The 'Vikings'

Leo quickly ran into the forest without pausing to glance back at the members of the 'Cross' guild. He had conveyed all he wanted to say and was now focused on finding a secure hiding spot.

He knew that the enemy would soon be upon them and that made him slightly nervous, but excited at the same time. Leo had already planned out how to wipe out all of them, if the fight really broke out.

Robin had requested Leo to refrain from attacking the 'Vikings' unless they initiated the fight, instead opting for a peaceful resolution to the conflict.

Leo shook his head in dismay as he observed Robin anxiously surveying the north. If what he had heard was accurate, there would be no chance for peace and the guilds would inevitably clash. Even if the 'Cross' guild offered to compensate for accidentally killing Martin with gold coins, they would still be met with attack.
