"withdraw!"
He deflected Zoro's sword and uttered the word with resentment.
The orcish army began to retreat, but the Alliance, which had already gained the upper hand, was not about to let them leave so easily.
The sounds of hacking and slashing continued, the number of orcs was decreasing, but their distance from the city gate was only slowly shrinking.
At the city gate.
"Sir, the shouts of battle over there are getting closer and closer!"
One of Duro's guards whispered a reminder to him.
The dwarf was quite pleased with the title "Sir," and he could almost see the city lord, Saril, bestowing upon him a higher rank and title.
"Okay, grab your weapons, let's go over there too, let's attack from both sides!"

When Duro saw him die suddenly, his fighting spirit was greatly diminished, and many of the guards behind him even began to flee.
The catching orcs killed several people and quickly approached the city gate.
Zoro, who was chasing behind, was furious to see the guards at the city gate collapse in an instant, but he was helpless.
He knew that not all of these orcs would be able to stay tonight!
