The city government office doors opened, the people in the meeting room immediately turned their eyes to the young man who just arrived. Tobias smiled, stepping inside and waving at them.
"Sorry, I'm late. There are a few things I need to do first," Tobias explained.
Laura turned her body around, facing him fully, "Let me guess, you went to visit those three, right?"
"I've never doubted a sorcerer's guess," Tobias complimented, causing Laura to blush and giggle.
The young man moved on until he reached his chair, the one in the center of the table. Edgar began to open the discussion, Laura, Tobias, and the squad's soldier leader began to listen.
"Now that we've taken the city, it wouldn't be a bad idea to start discussing the plan to attack Silkland," Edgar replied.
He took a medium-sized scroll of paper from below, unfurling it on the meeting table where it was a map of the western region, Atrea. Tobias could see the map clearly, as well as

***Three days later.After days of marching and camping in the open fields with his troops, Tobias finally reached the forest area near Silkland.As he had expected, the city was completely unguarded by walls. However, the young man could catch several Valcke soldiers' movements.Tobias couldn't be sure of their number, but he knew that every entrance to the city was guarded by three to five soldiers.Laura was still near Tobias, as was Edgar. The three were prepared for any eventuality, especially Laura, who had been studying illusionary magic spells with her soldiers on the way to the city."A peaceful little city," Tobias said.He turned his head sternly, looking at Laura seriously, "Are you ready?"Laura nodded. She stretched her arms forward, followed by the hundreds of magical troops standing behind her, "You'd better stay back. I don't want anything bad to happen to my spellcasting."Tobias and Edgar, who were still sitting upright on their horses, nodded obediently at the wom

The sign that his sword technique was active was the katana blade emitting a sparkling white light. The young man knew what he had to do now.Because the distance was too far, Tobias jumped high toward the hundreds of Valcke troops chasing him. The sight of him jumping so fast towards them gave the soldiers time to duck out of the way.He landed on the ground in the middle of the hundreds of Valcke troops surrounding him. Grinning smiles were displayed on the soldiers' faces, mocking Tobias by saying his actions were foolish.[First Phase: Black Moon]A white aura began to emanate from Tobias' body, but it didn't make the soldiers flinch. They boldly ran towards the young man with strong, shrill shouts. Tobias closed his eyes, preparing to use his technique.A white aura appeared, and a large black circle continued to expand from under Tobias' feet until it reached a diameter of thirty meters.The size of the circle was much larger than before, so it could trap dozens of Valcke soldie
Divine Sword Art System Chapter 164. Time to Cooling Down
The battle was still going on that day when Tobias was recovering from the exhaustion caused by using Myurajin Moon's ultimate technique. Laura was also seen helping out as she recovered faster, thanks to the mana-restoring pills the medics had given her.She continued to fight together with her troops, using her main ability of magic to defeat the Valcke soldiers, who were not unyielding.Captain Edgar had shown the soldiers the head of the Valcke troop leader in the city, but they chose not to believe him and focused on withstanding the attacks from Tobias' troops.The battle was inevitable; casualties fell from both sides, but Valcke's troops in the city were the worst affected.Not only were they fighting without a chain of command, but the presence of all kinds of troops on Tobias' side made it difficult for the infantry to fight back.After recovering, Tobias was able to participate in the war again. However, the medic warned him not to go ov

***The next dayThe situation in Silkland City slowly became more favourable. Right when morning came, thousands of Valcke troops who were prisoners of war began to do their job, repairing the building conditions.The large number of Valcke troops required Edgar to alert as many troops as the number of prisoners. They were scattered to various places in the city with pre-determined tasks.Edgar and Laura were still inside the city, unlike Tobias, who was already outside the Silkland area, more precisely outside the south gate.He stood watching the city of Fairspire from a distance, accompanied by two soldiers on either side of him. Until now, Tobias hadn't seen any attack on the city, as planned earlier."What exactly are you looking at, Lord Tobias?" asked one of the soldiers, tired of waiting for Tobias since sunrise."Can you go there and do some spying for me?" asked Tobias."I-I can't. It's not my thing," said the soldie

***A week later."Some of the buildings have been repaired; almost 70% of the total number of buildings destroyed in the battle," Edgar explained.The man stood firmly beside Tobias, both of them looking at the three-story building that was now in the finishing stages of repair. The hundred prisoners of war working on the site were well supervised."With numbers like this, the city will be finished and ready for habitation by the day after tomorrow," Edgar said.Tobias nodded, his arms crossed over his chest, "Good. So what about the condition of our troops?""They're in good condition; not a single soldier has taken up residence in the city buildings," Edgar replied."I ordered them to stay in the campsite; they didn't protest," Edgar said."Thank goodness for that," Tobias replied.Now, Edgar and his troops were in charge of the prisoners of war's work, while Laura and her troops were focused on guarding the five entr
Divine Sword Art System Chapter 167. Order to Return
***The next dayTobias left his tent on a horse, riding steadily until he reached the southern entrance.From the entrance gate guarded by several soldiers, Tobias could see tens of thousands of troops in dark blue armor standing tall in neat lines, facing south.The galloping of horses could be heard from the direction of the forest road, and Laura looked back, as did Edgar. They both saw Tobias arrive in a military shirt without his furry coat."How are the soldiers prepared?" Tobias asked."They're ready, although there's an inevitable fight in there," Edgar replied."And what about guarding the prisoners of war in Silkland?" asked Tobias, turning to Laura, for it was Laura's group's turn to watch over the prisoners today.Laura nodded, bringing her seated body to the mount in front of Tobias, "I've already imposed strict punishments on them. If anyone tries to rebel, my troops have been allowed to kill them on the spot."

"Glad to hear it. At least they won't be homeless," Darren replied.Tobias nodded. He was sure they would be happy to return to the city, even if the war destroyed some places.After watching the refugees in the east for a while, Darren invited Tobias to step back into the city.So far, there was no significant threat to Tobias, which indicated Darren had no other intention than to put himself and the city into Archibald's hands."Where are we going?" asked Tobias, curious."We're going to the city government offices, where we'll discuss many things," Darren replied.Tobias looked to the left and right of him, right between the two bodyguard soldiers who seemed to be walking to guard their leader. Occasionally, Tobias focused on the shops on either side of the road.Darren glanced slowly at Tobias as the young man watched the food and clothing stores on his left, "Since the war, many of the demands of these stores cannot be met."
Divine Sword Art System Chapter 169. Fairspire From Archibald
Two hours later.The sun rolled down the sky, indicating the passing of time and the coming of night. Edgar and Laura were still outside Fairspire, intently watched by thousands of city guards."We've been waiting for two hours. Is Tobias okay?" Edgar asked Laura."There's no sign of chaos from within the city. It looks like Tobias is fine-"BOMB!A powerful explosion occurred in the city, creating a huge black cloud. Looking at the town with worried expressions instantly drew Edgar and Laura's attention."Is it a signal from Tobias?" asked Edgar."I don't know for sure, but I have a bad feeling about those black smoke plumes," Laura replied.Full of courage, Edgar walked up to the city guard's leader. Edgar asked him to allow him and Laura to enter to ascertain the explosion's origin."No one can enter until the two leaders return," the man explained."Do you realize who you're dealing with?!" groaned Edgar.
