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

"They actually carried out my orders," Tobias said.Tobias sat on a horse belonging to one of the cavalry soldiers in Westreach. He had a clear view of Valestria City, where the main road was filled with people dressed in dark blue.The young man could see it clearly because he was on a hill, seeing a long and majestic military march. Tobias guessed that Liam's army would take one to two hours to get out of Valestria.While Tobias was waiting on the hill watching Valestria, a cavalry soldier arrived with some information. Tobias had previously ordered him to go to the village in the valley.Tobias had just discovered that the village's name was Highvalley, a place where Equestria's traitors grew up.Due to the necessity of war, Tobias would need that village for coordination and strategizing. However, before doing that, he had to ensure everyone in the village was evacuated first.Tobias turned his head to the side, asking about the progress

***"What? Valcke's spy?" asked Laura."That's right. Liam and I were caught by them before. Those spies, they were assigned to kill me," Tobias replied."What a bastard! How dare they betray Equestria," replied Gunnar Muntz, the infantry leader.The bald-headed, muscular man couldn't accept that people were taking advantage of this war. His right hand was clenched into a tight fist, the veins of his strong muscles showing as he pounded on the table in the village hall meeting room.Tobias turned to him, his long black beard and scarred face giving him an authoritative image. The 90,000-man infantry army obeyed, and no one dared resist him."Keep your anger for them. The spies number more than 20," Tobias explained."They're hiding in the hills behind the village. We can't just go there because they've planted many mines," Liam said, pointing to the south where the hill was."Then what's your plan?" asked Edgar Stock, the caval
Divine Sword Art System Chapter 151. Bloodshed In the Hill
Tobias and Liam were right at the bottom of the hill, hanging out with Laura, Gunner, and Karin. That afternoon, they had sent troops into the hill, totalling ten groups.The number of groups was based on the number of paths leading up the hill. There were eight paths and two main roads leading up the hill; the location of each route was different.Not only were the soldiers going up the hill, but Tobias could also see that there were ten soldiers close to Laura, sitting cross-legged with magic circles created under their bodies."These ten will serve as the recipients of the magic messages from their mapping," Laura replied."I've also stationed a soldier in the village hall to do the same, but the difference is that he will print the mapping on large sheets of paper," Laura explained, pointing towards the village hall.Tobias smiled. He understood how they worked. Now, it was just a matter of waiting for the results of their hill mapping.

"I-I'll do it," the woman said.Half-heartedly, she stood up and prepared to lead the way without mines to the Valcke spies' hideout. But Tobias wasn't going there alone.He grabbed her by the neck, dragging her away from the forest to the main road, where Laura was waiting for him, accompanied by Karin."What are you going to do?" the woman asked."Shut up, and don't ask many questions!" said Tobias.The young man continued walking through the hillside forest's bushes and trees until his eyes caught sight of Laura and Karin back to back, guarding their front and behind.Laura sensed suspicious movement from the right side of the forest. The woman had deactivated her area detection magic and replaced it with attack magic. She aimed the activated magic circle at the forest area to the right of her body.Tobias' appearance from the forest surprised them. Laura and Karin initially thought the movement came from the enemy."You sur
