With Tobias in the vanguard, the command center was now in Tobias' hands. Liam was reluctant to take command of the troops if the leader of the Jiyu Kingdom was already nearby.Tobias accepted the transfer of command. He immediately gave a breakthrough in the defense strategy at that place. The human troops were struggling when they had to face an army of monsters with the considerable size of the monsters.Now, Tobias and Liam, along with the other captains of the troops, were gathered in the tent of the commander of the border guard troops. The number of people gathered reached ten, consisting of eight troop captains, and the remaining two people were Liam and Tobias."When do they usually attack?" asked Tobias.He started the discussion before a round table containing

***The next day.Tobias stood firmly in front of the wooden fence that separated the campsite from the uphill road that led to the forbidden area. The vultures were gathering, tearing apart and devouring the bodies of the monsters killed in last night's battle.There was not a single human body there, as Liam had ordered his soldiers last night to collect the bodies of the dead human soldiers and bury them en masse in an area.Liam emerged from one of the tents, wearing no armour, just a long-sleeved T-shirt and long black pants with pockets on the sides. Liam stood beside Tobias with his eyes aimed at the uphill area of the road."Is it time?" asked Liam."Yes. Start digging the

Leena immediately directed the black cloud that carried Tobias to one of the prison cells under the palace, where criminals ranging from scary monsters to other captured humans resided.The woman violently threw Tobias' body, which had been lying on his back on the black cloud, against the prison wall. The forceful impact brought Tobias back to consciousness, his eyes slowly opened and he saw that he was somewhere else."What happened?" asked Tobias, confused by what was happening."Her Grace is taking you to the Astral Palace, located at the centre of the Mythological Kingdom," Leena explained.Tobias tried to stand on his feet, stepping closer to the bars. However, just as his hands were about to grasp the bars, Tobias' body was sent flying by the strong electric curre

"Rise up, Mythology Soldier," Aerith pleaded.Tobias listened to what he had been told. He went from kneeling on the floor to standing firmly in front of Aerith, the woman he had to honour in order to carry out his plan.Aerith's eyes clearly saw the cold, serious face of Tobias. The woman didn't have any power to know if brainwashing magic was working in Tobias' mind, the only way to find out was to bring the man to the frontline.Aerith began to stand on her feet, looking at Tobias with seriousness. Both of her wings spread freely, then she pointed the tips of her wings forward until they gently hit Tobias's shoulders."With the great power that I possess. I, Tel Aerith, as the Dark Elf Queen of the Mythological Kingdom, name you captain of the special forces!" said Aerith.Tobias bowed obediently with his head still pointed downwards. His demeanour was still cold and didn't show anything aggressive or suspicious, as much as possible he wanted to appear casual in front of Aerith and

***The next day.Tobias looked ready with his black military uniform clinging to his body. A furry coat of the same color and his katana sword were already attached to his left waist. The young man stood tall in front of the glass mirror that showed Tobias' body, from his feet to the top of his head. His eyes were serious as he stared into the mirror, as if he was ready to do something with his plan."Today is the day," Tobias muttered.He took a deep breath in one breath, then exhaled slowly. The young man was ready to face the King and Queen of the Mythological Kingdom immediately, ready to receive orders directly from them.Tobias turned around, walking from the mirror to the door of the room. The door opened, there was no one in the palace corridor, only himself coming out. The direction to the throne room was on the right corridor, directly connected to the place where the King and Queen of the Mythological Kingdom were gathered, awaiting Tobias Archibald's arrival. Tobias st
