Three Barons

Holy Knight Empire's northern border region, fifty-two miles east of Equinox City

A few hours after Ulrich received Death Blade's report on the abnormal situation in the Kingdom of Black Rose's Sunpeak Region, he found himself standing in front of Holsworthy City, another city ruled by another border lord.

He had immediately departed for Holsworthy City to use one of his hidden cards the moment he sensed an uneasy feeling from Death Blade's report.

As a Peak-level Rank 5 being, which stood at the precipice of mortal limits and just before the divine, Ulrich knew his uneasy feelings didn't just stem from simple paranoia.

His sixth sense told him something had gone terribly wrong, which could threaten his life and position.

As such, he acted with haste.

'I didn't think I'll be using this hidden card so soon,' Ulrich Salazar thought as he glanced at the fortified western entrance of Holsworthy City.
