The afternoon after the meeting, Louis sent someone to knock on the doors of every attending Lord and Knight representative.
Leaving just one light message: "Gather at the North City Wall, I have something for you to see with your own eyes."
He gave no explanation, only instructing his attendants to prepare cloaks and portable heaters.
Thus, those nobles who were discussing cooperation and profit-sharing over tea on velvet chairs yesterday were forced to climb the newly built wall of Frost Halberd City in the biting wind and snow.
They thought Louis was simply putting on airs or intending to hold a so-called lord inspection ceremony.
However, when they stood on the wall and saw the gathering black torrent outside the city, all their luck and conjecture were instantly crushed.
Louis called them here not for a ceremony but to let them witness the imminent danger and the power of the Red Tide.
