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

CHAPTER 206: TARGETING THE EMPIRE

Seeing that everyone in the room nodded in agreement to his idea, Elos looked towards Hergaf "I heard that you already have an idea of who we should fight against. Therefore, Hergaf! You can say your opinion! As long as I feel that your idea is very good, then we will wear it without hesitation".

Everyone immediately looked towards Hergaf, however Elos called Hergaf to explain the plan he had.

Hergaf was the center of attention for the whole meeting room, although Hergaf did not panic at all. He had been Urmur's right-hand man for many years, but he also led many troops so that this little thing did not panic him at all.

Hergaf stood up from his chair and bowed to Elos first "Master, thank you for the opportunity you gave Hergaf".

Elos waved his hand "There's no need to be too polite, after all I will give an opportunity to anyone who has a plan, so you don't have to be afraid that your plan will make me angry. All right, Hergaf, tell me your plan".

Hergaf stood up straight again, nodding slightly before beginning to explain "You all know that the invaders to your federation are led by Ark, Tersin, Torei, the empire and Grenza. The problem is that Grenza has become our follower who makes it no longer necessary to attack the Forest of Death and our enemy is reduced 1, but there are still 4 other enemies waiting for us"

"Whether in terms of troops or strength it is impossible to fight these 4 forces at the same time, this makes me plan to attack them separately so that they are not too strong. As long as they are alone then we can certainly win, even though Ark and his army are our opponents, without the help of Tersin and Torei then Ark is not our opponent".

"Therefore, among our current 4 enemies then I suggest to attack the empire first".

Everyone immediately thought according to Hergaf's advice, Daran who sat still from earlier finally raised his hand "Miss Hergaf, sorry if you disturb your explanation time, but I here have some questions. Among the 4 powers, why attack the empire first? I think defeating Tersin is much more important, he has weaker power than Torei and Ark, and he has killed Lord Urmur. Although I have never met Mr. Urmur, but as a follower of Mr. Elos then I know how much you hate Tersin, why not attack him first?".

Pride who had a lot of knowledge nodded "This time I agree with Daran, I think attacking the empire is not profitable at all. The imperial territory has a difficult terrain and every ancient person has a strong power, so even the inhabitants cannot be underestimated, as long as we try to attack then our side must receive heavy casualties. Then the empire also did not have any wealth that was profitable if it was captured, they did not have food and resources are lacking, at most they only have mining resources. Although the mines are very profitable, the number of troops that will die for the imperial invasion must be very much, so our losses to attack the empire will be far greater than the profits!".

Elos had to agree to the idea of these 2 people, however the imperial terrain covered by mountains was indeed very difficult to attack. The other biggest problem was that the number of losses of the dead troops was most likely more than gaining imperial territory because the imperial land was indeed vast, but there were no resources whatsoever. Even if they tried to open the fields, all the plants would die each month due to the cold weather in the empire that appeared once every month, there was hardly enough food there.

"Hergaf, you must have heard the words of Pride and Daran, there is no advantage in attacking the empire. As long as we attack them, the chances of us getting losses are much greater than the gains, so why should I attack the empire?", asked Elos waiting for another opinion from Hergaf.

"In addition to invading the empire instead of without advantage, they had a huge amount of human resources as well as being suitable to become warriors, their strong physique made ancient humans very suitable as warriors. As long as the master gains the empire, then the master is equal to gaining another powerful army. Not only that, with the strong physique of ancient humans then they could build houses faster or city walls, the existence of the empire could increase the number of our army to be much larger than it is now".

Elos knocked on the table in front of him several times while thinking, he slowly opened his eyes before saying "You are right, this is the best chance because the empire is at its weakest. The problem is that the terrain of the empire is very difficult, if our troops attack directly then there will definitely be many casualties, I have to think of another plan".

"Sir, if you don't mind then may I speak?", asked Grenza who stood up to say his idea.

The thinking Elos regained his senses, he slightly nodded "Say!".

Grenza began to explain "I know what you are worried about, however the terrain in the empire is indeed very bad which is bound to cause many casualties if our troops attack. But I think to defeat the empire there is absolutely no need for war, we can let them destroy each other".

"You mean?", asked Elos, he had a little understanding of Grenza's words but he could not see all of Grenza's plans completely so he again asked to be sure.

Grenza looked towards Hergaf "Miss Hergaf, how is the political situation in the empire? Does everyone support the Emperor?".

Hearing that, Hergaf suddenly thought of something and said "I remember that all the inhabitants did support the Emperor. But the current crown prince had already acted strangely, especially when it came to knowing that the Emperor was heavily injured! It seems that this Emperor has lived too long that is hundreds of years, this certainly makes the crown prince can not wait anymore to become the next Emperor. If he did not make a move, then the Emperor could live another 500 years without any problems, the crown prince would definitely not be able to wait that long to become Emperor".

Before Grenza could explain, the intelligent Elos could already understand the intent of Grenza's plan, but Elos let Grenza explain it to the end.

Grenza again said again "This is an opportunity, as long as the lord provides support to the crown prince to fight the Emperor, especially in terms of finances, then the master only needs to wait until the crown prince and the Emperor fight each other. No matter who wins or loses, in the end the winning side must also be injured by fighting each other, then that time we can strike that definitely reduces the number of casualties on our side when going to war against the victor between the Emperor and the crown prince!".
