At this point, Smaug in rage flew to Lake-town upon the Long Lake in an attempt to destroy it.This attempt failed however as Smaug was shot down by Bard, a man of Lake-town.Just before they were about fight, Gandalf arrived with a warning that the goblins of the Misty Mountains and their Warg allies sought to destroy them to avenge the death of the Goblin King and claim the treasure.This then became the Battle of the Five Armies with the Dwarves, the elves and the Men joining forces against the Orcs.
When the battle was over, the dwarves restored their kingdom under the Lonely Mountain and men began to settle once more in Dale, with Bard, the man who slew the dragon, becoming their first king. Some argue that he saw the upcoming war, and did this in a successful attempt to create one more front for Sauron. Dain II Ironfoot, the Dwarven King, agreed to pay the one-fourteenth share of the treasure as promised by Thorin. Bard contributed gold for the aid of Laketown, and although the Master of Laketown absconded with much of it, Laketown was rebuilt and its people became prosperous. Bard maintains good relations with the Dwarves of the Lonely Mountain and trade flows freely up and down the River Running. People came, and still are coming, to settle in Dale from miles around and the land that had been withered by Smaug became bountiful once more. The weapons of Dale are made by the nearby Dwarves, ensuring only the best quality. The bowmen of Dale are known for their skill, and their volleys support the infantry of Dale as they fight to defend their kingdom from the various forces that oppose them mainly Rhn.
