On the other hand, reinforcement slowly started to appear on the Orc side.
Meanwhile, the Orc started to send their scouts didn't stop and the Orc's group started to spread out.
Lesh forces along with Lucas rested and recovered for some time but they didn't sit still and as soon as they recovered, they started to work again to rescue the citizens.
They formed a small group and moved around informing the villagers to evacuate to the nearby cities.
Occasionally, if they would meet with Orcs they would blend into normal humans and retreat trying to avoid a battle as much as they could.

Their topmost priority was to save as many lives as possible. About the matter of territory, it would be solved as soon as imperial forces arrived.
