The wrong transmigrator assigned by the system

Lu Ming returned to his room and began chatting with his wives and children, waiting for the new year to arrive.

At this moment, Lu Ming, as the husband, took out the New Year's gift first.

He went to great lengths to prepare these gifts. The gifts he gave to Sham and the others, as well as Kanina and the others, were all carefully selected, each perfectly matching their personalities.

For example, Sham and Miral's custom-made fountain pens, the two Lilies' gorgeous military uniforms, and Yorshka's holy book written by the archangel Raphael, etc.

Sham and the others were delighted to receive the gifts, and while thanking him, they each kissed Lu Ming. This made Ramanlas, who had never been intimate with Lu Ming before, a little shy. But in the end, she also kissed Lu Ming, just like Sham and the others. As a result, Lu Ming suddenly hugged her and kissed her hard, making her face turn as red as an apple.

Seeing this, the children naturally thanked Lu Ming after receiving their gifts, and then quickly left, leaving Lu Ming and his wives alone.

After Amelia closed the door, Lily and Sham came up to Lu Ming with a gift box and said with a smile, "This is a gift that my sisters and I prepared for you. We hope you like it, dear."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ming immediately accepted the gift and carefully opened it under the watchful eyes of his wives.

After opening the box, Lu Ming saw an exquisite pocket watch lying inside.

This is a pocket watch with a case made of special gold, and both the back and the cover are inlaid with deep blue gemstones. Opening the cover reveals hour and minute hands made of rubies, as well as small deep blue gemstones representing the twelve hours and light blue gemstones representing the minutes. On the inside of the pocket watch's cover, there is also an engraved sentence...

"We love you, darling!" Before Lu Ming could even utter those words, Lily and the others said them aloud.

This deeply moved Lu Ming, and he couldn't help but hug and kiss them one by one...

"I love you all too, my dears!"

Upon hearing Lu Ming's confession, You'er Sika and Miral exchanged a glance before pressing Ramanlas onto the huge bed, while Chimera, Sham, and the two Lilies also pulled Lu Ming to the bedside.

The two Lilies hugged Lu Ming's arms from both sides and whispered in his ears, "Tonight, you're ours, okay? Don't you dare run away!"

"I won't run away!" Feeling the warm breath from the two Lilies' voices, Lu Ming laughed. Looking at Ramanlas, who was almost naked by You'er Sika and Miral and too ashamed to look at him, he said to all his wives, "Tonight, we will sleep together, and no one is allowed to escape!"

"We won't run away~" Smiling, Sham walked up to Lu Ming and kissed him on the lips. At the same time, together with the two Lilies, they stripped Lu Ming naked...

After a passionate kiss, Lu Ming was released by Sham. Immediately afterwards, Chimera pushed him from behind, pinning him against Ramanlas, and began kissing her neck and body. Meanwhile, Ramanlas's lips were already occupied by Miral...

-----------------------------------

We slept together under the same quilt, whispering sweet nothings, and before we knew it, the night had passed.

As the first rays of morning sunlight shone through the gaps in the curtains into the room, Lu Mingcai awoke from the embrace of his wives.

Because the Grand Duke and his elders were all in the Lord's manor, Lu Ming had to carefully break free from the encirclement of his wives, put on his new clothes, and go to greet the Grand Duke and his elders.

However, after putting on his coat, Lu Ming picked up the pocket watch from the bedside, played with it for a while, and then put it in the pocket of his inner clothes.

Suddenly, Ramanlas opened her eyes and asked groggily, "What time is it?"

"It's still early, you should sleep a little longer." Lu Ming gently kissed Ramanlas on the cheek and replied with a smile.

Ramanlas, having stayed up too late playing games, fell asleep again.

Seeing this, Lu Ming couldn't help but smile. Then, he carefully left the room without making a sound, closed the door, and went to the bathroom next door to wash up.

However, as he finished washing up and stepped out of the bathroom, a baron from the territory, promoted by Sham, suddenly ran over to him and said, "It's terrible, Viscount! Something has happened in the Duchy of Yaru!"

Upon hearing the man's words, Lu Ming immediately frowned and said angrily, "What kind of behavior is this, all this panic! Come downstairs with me and we'll talk!"

"Yes, Your Excellency!" Since Lu Ming was his superior, the baron had no choice but to obediently follow him to the living room on the first floor.

Upon entering the living room, Lu Ming suddenly noticed that Grand Duke Raelus, Earl of Lothric, and other nobles were also up. They were discussing something in the living room, and from afar, he could hear his father-in-law, Earl Vlad's, angry shouts.

Upon closer inspection, they learned that the Grand Duke of the Yaru Kingdom had been assassinated a month prior by members of an evil cult. Now, with the Grand Duke's son under their control, the evil cult was declaring war on the Erebus Kingdom in the name of the Yaru Kingdom!

The challenge was delivered to Erebus in the middle of the night!

Seeing this, Lu Ming knew without anyone telling him that the reason why the nobleman under his command had been so flustered in looking for him was because of this matter.

Perhaps unaware that Lu Ming had arrived, Count Vlad, Count Lothric, and some nobles from Agamemnon were still arguing about how to respond to the Duchy of Yaru's declaration of war.

"Your Highness, I think we should, on the one hand, mobilize troops and send heavy forces to guard the border between Erebus and Yaru! On the other hand, we should send assassination squads to assassinate the members of the evil cult who are controlling the Duke of Yaru's son and rescue him!"

"I disagree with Viscount Roiscotta's statement. I, Bloodbat Lagman Vlad, believe we should mobilize our forces and launch a preemptive strike against these bastards who don't care whether the one giving orders is the son of the Grand Duke of Yaru! Let them know that we, the Erebus, are not to be trifled with!"

"I'm sorry, Count Vlad, but I, Lothric, disagree with your idea. Leaving aside the fact that this is too extreme and detrimental to the reputation of my Erebus, it's still unknown whether this challenge was even issued with the consent of the nobles of Yaru. This situation is extremely unfavorable for us to launch a preemptive attack! Moreover, the Duchy of Yaru is mostly mountainous and forested, unsuitable for the charge of our Erebus knights, and infantry would be easily defeated by the Yaru soldiers skilled in open field battles! Therefore, I believe we should first concentrate our forces to defend against their attack, then contact Stix and Calxus on the other side of Yaru, and together with Tartarus, launch a pincer attack on Yaru, forcing the Duchy of Yaru to surrender!"

Upon hearing this, many nobles felt that Lothric was being too ruthless. This was clearly an attempt to completely destroy Yaru!

Once the attack from all sides begins, Yaru will be caught in a dilemma: those who surrender to the Grand Duke's heirs will be killed by the evil cult, while those who do not surrender will be completely devoured by the four duchies, ultimately facing the danger of annihilation! It can be said that once this plan is implemented, Yaru will immediately lose the initiative and become meat on the chopping block of these four duchies!

At this moment, Lu Ming suddenly said, "I agree with Count Lothric's idea, but Calxus will not join our operation to attack Yaru from both sides."

Lu Ming's sudden question startled everyone. But Grand Duke Rael quickly regained his composure and turned to Lu Ming, asking, "Why won't Karksar join?"

"Your Highness, the Grand Duke of Karkas is a stubborn and self-willed man. He always ignores the suggestions or requests of others. Moreover, the only place where Karkas and Yaru meet is Little Aias. Attacking Yaru will not bring Karkas much benefit, so Karkas' participation in the pincer attack on Yaru would be a losing proposition!"

After speaking, Lu Ming said to Grand Duke Rells, "Even without the help of Karksar, our alliance of Erebus and Tartarus, along with the magical land of Styx, is enough to crush Yaru's army! Furthermore, I think this battle is extremely important! This battle will allow our army to quickly get used to fighting against magical beasts like Kokodora and Yongjira, and it will also deter those with ill intentions, letting them know that the alliance between Erebus and Tartarus is very powerful! This will make them keep their distance from us and dare not cause us any trouble!"

After Lu Ming finished speaking, Lothric continued, "Indeed, even without Calxus, we can crush the Duchy of Yaru with the combined strength of the three duchies! Your Grace, I will return to Agamemnon now to contact Tartarus and Styx and have them prepare to wage war against Yaru. You should also return as soon as possible to prepare for the pre-war speech and mobilization of the army!"

After a moment's thought, Grand Duke Rael said, "I'll go back too. War is no joke; we must make careful preparations!"

Then he looked at Lu Ming and Count Vlad and ordered, "Lu Ming, tomorrow I will send someone to Phaethon's monster breeding base to have them send one hundred evolved Kadabra and fifty Kokodora to our Deucalion Cavalry Regiment in Erebus. You need to figure out a way to get the Kadabra and Kokodora to cooperate with the cavalry regiment in battle as soon as possible! Lagman, later you need to bring Hemphis out of the hospital and come with us to Agamemnon. Also, have the vampires send a small squad to act as scouts for the cavalry regiment and fill the position of sergeant major in the Deucalion Cavalry Regiment!"

"Yes, Your Excellency!" "Yes, Your Excellency!"

Upon receiving the order, Lu Ming and Count Vlad hurriedly agreed and stepped aside.

Meanwhile, Lu Ming had already begun to think about the combat methods of Yongjira and Cocodora in the cavalry regiment.

To be honest, Kadabra is alright, but if Aggron doesn't evolve into Aggron, it's practically useless to the cavalry. However, in pursuit battles, Aggron becomes very useful for blocking the enemy's retreat. Furthermore, they can use Rock Imprisonment to create rock walls to defend against attacks from the flanks. Also, if Phaethon's monster breeding base is well-developed, and Aggron learns ranged attacks like Electric Wave and Water Pulse, it will be a great help to the cavalry! (To be continued.)

Chapter 75 - Deduction and Anger

When Sham and the others got up, it was already past eight in the morning.

Because of Yaru's declaration of war, both the Grand Duke and his family, as well as Sham's family, had left, making the once bustling lord's manor suddenly become somewhat deserted.

Both Sham and Yorshka harbored resentment towards the Duchy of Yaru for this, hoping that the Deucalion Cavalry of Erebus could teach the Duchy of Yaru an unforgettable lesson.

Because Lu Ming needed to find a way to get Cocodora to start an army, he had to take some research data on Cocodora, Cocodora, and Boss Cocodora to a place in Odyssey City specifically for practicing battles. He also summoned a few nobles in the city who had received Cocodora when Fae and the monster breeding base distributed monsters before the new year. Together, they devised a solution through battles and simulations.

Lu Ming arrived at the combat training ground in the city at approximately 8:14 AM. Just five minutes later, the city's nobles, having received orders, hurriedly arrived, bringing their CocoDora pets with them.

After the nobles arrived, the knights who had gone to fetch them reported to Lu Ming: "My lord, all the nobles in Odyssey City who own Cocodora, except for Baron Erslica Catolo, have arrived."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ming frowned slightly and asked, "Why didn't Erslica come?"

"My lord, Baron Erslica suffers from severe obesity, so he said that even if he came, he wouldn't be able to..."

Before the knight could finish speaking, Lu Ming interrupted him without hesitation, angrily saying, "I don't care what his reasons are! Go and tell Esilika right now that Erebus was declared war on by Yaru last night! If he doesn't want to be sent to the battlefield, he'd better get here right now!"

"Yes, my lord!" Seeing that Lu Ming was angry, the knight of the lord's guard hurriedly replied, and then rushed over to inform Baron Erslica Catolo.

Lu Ming watched the knight run out of the enormous building, which was protected by a white magic barrier. He then instructed the arriving nobles to begin their work. He divided them into three groups: one group was responsible for leading Cocodora in a charge, another group was responsible for defending against the first group's charge and counterattacking, and the last group was responsible for collecting data, recording Cocodora's performance in the simulated battle, and identifying the correct and incorrect points.

Soon, the first simulated assault battle began.

Four young and strong nobles, each carrying their own Cocodora, rushed towards another group of nobles at great speed, gripping their wooden weapons, ready for their first confrontation.

However, as the charge began, the speed disadvantage of the Cocodora quickly became apparent. Just as the charge began, two of the four Cocodora fell behind, and the remaining two were also struggling to keep up.

Lu Ming and the others immediately realized that while the two Cocodoras could keep up with the nobles' charging speed, getting them to attack together was nearly impossible. Therefore, Lu Ming immediately stopped the simulated battle and instructed the third group to analyze whether the nobles had made any mistakes in commanding the Cocodoras during the charge.

After a series of summaries and reflections, the second simulated battle began once again.

This time, before charging, the nobles had their Cocodora use the Body Lightening skill, a steel-type skill, which instantly made Cocodora's body lighter and greatly increased its speed.

So when the charge began, the Cocodoras kept pace with the nobles, much better than last time. Moreover, the Cocodoras' attacks caused considerable trouble for the defenders. However, the side effect of their lighter bodies was that their strongest attack, Heavy Bombardment, was greatly weakened, making it impossible for them to break through the defenders' defenses. Skills like Iron Head and Ramming also couldn't be amplified by the Cocodoras' heavy bodies due to their lighter weight. Even if they could force the defenders back a step due to the impact, they still couldn't break through the defenses and make any useful contribution to the battle.

Thus, Lu Ming stopped the second simulation. The third group of nobles also began a new analysis and deduction.

At this moment, Baron Erslica Catolo, who had previously been reluctant to come, also arrived.

Just as the knight said, Baron Erslica was really fat, so fat that he needed several servants to help him walk.

Seeing how he was sweating profusely even while standing, Lu Ming was almost furious.

Erslica, a distant nephew of Count Nero Catolo, is thirty-seven years old and works as the head of the civil mediation and policing office in Lu Ming's Odyssey City. Because of his relationship with Nero, Erslica lives an extremely arrogant and extravagant life, only showing obedience to his superiors like Lu Ming and Sham. He is very unfriendly to lords who are merely barons like himself and to lower-ranking nobles who are just knights, often mocking them, making many people very dissatisfied with this scoundrel who only attained his baronial position through his kinship with the count.

Unfortunately, although this scoundrel lived an extremely extravagant life and treated his subordinates and colleagues terribly, he knew what he could and couldn't do. He was always diligent in his work and never dared to make a mistake, making it impossible for others to deal with him even if they wanted to. This was why Lu Ming and Sham still made him a baron in their territory.

Before Erslica, who was standing there sweating profusely, could speak, Lu Ming immediately frowned, pointed at the third group, and roared, "Now get to work!"

Immediately, with the help of his servants, Erslica plopped down in the third group and began asking the other nobles in that group about their duties. Since the third group sat on the clean floor, so did he, but because he was so fat, the servants had to prepare a backrest for him. His decision to only provide a backrest for himself, but not for the other nobles in the third group, instantly displeased these nobles who had little dealings with him. If it weren't for the importance of their business, they really wouldn't want to work with this fat pig.

However, Erslica, as Nero Katolo's distant nephew, the head of the Phaethon Beast Breeding Base, and the son of Epius Katolo, possessed a level of understanding of magical beasts that they could not help but admire.

After hearing about her job and the results of the previous two simulated battles, Erslica thought for a moment and then suggested to Lu Ming, "My lord, I think we can have Cocodora use electromagnetic levitation to float, and then have the horses pull Cocodora so that it can keep up with the troops when they charge, without consuming Cocodora's stamina."

“However, among the Cocodors bred by Fae, there don’t seem to be many that can levitate. Even if they were to teach other Cocodors, it’s not certain that they could be taught before Deucalion heads to the front lines.” After hearing Erslica’s suggestion, Lu Ming frowned and thought carefully for a moment before continuing.

"Please rest assured, my father, Viscount Epirus Catolo, will definitely be able to teach those Cocodoras electromagnetic levitation before the army sets off, and he will never let the Cocodoras suffer the slightest grievance!" Seeing that Lu Ming did not agree much with his idea, Baron Erslica immediately assured Lu Ming.

Lu Ming frowned at this, remaining noncommittal. However, he was somewhat pleased that Erslica had sent two military horses here for a test, letting Erslica know his thoughts and gaining his approval. After all, compared to most other lords, Lu Ming was a very fair and just lord, rewarding any noble who had rendered meritorious service.

Moreover, these rewards, which Lu Ming himself considered insignificant, were never less than the total income of the nobles in the territory for more than three years!

Erslica, secretly pleased with himself for the prospect of making another fortune, glanced at the others with an involuntary arrogance in his eyes. Little did he know that upon returning home, he would hear news that would force him to flee with his entire family!

With the horses and riders brought here, Lu Ming immediately sent the two best riders among the nobles to mount their horses and lead the only two of these Cocodors that could electromagnetically levitate to try out a charge.

As a result, the two nobles either misjudged the timing of the electromagnetic levitation and were pulled off their horses by the suddenly falling Cocodora, or accidentally threw Cocodora off while turning.

After several tests, the two nobles finally managed to figure out how to use the electromagnetically levitated Cocodora in conjunction with a cavalry charge.

However, at this moment, it was already past three in the afternoon.

During this time, no one, including Lu Ming, ate lunch. Lu Ming didn't even eat breakfast.

Hunger had made Erslica, who was as fat as a pig, so she had to be helped by her servants to Lu Ming's side. Risking a scolding, she said to Lu Ming, "My lord, it's already past three in the afternoon. No one has eaten anything, and everyone is starving. Even the Cocodoras are starving. I think today's simulation can be finished. Even so, the details about the war and the Cocodora's coordination with the cavalry charge can't be perfected in a day. Besides, rushing to finish will cause errors in the simulation!"

Hearing this, Lu Ming remained silent, only glancing at the Cocodors and seeing that they were indeed starving. He then addressed the knights and nobles, saying, “I know that today is the first day of the new year, and I have asked you to come here to complete these tasks at this time, which may cause you some complaints. However, this is something we have to do because the Duchy of Yaru has declared war on us, Erebus. Even the Grand Duke is in the same boat, rushing back to Agamemnon to mobilize troops and contact various parties. Therefore, if you have any complaints, you should understand.”

"We dare not!" Upon hearing Lu Ming's words, both the nobles and the knights in his guard were startled and hurriedly replied.

Seeing this, Lu Ming took the data recorded by the nobles in the third group and then smiled, "Since you're all hungry, let's call it a day. We'll start the simulation again at 6:40 tomorrow morning. Now everyone go home!"

"Yes, my lord!"

Seeing the nobles' respectful demeanor, Lu Ming smiled slightly, then led his guards back to the Grand Duke's mansion. After Lu Ming left, the nobles all went home.

But none of them expected that when Lu Ming returned to the lord's manor, he would see his beloved daughter, Melia, with bandages wrapped around her head. Upon learning what had happened to Melia, Lu Ming was furious and dispatched his lord's guard to apprehend the murderer who dared to harm his daughter!

At this moment, no one in the city knew exactly how furious Lu Ming was. But they all knew that no matter who the murderer was or who he was connected to, he was doomed!

All the nobles and knights under Lu Ming's command knew that the seemingly strict Sham wouldn't suffer any serious consequences when he got angry. But when Lu Ming, who always seemed to never get angry, lost his temper, it was a very bad thing!

This former hunter leader was a truly terrifying hunter! No one he targeted could escape his grasp. Even Falcels, currently under surveillance by hunters in Yaru, is just waiting for an opportunity to feed Lu Ming to the ghost Leila. So...
