Ardent fans of JRR Tolkien's The Hobbit, recreated the epic fight sequence that happens after the Thirteen Dwarves of Erbor refuse to share the gold captured from the dragon Smaug, which is also known as 'The Battle of the Five Armies' in the book.
Although there was no Smaug or real Orcs, this reenactment was a testament to the ardent fans of Tolkien's work.
