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

Divine Sword Art System Chapter 195. Awaiting Giselle Decision
Even though Tobias had made it clear, there was no expression of happiness on Giselle's face. Giselle's mind kept wandering, searching for a solution to what had just happened.Tobias' decision to establish a new kingdom is his right, considering he fought there in Archibald's name. The impact of his decision was what would occur to Giselle and her workers."What's wrong?" asked Tobias."Nothing," said Giselle.Tobias' eyes squinted hard, his forehead furrowed as he continued to look at Giselle sitting next to him. The wooden door to Giselle's study opened, revealing the figure of Marcela, who came in wearing a thin purple nightgown."Tobias!" Marcela greeted.Tobias turned around, but before he could look at Marcela, she had already embraced him tightly. The scent of expensive perfume drugged Tobias' mind; he almost lost control of Marcela's body."You're thinner than I remember, Tobias," Marcela said."The journey from Strath

Evening."Is there something bothering you?" Tobias asked.He arrived at Giselle's study after bathing himself in warm water for half an hour. The aches and pains in his body instantly disappeared after Tobias did that.Wearing only shorts, Tobias arrived at Giselle's study as well as her bedroom. His eyes are immediately drawn to his sister, who looks pensively at the snow falling outside her brothel.Giselle turned her body around, looking at Tobias with a sad face. Tobias understood the expression on Giselle's face and began to walk over to her."Nothing. I'm just worried about my ladies," Giselle said."Are you afraid they won't be able to live as happily as they do now?" asked Tobias. Giselle nodded lightly."When I took them all in, they told me their lives were tough. Right after working with me, their lives were put back in order," Giselle replied.Tobias cleared his throat softly, realizing that Giselle must love them as much as their mother did. The young man also felt guilt
Divine Sword Art System Chapter 197. Two House Meets
***Two weeks later.The turning seasons came as Tobias made his way to Carlisle. Riding swiftly, he made it close to the southern region's capital, ruled by the House of Adelard.The flowers were blossoming on the first day of the second week of spring, and the weather in the south was getting warmer. As far as the eye could see, Tobias couldn't find a single pile of snow left.Tobias was still riding at a slow pace. He was no longer hurrying to reach Carlisle after seeing his pamphlets spread all over Equestria five days ago.The young man stopped his horse beside a wooden signpost often used to deliver orders. The command to capture Tobias Archibald was clearly displayed. The reward for the arrest of Tobias alive was 1,000,000 gold coins."They sketched my face badly," Tobias whispered.The villagers who were looking at the flyer wouldn't have guessed that Tobias was behind them, as Tobias was dressed in disguise, with a cloth cove
Divine Sword Art System Chapter 198. Respect for Trust
The Carlisle castle doors opened, revealing the stunning scenery inside. The fountains as well as the gardens inside the house were clearly displayed before Tobias. Leonora invited the young man to discuss Atrea's agreement with the south in her study.The location of the study was on the second floor, where her father used to work before as the leader of the House of Adelard. However, the brave and mighty man died at the hands of Archibald's troops.Along the way to Leonora's study, the man occasionally saw photos of Jeremias Adelard displayed on the walls of every palace hallway he passed.Leonora occasionally looked back, watching Tobias look at her father's pictures. She nodded. Jeremias was killed while trying to recapture the escaped Tobias."The whole city no longer cares about that. Adelard's relationship with Ludwig became severely strained after that incident," Leonora said."Is it because you failed to arrest me?" Tobias asked."N
Divine Sword Art System Chapter 199. Friends and City Leader
Right after having a long conversation with Leonora in her study, the woman stood up from her seat and walked over to Tobias.She invited him to take a short walk to enjoy the scenery of Carlisle. Tobias looked briefly at the glass window behind Leonora's desk as orange began to change the color of the sky, a sign that it was already dusk.Tobias looked back at Leonora, agreeing to her invitation. The two left the office, heading down to the first floor, where they met the commander of the city's army."Is the discussion over?" the man of armour asked.Leonora shook her head with both eyes, watching the man who stopped right before her, "Not yet. We haven't even discussed it a little. We'll start seriously talking about it when the city representatives come."The man before Leonora nodded his head, fully understanding what she had just said. The woman bid him farewell, stepping side by side with Tobias, her guest.The Carlisle palace doors o
Divine Sword Art System Chapter 200. Unification Negotiation
***Three days later.Tobias was waiting on the third-floor balcony of Carlisle Castle. He looked outside and watched as carriages from various cities began to arrive.Actually, the convoy of city representatives had been coming since the day before yesterday. The number of city representatives who came every day increased until the peak was today.Leonora said the southern region has 12 cities, four large cities and the rest small towns. So the number of city representatives attending the event totalled 11, one along with Leonora.The House of Adelard's leading lady had also said that the city leaders in the southern region were led by nobles. That's why she didn't call the nobles because she thought they were already represented by the city representatives.There was a soft knock on the Tobias' room door, and a maid came as Leonora had ordered. Leonora told the maid to arrive at Tobias' room and said all the city representatives had arrive
Divine Sword Art System Chapter 201. Common Decision
Tobias was still standing and looking at the city representatives. Leonora was the first to stand among them all, followed by Beatrix, who was near Tobias. The young man smiled widely at their response. Not only did the two of them agree, but one by one the town representatives began to stand up after exchanging glances. They agreed to join Jiyu after hundreds of years of loyalty to Equestria. This was after careful review. They had initially refused when Beatrix negotiated with each city, but after being told the further impact the loss of Atrea would have on Equestria, they began to think about the option of merging with Jiyu. It was not only security that was a factor in the stability of a kingdom but also food and population stability. If security and food were already lacking, then a region would not have any stability, not even for the population. The option Atrea initiated wasn't so bad. They made the kingdom a model agricultural kingdom, putting food first. By joining Atr

"Take care of yourself, Tobias," Leonora pleaded, saying goodbye to Tobias.She, accompanied by Beatrix and the commander of the city troops, escorted Tobias' departure from Carlisle. The three were at the south gate, with Tobias already on his horse."Where are you heading?" asked Beatrix, curious."There's one more place I want to visit, Leafvile," Tobias replied."Do you want to talk to them about it?" asked Leonora.Tobias rolled his eyes, staring at Leonora, who seemed to be standing in the middle between Beatrix and the man in armor. Tobias drew his lips up, smiling sweetly as they exchanged glances."I hand over the south to you," Tobias said.Speechless, Leonora smiled and nodded slowly. She accepted the request, as well as Tobias' trust in her.No matter how hard things would get, she would do everything she could to complete Tobias' request. The woman was well aware that the situation would be unfavorable right 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.
