Thorin's speech plunged the entire room into ecstasy, but Mayor Moneybag was a little unhappy.

The agreement between him and Thorin is actually a secret agreement, and he doesn't plan to let these people know, because he never intended to distribute the 20 million gold coins to these people, but now, Thorin has completely announced the matter of this contract, so there will be some trouble at that time.

But it doesn't matter, the military power is in his hands, and when the time comes, when he gets 20 million gold coins, he will let these troops escort him out of Changhu Town with gold coins and fly away.

As for the pearl of the water that Thorin had promised, to recast its glory, he was not at all interested.

It takes a lot of effort and energy to recast the glory, and he has never been a growth that sincerely serves the people, he just wants to make a fortune and leave.

Of course, before he got 20 million gold coins, he still had to do enough posture.

So, he cleared his throat and announced loudly, "Residents of Long Lake Town! Our good days are just around the corner! As long as we help His Royal Highness Prince Thorin, when they return to the Lonely Mountain Palace, our Changhu Town will be able to regain its glory! In the future, everyone will be very rich, and the water in Changhu Town will be full of yellow and clear gold coins, and it will become a paradise on earth! ”

The crowd cheered loudly, and the mood became more and more frenzied.

Bard said loudly, "Don't you all want to die! Promises are always empty, but Smaug's anger is real! Once Smaug is angered, the town of Changhu will be in ruins, and by that time, human lives will be gone, and what kind of pearl on the water will be talked about, and the glory will be restored? Thorin can't enter the Palace of the Lonely Mountain, and if he is allowed to enter the Palace of the Lonely Mountain, we will end in tragedy, just as the fable sings! ”

There were some fanatical residents who calmed down a little, after all, they worshipped Bard, but they were all poor, they wanted to be rich, even if they would face a lot of risks in the process of becoming rich, they had nothing to lose, and they were willing to take that risk.

Alfred took the opportunity to laugh and said, "Residents, there are people here who can't see Changhu Town!" He's pretty rich now, so he doesn't want anyone else to be as rich as he is, right? Mr. Bard? Moreover, I remember that Mr. Bud should be considered a descendant of the hereditary mayor, since the trainee mayor committed suicide, the situation in the town of Long Lake has deteriorated day by day, and now it is almost becoming a civilian gathering place, and Bard wants to prove through this situation that the elected mayor is incompetent, and their hereditary family is the best! He wants to be mayor himself! In order for him to be the mayor of the town, he did not hesitate to let everyone eat chaff vegetables, and he couldn't see everyone! ”

The eyes of the people below looked at Bard and suddenly turned to hatred.

Blocking people's wealth is like killing your parents.

Before, these people still worshipped Bud, but now, their worship of Pug has come to naught.

Bard sighed helplessly, "You high-ranking dog officials, you don't have any skills, you can't govern this city well, you can't manage the city's trade, and you can't keep the city's residents fed and clothed, but you are only very capable of one thing, that is, reversing black and white!" Sooner or later, the inhabitants will understand that they are wrong, but alas, everyone will pay a heavy price then. ”

Alfred sneered and said, "Bud, there's no need for you to fake here!" I can arrest you just because you led someone to break into the mayor's gate...... As for the others, because they were deceived by you, I won't hold them accountable for the time being! Come on, get Bud! ”

"Yes!" Two soldiers stepped forward and grabbed Bard by the shoulders.

With Bard's strength as a sharpshooter, it is more than enough to deal with these two soldiers, but once he does it here, not only will he not be able to escape, but he will be convicted of wanting to rebel.

The two soldiers tried to push Bud out of the gate, but Bud stood firmly in place, and the two soldiers couldn't push Bud half a point with all their strength.

Alfred immediately gritted his teeth and said viciously: "Go to more people, I don't believe it, 10 people can't push him alone!" ”

"Yes!" The soldiers surrounded Bard with a bang.

Bud said in a deep voice: "You want to imprison me, I will not resist, but there are some things I must say. The demon dragon Smaug is terrifying, have you forgotten how the ancient town of River was turned into ruins? On a whim, Smaug ignited the ancient town of Hegu with a few mouthfuls of dragon's breath, and the originally rich town burned for only a few hours before it turned into ruins, with a population of more than 10,000, and only two or three thousand people escaped in the end! What's the use of more wealth? Can 20 million gold coins build a glorious riverdale town? Even if it can be built, it's just a matter of a few dragon's breath fires from Smaug! ”

The crowd fell silent.

To be honest, no one had personally experienced the battle in Riverdale, because it was thousands of years ago, and it could only be regarded as a legend.

But, if you think about it, there is some truth in Bard's words.

Riverdale was definitely strong and wealthy, but it couldn't hold on to Smaug's wrath.

Stronger than Hegu Town is the Lonely Mountain Kingdom.

But what about the Gushan Kingdom, which was not destroyed by a few mouths of anger from Smaug?

From this point of view, other people's promises are really not as important as their own lives.

When the mayor of Qianbaozi saw this situation, he immediately frowned.

He didn't care if there would be problems in Changhu Town, nor would he care if the lives of these civilians would be in danger, what he cared about was whether he could get the 20 million gold coins.

As long as he can get his hands on it, he will fly away with 20 million gold coins, and it is none of his business if this place becomes more brilliant or destroyed by a dragon's breath fire.

Mayor Qianbaozi smiled coldly, "Speaking of the demise of Riverdale Town, I'm afraid it can't be separated from one person. That man was Mr. Bard's ancestor, Mayor Girion. Back then, he took 10 black arrows cast by elves to shoot the dragon Smaug, but unfortunately he missed his head and wasted the opportunity with one arrow after another, and in the end, instead of killing Smaug, he aroused the wrath of the fashionable brother, and finally caused the destruction of Riverdale Town, so the culprit is obviously the ancestor of Mr. Bard! ”

The residents below immediately turned their heads to each other, and it was clear that they believed this statement.

Dad's heart suddenly had a despair.

He couldn't believe that the mayor of Qianbazi would believe such a shoddy smear.

His ancestor, Girion, stood up to Smaug's attacks in order to protect Riverdale, and finally died of depression because he couldn't shoot Smaug!

His ancestors never considered themselves heroes, but by any standard, his ancestors were indeed great heroes!!

But now, these people put the blame for the destruction of Hegu Town on the heads of his ancestors.

It's chilling.
