If you don’t want to help the slavers, here is a tip: you can destroy ladders.

I’ll add another one: get to them from the miconids village, do not engage them from the lower ground by the lake.
Once you’re done that, destroy the stairs first and push them down afterwards. You won’t believe how easy this fight gets.
Or you know, you could always lower the difficulty. No shame in doing so
