Not far from the Lonely Mountain, after the people of Long Lake Town fled the town for several days, they discovered that Smaug did not appear as they thought. It seemed that Smaug was just out for a walk.

After living in the wild for a few days, they had to move back to Changhu Town. After all, they basically had nowhere to go except there.

The elves of Mirkwood will not accept them, even if they know in their hearts that as long as Smaug exists, they will never find peace, and they can only choose to make their home here in the Lonely Mountain.

The only one who knew something about the situation was Bard, but he only vaguely saw two giant beasts fighting. He didn't know who was losing and who was winning.

He once thought about persuading these townspeople to move to other places, but after thinking about it carefully, he gave up the idea.

Not to mention how long it would take to migrate and how many people would die on the way, Bard was not confident in just how to convince them.

In this case, it is better to stay here, not to mention that Bard also wants to know who won between Smaug and the new giant beast that appeared that day?

He wanted to go over and take a look, but definitely not now. He would have to wait at least a few months to make sure that Smaug fell asleep again.

However, he didn't know that his idea was doomed to fail. With Bilbo's help, the dwarves had escaped from the elves' dungeon, and used the elves' wine barrels to leave Mirkwood, and were heading towards the ancient town of He.

While drifting, you will arrive here soon.

However, this time, the dwarves were not so lucky. After experiencing the incident on the Lonely Mountain, Bard was no longer interested in fishing, so he naturally missed the dwarves.

After drifting for a period of time, these dwarves also came ashore one after another. However, not long after they landed, they were discovered by the people of River Valley Town.

The mayor who originally planned to leave with the treasure returned again. As long as Smaug didn't really fly here, he could continue to be his mayor with peace of mind.

Thorin Oakenshield and the others were escorted to the center of the town, waiting for the mayor's decision.

Due to historical issues, the people here are no strangers to dwarves. After all, their ancestors were once under the rule of dwarves.

However, now, they don't have much favorable impressions of the dwarves. After all, it was the wealth of the dwarves that attracted the fire dragon Smaug!

Originally, the mayor wanted to take them directly into prison, but was stopped by Bard. He could see that these dwarves were not weak. If he could make friends with them, he might be able to get some help in the future.

Yes! Bud has always hoped to regain his family and clear the name of his ancestors!

He hopes to become a leader and lead the people of River Valley Town, and has been quietly preparing for this. However, the power of the mayor in the town is too great, and he has never relaxed his surveillance on him.

If these dwarves can be saved, they may be the key to breaking the situation!

Because Bard has also undergone great changes during this period, he can feel that his strength is getting stronger and his physical fitness is getting stronger, which also arouses his ambition.

Bud is still very popular in Changhu Town. Even though they are poor people, with their support, the mayor can't say much.

After all, he still had to maintain his superficial kindness. It happened that the dwarves still had some huge wine barrels that could be used as collateral. Seeing that there was really no money to be made from the dwarves, the mayor had no choice but to let them go.

But before that, he warned Bard. He felt that Bard had always coveted his position as mayor. If he could take this opportunity to make Bard a bad person, it would be great. He would not do it at all.

I don't believe these dwarves can settle down.

"Bard! You have to remember that once these dwarves cause trouble here, they will all be blamed on you!"

Naturally, the mayor would not give up this opportunity to suppress Bard. Although Bard was helpless, he could only respond.

However, he still knew the temper of the dwarves. After taking them into his home to repair, he warned the dwarves not to cause trouble here!

Although dwarves are bastards, they still have considerations when facing their benefactors.

But it depends on the situation. If you choose between the benefactor and the wealth of the Lonely Mountain, the dwarf will abandon Bard without hesitation!

Bud looked at these vulgar dwarves, and he was doubting his decision deep in his heart. He felt that he seemed to have made a mistake.

Especially after he figured out that the dwarf's target was the solitary mountain, he was even more scratching his head!

"No! Absolutely not now! Smaug just woke up a few days ago. You are going to die now!"

After Thorin and the others heard Bard's words, they were extremely frightened deep in their hearts. In their opinion, the best situation is that Smaug is still sleeping, they steal the Arkenstone, and then gather the army to re-establish the kingdom!

But the current situation was something that none of them expected. After all, the time when Smaug woke up was such a coincidence.

But even so, it can't dissuade Thorin and the others. The closer they get to Gushan, the crazier Thorin becomes!

After unsuccessfully asking for weapons from Bard, they ignored Bard's obstruction and continued to the Lonely Mountain. Of course, they needed some weapons before that!

And these weapons naturally belong to the mayor of Changhu Town!

The behavior of the dwarves naturally made Bard angry and cursed. He regretted very much that he should not have saved these dwarves!

It would have been fine in normal times, but now that Smaug had just woken up, their arrival would definitely alarm Smaug, and Bard did not expect a giant beast to fight Smaug again.

The dwarves' theft of weapons was discovered by the mayor's guards, and as the guarantor of these dwarves, Bard was also arrested.

In order to completely defeat Bard, the mayor naturally would not give up this opportunity. He and his henchman Alfred gathered Bard and the dwarves in an open space in the center of the town, and he wanted to judge them here!

However, Thorin Oakenshield revealed his origins and purpose, and inspired the entire town of Lake Town.

Under the temptation of the wealth in the Lonely Mountain, everyone selectively forgot about the commotion Smaug made a few days ago, let alone the greedy mayor.

However, after releasing the dwarves, he had no reason to continue imprisoning Bard, which made him a little distressed, but compared with the upcoming wealth, Bard was nothing at all!

In the eyes of the mayor, this deal is naturally a very good deal. All he paid was some weapons that were gathering dust in the warehouse. If the dwarf succeeds, then he will gain a large amount of wealth. How can this make him
Chapter completed!
