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

    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

    "AAAKH!"There was a scream of pain from the room below the stairs. Tobias guessed Gunnar had done something to them.He and the spy woman began to walk closer to the stairs, looking down and witnessing the fight Gunnar was inevitably in."How many people are in this place?" Tobias asked."About six people, including our group leader," replied the woman beside Tobias.The man quickly walked down the stairs. He walked right behind the spy woman, preventing her from escaping. The groans of agony were relentless, growing louder by the second.Just as Tobias arrived at the basement, his eyes saw something horrifying yet tragic. Gunnar's military shirt was stained with the blood of the slain criminals, while Karin and Laura were trying to heal the people who had been kidnapped by this group."What's going on here?" asked Tobias.Gunnar turned his head quickly to Tobias. Now, not only was his face red, but so were his eyes. Gunnar's

    Tobias pulled a wooden chair over to the small prison, allowing the spy group leader Valcke to see him. He came with a cart of scrolls with blue ribbons, about to read and confirm it to the woman."So, the rumors of internal conflict in their kingdom turned out to be true," Tobias replied."It happened in the fifth month after they captured Atrea's territory. Two princes wanted to use the Atrea territory as different bases; the first wanted to use it as a production base, while the second used it as a military base," the woman replied. Tobias knew the name of the woman before him, Enzy."Is this why the dispute within the Valcke Kingdom is over the right to use Atrea's territory?" asked Tobias."More than that," Enzy replied.Enzy's words brought big attention from Tobias, his eyes squinted sharply with his gaze fixed on the woman."More? Is it because they both want power?" asked Tobias. Enzy nodded."The two Valcke princes are twins

    Chapter 255. The Everlasting Promises

    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,

    Chapter 254. Guilt Atonement

    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

    Chapter 253. The Dangers of Sultur

    "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

    Chapter 252. Battle Inside The Palace

    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

    Chapter 251. Northern Gate Assault

    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

    Chapter 250. Rumbling War

    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.

    Chapter 249. Battle under Tree

    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

    Chapter 248. Negotiate with Dwarves

    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.
