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

    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

    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

    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

    "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

    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

    "Don't be kidding. I'm not interested in that kind of offer," Tobias said.His heart still belonged to Akihiko from then until now. No single woman in the world can replace Akihiko in Tobias' heart. That's why Tobias worked extra hard to get the highest status to search for Akihiko more easily."Do you already have someone in your heart?" Henry asked.Tobias nodded, his eyes looking closely at Henry and Caroline, "You should solve this problem by discussing, not sacrificing.""I will send a message through my soldiers about the results of my discussion with the villagers," Tobias replied.The Archibald nobleman began to take his leave, Henry no longer holding the man back. Boarding a horse-drawn carriage, Tobias left Ingfried's house with two soldiers and Mark. Henry and Caroline accompanied Tobias' departure, just until the front yard of the house.The farther Tobias' carriage travelled, the two Ingfried nobles could no longer see Tobias ca

    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.
