"I'm John. I didn't mean to—"
"Didn't mean to? You even tore that man's belly open until his organs fell apart!" interrupted the soldier surrounding the killer.
Tobias tried to climb down from the attic where he had chased the man. The young man seemed to be helped down by several soldiers. He turned his head to the right, occasionally looking at the murderer, who was being surrounded by his soldiers.
"You owe us all a lot of explanations!"
The young man approached the murderer, trying to break the ice between his soldiers and him. Tobias ordered his soldiers to take him to the prison, and he would interrogate him in person.
"Bring him out," Tobias ordered.
The soldiers of the village guard carried out Tobias' order quickly. Two soldiers carried the killer's wounded body out of the house while a few others focused on the rest, such as taking care of the dead man's body.
Tobias stepped outside with the other soldiers. He wiped th
They were now inside Tobias' house, avoiding the crowds as much as possible so that no one would know Myrcella was here.It would be dangerous if people knew Myrcella was here. Tobias was worried that someone would tell the Palace and get Tobias arrested.The girl was in the custody of Tobias and Giselle. She was sitting on the long sofa with Giselle while Tobias was still preparing warm drinks for them in the kitchen."He didn't seem to be joking with his threats to me. I'm really scared to return," Myrcella revealed."For now, you hide until the situation is safer," Giselle said.The woman could not give Myrcella good advice. If the girl returned to the Palace, her brother might threaten her life.The best option Myrcella could come up with was to be in this town for a while. Giselle was confident that Tobias could take good care of her.The young man walked over with a tray carrying a filled teapot and three cups. He placed the tra
***Five days later.Myrcella was still in Leafvile town. She was still living in hiding at Tobias' residence. Not a single person knew that King Constantine's daughter was in the same town as them.Tobias told Myrcella not to leave the house without his permission. He did that for one reason so that people would not realize Myrcella's presence in this place.Winter had truly arrived in Leafvile. The fields that had been empty were now completely covered in white snow. The farmers, who didn't go to the fields, chose to go to the mountains to hunt.Some other townspeople, especially the women, were busy preparing everything to organize the Mountain and Moon Festival. They worked hard, led by Elisa.Tobias' work became more leisurely in the winter. His days were filled with patrolling the town with Andrea, watching his soldiers train, and training alone in his backyard.Myrcella was seen on the second floor, precisely in Tobias' room wi
He continued down the hill until Tobias arrived outside the forest, precisely on the road that led to Valestria. Seeing the arrival of thousands of troops from the east made dozens of soldiers guarding the gates of Valestria confused.Although the distance to Westreach would be much faster by taking the Valestria main road, Tobias chose not to take it.Valestria's main street was the most populous and crowded place in Equestria; it was impossible for him to mobilize troops through the city's main street. It would also cause another panic when the city's people saw it.The only route Tobias could take was to go around it to the city in the south of Valestria. Tobias immediately turned his direction to the right, followed by the thousands of cavalrymen behind him."Where are they going?" the soldiers asked, confused."I don't know. You'd better go to the Palace to inform them about this," another soldier pleaded.Not wanting to stay long, the
Tobias chose to walk into the village chief's house, intent on finding Dieter Archibald's and his daughter's whereabouts. He was already at the house's front door, opening it slowly and seeing a heartbreaking situation.The furniture was cluttered out of place, the walls stained with the red color of blood that Tobias suspected came from Dieter and his family."Where is he?" asked Tobias, curious about Dieter's presence.Tobias wiped his bloodstained face with a clean handkerchief as he walked into the house. His eyes kept wandering around, trying to find the whereabouts of Dieter's body.The house had two rooms, one of which seemed open and the other closed. Tobias stopped walking when he reached the room with the open door. He saw an old man's body lying lifeless on the bed with a stab wound in the stomach.From what Tobias remembers, it was definitely Dieter. Valcke's men had apparently killed Dieter first so that the old man wouldn't ignite ang
"You're really stubborn! You will suffer the consequences if you remain selfish in your decisions," Thomas complained.He, along with his entourage, began to leave Westreach. However, this wasn't what Tobias wanted to do.The young man stationed two thousand troops in the village. They were assigned to maintain security and continue searching for other places where the villagers could hide.The rest would go with Tobias to Hooktown. Tobias needed to know the conditions in the town after the attack on Westreach, considering that the town was planned to be used as an entrance to Valcke territory.The young man set off with two thousand men, always on alert for the worst that could happen, just as they had been attacked by Valcke's troops on their arrival at Westreach.From a distance, Tobias and his soldiers didn't see any soldiers guarding the town's entrance, unlike when Tobias and Liam arrived at the place the other day.Tobias stopped his
Tobias kept walking away from the town center on foot. In the distance, he was surprised to see his cavalry waiting at the city entrance.The young man dashed to meet them, though not in the same numbers as before. One of the captains of the cavalry rode up to Tobias, guarding the young man from any possible attack."I thought you were dead," Tobias said."We pulled back as soon as we realized the city was occupied by Valcke's troops. We tried to minimize the clashes," explained the cavalry captain."How many groups haven't returned?" asked Tobias."Of the ten groups formed, two groups have not returned," said the captain.That meant there were 200 cavalrymen still trapped in the city, either surrounded by Valcke's troops or affected by the paralyzing magic of the wizards. However, most importantly, most cavalrymen were safe from death."Send a message to the soldiers in Valestria. Valcke has broken the ceasefire agreement. They've ta
***Liam was still at Leafvile. He had just finished conducting the soldiers' training in the last session of the day. The soldiers immediately dispersed after Liam said their training was more than enough for today.The man looked around, his eyes caught sight of Elisa, who was standing outside an apartment. The woman chose to wait for Liam to finish his job rather than interrupt him."What's the matter?" Liam asked, curious."Is Tobias not back yet?" asked Elisa.Liam shook his head, walking over to the woman while rubbing his palms together, trying to get warm from that afternoon's chilly temperature."It looks like he's guarding the place for a while, considering he managed to repel the Valcke army's attack," Liam explained.Elisa narrowed her eyes, crossing her arms over her chest with her eyes fixed on Liam, "Can't he just ignore the village? There's no impact on Leafvile.""Of course, he can't do that. The fall of Westre
***The next day."I need to check the records at Tobias' residence," Elisa said.She was the busiest person in Tobias' plan for troop mobilization. Given the large number of men he had, she needed to organize the logistics that Tobias' troops would need.To find the right number, Elisa had to calculate it through the record book that Tobias always kept in his residence.She walked up to Tobias' house, opened the door, and to her surprise, discovered that there was a beautiful girl in the house. Earlier, she was sure there was no one in the house."Who are you?" she asked, curious."Is Tobias back yet?" asked Myrcella, worried.Elisa seemed to shake her head slowly, "Tobias won't be back. He's going to lead the great war in the Western lands.""What did you say? The Great War?" asked Myrcella, surprised."Who the hell are you?" asked Elisa.The woman's eyes were fixed firmly on Myrcella. She was really jeal

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.
