As someone who found the idea of kingdoms going against one another directly and losing hundreds or even thousands of men in war distasteful, Floki's initial plan was to set up a trap not too far away from Blackstone, then lure them out with some rage-baiting script he had already prepared in his head.
This plan was thwarted when he found Cale and the others. Their escape had informed Blackstone that something was off.
Breeze might have already warned them to prepare, but the escape of Cale and co. was definitely the sole reason they were now standing at the border, awaiting their arrival.
It was still very early in the morning, and the entire atmosphere was cool and bright.
The border was now very noisy and heavily occupied.
The villagers of Blackstone had heard the commotion and gathered to watch. There were also some slaves among them who came to observe and speculate.
At that moment, their faces all held dumbfounded expressions.
Their chief.
Kellan Blackstone.
