The wrong transmigrator assigned by the system

But just then, Toures called out to him.

"Wait a moment!"

Lu Ming stopped and turned around to look at the pale-faced Tures.

Then, he heard Torres instruct him: "Viscount Lu Ming, I may not be able to lead the charge for a few days. So I hope you can take my place and assume the responsibility of leading the charge!"

Hearing this, Lu Ming smiled slightly and then walked outside. As he walked, he said, "Don't worry, once that guy from Lothric arrives, you'll be able to lead your troops into battle again, full of energy. That guy's miracles are capable of bringing the dead back to life!"

"Is this a refusal...?" Tures murmured, watching Lu Ming's retreating figure. She then hoped that Lothric would arrive with his army soon so that she could lead the knights of Deucalion to avenge the knights who died because of Pan's night raid!

Meanwhile, in Pan's camp, Edsor's daughter, Yugluna Mikradnev, was praying for her father who had just died in battle.

Due to the long-term corruption of the Evil Spirit Church, the faith of the Church of Light has dwindled to almost nothing in the Duchy of Yaru. However, Yugluna is a staunch follower of the Church of Light, which is why her father couldn't relinquish his post and entrusted the army of [Pan] to her. The Evil Spirit Church would never allow the army of the Duchy of Yaru to fall into the hands of followers of the Church of Light!

Edsor's reason for launching a night raid on Deucalion's camp and ultimately dying in battle was that he hoped she could gain control of Pan and completely annihilate the Church of the Evil Spirits' influence in Yaru.

Although many in Pan's army were brainwashed followers of the Evil Spirit Church, they couldn't find anyone from the church who could lead them. Reluctantly, they had to hand over command of Pan to Yugluna, a follower of the Church of Light, to prevent Deucalion from completely eradicating the Evil Spirit Church from Yaru!

"Rest in peace, my father. May the light shine upon you forever..."

After reciting the final prayer, Yugluna summoned all the officers of Pan to her tent to discuss how to proceed in the upcoming battle against Deucalion.

“You are all veterans of Pan, and you should have more experience in combat than I do, so I would like to ask for your thoughts.” Sitting on a low stool, Yogluna, wearing a Farron Undead Legion uniform that had been given to her father by an unknown undead and then given to her by Edsor, spoke to the officers of Pan, both high and low.

"Although the old man has reduced Deucalion's forces by about a third, the Yugusotus Cavalry Regiment hastily assembled by Lu Ming and Lothric, along with the Undead Legion of Erebus, will arrive tomorrow, turning the tide of the battle from our advantage to a stalemate. This will make it much more difficult for us to defeat Deucalion and his two smaller legions. Moreover, while we are confronting the forces of the Duchy of Erebus, Tartarus and Styx are also fighting against the armies of two countships that have not yet been conquered. We have reason to believe that they will soon launch an attack on the Grand Duke's capital. Therefore, we must return to the capital as quickly as possible after defeating Deucalion to intercept the armies of Tartarus and Styx."

"That's not the worst part. What's worse is that the reinforcements we were expecting to arrive tomorrow were suddenly intercepted by a mercenary group from Amp. They're at a disadvantage now and can't support us at all."

"In this situation, we are attacked from both sides, and there is basically no good way out except to fight a deadly battle with Deucalion and perish together."

"If Deucalion ignores the invasion of Aphrodite in the summer, even if we can defeat Deucalion, Pan will only have one or two thousand men left."

"This is just a conservative estimate. If the Yugsotus Cavalry Regiment were to include more mages, we might have less than a hundred soldiers left!"

Several staff officers explained the current situation, which made almost all the officers very worried.

At this moment, a high-ranking officer dressed all in black, clearly a follower of the evil cult, asked his staff, "If we send men to recruit soldiers from the nearby villages and towns that have not yet been captured by Deucalion, can we defeat Deucalion?"

“Unfortunately, this isn’t feasible. Firstly, our supplies are extremely scarce due to the church’s doctrines. Even if those new recruits are just puppet soldiers who eat and drink for free, we don’t have enough weapons for them. Many industrial areas in Yaru’s cities are neglected because the artisans have embraced the evil cult and are obsessed with self-torture and torturing others; nobody is willing to forge weapons for us. Most of the weapons we have now are imported or stock from ten years ago. But Yaru is currently surrounded by three duchies, including Erebus, making it impossible to purchase weapons.” One of the strategists sighed heavily, speaking bluntly without fear of angering the followers of the evil cult.

However, when the entire evil cult is in danger, the followers of the evil cult will not say anything.

Soon, everyone fell into a long silence.

It wasn't until Yogluna suddenly saw her Farron greatsword and dagger that she remembered something.

She asked the officer among the few magicians in Pan's army, "What if we ask Rondor for help?"

Upon hearing this, the officers who were followers of the evil cult immediately said, "No! Those people in Rondor are a bunch of lunatics. They have no interest in pain and torture; they only want to usurp the fire. Going after them is tantamount to courting death!"

"Where are all those Langregs?" Yugluna looked at the officers' faces, secretly memorizing their features so she could feed them to the shadow creatures one by one later, while pretending to be thinking of a solution and asking them.

Unlike Rondor, many of those people began to hesitate about Dolangra, their homeland that could potentially become an ally.

Londor was indifferent to torture; they were more accustomed to eliminating threats completely, rather than imprisoning and torturing enemies for days or even decades like the Church of the Evil Spirits. Dolangreg, however, was different. Dunashandra was quite adept at torture. At least, even in death, her prime minister was kept under her curse within the royal city, unable to rest in peace.

After much deliberation, those people finally gave their answer.

"General, we think we can try negotiating with Dolangre. After all, their weapons are far superior to ours. Even if they're only willing to provide one batch of weapons, it would be good!"

Seeing this, Yugluna nodded and ordered the mages, "You few, immediately go and use those magic circle blueprints from a year ago to contact the people of Dorangreg. Tell them that as long as they can help us protect the capital, the Church will agree to any price!"

Hearing her words, the chests of the Evil Spirit Church mistakenly assumed she endorsed the Church's rule and echoed, "That's right! As long as they can help us defend the capital and defeat the armies of Erebus, Tartarus, and Styx, we, the Evil Spirit Church, are willing to pay any price!"

Little did they know, this was a trap set by Yogluna for the Church of Evil! (To be continued.)

Chapter 83 - Eugene Sotus

As the sun slowly rose, a light cavalry legion of 2,500 men arrived at Deucalion's camp.

Unlike Deucalion's army, which consisted mostly of heavy cavalry, this army was composed entirely of light cavalry.

This force consists of one thousand priests and clergy, one hundred mages, and fourteen hundred warriors.

They were all dressed in specially made leather armor, draped in red cloaks, and armed with the same longsword and amulet configuration. Only the mages replaced their amulets with magic wands.

As one of the organizers of this army, Lu Ming went to settle the troops down while Lothric was treating Tures, allowing the soldiers to rest briefly and prepare to recover as quickly as possible for the upcoming battle.

"I really didn't expect that Lu Ming would actually appoint you as the commander of Yggdrasil." Lying on the small bed, Tures, who was being miraculously healed by Lothric, looked at the woman sitting not far away, wearing a custom-made suit of armor, a golden cloak, with four arms and a pair of antennae on her forehead, and said in disbelief.

“Erepos’s army has reached its maximum size. If I don’t step in, Yogsotus simply won’t be able to assemble it. So I must step forward and take on the responsibility I should bear!” Ramanlas said with a smile, sitting on the blanket and looking at Tures.

"Men are really unreliable." Tures said angrily, looking at Ramanlas who was clearly betrayed by Lu Ming but was still grinning foolishly.

However, Lothric suddenly pressed his finger against her wound, causing her to cry out in pain.

"When you say men are unreliable, please note that the person treating you is a man!"

"......" "......"

Ramanlas and Haimir were slightly taken aback, then burst into laughter.

Torres, sweating profusely from the pain, could only glare angrily at them, silently remembering their vile words and vowing to get revenge later when he had the chance.

At this moment, Lu Ming, having finished arranging everything for Yugsotus, also entered. Seeing Ramanlas and Haimir laughing, while Tures glared angrily at them and Lothric, he looked at Lothric with some confusion, hoping Lothric could explain what had happened.

However, Lothric did not do that. Instead, he asked him, "Are the troops all settled?"

“Everything is settled. I also sent people to patrol several locations that the Deucalion scouts overlooked, to prevent Pan’s men from ambushing us again.” He casually took out his phone from his pocket, pulled out two cans of apple soda, tossed one to Lothric, and then sat down on the blanket in the tent, drinking his soda as he spoke.

Upon hearing this, Lothric nodded slightly, opened the soda, took a small sip, and then handed the rest of the soda to Torres.

Tures didn't mind and took it to drink. Although she disliked Lu Ming and Lothric, she didn't need to make things difficult for herself, after all, she knew that apple soda had a slight healing effect.

However, she was still somewhat bothered by the disdain Lu Ming showed towards her and Deucalion. So she smashed the empty can over Lu Ming's head, making him cry out "Ouch!", then pretended to hand the soda to Ramanlas, before lying down on the blanket and playing dead.

"We're going to fight [Pan] in the next few days. Do you think our new recruits can defeat [Pan]'s elite soldiers?" Ignoring Lu Ming's joke, Lothric asked Lu Ming after casting his final healing miracle on Tures.

Upon hearing this, Lu Ming smiled and looked at Lothric, saying, "We have a thousand priests, and they are all priests who can use miracles. When the time comes, let them throw out a barrage of lightning spears, giving [Pan] a thunderous downpour, which will lower their morale a bit, and then those new recruits will be able to fight against [Pan]'s elite troops. Otherwise, relying solely on those new recruits, it's unlikely that they can defeat soldiers from an elite force like [Pan]'s."

As he spoke, Lu Ming held up two fingers and laughed, "Furthermore, Hawkwood and I will also lead the charge to give the new recruits confidence. Plus, they're fighting alongside Deucalion's most elite cavalry regiment in Erebus, so they're bound to prove themselves. And I think our soldiers from Eugletus might not be so bad after all! After all, Hawkwood and I gave them seven days of hellish training."

"Hellish training?" Upon hearing this, Haimir looked at Lu Ming with some doubt, hoping that he could explain what kind of training it was.

But then, Lothric said, "Seven days and seven nights of hellish training, it's a miracle they survived. Judging from their appearance, they shouldn't be too bad off!"

"Huh? What kind of training is that? Why do you say it's a miracle to survive?" Haimir couldn't help but ask Lu Ming and Losrick.

"It's nothing much, we just locked them up with Roya's family, without food or water, and as long as they weren't eaten by the family, that's fine!"

"..." Seeing Lu Ming recount such a terrifying matter as if it were nothing, Haimir's face instantly turned pale. Just imagining what the familiars of the god Roya looked like made her rationality plummet. She had to shake her head vigorously to drive that indescribable yet hideous image out of her mind.

Although she had never seen the retinue of the god Roya, she had heard of those terrifying creatures from the priests of the Church of Light. She simply couldn't imagine how those soldiers of Eurystheus had survived dozens of mouths from those monsters without going mad!

Just then, a soldier from Yggdrasil suddenly walked in and said to Lu Ming and the others, "Sir, our scouts have discovered that [Pan] is summoning undead in their camp. Judging from the style of the armor, they should be the undead of Dolangreg!"

Upon hearing this, both Lu Ming and Lothric frowned, pondering what Pan was trying to do.

But whatever Pan's commander wants to do, they must stop them, otherwise, with the help of Dolan Gregor's undead army, Pan will be a huge obstacle!

So without saying a word, Lu Ming stood up from the blanket and said to Tures with a serious expression, "General, we must stop them now!"

After being miraculously healed by Lothric, Torres, who was almost completely recovered, saw Lu Ming's serious expression and immediately put on the armor with the help of Hymir. At the same time, he asked Lu Ming and Lothric to gather the army and prepare to launch a surprise attack on Pan's camp, lest Pan's people actually summon the people of Dorangreg.

After Lu Ming and Lothric left the military tent, Tures and Haimir saw that Ramanlas was also hanging three straight swords at his waist, looking as if he was also going to join the battle. They couldn't help but ask curiously, "Your Grace, are you also going to participate in the raid? Aren't you just a..."

"A symbol?" Ramanras interrupted them with a smile, holding the amulet Lu Ming had made. She then tapped her armor, saying confidently, "How could I stay in the camp, being protected by others, while my husband is charging into battle? Besides, I've been trained by Kaeya; even a dozen soldiers couldn't defeat me. Furthermore, don't think our Yogsotus armor is ordinary. This armor is enchanted and of high quality; not even Pan's flintlock musket, let alone dwarven gunpowder, could destroy it!"

"But on the battlefield, swords and spears have no eyes; anyone could die!"

“Yes, swords have no eyes, and anyone could die on the battlefield. But Lu Ming, for the sake of Yugsotus and this war, even had to entrust the school's opening ceremony to Miral. He even secretly left a will. As his wife, I have no reason to be afraid!”

"Alright. Do as you please. Just don't blame us for not warning you if you die!"

"Heh." Ramanlas shook his head with a smile, then left the military tent first.

Seeing this, Toures and Haimir could only smile helplessly, and then followed closely behind as they walked out of the military tent.

As soon as he stepped out of the military tent, several soldiers led his warhorse over.

Without saying anything, the three men, including Toures, mounted their horses and prepared to lead their troops in a surprise attack.

Meanwhile, Lu Ming and Lothric gathered their troops there, and soon assembled Deucalion's five thousand light cavalry and Euglesotus's one thousand priest light cavalry.

Looking at these soldiers, Tures realized that Lu Ming and Lothric were indeed incompatible with her personality and preferences. If it were her, she would have assembled heavy cavalry, not these light cavalry.

But things had already come to this, and she couldn't say anything more. She could only lead her troops away. After all, time was of the essence. If Pan's people summoned a large number of Drangreg's undead, it would be disastrous news for Deucalion and Yogg-Sotus!

Because those undead are not easy to deal with, and they might even fall into their hands!

Everyone traveled light and rushed to Pan's camp as quickly as possible. Only Lothric and Hawkwood remained at the main camp to prevent an enemy attack.

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

Twenty minutes later, Lu Ming and his men, leading six thousand light cavalry, arrived at a point half a kilometer away from Pan's camp.

Along the way, every single scout from Pan that they encountered was instantly killed by Lu Ming's Soul Spear, without giving them any chance to report to Pan's commander.

So when Lu Ming and the others rushed to attack them, they were unaware that disaster was about to befall them!

Behind a mage standing before a massive magic circle were officers of the Church of the Evil Spirits. Watching the undead soldiers of Dorangregg being summoned one by one, soon numbering around one or two thousand, their confidence surged. They believed they would surely defeat Deucalion this time, thus storming into Erebus and allowing the Church of the Evil Spirits to establish a foothold in Yaru and Erebus.

However, they failed to notice that their current commander, Yogluna, the daughter of the previous commander Edsol, didn't care how many undead soldiers the magic circle could summon. She wasn't even willing to approach it.

This puzzled some officers who were not members of the evil cult, who asked her, "General, why don't you go to the magic circle to see how many undead the mages have summoned, instead of secretly gathering troops here?"

But this is how Yugluna answered.

"The people over there are basically corrupted by the Church of Evil Spirits. Wouldn't it be asking for trouble for me, a follower of the Church of Light, to go there? Besides, do you think Lu Ming and Lothric of Yggdrasil would just sit idly by and ignore that magic circle?"

Upon hearing this, the officers were all taken aback. They had thought that Yugluna, the second young lady who had always been protected by Edsor, was just a talented person with a knack for military formations. However, they did not expect that this second young lady was also a cunning and scheming person.

They actually want to use Deucalion and Euglesotus to eliminate those within Pan who have been corrupted by the evil cult!

Unfortunately, Pan's reason for fighting Deucalion wasn't because of his own cult of evil spirits, but because of Duke Yaru's orders. As long as the young lady remained in the hands of the cult, Pan had to fight Deucalion and Euglenothus.

Hundreds of years ago, when they gained the approval of the god Pan and received the name "Pan," all the officers of "Pan" swore an oath never to betray the Grand Duke. If they did so, every single one of "Pan" would be wiped out, and their souls would never find peace!

This oath has been passed down from ancient times to the present day. Every soldier and officer who joins [Pan] takes this oath without exception.

Therefore, for the young lady who is currently controlled by the evil cult in the capital, who is also the current Grand Duke, they will fight to the last man on the battlefield!

Therefore, even knowing that Lu Ming and his group would launch a surprise attack without hesitation after learning that she was summoning the undead of Dolangreg, thus allowing them to wipe out all the cultists of the evil spirit church on the other side of the magic circle, Yugluna still had to gather her troops to prepare to catch Lu Ming and his group off guard from the flank!

Just then, a cry of surprise reached the ears of Yugluna and the others.

"Look! What are those?!" a soldier exclaimed, pointing to the distant sky.
