Meeting the locals

As I marched through the camp, the local people had to come to the same conclusion as the warriors that decided to ignore me in the end before. Before I even reached the midpoint of the place, I was already surrounded by the people shouting over each other something that I was barely able to discern as the pleas for help.

But how could I help them? 

Go against the stronger side? Let them in the small world on my island? 

But even if I brought back those women and their kids, what about their husbands who were betting their lives, fighting against the enemy on that grass field? If I saved some, how would the others feel?
