Chapter 288: Kidnapping Nobles (Part 2)
Before Melina and I could discuss our situation with the two Guanghua nobles, we were told to wait for a moment as there were others who wanted to attend our small gathering.
It was Bjorn and Magnus, the two warriors from the Northern Empire, who had been waiting for us to return to the settlement.
We didn’t have a way to send them back home, but even if we did, the two of them wanted to stay and fight with us. At least, that’s what they said.
When we explained to them that a devil had taken control of Guanghua, Lord Yushan looked shocked, but the two northern warriors didn’t seem that taken aback.
Even Mei Ling, whom we had already told the reason why we were there, looked more surprised than the two warriors.
"We had our suspicions, but we’ve never gotten close to seeing it..." said Bjorn.
The two warriors told me that they were able to sense demonic energy in the same way that mages could. In fact, they also used magic when fighting, but their methods were different from those of other countries.
They called themselves "battle-mages," which was basically the equivalent of a knight in the Sephyr Kingdom. However, these guys had a more "Viking look" and used spears and axes as their weapons.
"In our hometown, the emperor suddenly went mad and started attacking every single village... It was during the attack on ours that we felt a massive torrent of demonic energy," Magnus explained.
