I might be wrong, but I'm quite sure that the fact that the Fucklord is planning an attack on Arclent was kept secret from all nations. Officially, Simon is performing rituals to strenghten (in some nebulous way) the nations against some potential magical threat. The orcs couldn't know of the Fucklord's attack and they can't even know what the ritual actually does since they are unaware of the existance of the Tower.

So, basically, what Tak'kan knows is that the DK wants to interfere with the nation's magic to perform a ritual which effects are unknown and which will affect the entire country. Certainly, the DK has been good to them, but I can understand the reticence. Also, I wouldn't presume that all orcs feel grateful for what was given to them. Outside of being free of The Incubus emperor, they didn't necessarily asked for it and an unwanted gift isn't much of a a gift.
