The next day.
Tobias and his captains had much work to do. The war was indeed over. The victory fully belonged to Archibald. However, in order to preserve this victory, Tobias needed to organize several things.
The most important thing was to keep the government in place. Tobias would run the government from Sungate for the time being while Liam was assigned to the military.
He had already given his first order, telling Jiyu's soldiers to set up border posts in Highvalley. It was the first measure to prevent attacks from Equestria.
Karin walked in carrying a small piece of paper sent through the postal carrier's raven. The woman told Tobias that the message had come from the West. Tobias guessed it was from the expedition team led by Gunnar.
Tobias stretched out his hand, took the letter and read it slowly. It was short but clear and authentic. Gunnar said that he was already in Nashant. Not a single Valcke soldier was there.
"So,

***Two weeks later.A white flag with two eagles flying, one eagle holding a flower, the other a sword, with a ribbon dangling from the right to the left side of the eagle.The writing on the ribbon was suggested by several people, but Tobias decided on it and put the finishing touches on the logo. Finally, the Kingdom of Jiyu flag was complete and flying over the central government offices in Stratham."The last of the food supplies came from Fairspire and Leafvile. With this amount of food, we can survive until the winter is over," Karin replied.They all gathered in the conference room on the second floor of the central government office in Stratham. When Tobias and his troops arrived here, he immediately considered using Archibald's residence as a government centre.He arrived ten days ago. His first order of business was to call together all the leaders of Atrea's towns and cities. There were 23 of them, representatives from each city,
Divine Sword Art System Chapter 187. Credentials Letter
The meeting ended with an important agreement among the city representatives. They are willing to reveal their food supply and share it with other towns in the surrounding area.Five cities would become the main channel of food distribution, starting from Stratham, Langdale, Nashant, Fairspire, and the new city established by the merger of two villages, Ache.Each of these city representatives stood before Tobias. All four swore to be honest and obedient to Tobias' orders. If they were proven to have committed food corruption, they were willing to be removed from their positions and sentenced to death.Tobias will temporarily lead the city of Stratham since the mayor of Stratham chose to return to Valcke. Stratham's food supplies will soon be evenly distributed to neighbouring towns and villages.This was awaiting an inspection by the captain of the troops in several towns. Tobias wanted transparency in this matter, as it affected many people's lives."This meeting is over. You may re

"You have been divided into 20 small teams to go together with the city representatives. Your job is to count the amount of food stored there," Tobias said.The young man returned to the meeting room, speaking before forty of the best and most trusted soldiers each captain had. The distribution of soldiers had already been done. There were a total of 20 small teams that would be going.They hadn't been told anything by their captain about this before, so it was natural for Tobias to see them with such surprised expressions. But because of their job as public servants, they couldn't argue with Tobias' orders."It's getting late. I've asked the city representatives to stay tonight in Stratham before their return. So, I ask you all to be ready tomorrow," Tobias said.Liam was seen handing out sheets of paper, totalling 20, and each team got one. The paper's contents were information related to the identity of the city representatives who would be going with them."From the file you just

***The next day.Tobias was already dressed in his room, wearing a white military shirt and a black furry winter coat. Black trousers and brown men's boots completed his look that dawn.He woke up earlier than everyone else in Archibald Palace; one of the reasons was to keep people from knowing of his departure, even though he would be met by the gatekeepers.The young man stepped out of his room, shook his head right, and left; nobody was there. After getting the mandate letter, Liam decided to take one of the rooms in Archibald Palace that used to be occupied by Luke."They won't know I'm leaving," Tobias said.He walked down the stairs with a steady pace, every single one of his steps echoing in the place he walked through due to the quietness of the place.It was three in the morning. No one would wake up and notice Tobias leaving so early; not even the maids in this place were in sight as far as the eye could see.The hou

Tobias rode until he passed several quietly flowing rivers, frozen tree leaves, and lands covered in deep white snow.He had ridden more than a week from Stratham, had passed Nashant and Sungate. Now, his destination was Fairspire.His appearance was different from when he left. His body was covered in a coat with a hood. It was warmer and thicker, so Tobias didn't feel the cold during the journey.From Sungate, he took a route south, passing over several hills and coming across several small villages that seemed to be surviving. The villagers warmed themselves inside their homes; few went out for a walk.Tobias stopped his horse right beside a man dressed in a heavy furry suit, seen carrying firewood tied to a log that he carried over his right shoulder."Sorry to interrupt you, sir. Is Fairspire far from here?" asked Tobias, removing the cloth that covered half his face, leaving only his eyes."Fairspire? It's behind the second hill. It ta

In the end, the woman couldn't behead Tobias. Her hands kept shaking, and dropped the longsword she was holding. The sword lay before Tobias, the young man picked it up."Don't burden your mind with things from the past. It's a soldier's risk to die on the battlefield," James replied, walking over to the wall of the house and putting the sword into place.Mia couldn't stop crying. She returned to her room, Alfred following wherever his mother went."Please forgive my daughter's behaviour. She is devastated after hearing that her husband was killed in the battle of Sungate," Ulsted said."It's all right. I understand the pain she's going through because I've been there, too," Tobias explained.He returned to his place, picked up his bag and prepared to leave. He thought that he couldn't stay in this place for long after what happened earlier.Tobias was worried that Mia's mental condition would worsen if he stayed there. His best option was t

***The next day.As Tobias walked out of the cave where he had been resting, the dark sky began to turn blue. The sun was slowly rising from the east, easing the stormy snow that had trapped them overnight."It looks like the storm has passed," Tobias said, standing straight in his long-sleeved black T-shirt and long brown pants.He turned his head to the back, looking at Mia, who was still sleeping close to the bonfire that was now just a smoldering coal. She was asleep with Tobias' warm coat half-covered, preventing her from getting cold.With the route approaching Fairspire, Tobias could estimate he would be there in half a day's riding.But there was one job he had to do before going to Fairspire: take Mia back to her home.Hearing the noise of Tobias packing made Mia wake up. She opened her eyes and realized she had fallen asleep wrapped in Tobias' coat."Is it morning already?" Mia asked.Tobias turned his head, looking at Mia with a smile on his face, "Yeah. The storm has pass
Divine Sword Art System Chapter 193. Noisy Night
Tobias arrived at a small inn quite far from the city center, with the road still covered in thick snow.The inn's door opened, revealing two middle-aged female employees in their uniforms, welcoming the young woman who was none other than the innkeeper.Her parents originally owned the inn, but they were killed during Valcke's invasion of Atrea. She was able to go hide and rebuild this inn from scratch with the help of some of her loyal inn staff."Come in," the young woman pleaded, taking off her coat.Tobias had little to say. He entered after clearing his shoes from the snow, taking off his coat and the cloth covering half his face.Now, her face was fully exposed, as well as her hair. The young woman never expected that the person who had saved her was a young man."You're still young. What's your name?" the woman asked, curious.Tobias placed his bag that he had brought from the horseback ride on the wooden sofa chair, "My name
