The wrong transmigrator assigned by the system

Because these knights were all heavy cavalry, and there were ten thousand of them, when they charged, the earth trembled, and countless birds and animals were frightened away, scattering in different directions.

Incredibly, when Pan's soldiers discovered that Deucalion had begun his charge, they only sent out about four thousand infantrymen, who used giant shields to build an iron wall in an attempt to forcefully stop Deucalion's charge.

Seeing this, Torres, who was charging alongside the knights, couldn't help but feel a little confused and subconsciously began to wonder if Pan had prepared some kind of ambush for her.

But while they wanted to, they couldn't stop charging, because forcibly stopping cavalry during a charge by their commander was a huge blow to morale. So, with no other choice, Toures gritted his teeth and led his knights on the charge.

Fortunately, Deucalion's weapons were all sharp blades forged by hunters, allowing him to break through ambushes even when ambushed.

However, just as Deucalion's steel tide was about to crash into the steel walls formed by Pan's soldiers, Pan's four thousand soldiers suddenly spread out to both sides, trapping Deucalion's ten thousand heavy cavalry into a pocket made of heavily armored soldiers!

Between the giant shields held by the soldiers of Pan on both sides, Torres saw flintlock muskets protruding from the gaps in the shields and aiming at them.

Seeing this, Toures was shocked and shouted, "Cut their shields with your weapons!!"

Upon hearing this, the knights immediately brandished their blades and slashed at the giant shields in the hands of the Pan soldiers!

The sharp blade struck the massive shield, sending sparks flying and leaving deep nicks in the shield.

If the first knight fails to cut through the shield, the second knight's sword will strike the notch the first knight made in the shield, cleaving the great shield in two. And the third knight's sword will fall on the soldiers behind the great shield who are terrified by the shield being cut open.

The incredibly sharp longsword sliced ​​through the air, and propelled by the warhorses, it sent copious amounts of blood and severed limbs flying into the sky. With each Deucalion knight that ran past, countless Pan soldiers were cleaved in two by the sword.

But as the Deucalion knights were slaughtering, Pan's soldiers also pulled the trigger.

With a deafening roar as the flintlock musket fired, Deucalion's knight was knocked from his horse and fell heavily to the ground, where he was stabbed to death by Pan's soldiers with spears.

After Tures led his knights out of the encirclement of the Pan infantry legion, he was shocked to find that 1,500 of his 10,000 heavy cavalrymen had been killed! There were also 500 or 600 wounded knights!

Although only three or four hundred of the original four thousand soldiers remained, for Deucalion, even exchanging one knight for four Pan soldiers was a loss. Training cavalry was far more complex than training infantry; it required countless amounts of money and time from start to finish, while the cost of infantry was less than a tenth of that of cavalry.

Therefore, after seeing such battle losses, Tures could only slaughter the surviving soldiers of the Pan infantry corps, and then send his troops back to their own camp with the wounded, the bodies of their comrades, and their weapons.

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

The commander of Pan, Edsor Mikradnev, sat in his tent, listening to his adjutant report on the battle losses of Pan's first battle against Deucalion.

Upon hearing that his four thousand soldiers had only resulted in the deaths of fifteen hundred of Deucalion's knights and the serious injuries of six hundred, he couldn't help but sigh heavily and say, "[Pan] was ultimately dragged down by the Church of the Evil Spirits. If it were before, how could these four thousand soldiers have been exchanged for such a small number of heavy cavalry!"

“General, I think this is acceptable. We have 30,000 soldiers, while Deucalion only has 15,000. Such losses are enough to deter Deucalion from continuing to engage us in direct combat. As long as reinforcements arrive, we can annihilate them!” Edsor’s adjutant disagreed with Edsor’s idea and spoke up.

“Foolish!” Edsor scolded him, then pointed to several points on the map beside him, saying, “Most of our Yaru forces are tied down by the armies of Tartarus and Styx. The few units that can support us combined probably don’t number more than five thousand. Meanwhile, Erebus has already sent two units, each with about two thousand five hundred men, to support Deucalion. Most importantly, these two units are cavalry regiments composed of heavy cavalry, mages, and priests!”

"General, according to you, we must defeat Deucalion before the rest of Erebus's army arrives?" the adjutant asked somewhat uneasily after hearing Edsor's words.

“Yes! We must eliminate Deucalion before enemy reinforcements arrive by tomorrow evening!” With that, Edsor pulled a letter from a pocket. Looking at the childish handwriting, he sighed slightly and said to his adjutant, “The Church of the Evil Spirits wants us to perish together with Deucalion so they can seize control of this vast land of the Duchy of Yaru…”

"..."

"Go and gather the captains; we're going to launch a night raid on Deucalion!"

"Yes, General!" After responding, the adjutant left the tent.

Edsall, however, continued to stare at the letter, as if he were looking at the poor little girl...

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

Night. The enormous moon cast its light, illuminating the pitch-black forest. But in the midst of the silence, a large number of infantrymen, under the cover of darkness, evaded Deucalion's scouts and marched toward Deucalion's camp.

They wore no armor, and their only weapons were a longsword and a flintlock musket capable of repeated fire.

But there was not a trace of fear in their eyes. Yaru needed to be burned by flames to be reborn from the ashes. And they could be said to be the ones who stopped the fire, or they could be said to be the ones who started it.

Pan, corrupted by the evil cult, is no longer as powerful as he once was, but even in death, they will drag Deucalion into the mire of death and sink with him.

Soon, they arrived at a place three or four hundred meters away from Deucalion's camp.

Hidden behind the bushes in the woods, the most elite soldiers of Yaru, led by their commander, the over-sixty-year-old General Edsor, awaited the changing of the guard by Deucalion's knights so they could swarm in and storm the camp.

Holding their breath, Edsor and his men finished loading the bullets and watched the knights patrolling back and forth in the camp. Finally, it was time for the patrolling knights to change shifts.

When Edsor saw a group of knights leading several metal magical beasts emerge from the military tent and speak with the previous group of knights, causing both groups to lower their guard, he immediately ordered his adjutant, "Charge!!"

Instantly, Edsor was the first to rush out, followed closely by his adjutant and over ten thousand of Pan's soldiers, as they charged toward Deucalion's camp!

By the time Deucalion's knights discovered them, it was too late.

Caught off guard, the patrolling knights could only shout "Enemy attack!!" while directing the Cocodoras to use rock sealing to create walls and buy them as much time as possible.

Unfortunately, Pan's attack was too sudden, and the Cocodoras couldn't coordinate well enough to create a giant stone wall with rocks. They could only slightly hinder Pan's advance with the boulders, but they couldn't stop the soldiers.

Unfortunately, some of the knights had no choice but to continue commanding the Cocodors to keep using the rock seal.

But Edsor had no intention of giving them that chance. He seized the opportunity and fired a shot!

With a loud bang, the flintlock bullet, propelled by gunpowder, pierced the night sky and killed a Deucalion knight.

Gunshots and the shouts of the knights roused all the sleeping knights, who grabbed their weapons and rushed out of their tents to join the battle.

Meanwhile, Deucalion's commander, Torres Hedist, also joined the battle, wielding 'Irithyll's Chill Wind'.

After Pan's soldiers, led by Edsor, stormed into the camp, Deucalion clashed with Pan, and the knights and soldiers fought each other.

Although Deucalion was a cavalry regiment, they relied on the sharpness of their weapons to fight a fierce battle with Pan's infantry legion, which was known as the strongest in the Kingdom of Miracaissa.

It can be said that once the two armies clashed, people were being killed by the other side every minute and every second.

With each sword strike, Torres cut down Pan's soldiers, sword and all, and charged toward Pan's commander, Edsor, like a wild beast.

Meanwhile, Edsor was also shooting down Deucalion's soldiers one by one as he charged toward Toures.

Blood stained the earth red, and those soldiers were the source and perpetrators of that red dye.

Stepping onto the land, which had turned red with blood, Torres and Edsor rushed together.

Knowing the sharpness of Torres's longsword, Edsor could only carefully dodge Torres's frenzied attacks while fighting her, waiting for an opportunity to kill Torres Hedist with the last bullet in his flintlock pistol.

But perhaps Lady Luck was no longer on his side. While dodging Toures's attack, Edsor accidentally tripped over a frightened Cocoa Doll that was lying on the ground and fell to the ground.

Upon seeing this, Toures raised his sword without hesitation and stabbed Edsor.

Just then, Edsor's lieutenant suddenly rushed out from the side and used his own body to block Toures' sword for Edsor.

Edsor seized the opportunity, pulled the trigger, and severely wounded Toures with a bullet.

The battle situation changed in an instant. One moment Edsor was a fish on the chopping block of Toures’ sword, and the next moment Toures was trampled under his feet and about to be beheaded by him!

However, precisely because the battlefield is ever-changing, neither Deucalion nor Pan knew who among them would ultimately win or lose.

The only thing that can be confirmed is that the situation has changed again.

Just as Torres, who was being trampled under Edsor's feet, thought he was doomed, two dragon roars suddenly resounded through the sky.

Two dragons, resembling giant bats, descended from the sky with two knights, throwing them onto the battlefield. Then, they unleashed terrifying flames upon Pan's soldiers.

The two knights crashed heavily to the ground, their greatswords striking several Pan soldiers the moment they hit the ground, turning them into mincemeat.

Slowly rising to their feet, the two knights swung their greatswords with a sudden motion, while their other hands gripped strangely shaped daggers. Their cold eyes fixed on Pan's soldiers and Edsor, they began their slaughter... (To be continued.)

Chapter 82 - Battle Situation

As soon as they saw the two knights being thrown down by the dragon, Pan's soldiers immediately began firing their flintlock muskets at them.

Incredibly, the two knights managed to deflect all their shots using only their greatswords and daggers!

Moreover, both knights used some special ability, enveloping their daggers in flames, which not only shattered bullets but also continuously increased their speed. In the end, the two knights reached a speed that was impossible for the naked eye to follow!

Upon seeing this, Edsor knew that things had taken a turn for the worse, and immediately swung his longsword at the neck of Torres, whom he was pinning down.

Since things have changed, he can only try to keep things within a range that is unfavorable to both sides, otherwise Pan will undoubtedly lose.

Therefore, Deucalion's commander must die!

As the longsword swung down, the already severely wounded Tures closed her eyes. Though she was filled with resentment, things had already come to this, and she was powerless to change anything.

But at that moment, a gust of wind suddenly swept in, and then Torres felt something graz his neck, causing a slight pain, but his head was not cut off.

Opening her eyes, Toures saw Edsor being sent flying. And standing beside her was one of the two knights.

The knight glanced at her injuries and then chuckled, teasing, "Don't bleed to death before that guy from Lothric arrives, Miss Tures."

"Too...too slow..."

"Sorry, I think Hawkwood and I arrived quickly enough. You know, our troops won't arrive until after dawn!" the knight replied with a smile, then looked at Edsor, who was getting up from the ground not far away and casually picking up the longsword of the fallen knight Deucalion.

“Viscount Lu Ming, I’ve heard of you. The Grand Duke also told me after returning from the capital that you are quite talented!” Edsor brandished his longsword and then spoke to the knight.

"Really? I'm honored."

"Yes! Your talent is really quite good. At least you were able to anticipate our night raid, which is impressive!"

"It's nothing. Right now, your Yaru Duchy is surrounded by the three major duchies of Erebus, Tartarus, and Styx. I imagine you have no chance of turning the tide except for a night raid and a death charge. So Hawkwood and I have decided to have the Sonic Dragon lead us over first to catch you off guard!"

“Ha! Just as I expected!” Edsor gave a wry smile, then pointed his sword at Lu Ming, who had been brought by the Sonic Dragon, and said, “Pan has 30,000 men, while Deucalion only has 15,000. If you include casualties, Pan still has 16,000 men who haven’t participated in the battle. Even if the legion you and Lothric organized arrives here, plus Deucalion’s knights, you still won’t be able to surpass Pan’s remaining numbers! Do you think you have a chance to defeat the Duchy of Yaru!?”

“Villains die from talking too much, so I’m not going to say anything more.” Ignoring Edsor’s question, Lu Ming curled his lips into a smile and then rushed toward Edsor at lightning speed.

Upon seeing this, Edsor immediately swung his longsword and slashed straight ahead.

He knew that Lu Ming was very fast, and that he, being old, could not fight him with a sword. Therefore, he had to exchange blows and cut Lu Ming's neck with his longsword the instant Lu Ming charged at him.

However, this was difficult to do. Because Lu Ming had thought of this the moment he charged, so at the same time, the dagger in his hand that matched the Franz greatsword swung towards the longsword under Edels' command.

With a clang, Edsor's longsword was parried by a dagger. The next moment, the sound of a sharp blade piercing flesh rang out.

Looking down at the wound inflicted by the Franz Greatsword, Edsor grabbed Lu Ming's shoulder and said with difficulty, "You will... burn down Yaru, which has been corrupted by the Church of the Evil... but we [Pan]... are not an easy army to deal with... only when the wind blows... can the forest fire burn fiercely..."

After saying this, Edsor, the veteran general of the Duchy of Yaru, died by Lu Ming's sword...

Silently pulling the sword from Edsor's body, Lu Ming sighed softly. Looking at the Pan forces retreating due to their commander's death, and at Deucalion, who had suffered heavy casualties in the Pan's night attack, he understood for the first time why the Church of Light hated the Church of Evil Spirits so much.

Because of the Church of Evil Spirits, the three duchies of Miracaissa were forced to engage in a civil war with Yaru, another duchy within the Kingdom of Miracaissa, while simultaneously being threatened by the Aifa Empire.

The Church of Evil Spirits is a church that preaches pain and torment. Under their corruption and brainwashing, the Principality of Yaru was rapidly corrupted to the point of being extremely weak. Only by burning it in fierce flames can the Principality of Yaru be reborn from the ashes.

But who will remember those who willingly became fuel for the fire? Who will remember those who could have been heroes in the fight against Aifa, but have now become victims of the evil cult's revenge against Erebus?

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

"In this attack, we lost over two thousand men and six Kokodora. Pan, on the other hand, only lost over three thousand seven hundred men. Although Pan's commander was killed by Viscount Lu Ming, Pan still has another general and cannot retreat because of this. Moreover, Pan's second general is the second daughter of Count Edsor Mikradnev. She cannot stand idly by after her father's death. So we still have many tough battles to fight!" In the military tent, Torres's adjutant, Haimir, told Torres, who was wrapped in bandages, and Lu Ming and Hawkwood, who were also in the tent, about the losses and the current situation.

Upon hearing that he had inexplicably lost over two thousand people, along with six Cocodoras, Tures slammed his hand heavily on the low table in front of him and roared furiously, "Damn it!!"

"Hey! Hey! Hey! If you do that, the wound will reopen!" Seeing Toures slam his fist on the table in a rage, Lu Ming immediately warned him. At the same time, he gestured to Hawkwood to fetch the priest from Deucalion's troops.

After Hawkwood left the military tent, Tures's bandages were quickly stained red with blood. Upon seeing this, Haimir immediately went over and helped her to a small bed inside the tent, waiting for the priest to come and treat her.

To avoid suspicion, Lu Ming had no choice but to leave Torres's tent and go to check on the wounded of Deucalion and comfort the frightened Cocodors.
