"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

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

The ten bandits captured by the village soldiers began to be brought together to the village's main road, away from the village center, to avoid disturbing the people's sleep. Not only were the bandits captured, but he also ordered the village guard soldiers to gather.Tobias came out of the forest, wiping his sword blade, which was stained with the bandits' blood. He stepped out alone, which attracted the rioters' and the village guards' attention."Let's make this quick," Tobias said, walking over to the bandits who were kneeling helplessly, facing east, directly across from him."Who sent you? You can't have done all this by yourselves, right?" asked Tobias, looking at the captured bandits individually.Tobias' question didn't get their attention. Instead, they turned their faces away, not looking Tobias in the eye. Some soldiers who saw their attitude suddenly became angry; one hit the bandits in the face with a fist."No matter how hard you tr
Divine Sword Art System Chapter 58. Noble Rivalry
When Ilyn was about to confess, some bandits kneeling beside him tried to rebel, removing the cloth gag from their mouths. However, the soldiers were stronger than them. They immediately silenced all nine bandits by knocking them down."I'm sorry, my friend. I had to do it to protect my family," Ilyn said, giving up because he had no choice.Tobias grinned. He had guessed Ilyn wouldn't move when faced with the lives of his family. A soldier approached Tobias, carrying a furry coat that was warm enough to wear.He handed the coat to Tobias, whereupon the man walked over to Ilyn's wife and covered her cold body with his own, "Put this on. It will keep you warm."The woman gasped in surprise, her change in demeanor based on Tobias' response. She had originally thought Tobias was a cruel man who wanted to kill her son, but now she realized he was just trying to lure her husband into confessing.There is no single father in the world who wants to see his son murdered, let alone before his
Divine Sword Art System Chapter 59. Rescue Operation
Tobias and Roman left the village, traveling by carriage along the main road connecting the village with the city. Tobias was on the carriage himself, allowing a soldier to be the charioteer. The entourage left together, heading for Rachdale City, which was close to Leafvile. Its location under Mount Ashvile could be clearly seen from this village. "Hope they don't find out we've come to rescue the bandits' families," said one of the soldiers, Tobias nodding. "Our arrival at this hour will not make them suspicious. I'm sure they're still asleep," Tobias replied. The soldier agreed. Tobias' words were enough to relieve them so they wouldn't have to take up arms if something bad happened. The streets were deserted, not a single person passing by. Now and then, Tobias' eyes would see many wild animals appearing, most of them were nocturnal. There was no more conversation between Tobias and the two soldiers accompanying him. They were too
Divine Sword Art System Chapter 60. A Noble Conspiracy
After no longer being suspicious, Tobias' work picking up the families of the bandits was much easier. Within half an hour, Tobias could take all the families of the six bandits. To his surprise, the carriage room could fit them all.The young man didn't know how Roman's rescue was progressing, but he only hoped the man would be alright. After the last family entered the carriage, Tobias' eyes could see the carriage was full."It looks like the two soldiers, and I won't be able to go home," Tobias said.Even though the three didn't get the available seats, Tobias was fine with it. Their safety mattered more than his, so he decided to tell the charioteer to take them away."Go, I will catch up," Tobias commanded, and the charioteer nodded, understanding the safety of the bandit families was the top priority.The chariot began to move at a steady pace, travelling along the dirt road to get away from Rachdale. As time passed, Tobias and the two soldiers with him could see the chariot beg
Divine Sword Art System Chapter 61. Witness to Talk
"Don't talk nonsense! Are you trying to break us up?!" snapped Tobias.The man didn't take it well when Ingfried was blamed by Mark for all of this, but Mark's expression didn't show the slightest lie. The noble businessman looked confused after Tobias asked such a question."I'm not lying, Lord Tobias. One of the Ingfried family ordered me to do so," Mark replied, his hands raised and joined together, begging the man before him to believe in him.Tobias narrowed his eyes. He needed to know the name of the Ingfried Family who gave Mark Saxer the order, "Was it Jeanne?""Yes. That girl told me to," Mark replied.What he suspected turned out to be true; there was no way Henry and Caroline would order Mark to do it because it would be the same as destroying their goods. However, it was different with Jeanne Ingfried, who hated Tobias, especially since she didn't come when her brothers visited Tobias' place."What did you get by following her words?" asked Tobias, curious about the reward
Divine Sword Art System Chapter 62. Ingfried's Involvement
Tobias slept only for a short time, about five hours since his arrival to the village. No one had dared to disturb his sleep, considering he had been so busy securing the fields from bandits all night.Elisa took action. She ordered two soldiers to guard the door of the chief's residence, preventing anyone from seeing Tobias, even if they were guests from outside the village.The two soldiers agreed firmly. Last night, they didn't get any guard duty, so they were completely fit. The village attackers might have been less threatening, but every soldier in the village guard had to be alert for any eventuality.Elisa herself was busy preparing Tobias' belongings, from the carriage to the soldiers leaving to the supplies for the trip. She did everything necessary to make Tobias feel comfortable on the road to Valestria.Tobias started opening his eyes, stretching his body as the morning light comfortably woke him. The open window, displaying the Leafvile skyl

"What?" asked Henry.Both men's eyes turned away, looking at Jeanne, who still sat on the dining table chair. The girl turned her face the other way when Henry and Caroline looked at her."Is it true what he said, Jeanne?" asked Caroline, making sure.Henry Ingfried seemed to be crouching near Mark Saxer, looking at the white-haired man with an angry look in his eyes. The heir to the House of Ingfried asked again for the truth about Jeanne's involvement with his actions."That's right. Five days ago, Jeanne came to Rachdale to meet with me. She offered me a partnership in exchange for twenty gold coins," Mark replied."Twenty gold coins? I didn't give her that amount of money. Are you sure he promised that?" asked Henry. Mark Saxer was seen nodding his head.Tobias walked over to Henry, right next to Mark, who was lying limp on the floor, "You would only know the truth if you asked Jeanne directly.""Tch!"Jeanne clucked her to
