Chapter 1092 1074. Your own decision
“I understand.”
After Bilbo stood up, Lan sighed and nodded.
It is natural for the dwarves to take back their hometown. There is no reason to stop them in the first place. These words are just Lan En's reminder to Thorin for peace of mind.
After nodding, Lan En was ready to greet the flannel ball and leave.
But wait for the kitten to jump lightly from the opposite roof to Lan En.
"Meow~"
Ellu stood up, with two white front paws drooping, and its furry head looked hesitantly at the two boats of the dwarves, especially on the boat. His friend Bilbo looked at Lan again.
"Um, boss meow! Why don't you let me go with them too!"
"Huh?"
Lan lowered his head and looked at the flannel ball strangely, and so did Bilbo.
"The main thing they need to do this time is to steal a gem, right?"
Flannel Ball raised his head and said softly.
Mao Mao has also heard a rough idea of Thorin's plan for their restoration of the country.
"Bilbo has flesh pads on his feet, and I also have flesh pads. His smell is unfamiliar to the dragon, and Smaug must have never smelled my scent, meow!"
Fluffy Ball was a little unsure at first, but the more he talked about it, the more confident he became.
Finally, he straightened up his chest and stood with his front paws on his hips.
"Stealing things! I'm very good at it, meow!"
"As long as you don't get caught stealing, the evil dragon won't wake up and everyone will be out of danger, meow! After all, stealing is The gem is the most crucial part!”
“I can help, meow!”
The kitten's declaration caused a small discussion among the dwarves.
The dwarves were also excited by the flannel ball.
"Yes!" Groin scratched his lush beard and said, "The important thing is to steal things. It would be best if we don't have to meet Smaug!"
"We There is Bilbo! He is a master of snitches, everyone can see it!" Bombo sat in the boat like a big soft ball. "But wouldn't it be better to have a master of snitches? Double the success! Speed!”
Even Dvalin, who has always been the toughest among the dwarves’ Lonely Mountain Expedition Team, couldn’t help but point his bald head with his arms crossed.
"For the sake of our hometown, we are not afraid of death or facing the dragon. But if we can proceed safely as planned, why not?"
But now, it is Bill who bravely stood up and spoke just now. Bo himself waved his hands repeatedly.
"No! Stop!"
He said loudly, standing up from the boat unsteadily and looking at the velvet ball on the shore.
"This is very dangerous, flannel ball. I can't, I can't let you take risks with me just because we are friends. I don't have that right. That's a dragon! Steal things from under its nose. It’s my mission.”
"But after successfully stealing, many people will be safe, cat!"
The furry little face of the flannel ball looked at the hobbit seriously.
"I'm not helping you just because I'm your friend, meow! This is my own decision, meow!"
After saying that, Eluma turned around and looked up at his boss, watery There is hope in his big eyes.
“Can you meow, boss?”
Fluffy Ball's sudden decision made Lan En squat down and look directly into Ellu Cat's eyes.
Two pairs of cat eyes looked at each other in silence. Suddenly, there was a smile in the demon hunter's cat eyes.
"Progress is so fast, flannel ball."
"Meow?"
The surrounding flames were still crackling, and Lan En stood up straight again. .
He looked at the kitten in front of him with a smile.
“You collected information and then made your own decision based on the information. This decision was brave and persistent. When you started taking risks with me, didn’t you say that your goal was to become a great hunting cat?”
"Now it seems that you are very energetic! You are also solid in your actions towards the goal. It is completely different from other things."
The Qilin outside the wall tilted his head. Then his ruby-like eyes narrowed dangerously, and he lowered his head and headed in Lan En's direction.
Immediately, he was held down by the demon hunter, preventing him from coming over.
"I'm very happy for you, flannel ball. It's really good to see the progress of friends."
Lan nodded to the kitten who raised his head.
"Just do it if you decide. Don't worry, I will support you."
"Thank you, boss meow!"
The flannel ball jumped up happily and followed Lan En clapped his hands in mid-air, then held on to his kitty helmet and jumped onto the dwarves' ship.
——
For Changhu Town, a long night has passed.
The last night was too cruel and sudden for the townspeople.
Although Long Lake Town is poor and life is difficult, this land is poor and desolate because of Smaug, and they live on the rocks in the lake. Although the elves in the dense forest next to them are difficult to contact, they are still there in the end. A kind and orderly race.
So since Smaug fell asleep, Lake Town has never been troubled in the past sixty years.
Gradually, people only knew that there was an evil dragon in the Lonely Mountain, but they no longer even knew what Smaug looked like. The evil dragon slept for more than sixty years in just one sleep, but how many sixty years can a short-lived human being have?
Most of the old people who saw it flying out of the lonely mountain with their own eyes to plunder and devour it are no longer here.
The vague description left behind became a story, which was then twisted into something far removed from the truth.
Just like in the magical medieval world, modern warlocks have the same understanding of ancient warlocks.
And now, the residents of Changhu Town finally understand once again what the true cruelty and carnage caused by fighting is.
Even a small orc force caused huge damage to this small town that was unprepared due to its comfort.
The ashes that were blown into the sky by the heat wave of the fire at night gradually burned out and floated down again.
The gray-white ashes mixed with white snowflakes make people feel not only cold in the body, but also in the heart.
The snowflakes suppressed the remaining flames and prevented the fire from spreading throughout the town. Just walking on the wooden boardwalk, I still have to lift my legs from time to time to step over the lying or lying corpses.
Lann stepped on the walk with boots made of gliding lizard skin. He squatted slightly and lowered a slumped corpse that was nailed to the wall with the rough knives of the orcs.
This person may have been living his daily life the day before, discussing the future with his family or friends, but now, there is nothing left.
Lan En killed all the orcs he saw last night and sent the humans he saw to the square defense line.
But the orcs had already arranged dispersed formations when they attacked and launched operations from various places in Changhu Town. He couldn't take care of it after all.
There was a heavy but slow collision sound on the wooden piles that supported the trail to isolate the water.
Lan En looked back and saw that it was the boat that the mayor of Chang Lake Town had driven out of his official residence after the orcs invaded.
The golden light on the ship at that time was simply dazzling against the flames.
But now, only half of the hull is left floating in the waterway. Only a few gold coins are scattered in the gaps between the planks of the hull. The rest of the gold and silver treasures have sunk to the bottom.
The mayor with a big belly also lay on his back on this half of the boat, with his legs soaked in the water. Only his upper body did not slide down due to friction.
The lace scarf around his neck has been filled with blood flowing from his neck.
The whole person was pale from blood loss and bluish-white from freezing.
Until now, he was still clutching the handle of a golden cup in his stiff hand.
"Dragon disease."
Lan En murmured as he watched the half-ship with the corpse drifting away in the waterway along with the ice floes.
There are still many wisps of smoke from the fire floating upward in Changhu Town.
From the ruins came muffled or heart-wrenching cries.
Lan En headed towards the square. As expected, the closer he got to the square, the louder the noise from the crowd became.
The square in front of the mayor's residence was originally used for gatherings. Now people who were frightened last night still stay here nervously, not wanting to leave even if it is snowing in the sky.
The safety here last night was the most important thing for these townspeople who had suffered changes.
The shield-bearing guards were replaced in the square to rest. A group of male townspeople took over the shields, weapons, and armors. They still stood nervously at the position of the defense line last night, staring at the darkness outside the defense line. The corners and dilapidated ruins were on guard against the orcs who had left.
The mayor's official residence was already filled with people, and many female townspeople brought out large basins of hot water and food.
Bud was busy in the middle of the square.
"Thank God! You are here!"
As soon as he saw the tall figure outside the square, Bud immediately shouted and walked over.
"It seems you did a good job, Master Bud."
In the eyes of the townspeople with curiosity and wonder, Lan was welcomed in by Bud.
“Stop talking.” Bud frowned, looking like he had a headache, “People were frightened last night, and now they stay in the square and refuse to leave, but now it’s starting to snow again. You can’t live in the open air.”
After finishing speaking, Bard looked at the demon hunter seriously.
“Thank you, Lan En. We all heard from the townspeople you brought here yesterday that you saved many people. And you reminded the mayor that these guards were allowed to wear them at that time. The shield can hold up a line of defense later."
"And if something happens to them, I really don't know if I have the courage to live now."
Bud said sincerely and looked behind him.
Lan En also turned his head. His three children are all doing their best to help others,
"Maybe I can't repay your help now, but please believe that our family will always do their best. Remember this kindness.”
“Don’t say too much.” Lan En waved his hand and smiled, “Just have some food. I’ve been busy all night and haven’t eaten yet. The mouth is hot."
Bud nodded and shouted to his little daughter behind him.
"Sigrid, bring some food. It needs to be hot!"
Then he turned to look at Lan En.
"Let's eat together and let's talk while we eat. My mind is in chaos right now. There are problems everywhere and problems that need to be solved everywhere."
"But I heard that you are a member of the River Valley A descendant of the city lord. "
"I am a descendant of the city lord, but I have been able to fish and shoot arrows since I was a child."
< br>
Bud's little daughter brought over two steaming dinner plates, but before Lan En and Bud could sit down and start eating, there was another commotion outside the square.
That was two elves appearing in front of people.
