It could be seen that the battle had ended and one party was being chased by the other. The party upfront attempted to escape from the death threats in a fluster, while the party at the rear yelled, waved their weapons, and gave chase. As if the fleeing party weren't unfortunate enough, Rhode's group was blocking their path ahead.
The fleeing party climbed over the hill and witnessed the 'unexpected guests' ahead. After taking a close look at one another, both sides were surprised. Rhode stared in astonishment at the group of…. Humans.
That's right. Rhode suspected if they were even humans.
