The next day
The 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

***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."

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.

*** The next day. Activities in Fairspire returned to normal. The townspeople were no longer afraid when they saw Archibald's flag waving on the watchtowers at the four entrances to the city. Some curious children walked to the entrance in the west, wanting to see tens of thousands of troops camped on the snow. Seeing his companion sleeping on the ground made Darren feel sorry for him. He had told the city staff to find empty houses for Tobias's troops, but almost all the houses were already occupied by townspeople. "You don't need to do that. By camping together it brings the troop leader closer to his own troops," Tobias replied, talking to Darren in the western area after the entrance. Valcke's thousands of prisoners of war had finished their work. With hundreds of houses repaired and occupied, Edgar told them to leave the area without weapons. "Are you sure?" asked Darren, trying to make sure. "I'm sure. After all,

***Evening.All the captains were back together as before, as well as Tobias and Liam. They were all gathered in Tobias' tent to discuss their next plan for the Sungate."How's the siege tower progress?" asked Tobias, turning his head to look at Adrian."About 80%. We just need to finish the top," Adrian said."How many days until it's all done?" asked Tobias.Adrian swallowed his saliva, trying to calculate the possibility of the siege tower being completed quickly, "About 3-4 days.""Alright, that's enough," replied Tobias."Use the trees around to build it," Liam explained.The man nodded his head, fully aware of the task ahead of him. The squad would only leave for Sungate if the siege tower was completed. All eyes were drawn to the wooden table in front of them, with the map of Atrea laid out clearly on the table."We will begin our meeting," said Tobias. All the captains, along with Liam, nodded their heads.Tobias began to place pawns in the conquered cities, including Fairspi

"You'll never win against Valcke," Gabriel said.Tobias didn't respond to the man's words. He was more focused on Liam, who was next to him. Even though they would be handed over to Valcke as a medium of negotiation, Tobias needed to take good care of them.The young man certainly didn't want the negotiations with Valcke to fail just because the three died. They would be properly fed and watered, and Tobias didn't forget to give orders to his soldiers to always clean the cages."You seem so sure you're gonna leave Equestria," Liam said."There's not a single reason that makes me think I should fight for Equestria. The arrogance they show makes me sick!" groaned Tobias, glancing sarcastically at Gabriel, who continued to stare at him intently.Tobias called out to the two soldiers guarding the carriage, they stepped in tandem towards Tobias. Both of them stood straight in front of the leader of Archibald's army, ready to receive orders from him."You keep watch over the three men. I do

The party continued into the night; the soldiers built a sizable campfire and drank around it. Many of the captains returned to their tents, tired and wanting to rest their bodies.Liam was the same; he went to say goodbye to Tobias. Tobias nodded, allowing Liam to leave. Now, Tobias was the only one there, just wanting to warm himself up by facing the large campfire.Shortly after the captains and Liam left, Captain Laura came out of her tent. She was still wearing a simple T-shirt and trousers. However, her face looked much prettier thanks to the make-up she put on.She walked over to Tobias, still sitting on a tree trunk, drinking a glass of hot tea as he warmed himself by the fire. The woman immediately sat down with Tobias."Did you enjoy the party?" Laura asked, Tobias smiling as he raised his glass."At least I can relax today before the hard days of battle come," Tobias replied."Let's talk about this in your tent," Laura pleaded, st

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.
