"Why do you want to train us to be village guard soldiers?" asked one of the men, a blacksmith who currently held a spear in his hand.
"Because it's the only job available for now. You certainly don't want people swearing at you for not having a job, do you?" Tobias asked.
They nodded. One hundred unemployed men were gathered and lined up in the village square. Since there were fewer spears than unemployed men, some men would not get one.
"For those who have gotten a spear, we will begin practising how to use this weapon," Tobias replied, holding the wooden spear and staring intently.
"For those who haven't gotten one, you better pay attention because you will get yours later," Tobias said.
"For the basics, you need to do things like this," Tobias continued.
The man began to show the stance to use the spear, the villagers followed along, and not a single one yelled at him. Those holding the spears slowly started to get the courage to swing t

***One month later."We need to supply some clothes to Rachdale and Edinburgh, the demand from both cities is high," Tobias said, receiving the letter just as the merchant's carriage arrived.The more people who knew about Leafvile, the more people were eager to form trade partnerships. For this week, there were already five merchants, two from Edinburgh and three from Rachdale, who intended to become Leafvile's partners, especially in the clothes trade.The factory itself was already established, and the thirteen people who had been trained had begun their work. Tobias could not manage the factory alone, as he had other work to do.In the end, the factory was led by a woman Elisa trusted. She was Amora, a 30-year-old middle-aged woman who used to work as a jewellery merchant. Her trade skills would be helpful for the textile factory."Fine. I will work on it. We need to talk to Elizabeth about our fabric needs," Amora said, realizing this
Divine Sword Art System Chapter 50. Myrcella Orders
Tobias paid no attention to him. The man again ordered his men to take them away from Leafvile. They left without arguing, walking down the stone steps while accompanied by the Leafvile soldiers.The man continued to watch their departure, he had no idea what Jeanne's noble status was, but unlike Erhard, Tobias could guess. Tobias walked back until he reached the village center, going to the village chief's house to record everything this village needed.There was a soft knock on the chief's door, and Elisa arrived at the front of the house to ask Tobias some questions, especially about the broken changing room.Tobias saw Elisa's arrival. He had expected her to ask about the facilities that they damaged."Things like this are bound to happen, considering Leafvile waterfall is a public place," Tobias said."Should I call the construction workers to repair it?" asked Elisa.The man stopped writing and raised his head as he looked at Elisa wit
Divine Sword Art System Chapter 51. Archibald and Ingfried
"Deal!" said Myrcella. Jeanne, who heard she would be cut off, was shocked, with her eyes narrowed violently. The woman looked to be walking toward Princess Myrcella, disagreeing with what her friend had said. "Of course, I disagree! Why should I be guillotined?" asked Jeanne, raising her voice, the woman still wanting her head to stay in place. "It was an agreement between me and King Constantine. He gave his mandate to me, but as Princess Myrcella ordered, it can be passed to you," said Tobias, smiling at Jeanne, who stood beside Myrcella. "You don't need to worry. If you fail, Tobias will be beheaded, not you," explained Princess Myrcella. The woman's words surprised and intrigued Tobias again. How could they punish someone else when it wasn't his fault? According to Tobias, age affects a person's leadership; one example is Princess Myrcella. Tobias didn't mean to disrespect her, but she didn't fully understand the science of royal law. He even felt he was conversing with a li

Ingfried's arrival in Valestria wasn't for nothing. Things were getting worse in the northern islands, especially about food. Henry arrived along with Caroline and Jeanne Ingfried. They left after being ordered by their father to partner with several villages and cities."Since the Atrea region was unstable due to the war, the food crisis in the northern islands has been severely affected, as we are quite reliant on Stratham's commodity products," Henry said."Yesterday, I had a meeting with His Majesty the King. He said the Palace cannot help, as the situation is complicated right now, and the finances are running low," Henry continued."But King Constantine gave me a suggestion to speak with you," Henry replied."You know, even though we are Archibald, we don't have the power to rule Atrea, especially when some cities have fallen to Valcke," said Giselle.The woman showed Henry the brothel's condition, which even got a lot of help from Viseryon.

"So, you plan to return to take Atrea's territory?" asked Henry, confirming the news he had heard from Tobias."As the ruling noble of that place, I must return to take back what is mine," Tobias replied.Henry turned his head softly toward his aide. An amazing idea crossed his mind, one related to loyalty and payback. If Ingfried could assist Tobias in capturing the eastern territories, which were rich in farmland, they would no longer have to worry about food shortages."When exactly are you going to attack the region?" Henry asked.Tobias sighed, thinking about when would be a good time for him to attack, even though he hadn't finished gathering the troops yet, "Right after I get enough troops.""Then I will help you to gather the men you need. It's been a while since the Northern Islanders have joined the war," said Henry."I will wait for your joining," said Tobias.Once there was an agreement between the two, Tobias and Henry we
Divine Sword Art System Chapter 54. Six-Month Promise
Tobias took Henry and Caroline to see the sights at Leafvile, Elisa following him. The first place Tobias wanted to show was Leafvile Waterfall, a place that had become a topic of conversation for many people across the country.There was no place like this in the northern islands, only coastal areas and towering, shady coconut trees. The overall landscape of the northern islands is lowland, with no hills or even mountains.The place's highest location was the northern islands' capital, Ocearis. A city associated with blue and its inhabitants of diverse ethnicities. Ocearis is the highest place on the entire land in the northern islands, and when a person stands on top of the high tower located in the city center, they can look around the entire island.Seeing natural beauty such as waterfalls touched Henry's heart, despite the number of people bathing in the waterfall pools. Tobias uses the natural beauty shown to make it a sacred place so that they will protec
Divine Sword Art System Chapter 55. Village Aggressor
***"To cooperate with Leafvile textile factory seems difficult to realize, considering we already have enough people to do it," said Tobias, receiving a guest from Rachdale Town who wanted to cooperate.The middle-aged man came with a woman, both amazed by the clothing Leafvile produced, much different from clothes elsewhere that seemed to use ordinary fabrics and not-so-good sewing methods.Hearing Tobias reject their request was saddening for both of them, but they couldn't do much about it. Tobias was the leader of this place, and he was in control of all the commodities in this place."Besides, I also already have my man in Rachdale. It would be bad for my working relationship with him if I accepted your request," Tobias said.The middle-aged man understood as he nodded his head slowly while smiling, "I understand, Lord Tobias."The two said goodbye to Tobias, stepping out of the headman's house as others entered. There was a long queue
Divine Sword Art System Chapter 56. Night Patrol
Without his guidance, the village soldiers managed to set up several traps in the forest area. Not only traps but also trenches with sharp wood in them. Everything was done to prevent the attack on Leafvile's farm from happening again.All of Tobias' guests had finished talking to him. One by one, they stepped out of the village as it was getting late. The man was still in the village head's residence, standing tall on the second-floor balcony with his eyes fixed on the southern area.As time passed, the sunlight faded, replaced by the night. Oil lamps were lit all over the village without exception; even the streets were illuminated.For five hours, they worked on the trench. In the end, they finished and began to leave the place. The soldiers returned to their guard posts, on high alert, as the village was in danger due to the mysterious attack.One of the soldiers walked up, near the center of the village, to inform Tobias about the progress of the tre
