'Come on, don't make me wait,' Layn thought, observing the massive fortification in the distance.
Just a few hours ago, while their group was still beyond the visible range of the spotters on the Slavian's fortifications, they decided to let the captured patrol go.
Given all the efforts Layn had to put forward to capture them, it appeared like an idiotic attempt at mending the relations between the two parties... But it wasn't that in the first place.
'Come on, any time now,' Layn continued to wish, awaiting the Slavian move.
They released the patrol people with a simple purpose in mind. By allowing them to go free, Layn's group showed the first sign of kindness, the first hint that they were willing to sit down at the table and negotiate. This was also the message that those people were tasked with passing.
