"So, you conspired with Edgar to arrest me? I didn't kidnap her after all!" explained Tobias, trying to be defensive."No thief would ever confess. I'd rather do Edgar's bidding than let you go," replied the woman in the leaf-green dress, pointing rudely at Tobias."Are you a fool? Look at her! Did I do something bad to that girl?!" snapped Tobias.The woman turned around, looking at Felicia, who didn't seem to have suffered any violence from Tobias. Her body was in good condition. There were no bruises nor any traumatized look from the woman.She seemed to be walking toward Felicia, her delicate and graceful hands reaching out to grasp Felicia's arm. Terrified by what had happened, Felicia began to back away, approaching Tobias, who was frozen with his legs shackled by the tree roots."See, she's more afraid of you than me," Tobias snapped.The woman sensed the fear in Felicia's heart. She feared that just because the woman before her had brutally killed Tobias' troops, she would hat

The chaos ensued in the city center, many Carlisle City soldiers began to prepare for the worst. The citizens, especially children, and women, began to be evacuated in turn to the bunkers provided by the city government.Leonora, her mother, and several high-class mages in the city began to gather, forming a circle in a magic research tower. They gathered to pool their mana to protect the city by creating a magical barrier.[Magic Skill: Nature's Protective Wall]Transforming the roots that spread out to form a dome required at least twenty people with high magic power to bring up the protective magic. Only 10 people with high magic power had been gathered; it was only a matter of waiting for the remaining 10 people to form the perfect protective dome.The relentless attack was launched by Tobias' troops. Liam led the attack, hoping Adelard could release Tobias and return the young man to them.Jeremias went out from his residence, stepping with th

***Five hours later."His condition is getting better. I have closed the wound on his belly," explained the medical unit leader, explaining Tobias' treatment process to Liam."What on earth happened to him?" asked Liam, curious."I don't know, but my guess is that he's suffering from exhaustion and lack of blood," the woman replied.The two stood facing each other next to the bed where Tobias lay. His condition wasn't as severe as that of a soldier fighting on the front lines, but the accumulation of fatigue, stress, and wounds on Tobias' body worsened his condition."When will he wake up?" Liam asked."I don't know, maybe tomorrow or the day after; maybe sooner," said the woman.She said goodbye to Liam, going to another patient who needed her treatment. Liam alone was standing by Tobias' bed, waiting for the man to wake up. He pulled out a wooden chair and sat down as he continued to watch Tobias' face closely."What

***Two weeks later.Tobias' army came to a crossroads in the forest, close to Rachdale and Valestria. Tobias rode at the front of the line, accompanied by Liam, who kept the young man company.Tobias took the northern route rather than the eastern one leading directly to Valestria. The cold temperature meant that Tobias, Liam, and the soldiers had arrived at the place Tobias was heading for.There were open-box carriages carrying vegetables and fruits to the nearest city. The horse driver looked amazed and surprised because the large troop walked neatly toward Leafvile.The forest passes, Tobias smiles as he returns home, as does Liam, who is stunned by the vast farmland and plantations in Leafvile. The truth about Tobias solving the food crisis cannot be denied anymore.From afar, Tobias and Liam look ahead, watching the welcome sign and the entrance to Leafvile. The farmers stopped what they were doing when they saw Tobias' arrival and th

"You can cure him? How?" asked Elena. It was natural for her to ask, given that none of the royal physicians had figured out a method to heal their King. Tobias didn't speak out of turn when it came to healing the King of Equestria. He had seen a similar condition suffered by the man. The cause was the same, namely the dangerous poison in the arrows. A few herbal medicines were all he needed, pounded together until they were ready to be served as a potion. However, the condition shown by the King of Equestria wasn't good, he had been in an awful state for five days, and there wasn't a single medicine that could cure his illness. "I know some traditional healing methods. I learned them a long time ago," said Tobias. "What are those methods? Can you tell me?" asked one of the physicians, feeling slighted by Tobias' claim to be able to cure King Constantine's condition. "Even if I told you, you wouldn't believe it," Tobias explained. "I'm
