"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
"What? Akihiko?" asked Tobias.He dropped his katana sword because his right hand was shaking so much. The man was shocked to realize the person before him was probably the Akihiko he had been looking for.Even so, her appearance was far from what Tobias would have expected. The young man had originally thought Akihiko would be reborn as a human in the Three Kingdoms of Humans. However, what he thought had not happened at all.Tobias squinted his eyes after daydreaming for a long time. He picked up his katana that had fallen earlier, pointing the tip of the katana at the elven woman before him."What ... Are you trying to get inside my mind, witch?!" groaned Tobias.Aerith's response was completely different. She was speechless as she realized Tobias didn't seem to believe her."I am Akihiko Yamaguchi, daughter of Noble Yamaguchi. We died together while trying to escape the enemy. Do you remember?" asked Aerith, her eyes still wide as she stared at Tobias, who she guessed was Taichi H
Leena immediately directed the black cloud that carried Tobias to one of the prison cells under the palace, where criminals ranging from scary monsters to other captured humans resided.The woman violently threw Tobias' body, which had been lying on his back on the black cloud, against the prison wall. The forceful impact brought Tobias back to consciousness, his eyes slowly opened and he saw that he was somewhere else."What happened?" asked Tobias, confused by what was happening."Her Grace is taking you to the Astral Palace, located at the centre of the Mythological Kingdom," Leena explained.Tobias tried to stand on his feet, stepping closer to the bars. However, just as his hands were about to grasp the bars, Tobias' body was sent flying by the strong electric curre
