Bringing the MC system to Middle-earth

"You burrowing rat..."

Not knowing the meaning of the incomprehensible sound, Smaug was even more angry that this human being could actually slip away from under his nose.

And just now, he was beaten and even broke his defense. It was a great shame and humiliation!

"Come back!"

The evil dragon roared, its belly swollen red again, and the accumulated dragon breath was about to spray out along the hole -

Boom!

There was an explosion, and a large crater several meters wide was blown out of the floor. Then a large amount of TNT flew out of the ground due to the force of the impact and scattered in all directions.

Some exploded on the spot, causing Smaug to raise his claws and jump around. Some flew to the dome and blew up the rocks above. The dragon's head was unable to be lifted up. Some were more fierce and flew directly to Smaug and exploded. It was so dizzy from the shock that it moved to the left, then to the right, unable to maintain its balance at all.

"Heh-ah-ah-!!"

The ubiquitous violent explosions and falling stones forced Smaug to shrink up, retract the membranes on his wings, and lie down on the spot with his head curled up to defend with all his strength.

Levi was in the conference hall, listening attentively to what was happening behind the wall.

The explosion didn't last long. After all, Levi's total savings only amounted to a few sets of TNT, which seemed like a lot in his backpack. In fact, it couldn't even be spread on the floor if it was put down, so it was all blown up in a short time.

However, the destructive power is not small.

"Is it done?"

Levi quietly slipped back along the dug hole, peeking out half of his head to look around.

All you can see are large pits and broken walls and rubble that have been blown down. There are also some marks on the left and right walls that have been hit by giant objects.

"Where's the dragon?"

After breaking open a piece of gravel, Levi walked in, took out a torch and lit it forward. In the silence, a hill made of gravel appeared in front of him. I don't know if it was an illusion, but the hill was actually undulating. Tiny, but steady.

Some bad premonition occurred, and Levi took a few steps back until he reached the entrance of the cave.

Wow——

"Ahhhh-Revenge, revenge!!"

"I want revenge!!!"

Suddenly, the stones piled on the ground were arched by huge objects and flew in all directions. Smaug stretched out his huge body from among them and roared.

"Death, all die! Despicable humans, I will bring death to you!!"

Boom!

The furious dragon slammed into the wall ferociously, and the huge impact shook the rock, causing Levi on the other side of the wall to sway and almost lose his balance.

Boom!

Boom!

The giant dragon cursed and struck angrily, but no matter how it rushed forward, the wall was just there, standing still, always blocking its way.

"How is that possible!"

How thick is this wall?

Smaug suddenly stopped, his eyes widening.

Something's wrong, it doesn't look like a temporary barrier.

If it were just a wall a few meters thick, it would have collapsed at the first impact, not to mention hitting it so many times.

This wall doesn't look like a wall, but like a mountain falling from the sky across here.

"Don't try too hard, you can't hit it."

At the entrance of the small two-meter-high cave, Smaug saw the figure that made him feel extremely angry. He immediately exhaled dragon breath and passed away, not wanting to listen to the man at all.

However, when the dragon's breath passed by, the figure was still there, looking quite comfortable, as if it was just a breeze.

Crunch.

The big mouth opened unexpectedly and lurched forward. Levi quickly dodged and dodged, and knocked the dragon's head aside with a backhand sword, which made Smaug's head buzz.

Big momentum, little harm.

The explosion just now didn't even damage Smaug's dragon scales. It looked powerful, but in fact the total damage was only over a hundred.

For a dragon of Smaug's size and hardness, the damage caused by the TNT explosion may be similar to that of firecrackers. In fact, let alone Smaug, even Levi himself barely lost any health when he resisted TNT as long as he was not in the center of the explosion.

Eighteen points of damage was hit on its head and only two drops of blood were deducted. Hundreds of continuous explosions of dozens of damage were not even able to blow off a single scale. This armor value is definitely higher than that of nether alloy. If the dragon scales can be deducted It would definitely make a strong set of armor.

Just as he was greedy for the material on Smaug, Levi also had a little headache.

It seems that it can't be defeated without some technology or hard work.

But if technology can’t really be achieved for the time being, then we’ll have to do hard work.

"You can't trap my, despicable human - 'Steve'."

"The Dark Lord's army has set off. They will help me out of trouble. Then it will be the end of all of you."

"I have memorized your scent. You can't escape. I will hunt you down forever, forever..."

Boom!

The mountain shook again.

Far away in the narrow prison in Long Lake Town, Bud suddenly woke up and looked out through the bars.

"What sound?"

People were still coming and going and making noises in the town, but no one noticed the vibration coming from far away, or even if a few sensitive people noticed it, they didn't care.

We have lived here for so many years, and everyone is doing well, so what big surprise could there be?

Bang, bang, bang.

Bud shook the sturdy door, feeling anxious.

"Did you hear that?"

On the secret path behind the solitary mountain, the dwarves suddenly stopped.

"I heard it, it was a sound coming from deep in the mountain..." Balin put his ear against the rock.

The next moment.

Boom!

Balin closed his eyes and moved his head away.

"That almost deafened my ears just now."

Boom!

The mountain shook again, and small stones slid down.

"What happened?"

"The dragon, it must be the dragon, it's awake!"

"What's going on inside?"

"Did we come here in vain..."

The dwarves were a little panicked. Smaug woke up, so how could the plan go on?

"Quiet!"

Thorin shouted, forcing everyone to calm down. In fact, he was the most panicked now, but as a leader, the emotion he could not show the most was frustration.

Even if he was blindfolded, he had to pretend to be confident.

"We still have time. There is no need to draw conclusions so early. We have experienced so much and walked for so long. Are we going to retreat now without even opening the door?"

"Just because we are afraid of that damn dragon?!"

"We are the sons of Durin. Our goal is to recapture Erebor and revive our homeland - we will never give up until we achieve our goal!"

"We have never doubted you, Thorin."

Ballin was the first to stand up, followed by the dwarves with bright eyes.

"We will follow you to the death."

"But what happened inside?"

"We can't rush forward without even understanding the situation."

Faced with everyone's suggestions, Thorin closed his eyes, thought for a while, and took a deep breath.

"Kili, I'll give you the key and the map. You wait here. I'll leave for a while. If everything goes well, I'll be back before Durin's Day."

Thorin stuffed the things to Kili, turned around and ran to the foot of the mountain.

"Where are you going?"

Kili asked blankly with the key in his hand.

"Go to the main gate, the sound came from there."

"I'll find out what happened."

Thorin gripped the sword at his waist and walked to the foot of the mountain.

This dwarf, who only had the title of king but never sat on the throne, has been tortured to the point of madness by the obsession of regaining his homeland. He finally has some hope. If he fails, it will be worse than death.

Bilbo touched the ring in his pocket and shouted, "Thorin, I can--"

"Thorin, we will go with you."

Holding Bilbo's shoulders, a group of dwarves stepped forward and protected him behind them.

"We are just like you, Thorin. We will only choose one of success and death in battle."
