"Oh oh oh oh..."
The half-orc warg cavalry screamed excitedly and rushed towards the expedition team.
The slender and tall Gundaba Warg ran extremely fast on the continuous bare hills.
In just a short period of time, the distance between him and everyone has become much closer.
"Hurry up!"
Gandalf turned and shouted as he ran.
There is still a long way to go before the stone forest. If the orc troops catch up, the consequences will be disastrous.
"Hurry, faster!"
The orc army was approaching rapidly, and Thorin Oakenshield immediately followed suit.
At this time, you can see the difference in everyone's speed and endurance.
There was a fierce battle in the forest not long ago.
What followed was nearly an hour of high-intensity running.
Although none of the members of the expedition team were left behind, the gap in physical strength and endurance was still easily distinguishable.
At the front of the team at this time were Gandalf and Morgan.
It is understandable that Morgan is fast. After all, he is young and has experienced system strengthening before. LV2 level agility is no joke.
But when it comes to physical strength, although Morgan can be ranked at the forefront of the expedition team, he is by no means the best.
Thorin Oakenshield and the dwarf Dwalin, the two most outstanding dwarves in terms of strength, may not be as fast as Morgan, but when it comes to physical strength, they are stronger than Morgan.
Of course, as long as Morgan continues to strengthen his physique, it is only a simple matter to surpass these two.
It's understandable that Morgan is fast.
But Gandalf looked a lot older, and his beard and hair were all white, yet he could still run so fast, and he looked a bit calm and relaxed while running wildly along the way.
This left everyone a little confused.
But it's not surprising when you think about the abilities of wizards.
Only behind Gandalf Morgan were the two dwarf brothers Kili and Fili, and the younger ones like Bilbo.
As for the other members, they are pretty much the same at this point.
Bombur, the largest dwarf, and Bofur, who usually talked a lot, ran at the back.
Although Thorin Oakenshield also seemed to be running relatively far back at this time.
But looking at the other person's calm expression and his voice constantly urging the other dwarves, you knew he meant it.
"Quickly..."
Behind them followed a large group of ferocious orc troops. The members of the expedition team really used all their strength to run wildly.
Everyone ran away with red faces and panting.
It's just that the speed of the group was not able to outrun the warg.
When everyone is getting closer and closer to the vast stone forest ahead, they are about to approach the stone forest.
The leading scout cavalry among the orcs finally caught up.
Thorin Oakenshield looked at the Warg Cavalry who was approaching quickly from behind and was about to chase him up. He looked anxious and could only shout: "Morgan, Kili!"
Morgan, who was running wildly, had already reached for the quiver on his back when he heard Thorin Oakenshield's voice.
The moment he turned around, he pulled out two arrows and put them on the long bow.
"Whizzing..."
Two arrows shot quickly behind him.
The next second.
An arrow hit the ugly head of the orc who was running at the front and screaming the most ferociously.
Another arrow hit the head of the ferocious warg that was shot in the crotch of the orc.
In an instant, the leading wolf and orc fell to the ground.
The wargs following closely behind immediately rolled into a ball.
At this time, Kili's arrows also arrived.
He shot an Orc scout sitting on a warg who had dodged in time and fell to the ground.
He was blocked by several arrows from Morgan and Qili.
The half-orc and warg troops that had been driven up were immediately pulled back some distance.
This delay.
The expedition team finally rushed into the vast stone forest ahead as they wished.
There are stones of all sizes and shapes, big and small, round, square, triangular and even deformed.
Gandalf rushed into the stone forest without saying a word, and showed no intention of slowing down or stopping.
All the members of the expedition team had no choice but to continue running behind them.
"quick!"
"Faster!"
Thorin Oakenshield, who was behind the team, kept looking back, urging everyone to speed up.
Rushing into the stone forest can only temporarily delay the orc troops from catching up.
But that doesn't mean the group is that safe.
Although it was not clear what Thorin Oakenshield had planned for Gandalf, nor was it clear how he would escape the Orcs' pursuit this time.
This made Thorin Oakenshield, who was in control of most things most of the time, a little uncomfortable.
But based on Gandalf's performance along the way.
He believed in Gandalf, and he could only trust Gandalf.
"quick!"
"This way!"
Gandalf led the way flexibly, constantly leading everyone through the stone forest.
This stone forest is very vast, and the expedition team was led by Gandalf to turn left and right.
The orcs who were following behind were slightly behind and could not find the expedition team.
The direction of pursuit can only be determined by the scent smelled by the warg's sensitive nose and the movement heard.
Not being able to see the orcs behind them, the urgency in the members' hearts relaxed a little.
But Gandalf was still leading everyone around the stone forest.
Others still only thought that this was Gandalf leading everyone to get rid of the pursuit of the orcs behind him.
But only Morgan felt that Gandalf might be lost.
Because he noticed that Gandalf was clearly staring at the surrounding stones carefully every time he turned a corner.
Morgan knew that the other party was trying to figure out the direction.
But when Gandalf began to frown continuously, wrinkles rolled up on his old face, and eagerness flashed in his eyes.
Only then did Morgan realize that he was probably lost.
However, Gandalf's acting was excellent, except for Morgan, who was walking side by side and paying attention to him, and noticed something strange.
The dwarves noticed nothing unusual.
Fortunately, the speed of the Orc troops slowed down significantly after entering the stone forest.
This stone forest is also big enough. Gandalf led everyone to twists and turns, and the orc army couldn't catch up for a while.
However, the orcs have wargs. If Gandalf cannot find a way out in time, it will be a matter of time before he is caught up.
Morgan knew what Gandalf was planning.
But there was no way he could tell.
What's more, the vast stone forest in front of me is much different from the hills with few boulders in the plot in my memory.
There was nothing Morgan could do to help.
The expedition team continued to follow Gandalf in circles in the stone forest.
The howls of the wargs behind him were getting closer and closer.
Maybe they took the right path, maybe the expedition team was lucky, or maybe it was fate.
After turning a normal corner, Gandalf finally saw a small rock mountain made up of three huge rocks several meters high.
Gandalf's eyes widened and he immediately rushed forward, quickly scanning the surroundings.
I finally decided that this is what I was looking for.
"quick!"
"here!"
Gandalf pointed at a small but deep and dark cave gap in the boulder and shouted to everyone.
Morgan did not enter immediately, but stood beside Gandalf with a long bow and an arrow in a defensive posture.
The dwarves trusted Gandalf very much and slid in one after another along the stone cave without any hesitation.
When the dwarf Kili followed Thorin Oakenshield into the cave.
Morgan was about to go in.
Suddenly, there was a deafening sound of horse hooves outside.
Orcs' mounts are not horses.
Morgan thought of something and was about to speak out when he was pushed by Gandalf behind him: "Get in quickly!"
Immediately, he slipped into the dark cave.
