Benjamin really did not expect this.
They had already left Icor, and as such the warrant for his arrest was already at the back of his mind – they were always so careful, even if the people of the town of Ciera said anything, they were floating about on the boat for so long, no one could ever guess their exact location.
When the ice boat was crossing the border, it was a little high profile…. But still, to connect that with Benjamin and his people, are these people Sherlock Holmes?
But even if these people had any evidence against them, and felt that Benjamin and gang were the culprits in the ice boat incident, where did such a big group of guards come from? The Valley of the Abyss was surrounded by wilderness, there were no garrisons near Ferelden - why would the thousands of guards find the time to come here so early in the morning?
