Why is this reading like this?

Why is this reading like this? Looking this up I had to search the radicals
individually on Jisho. The furigana reading... is it just flat out wrong?
Furthermore, why is the word structured like this? There is katakana right
after a hiragana character.

The context is that they are ninjas who are running away from someone more
formidable than them.

Can someone please clear this up or identify if it's wrong.




The word that is used in this panel is
[退く](https://jisho.org/word/%E9%80%80%E3%81%8F-2) in the imperative form.

In this case, the imperative form is made by changing 退く into 退け by taking the
last う (the one in く) and changing it into a え, which then changes く to け

The ツ, more or less, is just for dramatic effect. It's kind of like someone
saying "Retree...!!!" instead of just "Retreat!!!" in this case
