The Bizarre Adventure of the Warhammer Elves

Chapter 512: The cannon is firing at him

As the saying goes:

The cannons are firing at him, and the giant whale is swallowing the fuso~

Perhaps without the use of enchanted ammunition, a mass-produced cannon from the Forge World is only as powerful as the black arrows of the Dwarven Wind Crossbow, which can only break Smaug's scales;

If dozens of cannons launched a volley at Smaug in the sky at the same time, then Smaug, the overlord of the sky, would only need to wave his wings at will to escape from the siege easily;

But if Smaug is on all fours at the moment, and at the same time there are hundreds of breech-loaded rifled cannons equipped with armor-piercing bullets pointed at him, then the situation is completely different:

"Open fire, let the cannon fire and blast him!"

Rumbling--

Following Rohan's order, hundreds of cannons that had been ready immediately let out a terrifying roar, slamming into the huge dragon with raindrops of armor-piercing bullets.

The weakness of the war beast was immediately apparent. Because it was so large, every piece of skin on Smaug's body could be assigned a cannonball of its own.

The armor-piercing warheads made of ebony steel are as sharp as steel nails, and can easily pierce Smaug's proud scales!

Roar--

Smaug was already in the pain of "telecommunication fraud". At this moment, the salvo of hundreds of armor-piercing bullets was like the last bag of gold that broke the camel's back, completely breaking his spine.

Just now, he was still thinking about what kind of earthy love words he should say when chatting if he really met the same kind of people:

"My armor is as hard as iron, no sword can penetrate it; my claws are as sharp as knives, capable of tearing apart any armor in the world; my wings are hurricanes and scourges!"

He is like an ordinary but confident dragon, eager to show off his power in front of his own kind and satisfy his inflated vanity.

However, the cruel reality is that at this moment, he is constantly being bombarded by the scam of "unrequited love online".

Even the handsome female dragon who previously sent him an email to tease him seemed to be thinking about tearing a piece of flesh from his body:

Roar!

In the sky, Nidhogg's mouth was filled with purple thunder that was constantly jumping. Her dragon eyes were constantly looking at Smaug below who was wailing under the bombardment, and her eyes were full of ridicule.

As early as when Lohan asked her to use the "Beautiful Dragon Trick" to seduce Smaug, she had always been opposed to it in her heart.

After all, as a storm dragon whose wisdom is growing rapidly year by year, she prides herself on being aloof and has always held herself to strict standards, so naturally she naively thinks that other dragons are like this too.

As for those ash dragons...

Although those guys could survive, their individual combat capabilities were so embarrassing that even as a friend, she was worried that she would accidentally crush them to death.

Moreover, the intelligence level of the Ash Dragon is too low. Although it can understand the simple commands given by the dragon riders, it is obviously not able to communicate normally with Nidhogg.

At present, a Smaug with relatively normal intelligence finally appeared, but he turned out to be a mentally stupid young man who was as stupid as a fool when he first met him...

Hey, destroy it, quickly!

Accompanied by a ghostly purple electric light falling from the sky, the terrifying light instantly illuminated the entire lonely mountain. Even the residents as far away as Changhu Town were shocked by such a terrifying scene.

Rumbling--

Countless elves and humans all stared blankly at Nidhogg in the sky. Everyone could see how terrible the destructive power this thunder contained.

It's too scary. If such thunder landed directly in Changhu Town, it would probably be powerful enough to tear the entire town apart, right?

In front of the fishing boat dock in Changhu Town, the belated dwarf expedition team finally had the honor to see their hometown after sixty years of absence, as well as the elven army that was launching an attack on the Lonely Mountain:

"Bahrain, you are the eldest in our team. I wonder if you can recognize what is going on with that terrifying natural disaster that is coming like a storm?"

"It turns out that not only Smaug, there are other dragons in this world!"

"Well... brother, after all, I am not a traveling mage like Gandalf, so how can I possibly know everything about a creature like a giant dragon?"

"Don't worry, Gandalf should have killed hundreds of dragons when he was young, and he should be arriving soon. I guess it should be more than enough to deal with two dragons now, right?"

"Those elves are planning to take back the Lonely Mountain, but it is the hometown of the Durin dwarves. What should we do next?"

……

The dwarves watched in horror as Smaug kept wailing in pain under the siege of the elves' army. All living beings are equal under the dragon's power, not to mention these poor dwarves who have been living under the shadow of the dragon.

If it weren't for their loyalty to Thorin, I'm afraid these dwarves would have dispersed long ago!

Faced with this situation, even Thorin, known as Oakenshield, could not think of any solution. He could only lean on the bow of the ship helplessly in a daze.

Just at this moment, someone was finally willing to stand up and bear the heavy burden they needed to face:

"Let me go. If my goal is just to sneak into the Lonely Mountain to find the Argen Gem, then I think the sound of my footsteps won't attract too much attention from the elves and dragons, right?"

Bilbo raised his right hand tremblingly. He was also afraid of the existence of the dragon, but his commitment to the oath still inspired him to choose to stand up and look at the two dragons fighting in the Lonely Mountain.

What an ironic scene. The dwarf expedition team, which was once composed of warriors, now had to rely on a hobbit who had just left home to sneak into the Lonely Mountain to search for traces of the Arken Stone.

What’s even more outrageous is that this hobbit doesn’t even know which of the two dragons is Smaug or what the Arken Stone looks like!

Hearing that Bilbo actually took the initiative to take on such a dangerous burden, Thorin, who was originally anxious, couldn't help but reveal a touch of tenderness in the corners of his eyes, but then he was once again filled with almost crazy hatred.

This hatred is not only directed at the giant dragon that has occupied its hometown for sixty years, but also against this elf army that dares to seek the wealth of the Lonely Mountain!

Looking at the overwhelming elven army on the Gushan Plain, Thorin asked in an incomprehensible tone:

"Bilbo, you once said that you knew the leader of this army. Is this true or false?"    "Oh... yes, originally I was a little doubtful whether this army came from Eregion, but now I see It must be true!"

Facing Thorin's inquiry, the naive Bilbo naturally told everything he knew without any doubt, and his face was also full of joy.

Being able to meet his friends far away from his homeland naturally revealed an unconcealable smile on the face of the kind-hearted hobbit.

However, Bilbo, who was looking at the Lonely Mountain at this moment, did not notice that the expression on Thorin's face, who had his back turned to him, gradually became more and more cold and terrifying:

"That's right. Then when you arrive at the shore, please enter the Lonely Mountain as soon as possible to bring out the Aken Stone. We will wait for you outside Changhu Town. Be careful not to disturb your elf friends."

"Okay Thorin, let me introduce you to each other later."

Although Thorin's request was a bit strange, Bilbo didn't think much about it. He just walked to the bow of the ship and silently listened to the roar of the dragon that seemed to be dying in the distance.

Hearing such a noise, the other dwarves all subconsciously came to the bow of the ship and looked forward to the day when Smaug's doom would come.

Only Balin, the oldest member of the dwarf expedition team, noticed Thorin's abnormality, so he took a look at him and pulled him to the stern of the ship and asked:

"Tell me the truth, Thorin. I feel that your mood seems to have changed a lot recently. I want to know if this is related to the elves from Eregion?"

"Bahrain... I think you should be able to understand my feelings. Now our hometown is being coveted by a group of elves and dwarves traitors who will soon desecrate our wealth and glory. Aren't you angry about this? "

Facing Balin's sincere eyes, Thorin finally chose to confess his heart after thinking for a long time and told him all his plans:

"The giant dragon that once occupied our homeland is now in danger. As long as Bilbo can help us retrieve the Arken Stone, I can order all the dwarves to return to the Lonely Mountain to fight against the elves!"

"Are you prepared to start a war with the elves at this juncture?"

Balin's eyes widened in disbelief. He simply couldn't believe that Thorin would be so obsessed with lonely wealth that he would take the initiative to provoke a war.

Could it be... dragon disease?

You must know that even when Thorin's grandfather Thror was alive, although the relationship with the Woodland Kingdom was very tense, he was never as crazy as he is now to actively antagonize the elves!

Thinking of this, Balin seemed to have seen the blood of countless dwarves being meaninglessly spilled on the battlefield, so he hurriedly stepped forward and spoke to dissuade him:

"Thorin...if you really think so, then you might as well have a good talk with them. Bilbo also said that he is willing to help us introduce them!"

"You are right, we should indeed talk, but that will be after the war is over and I will personally question why they dare to be so greedy for our family's treasures!"

Thorin looked solemnly at the messenger crows flying towards Lonely Mountain Raven Ridge in the sky, and then took out the pen and paper he carried with him and started writing something.

He wants to write a letter to summon all his relatives. The dwarves will never give up the lonely mountain so easily!

Anyone who dares to be greedy for the treasures of the Dulin clan in Lonely Mountain will make them pay with blood, because he will never abandon any gold coin in Lonely Mountain, even half a gold coin!

————Gushan, city gate

"Ah! Ah! Who are you? You dare to lead an army to my kingdom under the mountain!!!"

At this moment, after being bombarded by thousands of cannonballs, Smaug didn't seem to be feeling well, and even the strength to howl was much smaller than before.

Now his dragon body is full of blasted wounds, and countless armor-piercing bullets shaped like thumbtacks are embedded in his scales, constantly tearing apart his muscles and bones!

Even the ground was scattered with a large number of gold coins and gems. The armor that had been integrated with his scales over the years was shaken alive by the violent shelling.

His eyes were fixed on the two-winged elf holding a golden spear in front of him who was getting closer and closer to him. His seemingly non-threatening words contained an imperceptible magic power.

As creatures created specifically for war by Melkor, the dragons of Middle-earth are also good at using magic. For example, they are very good at using words to hypnotize their enemies.

As early as the First Era, the first dragon in history, Glaurung, cast a spell called the 'Lipless Eye' several times, causing countless heroes in Middle-earth to become tragedies. :

For example, it once cast a spell to make a hero's sister lose her memory of her brother, and made the panicked sister appear naked in front of the brother who had just buried her lover, ultimately creating a tragic... orthopedic tragedy.

Although today's Smaug does not possess the powerful hypnotic magic of Glaurung, he can still influence the will of others through words, and at the same time set traps in his own conversations!

But obviously, as the disciple of Glorfindel, Lord of the Golden Flower, whose life span spans three eras, Rohan is naturally very familiar with the knowledge about dragons, so he just sneered and said:

"I know what you are thinking. You are a tiny reptile with no power to resist. Look at your appearance and weak and shriveled body like a lizard with its tail cut off to survive. Are you really not a hybrid dragon with the descendants of a lizard?"

"Ho! Elf, tell me your name!"

"I am the Lord of Eregion, the Ruler of the Dark Spire, the new Master of Naggarond, the Ocean Lord of Anaheim, the Admiral of the Black Ark Fleet, and the Favorite of the Solar Flare!"

Rohan held the golden spear high and walked towards Smaug's badly injured head. Every time he said a title, the light on his body became stronger, until it was enough to illuminate the entire Lonely Mountain.

Smaug secretly accumulated the power to fight back in his body, and he waited patiently for Rohan to speak his name himself, so that he could cast the lidless eye spell to subdue the opponent.

However, it is obvious how could Lohan make such a stupid mistake:

"As for my name, there is no need for you to know it. After all, you are just a maggot, so what qualifications do you have to understand the sun?"

"Roar?!"

Hearing this, Smaug couldn't help but opened his mouth in shock and anger, ready to bite the opponent, but what caught his eye was the dazzling spear thrust by Rohan!

Phew~
