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,

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
Divine Sword Art System Chapter 194. Two Siblings Encounter
*** One week later. "You boys hurry up and get inside! The snow is bad outside." Mothers yelled at their children to stop playing in the snow in the front yard and go inside. Dad was busy with fireplace work, trying to light a fire on the snow-drenched firewood to warm up the temperature inside the house. Not only did they do that, but all the parents living in Valestria followed them. The Palace no longer provides food support to its citizens. This was done because the Palace was so economical that meeting their needs was so difficult. Because of this policy, many of the people in Valestria were starving. One week away from spring, as it always was. However, there was no sign of winter coming to an end. In fact, some people felt that this week was the peak of winter in Equestria, with winter blizzards occurring during the day, rivers freezing, and cold temperatures creeping into homes. Tobias arrived in Valestria after

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.
