Chapter 138 The Hymn of Humanity Is the Hymn of Courage II
In the town of Hegu.

Morgan and Gandalf Bilbo were walking briskly down the deserted, run-down streets.

There was a constant rumble coming from the east.

Let the three of them continue to speed up and speed up.

"Gandalf, do you think we can win this battle?"

asked Bilbo, who was trying to follow behind Morgan and Gandalf with his big, thick, downy feet.

Startled by Bilbo's question behind him, Gandalf kept walking, but for a moment he didn't know how to answer.

Of course, he was thinking of victory for the dwarf elves and humans.

Just thinking of the terrifying scale of the orc army I just saw.

Gandalf only felt a little lack of confidence in his heart.

But in a large-scale war, having an advantage in numbers does not mean that you will definitely win.

Sometimes morale, determination, and perseverance are the key to the outcome of a war.

And all of this is not lacking for dwarves and elves and even humans.

Therefore, he felt that his side still had a good chance of winning.

However, Gandalf did not answer directly, but turned to Morgan who was leading the way: "What do you think, Morgan?"

"what?"

"Do you think we can win this battle?"

"Of course, our side must win, and we must win."

Morgan spoke without hesitation, then shook his head and continued: "Otherwise, all the consequences will be unimaginable."

Speaking of which, if it weren't for the plot screen in memory.

Morgan must have been skeptical that the war would be won on the side of dwarf elves and humans.

Even if he knew the plot in advance and successfully prevented the advance consumption of the iron hill dwarf and wood elf army through his strong participation.

But there are too many orcs on one side, and the advantage is too great.

Just like before he rushed into River Valley Town with a group of people, the number of half-orcs he saw was already more than the army of elves and the army of iron hill dwarves combined.

Of course, a war does not necessarily mean that if the number of people has an advantage, it will definitely win.

There are too many cases of winning more wars with less, no matter which side the world is on.

What's more, with the endorsement of the memory plot, Morgan still has confidence in this battle.

Hearing Morgan's words, Gandalf fell silent.

Just like he persuaded the Elven King and Dragon Slaying Warrior Bard in the tent of Thranduil Royal Court yesterday.

In fact, he knew this battle better than anyone else, and what would happen if the dwarves and elves and humans were defeated.

But he did his best.

Especially before the confrontation between the wood elves army and the Iron Hills army, Morgan suddenly attacked and captured Ironfoot Dyne, the lord of the Iron Hills, and forcibly prevented the two armies from fighting.

Let Gandalf understand that some things just need to be done with all your strength.

There will always be surprises.

Just like this war with the orcs.

Gandalf believed that there would be surprises too.

Bilbo followed quickly behind them, listening to Morgan's seriousness and Gandalf's silence.

Let him have greater and more worries about this war.

But he is just a small person, and the next thing he can do is probably to help Morgan save more humans in River Valley Town and kill more orcs.

Morgan led the two of them all the way forward through the dilapidated and deserted streets to the central square of the city hall.

at this time.

"Boom."

A loud noise suddenly came from the east of Hegu Town again.

The faces of the three of them remained unchanged. At first, they thought that it was the same as the constant rumbling before, but that the boulders thrown by the orc army's catapults smashed something.

However, the expressions of the three of them all changed immediately after the strange roars and excited screams came.

The three of them were too familiar with this voice, except for those half-orcs outside.

And let the three people in the center of Hegu Town hear the roar of the half-orc so clearly.

It can only explain one thing, the orc army has entered the city.

"No, the orcs may have rushed in."

Morgan's complexion changed drastically, and he immediately said, "Let's go!"

The three immediately accelerated and ran towards the center of the city hall.

Soon, just approaching the center of the city hall, I saw some surviving residents running around in a panic.

At this time, the roar of the half-orc army had almost spread throughout Hegu Town.

It's normal for the slightly timid civilians to be scared and run around for their lives.

Morgan immediately strode towards the central square where the city hall was located.

Sure enough, there were more civilians fleeing for their lives in the square.

Except for the old man who couldn't walk and the children who were at a loss, the rest of the people left behind were running away, either to higher houses, or to a place farther behind the city hall.

Everyone is running away.

Looking at this scene, Morgan was dumbfounded, how the hell did he gather everyone.

You can't let him catch all the escaped people like catching fish.

Gandalf and Bilbo on the side also looked at the scene in front of them with a little dazed expression.

They had just heard Morgan say in front of Bard that they would take care of and arrange for everyone else.

They came here to help Morgan.

By the way, resist the incoming orcs to protect everyone.

And running around like a goddess scattered flowers in front of me.

At this time, only the army of half-orcs arrived.

These helpless elderly women and children have absolutely no choice but to die.

Time was running out. Hearing the strange screams, roars, and screams coming from behind him, Morgan knew that the militiamen in Hegu Town must be fighting the army of orcs.

Before there was any delay, Morgan immediately looked at Gandalf and Bilbo and said, "You two help gather the commoners first, and I'll go find Bard's children first."

Without waiting for the two of them to say anything, Morgan strode towards the corridor of the city hall building immediately after speaking.

Watching Morgan run away at a fast speed.

Bilbo turned to look at Gandalf in a daze and said, "How do we gather them?"

Seeing many human civilians fleeing and quickly disappearing into the houses around the city hall square, Gandalf blew on his beard and said angrily, "How do I know?"

Just when Bilbo and Gandalf were having trouble with how to gather the commoners.

Morgan has already rushed into the long corridor of the city hall. Just as he walked up to the second floor, he saw Bahn running downstairs with his sister Xue Ge and younger sister Tilda holding a long sword.

Seeing Morgan's figure at this time, they immediately cried out happily one by one.

"Uncle Morgan."

"Uncle Morgan."

"Where's Uncle Morgan and my dad?"

Looking at the happy faces of the three siblings, Morgan immediately smiled and said, "Your father can't leave at all now, they need your father."

"You are right to come down, ordinary rooms can't stop those Z monsters."

"Go, keep up, I need you to gather everyone else."

Morgan said, turned around and walked down.

The three brothers and sisters all knew that time was urgent at this time, and no one asked any more questions, and immediately followed.

Morgan quickly walked down the corridor with the three siblings.

In the long and lively corridor, only a few injured elderly people with limited mobility remained.

Morgan stepped forward this time, and only said a few words, the old man immediately recognized Morgan as a dragon slaying warrior, and immediately expressed his obedience to Morgan's arrangement.

With the help of the three brothers and sisters of Barn, several old people quickly stood up and followed Morgan, and continued to walk forward.

On the central square outside the city hall.

Gandalf and Bilbo had already called three or four children who would obey them, and an old man.

This is also because Gandalf, as a wizard, is interested in children who often read adventure story books, so he believes in Gandalf.

Only then did so few civilians gather.

The sounds of fighting, roaring, and screams from afar are getting closer and clearer.

Morgan said in front of Bud that he would arrange for these left-behind women, children and old people.

Those young and middle-aged men are now fighting with the orc army.

These people in the rear are their relatives.

There was no way for Morgan to just leave and hide with so many people around him.

As long as he can save them, he is definitely willing to save them. Anyway, saving ten people is saving, and saving a hundred people is also saving.

So, Morgan immediately stood in the center of the city hall square and began to shout at the people who were running around and the civilians hiding in the houses around the square.

Originally, Morgan thought it would be troublesome and difficult to assemble a group of residents for this mission.

But I didn't expect Morgan to take the initiative to say his name and the identity of the dragon slayer.

A large number of women, children and elderly people hiding in the houses around the central square ran out voluntarily when they heard the sound.

It was only then that Morgan realized how high his status was in the hearts of the residents of River Valley Town.

Knowing this, Morgan immediately made everyone shout.

Soon, when there were no other civilians around.

Nearly a hundred civilians gathered around him.

Morgan didn't intend to wait any longer, because the roars of orcs and various battle sounds kept coming from the two main roads ahead.

Orcs may appear in the central square at any time.

Morgan immediately looked at Bahn beside him and asked, "Do you know of a place nearby that is close enough, with enough space, and enough concealment?"

In the past two days, Bud has been busy with his father Bud, and he knows a lot more about the entire River Valley Town than Morgan.

Seeing Morgan's question, Bahn immediately remembered with a frown, and soon his eyes lit up and he said, "Warehouse!"

"A large warehouse for grain."

Bahn looked at Morgan and said quickly, "It's big enough to accommodate a lot of people, and it's also hidden enough that it's hard to be found as long as the door is closed."

After thinking about it for a while, Morgan made a decision: "Then go to the warehouse and hide first, do you know the way?"

Bahn immediately said, "I know."

Morgan nodded, and immediately turned to speak to the panic-stricken civilians around him.

With his presence, the civilians were quickly persuaded.

Morgan was about to take a group of civilians to the big warehouse that Barn said.

At this moment, the sound of messy footsteps came quickly from a main street along with a strange roar.

Gandalf, who reacted the fastest, changed his face, and immediately turned to look at Morgan in the crowd and shouted: "Morgan!"

Morgan, who was in the noisy crowd, was reminded by Gandalf, and immediately noticed the chaotic footsteps coming from the side of the street.

Morgan's complexion changed suddenly, and he immediately looked at Bahn beside him and said quickly, "It's too late!"

"Quick, Bahn, you lead the way, take them to the warehouse immediately!"

Being assigned a heavy task in a hurry, Bain was about to say something when Morgan immediately shouted, "Don't talk nonsense!"

"Come on!"

"You are already a man, remember to protect Xuege and Tilda."

Morgan's confession to Bahn did not stop.

At this moment, on the main street where the sound of chaotic footsteps was heard, a team of fully armed half-orcs finally appeared.

Behind the half-orc warrior team, followed by a giant armored ogre with a figure over four meters.

Looking at the large number of humans gathered in the hall of the square ahead.

All the half-orcs who saw this scene immediately roared with excitement as if they were beating chicken blood.

Almost without a pause, the half-orc warrior immediately roared with red eyes and rushed towards the crowd in the central square of the city hall.

At this moment, everyone's complexion changed drastically.

Don't wait for people to react.

Morgan pulled out the elven sword from his waist and yelled at Bahn: "Quick!"

"Come on!"

"Take them away!"

After Morgan yelled fiercely, Bahn yelled at the shocked and frightened civilians around him, "Quick, follow Bahn!"

"He will take you to a safe place!"

"Listen to him!"

"Come on!"

After Morgan explained loudly, everyone immediately turned around and charged towards the menacing orc giant army with a long sword in hand.

Behind the square.

The crowd finally reacted.

"Follow me all!"

"This way, this way"

"fast"

Under the leadership of Bahn, nearly a hundred civilians left behind began to walk quickly in one direction to the rear.

In front of Morgan, Gandalf with a staff and long sword and Bilbo with a short sword rushed forward one step ahead.

Looking ahead to his companions facing the ferocious Orc procession.

Morgan decisively inserted the elf sword back into the scabbard around his waist, and quickly removed the longbow on his back.

Stretching out his hand again, three arrows appeared in his hand, and they were quickly placed on the longbow.

The speed of the feet remains unchanged, and the movements of the hands continue.

Morgan stared at the half-orc rushing forward with strange yells, and immediately shot out the longbow that was drawn into a full moon in his hand.

"whoosh whoosh"

The three arrows shot away with a whistling sound of piercing through the air.

In an instant.

Three muffled hums sounded suddenly.

Gandalf and Bilbo, who were leading Morgan, suddenly saw that among the fierce orc team ahead, the three leading half-orcs were almost instantly hit by arrows in the neck gap under the thick helmet, and then fell straight down. .

"bang bang bang"

The three strong half-orcs in the lead suddenly fell to the ground, and the several half-orcs following behind were tripped and fell to the ground immediately before they could react in time.

There was a brief moment of confusion in the orc ranks, and Gandalf and Bilbo rushed forward.

The two greeted each other with staffs, long swords and short swords.

Soon, two heavily armored orcs who were too late to get up were killed by Gandalf and Bilbo together on the spot.

Standing behind the two of them, Morgan almost didn't need to aim. The longbow in his hand was once again drawn into a full moon, and the two arrows shot out.

"Whizzing."

Ahead, Gandalf and Bilbo had just made a move in the face of the two orcs rushing ferociously.

He saw the two ferocious half-orcs in front of him being shot in the head again, and fell down together.
