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,
Divine Sword Art System Chapter 171. Man in Cage
***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
Divine Sword Art System Chapter 173. Tobias True Heart
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

***The next day."When did he wake up?" asked Gunnar, curious."I don't know. Laura didn't say anything about Tobias' collapse," Karin replied.She had been the one to lead Tobias' healing. Since last night, she had smelled strange scents from Tobias' tent, like a mixture of sweat and something else.She and her soldiers had not been able to determine what had caused Tobias to faint, but the initial suspicion was that it was just the effects of exhaustion from partying from day to night."If he fainted due to exhaustion, it doesn't make sense. He has a strong endurance. He can even defeat hundreds of soldiers in battle and not feel slightly tired," Liam explained.The man knew exactly what Tobias' strength was like, so Karin's reasoning in explaining the cause of Tobias' unconsciousness was irrelevant.In that place, there were only Liam, Gunnar, and Karin. Edgar was seriously conversing with Laura about the effects of Tobias' unconsciousness."Today should be the day we plan additio

***The next day."Is he awake yet?" asked Liam, entering Tobias' tent.Liam could see Karin and some medics in the area, as well as Laura, who had asked Karin for permission to continue keeping Tobias company. This was the third day Tobias had been unconscious, which coincided with the plan to attack Sungate Castle.Karin shook her head. Tobias' body temperature kept getting warmer. An IV was injected into Tobias' body to prevent the young man from dehydrating during his unconsciousness.The news that Tobias had been unconscious for several days made the captains and other soldiers anxious, especially those who had previously fought alongside Tobias. They realised that losing Tobias would be a major blow to the troop."What should we do?" asked Karin."The engineer troops have completed their work. The two siege towers are ready to go," Liam replied, signalling that the troops should be ready to take to the battlefield."Time

***Two days later"I gathered you to finalize our previous plan. Our encampment location is already close enough to Sungate Castle's location. From what I saw on Atrea's map, Sungate Castle is behind that hill," Liam replied.It took about half an hour to cross the hill to reach Sungate Castle. Archibald's troops, who had just arrived at that point, made it impossible to launch an immediate attack.Liam sat on the floor right in Tobias' tent. All the captains were in the same place, without exception. They were now following Liam's words, as Tobias could still not serve due to his coma."Darren said Sungate is one of three places Valcke's troops are heavily guarding. I'm going to make the most of this. If we can take it, Valcke will be even more put under pressure," Liam replied.The Vice Commander of Archibald's troops wandered his gaze, looking at Edgar, who was in charge of reconnoitering. The activity would significantly affect the flow
Divine Sword Art System Chapter 177. Sungate's Red Sky Rumbles
***The troops were ready when it was five o'clock in the morning. Yellowish light appeared from the east, making the blue sky rise as a sign of a new day.Liam sat on his horse, accompanied by the other captains, including Karin. The tents in the camp had been cleared except for Tobias' tent. The soldiers were wearing their dark blue armor to prepare for battle.From the front, Liam watched Edgar and Gunnar arrive at the camp. Liam deliberately sent them away for good reason. The man wanted to know the circumstances at Sungate Castle that morning."All the guard posts have been destroyed. Sungate Castle's gates are sealed; it looks like they're ready for battle," Edgar explained, stopping his horse right before Liam and the other captains."What about the soldiers guarding the logistics line?" Liam asked Gunnar."They're still keeping a vigilant watch. If something bad happens there, we'll know about it," Gunnar replied."Alright. Ev

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.
