The legend of Smaug has been circulating throughout the Middle Earth. The giant dragon falling from the sky destroyed the prosperous dwarf kingdom and took the accumulation of dwarfs for thousands of years for himself. Since then, a large number of dwarf blacksmith shops have been added to the Middle Earth world. Even the dwarf prince in Gushan can only make a living by slaughtering iron.

Even though there were some gathering dwarf tribes, the loss of Akanbald made no one able to command all the dwarfs. The glory of this race disappeared overnight.

"How do you know that Smaug is not dead?"

The meeting continued in the meeting hall. Lin Xuan’s statement was questioned by everyone.

"I'm a wizard, and I have my own way."

"I believe what Lin said. The key is how we use this. It is a good idea to make the orcs and Smaug both lose, but how to do it?"

"The method is very simple, but if you want to achieve results, you need to prepare and cooperate in many aspects."

"Tell me, let's see."

"It's very simple. The orc empire is extremely barren. The countless treasures and minerals of Gushan are definitely something that make them salivate. Just make them believe that Smaug is dead, and they will definitely head to Gushan without hesitation. At that time, everything will be pushed by inertia. Smaug will never let go of the orcs peeping at his treasure, and the orcs will not sit and wait for death."

"But it's simple to say that if this news is leaked, I'm afraid that the first person to find the Lone Mountain is not the orcs, but the adventurers from Middle-earth. Those wandering dwarves will also flock to you, and everything will be in chaos at that time."

"It's true, so we need to control the details. Adventurers can have them, and they will get their own wealth. But they must be under our control. And once the news comes out, the wandering dwarves will definitely take action. This is destined to be a super plan, and we need allies, especially a cooperative dwarves tribe."

"I can understand what you are talking about. Although it sounds a bit whimsical, it still has some feasibility. But I still don't understand why we have to participate in this matter so much. Where is our interests."

"Do you know how much wealth Gushan has?"

"Forehead."

"Enough to buy three Gondors. So, do you think we won't get any benefits?"

"What about allies? We need cooperation from multiple aspects to make the orcs believe that Smaug no longer exists. They are not smart enough, but they are definitely not fools. On the contrary, the leader of this generation, Asog, is definitely a hero."

"We have always been in control of the whereabouts of Thorin Oak Shield. Maybe we can try to cooperate with him." One of the ministers suggested.

"A prince in exile has blood and identity. What qualifications do you have to talk about cooperation with us? I think the Hill Dwarf tribe is more suitable."

"The hill dwarf is just a branch of the royal family. Thorin is the heir to the orthodox throne."

"There is a blacksmith shop in Thorin, and the hill dwarves have a heavy infantry legion. Which one do you think has the capital to cooperate?"

"The last question is how powerful Smaug is. You must know that it destroyed the entire dwarf empire with its own strength. How much damage can orcs cause to it? So even if the two sides really start a war, we may not be able to get a bargain."

"Smaug is already very old, otherwise why do you think it has been silent for so many years? It just relies on sleep to extend its lifespan as much as possible. We don't need orcs to kill Smaug, we just need to consume its power."

"And what? Even the tired Smaug is not something we can handle."

"You don't need you, of course I will deal with Smaug." Lin Xuan said this sentence lightly, shocking everyone at the entire meeting to silence.

The princes of the Dwarfs of Thorin were driven out of Gushan by the dragon Smaug decades ago. From then on, Solin could only wander in Middle-earth and make a living by scrambling iron. But in Solin's heart, he never gave up on the idea of ​​regaining his country. Until one day, Gandalf came to his blacksmith shop, and Solin's obsession could no longer be suppressed. He wanted to return to Gushan, kill Smaug, take back his country, and take back his throne. Solin summoned more than a dozen old subordinates who were loyal to him, and prepared to kill back to Gushan and fulfill his long-cherished wish.

"Lin, I'm very curious. Who are you and what do you want to get? Don't talk about things like status and glory. It's easy to get those things with your power. I feel what you are planning, so I don't think you need to know what it is?" After the meeting, Denehao had a separate meeting with Lin Xuan. The Regent, Denehao keenly noticed Lin Xuan's abnormality.

"The war is coming. I just hope that humans can be prepared."

"Even if the pale orcs are strong, they will never be able to fight here for a while. Besides, even if they really fight, Gondor's cavalry will crush them as soon as possible." Denehao was quite confident in the military power of his country.

"I'm not talking about orcs."

"What is that? Is Sauron's return? I received relevant news. But the situation is far from as serious as you said. He can't get through in a short period of time."

"Do you really think Sauron is the biggest threat? Do you know what Sauron is?"

"I have read some classics. It is said that Sauron was a Maya, and he lived from the First Age to the present Maya. He has powerful magic power."

"Then the question is, what about the other Maiya? Why didn't they stop Sauron and the twelve Lords? What are they doing?"

"Well, two epochs have passed. Perhaps they have fallen. And it is estimated that the Lord God cannot interfere with human things and other restrictions."

"That's just the saying in the story. You must know that Sauron's problem arose because of them, but in the end all the consequences fell on our Middle-earth life. All Maiya fell unknowingly, but Maiya, who had malicious intentions towards humans, was always alive? He even suffered several exiles and even fatal blows, but he could always survive and wait for an opportunity to make a comeback?"

"What do you want to say?" Denehao's tone began to become serious. He felt that Lin Xuan seemed to be hinting at something dangerous.

"I'm going to say all that. As the king of Gondor, you have great resources. Maybe you can try to check out the entire history of Sauron. Or the history of all the Maiya, the Lord God, and take a closer look."
