Chapter 1082 1064. Terrible Fate

The mayor is not stupid, but his weak will gives Lan En's [Axi Seal] an opportunity to take advantage of him.

He cares too much about his gold, and even counts it in the treasury twice when he has nothing to do.

This care was keenly noticed by Lan En, and then amplified with [Axi Seal].

The more he cares about his gold, the more he cares about and fears the news that the orcs are coming to rob. This fear overwhelms his reason.

Anyway, even if the orcs don't come, it will only make the guards under his command work in vain.

He doesn't care about people, not even his own people, he only cares about gold.

Alfred is not stupid, but his power comes from the mayor, and he knows it very well.

So no matter who he disobeys, he will never disobey the mayor. Whatever the mayor asks him to do, he will definitely do it without saying a word even if he thinks it is ridiculous.

Lan En did not use the [Axi Seal] to distort the mayor's will. Although his will was very weak, the [Axi Seal] itself was not strong either.

Even for someone like the mayor, the rude use of the seal could only control him for more than ten minutes, and he would wake up after that.

But strengthening his existing paranoia and emotions was almost a natural result.

So Bard stared blankly. The mayor, who originally liked to make trouble for him the most and would definitely send him to prison if he had the chance, now looked at him with a pair of eyes and was completely indifferent.

He just looked worried, worried about the orcs who might come, and his gold.

"By the way, the respected mayor of Changhu Town."

Lan En still spoke in a calm and slightly cold tone. It gave people a sense of indifference that he was just going through the process.

"If you think your guards are not strong enough, I saw a small dwarf caravan passing by the town when I came here. They all look skilled with swords and have been warriors."

"It's just that they don't have much equipment. If you can give them some weapons, I think they will be willing to help when facing orcs. After all, everyone knows that those orcs love killing more than enjoying food."

"Dwarves? There are dwarves in my town?"

The mayor asked in confusion while pacing anxiously, but then he didn't care.

"No, it's not important. It's very good! Each dwarf warrior can fight ten people at once! The orcs have a feud with them. They will definitely work hard when the orcs come! With them, my gold will be safer!"

"Yes! Alfred! Go to the armory to get some weapons, find those dwarves, and tell them that they have been temporarily recruited! For this great town, it's time for the passing caravans to fight bravely!"

Looking at the mayor who was nervous about the gold and paced back and forth, and Alfred who was being directed by the mayor.

Lan En said nothing more and turned to lead Bard away.

It took only a few minutes for Lan En and Bard to appear outside the mayor's mansion again.

Bard looked at Lan En with a little hurried steps as if he had seen a ghost.

Only after walking away did he speak with a little fear: "You know magic? You controlled the mayor's brain?"

"Calm down, Bard. That is far from being called 'controlling the brain'. Otherwise, why do you think I walked so fast?"

Until they turned a corner and crossed a waterway on the boat, Lan En turned his head and said to Bard.

"I just strengthened the guy's obsession and fear. The effect can only last for a few hours at most. Although his will is not firm, it is not that easy to control his mind. I am not good at this at all."

Although if it is an army, it would be easier to control the overall emotions of the other party.

Lan En thought to himself while explaining to Bard.

Bard seemed to accept this idea. When he looked at Lan En, he was no longer afraid.

The sound of the bell from the mayor's mansion came from behind them, and the townspeople looked in that direction in surprise.

At the same time, the guards in the town also held their helmets and hurriedly gathered in the direction of the mansion.

It seems that the mayor has begun to gather people.

Although life in Long Lake Town was difficult because of the dragon, it was also far away from war.

There were less than 50 guards in the town, just the right number to deal with ordinary crimes and maintain law and order.

At this time, they all stepped on the wooden floor of the town and gathered towards the bell.

A noise came from there, and many townspeople also went to join in the fun, and brought rumors and news.

They said that the mayor had gone mad and thought that someone coveted his treasure, so they asked for increased vigilance.

The guards had to string their bows and cross their swords to prepare for battle and deal with invaders.

When the two returned to Bard's house amid the private discussions of the townspeople, the thirteen dwarves and hobbits had been looking forward to it for a long time.

"How is it?"

Thorin asked with expectation.

"I got your equipment, you can go outside to pick it up later."

Lan En's crisp words made the dwarves jump up happily.

"Great! I knew Lan En could do it!"

Fili shouted happily, and at the same time jumped up and patted Lan En's arm.

He usually had a bunch of knives hidden everywhere on his body, but now after drifting down the river, there was nothing left and he no longer felt safe.

"But don't be too happy, friends."

Lan En calmed down the dwarves, who were cheerful and cheerful by nature.

"Needless to say, you all know that the guards in this town alone are like bread and ham in front of those ferocious orcs. There is no way they can stop the orcs, not to mention that the orcs will definitely kill innocent people in the town."

The witcher glanced around and finally stopped at Thorin.

"The main target of the orcs is you, so I think as long as you leave Changhu Town in front of those orcs, they have no reason to linger here. After all, you have the highest priority."

After previous conversations and revelations, Thorin and Balin already know why the orcs bite them so hard.

So I can understand what Lan En said.

Compared with the importance of preventing the re-emergence of a king under the mountain in Lonely Mountain, the orcs' nature of killing and destruction is simply not worth mentioning.

Even if the orcs broke into Changhu Town and were too happy to kill them and didn't want to leave, the leading orcs would force them to leave as long as their brains hadn't turned to mush.

"I agree."

Bahrain, who had dried his white beard, was the first to express his position.

"The day of Turin is imminent. The sooner we set off, the better, otherwise we will not be able to make it in time! Let the orcs see us. They also know where we are going."

"And we can take a boat and walk in a straight line from the lake to the lonely mountain. Even if they ride wargs, they have to walk in an arc along the lake. They can't catch up with us in the distance!"

Thorin also nodded in agreement, and he was willing to do so if it could prevent the residents of Lake Town from being harmed too much because of his team.

Immediately, Thorin began to greet his expedition members.

"Move, guys! Come with me outside and get ready to receive the equipment!"

Thorin seemed quite impatient and was about to go to the mayor's mansion while greeting people.

Time is pressing now, and he is willing to be even one minute earlier.

Seeing that things had been sorted out by Lan En, the dwarves were happy and relaxed a little.

"It's great. Having a wizard here makes it much easier than using your own brain."

Bofur said with a smile while patting Fluffy Ball's shoulder familiarly.

"But the boss is not a wizard, meow."

The kitten said while scratching the whiskers on his face, but Bofur didn't care at all.

"He hangs out with Gandalf the Gray and Radagast the Brown. What else can he be if he's not a wizard? It doesn't matter! Haha!"

Balin also supported his old waist and relaxedly sat down on the barrel by the window again.

But Bard, who was collecting the wet clothes of the dwarves with three children next to him, was stunned after hearing the conversation between Lan En and the dwarves, as if he had thought of something.

"Did you just say Gushan? Are they going to Gushan?"

Bud approached Lan En and asked in a low voice with an eager expression.

"Yes, you heard it just now."

Lan nodded.

"What, what did you remember? Can you tell me? A lot of information is valuable now."

"No, no. I have to confirm!" Bard murmured, patting Lan En's arm at the same time. "Please help me watch the children and tell them not to go out, and the dwarfs don't go out either! I'll be back right away! Right now!"

Before Lan En could react, Bud went out like a gust of wind.

The forceful closing of the door even shook a piece of ash from the beams, which fell on the nose of Balin who was sitting at the window, causing him to sneeze.

"Ah! Oh, what's wrong with him? Is he so angry?"

The white-bearded old dwarf carefully patted his beautiful beard that hung down to his chest and muttered.

Lan En walked to Balin and found a bench to sit on: "I don't know, he said he wanted to confirm something."

"The atmosphere in this town is very tense now. Bard has prestige among the people and is monitored by the mayor. Maybe it is a very important thing."

Balin sighed: "Ever since this area was poisoned by the evil dragon, life has been difficult for everyone."

"So I want to ask you again, Balin." Lann leaned forward and looked at the old dwarf seriously. "You really don't want to stop here? If you really enter Gushan, even if the evil dragon happens to get out."

"Even if Smaug happens to be out, we will face an orc offensive when we retake the Lonely Mountain."

Balin smiled in relief and said to Lan En.

"No matter what, our restoration expedition will face a terrible fate. Right?"

With that said, Bahrain started another seemingly unrelated topic.

"Did you know, Lan En? Look out the window, and besides the lonely mountain, you can also see a dwarf wind crossbow."

"That's it."

Balin pointed outwards. It was a huge crossbow standing on the top of a wooden tower, with four arms spread out in four directions.
