Food Is Important Than Life

With the result of the fight determined, the leader of the group of orcs decided to compromise. He let out a roar before gesturing at his four subordinates struggling to free themselves from the vine ropes. Understanding his demand, Erlos nodded and released the spell put on the vines. The orcs managed to easily break the vines, and the leader gestured for them to do something. The defeated orcs then glared at the direction of the elf before returning the way they came from. 

After they disappeared, the remaining two orcs retreated back to the forest as well, not without making low grunting sounds towards Erlos, as if to say, 'Do not enter the forest, or else we will battle with our lives on the line…'

With the orcs gone, the tension on the young elf's shoulders immediately dissipated. He knew he could overpower these creatures, but the fact that he was responsible for the safety of another person inevitably made him nervous.
