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

CHAPTER 53: THE PLAN

It had been 2 days since Elos let Rolir return the man who was the messenger of Marquis Nate, but there was still no response from Marquis Nate.

Although there was no definitive response from Marquis Nate, Elos again gathered all the leaders from the Animal Man Kingdom together with Riona and Lumina.

This meeting was held in the meeting room at the palace of Elos, almost all of these higher-ups came to the meeting very early.

The entire person in the meeting room was very silent, they were sitting around the large circle table that was in the middle of the room.

The door of the meeting room slowly opened, the figure of Elos with Riona and Lumina could be seen.

Elos sat on the chair located at the center of the table, while Riona and Lumina sat next to him.

"We welcome the arrival of the master!", answered everyone who stood up and bowed to Elos.

Elos who had just sat down slightly nodded "Don't be too polite, however we came here to discuss a matter that is very important and very decisive for the future of our kingdom, so there is no need to spend too much time on unnecessary things. Zeyi, report everything the Intel ministry knows".

"Okay sir!", replied Zeyi with firmness.

Everyone sat back down and only Zeyi still stood "The main area of Marquis Nate is located in the Capital of Nate which is located on an island in the middle of the sea, therefore it is very difficult to get information about them. Even Marquis Nate's island was quite covered, more precisely the person who could come there was not an arbitrary person. All ships coming to the island must be thoroughly inspected, so the collection of information we have collected is very difficult as well as the issue of whether this information is true or not remains to be questioned".

"Marquis Nate has not yet responded to master, but recently in Hiam City, Ruher City, the capital, Kote Leit and the other 7 cities belonging to Marquis Nate gathered a great number of young and powerful men, it seems that these people were gathered to serve as soldiers. After they register and receive, they will be sent to Nate Island, we can't be sure if they're really soldiers because there's not a single member of Intel's ministry on Nate Island".

Bare said without hesitation "How many men do they gather? As long as we know the number of people they recruit, we can know their goals".

"Our quick count has about 5000 people, while the exact number we don't know, there should be at least 7000 people brought to Nate Island" Zeyi said

"7000 people? They must have been made as soldiers, otherwise it would have been impossible for them to recruit that many people" Rolir said confidently.

Elos thought for a while before saying "They must have started preparing for battle, but they seemed to be training the soldiers who needed the least amount of time for a month. Even soldiers trained for a month must have low cooperation and discipline, therefore they may need more time to be ready to fully attack us. What do you think should be done as long as the enemy is busy training his troops?".

Elage gave the earliest advice "Maybe we should gather our own residents as well to train as soldiers, if needed then we can withdraw the help from the guild we have made. Maybe those adventurers can help us fight as long as they are paid enough".

Bare nodded "We can also strengthen our city walls, that way the enemy will be more difficult to attack".

"If we are going to strengthen the city wall then we have to increase the number of our archers, in the defense fight using the city wall, the archers are the best fighters" Tira said.

Everyone stared at Lumina, they were interested to see if Lumina was really as talented as Elos had said.

Lumina slightly bowed to Elos "Master, if it's a battle over the sea then I can make sure to master to bring victory, but I'm not very good at land warfare. If that's my opinion, the best way to fight the current enemy is to attack them. Moreover, many strategists often mention "The best defense is to attack", if we only survive the enemy attack then we will be a passive group, and we will be a passive group, the losses and the pressure exerted by the enemy must have become heavier for our troops".

"But if we attack then our position becomes active, we can make the enemy confused by dividing our attack. Even the enemy may never think that we are attacking them, as long as the enemy is surprised and confused then the advantage for us in this war will be greater. But all I'm giving you is just a suggestion, the decision is still in your hands. After all, without a good strategy then attacking the enemy can also bring losses for us".

"Riona, what do you think?" said Elos looking for another opinion, even though he is a leader but Elos still listen to the opinions of others in order to make the best strategy.

"Actually Lumina's idea is quite good, at least for our current state then the strategy is the most suitable" Riona said giving her opinion "The enemy is busy training new soldiers, the enemy is busy training new soldiers, therefore they must be unprepared for our attack. More precisely the enemy never thought that we would attack them, even though the number of our soldiers was far more than them. The idea of strengthening the city walls and others is not bad, but in terms of cost and time then this is not very profitable".

Elos nodded "Then it's decided, Bare!".

"Well, sir!", Bare immediately stood up straight as Elos called out to him.

"Prepare all the soldiers! Leave 1000 soldiers to remain in the capital of Dyremann so they can defend if the enemy attacks" Elos said.

"Okay sir, I will prepare it as soon as possible" Bare said firmly.

Elos nodded "In addition, everyone will join this war. Except for Elage and Rolir who will be in charge of guarding the Capital of Dyremann as long as we go, everyone else goes to war. Do you all understand?".

"We understand, sir!", this time everyone stood up and replied with firmness.

"You can go now and get ready" Elos said.

Slowly everyone in the room left, now only Elos, Riona and Lumina remained in the room.

"Master, may I give you another suggestion?", asked Lumina a little hesitantly to Elos.

"Saran? Tell me, as long as your advice is good enough then I will not hesitate to wear it*, said Elos who just stood up and will leave this place.

"Why don't we split our army into 2? The master leads the main army that has the most soldiers, while the other forces only need 1000 people as well as me as their leader. As long as master attacks a city then I will attack another city, that way then our attack movements can become faster" Lumina said.
