Althea could start the plan now and rescue these women. However, she might have to go against a village of orcs and half-orcs, and she could not handle that.
Further, even if her level in the other side's population tab was just level 13, she was already twice that level in reality, so if she actually went aggressive and hurt a citizen, she would definitely be punished.
The system's penalties were never light, and she'd never sacrifice herself for other people outside her family.
Not to mention, even if she tried, the girls behind her wouldn't be able to.
Considering she was there also to figure out a few things, then going at this carelessly was counterproductive.
Even the two level-15 half-orcs who had mixed in with the homecoming party had to be careful. Their strength was not special here, and their main assignment was to explore the place. Virion had assigned them to their own mission, and Althea couldn't really rely on them.
