*** Before the attack ***
Alec approached his group, discreetly tapping them on the shoulders as if offering a friendly greeting.
Despite his cheerful demeanor, his true intentions remained well-hidden.
Having been together for a long time, the Gordons clan's group was well-versed in recognizing different signs.
They swiftly set up their large tent, positioning it to face each other as if preparing for an important gathering.
Opting to stay separate from the Wild adventurer group and their bonfire, they gradually filtered into Alec's tent.
Once everyone had assembled, Alec cleared his throat and began silently mouthing his words, careful not to make a sound.
Thankfully, the group managed to decipher Alec's intended message.
Some of them even engaged in unrelated conversations to divert any suspicion.
