The situation in Tan-skinned City is indeed dire; the Hope City players arrived suddenly, taking advantage of their tricks to kidnap many children under the cover of night as hostages. Both players and ordinary people in Tan-skinned City are apprehensive, and eventually, under the threat from Hope City players of killing one child every ten minutes, some players had no choice but to surrender.
Tan-skinned City players know well that even sacrificing their lives might not stop Hope City players from setting fire to the entire city. Everyone is aware of the Hope City situation, but being controlled by others, they can only choose to sacrifice some people.
However, the people from Hope City did not directly kill the players who voluntarily stepped forward; instead, they blinded them and broke their hands.
