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
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
***Five days later.There were no significant problems during Tobias' trip from Carlisle to Leafvile. The people in each village Tobias stayed in for a while showed no suspicion of the young man.They were too busy trying to take care of their hungry stomachs rather than paying attention to everyone who came by. This was an advantage for Tobias.Tobias was still sitting firmly on his mount, looking over his shoulder and seeing he was already at the T-junction close to Leafvile.The place was still the same as before, with no significant changes. If Tobias kept going straight, he would arrive in Valestria. If he turned left, he would arrive at the small town of Leafvile."This place hasn't changed much," Tobias said.He was distracted when he heard the sound of horses galloping and tires rolling. The sound was coming from the top of the hill, Leafvile.From afar, Tobias could see two horse-drawn carriages coming down at a stead
This was the first battle of the black armour soldiers of Equestria against Tobias. They never knew what Tobias was capable of, so many casualties were caused by their ignorance."Best option, don't even get closer to the man," said the commander, ordering his men to step back."But how can we win if we don't kill him?" asked one of the black armour soldiers."The longer we wait, the better," said the squad commander.The man had already sent a message to Valestria with a request to send additional troops to Leafvile. The troop commander had nothing to worry about, considering the distance between Valestria and Leafvile was pretty close.They would arrive within fifteen minutes of travel. Now, Tobias was the one in a pinch if he didn't defeat the troops.Tobias opened his eyes, seeing that the Equestrian troops were being clever by not approaching the man. The young man smiled broadly, raising his sword again."So, you chose to wait f
Tobias and the townspeople were already in a village close to Edinburgh. The young man, along with Elisa, was providing for the evacuated townspeople.Due to the lack of supplies for camping, Tobias and Elisa decided to bring people to stay in the village. There were two inns that had different numbers of rooms; the first had twenty, while the second had ten."The rooms are small, but it's enough to fit them all in. One room holds ten people," Elisa said."This is the best for them. If we let them stay in the tents, the threat will be even worse," replied Tobias, standing side by side with Elisa before the first lodge."What happened exactly?" asked Elisa."The war in Atrea actually ended a month ago. Negotiations were successful between Archibald and Valcke," Tobias replied."When winter ended, and the roads were clear of snow, emissaries from Valestria seemed to be trying to travel to Atrea," Tobias continued.Elisa's forehead furro
***Five days later.Tobias chose not to respond to the Mayor of Edinburgh's request, as he thought it was very difficult to fulfill. Even if Tobias agreed, they would die in one night in enemy territory."By having more horse-drawn carriages, we can save even more time," Elisa said.The woman rode along with Tobias. They stopped at a carriage craftsman's shop. The handiwork of the shop's owner and employees was displayed nicely at the front, catching Tobias's eye when he arrived in the village."How much for the carriage?" asked Tobias.The young man pointed at one of the five horse-drawn carriages on display, the largest and most solid-looking.It wasn't for nothing that Tobias had chosen that carriage. He wanted the journey from here to Carlisle not to be delayed by people on foot.With everyone getting on the horse-drawn carriage, they could all leave at the same time. Elisa was of the same mind. She thought the carriage To
"Refugees?" asked the lumberjack man."That's right. We're trying to escape the persecution of Equestria," Tobias said, trying to explain briefly to the man with the axe.The lumberjack man sighed, putting down the axe he had pointed at Tobias. Seeing the carpenter man's response made Tobias feel relieved. It seemed that he would not do any harm to him and the group of Leafvile residents.He stuck the axe on a piece of wood, raised his hand, and pointed his head to the right, "Follow this village road, then go through the town of Elysian. After that, go straight until you reach Carlisle."Tobias shifted his gaze, following the path pointed out by the carpenter. There was a dirt country road leading to the center of the village and Elisian if one continued further."How far is it until we reach Carlisle?" asked Tobias."Probably about 2-3 days on foot," the man said.Elisa walked closer to Tobias, tugging gently on the young man's clothes to get his attention.Tobias' head snapped back
From a distance, Tobias could see the Elysian City's buildings. The architectural style was medieval, with crowds of townspeople and lights lining the main street.It gave the impression of a lively and bustling city, although it had to be admitted that they also had difficulties with food.Elysian City is famous as a center for handicrafts. Many knick-knacks and accessories can be found here, from bracelets, necklaces, earrings, bags, and the largest crafts such as statues.The city's surroundings aren't guarded by a city wall, just like big cities like Carlisle or Valestria. They didn't think building a large protective stone wall was necessary, especially since the city wasn't at war.After an hour of riding, Tobias stopped the black horse he and Elisa were riding when they reached the greeting monument. Tobias looked to his right and left to see that there wasn't a single soldier guarding the gate.He rode into the town, asking the townspeople about a shop that sells horse-drawn c

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,
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
"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
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
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
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.
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
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.
