Defeat

Reef stumbled back unsteadily, blood spilling out of the gaps between his tightly gritted teeth. With every backward step he took, the ground underneath his foot seemed to explode, sending soil and stones flying everywhere. The surface of his dark gold shield was ablaze with fire, and there were some very visible dents and cracks on it!

The enemy's ambush was not refined, but it was vicious. First, a woman fired a shot at the Orc labourers Party Ace was escorting. If these fragile creatures died, their mission would fail.
That was not all. The woman had deliberately paused before she pulled the trigger, for a very simple reason. The shot was aimed at the enemy's weakness, the place where they were most vulnerable but had no choice but to protect. Therefore, she was sure that the enemy MT would definitely save the Orc labourers.
