I BECAME A SKULL IN ANOTHER WORLD WITH THE LABYRINTH MASTER'S WORK.
CHAPTER 82: THE NOVUS CITY ATTACK
"Captain Roum, is there a problem?" said the vice-captain worriedly, however Roum was always very firm and never showed weakness.
Roum, who was still worried about Jirsa's state of consciousness, recalled that as a leader he must always look strong, especially during war. Because if he looks weak and afraid then his soldiers will feel the same way, however a leader is the heart of an army.
"Nothing, let the whole army march! We will take down Novus City before night!", Roum said confidently.
They have not received any information about Elos who has 2 rank 5 followers because when fighting Marquis Nate, Kronev and Lumina still have rank 6.
"Ready, captain!", cried the vice-captain who began to gather the soldiers from the ship.
...----------------...
Elos is currently standing upright on the walls of Novus City, he wears a light iron armor and is covered by a robe he always wears.
Riona and Kronev stand behind Elos to protect him, while the rest of the soldiers march over the city walls to prepare for an enemy attack.
"Master, the latest report from the west coast of Novus Island!" said Zeyi kneeling in front of Elos.
"Say!", answered Elos.
"Okay, my lord, according to the spies guarding there, 100 warships landed on the west coast. From the calculations briefly, the spy was convinced that the enemy numbered about 5000 people. It seems that Admiral Lumina managed to separate the enemy as you planned, with this then we only need to fight 1 rank 5 captain and 5000 more troops, far less than their 15,000 troops at the beginning", zeyi said he reported the matter.
Elos nodded, he said again "Tell the soldiers to prepare, even though we have 10,000 troops which is 2 times the number of enemies, he said, but the enemy is an elite force rather than a new army and our undead. So don't be arrogant, otherwise you'll be sorry!".
"Every master!", replied everyone firmly.
After waiting for approximately an hour, 5000 enemy troops began to be seen approaching.
Different from the troops of Elos who mostly still wear leather armor, or even the undead troops who do not wear armor. 5000 enemy troops all wear the best armor, all wearing the best armor, their light iron armor shone under the sunlight.
In addition Elos can feel the terrifying aura of these 5000 troops, at least compared to the Elos and Marquis Nate troops he had fought before then these 5000 troops were much stronger and trained.
5000 Troops standing far enough away from the front gate of Novus City to avoid being hit by Elos's arrow, Roum stepped forward while pulling his sword "Tiran Elos, I Roum who is the captain of the 3rd elite forces of the Ray Kingdom gives you a last chance. As long as you give up and let me slash your head to be brought to your majesty then I can let some of your followers stay alive as long as they are not evil or undead. But if you refuse, everyone will die! Even the entire population of Novus City would be killed! Your answer, Tyrant Elos!".
Everyone's eyes were now staring at Elos, they were waiting for Elos' answer.
"I refuse!", said Elos without any hesitation "Because you dare to warn me then I also give you a warning, surrender and return to your king if you are still interested in living. As long as you attack this wall of Novus City then I make sure you can't live any longer than today".
"It seems pointless anymore to talk more" Roum said grimly "The whole assault force! As long as you can take the head of Tyrant Elos then his majesty has already said to give them 1000 gold coins and the title of Baron noble, you can leave the soldiers and become nobles!".
Hearing this, the previously hesitant Roum warriors already had their eyes red with gusto as they knew how important noble titles were.
As the 3rd elite force then they do have a position that can not be underestimated in the Kingdom of Ray, but compared to the nobles then they are nothing.
The soldiers instantly pulled out their weapons and ran towards the walls of Novus City, some of them carrying large stairs to climb up the city walls.
Looking at the enemy troops that looked so crazy, some of the new soldiers belonging to Elos took a step back due to a little fear.
Elos also noticed all of that so he shouted "Don't be afraid, as long as you fight bravely then I will bring victory to you, Ruler of Life!".
The hand of Elos was covered by a white light and spread throughout the soldiers on the city walls, every soldier belonging to Elis was now protected by the white light.
Although the white light does not mean to make the soldiers not dead, but at least the protection of Ruler of Life is still not inferior to iron armor though.
Even the usefulness was not just that, all the worry of the soldiers was lost under this white light, their eyes were again filled with vigor.
"Archers, shoot!", shouted Tira who was the leader of the archery squad.
Thousands of arrows flew over the sky and shot at the enemy troops, several hundred enemy troop members also served as archers so that the rain of arrows continued to occur throughout the battlefield.
Some of the stairs were brought closer to the walls of Novus City, some members of the enemy troops began to climb through the stairs.
"Arms of shields, raise your shields and let no one go up!", cried Bare who now carried a shield and a great sword.
Some of the shield troops began to stop the enemy troops trying to climb up and drop them again to the ground.
3 Minutes later, the number of enemy troops that rose became more and more. There were even some of Elis's shield soldiers who died or were wounded by the enemy's slash.
"Wefo, you can start" said Elos.
"Okay sir!", replied Wefo sternly then gazed at all the soldiers who were busy heating up something liquid.
"You can throw that thing now!", cried Wefo.
The soldiers nodded, they lifted the heated black water container and threw it towards the enemy soldiers who were trying to climb up.
"Aaaaa, hot! Hot!", shouted the enemy troops who were hit by hot water while climbing the stairs.
Most of his body was burned so that he fell to the ground again, the people behind him also fell due to the collision.
The longer the war passed, the number of casualties on the 2 parties became even greater.
After an hour, Roum's army lost about 1,500 men, while Elos lost less than 100. This could be because Elos took advantage of the city wall's advantages as well as the protection of Ruler of Life.
Knowing all these things, Roum's face became gloomy "If the war continues like this then we will definitely lose, I will have to change the plan!".
