( Meanwhile Julien D Evanus )
Just as the DarkSky Guild and Jerome prepared to confront the advancing demon army, Emperor Julien D. Evanus received some of the best news that he had heard in quite some time.
In an unexpectedly fast turn of events, Lieutenant Marcus, stationed at the Eastern Boundary, had urgently contacted the army's central command in the capital using a communication orb and had reported that Ben Faulkner and his disciple, Baron "The Boss," had successfully captured the Demon Whisperer alive.
This piece of information was so sensational, that once the army central command received it, the information was passed on to Julien himself within just five short minutes, as he was provided with the entire transcript of the call.
'Hahaha... Ben fucking Faulkner….. if you look past his rebel nature, there is no better Assassin than that old man around–' Julien thought internally, as he let a rare smile escape his lips.
