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

CHAPTER 66: THE SEA WAR BEGINS

The day after Elos had finished taking the 10 cities, the news soon spread throughout the Ray Kingdom. Not just the Ray Kingdom, rather this news had already spread throughout the world causing an uproar.

Previously no one had dared to be hostile to the Ray Kingdom, however they all knew that the Ray Kingdom had quite a strong position among the other human kingdoms. Therefore, being hostile to the Kingdom of Ray is akin to seeking death upon oneself.

But Elos' bold move surprised everyone, some people considered Elos as brave and intelligent who used this strategy to fight Marquis Nate. While some others considered this action to be foolish, Elos was too foolish to seek his own death against the Ray Kingdom.

Marquis Nate who was on Nate Island became angry at the news, even he was ready to send thousands of new soldiers who had not finished training to fight to the death against Elos.

But the representative of the Marquis who was a rank 6 storm mage reminded the Marquis not to panic, as long as they made good use of Nate island to fight Elos then they would definitely win.

With the persuasion of his deputy, the Marquis became silent again and decided to wait for Elos. In addition, the Marquis sent a letter seeking help to the king.

On the 3rd day since Lumina was still training the slaves, Elos restarted the meeting among all her higher-ups.

All the higher-ups of Elos came to the meeting, except for Rolir and Elage who were left behind in the Capital of Dyremann to guard the Animal Man Kingdom during their war.

Elos looked at everyone in the meeting room "Where is Warren? Didn't I tell all the higher-ups to come?".

When Elos said this, a man with short blond hair and a handsome face raised his hand "Master, am I Warren already present at this meeting?".

Elos looked at the man strangely, this man wearing a Dullahan armor that was almost the same as Warren. The problem is that Warren has no human face at all, he is Dullahan. Besides that as Dullahan then Warren should have a head that is detached from his body, while this Warren does not look much different from other normal humans.

So Elos hit the table angrily "Guard! Where are the guards? Why did you let a freak come to this meeting room? Immediately take these swindlers and slash his head, how dare he disguise as a follower of Warren!".

Before the guards came, Tira who was the representative of Warren in the guild raised her hand "I'm sorry if I interrupt what you said, but this man is indeed the head of Warren. More precisely Chairman Warren had already turned out to be like this a few days ago".

"What?", said Elos still full of disbelief, he decided to look at the status of this man directly.

[Warren (Rank 7)

Occupation: Dullahan (Legendary)

Ability :

the Spear of Darkness (Legendary)

- Riding (Normal)]

There was no change to Warren's status except that his supposed rank 8 had already risen to rank 7, Elos said again "Did his rank increase make him turn more and more like a human?".

Under Elos' curious gaze, Warren removed his head.

Elos stopped thinking about it, because the person in front of him was really Warren then no need to bother about it anymore. As Warren's reasoning turned increasingly human-like, Elos could ask him after the war was over.

"Well, my goal is to call all of you here to announce a few things" Elos said before saying again "the 10 cities we have captured will become a new province of the Animal Kingdom , I call it Portus Aureus Province with Portus Aureus City as the capital. From now on, Nors became the governor of the province and Zeyi could choose his representative from the ape-man race. Ilina will be mayor of Hiam City while the mayor of the other cities will be re-elected by me, Riona, Lumina, Rolir the king, Zeyi the prime minister and Bare as the general of the kingdom. As for the matter of taxes and the others then the same as the other territories in the Animal Kingdom, I will not distinguish just because the residents here are humans".

"Then the preparation of all the troops to board the ship, 4 more days we will experience a sea war. Then another report will be submitted by Zeyi".

Zeyi stood up and bowed to Elos before he began reporting "During this war we got 10,720 gold coins, although most of them came from the Leghi Chamber of Commerce. After paying the salaries and rewards for the soldiers as well as giving some of the money to the families of the soldiers who died on the battlefield, the money we got is about-".

Zeyi continued to report on the outcome of the fight, more precisely almost all the results of the war were reported by Zeyi.

The point of Zeyi's report is that there are almost no casualties in this war, it can happen with the help of Lumina who defeated the 2 most difficult cities alone.

After that there was also a lot of money that they got, Elos now understood that there were people who once said "War is the most profitable business!".

Elos earned thousands of gold coins from this war which was a huge advantage.

Finally the meeting was over, a messenger was sent to the Animal Man Kingdom to report the victory to Rolir, Elage and the entire population there.

Then Elos also called Nors with Ilina to go to Portus Aureus Province to accept their new position.

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

It had finally been 7 days since Lumina's training was completed, the thousands of slaves who previously looked weak now at least had the decisiveness of a soldier.

Lumina chose the best people among these slaves to be the crew, more precisely Lumina chose those who were ready to work hard and not give up easily.

Seeing the 1500 new crew members marching in an orderly fashion on the dock, Elos felt that Lumina was indeed a great one.

Dozens of ships lined the docks, most of these ships taking Elos from the merchants who were previously warships to protect the trade of the merchants while trading the sea.

These merchants gladly gave their ships to Elos because Elos had killed the Chamber of Commerce of Leghi, so they feared that Elos would also kill them.

In addition to the 1500 new crew members, there are also undead troops as well as thousands of animal-human soldiers.

Now the army of Elos was not just animal humans, there were even humans, elves, dwarves and others who came from slaves.

Elos walks towards the stage in front of everyone, Riona and Kronev follow behind Elos. He stabbed his sword towards the ground and wasted no more time "Prepare the ship, we're leaving! Today, we will take down the power of Marquis Nate!".
