As I kept advancing with my group toward the snowy mountains in the north, we passed by a half-destroyed abandoned village.
The small town didn't have a single corpse or blood stains anywhere, only torn-down houses that seemed to have been sliced by a giant blade, so the warriors concluded that the people were probably sent to the capital to work as slaves.
Since the Northern Empire didn't have a large population like other countries, Baelzor was against killing everyone, as it would leave him with no manpower to work as slaves for him.
While we were looking around the abandoned homes, I kept using my "search" spell to sense the environment around a large radius of the small town, and I felt a bit of demonic energy entering my threshold.
"Everyone, hide!" I shouted.
Vespera and Yoru jumped inside my shadow while Gina and the warriors hid behind the walls of the broken homes.
