Chapter 179: Failure

'Lord!'

Kirt was startled by the sudden voice.

"Is that you!"

Kirt frowned and looked around and saw a small shadow hovering around.

'Yes, it's me. And do what I say. As for her tantrum, just get beaten. I will reward you later.'

'Okay!' Kirt nodded with a sigh as he knew that this woman not only would throw a tantrum but she would also beat him to a pulp.

But he wasn't in a leisure situation where he could think about the future where he could bear her tantrum. He needs to carry out the order he was given now.

'Can't do anything about it. Even if I get beaten badly later on, surviving comes first.'

Kirt got on the beast named Lopus that had a camel head and while body of a horse.

He raised his right hand to take command and shouted

"Advance the troops to the front and pull her away."

"My kins, the biggest and boldest ones, go to the front and grab her with all your might. She might protest but near it."

The moment he spoke this, the fellow Orcs around him started to sweat buckets nevertheless they heard this plan.

Kirt revealed his plans in detail.

"Kuak!"

"Kuk!"

"Grr!"

Meanwhile, the orcs fell one by one as they couldn't hold back the charging of the humans as Kirt drew everyone's attention which led to the collapse of the lines.

Kirt's face became urgent seeing this.

"You all understood?"

"Yes! Understood."

The troops nodded and grinding their teeth ran forward.

They rode their lopuses and started to ride at high speed.

Their objective was to halt the fight between Cameron and Seeker.

"Huh?! Sir Commander is in danger!"

"The orc bastards are coming!"

"Fuck! They seem to be going for Sir Cameron. Everyone helps."

"Provide support.

The soldiers that were pushing the Orcs yelled with an urgent expression.

All squad members raised their spears and ran toward Cameron.

Things became chaotic all of a sudden making many terrified as the situation became out of control as anyone was going anywhere without giving a damn about formations.

It was messy and chaotic.

The human ran with all their might. However, they couldn't beat the lopuses that had better mobility.

They reached in front of Seeker and Cameron in an instant.

Half of the orcs attacked Cameron and the other half assaulted Seeker.

Cameron, who was pressing Seeker fiercely, bit his lower lip at the sudden attack and kicked the ground to jump back.

The place he stood before was bombarded with mace strikes.

The human being lesser in numbers struggled to keep the Orcs at bay as they pressed onto a single point without giving much space to break free.

The Orc went on suicidal techniques which also put their lives in danger nevertheless they persisted.

"Just what is this?"

Cameron sucked in cold air like tides. The Orc pounced on him as if he was a heinous criminal who had committed a very vile sin.

"What are you all doing?"Seeker who yelled with immense frustration was suddenly grabbed by five Martial King Orcs from behind.

On the other side, Seeker yelled towards the orcs that were grabbing her arms and legs.

She pushed them away, throwing her hands and feet with great force.

"Let go! Let me go! I am your Superior."

But the orcs didn't react to her orders and suppressing the pain from her hits, they tied down Seeker with a rope they had prepared.

Kirt, who arrived late, carried her on his shoulder.

"Pardon my negligence."He muttered with beads of sweat forming on his forehead.

"Kirt! Let this go! Let me go! I have to kill that bastard!"

Her eyes and voice were filled with madness.

Seeker struggled to break free of Kirt's grasp.

As Kirt urged him northward, Seeker's desperation grew. "Troop commander, if we continue like this, we'll be annihilated! Don't we need to survive first to seek revenge? You will die at this rate."

"Shut up! Untie me, now!" Seeker demanded, her voice tinged with frustration and urgency.

But Kirt remained inflexible, unmoved by Seeker's pleas. Instead, he turned his attention to the orcs, his voice booming with authority. "Retreat! Retreat! Take the troops back and clear a path!"

"Form a blockade from behind to stop their march."

Before he even finished issuing the order, the orcs restraining Cameron swiftly withdrew and moved with the fluidity of a rushing stream.

Cameron kicked off the ground, attempting to chase Seeker but an array of Martial Lord Orcs blocked his way as the higher rank ones ran away leaving a cloud of dust.

"Get out!'He roared with bloodshot eyes and swung his spear to stab the Orcs.

"KHUMM!"

"KHUMM!"

Stabbing one, he lifted it and spun it around to slam another and repeated the motion but despite killing dozens in just a few moments the Orcs didn't move away rather they grabbed the spread tightly.

'NO!NO!NO!'

'I can't lose. Everyone's sacrifice would be meaningless.'

'Those people who trusted meI can't betray their trust. I need to fight for them. I need to fight for everyone to survive. If I let her escape, all of their deaths would be useless.'

"Commander!"The team around Cameron stared at him.

Cameron without looking back screamed.

"CHARGE!"

Cameron, followed by many Martial Kings, lunged forward, attempting to chase Seeker, but their path was blocked by a formidable line of Orc soldiers.

Both ahead and from the side Orcs troops surrounded them.

"FUCKKK!"Genard screamed in anger.

"I know something like this is gonna happen."Genard, one of the commanders who followed Cameron, cursed.

Elena who also followed Cameron gulped her saliva.

In charge, they had already lost half of their troops and after running all the way here and tired, all of them were dead tired.

At this rate, even a handful of Martial Lords can take them down due to the number advantage.

However, Cameron wasn't ready to give up.

At the forefront stood Cameron, like the cutting edge of a knife, his determination etched into his expression as he pierced the Orcs.

"We can't let this go. We need to chase them."Cameron roared in anger as he fought frantically to reach for the Seeker and the troops retreating with her.
