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

CHAPTER 77: ELOS' DECISION

Elos face was now already very gloomy, the Ray Kingdom had completely underestimated him. If Elos only needed to pay the money then Elos might agree in exchange for peace, but they also tried to seize the territory that Elos had already gained. Therefore, Elos could not agree.

After all Elos and his followers had already worked hard to obtain the territory of Marquis Nate, yet someone suddenly came to take this territory back without any pay.

So Elos said without a doubt "Marquis Riste, tell your king or god that I reject this invitation of peace. As long as you stay like this, then I Elos will not be afraid! Even if the entire Ray Kingdom brings all your troops, I'm ready to face you all at any time".

The friendly smile on Marquis Riste's face also disappeared, he said to Elos full of warnings "Are you sure, Mr Elos? It seems you do not know yet that the power of the Ray Kingdom is not something you can imagine. Before leaving here, my king had already told us that we would send an elite force to the 3rd from the Ray Kingdom, if Mr. Elos still refused. Different from Marquis Nate, this 3rd elite force was under the power of the king directly, there were 2 rank 5 people there as the leader of the army. Is lord Elos still very confident to accept the challenge of our war or peace?".

Marquis Riste thought that Elos must have been afraid to hear 2 rank 5 people as a leader, besides Marquis Riste even though he did not have rank 5 followers at all. Only an upward Duke could have such a strong warrior, so Marquis Riste was sure that Elos definitely did not refuse.

But Elos' subsequent reply made him freeze "My answer has not changed, if you send troops into my territory then I will make the Ray Kingdom regret".

Marquis Riste opened his mouth wide full of disbelief, he did not think that Elos accepted the war against the terrifying Kingdom of Ray without the slightest hesitation.

Marquis Riste tried to persuade Elos again "Master Elos, think again carefully! I'm doing this for you, the 3rd elite of the Ray Kingdom is the weakest elite of the 3 elite troops belonging to the king. Even if you destroy the 3rd elite army, there is still the 1st elite force led by 2 rank 3 people. 8 The other Labyrinth Master will not help you with this matter, rather the strongest Labyrinth Master is falling ill which makes a big problem for the other Labyrinth Lords, so they do not have the least time to pay attention or help you. It's your last chance, give up and meet the requirements or-".

Before he could finish his words, a hammer appeared and struck towards the table in front of Elos and Marquis Riste.

"Shelf!".

The table was immediately destroyed, Marquis Riste who was shocked looked at the owner of the hammer to find that the person who hit the table to the ground was a woman who looked like an Elos bodyguard.

The woman was none other than Kronev, she looked at Marquis Riste coldly "Do you not understand what my master said earlier, we reject those terms! Go back and tell my lord, this peace has failed!".

Elos nodded "My decision has not changed Marquis Riste yet, besides my followers became angry because you kept stubbornly trying to persuade me to surrender. I advise you to leave here, otherwise my followers might kill you without hesitation".

Marquis Riste trembled in fear at Kronev's hammer smashing the table, however he could sense that Kronev had a rank 5 power through the blow, as long as he remained here then he would die.

Therefore, Marquis Riste stood up from his seat before looking at Elos coldly "Then until you meet again on the battlefield, don't regret this decision, lord Elos".

Then Marquis Nate left as quickly as possible, he did not dare to stay in this room any longer.

"Very cowardly, he was already so scared just because I hit the table" Kronev said with a mocking smile.

"Riona, tell all our officials to gather again, the 2-month holiday is over! We will go back to war again!", said Elos firmly.

"Okay sir", replied Riona who went from the room to give this news to all the Elos higher-ups.

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

Marquis Riste only reported about the decision of Elos to the king a week later, besides the distance from the City of Novus to the Royal Capital of Ray was so far that it took 7 days to return to the capital.

Hearing about Elos's reply, the king and Prime Minister Solos were not at all surprised, and they would be even more surprised if Elos accepted this requirement.

After letting Marquis Riste back, Prime Minister Solos bowed respectfully to the king "Everything is in accordance with his noble plan, now whether we should gather an elite force to the 3rd or perhaps-".

The king waved his hand "We should indeed use the 3rd elite soldier, but we should gather the residents first. If we attack Elos for no reason, some people will regard us as criminals, therefore we must turn Elos first as a criminal in the eyes of the population before attacking him in order for the inhabitants to give us their support in this war".

Listening to the king's idea, Prime Minister Solos' eyes shone "Her majesty is really smart, the prime minister will let the residents gather soon".

The king nodded "Don't be too sudden, the residents don't need to gather at all today but rather let them come tomorrow. I will also ask Goddess Sares to seek advice, however most members of the elite forces 1 and 2 are on the border against demons. This makes us unable to act recklessly without the goddess's permission".

Prime Minister Solos nodded, he began to move to let the townspeople gather tomorrow.

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

The next morning, the front of the king's palace was already filled with many residents, although they were confused and did not know the reason they were gathered here but this was a task sent by the king so they did not dare to refuse.

Almost all the residents of the Royal Capital of Ray gathered, in addition, the 3rd elite troops of the king acted as guards around so that these residents became silent and stopped if there were assassins here who tried to kill the king.

After the time passed for approximately an hour, the figure of the king emerged from behind the palace and stood on a high place connected to the palace.

Because the king was on a high place, all these people could see the king.

Along with the rise of the king, the residents along with the 3rd elite troops belonging to the king knelt on the ground without hesitation "We pay respect to the noble!".
