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

CHAPTER 142: MILITARY LAW IS FIRM, BUT NOT RIGID!

Elos nodded to the soldier's reply, saying neither the answer was right nor wrong but pointing to another soldier who thought that Pride was violating the military law "What about you? Do you think that way too?".

"I feel so too, sir", replied the soldier respectfully to Elos.

Elos did not give any more responses and simply chose another soldier "Are you that way too?".

"Yes sir, I think the answer of 2 of my other colleagues was not wrong!", replied another soldier who was chosen by Elos "But I think that putting Miss Pride to death is not right because she did not plan to carry out any rebellion. Therefore, Miss Pride broke the military law, yet she was able to obtain leniency like a demotion!".

After getting the answers from the 3 people, Elos shook his head and looked towards the more than half of the soldiers who chose that Pride broke the military law "Answer you all really disappointed me, though, moreover, half of you feel that what Pride did is against military law".

When Elos said all that, the entire surrounding soldiers were shocked, however Pride moved more than 1000 troops without Elos' permission which meant he had already violated military rules. Even some soldiers began to think that Elos was too siding with Pride, as a special soldier Elos then Pride must have been given special treatment.

Looking at everyone's faces, Elos knew what they were thinking so an extremely powerful Ruler of Death aura emerged from Elos' body. As a rank 4 power, the aura belonging to Elos was immediately suppressing everyone around as if they were in front of death.

"Are you all stupid?" said Elos coldly "I have never taken sides, especially when enforcing military law. Are you all confused as to why I said that Pride did not violate any military law? Then I will tell you a sentence at this time that the military law is firm, anyone who violates it will definitely be given the appropriate law, but that does not mean the military law is rigid!".

"Military laws could change according to the circumstances, at that time Pride moved because he saw myself who was trapped by the Ray Kingdom and the Federation of Merchants. If one day I give you the task of guarding the capital of Dyremann, then I am suddenly captured by the enemy, are you going to help you or continue to remain silent in the Capital of Dyremann in accordance with the military law that is to follow the duties given by the superior? I ask again, actually your loyalty is you give to whom? Me or military law?".

"The military law is only a tool for me to discipline you soldiers who can change according to circumstances, all Pride actions do not violate any law. He moved the army knowing that I was trapped by the enemy and the goal was not rebellion but to disrupt the Merchant Federation so that its forces attacking Novus Island would be disturbed. In addition, Pride did not leave his duty to guard the Capital of Dyremann, as proof then he did not bring Wrath, Envy and Lust to join the war.3 people were left to guard the Capital of Dyremann, Dyremann, so the question is where does Pride break military law?".

All the soldiers around became silent, no one could answer Elos' question.

Elos only saw the soldiers who had been silent for a while before saying again "Pride moves the troops to defend myself, if I punish the one who fights to defend me then who else will defend me in the future? I do need a loyal soldier, but it's better if the soldier is loyal and intelligent!".

"Even though we consider Pride to be violating military law, his actions of seizing 5 cities belonging to the Chamber of Commerce of Loris as well as almost seizing their capital could already be given great rewards. Was the award he received not at all sufficient to cover up his violation of military law?".

"If any of you disagree with what I say then go ahead! I will give you 5000 soldiers, you can choose 1 out of the 10 large chambers of commerce in the Federation of Merchants, as long as you can defeat him with a week and 5000 soldiers I give then I can think again about your disapproval! After all Pride could defeat the 10 great chambers of the Federation of Merchants namely the Loris Chamber of Commerce with just 2000 troops and a time of about 3 days, therefore I have already given you a lot of advantages!".

No one dared to go forward, even those who had previously raised their hands to agree to the military law-breaking Pride began to lower their hands because all the soldiers felt that what Elos had said was right, he has acted fairly.

At least Pride did all this for Elos, although he did not get Elos' permission but the situation at that time was Elos was being surrounded by enemies so it was not strange if Pride moved alone.

Looking at everyone who didn't mind anymore, Elos looked back at Pride "You didn't do anything wrong, therefore you don't have to regret the actions you did. Besides I will not give you punishment but appreciation for your actions, among the 5 cities you have captured then you can choose 1 as your territory! You can elect a mayor and have to pay my annual tax, and if you can't manage that city properly then I'll pull it off, do you mind the reward I give you?".

"No sir!", answered Pride respectfully "I am pleased with the gift you gave me, Pride will definitely do her best to manage the lord-given city".

"Then let all the soldiers prepare, since we are already in front of the Loris Capital then there is no need to waste any more time, we will seize this capital with a single move! Do not give time for the help of the Federation of Merchants to come and help them!", Elos said firmly.

"Well, sir!", answered all the troops decisively and began to walk away from this place, they took their weapons and armor and began marching to storm the Capital of Loris.

"I will take over all these attacks" Elos told Pride, who had previously been the leader of the offensive.

"Since the master is here then only the master can lead the entire army" Pride said firmly.

Elos waved his hand "Let them go, victory is in sight so why should I bother making peace! As long as I manage to seize the Capital of Loris, all of their treasures are mine as well. Therefore, they definitely can't give me what I need".

The soldier went back to reporting "Master, the one who came was the current head of the Loris Chamber of Commerce, Fern Loris! He said that he only needed 1 minute, as long as he could not convince the master with 1 minute then he did not mind if the master attacked them".

Elos was a little surprised at Fern's confidence, it seems he really has something great that can make him confident to make Elos reconcile with just 1 minute.
