Chapter 265 Orcs Night Attack, Dwarf Guard Room

Long Lake Town.

Borg led a team of orcs to advance slowly on the roof, carefully looking for the target.

Because there was no boat, they were blocked by the huge lake for a long time, and finally caught up.

"The damn dwarf is nearby, I smell it."

Borg followed the smell of the dwarf, constantly screening in many houses, and narrowed the search range to the vicinity of Bard's house.

Inside the house, Bi Fu looked at the steaming casserole boredly, "Qili, you hold on for a few more minutes, it will be ready soon."

"Thank you." Qili nodded weakly.

"I'll go see my father!" Sigrid took a piece of clothing, "I'm a little worried about him guarding the bell tower alone."

However, as soon as she walked to the door, Aaron's thought body grabbed her right hand that opened the door.

"You..."

Sigrid's face was slightly red, and before she could say anything, the thought body pulled him back.

"Something is not right." The thought body looked at the people in the room with a serious look, "Barn, you and your two sisters hide under the table and protect them.

Bifur, Bofur, take your weapons and guard your spirit."

"Is the dragon coming?" Bofur asked.

"It's not Smaug, but it's not much better." The thought body said seriously, "I heard dense footsteps, the nearest one is right above our heads."

Everyone was stunned for a moment, Barn and the others didn't understand, but the three dwarves had realized who the enemy was.

After the three brothers and sisters hid, the thought body picked up a long sword and slowly walked to the door.

There was no surprise. The moment the door opened, an orc roared and rushed over.

Puff!

The thought body stabbed him in the chest with a sword, and then kicked him into the lake with one foot, and quickly closed the door.

"Bad news, we are surrounded."

As soon as the voice fell, the back door was suddenly knocked open, and an orc rushed in with a dagger.

At the same time, three orcs jumped in from the roof one after another.

Seeing the ferocious and ugly orcs appear in their home in this way, Sigrid and Tilda panicked and screamed.

Bofur stood guard in front of Kili's bed with an axe, and Bifur stood guard in front of the table with a hammer.

"Protect them."

The thought body quickly raised the sword and went forward, fighting one against four, and was not at a disadvantage.

When he trained at home, he started with ten people, and the four orcs were all killed in less than half a minute.

The three brothers and sisters were all stunned and looked at Aaron in disbelief.

They can barely kill fish now, but they can kill orcs, and five of them.

"Don't be distracted, we are still in danger now."

A moment later, another wave of orcs rushed in, not only did the number of people double, but the number was still increasing.

The thought body couldn't do everything, and the melee was about to break out.

Fortunately, unexpected reinforcements appeared at this time. Two elves, Taril and Legolas, joined the battlefield, and the pressure on everyone was greatly reduced.

Orcs were killed one after another. One of them jumped from the back door to the wooden boat on the lake and conveyed the situation in the house to Borg, "Oakshield is not here."

Borg roared angrily, unwilling to give up, but the main goal was not there, and he did not want to waste his troops in vain.

"Retreat, gather on the bridge."

Borg chose to retreat without hesitation, and the orc who sent him the message was miserable.

The body of a companion was thrown to the stern by Legolas, and he was lifted up while standing at the bow. Legolas seized the opportunity to cut off his head with two swords as scissors.

"So cruel." The thought body curled his lips, "But it is not too cruel to treat Orcs."

"Are they all dead?" Barn asked.

"Of course not, there are at least dozens of them outside." The thought body said helplessly, "We are lucky, Borg's target is Thorin, otherwise it will be a hard battle."

"We can't let them go like this." Legolas looked at the retreating orcs, "Tariel, let's chase them."

"Wait a minute." The thought body stopped him and stretched out his right hand, "You should give me back the wand, and you must give it back to me.

Smaug will attack Long Lake Town tonight, and I need my weapon."

"Dragon?" Legolas was a little skeptical, "Are you sure?"

" That's what the prophecy says. The descendants of the former mayor of Long Lake Town and I have made preparations for it.

Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't return it to me. I am also proficient in wandless spellcasting, but I always feel a little uncomfortable without something in my hand. "

Legolas hesitated for a moment, and took out two wands, one black and one white, from his waist. "Whether what you said is true or false, my father's..."

"I will treat it."

"That's good, Tariel, let's go."

Tariel was stunned for a moment, and looked at the injured Qili. After a moment of hesitation, he was about to leave.

Seeing the deep affection and reluctance in Qili's eyes, the missing body was speechless in his heart, but still said: "Your Highness, can you lend me Tariel for one night?"

"What did you say?" Legolas glared at him fiercely, his left hand already on the quiver behind his back. If Aaron didn't give him a reasonable explanation, don't blame him for turning hostile.

"Don't get me wrong, I just want her to protect the three siblings.

Their father and I will have a decisive battle with Smaug in the bell tower, and we may not be able to take care of them at that time, so... I mean that we can't let the warriors down."

"Tariel, what do you think?"

Tariel sighed and nodded.

Legolas was not surprised by her decision, and he was about to leave immediately to hunt down the orcs alone.

"Wait a minute."

Legolas staggered and looked at Aaron unhappily, "Can you say everything at once?"

The thought body smiled awkwardly but politely, "We don't need her now, just wait until you finish hunting down the orcs and come back in time."

Legolas was stunned for a moment, and his mood improved a lot, "Let's go."

After the two elves left, the thought body walked up to Kili with a look of disgust, "I left an elf for you, do you have anything to say to me?"

"Thank you." Kili held Aaron's hands gratefully, "Brother, you will be my real brother from now on."

The thought body's eyes twitched, why didn't I realize you were so shameless before!

......

Lonely Mountain, Erebor.

Aaron and Bilbo ran to the corner of the stairs and lifted the invisible state at the same time.

"As expected of the last dragon in Middle-earth, this destructive power is really terrifying!" Aaron quietly stretched his head out and found that Smaug was washing the floor with dragon flames, and he couldn't help but secretly smack his lips.

"Don't worry about that, it's more important to escape." Bilbo said anxiously, pulling Aaron up the stairs.

But when he ran to the second platform, he ran into Thorin, who was panting.

"Are you still alive?"

"You won't live long, the dragon is coming soon." Bilbo said.

"Did you find the Arkenstone?"

"Good luck." Aaron nodded and walked towards the passage behind Thorin.

Ding!

A sword stopped in front of the passage, Thorin blocked the way of the two, and said coldly: "Arkenstone."

Aaron frowned. He originally thought that Smaug was exaggerating, but now it seems that the Arkenstone can really affect people's minds.

"Let's leave here first." Bilbo said.

Thorin pointed his sword directly at Bilbo, forcing him to retreat backwards.

"Give it to me."

"I, that gem, actually..."

Bilbo was about to explain something, and a low breathing sound came from not far away.

The three of them turned around subconsciously and met a pair of cold vertical pupils.

Smaug found them, and the red light on his abdomen was clearly visible in the not-so-bright palace, and it continued to extend to his long neck.

At this time, the rest of the dwarves also ran out of the passage, just lined up in a row, facing the dragon.

"I will burn you to death." Smaug said as he walked a few steps to the front of everyone.

"Run!"

Everyone immediately jumped down the steps and barely avoided the fierce red dragon flame.

There was a passage entrance just under the steps, and everyone got in quickly without a moment's hesitation.

Boom!

Smaug aimed his mouth at the ceiling and sprayed dragon flames, and the flames spread over a large area. Thorin, the last one to pass through the passage, was affected by the dragon flames and his clothes were set on fire.

"Clear springs are like water."

Aaron threw a stream of water to hit Thorin Mountain, helping him put out the fire.

Then everyone moved forward carefully along the passage, turned several corners and came to a long corridor.

"We got rid of it," Dori said in a low voice.

"No," Dwalin shook his head, "it's cunning."

"Where are we going now?" Bilbo asked.

"To the guardhouse in the west," Thorin said, "there may be a way to escape there."

"It's too high up there, there's no way to escape," Balin objected.

"That's our only chance, we have to give it a try," Thorin said, leading everyone to tiptoe up the aisle.

But when they fled to the guardhouse, they saw corpses covered with spider webs all over the floor.

The exit was blocked by boulders, and dozens of dwarves starved to death here, and even a few babies could be seen among them.

"The corpses of our compatriots." Balin said in a heavy voice, "They must have come here with great hope."

"It's shocking! This is the price of hope turning into despair." Aaron pursed his lips, "There should be no other way here, or there is only one way we can go, go back and kill Smaug."

"We are no match for it together." Dwalin said, "We can hide here for a few days, but if we go out, we will probably die in the flames."

"That's better than waiting to die here." Aaron spread his hands, "If you fight to the death, you still have a chance to survive, but if you stay here, you will definitely die.

You and your fellow dwarves will turn into mummies and stay in this desperate place forever, but I will definitely not die.

You may not believe it, but this place is not a desperate place for me."

Bilbo believed in Aaron. He had seen Aaron's magic with his own eyes. If anyone could escape from Smaug, it must be him.
