But soon, she stopped thinking about it. If she couldn't survive the battlefield, thinking about it now was pointless!

Within Pan's army ranks, Yogg-Roh, gripping the Faran greatsword, gazed at the distant Erebus army, took a deep breath, and roared, "All troops, attack!!!"

Immediately, all the soldiers marched toward the combined forces of Erebus's Deucalion Cavalry Regiment and Yggsotus Cavalry Regiment, as well as an army that no longer obeyed Dunashandra's Dolangureg, step by step toward Erebus's army.

The uniform pace and thunderous footsteps instilled some fear in the warhorses of the Erebus army.

An elite army is not scary; what is scary is an elite army that is ready to die and fights with the determination to die!

The current Pan army is just such an army. They are not afraid of death; they are willing to give up their lives for the Grand Duke's orders. And facing such an army, apart from Mac's undead army, both Euclitus and Deucalion are somewhat afraid.

"Prepare to issue orders, Your Grace!" Mounted on his warhorse, Tures glanced at Pan's army, then spoke to Ramanlas beside him.

Upon hearing this, Ramanras drew her sword without hesitation, pointing it at the allied forces of [Pan]'s Dolangreg and Dunashandra, and roared, "Charge! All troops!!!"

In an instant, a large number of knights swarmed forward and charged into Pan's army!

When Lu Ming saw that the person issuing the orders was not Toures but his ninth wife, Ramanlas, whom he had recently married, he couldn't help but sigh deeply and mutter to himself, "Stupid woman..."

Then, just as his knights collided with Pan's array of giant shields and spears, he, along with Lothric, Mike, and Hawkwood, led his thousand knights out from both flanks and charged straight at Pan's sides, preparing to attack his flanks!

Pan's response to their charge was simple: to fire his flintlock musket in succession.

Pan's flintlock musket is an imported weapon from Kalkssa. It has a special design that allows for continuous fire, and the bullets are engraved with runes, making it very effective at killing heavy cavalry.

The knights under Lu Ming, Lothric, and Hawkwood were precisely the heavy cavalry assigned to them by Deucalion, and they were utterly unable to defend against Pan's flintlock musket fire. Only Mac's undead cavalry were able to withstand the fire, charge into Pan's musketeer unit, slaughter the musketeers, and fight alongside the undead army that had long been under Dunathon's command.

Undeterred by the firepower of flintlock muskets and the constant loss of their comrades, Lu Ming and his two companions led the knights to fight their way to Pan's army.

But what awaited them was the defensive line of the second pike squad that had come to their aid!

They were leaning diagonally towards the forest of spears they had erected, waiting for them to crash into them. However, Lu Ming and the others were already unable to stop.

The losses were already significant enough. If they stopped, turned back, or changed direction at this point, they would be riddled with bullets by Pan's soldiers with flintlock muskets. So, they had no choice but to charge headlong into the enemy.

However, with Lu Ming and Lothric around, how could they possibly fail to break through the stalemate?

Just as they were about to collide with Pan's spear formation, Lu Ming and Lothric unleashed several spells, forcibly tearing a gap in the formation and leading their knights into Pan's musketeers.

"I'm leaving the army to you. I'm going to deal with Lu Ming and Lothric." Seeing Lu Ming and Lothric charge into her musketeer formation, Yugluna immediately said to her adjutant.

Then, he took the Franz Greatsword and charged towards Lu Ming and the others!

"Lu Ming, prepare to die!!" Yugluna dashed through the soldiers and leaped out from a short distance away from Lu Ming, slashing at him with the Fran greatsword in her hand.

Seeing this, Lu Ming couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth into a smile. Knowing all along that he would inevitably encounter Yugluna, Lu Ming had already prepared the Farron Greatsword, ready to fight Yugluna and then capture her alive!

Just as Yugruna's Farron Greatsword was about to strike him, Lu Ming grabbed the Farron Greatsword on his back and swung it forcefully. With a loud bang, the two Farron Greatswords collided violently.

In an instant, Lu Ming and Yug Luna were blasted away by the immense force of the collision of the Fran greatswords. One of them crashed into several knights, while the other slammed into a group of musketeers.

But soon, the two of them stood up, swung their Franz greatswords, and killed the musketeers and knights around them!

"Ah!!!" "Ah!!!"

With a loud roar, they charged at each other, covered in blood, attacking each other with massive, heavy blows of blood, ramming one Fran sword into another again and again.

The two were exceptionally ferocious, causing the soldiers of both Erebus and Yaru to instinctively avoid them. The clash of their greatswords produced a deafening roar, comparable to thunder; anyone struck by such force and the sharpness of their weapons would be either killed or maimed!

So it's best to leave this area to Lu Ming and Yugluna, to avoid them getting accidentally injured. Otherwise, they'll have nowhere to seek justice if they die! (To be continued.)

Chapter 87 - In the Blood-Red Forest

On the battlefield, Ramanlas and Tures continuously directed their troops through messengers and flag bearers. When the battle reached a stalemate, they issued orders without hesitation, instructing Haimir to command the mages and priests to use miracles and magic to annihilate the enemy! But at that moment, from the opposing Pan's army, a large number of lightning spears were suddenly hurled at Haimir!

Upon seeing this, Toures was thrown into a panic and lost his ability to give orders.

Fortunately, the lightning spears were not aimed at Haimir, but at the mages and priests of Yogsotus behind him.

As a torrential downpour of lightning bolts rained down, Yogg-Sotus's already small force of one hundred mages was reduced to only one or two. The priests suffered even greater losses, with only a little over four hundred remaining—less than half their original number!

Seeing such a huge loss, Ramanras was immediately shocked. Yogsoltus's numbers were already small, and now the battle had only just begun, yet the mages and priests had already suffered such heavy casualties. If this continued, it was uncertain whether Yogsoltus would even have a hundred men left by the end of the battle.

Having likely discovered the torrential rain of lightning spears raining down on Himir's side, Lothric and Mack immediately led their knights towards Dolangreg's undead clerics hidden within the spear formation. They knew that if the undead clerics unleashed another barrage of lightning spears on Himir's side, they would be completely deprived of magical and miraculous support. This would be extremely disadvantageous!

While Lu Ming was locked in combat with Yog Luna, Lothric and Mike were dealing with the undead clerics, and Hawkwood was leading his men in slaughtering the musketeers, a bug-like guard from Ramana suddenly approached Ramana and asked her, "Your Grace, should we bring the remaining knights to join the battle?"

After glancing at the situation on the battlefield, Ramanlas nodded after a moment's thought.

Seeing this, the insectoid guard left with a strange smile. He then joined the other insectoid guards and led his knights into battle.

But for some reason, Ramanlas suddenly felt that the guard's smile as he left was somewhat malicious. She recalled the words Princess Ella and Lu Ming's other two wives, Sham and Lily, had spoken when she and Lu Ming led the army out. She suddenly realized she was falling into a trap. But what kind of trap was it? Would it be dangerous? She didn't know what a trap was. Yet, those words of advice lingered in her mind, refusing to leave.

"Remember this: never use your own guards. If you absolutely must do something, use the men from Lu Ming's lord's guard..."

Just as Ramanlas was enveloped by an unknown sense of foreboding, the priests under Haimir's command finally fired their lightning spears at Pan's army.

However, Dolangreg had taken the lead and killed too many priests and mages, which meant that Lu Ming and his team's lightning spear rain was not powerful enough to put any pressure on Pan's soldiers.

It can be said that the current situation is gradually turning against the army of the Principality of Erebus.

Whether it's the number of soldiers killed or wounded, or anything else, it's all equally disadvantageous to them.

Therefore, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Lu Ming's army may lose.

However, this variable does not necessarily lead them to victory, since variables are uncertain!

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

Standing in the forest, a ghostly blue, transparent figure watched from afar as the armies of Erebus and Yaru clashed.

"The Church of Evil Spirits, Evangelis, you raised it from its weak state, hoping it would help you. But now it's devouring this country..."

To the left of the ghost, about three or four kilometers away, Pharsels and her puppet soldiers were also watching Erebus and Yaru fight.

Unlike the ghost's anxieties, Falcaires didn't care how many people died or whether the Church of the Evil Spirits was ravaging the country. All she cared about was whether the throne was hers. As for how much longer the throne would last, that was none of her concern.

Watching the armies of Erebus and Yaru throw lightning spears at each other, Falserth knew that if he were to send his puppet soldiers, made from living people, to fight either side head-on, they would likely be defeated in less than ten minutes.

So if you don't apply now, you'll miss your chance.

"on!"

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

The clash of swords produced a tremendous sound.

After another collision, Lu Ming and Yugluna suddenly stopped attacking each other, retreated, and took a breath.

The prolonged wielding of their greatswords, coupled with the fact that their opponent wielded an equally heavy greatsword, had left both of their wrists aching as if they were about to break. But the battle was far from over; neither of them had yet fallen.

While catching his breath, Lu Ming suddenly heard Yugluna ask him, "Hey, have you arranged for puppet soldiers to ambush anyone trying to take advantage of the chaos?"

Lu Ming knew exactly who Yugluna was referring to. So he smiled slightly and said, "The victor of this war can only emerge from the combined forces of our three great duchies and Yaru. Others who want to reap the benefits should not even think about it!"

Upon hearing this, Yugluna suddenly laughed.

Because in the distance of the battlefield, suddenly, bursts of thunder and the cries of monsters being slaughtered echoed in the air!

Lu Ming was the first to know that Pharsels was in Yaru, and he also knew from the beginning that she was reforming the Church of Evil Spirits. So, on his way to fight against Pan in Yaru, he placed the puppet soldiers made by Miral in the supplies for Deucalion and Yoggsotus in the northwest corner of the battlefield to prevent a sneak attack by someone, which led to the defeat of Erebus and Yaru.

Like Lu Ming, Yugluna also deployed puppet soldiers, but placed them in the southeast of the battlefield.

These two directions happen to be the locations where Falcels' puppet monsters launched their attacks on Deucalion and [Pan], who were engaged in battle!

As a result, Falsilus's puppet monsters were intercepted by the puppet soldiers of both sides engaged in battle as soon as they charged onto the battlefield. Moreover, because the puppet soldiers of Erebus and Yaru were improved versions, while Falsilus's puppet monsters used centuries-old technology, they were utterly routed upon encountering these two types of puppet soldiers and were quickly driven back.

However, this tacit understanding did not hinder the battle between Lu Ming and Yugluna.

After confirming that Falsilus's puppet monsters couldn't cause any trouble, Lu Ming and Yugluna once again began their duel.

Meanwhile, after hearing from her scouts that they had tried to profit from the battle between them and [Pan] but were instead driven back by the puppet troops deployed by Lu Ming, Tures suddenly realized that the situation in the Duchy of Yaru was not simple. At least not as simple as she had thought.

Watching Lu Ming locked in fierce combat with Yogluna and Lothric desperately fighting the undead cleric on the battlefield, Tures suddenly realized that he was no longer just an executor of a plan, but rather its mastermind. Lu Ming and Lothric were the main planners of this operation against Yaru, and no one could escape their control.

But soon, the scouts brought back news that Yalu's puppet soldiers had also engaged in battle with a third-party force.

Although the third-party forces were unable to disrupt the battlefield thanks to Lu Ming and Yugluna's arrangements, for some reason, Tures felt that Lu Ming, Lothric, and Yugluna were somewhat terrifying. The third-party forces were wiped out before they even had a chance to act.

Such a scheme requires substantial intelligence support. Without sufficient intelligence, they would have no way of knowing about the existence of a third-party force. Therefore, this third-party force may already be under close surveillance by spies planted within them!

However, the matter involving third parties is currently irrelevant to her and the overall situation. The balance is now gradually tilting in Pan's favor.

If things continue like this, Deucalion will suffer his first defeat since his formation, and Eugene Sotus's new army will also suffer a complete defeat in its first battle!

Therefore, Tures and Ramanlas could not let the situation continue like this. So, the two of them led their only three hundred guards into the battle, hoping to change the course of the war with their bravery.

Unfortunately, this didn't work.

Pan was already prepared to die fighting them. What good would it do for the two of them to kill more enemy soldiers? It would be useless!

There were no reinforcements, no support, and no hope. At this moment, both armies were exchanging their own strength and lives for the death of the other.

Whoever exhausts their forces first wins, though this victory is hardly better than defeat...

Perhaps sensing the current situation, while fighting with Yugluna, Lu Ming used summoning magic to summon a little girl wearing a black dress, with a mouth that stretched all the way to behind her ears, hands and feet that were dragon claws, and four pairs of wings.

"Go and wipe out those Yaru soldiers!" Lu Ming ordered decisively after the little girl opened her completely black eyes.

"Roar~~!!!" Upon hearing Lu Ming's command, the little girl immediately opened her mouth full of sharp teeth and let out a terrifying roar. Then she flapped the wings on her back and charged towards Yaru's soldiers.

The addition of the Shadow Demon, while not changing anything, at least adds another fighting force.

But Lu Ming did not expect that shortly after he summoned the shadow demon that had made a pact with him, a large number of black wyverns suddenly flew in from afar and swooped down on the battlefield!

"Watch out!! It's the dragon knights of the Evil Spirit Church!!" Upon seeing the black bipedal dragons, many of the knights on Lu Ming's side shouted to warn their companions.

Stopping their fight, Lu Ming and Yugluna both turned to look at the black bipedal dragons.

The two of them couldn't understand why the Evil Spirit Church would send out several black wyverns, which they already didn't have many of. Could it be that they were on the verge of collapse and needed Pan to return, hence the wyverns as reinforcements? Or...?

Regardless of what those dragon riders from the evil cult were doing there, Lu Ming, Lothric, Ramanras, Haimir, Mike, Tures, and the others all had only one thought: to bring them down!

As the wyvern riders drew near, Haimir, without a word, ordered the priests to change their target to the wyvern. In an instant, over four hundred lightning spears shot into the sky, heading towards the wyverns.

Seeing a barrage of lightning bolts raining down on them, the members of the evil cult immediately unleashed the divine magic of various evil gods to block the storm. Even so, some of the unlucky dragon riders were still struck by numerous lightning bolts, plummeting from the sky and dying along with their dragons!

However, some dragon riders managed to break through the barrage of lightning spears and charge into the battlefield, spewing poisonous mist from their wyverns onto both sides' armies.

No, it can't be called opposing sides. The Evil Spirit Church never considered Pan as one of their own. They were just pawns that the Evil Spirit Church could use and then discard!

The sudden attack by the wyverns threw both the armies of Erebus and Yarru into disarray.

All the soldiers immediately moved away from the poisonous mist spewed by the wyvern, fearing they would be poisoned to death by it.

Only the knights under Lothric and Highmir remained calm. Instead, they drew their bows and began firing a barrage of arrows at the wyvern, determined to kill all the troublesome creatures!

After seeing someone deal with the wyverns, Lu Ming and Yugluna stopped paying attention to them and continued their duel.
