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

CHAPTER 83: THE HIDDEN FIGURE

Roum thought hard about how to calm this war, his eyes constantly staring at the entire battlefield before falling on the body of Elos who was standing on the city wall.

Based on his abilities, he could sense that Elos had a rank 7 strength that was 2 levels weaker than him. At least, as long as he could fight against Elos then there was a great chance of winning.

Suddenly Roum's eyes shone, an idea popping into his head.

"Deputy, tell the whole army to stand down, we'll have an hour's lunch break before fighting again" Roum said, ready for his new idea, as long as it fails, if it works, it's their victory.

Hearing Roum's decision, the vice-captain felt shocked. However the soldiers are attacking now, if they retreat then the enemy must have seized the opportunity to attack their fleeing troops, the number of casualties must have been no less than 500 people. Not to mention that after all the troops retreated, they had to repeat all these attacks from the beginning because the enemy forces must have destroyed the stairs that had been placed on their walls.

"Captain Roum, if the troops retreat then the losses we have must be greater. Moreover, we have to attack from the beginning again, it is better to defend and wait until our chance, in that way then there is a possibility-" said the vice-captain trying to persuade Roum.

However Roum raised his hand to directly stop the vice-captain "We have to wait how much longer until the opportunity arrives? As a vice-captain then you definitely know that we will only lose if we continue to attack like this, therefore we must retreat first and reset the strategy. Although I can't be sure of winning using the strategy I have, but at least I'm sure as much as 70%".

The vice-captain was a little surprised because Roum's 70% confidence was already so great, after all no one could be 100% sure of winning a role even though the enemy was weaker than them.

"Captain Roum, are you going to call lord Talba-" said the vice-captain doubtfully, but he soon stopped talking more because he realized that as vice-captain, his job was to advise only the captain. As for strategy and leading the soldiers, then the captain holds the full power.

So the vice-captain simply bowed "Well captain, I'll gather the soldiers back".

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

Elos who was above the city wall heard a very loud gong sound, this made Elos look towards the origin of the sound.

It turned out that the sound of the gong came from the enemy troops, when the enemy troops heard the sound then they became shocked for a while before starting to move backwards.

Be it Elos and his army were also shocked at the retreating enemy forces, Elos who regained his senses first shouted without hesitation "Kill all these people, don't let them come back!".

The soldiers of Elos who were shocked and did not understand the actions of the enemy troops regained their senses, they raised their arrows and swords to kill the enemy soldiers who were trying to escape.

Although their comrades were killed, the enemy troops did not care at all and continued to move back to return to their main camp where Captain Roum was located.

During the time the enemy forces retreated as well, the Elos army could kill another 500 enemy troops.

"Sir, this is a great victory! We managed to kill 2000 enemy troops while we only lost 100 troops, this is a great victory! Now that the enemy army has only 3000 soldiers, victory is already before our eyes!", said Zeyi who reported the results of the vigorous battle on Elos, even before this war Zeyi had prepared himself for the reports of the number of Elos troops who died. But he never thought, it turned out that the troops on their side had only reduced a little.

Different from Zeyi who was feeling happy, Elos' face was now very gloomy.

Elos who was thinking a little nodded "This is too strange, the enemy is the leader of the elite forces to the 3rd Ray Kingdom, therefore he must know that letting his troops retreat is a great loss, but he still does that. This suggests that he most likely has other plans".

"Plan?", asked Kronev a little confused, however he is not the Lumina who thinks more often ahead, Kronev is a person who prefers to use direct attacks rather than strategies.

"I also don't know what plans they have, but whatever it is we have to be ready! As long as we can hold back their plans this time then it must be a victory for us! Zeyi, tell the troops to strengthen the guard, Kronev must also prepare to fight the enemy leader. This time the enemy captain must have descended into the battlefield himself" Elos said firmly.

"Well, sir!", replied Zeyi and Kronev who began to prepare.

Elos raised his head to the sky where there were already many dark clouds covering the sun, it seemed that it would soon rain.

"I have a bad premonition at the moment" said Elos who was staring at the gloomy sky.

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

When Roum's soldiers were busy eating a bewildered lunch due to Roum suddenly telling them to retreat, Roum and the captain went to a tent made by the soldiers when they came here.

This tent was originally a place to store food and drink and care for the injured, but Roum actually had another reason to make this tent.

This tent was quite large and divided into several rooms, so Roum and his representative went to the last room.

Roum had forbidden all his soldiers to come here, there was a big secret of his here that only he and his deputy knew.

Roum said a little respectfully to the room covered in tent cloth, "Master Talba, are you busy?".

"Is that Roum?", an old voice rang out and the cloth covering the room began to open.

The figure of an old man who had long white hair and was about 70 years old was seen in the room, he had a weak and thin body that made people think that he could die at any time.

But Roum did not dare to underestimate this old man because his strength was stronger than him.

"Mr Talba, I need your help now" Roum said carefully.

"You finally need my help?", Talba said slightly nodding "I owe you a great debt for protecting and hiding myself from death, therefore I don't mind helping you once as long as it's not excessive. If I've helped you this once then I'll go, what help do you need?".

"Mr Talba, we are currently in trouble against the enemy forces, therefore I need your help for-" Roum immediately told Talba what help he needed.
