In order to save time, many chose to pass through the Khrim Forest. With the powerful perception of the unicorn, he was confident that he could bypass the huge army of the undead.
But soon, many who passed through the forest found that the undead in the Khrim Forest seemed to have disappeared. Perhaps his perception range was limited. In short, from the moment he entered the Khrim Forest to the moment he walked in a straight line, there was not a single undead in his perception range!
This phenomenon was very strange. But many had to get to Sibor first and were not interested in investigating.
After passing through the Khalim Forest, many of them made a trip to Sirius City. Although the huge unicorn attracted a lot of attention, those who wore the Baron's emblem were not stopped by anyone and went to Sirius Palace.
However, many of them didn't directly request an audience with Emperor Charnak because it would be too abrupt. Therefore, many of them chose a tactful attitude. He wrote a letter and handed it to an official who handled letters from the nobles.
Emperor Charnak was an open-minded emperor. He encouraged the nobles to give advice. Of course, this sounded good, but no one knew how much advice the nobles, who only cared about their own interests, could give, and how much he listened to.
However, many of them still wrote down his suspicions about the undead possibly coming from another plane. Since he was a Baron of the Empire, this kind of important information that could affect the entire Empire had to be reported.
Then, many quickly left Sirius City. They did not even stay for a night. They traveled day and night to Sibor.

A few days passed quickly. When many travel-worn people arrived at Sibor's territory, they found it to be a desolate scene.
As it had snowed here, there were still piles of white snow. But because it was the first snowfall, most of the snow had melted. The air was cold, and many could not help but tighten their cloaks.
The villages on the outskirts of Sibor were barren. Many saw that there was not a single person in the villages. It was a lifeless scene from afar. Looking around, there was not even the usual smoke rising from the chimneys of the nearby villages. There were not even the usual sounds of chickens crowing and dogs barking.
Many of them sensed and found that all the villages were empty!
They continued to advance towards Sibor Castle. Many of them arrived before the city before nightfall, and they finally understood why the village was empty.
From afar, he could smell the stench of rotting corpses. Because of the cold air, the smell mixed with the cold air and rushed straight to his head.
These specters were a little strange.
Many of them felt like they weren't here to attack the city, but to throw their lives away!
Without the help of siege towers and large siege weapons, it would be a fool's dream to take down such a tall city with a force that was less than 10 times that of Sibor.
Gu Shuyun surrounded the city from ten directions. To take down a city, one must have an absolute advantage in terms of military strength. Otherwise, it would be easy for the defenders to exhaust them with the help of the tall city walls.
Many did not understand the tactics of this era of cold weapons, but they still understood the basics. There was no airstrike or cannons to support them, and if they wanted to take over a city, they could only break through the outer and inner city layer by layer and occupy it.
It seemed that Sibor had no problem dealing with the attack of the undead.
The city gates were wide open. As soon as they entered the city, they felt an unprecedentedly high mood pervading the entire Sibor Castle. As the walls were erected to clear the fields, the civilians in the outer areas had migrated to Sibor Castle. Therefore, there were more people here than before. People walked on the streets, preparing for the last rations before the arrival of winter. It seemed that the people in Sibor had defeated the undead, and their faces were more or less filled with joy.
The tall unicorns attracted the attention of many people. However, the dark-red cloaks and the Baron insignia on their chests made them stay where they were.
Many didn't keep a low profile like Sith Castle. This place was no longer a threat to him. Birkins' assets had been completely handed over to the Quel Trading Company. In fact, to put it bluntly, it was given to Elena. As for why he didn't transfer the assets directly to his name, Many thought that it must be used to its fullest potential.
Although Birkins' assets were bountiful, there would come a day when they would run out of money. It was better to directly hand it over to the person in charge of the largest trading company in the continent as a huge gift. Due to the relationship between Elena and Noda, Many wasn't worried that the trading company would run away with the money or go back on their word.
They couldn't fight a war, and they couldn't earn money.
Many naturally understood this logic.
After arriving at the Quel Trading Company's base with ease, Many dismounted from his horse, shook his cloak, adjusted his collar, and entered the inn that he had been away from for a long time.
The damage caused by Chris and the damage caused by the fight between Carolina and Madam Vasaki had been repaired. The inn now looked brand new.
"The guest rooms are all full. This inn — uh … Lord Baron, is there anything I can do for you?"
Many pushed the door open. The waiter at the door wanted to speak according to the rules, but when he saw the insignia on Many's chest, he immediately changed his words.
"I want to look for Miss Elena of Quel Trading Company. Tell her that Many is looking for her."
Many didn't mind and looked around with some emotions. When he was still a mercenary, he had bargained with Victoria Count in this place. Now that he had returned here again, he already had the identity of a noble baron of the Empire. Speaking of which, the world was really unpredictable.
