Bringing the MC system to Middle-earth.

Chapter 72 Compact Chapter

The Orc army from Moria set out ahead of time. Gandalf, who escaped from Sauron, was anxiously awaiting support from the White Council. The dwarves headed to the Lonely Mountain ahead of time to begin their operations.

The tempo of the music suddenly quickened.

Just like Levi's footsteps.

"Something's wrong. At this rate, the army will overtake the dragon before it's killed."

The timeline is messed up.

Because of what?
As of now, the only change should be that he brought Gandalf out in advance, so that he was not imprisoned and tortured by Sauron.

This also exposed Sauron's plan in advance - perhaps the dark lord sensed some kind of crisis, so he gave up his hibernation and preparation and chose to march towards Erebor immediately.

On the plain at the edge of the woodland, Levi stood on a high hill and looked at the dark mass of Orcs in front of him. To be honest, the number was indeed a bit too many. It was likely that not only the army from Moria, but even the scattered Orcs in the nearby wilderness had been gathered here.

"That is…"

Levi squinted his eyes and saw a small team merging into the army of Orcs. An Orc who was considered tall among humans ran to Azog, stayed in front of him for a short while, and then joined the army.

If I'm not mistaken, that should be Borg, the son of Azog.

Now this army has two generals, one main and one deputy.

Stroking the sword in his hand, Levi felt itchy and suddenly remembered an ancient rumor.

According to some legends, the holder of Orcrest was Ecthelion, the lord of the well of Gondolin. In the battle of Gondolin's fall, he used Orcrest to cut the throats of thousands of orcs, and then killed two Orc chieftains and three Balrogs in succession, and finally died together with the chief Balrog, Gothmog.

From then on, the Orcs would be terrified whenever they saw the sword and would feel fear at the name of the Lord of the Well. Even now, two eras have passed, and its power is still there.

It has to be said that this Elf Lord of the First Age was really powerful. According to the rumor, he was even better at fighting than Levi now.

Levi felt that he might be able to do what he had done.

"Unfortunately, it's not possible now."

Looking at the huge number of troops, Levi shook his head.

If there were only a few hundred or a thousand of them, he could still give it a try, but an army of tens of thousands of Orcs... that number would definitely surround him to death, leaving him with no place to dig a hole.

If you really want to behead someone, there is a way, but whether it is worth it is another matter. Now is not the time.

Compared with these, what is more important is Gushan.

The earlier you arrive, the more preparations you can make.

Thorin, who was far away in Changhu Town, thought the same.

At night, a group of dwarves sneaked out without telling Bard, and went around to the back window of the armory under the cover of darkness.

"Thorin, isn't it a bad idea for us to do this?" Bilbo whispered.

"This is someone else's arsenal after all..."

"There's no time for that, Master Baggins."

Thorin took a sword from the armory, pulled it out, looked at it, and nodded.

"We are just borrowing some weapons temporarily. Besides, I have inquired and found that the reputation of the mayor and guards of this town is not very good. Taking these things can be regarded as a contribution to the townspeople."

In just a few words, the dwarves had completed their action and each had picked up a weapon that suited them. At this time, the Night Patrol was almost nearby, and Thorin hurriedly asked everyone to leave.

In this way, the group of dwarves successfully got what they wanted, left without saying goodbye before dawn, and headed for Lonely Mountain.

But the next day, someone suffered misfortune because of their actions.

"Bard." A figure who looked somewhat smug stood in front of the archer and called him with his head raised.

Bud looked at him coldly: "Alfred, what's wrong with you?"

"Yes, of course!"

Alfred clapped his hands, and a team of guards appeared behind him.

"A batch of weapons were stolen in the town. I suspect it was done by you or your accomplice. Now please come with me to the prison and tell me the details, Uncle Bud." "Catch him." Alfred gave the order leisurely.

"What? I didn't do any of these things!"

At this time, Bard had no idea what the dwarves had done. In his opinion, all this was just an excuse made up by the mayor to get rid of him.

Sooner or later this day will come.

"Alfred!" Bard clenched his fists and suddenly called out his full name, which scared the deputy of Changhu Town.

"Bain, take care of the family."

After instructing his son, Bud followed the guards away without resistance.

This is an unavoidable man-made disaster, and there is no point in temporarily escaping it.

"Let me see what tricks you have..."

pat.

Levi took out a pickaxe, knocked on the gate of Lonely Mountain, and slipped in directly through the main entrance.

It is hard to imagine that this several-meter-thick stone wall could not stop Smaug. With just a rush, he knocked down the heavy door easily and without any hindrance.

If you want to stop it, you have to build a stone wall that is at least ten meters thick - no, it has to be at least several dozen meters thick.

If everything went right, Smaug should still be napping in the deepest cellar. This was a chance. If he wanted to get out, he had to go through a very long tunnel, break into the meeting hall, and reach the main entrance.

In other words, theoretically, as long as this road can be blocked, Smaug can be trapped. Even if he can't be killed, he can at least be prevented from getting out for a long time.

Thinking of various solutions in his mind, Levi walked forward quietly.

As soon as he entered the door, his attention was deeply attracted by a huge golden dwarf statue. There was so much gold that if it was melted into liquid, it could form a small river. If they were all knocked down and turned into gold bars, they would probably fill several large boxes.

No wonder Smaug was stunned when he first saw this statue.

The wealth collected by the dwarves is truly unparalleled in this world.

Shaking his head, Levi did not move the golden statue. You must know that in this world, if you rashly move something that belongs to someone, it is very likely to cause trouble. Maybe no one can see what Levi did, but the world will silently record it all.

There is a Ru just above your head.

Beyond the conference hall with the huge golden statue is the corridor leading to Smaug's entrenched place. Levi stood at the end of the corridor, looking at the dark and empty interior, and stopped.

I can only say that it is worthy of being a product of the dwarves. Just this passage is at least several thousand meters long.

After sighing for a few seconds, Levi took out a bucket of lava and a bucket of water, stood on tiptoe to the highest point, and poured them down.

The red-glowing magma extended infinitely downwards unscientifically, until it hit the ground and extended a few meters outward before stopping. Then Levi poured a bucket of water on the side of the magma. With a series of "sizzling" sounds, the magma extending downwards all turned into stone.

Just like that, the exit leading to the conference hall at the end of the passage was soon blocked, and a thick stone wall was built up, as if a mountain wall had fallen from the sky.

"not enough."

Levi dug up the floor and buried all the TNT on his body, hiding it with stones.

This is all his inventory.

"I'll help you fix the terrain afterwards..."

After burying the TNT, Levi looked at the corridor again and fell into deep thought.

The bow and arrow trap cannot be made, and even if it can be made, it is of no use. The lava trap is even more useless. This thing is just a bath for the fire dragon, it is a little hot at most, and it probably won't even cause any blood loss.

What other traps can be set?

"Are you done with your little act, human?"

"It should be done." Levi answered subconsciously.

Ok?
A huge feeling of heat came from behind.
