Out in the open desert, Khao'khen was leading four of the horde's warband as they chased after the group of enemies that left the city and if they leave them be then the news of the City of Alsenna being siege by orcs would spread all across the lands of Ereia which he didn't want to happen. He had specifically tasked Skorno, Haguk and Dhug'mhar to raid the surroundings of the city to the ground and drive its residents towards the city and not away from it and they were given an order that no one must get pass by them from within the city to the outside but from the outside towards the city, they don't have to intervene.
