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

CHAPTER 57: ICE GATE

"What did Marquis Nate do to the point of making so many people die?" said Elos curiously.

The leader among these mayors said with a grim face "He made taxes on the population fields as much as 90% while his 10% was ours, this made us experience a great food crisis. If it wasn't for some people going out hunting every day to get food, the whole town would have been starving".

"In addition, all the beautiful women had to be sent to the Marquis's Nate Island, most of these women never returned. According to some news of unknown origin, these women were sold as slaves or never seen again. Therefore, any resident who has a beautiful child or younger sister, then they will definitely hide it. Fortunately the residents of the city were like family, so we tried to cover each other up".

Elos nodded, This Marquis Nate is no longer suitable to be called a human, at least none of his actions are right.

"You need not worry, Marquis Nate will definitely not live any longer" Elos said "I accept you as my followers, as long as you do not betray then I will lead you to prosperity. At least you don't have to worry about hunger anymore, I don't set taxes that are too big for my residents".

"Thank you sir!", cried the mayors who stood up and saluted Elos.

After that Zeyi brought the mayors away from here, only Elos and Riona remained in the room.

"Riona, send each city 100 soldiers to stand guard there, besides all residents and soldiers of the surrendered city must give their weapons. Whoever still carries a weapon then we consider him an enemy, every enemy must die!", said Elos full of decisiveness.

"No need to worry Elos, I will settle this matter" said Riona who hugged Elos a little before walking away from here, there were only them in the room so Riona dared to act close with Elos.

Elos who was sitting in his chair was still frozen, he was shocked towards Riona who was hugging him all of a sudden.

Elos who regained consciousness smiled bitterly, he shook his head "The woman, she acts to be bolder every day. If I'm not an undead then-".

Then Elos stood up from his chair, he stopped thinking about all this because his goal was in sight to defeat Marquis Nate. Right now he absolutely must not think about too many unimportant things, otherwise there was a possibility of Marquis Nate defeating him.

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

After getting 8 new cities that were part of the followers of Elos, then Elos led his army again to go directly to Ruher City.

Lumina should have attacked the city, but whether Lumina had managed to capture it or not then Elos himself was completely ignorant.

However Ruher City was different from the 8 cities that Elos captured, Ruher City was surrounded by a large stone wall, besides the residents and soldiers there were also much more. At least tens of times that of Hiam City, therefore Lumina might not have been able to capture the city.

As the time was approaching night, Elos and his army had already arrived near the city of Ruher. Elos who was staring at Ruher City felt a little surprised, even Elos thought that he was staring at the illusion of having almost night.

After confirming his sight many times, Elos was convinced that everything that was happening in front of him was true.

"What's going on here?", Zeyi was also a little surprised at all this, to freeze an iron gate of this size then it would at least take a lot of ice magicians to chant simultaneously. The problem was, they did not have that many ice magicians at all which made this definitely not their action.

As Elos led the army through the city gates, he also discovered that there were countless warriors turned into ice sculptures.

Be it above the city gate or in the city itself, there were hundreds to thousands of warriors who became ice sculptures.

"Riona, are you cold?", said Elos who looked at Riona beside him, as an undead then Elos did not feel cold at all, but Riona could feel the cold.

Riona shook her head "This is indeed a little cooler than the places we've been to before, but I have no problem holding this cold".

Not long after, a soldier wearing the Ruher City armor came over.

Seeing the warrior, all the Elos warriors took up their weapons to fight.

"Wait, I didn't come here to fight! I came here to send a message to Lord Elos of Admiral Lumina", cried the soldier who raised his weapon to show that he had not come here to fight.

"Let down your weapons" said the nodding Elos, this warrior has only rank 9 strength so that if he attacks Elos secretly though then Elos is still confident to be able to fight him.

After all the Elos warriors lowered their weapons, the soldier walked over with a face full of fear, especially Kronev who kept staring intently at himself from afar.

"Are you Mr Elos?" said the soldier to Elos, Lumina telling him that Elos was the undead who convinced him.

"Say, what message does Lumina have?", asked Elos, wasting no more time.

"Mr Elos, Admiral Lumina said that Ruher City had already been captured, most of the Ruher City troops had already died into ice sculptures while the soldiers who could survive like me were those who surrendered. In addition, there was another message also that said that Admiral Lumina would directly attack Leit City, he was sure that tonight then he could seize Leit City without any problems", the soldier replied with worry.

Elos nodded "Alright, good work for telling this message. But do you know who did all this to the city? Especially that gate that had already been shattered and frozen, was Lumina also the one who did it?".

The soldier immediately shook with fear when he remembered the previous incident, although he was afraid but he was more afraid of Elos becoming angry because he did not tell this incident.

Therefore, the soldier began to recount everything he had seen before "That's right, Admiral Lumina did all that. More precisely, Admiral Lumina was like 1 man against an entire city. He hardly ever used an undead to help him fight".
