Seeing as the battle was going Zussorader thought to himself that if they continued to fight they will eventually be wiped out but he can't retreat not until he see the message from Philip that the Sa'er has been taken.
Due to the number of King Raynold's armies, King Raynold, Lord Emmanuel, Zussorender, the Generals, and the wizards, there was no way the Orges will ever win the battle. After many of the soldiers and some Generals were killed, the others soldiers and Generals fully understood the way the Orges fought and their ability, and that served as an advantage to the soldiers and Generals.
Each soldier and general either killed 4 or 3 Orges before they were killed by the Orges. The Orges still continued to avoid the Light army but they really can't, and the wizards continued to fight the Orges even though 20 of them have been killed. King Raynold, Zussorender, and Lord Emmanuel continued to fight through the army to get to Zussorader and the Marc but the Orges continued to stand in their way.

Ramsay, Noah, the other princes, and the princess, and the soldiers continued to do their best in making sure to secure the wall so the Orgmus and Orges won't enter the city, even though the soldiers were getting killed but they were also killing the Orges and the Orgmus.
Philip on the horse was watching the battle as it continued, then suddenly Lilia and the Orge carrying princess Esther appeared next to him. Philip saw them and princess Esther on the Orge's shoulder and smiled, then Philip said to Orges carry Princess Esther in ancient language ''give the retreat signal''.
The Orge gave a loud strange cry which the Orges fighting recognized as a signal of retreat and the Orges began to retreat with their Orgmus. The Orgmus climbed the wall back down and they all walked back to Philip with the Orgmus on the ground.
Ramsay, Noah, the other princes, the princesses, and the soldiers were all happy as the Orges retreated with their Orgmus, and they all cheered happily as they raised their weapons up happily.
As Ramsay, Noah, and everyone was cheering and hugging each other that they won just then Benjamin ran through the stairs and ran to Noah and Ramsay on the battlement. Also, just then Prince Mike saw a human carried by an Orge standing close to Philip and he stopped cheering as he looked at the human closely.
As Benjamin got to Ramsay and Noah, Ramsay and Noah noticed his facial expression telling that something is wrong and they stopped cheering. Ramsay (curious) asked Benjamin ''what is it?''.
''The attack on the city was a distraction'' said Benjamin to Ramsay and Noah.
''What are you talking about?'' Noah (confused, same with Ramsay) asked Benjamin.
Prince Mike continued looking at the human the Orge was carrying as the Orges on their Orgmus walked back to Philip but couldn't see the human face and was now thinking that the clothe the human wore looked the same as the one, one of them wore and looked the clothing carefully. Then Prince Mike remember it was the clothes princess Esther wore and began to look around for her.
Benjamin said to Noah and Ramsay ''the Orges attacked the palace and took her''.
''If this is a joke you can just stop it'' said Ramsay to Benjamin then he and Noah looked into Benjamin's eyes and saw he was serious, and were shocked.
Ramsay asked Benjamin ''how did the Orges get into the palace?''.
''I think their plan was to really attack the palace, not the city gate. The attack on the city gate was a distraction and they must have sneaked into the city before the attack''.
''Hope they did not take the dark crystal and who was it that they took?'' Noah asked Benjamin curiously, just then prince Mike walked to them after he couldn't find princess Esther anywhere on the battlement and on the ground inside the city.
Prince Mike asked Ramsay and Noah ''where is princess Esther, your royal highnesses?'' as he got to them who were still waiting for an answer from Benjamin.
''Is she not on the battlement?'' Noah answered prince Mike.
''I can't find her anywhere on the battlement'' said prince Mike to Noah.
''The Orges didn't take the dark crystal but they took her'' said Benjamin to Noah and Ramsay.
Noah and Ramsay were confused on hearing what Benjamin but prince Mike was shocked and looked at the Orge carrying the human which was now about to climb on top of an Orgmus, and said to himself ''oh no''.
''What are you talking about?'' Noah asked Benjamin.
''She was taken by the Orges that attacked the palace'' said Benjamin.
''There she is'' said prince Mike as she looked at princess Esther (he could now see her face and hands that were bound together) on the shoulder of the Orge.
Benjamin, Noah, and Ramsay looked at the Orges on their Orgmus, Lilia at the back of Philip on the horse as they were all now riding away from the gate, and they saw princess Esther on an Orge shoulder bound in the hands and eyes, Ramsay and Noah were shocked and scared.
Ramsay shouted out loud ''open the gate right now'' to the soldiers and they all wondered why he said that, and the other princes and princesses walked hurriedly to Ramsay and the others.
Benjamin asked Ramsay ''what are you doing?'' after what Ramsay said to the soldiers.
''We need to go out there to save her'' said Noah to Benjamin.
''No we can't'' said Benjamin to Noah, just then the other princes and princesses got to them.
''Why shouldn't we go after them?'' prince Mike asked Benjamin.
''Because if we do we will be wiped out. The Orgmus are very better on the ground'' said Benjamin to prince Mike. The other princes and princesses wondered what they were talking about.
''I don't care, we should go after them and rescue her'' said Ramsay in anger.
''We can't act recklessly, we need to think before we act'' said Benjamin to Ramsay.
''What if they kill her while we stay here and think'' said Ramsay to Benjamin as he looked at Benjamin.
''The Orges don't take prisoner without a reason, and besides, if you go after the Orges with the army who is going to guard the city if another army of Orges attacks the city? The Orges of then were dullards but the Orges of now are smart than they could ever be'' said Benjamin to Ramsay.
''He is right brother, we should think this through before doing anything'' said Noah to Ramsay as he looked at Ramsay.
''Then what do you expect us to do?'' prince Mike asked Benjamin as he looked at Benjamin since the Orges, Philip, and Lilia were now far away from them and were losing sight of them.
''We do nothing and I need to know the reason she was kidnapped'' said Benjamin.
''Who was kidnapped?" asked princess Camelia.
''Princess Esther'' said Prince Mike to the other princes and princesses and they were all shocked and afraid on hearing that.
''How did that happen?'' asked prince Redrick (worried).
''The Orges attack the palace and she left here to the palace and was taken by them'' said Benjamin to the other princes and the princesses.
''Why would she leave the battlement and go to the palace?'' asked princess Kylie.
''And how do you expect anyone to know that'' said princess Camelia to princess Kylie.
''She told me she needs to go to the palace. It like she knew the Orges were going to attack the palace or they are attacking the palace'' said Benjamin to the others and began to think.
''How can she know that when we were all here fighting the Orges and the Orgmus'' said Ramsay (in anger) to Benjamin.
''Why do they take her if the attack on the palace was not to take the dark crystal ?'' asked prince Redrick, just then a thought came to Benjamin's mind as he was thinking.
''I told you not to ask a question no one has an answer to'' said prince Mike to Prince Redrick.
Benjamin asked Noah ''what kind of power does the princess possess?''.
''Why are you asking that?'' Ramsay asked Benjamin as he looked at him.
''I need to know please''' said Benjamin (worried) to everyone as he looked at everyone.
''She can read minds and talk inside one's head'' said Noah to Benjamin.
Hearing that Benjamin became scared and more worried. He said out loud ''oh fuck'' as he looked outside the city.
''What happened?'' Noah asked Benjamin as they all saw the way Benjamin reacted when he heard about Princess Esther's power.
''We need to go get her back'' said Benjamin.
''I know that but you are right we shouldn't act with haste'' said Ramsay to Benjamin.
''No we have to go get her back or we will all die'' said Benjamin.
Everyone was confused on hearing that and wondered why Benjamin said that. ''Why did you say that?'' prince Mike asked Benjamin.
''She is the Sa'er and we need to go get her now or he will be awaken and we will all be doomed'' said Benjamin to everyone.
Zussorader (on the horse) and the Marc ( on the phoenix bird) were still watching the fight and Zussorader waiting impatiently for Philip's message or else they will be wiped out when he and the Marc heard the sound of Orgmus's footsteps, and they both looked back to see an Orge riding an Orgmus toward them.
The Orge bow to Zussorader and said to him in ancient language ''we have the Sa'er'' as it got to Zussorader and the Marc. Zussorader smiled and said to the Marc in ancient language ''it's done. Sound the signal''. The Marc command the Phoenix bird to make a sound, then the phoenix bird wailed and the Orges recognized it as a signal for retreat, and they all began to retreat.
As the Orges began to retreat, General Raphael went to King Raynold and said to him ''your royal majesty, they are retreating what should we do?'.
King Raynold, Lord Emmanuel, and Zussorender saw Zussorader as he was riding away, and King Raynold said to Generals Raphael ''non of them must be left to live go after them and get me a horse''.
General Raphael ordered the generals and soldiers to go after the Orges. Some generals and all the soldiers went after the Orges except King Raynold, Lord Emmanuel, Zussorender, the light army, some Generals, and the wizards. King Raynold, Lord Emmanuel, and Zussorender were given a horse and they ride after the Orges too, while the other stood behind to take care of the dead soldiers, wizards, and Generals.

Ramsay asked for the number of soldiers that was killed and he was told that they lost 300 thousand, which made him and the other princes and princesses sad. Ramsay ordered the remaining soldiers to be shared to the four gates so they can guard in case of any immediate or unaware attack, and some of the soldiers are to continue guarding the palace with the head guard and the remaining guards.
The dead soldiers' and guard's bodies were given to their family to cremate with compensation to their family and those who don't have a family was cremated by the soldiers and guards.
Ramsay, Noah, Benjamin, the other princes, and princesses returned back to check on Lythia and Gabriel to see if they were okay and when they confirmed they were okay they all left for the palace pavilion to talk.
Ramsay, Noah, Benjamin, the other princes, and princesses all sat down around the big table in the pavilion talking after Ramsay and Noah introduce Benjamin to the other princes and the princesses.
Prince Mike said to Benjamin ''so you mean it is princess Esther's blood that can wake Marcelos not his royal highnesses blood''.
''Yes'' said Benjamin.
''All because she is the Sa'er'' said prince Redrick and smirked. ''How come you know she is the Sa'er?'' prince Redrick asked Benjamin.
''Her ability tells that she is one and she can do more than that'' said Benjamin.
''What kind of power does she possesses again?'' Noah asked Benjamin.
''Far more than you can ever imagine'' said Benjamin.
''Why don't you tell us'' said princess Camelia to Benjamin.
''I can't. Am sure she doesn't know who she is yet, that is the reason why the Orges were able to kidnap her knowing that. If the Orges know that she knows who she is they will never dare to kidnapped her'' said Benjamin.
''Are you saying she is very powerful'' prince Kinsley asked Benjamin.
''She is as powerful as Marcelos, it is just that their powers is different'' said Benjamin, All the princes and princesses were surprised and confused on hearing that.
''How can she be powerful as Marcelos'' Ramsay asked Benjamin.
''Am sorry I can't tell you. All we need to do is to get her back'' said Benjamin.
''What is that you are hiding from us Lord Benjamin?'' princess Kylie asked Benjamin.
''Am hiding nothing'' said Benjamin.
''Then why can't you tell us about her?'' prince Mike asked Benjammin.
''Because telling you about her is like venturing into the past that will lead to a lot of question, am not even worthy of telling you about her and her kind. And while we talk about her she is going to be used to waking Marcelos, we need to get her back now before we are all doomed'' said Benjamin.
''They must be a reason why Lord Emmanuel is being secretive about her, and am sure it IS a good reason. Our priority right now should be getting here back, now that we know she is the key to waking Marcelos up and she is from my bloodline. She can also be used to open the tomb'' said Ramsay to the princes and princesses.
''Shouldn't we send a message to the great King to let him know about what is happening'' said princess Kylie to Ramsay.
''No, we won't be doing that. We don't know what father and the others are facing right now, we shouldn't add to their worries. And we will be keeping the kidnapped of my sister a secret and get her back before father and the others return'' said Ramsay to everyone.
''What do we do now then?'' prince Mike asked Ramsay.
''We are leaving Axrax secretly by nightfall to go save princess Esther and that is going to be just only us, but two of us will have to stay behind to be in charge of the kingdom. Is there anyone who will volunteer to stay behind and guard the kingdom?'' said Ramsay to everyone and the princes and princesses all looked at each other wondering who will volunteer to stay behind.
Seeing no one is willing to volunteer Noah said ''I will stay behind'', hearing that princess Camelia said she will also stay behind.
Ramsay said to everyone ''now that my brother and princess Camelia will be staying behind we should all go get everything we are going to need for the journey''.
NIGHT
King Raynold and his armies set camp after they lost track of the Orges, Zussorader and the Marc, and some generals and soldiers were ordered to find any trail that the Orge must have left behind.
King Raynold, Lord Emmanuel, Zussorender, General Rapahel, and 6 Generals all sat on chairs around a big table inside King Raynold's tent to discuss. Zussorender said to King Raynold ''we should return to Axrax your royal majesty''.
''It had been a few days since we left the Axrax and we don't know what happening, we should really go back home your royal majesty'' said Lord Emmanuel to King Raynold.
''We are not going home not until we eradicate the Orges and get back the mind crystal'' said King Raynold to lord Emmanuel and Zussorender.
''We have done a lot of harm to the Orge army that they will never dare tries to attack any village not to talk of Axrax, we should go back'' said Lord Emmanuel to King Raynold.
''That is not enough, your grace. If we let the Orges go now and don't hunt them down they will return back stronger, they need to be eradicated now'' said General Raphael to Lord Emmanuel.
''It is also a risk to hunt the Orges while we leave the kingdom in the hand of the kids. Sorry to say that your royal majesty'' said Zussorender to General Raphael.
''We are hunting the Orges till we kill them all and that is final'' said King Raynold to everyone.
''Yes your royal majesty'' said all in a union.
''What is our casualties General Raphael?'' King Raynold asked the supreme General.
''We lost half of the soldiers due to them not having any experience of how to fight the Orges and because they have never been in any real combat but they have adapted. We also lost 25 wizards and 12 Generals remaining 12 Generals'' said General Raphael to King Raynold.
''Which means we didn't lose any light army soldiers?'' King Raynold asked General Raphael.
''Yes your royal majesty. I noticed in the battle that the Orges were avoiding the light army because of their fighting skills are very unique'' said General Raphael to King Raynold.
''That means we are going to make the light army the vanguard and the armies remaining are enough to kill all remaining Orges'' said King Raynold.
''What do we do about the dead bodies your royal majesty?'' a General asked King Raynold.
''They are to be cremated here and their ashes are to be given to their family when we get back to Axrax'' said King Raynold, just then the Generals sent to look for any trail left by the Orges walked in and knee with one of their knees in front of King Raynold.
A general (on his knee) said to King Raynold ''we have found footprints of Orges not too far from us, your royal majesty''.
King Raynold asked General Raphael ''how many horses were we able to recover''.
''All of them your royal majesty. The Orges doesn't seem to care about the horses'' said General Raphael to King Raynold.
''Then they must be a fool. Gathered all the soldiers we are following the Orges's footprint after we cremated the dead'' said King Raynold to everyone.
Lord Emmanuel and Zussorender wasn't happy with the King's decision.
AXRAX
The princes, Benjamin and princess Kylie pack things they will be needing for the journey which are food, water, blankets and some other things that they all tied to their horses each. Noah and princess Camelia said goodbye to them at the west gate and they all ride out to bring back princess Esther.
