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
Hearing Tobias' story about being charged as a kidnapper came as a shock to Elisa. She had never seen any traits of a criminal in Tobias, especially since he had helped her a lot in restoring Leafvile village to a better condition.Elisa gave her opinion on the issue several times. Most of them said that the people accusing Tobias had hatred for the young man."Is it possible that they just hate you so much that they dare to make such assumptions so that others will hate you too," Elisa said. Tobias cleared his throat softly as he leaned back, which could also be the reason why Tobias was always getting into trouble in the South."I guessed as much, considering the arrest warrant came from Edgar Ludwig. I have a bad relationship with that man," Tobias replied."What is it?" asked Elisa.Tobias took one long breath. The story he was about to tell might sound long and shocking to Elisa, but she needed to know since they labeled him a kidnapper.<
"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
Elena told Tobias to start moving after Benjamin, heading for the lab of the middle-aged man. Elena wanted the medicine available today for King Constantin to consume immediately.She didn't want to wait any longer, or else King Constantine's condition could worsen. Tobias nodded. He would follow Elena's words and make it for the King as soon as possible.Although his heart still felt upset with Tobias, Benjamin couldn't reject his queen's order. He walked first without telling Tobias to follow him. Elena also seemed to have ordered two soldiers to keep an eye on them. She feared the two would fight again when unattended in Benjamin's lab.Two soldiers in black armor followed Tobias from behind, while Tobias alone walked behind Benjamin, who occasionally went down the stairs. The location of Benjamin's lab was in the basement. It was done to prevent further adverse effects, such as an explosion or the spreading of poisonous gas.Along the way to the basem
***Evening.It was getting quieter than it had been during the day. Tobias arrived at the village chief's residence, greeted by Elisa, who seemed awake since a few hours before sunset.Tobias took off his black coat, sat down on the sofa, and sighed. The events he had experienced this afternoon at the White Palace had exhausted him physically.Elisa took good initiative. She came out of the kitchen, walking with both hands carrying a tray filled with a teapot and two glasses. The inside of the clay pot was her homemade orange juice.The young man opened his eyes, seeing Elisa coming to the long sofa he was sitting on. She placed the tray on the wooden table, pouring orange juice into a glass for Tobias."What did they discuss at the palace?" asked Elisa, curious that Tobias had been gone for so long.Tobias turned his head slowly, his tired eyes looking at the woman beside him. What happened in the palace shouldn't be known to the pu
"You don't seem to think I exist, Tobias," Thomas explained."If I think that way, I probably wouldn't want to talk to you right now," Tobias said."The important thing for you to do is to take good care of your tiger. You don't want to lose it, do you?" Tobias asked.Thomas wandered around, looking at the house where Tobias had come out with Elisa. The man failed to get any information from Tobias, the young man's self-defense being quite strong, even when Thomas threatened him by using his title as successor to the throne."Is there anything else you would like to discuss with me?" asked Tobias, standing tall with his eyes looking out over the farm, brightened by the oil lamps illuminating the place.The prince turned his head away quickly, taking in the farmland that was one of the most productive areas in the western region. Thomas had absolutely no more to talk to Tobias about.Without a single word, Thomas walked away, leaving Tobias b
"Why? You have the highest authority in all of Equestria. You are as powerful as King Constantine," Tobias explained.Elena sighed. She knew very well that her power was so great in all of Equestria. However, Elena thought of the risk Equestria would take if she mobilized a large army from each region.Every region would be short of soldiers, causing the defense to be so fragile. Elena was worried that Valcke would use the opportunity to start a new invasion of regions other than Atrea."Your request could cause the stability of security to be threatened in Equestria. The deployment of a large army will be followed by other kingdoms, resulting in a major war in the Atrea region," Elena replied.Tobias listened carefully. What the woman before him said was true. The other regions wouldn't have enough defenses if another attack from kingdoms outside Equestria occurred.The young man nodded, understanding the risk Elena was referring to. Tobias took a
***Four months later.The commander of the city guard rode swiftly, riding a horse from the Leafvile City gate to Tobias' residence. The hurried arrival of the man in silver armor raised many questions in the heads of the townspeople.He was riding fast through the Leafvile City's main street for a specific reason. From the information he received from his soldiers in the watchtower, they said a group of forces with armor and swords was walking in a neat line toward Leafvile.A soft knock on the door of Tobias' house startled the people inside. Tobias, who was sitting in his chair, turned his head slowly toward Elisa.Without wasting any time, Elisa nodded her understanding. She walked over to the house's wooden door and opened it quickly to see a well-built man dismounting from his horse."What is it, Andrea?" asked Tobias."I'm sorry to disturb your work, Lord Tobias. There is a large group of soldiers on a long march to Leafvile,"
"Wait? Troop mobilization? Isn't it too early to do that right now?" asked Elisa."I can't wait any longer, Elisa. I'm afraid that if we don't use this opportunity, it will put a stop to my plans," Tobias explained."But war must be a drawn-out affair; it could take months. If you insist on fighting now, your troops will starve in the middle of winter," said Elisa.Tobias stopped what he was doing, setting up wooden bows in several eastern regions. He raised his head, looking at Elisa, who was standing next to Liam.It was indeed fall this month, the leaves falling from the trees. Farming was in full swing, storing up food supplies for the three months of winter."What's wrong, Tobias?" asked Liam."Her words stopped me in my tracks. What she said could be an issue in the assault on Atrea's territory," Tobias explained."That's why I asked you not to mobilize the troops to the east. Do it when winter is over," Elisa pleaded.To
The journey of Tobias Archibald, aka Taichi Hayashi, finally ends. You'll have to keep reading until the end to see if the ending suits you or not. But for me, the ending was exactly what I wanted. Several months of exhausting struggle with sweat, fighting sleepiness, spending leisure and playtime to deliver a good story has finally been done. I am so grateful to those of you who always followed this story from beginning to end. I'm glad you can find the value of the messages I've embedded in this story.

For those already fond of fantasy and magic, you can read on with t
Tobias looked faintly behind him, seeing thousands of human troops trying to chase Renna, who flew quickly to the east, back to the border area between the Forbidden Territory and the Human Territory.Tobias' right hand could be seen tightly grasped by Renna's left hand, while Aurora could be seen carried by the right. The two people left the place at high speed."I did exactly what you wanted. What's next?" asked Renna, curious.Renna continued flying with the help of her two black wings. Directed forward with the condition that she had left the troops of mankind.While flying freely, Renna occasionally glanced back, trying to ascertain Tobias' next plan.However, Tobias did not show any response, still silent, with both eyes directed forward to the rocky mountains rather than Renna's sights.As Renna flew over the rocky mountains, the lush green countryside with trees was clearly visible in Tobias' eyes. It indicated that Tobias was now in human territory."Where are you taking me,
Aerith did not hesitate to attack Tobias with all the power she had, with the mana capacity the woman had not so much anymore, the impact of the previous use of the palace's protective magic."Akihiko! Listen to me," Tobias insisted, asking Aerith to talk to him."You killed my husband! I won't forgive you," Aerith cried.With two magic circles appearing in front of Aerith's palms, dark black magic balls with a reddish-black color rushed towards Tobias' body.Tobias was able to deflect them easily, using his katana sword as if he was playing a game of baseball with Aerith. The magic balls flew in random directions, then exploded with a significant blast.Aurora looked terrified, taking cover behind Aerith's back with both Aurora's eyes closed. Tobias occasionally looked at Aurora, the little girl shouldn't be in a place like this."You shouldn't let Aurora see this fight," Tobias pleaded.Aerith stopped her attack on Tobias, looked back and saw Aurora who was trembling in fear with bo
"So, you want to get in my way?" asked Tobias, pointing his sword forward."No one is allowed to come near our King and Queen!" groaned one of the werewolves.It leapt powerfully forward, both hands and feet full of claws. Tobias parried each of the werewolf's claws with his katana, the monster's attacks were powerful enough, but not enough to defeat Tobias.Not only by itself, but the werewolf seemed to be assisted by several people, two representatives of the superior races in the Mythological Kingdom. A centaur walked over with his right hand pulling out a large sword, swinging at Tobias' head.Tobias was pushed back, the blade of his katana was blocking the attack of the monster's claws before him, so he had nothing to do but put his faith in the golden armor he wore. Tobias spun around, seemingly turning his back to the werewolf without changing the grip of the sword in his right hand. Tobias' left hand stretched out to the side, blocking the centaur's sword strike with the fing
Tobias was still seated on his horse, focusing both eyes forward to the Mythology Kingdom palace where Aerith and the other officials were taking refuge.Liam was now near Tobias, focusing equally on the palace. Liam's eyes narrowed, never before had he seen people from different races in the Forbidden Territory come together to fight humanity."Are we going to fight them all?" Liam asked."If we don't want the chain of hatred between the two sides to grow again, then we must fight them," Tobias said firmly.He dismounted, stepping closer to the palace gates that seemed to be protected by something. The people inside the palace were on alert, especially after seeing the man in golden armor walking closer.Tobias' hand stretched forward, trying to touch the magic barrier. Just as his fingers made contact, a spark of electricity and fire was created that startled Tobias.Tobias' eyes squinted hard, seeing the white smoke from his finger's contact with the magic wall."Are you okay?" ask
Hearing Tobias' impassioned cry made all the soldiers flare up with excitement. They shouted loudly, raising their swords, bows and spears in the hope that the war would end in this battle.Gunnar led the troops that would attack at the center gate. Their main goal was not to penetrate that place, but rather to distract the Mythology Kingdom's troops from the north gate.Just as Edgar led the troops to attack the southern gate. In this battle, three armies of humanity will besiege the capital from three entry points: north, center, and south.Gunnar led the army with Adrian and Karin, while Edgar was alone with Laura. However, Tobias had asked Laura to use her illusion magic. He wanted the mythology troops to know that Tobias was in the troops attacking the southern gate.The focus of the Mythology Kingdom troops will be on Tobias, because only he can determine the course of this war. If Laura managed to display Tobias' projection at the southern gate, then it was certain that the Myt
Seeing that the banyan tree territory was completely controlled by the dwarves made Tobias' heart happy. The dwarves shouted with joy, some cried with emotion while hugging each other.One of the lead dwarves walked up to Tobias. He raised a hat similar to a magic cone and lowered it while bowing his head.Not only did he do this, but the other dwarves did the same. They paid their highest respects to Tobias, who was a human, in his attempt to reclaim the sacred place for them."Thank you, Mr. Tobias. We dwarves will always be indebted to humans," the dwarf replied.Tobias, who was still sitting upright on his mount, dismounted, stepped up to the dwarf and reached forward, asking both parties to shake hands."Welcome to your true home. Keep your promise not to participate in this war," Tobias said.The dwarf cast both eyes downward, looking at Tobias' right hand that was pointed forward. The dwarf in front of Tobias smiled widely with a nod of his head, shaking Tobias with both hands.
In the end, Tobias agreed with the dwarves on a plan of attack. However, the dwarves wanted to give a special condition. They wanted when the attack on the Mythological Kingdom Capital happened, he wanted all the dwarves to have left their city.In short, they wanted Tobias to liberate the promised area immediately. Once the area was free of wild elves, then Tobias could freely attack the capital.Gunnar, who happened to still be beside Tobias, spontaneously asked about the requirement. Tobias turned his face to the side, staring intently at the man."We'll carry out the terms well," Tobias said."But with whom? It will take about half a day to mobilize the troops there," Gunnar replied.Tobias shook his head as his eyes star
Tobias' head kept moving to the right and left, seeing how many Mythology troops were guarding the gate of the capital connected to the city of the dwarves.Not so much; there were probably only about 1000 people, in contrast to the gate in the center where there were probably about 5000 to 10,000 mythological troop soldiers.Liam and Gunnar did the same, looking around the surrounding area as Tobias had done. However, they were not paying attention to the soldiers above the gate but to the dwarves in that place."If the dwarves fight too, then we'll have a hard time," Liam replied softly."You're right. The dwarves are good at using magic. Their abilities are almost comparable to the elves," Renna added, turning her head to the side to look at Tobias.
