Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1105 1087. Cruel and vicious

Lake Town is like a defenseless cake that Smaug cut haphazardly using the spitting flames as a knife.

 The town located on a huge rock in the lake suddenly lit up with a fire scar that shot into the sky, but it was enough to make people feel frightened!

But to Lan En and the elves' relief, Smaug's first wave of low-altitude fire breath apparently did not notice Bard.

The black arrows held by the human archers are the key to this battle.

Bard only has one chance, and everyone knows it. All the next actions of these people are actually just to create opportunities for Bard's arrow.

"put!"

Following an order from an unknown direction in the town, more than twenty arrows were fired from various places in Changhu Town with a sharp sound of breaking through the air.

 “Swish swish!”

 A series of arrows all accurately hit Smaug's body as he passed by at low altitude.

 The dragon's chest glows with hot red light from the inside out due to the flames sprayed on it.

However, this series of arrows still shot bright sparks at other places on its body.

 The elite of the elves, each one is a powerful archer. Their strength combined with bows and arrows can even ensure that every arrow shoots into solid rocks evenly!

 Among the more than 20 arrows, the power of one arrow is very different from the others.

The tail feather of the arrow was followed by a stream of white mist airflow, which was the high-density air rolled up by the excessively high speed during the flight of the arrow!

 Whether it’s speed, strength, or accuracy, this is even better than the elite shooters of the elves.

 But it makes no sense.

These twenty-odd bows and arrows only scratched out more than twenty sparks on Smaug's body.

 The sharp arrow hit the dragon's scales with a crisp sound.

Immediately afterwards, it was knocked away and knocked away in a spin, and the remains of the arrow fell in the messy Changhu Town.

A shot that can stably penetrate even rocks, and an arrow whose level is far higher than that of the elite elven archers. They all feel powerless in front of the dragon's scales.

 Smaug’s scales are so hard that it’s beyond imagination!

 In other words, if it didn’t have such hardness, it would have died directly when it was pressed by a huge amount of liquid gold into less than five steps thick.

"Um?!"

 A series of shots were ineffective, but they immediately attracted Smaug's attention.

The dragon flame that was spraying wantonly from its mouth suddenly stopped, and it closed its mouth, making a sound of surprise.

It was originally driven out of the lonely mountain by the dwarves who were familiar with the terrain after a battle of wits and swords. Now, although it was angry and furious, it was somewhat frightened.

 Compared with his previous arrogance for a long time after destroying two cities, Smaug is much more cautious now.

Smaug, who had originally slowed down to gain the opportunity to spray flames carefully, suddenly flapped his wings, whipping up a strong wind and increasing his speed.

　　passing low over Changhu Town.

It is said that on the day when the evil dragon raided the Gushan area, the first thing people saw was the large trees that were broken and blown away by the wind blown by the dragon's wings.

 There were crackling and tearing sounds of xylem being broken off everywhere.

The trees, strong and strong and rooted in the soil, were as fragile as toothpicks to the storm Smaug fanned.

 The buildings in Changhu Town are even more like this now.

 The solidity of wooden houses is incomparable to that of trees.

Smaug didn't even increase his speed at all, and the storm blew a large area of ​​the house into scattered wooden boards.

The dragon flame it just sprayed out suddenly spread out in a large area under the surge of air.

"Who are you? How dare you go against me and the great Smaug!"

The figure of the evil dragon is hovering in the sky. The cold fog on the lake is mixed with the black smoke from the burning buildings and the dark clouds in the sky, and the evil dragon is looming among them.

Its strong chest resonated with its voice, and its evil and low words made everyone in Changhu Town frown in discomfort.

 No one responded to it, everyone just stared coldly and tightened their weapons.

 But in the dark clouds in the sky, the evil dragon's dim and shining eyes were looming.

 “Oh! Elves! And humans! I can smell your scent! I can’t admit it!”

The dragon in the sky jumped out of one mist, and then glided into another mist.

It surrounds Changhu Town, which is small to it, but the people in Changhu Town can't help but become nervous, looking around and alert.

Smaug occupies the sky and is highly mobile. He has the initiative in the battlefield situation and can attack from any direction he wants.

 Under its circular flight, the entire Changhu Town was like a plate of guinea pigs placed in front of a cold and poisonous snake.

But the evil dragon’s coldness and malice don’t stop there.

They were created to carry out Morgoth's malice, and to allow Morgoth's chaotic 'notes' to disrupt the harmonious 'music' of the created world.

therefore

 “Hmph, hum hum!”  The low and sinister laughter came from the misty mist that reflected the firelight in the sky, intermittently, and penetrated directly into people's hearts.

 “Ah! I figured it out!”

 The sound of the dragon is accompanied by the whistling sound of its broad wings catching the air.

 “You all have made an appointment with the dwarves, right?”

 “You want my throne, you want my treasure!”

The dragon's voice sounded angry and high at first, but then quickly turned low.

“Hmph, there is no one in this shabby town, and no one can make pleasant screams or heart-warming cries under my flames. Let me think about it, let me think about it. Ah!”

Smaug made a very deliberate sound of realization.

“You sent those smelly fishermen to the Woodland Kingdom? Or the old land of Riverdale? Right?”

 “Don’t worry, don’t worry, they hide it well!”

“I’m going to burn them to death now so that you don’t have to worry anymore! Get ready to enjoy the fireworks blooming from the earth, humans and elves! Maybe there will be some sweet screams from your loved ones mixed in among them?”

“They will be burned alive by me right in front of your eyes!”

 In the deep voice of Smaug coming down from the sky, most of the people hiding in the town expressed surprise and fear.

They dare to stay in Changhu Town at this time and prepare to kill the evil dragon. Of course they are not afraid of death.

But none of them expected that the evil dragon would decide to kill others first to vent its anger so quickly.

Bard is because as a human, although he is a descendant of Girion in the river valley city, he has never seen or fought an evil dragon with his own eyes. He did not know that Smaug has such a quick mind and such a vicious character.

Thranduil and the elves had seen the dragon, and even witnessed the day when Smaug raided the Lonely Mountain.

 But precisely because they had seen how powerful and arrogant the evil dragon was that day, they now found it unexpected.

According to what the elves know about Smaug, how could it let go of those people in Lake Town who attacked it in the first place?

Whether it takes revenge or torture, the more pleasant it is, the better, and the more cruel it is, the better.

Now that the enemy is right under his nose, does Smaug actually want to fly out to find those helpless people who are far away?

But no matter what, this evil dragon that had been sleeping for more than sixty years burst out of the lonely mountain and appeared in the world again.

Its cruelty and viciousness once again made people feel a sense of panic.

 Cruelty and viciousness are not scary, but if cruelty and viciousness appear in a powerful evil dragon, it will be very scary!

 In the mist silhouetted by the firelight, the sinuous and ferocious figure of the evil dragon was swimming in the air.

　　With its malicious laughter that is so deep that it makes people uncomfortable.

 But then

 “Bang bang bang!”

A sound completely different from the sharp sound of bows and arrows piercing the air came from Changhu Town!

 Fireweed from the New World provided explosive power, which was contained in tubes made of highly skilled craftsmen and the strong body materials of the dragon.

 Three shots in a row!

 With accurate preview, it exploded directly on Smaug's dragon scales!

 The air wave of the explosion even dispersed the fog that covered the dragon's body in a small area!

If we talk about the power of projectiles, then the arrow Thranduil shot just now mixed with the elven archers is definitely stronger than the normal bullet of [Dragon Roar] that Lan En currently has.

If the general level of ordinary elven archers is that arrows can easily penetrate rocks, then Thranduil's arrows are aimed at the level of piercing through rock walls.

 But the shape of the arrow determines that its penetrating power is strong enough, the killing area is not large, and the momentum is not large.

The sharp force poked at the scales of the evil dragon, and finally it felt like a needle pricking it.

Smaug certainly felt pain, but it wasn't really an injury considering his size.

  But the heavy ballista [Dragon Roar] from the New World Survey Corps is different.

 The huge warhead and huge impact force are huge kinetic energy. The warhead cannot penetrate the scales, and the impact force can also push into the dragon's skin layer by layer!

 Immediately, the evil dragon's originally deep sneer was interrupted by the explosion.

It was not paying attention for a moment during the flight, and was disrupted by the impact of the heavy ballista ammunition.

 The wings tilted, and although there were some twists and turns in the end, he landed smoothly on the huge rock in the lake, the foundation of Changhu Town.

At the point where it landed, the wooden houses of the townspeople were as fragile as straw houses, and a piece of it would break into pieces with a gentle pull.

The same goes for the foundations of towns. The huge weight and sharp wing claws and hind legs crushed the artificial foundations, and finally stood firm by stepping on natural rocks.

Smaug slowly turned his head in the spreading fire. The town below him looked like a miniature landscape made of building blocks under his size.

Smaug's sudden forced landing shook the entire rock, but only the man holding the heavy ballista who stood up to face Smaug did not feel unsteady in his steps.

"To put it bluntly" Lan En, illuminated by the fire and in the eyes of the evil dragon, walked towards Smaug and pulled the bolt of the heavy ballista with a 'click' in his hand.

“Did you, this beast, get scared in the lonely mountain?”
