Tobias prepared the horse he would use for the trip by himself. The horse was black all over, and its size was larger than most horses. The man was seen hooking a bag on the horse's back behind the saddle.
"There are only three major cities in the western territory; Rachdale, Edinburgh, and Westwind. Leon will explain the details to you," said Elisa.
The woman came after she had completed all the trade work she had done. The carriages carrying the harvest began to drive down the hill, heading to different places.
This afternoon, all the carriages would return to Leafvile with the money from last month's selling. Elisa had already calculated the predicted income Leafvile would receive from the previous month's sale.
"If you are burned out, take some wine and enjoy. However, I advise you not to make any decisions when drunk," Tobias advised.
"Ever since I was assigned to be your right-hand, I've started to ease up on my drinking," Elisa said.
"What?" asked Tobias, surprised."Westwind is a big city, even bigger than Rachdale. It would be difficult for you to offer cooperation on the name of Leafvile, which is just a village," Leon said.Leon sat on a single sofa, looking at Tobias, who sat on the other sofa. If Leon had to be honest, Rachdale had many times proposed a partnership with Westwind, but it always failed.Even if it succeeded, Rachdale would only get a small profit, all based on necessity. However, Leon saw great potential in the partnership offered by Tobias."Undoubtedly, all places have been affected by the food crisis, Westwind being one of them," Leon replied."They are in desperate need of a large supply of food. Rachdale and Edinburgh can provide it, but not as much as Leafvile can," Leon said."If the House of Ingfried can even come to Leafvile to cooperate, then there is no reason for the lords of the western territories to refuse this partnership," Leon added
***The next day."I'm sure I've heard that name before," Leon said, walking through the corridors of the municipal building, toward the second floor where the administrative offices were located.Tobias kept Leon company, walking right behind the young man. He could delay his departure for Westwind, but he could not wait for news of Akihiko's whereabouts.After all this time of searching through the village visitors, Tobias did not expect he would find Akihiko from Leon. The two arrived at the administrative office door, Leon reached out, opened the doorknob and walked in with Tobias.A female staff working behind the desk was surprised to see Leon's arrival, as he was leaving today along with the Mayor of Rachdale for Valestria."Are you not leaving yet, Mr. Leon?" asked the female staff, Leon shook his head."The mayor is getting ready. I brought my friend here, he needs the data of a person named Akihiko," Leon said.The st
***Three days later.Tobias arrived in front of a modest inn in a village along a road connecting cities. They called this village Eldergate. The name was given because the village had a giant gate on top of a hill.According to Tobias, the villagers were friendly enough, not as nice as the villages in the east, but he didn't face any significant threats. In short, Tobias only got a few glares from some villagers, but nothing terrible.This village was the first one Tobias met after leaving Rachdale. There were a total of three more villages he had to pass through to get to Westwind.Yesterday, Tobias felt a different temperature, hotter and drier than the east. The land on either side looked barren, not to the point of forming a desert, but few trees were growing.That's why Eldergate Village was not wealthy compared to other villages. Besides lacking commodities, they only traded on crafts and favors from the main city, Westwind.That was why the villagers were sarcastic toward Tob
Tobias' eyes were intense and sharp, staring at the two thugs who looked trembling in fear, realizing one of them had fallen with his right hand severed.Tobias raised his sword, preparing to slash with force. The injured thug tried to crawl, getting closer to his friends. However, Tobias walked up to the man and thrust the tip of his blade into his other hand."AAAKH!"The blade tip pierced through the back of the hand into the palm of the hand, causing the man to suffer a massive groan of pain with both eyes glazed over, crying out. Now, it was no longer a sight of admiration but rather horror."Is there anyone else who wants to challenge me?" asked Tobias, staring firmly at the two thugs.In the end, the two men decided to leave, taking away Tobias's three silver coins while leaving behind his one dying friend. Tobias pulled out his sword, sending blood rushing from the hole in the thug's hand.He told the man to go after the thugs, which he did without arguing, as he still wanted
***The galloping of Tobias's black horse could be heard from the direction of Eldergate, considering there was no one passing by on the main road connecting the city. One of the villagers came out of a house, raised both hands, and waved them, signaling that the man had been moved.Although the journey from Chestervile to Eldergate was rough, surprising, and frightening for Hera. However, the woman did not show her displeasure. In her heart, she must not show any expression that might hurt Tobias' heart, especially since she had gotten more than enough money for the treatment this time.Hera thought of the money as the cost of the 'difficult' journey she had to take to get here. Tobias' eyes clearly saw the villagers standing beside the main road connecting the cities. It took Tobias an hour to get back and forth to Chestervile.Tobias stopped his horse right beside the villager man, "I brought her."The man looked nervous, hurriedly dismounting Hera from Tobias' mount. The middle-ag
***Three weeks later.From Tobias' current direction, he could see a city with many towering factories. Each factory spouted black smoke, the result of burning raw materials into ready-made materials. The price given for refined materials was much more expensive than raw ones.The Westwind region is barren, with no single farm in sight around the city. Tobias remembers it well, the last farmland he saw was in Chestervile, and even then, it wasn't big enough to feed a whole city.On horseback, Tobias went through the city's main street to arrive in front of Westwind's west gate. There was no significant queue, unlike the conditions at Valestria's gates that required inspection.Every now and then, Tobias saw a group of carriages leaving the gate, heading east. The man was sure the goods were being taken to Valestria, not Rachdale or Edinburgh.Tobias, still on horseback, arrived in Westwind. He saw the activities of the townspeople, who most
Robert Ludwig invited Tobias to talk about it in his study, which was located on the fourth floor, just one floor below the upper floor, where Robert used to host rooftop parties.The burly middle-aged man appeared to be walking with his wife while his two children didn't follow their parents. When Tobias was walking with them, he was surprised by the arrival of another man, five years older than him, and Tobias was sure Giselle was still young compared to him.He was a handsome, dark-haired man dressed in simple clothes, a tight white long-sleeved T-shirt, and black trousers. Even more surprising to Tobias was Robert's gesture to the man, seemingly bowing, saluting."I see you have an important guest, Sir Robert," the man said, giving Tobias a sharp, arrogant look."That's right, Your Highness the Prince. He is Tobias Archibald, third son of Thompson Archibald," Robert said, introducing Tobias to the man who was none other than the Royal Prince of Equest
Together with Robert's wife, Tobias walked in with limping steps. The wound on his shoulder had yet to heal, as well as the injury from the hard kick from Thomas. Several servants began to help carry Tobias to the nearest room."Get the medical kit," Robert's wife ordered, the maid nodding obediently.The room door opened, and the servant used this room to rest, but she didn't mind Tobias being treated in the room. The man sat on a chair, clutching the cloth covering the wound on his shoulder."You need to undress first," Robert's wife said, appearing to wash her hands from Tobias' blood.Tobias complied and began to unbutton his shirt and remove it slowly with his right hand, while his left was quite painful to move due to the wound he had received.Tobias' athletic body was exposed to Robert's wife's eyes, occasionally stealing glances at Tobias' abs and chest muscles. However, she looked away as soon as Tobias noticed.The servant came in. She carried a white box filled with a medi

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,
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
"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
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
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
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.
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
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.
