In fact, as the main servants of Morgoth, Orcs do not hate fire as much as they fear the sun.
However, the half-orcs who fought with Allen today had different feelings in their hearts. The smell of meat with a special smell in the air and the shrill cries of their fellow tribesmen stimulated their nerves all the time.
Those relatively smart orcs understood the origin of all this based on the strange behavior of humans before and the tendency of the flames to spread.
In particular, some of the orcs who had been doused with fire oil had begun to push away their fellow humans in front of them like crazy and run towards the door of the cave in order to avoid their comrades who had been set on fire.
They had only one goal in mind, which was to stay away from the flames that were chasing them behind them, and to escape the fate of being burned to death.
This crazy escape behavior was like a plague, infecting many orcs in an instant.
They were also choked by fear. They moved their steps one after another and rushed forward following the fleeing orcs. Especially when they found that the human soldiers had actively given way to the entrance of the cave, the orcs ran faster.
The passage that still revealed a trace of darkness in the firelight seemed to have become the only way for the orcs to escape. They were so anxious for their lives that they didn't even have time to consider why humans would get out of the way.
Most of the orcs no longer cared about the human soldiers at this time. The shrill screams of their fellow humans behind them were like the Nazgûl urging them to die, driving them towards the outside of the cave.
The nearly five-meter-wide passage was enough for the half-orcs who were not set on fire to run out of the purgatory-like main entrance in a short period of time.
In the cave, apart from humans and horses, there were only dozens of burning corpses and hundreds of torches roaring in pain.
Allen raised his weapon and hacked to death several orcs. Looking at the orcs fleeing quickly, he was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself: "Not to mention, these orcs are not very good at other things."
, the ability to escape is really top-notch, much better than other races."
But thinking about it, this situation also means that Allen's temporary plan was successful, and now he needs to make the next step immediately.
Allen pointed at the orcs who were still rolling around and said to the soldiers: "Knights, follow me. The remaining people will beware of those who are still burning and don't let them get close to the horses."
After speaking, Allen took the Swadia Knight and ran quickly to catch up with the Orcs who had just rushed out, and began to make preparations in the passage. He needed to guard against the Orcs turning back and rushing back.
Gandalf, who had been killing orcs on the front line, did not follow Allen's footsteps. He looked around to confirm whether there was any danger here.
After getting a negative answer, the gray-robed wizard clenched the weapon in his hand and walked towards the red-lit passage. He wanted to track down the orcs who escaped first.
Gandalf has been helping the humans in Middle-earth resist the rise of dark forces all this time, and his patience is still good. It has been almost two thousand years since he came to Middle-earth, and the opportunity to end Sauron has never appeared.
Not only that, the power of humans and elves is getting worse every year.
The Kingdom of Arnor was destroyed, Gondor lost its king, Rivendell was preparing to cross westward, Lothlórien and the Woodland Kingdom were barely able to protect themselves, and the Lonely Mountain had just regained its vitality.
These forces representing light made Gandalf feel that his road home was full of thorns. Although he never gave up hope, the light of hope was really small.
However, the situation now has undergone some changes. The human kingdom of Rovanion, which died in the past, has risen again under the leadership of Allen.
Moreover, the noble character displayed by this human leader made this light of hope grow a lot.
Gandalf felt that as long as Allen could maintain this momentum of rise, Rovanian would soon become a human force comparable to Rohan and even Gondor.
At that time, the power of the light forces will finally be able to overcome the darkness. After the Dark Lord is defeated, Gandalf can go home.
With this kind of expectation, Gandalf casually hacked to death a few guys who were blocking his way, and rushed into the red-lit passage without hesitation.
Bilbo Baggins came out from nowhere. In the previous battle, he used large pieces of gravel to hit several ugly enemies hard, but once he entered the melee fight,
, he used the hobbit's talent to hide behind the big race.
And at a critical moment, he used the ring to save several horsemen who were knocked down by orcs. But for some reason, after Bilbo Baggins put on the ring at this time, he felt an indescribable feeling all over his body.
It was as if the surrounding air was squeezing his body slightly.
This unusual feeling was something Bilbo Baggins had never experienced even after being invisible for several days and nights in the Woodland Kingdom. However, he did not pay too much attention to it. Among the several large people he saved, he was no longer invisible.
Yes, this feeling only lasts for a very short time.
At this time, he was checking the big people lying on the ground one by one. If they were still breathing, he would try to bandage them. The kind-hearted Bilbo Baggins thought that the battle was over anyway and he could save anyone.
All good.
Outside the cave, it was even more lively at this time. Hermione, who had received Allen's order, after arranging the wounded, went directly to the panting Bandak.
After a quick discussion, the two arranged for eight hundred soldiers to hide in the forest around the cave to prepare a surprise for the enemy.

The orcs, who only cared about escaping for their lives, rushed out of the cave and fled into the forest. They rushed madly in panic and plunged into the trap that Bandak had set for them.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The spearman hiding behind the tree looked at the orcs who entered his attack range and quickly thrust out the elf spear in his hand. After years of continuous training, he
Their stabbing attacks are extremely precise.
The half-orc, who was caught off guard, could not dodge such an attack at all, and lay down on the ground amidst the wails before death.
Due to the accumulated hatred over time, the spearman did not pay any attention to the wailing of the orcs. Instead, he accelerated his attack speed amidst the wailing and kept harvesting the lives of these orcs.
For the orcs who were still alive, they also took timely remedial measures and stabbed the enemy's throat with a gun, ending their sinful life.
For a moment, the sky above the forest was filled with the screams of the orcs before they died. The screams continued and finally alerted the other orcs.
Most of the orcs finally came to their senses and knew that running out of the cave did not mean they would survive.
They stopped at the door of the cave, hesitant and unsure of what to do next.
"The infantry march forward in formation, the archers shoot!
"
Bandak looked at the orcs staying outside the cave and knew that they had seen through the trap.
However, he would not let them go. Since the enemy would not come to die, he would let the archers send them to death.
The archers who received the order shot a shower of arrows from the forest toward the cave door, harvesting the lives of the orcs again.
Facing the continuous attacks from humans, some orcs have fallen into collapse.
At this desperate moment, they still chose to resist in the end, raised their short weapons, roared loudly, and rushed towards the spearmen who lined up from the forest.
Their charge was of course in vain, and they were soon killed by intensive spear attacks.
However, some of the orcs who were relatively clever and relatively strong-willed, under such a blow, actually started to climb up along the cave wall, hoping to climb up to the higher forest and find a way out.
But they were soon targeted by the Twilight Knights with accurate shooting skills, and were nailed to the mountain wall one by one.
The orcs who were still in the passage knew that there was no way out outside, but at this time the howling sounds in the cave became lower and lower, and they quietly turned around to return to the cave.
They have no intention of fighting anymore, and now they only hope to enter the depths of the misty mountains from the gate of Orc Town and hide in the dark tunnels.
However, when these orcs turned around, they saw dozens of human warriors blocking the passage.
Allen gently threw the torch in his hand onto the firewood pile soaked in kerosene, and then looked indifferently at the orcs who were already dead in the light of the fire, without a trace of pity in his eyes.
No matter how these orcs were bred, or whether they were born evil, it didn't matter. Allen would not let them live, and it was even impossible to keep them as slaves.
These half-orcs are not Smeagol who was poisoned by the Lord of the Rings. If Gollum, who is freed from the control of the Lord of the Rings, has any possibility of returning to normal, then these half-orcs who were cultivated by Morgoth are
Born to obey the orders of the Dark Lord.
There is no possibility for them to get better. At least Allen doesn't know how to save these orcs. Keeping them will only become a time bomb that constantly endangers the safety of the people in the territory.
Allen believes that only dead orcs are good orcs.
Soon, the few remaining orcs died in despair under the stabs of the elven spears. So far, Allen's plan has been considered a success.
Allen was also thinking about the results of this battle.
At least 80% of the thousands of Orcs near the high pass died in this battle. The remaining two hundred probably ran in from the front of Orc Town when the fire first started.
Wait, Alan suddenly thought, it seems that the orcs did not close their door when they ran away? Wouldn't it be possible to rush in and suppress the orcs directly?
Even if the cave cannot be completely destroyed, you can still take away everything worth taking away, tear down the things that cannot be taken away, and burn them with fire, destroying the things that the orcs have accumulated over countless years, and reducing their risk again.
The possibility of gathering here.
Thinking of this, Allen immediately began to assemble his army.
Then, under Allen's order, Hermione, Grim, Kress and twelve Twilight Knights stepped into the cave again and came to the main entrance of the Orc Town.
Allen held up the torch in his hand, called to Bilbo Baggins who was following him, and walked in first.
There was no reaction from the "Sting" in Bilbo Baggins' hand, which showed that the surrounding area was very safe and there were no living orcs.
Bandak arranged for fifty soldiers to send the wounded and sacrificed soldiers to Fatis at the gate of the valley, and he himself would lead more than 700 soldiers to follow Allen,
Enter Orc Town.
Allen and his group were walking in an upward passage holding torches. If nothing else, this road should lead directly to the hall of Orc Town.
This is the third time that Allen has stepped into the tunnel of the Misty Mountains. The torch in his hand reflects the stars on the surrounding mountain walls, and he doesn't know if they are water droplets or mineral veins.
Grim, who still maintained his giant bear state, walked at the front of the team. Relying on his keen sense of smell, Grim could barely trace the fresh orc scent in this complicated smell.
Alan, on the other hand, was holding up his Noldor enchanted shield, always ready to protect Bilbo Baggins who was holding "Sting".
Once the "thorn sting" glows with blue light, Allen will give priority to protecting the hobbit. After all, Bilbo Baggins' head has no protection at all.
In order to explore this dangerous orc lair, Allen prepared "Stinging" as an alarm and Grimm, who has a keen sense of smell, which can be regarded as using up all his trump cards.
However, Allen's behavior is destined to be a beautiful woman ogling a blind man, because at this time the entire Orc town has been abandoned by the Orcs.
Before, Fimbre, who had just escaped with his life, still thought of staying in Orc Town. After all, the living environment here was far better than other places, and there was also a large amount of supplies and slaves stored there.
Fimbre did not want to give up these wealth, he needed these things to maintain his rule, otherwise, he would be worthless soon.
But Fimbull soon gave up this idea, because he discovered Gandalf entering the tunnel, the figure glowing with white light, which made him make the decision to retreat in a very short period of time.
After all, nothing is as important as your own life.
Afterwards, Fimbre led a group of orcs who were willing to follow him and ran towards Moria, where he would re-establish a settlement.
As for the remaining small group of orcs, they were extremely reluctant to leave here, but with low morale, they did not have enough confidence to deal with the gray-robed wizard who looked very powerful.
They were helpless, and after a very brief argument, they dispersed and fled for their lives.
But even in this very short period of time, Gandalf still chased several of the orcs.
I saw the gray-robed wizard muttering to himself, and then the Gramdrin in his hand flew out like a bolt of lightning, piercing the two orcs who were trying to escape.
Then he took quick steps that were completely inconsistent with his face, rushed towards the other two fleeing orcs, knocked them to the ground with the long staff in his hand, and then waved, Gramdrin flew back to him
in hands.
Finally, the long sword with blue light slashed one of the orcs to death while swinging, and stopped on the neck of the only surviving orc.
"Tell me, where have all your filthy brethren gone?"
Allen and his party also discovered other situations at this time.
