I BECAME A SKULL IN ANOTHER WORLD WITH THE LABYRINTH MASTER'S WORK.

CHAPTER 112: PROTECTION

Elos did not directly agree to Halon's idea but rather thought about Duke Wock, among the 3 great dukes of the Ray Kingdom then Elos knew most about Duke Wock's. Even compared to Duke Heirith who was the target of the Merchant Federation sending Pride along with the others to kill him, Elos was still more familiar with Duke Wock.

The reason was none other than Duke Wock's territory adjacent to the Portus Aureus Province region, even Yact Port which was in Yact City was Duke Wock's territory.

Yact Port is a port used by elite soldiers to the 3rd Ray Kingdom as a place to go to Novus Island by sea, therefore, both land and sea, the Portus Aureus Province is adjacent to Duke Wock.

If by land then the City of Portus Aureus itself is bordered by the City of Wock which became the seat of the government of Duke Wock, while the sea area then the sea of Novus Island is bordered by the City of Yact.

Although not very great at sea war, Elos had heard that Duke Wock had a fire cavalry that made him very feared among the nobles of the Kingdom of Ray. Although Elos had never seen this fire cavalry in person, but Elos had heard that the fire cavalry was led by a rank 4 power who was the best soldier of Duke Wock and each army was an elite not inferior to the king's elite troops.

Elos thought of the profit and loss from fighting Duke Wock, although it seemed that fighting against Duke Wock would be difficult but as long as Elos could win then Elos could take Duke Wock's territory.

The reason why Duke Wock could have such great cavalry was that he had a lot of money, rather there was a giant iron mine in his area that became the main moneymaker for Duke Wock. If Elos can master that iron mine then he will definitely gain a great advantage.

Not to mention the increasing number of adventurers and warriors in the Animal Man Kingdom of Elos, this made him need more iron for weapons or armor.

After thinking about all that, Elos opened his eyes again "Are you sure you can defeat the king of Ray Kingdom alone?".

Halon smiled confidently "From the beginning, Ray Kingdom was just an ant in my eyes. What I'm worried about is you, Duke Wock is not an easy opponent. Especially there is a figure who might bother you as well besides the Duke".

"Who?", asked Elos curiously, he had never heard of another strong person in Duke Wock's territory.

"You must know him, Serun the hero" said Halon looking carefully at Elos.

"Serun?", Elos' face slowly grew cold, despite having been in this world for almost a year but Elos could not forget them "What are they doing in Duke Wock's territory?".

"In Duke Wock's territory there is a maze owned by Mr. Fran, it seems that the heroes from other worlds are busy increasing their strength there. Although a hero is just a Myth level job that is much weaker than our God level Master Labyrinth job, I suggest you not underestimate him too much because the hero has another unique power that he can use the power of a good god and has a very powerful light power, maybe you can't win easily against them. Hows it? Are you interested in getting revenge?".

"Whether me and them have no relationship anymore, since they didn't help me that day then I won't help them in the future either. Even so, I have absolutely no grudge against them, however it is not strange if someone is afraid to fight the Goddess just for me, therefore I do not blame them for the choice", elos said seemingly indifferently, then his voice turned cold "But if they dare to block my path then I will definitely kill them!".

Looking at the resolute Elos, Halon was pleased "I really didn't misjudge you, then our plan is already determined. I'm leaving now because from tomorrow I have to be ready to attack the Ray Kingdom".

"Very fast?", asked Elos who was a little surprised that Halon would attack tomorrow.

Halon smiled "The sooner we attack the better, after all there is a possibility that the enemy knows our plan. Therefore, we must attack the enemy as quickly as possible before they have any preparations to fight us".

Currently there are only Elos, Riona, Kronev, Lumina and Pride still in this room, rather they are waiting for Elos' decision.

Elos thought for a while before saying "We will also follow Halon's movement, prepare the whole army to move as quickly as possible to Portus Aureus City, tomorrow we will leave".

"Okay, sir", everyone replied firmly.

"Pride, you'll be guarding the Animal Man Kingdom with Wrath, however it's possible that the Merchant Federation attacked us as long as I'm not around because I was the one who foiled their plan to kill Duke Heirith. Let Lust, Envy, and Gluttony help while the others will come with me. Bare and Zeyi will be back in this war, Rolir will keep the Animal Man Kingdom for 2 other leaders to come with me. Tell them to get ready as soon as possible" Elos said.

"Okay, sir!", replied everyone else who immediately left this room to inform Elos of the news, only Kronev and Riona remain in the room as Kronev is Elos' bodyguard while Riona also stands around Elos to protect him.

Elos stood up and walked away from the room followed by Kronev and Riona "We also have to prepare, however this time we will go again for a few months or years so the issue of the government when we leave must be prepared".

Kronev and Riona nodded, they went to settle all the remaining royal matters so as not to make trouble while they went to war later.

...----------------...

Halon was already in front of the gates of the Capital of Dyremann along with Kurt and Hepior, respectively, when Hepior was about to open the teleportation magic circle to make them return to the Halon Labyrinth then Halon raised her hand which made Hepior stop her magic.

"Kurt, you're going to move quietly to protect Elos" Halon said.

"Master, this is too risky!", cried Hepior disagreed "Ray Kingdom is not an enemy that can be underestimated, if Kurt leaves then there is only me and the master who has the power of rank 3, which is the only enemy, Ray Kingdom was not something that could be defeated with just 2 rank 3 people. Moreover, Lord Elos only attacked Duke Wock's territory, with the troops and followers that were in the hands of Lord Elos then it was enough for him to win".

"Kurt, go and watch over Elos secretly!", said Halon stubbornly to his Golem followers "As a senior then I can't let my junior die because of the duties I've given, other than that the Ray Kingdom is indeed strong but I'm not weak. We will definitely not lose, Hepior. It's my decision and it can't change anymore!".

Seeing his stubborn master then Hepior did not speak much anymore, Kurt saluted before going to protect Elos secretly.

"Sir, do you have to protect Mr. Elos to put yourself at risk?", asked Hepior who still disagreed with Halon's decision.

"I now slightly understand the reason why Lord Urmur forbade the Master of the Labyrinth to fight each other" said Halon slightly smiling "As a senior then I would definitely blame myself if Elos died because of the task I was given. Hepior, you are indeed smart but you do not understand at all against a senior trying to protect his junior! Let's get out of here, use your teleportation magic".

Hepior could only shake his head and use his magic, the figure of the 2 people disappeared from in front of the gate of the Dyremann Capital under teleportation magic.
