One week later.
"We can't keep depending on farming," Elisa said.
Tobias sat on a chair behind his desk. The pile of papers had been piling up over time, starting three days ago when the villagers decided to start trading.
The rich land and the competent skills of the farmers made the vegetables from Leafvile much better than the neighboring villages. Villagers started earning money from the sales. Women started regularly serving food to their families; children played around the village.
It was a difficult situation they were going through, and Tobias' reign was a blessing. He came with ideas and good intentions to improve the village.
"So? Do you have any ideas? You've been here longer than I, so you know what the villagers are capable of, right?" Tobias asked.
Pointing at Elisa, who appeared sitting on the sofa, she was no longer accompanied by her two guards. Tobias had ordered the two young men to join the village guards; the

Divine Sword Art System Chapter 40. Spread The Myth
Tobias left Leafvile on horseback. Actually, two days ago, a courier from Giselle arrived with a raven. The woman had said earlier she would send a raven to communicate.But Tobias could not use a letter to inform her about this matter. The subject they were going to discuss was quite complex, related to Leafvile Waterfall and other matters.The journey home was much faster than the departure, taking less than twenty minutes for Tobias to reach the other side of the hill, directly facing the west gate of Valestria. The man could clearly see the queue of merchants entering the city.Tobias made it through the gates with Archibald's gold plate. The guards gave him a pass as they knew the plate's function. Inside the city, the young man slowed down his horse to avoid hurting people walking on the city's main street.Along the way to Giselle's brothel, Tobias' horse's steps stopped when his eyes noticed the goods being sold by the townspeople. He turned his h

Stephanie opened the curtains in the left side room of the house, and Tobias' presence took her by surprise. Her lipline rose, waving a friendly hand to Tobias.He smiled back, occasionally nodding as he shared a brief glance with Stephanie. The woman waved her right hand towards Giselle, asking her boss to walk over."What is it?" asked Giselle, curious."You have a stubborn guest outside," Stephanie said.Giselle sighed; this was the third time she'd had unpleasant guests this week. Tobias walked toward the living room, opening the curtains to the left as he gazed toward the brothel's exit.A riot was going on; the men who were previously inside the house had come out to see what the noise was about. The curious Tobias also walked outside, finding a group of men arguing about something."Jesselyn is the best!" snapped one of the men."No! Marcela is the goddess among the six!" the other man moaned.Tobias, who had been curiou
Divine Sword Art System Chapter 42. Business Agreement
"Oh, an Archibald has come to see me. It would be an honour to work with you, Lord Archibald," Elizabeth said, smiling, and now it was her turn to bow her head.Suddenly, the people near her also bowed their heads, paying their respects to Tobias, who had higher noble status. Elizabeth invited Tobias to come in, leaving the matter to her guards in front of the factory."How did you find this place, My Lord?" Elizabeth asked."A merchant told me about it in exchange for me buying his goods," Tobias said."Hmm, you sound like a good negotiator, My Lord," said Elizabeth."I will not take that as a compliment. It is more like blackmailing," Tobias replied."Then what do you have to offer me, Lord Tobias?"Tobias continued to walk after the woman, his eyes glancing over the hundreds of tailors making the same style of clothing, similar to a dress. Many of them were also making suits for the men."Currently, I'm the leader of a regio
Divine Sword Art System Chapter 43. Leafvile Other Commodities
*** Riding his horse, Tobias quickly left Sarastrea to return to Leafvile. To get to the village, Tobias needed to take the Valestria main road because that was the only way he could travel faster. He came back with many ideas and information for the improvement of the village, but he couldn't tell Elisa about it because all the ideas hadn't been fully realized yet; there were many things they had to do. The young man passed before Giselle's brothel, seeing the situation in front of the house becoming slowly conducive, unlike before. He also didn't see Giselle in the place, a sign that she was already inside. It didn't take long for Tobias to get out of the Valestria area, as the queue at the gate still seemed to be snaking, just like usual. Tobias left the area, spurring his horse steadily through the forest and up the hill until he reached the village where he ruled. Tobias' arrival was a different thing for the villagers, who were initially scared, but now became enthusiastic.
Divine Sword Art System Chapter 44. An Oath to Tobias
***The next day.It seemed that Giselle's words had paid off. Tobias could see the effect of the rumour being successfully trusted by the people. They arrived in different outfits, some wearing luxurious attire like nobles and others wearing common clothes."It seems like your friend's connections are undoubted," Elisa said, happy to finally see visitors coming to her village."I'm grateful to have her," Tobias chimed in.Although not many, it was a good start for Leafvile. The more people who come, the more they will know about the village's potential. The tour guides start directing tourists to the Leafvile Spring waterfall.Not only are the men the tour guides, but the women have also been selected to work selling milk bottles for ritual purposes. They are already standing neatly at their stands, with stacks of milk bottles ready for sale."Impress them as much as possible. We must make an unforgettable first impression on them," Tobias said.Elisa nodded, knowing what she had to
Divine Sword Art System Chapter 45. Price of Trust
Not only the man but also his members said the same thing. They swore an oath of allegiance to Tobias, as the young man had defeated the invincible Rono for many years.The young man re-sheathed his sword, thinking bloodshed was unnecessary at this time. His head turned back, asking the soldiers guarding the village to put down their weapons.He then stepped closer to the group's leader, "I don't know if I can trust you.""We never betray. If one of us does, you can have my head," the leader said.Tobias crouched down, looking levelly at the man until they locked eyes. Tobias thought he could sense the solemnity in his gaze, but stares can be tricked and didn't make Tobias trust him."What's your name?" Tobias asked."Cleagene," said the man named Cleagene, the group leader."All right, Cleagene. You certainly want to have my trust, don't you?" asked Tobias. Cleagene nodded with his head bowed obediently."I have many things to do with this village; food, security, and growth. I'm tak
Divine Sword Art System Chapter 46. The Eastern Duties
***The next day."That's approximately the design of the factory that Elizabeth and I wanted," Tobias said, talking to the foreman about the initial design of the factory.Tobias walked over to the house wall, his right hand raised, tapping lightly on the wood. Yesterday, just before Elizabeth left, she had asked Tobias directly to use bricks instead of wood in the construction of the factory.Bricks are much more expensive than wood, but in terms of durability, they can last longer. Elizabeth probably thought so, considering that she would have a major revamp if the clothing sales from the Leafvile branch could be successful within a year."I fully understand your wishes. We will do our best to build it quickly," the foreman said.Twenty workers were under his command, quite a lot for a small building. Tobias said yes, feeling relieved when the foreman said so.It had been more than a week since Tobias's reign in Leafvile, and signi
Divine Sword Art System Chapter 47. Phase two, Security Stability
Elena gasped in shock. She did not expect Tobias to be so serious about his plan to liberate Atrea. The young man's wish was like a gamble. If they succeeded, then it was good for Equestria. However, vice versa if they fail.The Equestria Queen's eyes kept looking at Tobias, trying to ascertain the man's sincerity. Tobias stuck to his commitment, even though King Constantine no longer expected him to."Are you sure you can gather such a large army in one year?" asked Elena, wanting to know the faith in Tobias' heart because it all depended on his heart.If Tobias was determined to carry out this plan, then Elena couldn't stop him. In fact, the woman planned to help Tobias by sending the leader of the Queen's Guard to teach Tobias' troops how to wield a sword."I'm sure I can do it. For now, I just need the contacts of some important people in various places," Tobias said."When exactly will you gather the troops?" asked Elena."Recruitment has already begun for now.

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.
