@Krayz -

What David said. Or tie them up in a pasture somewhere near a village to delay their escape. (Or kill them and incinerate the bodies... is what I would've done, not that Naofumi would)

Naofumi didn't know about the specific functions of the orb, except that it records video (maybe he didn't even know that, but why risk it? Who knows what they are plotting to do with it...). The transmission capacity is pure conjecture on your part. No one knows how the orb functions exactly.

Why would Naofumi take the risk and let those soldiers and the orb go? Why would he let these villains report back to their superiors about how the operation went? Why wouldn't he want to capture all of them to interrogate for more information (just because one didn't talk doesn't mean the others won't)?

Remember, Filo even offered to chase them. It's not that Naofumi didn't think of the idea. He actively rejected it. Why?

The benefits clearly outweigh the negatives (if there is even any), which means it is the logical thing to do.

Also, just because it didn't occur to you doesn't mean it's not logical.
