Midnight.
"Looks like they've stopped," Tobias said, opening the curtains and watching as the people who kept booing him began to leave, returning to their homes to rest.
Things were as quiet as last night, a perfect time for Tobias to leave. Unlike Robert and Selena, who had said goodbye earlier, Fiona was the only one in the inn.
The preparations to leave had been made, even three hours before midnight came. Tobias walked out of the room wearing a white-and-gold suit and his black furry coat. His right hand seemed to be carrying his bags of belongings on Tobias' back.
Not only the people before the inn but also the visitors had already fallen into a peaceful sleep. When Tobias reached the lobby, he was moved to see a sleeping Fiona sitting on the sofa.
"Mrs. Fiona, Lord Tobias has-"
Tobias raised one finger to his mouth, indicating he didn't want the receptionist to wake Fiona.
"Let her rest. It's been a tiring day for her," Tobias
***The next day.Tobias continued his journey; the sun began to rise, and the villagers returned to their normal activities. However, Tobias' journey was accompanied by someone, more precisely, an apprentice who wanted to learn Tobias' Myurajin Moon technique.Felicia, the second child of the House of Ludwig. A 16-year-old girl with dusky brown hair and warm sand skin tone. She appeared to be wearing a suit that made riding easy, white trousers and a dark brown shirt. She rode her own horse, different from Tobias', smaller with a dominant white color.Felicia initially followed Tobias unarmed, wearing only a black cloak over her body like an assassin. Tobias bought her a small sword, the type commonly used for female apprentices like her.Tobias recognized that in order to use the Myurajin Moon technique, Felicia would have to use at least a katana-type sword, like his own. However, the last sword forger Tobias knew was probably dead after doing s
Due to the close distance between his current position and Vitrea City, Tobias decided to visit the city to negotiate with the Vitrea City Leader.Tobias and Felicia went together with the troops as if they were being given a full escort. The desert's weather seemed calmer than before, a moment that Tobias and Felicia took full advantage of to travel."Is Hugo the ruling noble of the city?" Tobias asked.The man rode side by side with Vitrea City's army leader. The man nodded slowly. Hugo was the ruling noble who had led the city for ten generations."Yes. There are many nobles in the city, considering Vitrea is the second largest city after Carlisle," said the man, focusing on the road in front of him while still answering every question Tobias asked."But Hugo being the best and strongest, many nobles try to work with them well," the man explained."This is the first time Hugo has proposed cooperation to another noble, never before," conti
***Four days later.Vitrea city was located behind the Virmount mountain, which divides the western and southern regions. Mount Virmount isn't that big. In fact, Virmount is more like a hill than a mountain.In addition to its size not being as big as the mountain Tobias knew, the Virmount area did not appear to have a circle of craters like other mountains. However, the townspeople proudly said it was a mountain.There was one village at the fountain of Virmount, which maintained strict traditions about Virmount. The village was also used as an entrance to the peak of the mountain and to go to the western region.Tobias, Felicia, and Liam left the village after spending a day. They traveled in a convoy down the hill to arrive at a city fully protected by huge, perfectly square walls.At every corner stood a solid tower with a large circular diameter, capable of holding 10-15 archers and placing medium-sized artillery defenses. There were four towers in total with a considerable numb
The noise attracted the other two people's attention. Josephine walked out by opening the door, her body seemingly covered by her bathrobe. Her skin and hair color were the same as Iris, except she was shorter."What's going on, Iris?" asked Josephine, looking softly motherly, in contrast to Iris's harsh demeanor.Iris looked up, standing with Felicia in her arms. She smiled broadly, saying everything was fine. Josephine watched Tobias, who still sat in shock, his handsomeness making Josephine curious for a taste."Who is that handsome man behind you, Iris?" asked Josephine, pointing gracefully at Tobias."Oh, he's an Archibald. He's the one Beatrix was looking for," Iris replied, turning her body to stare at the young Archibald."An elite noble of Equestria. I wonder how his body feels," Josephine teased.Her body curves were clearly seen as she walked closer to the man. The two sisters' attitudes certainly threw Tobias into confusion, as t
Iris arrived at Beatrix's study after the woman told her to come. Tobias and Felicia were seen sitting before Beatrix's desk. Tobias and Beatrix were talking about business, while Felicia seemed to notice Tobias's dignified demeanor.Beatrix's sister, who manages Vitrea's economy, walks up to Beatrix's desk. She handed over two files containing last month's crops and another with the previous month's trade report.Beatrix smiled, accepting the two files Iris had given her to look over with Tobias. The Hugo Family leader didn't mind Tobias looking at the files containing the city's important data, as the trade agreement between the two was important to Hugo and required clear transparency."For food stability this month, we have a stockpile of last month's crop, as well as food reserves that are always kept for emergencies," Beatrix replied."We may be able to overcome the hunger problem until the second week of next month. However, in such a period of tim
The door to Beatrix's study opened, and two people came out, attracting the attention of Iris, Josephine, and Felicia. Tobias came out with a smile, holding a scroll of paper in his hand.Beatrix accompanied Tobias to the front of the office. The trade agreement and the possibility of an Alliance between the east and the South had been agreed upon. To embrace all the forces in the South, Beatrix would be in charge.In these six months, the two regions would cooperate to fulfill their respective places' needs. Since it was a long way for Leafvile to go around Virmount Mountain, Tobias would temporarily stay in the south until the bridge was repaired.Felicia walked up to Tobias, and he greeted her gently as he stroked her head of hair, "Our business is done in this place. We'll probably stay a day or two in Vitrea before coming to Asakusa.""Welcome to Vitrea City. I hope you like my city's hospitality and crowds," Beatrix replied.Tobias and Felicia said goodbye to Beatrix, Iris, and
Nancy's husband turned his head slowly, staring at his wife, standing with her heart beating fast. He was completely shocked to realize the actual name of the man before him was Taichi Hayashi; they knew Hayashi very well."Hayashi, protector clan of Yamaguchi," the man before Tobias replied, making Tobias gasp in surprise as Nancy's husband seemed to loosen his grip on the young man's collar."H-How did you know...?""Is something wrong, Lord Tobias?" asked Felicia.The shocked expression on the paled white face made Felicia wonder; she had never seen the expression Tobias showed before. Felicia looked back at Nancy's family, trying to figure out what they both wanted."I don't think he knows about it yet," Nancy replied.Nancy's husband nodded his head; Liam knew the man as Jason. Jason turned around, looking at Liam, who remained standing behind them, looking confused."Could you take Lady Felicia out for a moment, Liam? There's so
The door to Nancy and Jason's residence opened. Jason and Tobias came out of the house while Nancy walked over to Felicia. Nancy and Jason agreed to let Tobias and Felicia stay as they wanted."Come, let me show you where your room is," Nancy said.The woman seemed to be carrying Felicia's belongings. Felicia smiled and thanked them both for their kindness. Her eyes occasionally turned to Tobias, who was walking further away from the place."Where is Tobias going?" asked Felicia, her mind filled with curiosity."My husband is taking him to meet someone, an old friend," Nancy replied."Oh, I had no idea Tobias had friends in the village," Felicia replied."Neither do I, sweetheart," said Nancy.The woman continued walking with both hands, seemingly carrying two medium-sized bags. As we approached the room where Tobias and Felicia would be staying, Nancy did not hesitate to tell us how she had built this house.Not only was she t

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.
