"Stop him!!" Urul said as he knew that once Marc was equipped again they would have a hard time. Untlac appeared next to Marc as the items are flying back to him trying to stop him using only his claws.
Marc instantly weaved and redirected his attack to the side gracefully making his body block the sights of the elven archers. Using that second of airtime the lizard chief is in, Marc went on a full speed wing chun combo on the side of the guy.
His punches landed on where ribs might be, the jaw of the lizardman and some softer parts which looked vulnerable.
"Guarkh!!" Untlac puked blood from the hits.
In that one second Marc was able to land at least ten punches sending Untlac flying unconscious.
Marc swerved and then caught the buckler, round shield and a small axe while the daggers were a bit far but he still has a short sword with him.
Mark then ran full speed towards the archers who split themselves but they were only five. Marc blocked the aura clad arrows going towards him using the buckler while the others missed as he was so fast.
Marc shield bashed one archer unconscious but before Marc could go for the others Urul and the Orc general arrived with Magla who was able to recover shortly.
But Marc did not slow down as he threw the buckler and round shield Captain America style knocking two more archers. When Urul was near Marc leaned forward and threw the short sword down hitting the orc chief's thigh again.
"Argh!!" Urul stumbled but Magla leaned forward to get Marc's attention. Yet he just did a Judo throw on her sending her to get hit by arrows.
Now Mark swung his fist towards the orc General making him raised his guard but Marc stopped his attack then held the top of the tower shield and did a left hook hitting the orc general behind the shield on his face sending him away.
Mark then lifted the shield blocking Urul's hammer but he was surprised when Urul let go of his hammer and tackled him.
Marc was impressed as this was the first time any of them landed a blow but he did not lose his balance and even sending the tower shield towards another archer leaving only one.
Marc then elbowed Urul on his back while also raising his leg to stop a right hook from the orc chief with his knee. And one of his hands raised up and caught an arrow, Marc smiled then stabbed the arrow on the Chief's shoulder blades making his left hand limp.
"Urgh!!" Urul grunted at the pain.
Marc stomped the raised leg to his back stopping the push of the orc Chief and reached his left hand to his back where he held the thumb of the orc chief.
"GRAGHH!!" Urul screamed in pain as his finger was bent.
Bending the thumb back, the hold of the orc chief was lost but before Marc could land a punch to the Orc's face he twisted his body and dodged as Magla arrived seemingly feral and wild like a werewolf.
"Roar!"
She even did not use her mace anymore, Marc pivoted and threw the Orc Chief towards the last archer sending them both back while Marc faced with the last fighter, the Kobold chief Magla.
Marc did not delay and charged forward to face the feral woman, Marc could at least give some attention to the others watching now and saw their shocked and horrified faces.
Marc smiled deep inside as he had not once been hit properly since the fight started and he had not used his aura either. Marc bob and weaved and started giving the feral woman some boxing combos.
'Tyson Special! Left Hook, Right hook and Uppercut!' Marc said in his head as he used combos one after another while dodging the swipes of Magla with her claws.
'Left High! Left Low!!' Marc was pummeling the Kobold chief and finally he sent a finishing combo.
'Left Jab, right straight, left hook, Uppercut!!' Marc then the Kobold chief down leaving him the only one standing while the strongest of this world now lay defeated and he still reamained unscathed.
"Is this all?" Marc's low voice sounded out as he looked towards the army and the defeated enemies.
"Is this your conviction? IS THIS ALL YOU CAN SHOW?!" Marc shouted as he glared at the others but the area was so silent while an eerie wind blew past the grey fields.
"Hmph…" Marc then turned around and went to get all his equipment. When he was done he walked back towards Bacon who stood up seeing him coming near.
"W-wait…" a voice sounded out making Marc pause on his tracks. He looked back and saw Urul standing in front with his left arm limp but his right hand still picked up his hammer.
"You have lost, there is no point in fighting further." Marc said as he looked towards the Orc Chief.
"Do we not deserve to live and survive? We have the conviction to send out kind to death yet was it not enough? Why must we stay and perish ourselves?" the Orc chieftain asked in a despairing voice.
'Damn man, don't make me out as the villain here. But I don't mind that much though…'
"Did the innocent souls that died due to your actions not deserve to live as well? Do not come with me with high sounding words, I am not a saint nor a charity giver that I would empathize with you struggles. We all have lives to live and many of those unable to live theirs to the end because of you…" Marc looked down towards the Army that was now devoid of morale.
"…so do not speak to me about your struggles and expect me to give you leeway. The fact that many died due to you actions is still true, you might have good reasons at the start but please do not tell me that not once did no one try to exploit this to their benefit…" Marc was pulling anything he can in his brain to sound eloquent as possible but he now forgot what he came for a few moments.
"… and I see no benefit letting you all stay alive for long. There is nothing that could benefit our lives outside if we let you stay here making more of this nonsensical crusade of yours." Marc said as he was about to turn back.
"There is!! You can benefit, just bring us a human to become the new owner! Once you have that human on you then we can become his servants thus yours as well!" Glasha the orc princess spoke from behind making Marc look at then at Urul.
"Human?" Marc said in an inquisitive tone but he knew it already when he spied on the tower.
"Y-yes… only a human could claim the Holy Artifact…" Urul's sighed as he heard his daughter give this information to the unknown enemy.
"Hmmm…" Marc acted to be pondering and looked over to the tower in the distance.
"So this is a dungeon huh… and that must be the dungeon core. You want me to bring a human here so you could save your world? Why should I let this world continue and why should I let you all live?" Marc said in a dark questioning tone.
"B-but we can work for you, we can serve so please let my world live!" Glasha was kneeling in despair as she started sobbing.
"Hmm… don't want to…" Marc said in an uncaring cold voice. "You lot cannot even make me bleed. Why should I let weak things like you serve me?"
Marc was totally acting like the Villain as he stood there feeling good about himself. But he only said this so at least he could give some little semblance of hope to the ones here.
"Great warrior…" Urul spoke with a weird expression in his eyes.
"Hmm?" Marc raised his brow looking at the Orc chief.
"If… if I can make you bleed, even just a little will you spare all of us?" Urul said as some tattoo of his in his hands started glowing.
"D-dad? What are y-hmphh!" Glasha was about to speak why her father was using that technique but she was stopped by her mother who had just gotten up.
'Don't speak my child…' Bula whispered as she looked in sadness towards her partner.
"You can't even defeat me or land a proper blow, you have no hope to even make me bleed…" Marc said in a quite arrogant tone but he knew that maybe this guy was going to use some sort of suicide skill.
Sure he would like to have a competent subordinate like him but Marc knew that he could never control someone as stubborn as this guy.
He just exudes too much patriotism that Marc knew that if he ever does something he does not think would benefit this world then he might just betray him.
Anyways he does not care much but to at least give them a reason to surrender without a fight to the death. And a former leaders sacrifice to let them live would prevent them from ever trying to anger and oppose Marc.
They might see him as an enemy but they will also remember that they are alive due to him letting them live because of a sacrifice of a noble leader like this orc.
"Will you spare them?"
