I BECAME A SKULL IN ANOTHER WORLD WITH THE LABYRINTH MASTER'S WORK.
CHAPTER 215: THE INVASION OF THE EMPIRE HAS BEGUN
Unbeknownst to the Emperor or his followers, thousands of rebels came to the capital secretly as normal residents. If it was just rebels then they couldn't possibly pass through the gates of the capital, however every gate of the capital had a myriad of guards who would check one's identity first before coming to the capital. But the problem was that these rebels had the support of the crown prince, therefore they could pass through the gates of the capital easily.
After these rebels arrived, Kulen who was the crown prince's strategist began to hide these rebels in the secret place that the crown prince had prepared long ago.
By day 3, nearly 10,000 rebel forces were already in the capital, while another 50,000 rebel forces were holed up around the forests of the capital. Their goal was to distract the troops guarding the city gates so that the 10,000 rebels already in the capital could directly attack the Emperor.
The crown prince also sent Kulen again during the day to tell Nera that they were going to attack the Emperor tonight, so Nera had to prepare.
Looking at the letter on the table, Nera slightly smiled "That crown prince, it seems that he doesn't trust me too much either. He didn't even tell me all of his plans to attack the emperor, he only told me to immediately go to the emperor's palace as long as the other rebels diverted the attention of the emperor's forces. Is this Kulen's plan?".
"Nera, what should we do next? Do we have to call for more help from the Federation Master Labyrinth?", said Lasha a little worried, however as long as they brought in more troops here then the chances of them being able to win became greater.
"There is no need, after all there is a Terphis here so the possibility of us winning is still very large, even if the crown prince and the emperor cooperate with each other even with the help of the Terphis, then, we can still escape the empire alive" said Nera smiling confidently "Not to mention we still have the help of Fillie, our plan is unlikely to fail. Different from the crown prince, Filie will not betray us because since he became a special soldier then it means he can not betray me anymore. After all, only those who are loyal can become the special soldiers of the Master of the Labyrinth".
Nera's requirement yesterday to Fillie is for Filie to be a soldier in particular, that way Filie can't betray him anymore. In addition, Nera has another reason to be a soldier, especially Phillie is a close friend of Aruse, if Filie is not part of their group then there is a possibility Aruse informs their plans again to Fillie. Therefore, let Fillie be a loyal special soldier so that today's events do not happen again.
Moreover, Filie was not at all weak, he previously had the power of rank 3, by becoming a special warrior of Elos then his strength increased to a level 9 god which was the same as the strength of Elos and Riona now.
According to Fillie, the power of a tier 9 god was the same as the power of Folk, while the right hand of the emperor hence he had the same power of a tier 8 god as the emperor.
Although Folk have the same level as Riona, their strength is still different because as a special soldier Elos, Riona has a stronger power than others.
Not to mention the power of Elos now, he indeed only had the power of a rank 9 god right now, but Elos could say confidently that he could fight a rank 7 god without any problems.
"Terficially, tell Fillie that the plan is to start tonight, let him prepare more troops in his possession, as long as I give a sign then he must move immediately to take control of this entire capital. Phillie's main goal with his army was not to kill the emperor or the crown prince, but to kill those loyal to the emperor and the crown prince, not to let any accomplices of the emperor and the crown prince live. Tell him not to forget his duty" Nera said with cold eyes "When the man who killed the emperor with the crown prince, we will do it ourselves, let me see how powerful this emperor really is."
"I understand sir", said Terphis who immediately left here to tell Fillie.
...----------------...
The guards above the city walls still had to keep watch even though all the residents were sleeping, therefore their faces looked extremely tired. There were even some guards who had fallen asleep secretly, however they had been guarding the gates of this city for years to decades, after all, the capital had never been attacked which allowed them to sleep without problems, they never thought that anyone could attack the capital tonight.
As the night grew darker and almost all the guards were asleep, a guard standing guard over the city walls with half-closed eyes suddenly discovered something.
As his eyes were almost completely closed, he found several figures emerging from the forest near the capital.
At first he only thought that the figure was an ape or animal from the forest, he said, but after he looked carefully again then he realized that the figure that emerged from the forest was not an ape but thousands of troops.
At night, thousands of heavily armed troops emerged from the forest near the capital without any news, even fools knew that the troops must have belonged to the enemy.
The guards who had already noticed it instantly shouted frantically towards the surrounding people "You guys are all buildings! Enemy attack! There's an enemy attacking!".
Before all the soldiers guarding the gate could get up, thousands of arrows were fired by the enemy leaving most of the city guards wounded or dead, after all, they were all still just waking up so it was impossible to immediately avoid the firing.
The leader of the rebel forces that were in front of the city wall instantly raised his sword "Strike! Defeat the ruthless emperor who has starved us all to death! Let the cunning emperor descend from his throne!".
"Light!", the other rebel forces shouted excitedly, they ran towards the gates of the capital while carrying the stairs.
The reason why these rebels were so excited was that they hated the emperor so much, especially the emperor that they had to lose their families to starvation. Therefore, this war was for revenge as well as bringing about changes to the entire empire.
The guards above the surviving city walls quickly activated alarms that spread throughout the capital, the previously very silent night being noisy by the cries of the soldiers as well as the weapons in their hands.
The newly sleeping people, especially the soldiers who should be off duty today should jump out of their beds and put on armour and take up weapons, he said, the alarm signaled that the capital had been attacked which made them have to prepare as well.
As most of the soldiers gathered at the gates of the capital against the invading rebels, thousands of others under the leadership of General Folk began to move in secret.
