Chapter 44: Smaug the Dragon
The two days actually passed in a flash, but the two days were turbulent.
The elven army of the jungle kingdom is in full formation, standing on the front line of the lonely mountain, if the half-orc army launches its full strength, these elves will naturally not be able to resist, but in the past two days, the half-orc army has only been stationed in the lonely mountain, and the army has not moved, and there is no intention of entering the stone hall of the lonely mountain.
In fact, the scouts of the orc army have long been sent out to Mordor, although the main task assigned by the master has not been completed, but the occupation of the lonely mountain should be regarded as a consequence of the crime, right?
As long as the territory of Lonely Mountain is firmly in his hands, then it is like holding the door to enter the Middle-earth Continent, which is of strategic significance for the Mordor army to rule the Middle-earth Continent.
In the past two days, Dongfang Yu calmed down, thinking of the previous battle, and felt that those half-orcs did not seem to be coming for the lonely mountain, or even for the dwarves, but for themselves, which made Dongfang Yu feel that something was wrong, and after thinking about it, taking advantage of the night, Dongfang Yu picked a lone half-orc and subdued him.
Under some coercion and temptation, he pried open the mouth of the half-orc, which also confirmed Dongfang Yu's conjecture.
Sure enough, the order that the orc army received was to capture themselves alive, and the importance of this task was even higher than the occupation of the lonely mountain and the slaughter of the dwarves, and this order was also an order from the master of the castle in the highlands.
When did he catch the attention of the demon lord Sauron? And the purpose of capturing oneself alive, above all else?
Hearing this news, Dongfang Yu was really surprised and dazed, and after asking a few more questions, he realized that it was Pog who said that in the fairy lair, there were invisible invisible people who killed a lot of goblin goblins, and Sauron appeared.
"I see", at this time, Dongfang Yu really suddenly realized, from the matter in the fairy lair, Sauron deduced that the Supreme Demon Ring was in his hands? It's no wonder that he tried his best to capture himself alive.
"I see, you confused me that day in the elven lair, just so that Sauron would know your whereabouts? Want to get back into Sauron's hands? After slashing the half-orc with a sword, Dongfang Yu took out the Supreme Demon Ring and said in a low voice.
The Supreme Ring was made by Sauron, and it wanted to return to Sauron's hands in every possible way, Dongfang Yu had already known it from the original book, but he didn't expect that it was for this purpose to confuse his mind that day and let himself go on a killing spree, it seems that he has to be more vigilant against the Supreme Ring, and its wisdom is almost no less than that of humans.
"Mr. Dongfang, it's not early, it's time for you to leave", on the day of Turin, Sorin's voice had a hint of eagerness, and said to Dongfang Yu, who was sitting cross-legged, the time had reached dusk, but Dongfang Yu hadn't moved yet, no wonder Solin was in a hurry.
"Good", the surging internal force in the tendons and veins was slowly incorporated into the dantian, and he felt that his internal force was thick again, Dongfang Yu nodded, stood up, and there was already a giant eagle waiting next to him, and with a light tiptoe, Dongfang Yu slowly fell on the back of the giant eagle like a piece of goose feathers.
"Mr. Dongfang, be careful", Gandalf spoke, a thousand words, only this one sentence, the other dwarves, including Legolas, all looked at Dongfang Yu, although they did not speak, but the meaning of worry was revealed on their faces.
"Don't worry", Dongfang Yu nodded, the giant eagle's wings spread, and with a fierce wave, it set off a gust of wind, carrying Dongfang Yu, rising into the sky, and only flying towards the lonely mountain.
The giant eagle flew up in the air and hovered on the top of the lonely mountain, and the orcs below naturally noticed, and Pog ordered the orcs to stand by and wait for the giant eagle to fall.
In the past two days, Pogue was also a little panicked, and the scouts on his side sent a message to Mordor, but the master of Mordor brought a message to him, so that his army was only stationed at the foot of the lonely mountain, and the army was not allowed to go up the mountain, and it was forbidden to enter the stone hall.
The sky is getting darker and darker, the sun is gradually moving to the west, and in the distance, Thorin and his party are all nervously looking at Dongfang Jade, and the giant eagle has been hovering on the top of the lonely mountain, without the slightest intention of falling.
"What's the matter with Mr. Dongfang? The sun is about to set", Qili has the straightest temperament, and looked at the sun with almost half of his body falling below the horizon, and couldn't help but say eagerly.
The other dwarves did not speak, but the eagerness on their faces was undisguised.
In fact, looking at Dongfang Yu hovering in the air and not going down, these people's mentality is a little complicated, on the one hand, they are afraid that Dongfang Yu will go down, they will be killed by those half-orcs, on the other hand, they are afraid that Dongfang Yu will not go down and miss today, but they can only wait until next year, one year, which is enough for these half-orcs to firmly control Gushan in their hands.
Gandalf, Seran Duyi looked at Dongfang Yu from a distance, and did not speak, what kind of idea Dongfang Yu has, neither of them knows, but the two of them still know a little bit about Dongfang Yu, since he can't go down, he must have his own considerations, the longer he lives, the more calm his natural heart is, and he will not be as anxious as these dwarves to jump up and down.
Finally, under the complicated and eager gaze of the dwarves, the sun completely set, and the dwarves, their faces froze, and the atmosphere was a little strangely silent, and they wanted to scold, but they couldn't scold, after all, Dongfang Yu had no obligation to fall down and die.
"It's over......", Thorin and the others, their faces were ugly, their hearts were desperate, even the sun had set, and everything was over.
"Thorin, don't worry, wait, you see that Mr. Dongfang has not come back yet", Gandalf was silent for a moment as he spoke, looking at the appearance of these dwarves.
These words made Thorin's eyes light up, yes, Mr. Dongfang hasn't come back yet, why? There must still be a chance, right? Although, the sun has set.
Chirp......
At this moment, a crisp and loud eagle's cry sounded in the distance, and immediately, the giant eagle that had been hovering in the air swooped down.
"Move, Mr. Dongfang moves", watching the giant eagle swoop down, the dwarves were in high spirits one by one, and looked at the situation of the lonely mountain from afar.
"Catch him! Catch him all! The half-orcs who had been waiting for a long time naturally saw the giant eagle that swooped down, and Bog shouted loudly, leading the army of half-orcs towards the place where Dongfang Yu landed.
However, at the intersection of the secret road of the stone hall of the lonely mountain, it is on the cliff, and there is only one way to go up, Dongfang Yu jumped on the stone platform on the edge of the cliff, and the giant eagle was in the air, and its wings fanned wildly, setting off a hurricane, so that many half-orcs who climbed up fell to the bottom of the cliff, buying time for Dongfang Yu.
But in a moment, Dongfang Yu found the keyhole illuminated by the moonlight, inserted the key that Thorin gave him, and with a slight twist, a stone door appeared on the stone wall, and with a gentle push, a passage was revealed.
"That's it", Dongfang Yu's heart shook, Ling Bo started slightly, his feet were silent, and he floated in like a ghost.
Entering the stone hall, Dongfang Yu paused, his mouth opened slightly, and he was a little stunned.
In the stone hall, the mountains of gold coins, gems and gold utensils are really shocking, even if it is Dongfang Jade, there is a trace of greed in his heart, although he has long known it from the original work, but seeing it with his own eyes is another matter.
The stone hall is afraid that there are nearly 100 meters in radius, which is equivalent to the size of two or three football fields, and there is endless gold, at least several meters high, so much gold, if anyone has it, it can really be said that it is a rich country, even if it is to buy a country, it is not surprising.
How much is a kilogram of gold at the price of modern gold? Two or three hundred thousand yuan, right? How much is a ton? Two or three hundred million, how many tons are there in this stone hall? It's not surprising to say that there are tens of thousands of tons, or even 100,000 tons, right?
In the original book, almost no one can resist the charm of these gold, Dongfang Yu was a little scoffing at first, but, seeing it with his own eyes, this is another matter, don't say others, even Dongfang Yu's heart has a strong greed, wanting to take all this gold.
Of course, it is one thing to be greedy, it does not mean that Dongfang Yu has lost his mind, and soon, Dongfang Yu reined in his mind and carefully searched for the whereabouts of the Akon Treasure Diamond.
Ling Bo walked slightly, Dongfang Yu was like a ghost, silent under his feet, Dongfang Yu would not forget that under this gold, there was a giant dragon dozens of meters away.
Knock knock knock......
It's just that, after about ten minutes, a dense sound of footsteps came from the secret passage, mixed with the shouts of the orcs, and the army of orcs outside finally came.
Whoa......
With the footsteps and shouts of the orcs, the gold coins in the stone hall suddenly flowed, like quicksand.
Dongfang Yu's heart tightened, Ling Bo launched with all his strength in micro steps, and in a moment ran to a remote corner of the stone hall, burying himself under the gold coin, revealing only a pair of eyes to look out from the gap in the gold coin.
Soon, the half-orcs ran in, and when they saw the golden mountain in the stone hall, they were also stunned, and immediately shouted excitedly.
The fire dragon Smaug was naturally woken up by the shouts of these half-orcs, and when he saw the dragon suddenly appearing from the gold, the half-orcs who screamed with joy were like male ducks who had suddenly been choked by the neck.
"Dirty thief", fire dragon Smaug, dozens of meters long, vertical beast pupils, like a lantern, as he spoke, the bloody mouth opened, the raging dragon fire spit out directly, and in a moment these half-orcs turned into ashes, and even a lot of gold coins on the ground melted.
"This stone hall, is there a secret passage? I want to see who dares to come and fight my golden idea", listening to the continuous footsteps in the secret passage, the evil murderous aura on Smaug's body was undisguised, and his wings fluttered, and he rushed out of the secret passage......
