The reason they came out to gather information was that many of their clan members had been taken away.
It was obvious that that group of mercenaries had already scouted the supply points near the Fox Beastman territory.
For the sake of survival, all the fox beastmen from their territory go there, and whenever the party is smaller in number, they're easy to target and disappear.
She knew clearly they could never return to their original territory—now, the only option was to follow this group of beastmen and take things one step at a time.
For the sake of their future, to some extent, they even had to protect the interests of these beastmen.
Maybe, in the human territory, they'd find a better solution than risking a rescue themselves.
Might as well take a gamble!
