The wrong transmigrator assigned by the system

Neither Pan's flintlock bullets nor Deucalion's charging knights' sabers and lances could stop their battle. Therefore, even wyverns could not stop them.

He swung his greatsword heavily at his opponent, simultaneously slashing at him with his dagger. But in the end, the greatsword struck another greatsword, and the dagger was blocked by the opponent's dagger.

Left with no other option, Lu Ming had to use Nitro Charge to increase his speed.

On the other side, Yug Luna had the same idea, so at the same time Lu Ming wrapped the flames of Nitro Charge onto the Farron Greatsword, she also wrapped the flames onto the Farron Greatsword!

With a loud "BOOM!!!", a huge bipedal dragon landed not far from Lu Ming and Yugluna, letting out a terrifying roar.

The foul breath accompanied by the roar made Lu Ming and Yug Luna frown. The next moment, the two of them used their Farron greatswords to cut the ungrateful wyvern and its master, who had chosen the wrong opponent, into several pieces!

The instant the flame-encased Franz Greatsword sliced ​​through the wyvern and its master, Lu Ming and Yugluna's daggers struck rapidly, producing a series of metallic clangs that sounded like a single, resounding clashing of metal.

By the time the wyvern's blood splattered out, the two of them were already far away from there.

On the battlefield, Lu Ming coldly stared at Yug Luna, then unleashed his Divine Speed, preparing to end the battle with lightning speed.

Because of their wyvern form, there were no Erebus or Yaru soldiers nearby. With no soldiers in their way, Lu Ming no longer needed to worry about anything when using his divine speed. So, in a flash, he rushed towards Yugluna like a bolt of lightning.

However... (To be continued.)

Chapter 88 - Beneath the Crimson Forest

"BOOM!!!" "BOOM!!!"

The two sudden explosions startled both Erebus and Yaru's armies.

They looked in the direction of the explosion and saw several monsters, half of which were already severely injured and half of their bodies were puppets, forcibly breaking through their and the enemy's puppet soldiers' defenses and trying to kill their way to the battlefield!

Upon seeing this, both Lu Ming and Yugluna cursed under their breath, "Damn it!"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than the puppet parts of those golem monsters flashed with an eerie light, followed by a violent explosion! It obliterated his own companions and the golem soldiers of Erebus or Yaru!

Even the members of the Evil Spirit Church were alarmed by this sight. This tactic of forcibly disintegrating the puppet soldiers through self-destruction and then breaking through the defenses before they could regenerate was incredibly foolish. The explosion would not only disintegrate the puppet soldiers but also kill their own comrades! Even if they managed to break through the puppet soldiers' defenses, how many would survive?

Therefore, both the officers of Erebus and Yaru subconsciously imagined the person controlling these puppet monsters as a wealthy and arrogant madman!

But when the soldiers on both sides saw what those puppet monsters were made of, almost everyone instinctively realized that those people weren't human! Because these puppet monsters were monsters created from living people!

While fighting the puppet soldiers, they wailed and begged for an end to their suffering and for salvation for their souls. Unfortunately, their clothing revealed them to be members of the evil cult, making it impossible for either the soldiers of Erebus or Yaru to rescue them. Furthermore, as puppet monsters, though lacking independent thought and speech, they were still controlled by those behind them. Rescuing them would be far too dangerous.

Needless to say, apart from the exceptionally tolerant gods of death and light, their souls, transformed into this form, would never be accepted by anyone else. In other words, they are the monsters that the members of the evil cult fear most and least want to become.

Watching the puppet monsters howl and charge towards the battlefield where his two armies were located, Lu Ming sighed slightly and mentally moved up the task of eliminating Falcels.

Originally, I planned to deal with her slowly after the war against Yaru and the defeat of Aifa's army. But now I think I should find her during this war and feed her to the ghosts. That way, I won't be stabbed in the back while Mirakaisa is fighting Aifa's invasion!

However, now is not the time to think about these things. Although those puppet monsters are rushing towards the battlefield, thanks to the obstruction of the puppet soldiers, even if they manage to reach this point, very few will remain. Besides, as long as the binding magic on the puppet soldiers is stable enough, they can regenerate no matter how many times they are dismantled! But those puppet monsters are dead, and that's it!

Regardless of the puppet monsters, the battle between the armies of the Duchy of Erebus and the Duchy of Yaru continued.

Although his first attempt at Divine Speed ​​was interrupted by the puppet monster's suicidal attack, Lu Ming quickly unleashed his second Divine Speed!

With his lightning-fast movements, Lu Ming arrived in front of Yug Luna in an instant. Before she could react, he slammed the hilt of his Farron Greatsword into her stomach, sending her flying.

Yugluna, struck hard in the abdomen, coughed up a mouthful of blood as she flew through the air. The blood left a long trail in the air before falling back down with her.

Even after severely injuring Yugluna, Lu Ming dared not relax for a moment. Putting aside the fact that he was currently on the battlefield, the fact that he still gripped the Farron Greatsword tightly when Yugluna was sent flying spoke volumes.

Soon, after knocking down two Pan soldiers, Yugluna used the Farron Greatsword to support herself and stood up again.

"Pah!" Standing up, spitting out the remaining blood in her mouth, Yugluna then looked at Lu Ming with an unusually cold gaze.

In that instant, a terrible premonition suddenly arose in his heart. Although he didn't know why, he hurriedly held the Franz Greatsword in front of him, trying to use it to block the threat that might knock him down.

Just as he held the Franz Greatsword to his chest, a tremendous force suddenly struck the Franz Greatsword, sending him and his weapon flying.

Lu Ming somersaulted in mid-air, planting the Franz Greatsword into the ground, leaving a long mark, but then stopped and landed very smoothly.

"Divine Speed?" Lu Ming hadn't seen Yug Luna's attack clearly, which meant that the opponent also possessed fast-moving offensive skills like Divine Speed ​​or High Speed.

However, why does Yuguruna possess these skills? And why are her skills essentially the same as her own? That remains a mystery.

To test whether his opponent truly possessed the exact same skill tree as him, Lu Ming seized the opportunity during Yuguruna's attack interval and unleashed two skills: Freezing Ray and Dark Pulse.

As a result, Yuguruna directly countered the Evil Pulse with a Dragon Pulse and then forcibly blocked the Ice Beam with a Flame Kick.

From this point on, Lu Ming was basically certain that the opponent's skills were almost identical to his own. There might be slight differences, but they wouldn't be significant.

Facing her is like facing oneself, which is frustrating. This applies to both Lu Ming and Yugluna!

"This guy..." Lu Ming muttered to himself, staring at his opponent. But soon, the two of them were fighting again.

The clash of swords, the sparks flying, and the fierce attacks all proved that they were fighting with all their might!

However, anyone fighting someone with identical physical abilities, skills, weaponry, and even fighting styles will find it extremely difficult. If no differences emerge, such a battle could continue even after the current conflict ends.

However, Lu Ming's sudden attack earlier caused great harm to Yugluna, which is a difference.

Although the attack did not cause Yugluna much injury, given enough time, the injury could very well become fatal!

Lu Ming didn't really want to kill Yugluna, because the new Grand Duke of Yaru needed manpower to help her eradicate the evil cult and control the entire Yaru. As the youngest of the best candidates, Yugluna was the most suitable to lead the army.

However, if Shay and his men cannot deliver the new Grand Duke of Yaru before the battle between Deucalion and Pan ends, then Yugluna's death will be inevitable. Deucalion is currently at a disadvantage overall; without inflicting some cost on Pan, the battle cannot continue. Therefore, if the Grand Duke cannot arrive in time to end the battle, then Yugluna must die!

With sword strike after sword strike, the two men's attacks never stopped.

While Lu Ming and Yugluna were locked in a fierce battle, Torres and Ramanlas also encountered difficulties.

As the most elite infantry legion in Yaru and even Miracaisa, Pan's capable generals couldn't possibly be limited to just Yugluna. While charging back and forth on the battlefield, Tures and Ramaras encountered four men who appeared to be captains of a thousand-man squad and were besieged by them.

Unlike ordinary captains of a thousand-man squad, these four men all wielded dragonguard halberds, completely unaffected by the blades in the hands of Torres and Ramanas. Even the specially crafted sword 'Irithyll's Chillwind,' sharper than a regular Irithyll straight sword, couldn't cut through these dragonguard halberds. Furthermore, these four also carried the rectangular shields of the Zain Knights, and their martial arts skills surpassed those of Torres and Ramanas. In no time, they had completely overwhelmed Torres and Ramanas.

If it weren't for the desperate rescue by several knights in Lu Ming's lord's guard, Tures and Ramanlas would probably have been unhorsed and killed by the four Pan's thousand-man captains.

Ironically, those knights had all forced their way from a relatively far part of the battlefield to come to their rescue, while Ramanlas's guards, who were clearly very close to the two of them, didn't even glance at their mistress, Ramanlas.

The stalemate in the battle, coupled with Toures's suppression by Pan's generals, caused Haimir to lose interest in directing the priests' lightning spear attacks. Instead, he led most of the remaining priests onto the battlefield, using them as light cavalry. The remaining hundred or so priests, under the command of a centurion, continued to hurl lightning spears at Pan's soldiers and the black wyverns in the sky, too afraid to descend due to the lightning strikes...

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

Mounted on horseback, Ramanlas covered her wound with her hand. Under the protection of the knights, she and Tures, who had been stabbed in the abdomen by Pan's captain of the thousand-man squad, retreated to the outer edge of the battlefield.

Looking at the countless corpses on the battlefield and the exhausted soldiers and generals on both sides still fighting, Ramanlas felt the cruelty of the battlefield.

It was already past 1 p.m.

In the span of five hours and twenty minutes, soldiers on both sides were falling rapidly. At this moment, Deucalion had less than three thousand men left, and Pan had only six thousand. Eugene Sotus was in even worse shape.

Because the commander temporarily replaced a batch of officers, and because the insectoid guards that Ramanas used to replace the knights in Lu Ming's lord's guard didn't care about the lives of their soldiers, Yugsotus now only has 126 men left. Ten of them are Lu Ming's men, sixteen are Ramanas's men, and the rest are the priests who didn't rush into battle.

Regardless of whether the battle went well or not, Erebus was severely weakened, and Eugenestus's newly formed army was practically defunct.

All of this was due to the mistakes of Ramanlas and Toures. If they hadn't acted unilaterally this time, but instead, as they always have, allowed their generals to offer their opinions and planned tactics in advance, the battle situation wouldn't have become so unfavorable!

Because Lu Ming, Lothric, and other generals would pre-arrange the timing of the priests and mages casting spells and miracles, unlike Tures and Ramanlas who didn't think of anything and chose to command them to cast spells on the battlefield, the undead on Pan's side seized the initiative and wiped out almost half of the magic forces with a barrage of lightning spears.

The long and fierce battles left a deep-seated hatred in the hearts of the soldiers of Erebus and Yarru, especially among the soldiers of Euglesotus.

Although many people forcibly broke through the puppet soldiers' defenses during the battle, only to be killed by the puppet monsters that exploded upon entering the battlefield, it was the enemy who killed the most of their own comrades.

If the enemy doesn't surrender, then kill them all here.

This extreme thought crossed the minds of all the soldiers on both sides of Erebus and Yaru. Even Lu Ming, Yugluna, Lothric, and others were not immune. Because the number of dead was simply too great!

Fighting and relentlessly attacking the enemy is what everyone except the seriously wounded is doing right now.

Lu Ming and Yug Luna continued to attack each other relentlessly, even though their wrists were almost broken.

Both were utterly exhausted, their magic power depleted, and they were on the verge of collapse. Yugruna, who was already injured, had coughed up blood multiple times during the battle, her face so pale that she looked as if she would die at any moment.

However, Lu Ming wasn't in much better shape than her. During the long battle, Yugluna had repeatedly ambushed him with her dagger, leaving him with numerous wounds. The deepest wound was on Lu Ming's left arm, where he held the dagger, and it was this wound that allowed Yugluna to bring the battle back to a stalemate. Because of this wound, Lu Ming's left hand could no longer grip the dagger tightly, thus reducing the strength of his attacks.

After another sword-to-sword exchange, Lu Ming and Yugluna each leaped backward, standing about five or six meters apart, staring coldly at each other.

Staring at each other, Lu Ming and Yugluna both took a deep breath, gathering their last bit of strength to launch a final attack.

As the cold air was inhaled and replaced the warmed exhaust air in their lungs, Lu Ming and Yugluna began to move.

With their feet stomping hard on the ground, the two of them rushed out the next moment.

One step, two steps, three steps. On the third step, the two of them simultaneously swung their Franz greatswords and slashed at each other!

Suddenly, a childish voice, aided by magic, resounded throughout the entire battlefield.

"I am Grand Duke Vilka Hakz of Yaru. I command you to cease your fighting!!"

Immediately, everyone—Pan, Deucalion, the two factions of undead from Dorangregg, and the shadow demons summoned by Lu Ming—stopped what they were doing and turned to look in the direction from which the childish voice came. They saw a little girl of only five or six years old, wearing clothes reserved for grand dukes and nobles.

Seeing her, Tures, Ramanas, and the others breathed a sigh of relief, because the war between the three duchies and the Yaru Duchy was over, and they no longer needed to fight [Pan]. Next, they only needed to fight the Evil Spirit Church.

However, two people on the battlefield ignored Grand Duke Vilka Hakz's words: Lu Ming and Yugluna.

Their swords did not falter for the slightest because of the Grand Duke's words; instead, they continued their relentless strikes towards each other. Until the two Franz greatswords collided for the last time and shattered.

The shards of the sword cut their faces, leaving scars.

Interestingly, the shards that sliced ​​their faces belonged to their opponent's Franz Greatsword. That is to say, even shattered and broken in two, the sword still carried its master's will, wounding its adversary! (To be continued.)

Chapter 89 - Yarlung

Lu Ming glanced at the broken sword in his hand, snorted coldly, and tossed it aside. He then turned and walked towards his own army. Yugluna also discarded her broken sword and returned to her own troops.

With the arrival of the young Grand Duke of Yaru, the battle between Deucalion and Pan came to an end.

Meanwhile, Mike and Pan's undead commander used the enemy's undead soldiers to create two or three undead campfires to heal their own soldiers and commander.

Silently sitting beside one of the three campfires, Lu Ming watched the soldiers sitting around the fire one after another in the distance, his thoughts unreadable.

As the flames healed Lu Ming's wounds, Ramanlas and Tures arrived at his side, protected by the knights of his lord's guard.

Hearing footsteps, he looked at Ramanlas. At this moment, Ramanlas seemed somewhat frightened, hesitant to look at Lu Ming, like a child who had made a mistake. However, her mistake was no small one; it caused heavy casualties to the Yugsotus Cavalry Regiment, which Lu Ming and Lothric had painstakingly built up.

Perhaps Lothric didn't care about those lives, but Lu Ming felt very uncomfortable. At least for now, he didn't want to think about those soldiers...

After his injuries were healed, Lu Ming and Lothric went to the new Grand Duke of Yaru to discuss the upcoming battle against the Church of Evil.

With the arrival of Grand Duke Vilca Hakz and the end of the battle between Deucalion and Pan, the black wyvern circling high in the sky and the person on its back flew away. The puppet monsters of Falcels also ceased their attacks and retreated. Of course, the puppet soldiers of Erebus and Yaru did not pursue the puppet monsters.

“Your Grace, we are nobles under the command of Grand Duke Rells Hedist. We wish to discuss with you the matter of the Duchy of Yaru inexplicably declaring war on our Duchy of Erebus.” Lothric took a deep breath before approaching Grand Duke Vilka Hakz and then spoke to her.

"Although all of this was done by the Church of Evil Spirits, I, Vilka Hackz, the Grand Duke of the Duchy of Yaru, am willing to discuss the next steps with you." Grand Duke Vilka Hackz, though only six years old, resembled the child of a highly trained noble family. She didn't seem at all like an illegitimate daughter, a six-year-old girl.

“Then let’s set the time for two hours from now. After all, both our soldiers and yours need to rest, and you also need an advisor right now.” Lu Ming took out his pocket watch, glanced at the time, and then said.

“Alright.” Grand Duke Vilka Hakz nodded slightly, then walked over to Pan and accepted the greetings from Yugluna and the others.

Thus, Deucalion, Pan, and the last remaining Yggdrasil, together with the undead legions of both sides, established two camps. Soldiers from the two different duchies rested and ate in their respective camps.
