"What should we do now?" asked Leonora, curious.
Tobias looked at Leonora and then at Karin. As the King of the Jiyu Kingdom, Tobias had to immediately convey his orders to address the current events. Leonora was worried that if Jiyu gave orders late, the mythological army would continue to push in and invade Atrea's territory.
"Send a message to Stratham. Concentrate all of Jiyu's troops at the border gate, withdraw troops from the kingdom's borders and focus on holding back the mythological kingdom's advance," Tobias explained.
Karin listened carefully. She went alone out of the throne room to reach the palace post room, where she had originally gotten the letter from Liam sent to him.
"Our focus is now split between Norman, Equestria, and Mythology. We can't withdraw the invading forces in the three cities of Equestria, nor can we use the Norman forces we've been holding back," Tobias explained.
"So, what should we do?" asked Leonora, curious.
"Where are you going, Your Majesty?" someone asked.The man arrived at the palace to collect a file containing the soldiers' personal data, along with the exact number of Norman soldiers that Jiyu captured. It was Adrian, the man who was about to deliver the documents to the city administration office, which was now working near the White Palace of Valestria.Tobias was caught in the middle of preparing his equipment and strapping it onto the black horse that would be his mount. His appearance that night was much different than before. He wore a noble shirt covered by a knee-length black coat, with a black hood covering his head and face.However, Adrian could easily figure it out, apart from posture also behavior. After Karin's news that the Mythology army was trying to push through in the Western region, the man's attention was immediately drawn to Tobias.Tobias' actions were in line with what Adrian had expected. The man would act alone amid Jiyu's di
***The next day.Leonora woke up from her sleep with a feeling of happiness covering her heart. Her eyes opened, turning to the side where she couldn't find Tobias. The woman only saw sunlight coming in through the open window, warming her body and the mattress where she lay last night."Tobias?" call Leonora.No response at all. Leonora didn't suspect anything, perhaps Tobias had woken up early to take care of matters related to the invasion of the Mythology Kingdom. Leonora pulled out the bathrobe hanging on the clothes hanger, putting it on gracefully as she stood up.The room door was open, looking to the right and left where there was no one there. The atmosphere was pretty quiet and deserted, as if everyone was doing something according to their respective duties.Leonora decided to walk down the stairs, trying to find someone, whether it was a maid or a guard. Leonora's eyes saw a maid who was turning off one by one the oil lamps that had been lighting up the corridors of the
"Cut off their heads? But they are Norman soldiers. I'm afraid if we do that, they'll turn against us," Karin said."I don't care whether they invade us or not. I'm in charge now. You can't argue with me," Leonora said.Although the woman seemed to be giving such cruel orders, there was no denying the friendliness on her face. A wide smile still stretched across Leonora's beautiful face. At first glance, people would consider her kind and thoughtful with such an expression."I don't—""Very well, Your Grace. We will carry out your orders," Adrian interrupted, the man's words shocking Karin."Do you agree with her?" asked Karin, looking annoyed."We'll talk about it outside," Adrian replied.The captain of the engineer troop seemed to be pulling Karin's hand strongly to get away from the throne area of the King and Queen in the White Palace. Karin rebelled several times, not wanting to be taken by Adrian, her heart still not happy with the decision Leonora had just made.Arriving at th
"Alright. I will follow your plan," said Lucius, finally agreeing with Adrian regarding his plan to free the Norman soldiers.Karin looked worried, her face which usually showed a serious expression, now looked full of sadness that Adrian would do something dangerous for her. Adrian had no choice, this was the only way that could be used to maintain the relationship between Norman and Jiyu, in accordance with what Tobias Archibald wanted.Lucius was ordered to return to the cage, to discuss this matter with his commanders. Right when the old man said it, none of them denied it."We can use this to take down Jiyu and take Valestria," replied one of Jiyu's commanders."I made enough mistakes when I came here. I don't want to repeat the same thing," said Lucius.
***Ten days later.From a distance, Tobias could clearly see the city gates of Stratham protected by a high wall. At first glance, there didn't seem to be any panic among the townspeople who passed by the place, many of them were busy taking care of matters related to their activities.Two soldiers in dark blue armour stood guard in front of the gate, their job was to check on people coming in and out of the city, especially newcomers. For those townspeople, the two soldiers already knew so it was only a short check.Tobias began to spur his horse quickly, leaving the hilly area to reach the eastern gate of Stratham. Tobias' horse came to a halt when a soldier stopped him, right after seeing the different appearance Tobias was showing at the moment.
With Tobias in the vanguard, the command center was now in Tobias' hands. Liam was reluctant to take command of the troops if the leader of the Jiyu Kingdom was already nearby.Tobias accepted the transfer of command. He immediately gave a breakthrough in the defense strategy at that place. The human troops were struggling when they had to face an army of monsters with the considerable size of the monsters.Now, Tobias and Liam, along with the other captains of the troops, were gathered in the tent of the commander of the border guard troops. The number of people gathered reached ten, consisting of eight troop captains, and the remaining two people were Liam and Tobias."When do they usually attack?" asked Tobias.He started the discussion before a round table containing
Not a single orc could stop Tobias' movement. The golden light emanating from his body made like a flash of golden lightning that danced around the orcs.Liam, who saw the incident, looked so excited that his enthusiasm was able to kill many goblins before him. The confidence of the human army increased dramatically as they fought against their king, something that brought back the moment they fought with Tobias against Valcke."Don't leave Lord Tobias to fight alone! We must help him immediately!" Liam shouted, met with a thunderous shout from the human army.Their hands gripped tightly on their swords, and their eyes focused on the goblins blindly. They did not let the centaurs live. They easily defeated the centaurs as if they were facing cavalry soldiers.There
***The next day.Tobias stood firmly in front of the wooden fence that separated the campsite from the uphill road that led to the forbidden area. The vultures were gathering, tearing apart and devouring the bodies of the monsters killed in last night's battle.There was not a single human body there, as Liam had ordered his soldiers last night to collect the bodies of the dead human soldiers and bury them en masse in an area.Liam emerged from one of the tents, wearing no armour, just a long-sleeved T-shirt and long black pants with pockets on the sides. Liam stood beside Tobias with his eyes aimed at the uphill area of the road."Is it time?" asked Liam."Yes. Start digging the

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.
