When he met Lothric and Mike, he found them struggling with a few sets of armor.
"What's going on? Why did you two have Miss Tures call me over in the middle of the night?" As he walked over to them, Liu Ming sat down on a large rock that was being used as a stool and asked Lothric and Mike.
"A soldier just came to report that several of our armor sets had been replaced. Turns out, Mike discovered his own armor had been replaced too!" Lothric said, rubbing his forehead, clearly annoyed.
At this moment, Mike kicked at several sets of armor on the ground and said, "Although these armors look very similar to our Dorranger armor, if you look closely, you'll find that the patterns on these things are completely different from those on Dorranger armor. The quality is also extremely poor!"
"Were there only six sets of armor that were replaced?" After briefly counting the armor on the ground, Liu Ming frowned and asked Lothric and Mike.
"Besides these six sets of armor, there are also ten shields," Mike sighed helplessly, speaking the truth.
Upon hearing this, Liu Ming thought for a moment, then took out five sets of Silver Knight Armor, one set of Crystal Armor, and a shield he had obtained while fighting Crystal Wraiths in the Duke's Library from his phone. He said to Mike, "These are the best armors I have. Also, these shields are pretty good too. Let's make do with them for now."
Picking up the strangely shaped crystal armor, Mike asked curiously, "What's that thing on here? Crystals?"
"almost."
“As far as I know, this kind of crystal armor has extremely poor resistance to magic, but extremely strong physical defense. However, I remember that besides that old monster, only the Crystal Elder Brothers know crystal magic. Did you encounter that old monster?” After carefully examining the crystal armor in Mike’s hand, he frowned and asked Liu Ming.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t encounter that Demon King after that. I stole this armor from a large group of crystal monsters in the Crystal Forest. It also comes with a crystal longsword.” Knowing that Lothric hated the Demon King because of his brother, Liu Ming immediately explained.
Hearing Liu Ming's explanation, Lothric stopped being suspicious. Although he didn't know what the Crystal Forest was, as long as that old monster didn't appear here or harm the people here, that was enough.
Ignoring the conversation between Liu Ming and Lothric, Mike drew his longsword and tested the crystal armor's defensive capabilities. He discovered that his sword couldn't even leave a scratch on the armor. Even if the crystals were cut off, they would quickly regenerate. This was rather frightening!
Picking up the crystal fragments from the ground and glancing at them, Lothric said to Lu Ming and McDougall, "I can manufacture these crystals. If given some time, I think I should be able to mass-produce this armor."
"What do you mean?" Mike looked at Lothric warily, afraid that he might say something inappropriate.
Unfortunately, the more he tried to stop Lothric from saying it, the more Lothric insisted on saying it.
"What I mean is, you hand over the armor to me, and in a few days, I'll give you several sets of this armor!"
"What should I wear?" Since his position was not as high as Los Rick's, Mike could only ask resignedly.
"Naked running and tumbling flow".
"......" "......"
Lothric's words left both Ming and Mike speechless.
Perhaps knowing that his suggestion was problematic, it was really inappropriate for a general like Mike, who had more than two thousand men under his command, to go to the battlefield naked.
At the very least, one should wear leather armor to avoid being looked down upon by enemy soldiers.
Therefore, Lothric had 6 Ming bring out a set of armor for a knight of war, and slightly modified it with magic, changing the patterns, colors, and shape of the armor.
When Ramanlas and Tures arrived, Lothric was so exhausted from modifying the armor that he collapsed on the ground, unable to even get up. The task of modifying the armor was then taken over by Lu Ming.
The Soul series armor is much sturdier than Puru's armor, so modifying the patterns is extremely difficult.
Watching Liu Ming painstakingly modify the design of the armor, Ramanlas pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly as if he had made up his mind.
"What's wrong?" Out of the corner of his eye, Liu Ming saw Ramanlas nod slightly and was making the last few necessary modifications to the armor. He looked up at Ramanlas.
"It's nothing. I just think you're quite good when you're serious."
"..." Ming could tell that Ramanlas was lying, but he didn't want to expose her lie because he had already guessed what Tures and Ramanlas had talked about. So he smiled and said, "Don't worry, I've got everything covered."
Upon hearing this, Ramanlas was taken aback, then seemed to understand what he was talking about, and for a moment, she was confused once again. But in the end, she chose to obey and not do anything that would put Liu Ming in an awkward position.
After a while, Liu Ming spent about three-quarters of his magic power to finally change the Conqueror Knight set into a set of jet-black armor, similar to the armor of the Dragon Hunter Ornstein, except that the helmet was not the lion head type, but a regular helmet with a mask.
"It's done. Try it on." After handing the modified armor to Mike, Liu Ming sat down to rest for a bit and catch his breath.
After taking the armor, with the help of his soldiers, Mike put on the modified armor and practiced with Toures for a bit, testing whether the armor fit properly and whether it would get in the way during intense movements and combat.
After a series of tests, the results were very satisfactory. The armor was not only stylish but also fit perfectly, without hindering movements during offense, defense, or evasion. Even Tures, after seeing it, couldn't resist asking Lu Ming and Lothric to make her a set as well.
Of course, that's impossible. Leaving aside whether Lu Ming and Lothric would be willing, simply treating these two nobles as blacksmiths is enough to make them refuse Tures outright, not to mention whether their combined magic points are sufficient to modify a suit of armor. Furthermore, if they weren't trying to test the feasibility of mass-producing that crystal armor, Lu Ming and Lothric would never have modified Mike's armor!
"This armor is quite good, at least I think it's much better than that weird-looking suit of armor!" After exchanging a few blows with Tures, Mike walked up to Lu Ming and Lothric. He tapped his armor and said to Lu Ming and Lothric with a smile.
Lothric glanced at Mike, who was wearing armor, and quickly got up from the ground. As he walked towards his tent, he said, "Then make good use of it. I'm going back to get some rest now."
“It’s getting late, let’s go rest.” Seeing this, Liu Ming also took Ramanlas’s hand and prepared to go back to rest. But before leaving, he instructed Tures and Mike: “Oh, and remember to tell the soldiers to guard their armor well, don’t let anyone secretly replace it again. Also, the same goes for you, Mike!”
"Okay, okay." Upon hearing this, Mike waved his hand impatiently, sending Liu Ming and the other man away.
But after Liu Ming and the others left, fearing another theft, he chose not to remove his armor and simply lay down on the blanket in his tent, falling into a deep sleep...
-----------------------------------
Two days later, in the early morning.
After a long period of rest, Deucalion, Euglesotus, and Mac's undead army, having dismantled and packed up their camp's tents and other supplies, began their new march. They set off for the capital of Yaru, intending to wipe out all the cultists of the Evil Spirit Church located there!
But for some reason, Pan's army remained inactive, as if it had no intention of advancing towards the capital.
However, Erebus's army didn't need the support of Yaru's army. Leaving aside their sworn enemy, [Pan], they weren't particularly willing to cooperate with other Yaru armies. Furthermore, without elite troops like [Pan], how much fighting power would the Evil Spirit Church, its corrupted armies, and the guards of local lords truly possess?
They were no match for Deucalion, Euglesotus, and Mac's army of undead!
Therefore, Liu Ming and the others did not wait for Pan's people to come out together, nor did they want to wait.
Emerging from the forest that had buried many of his brothers, the more than 5,000-strong Deucalion army marched towards the capital of Yaru, directly attacking Horus, one of the few viscountries in the Yaru Duchy with vast lakes. However, like other regions of the Yaru Duchy, Horus had little arable land; most of the area was mountains and swamps, making it impossible to cultivate farmland.
Furthermore, the followers of the Evil Spirit Church don't cultivate farmland. Busy torturing others and themselves, they've allowed over 80% of the farmland to become abandoned in just over twenty years. If it weren't for a little handicrafts and relief from other territories not yet invaded by the Evil Spirit Church, this viscountry might have been completely devastated, and its inhabitants would have long since perished. Because within the Evil Spirit Church, farming is considered wrong; it's seen as protecting life, without any sense of torture. Torturing plants, on the other hand, kills them, making farming utterly useless.
In such a place, even ordinary people cannot be fed, let alone an army.
When the combined forces of Deucalion, Euglesotus, and the Undead entered Horus, they encountered a group of emaciated people who could barely stand.
To be honest, people like Liu Ming, Lothric, and Mike, who aren't natives of Miracaissa, don't understand why so many people would follow a cult like the Evil Spirit Church, which seems so unreliable at first glance. Isn't a church like the Church of Light, which is bright, kind, and righteous, good enough? Why would they choose to follow a cult and end up like this?
However, while they didn't understand why the undead had joined the cult of evil spirits, they were utterly unaware of it. When it came to attacking these people, Lu Ming and his companions showed absolutely no mercy. Almost all the Horus soldiers who dared to obstruct the allied forces had their limbs severed by the undead and fed to Lu Ming's shadow demon. This transformed her from a little girl into a noblewoman of about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old.
However, no matter how much she grows up, she will still obediently listen to Liu Ming, and she will become more and more attached to Liu Ming.
It seems that she regards Liu Ming as a father figure.
Ramanlas was pleased with this. At least having more daughters was better than having more sisters.
In reality, Liu Ming and this Shadow Demon are indeed father and daughter. Liu Ming summoned and signed a contract with this Shadow Demon on the day she was born. This contract was not a master-servant contract, but an equal contract. The reason this Shadow Demon obeyed so obediently was because Liu Ming used her as an assistant when conducting magical experiments and taught her countless things, thus making her the absolute ruler of the Prometheus Plain in the Shadow World.
Ming's fatherly love and guidance fostered a deep bond between him and the Shadow Demon. So much so that when Kanina and Amelia first met her, they had to call her "sister." Of course, this was because they hadn't been born yet, and their birthdays were several years away...
With the Shadow Demons devouring everything, Deucalion conquered Horus in just one day.
Under these circumstances, Liu Ming and the others unanimously decided to feed all the members and believers of the evil cult of Horus to the shadow creatures, and then began to march towards Sisyphus, determined to conquer it as well.
However, Sisyphus was not like Horus, who lacked fighting power; Sisyphus still had a considerable army. Although his fighting strength was average and his numbers were small, he was still more difficult to deal with than Horus.
Unlike the barren land of Horus, Sisyphus is the place with the most magical beasts in the Duchy of Yaru. By hunting, Deucalion's soldiers can have a good meal and make some supplies such as jerky.
Moreover, including 6 Ming, Lothric, Mike, and others, Yogg-Sotus and the Undead all carried a considerable number of empty Poké Balls.
Previously, due to the tense battle and the fact that the monsters were scared away, they didn't capture any Pokémon or powerful monsters. Now that they've entered Sisyphus, where monsters abound, why don't they try to capture them?
Chapter 95 - Subjugation
"I didn't expect Sisyphus's army to be so weak. 'How boring!'" Mike complained about the weakness of Sisyphus's army as he walked through Sisyphus's forest with Lu Ming and Ramanlas.
Tures, Haimir, and Lothric, who were traveling with them, were speechless. They thought to themselves: "Your men are all undead, and their equipment is not as good as yours. They have also been corrupted by the Evil Spirit Church. It's already pretty good that we can even fight you!"
At this moment, Liu Ming, who was walking directly in front of everyone, suddenly stopped, took out the Bow of Hope, nocked an ordinary arrow on the bowstring, slowly drew back the bow, and aimed at the direction to the left front.
Seeing this, Lothric and the others also took out their bows and arrows, and cautiously moved in one direction.
But soon, Liu Ming stopped aiming and put down his bow and arrow.
"What did you just do?" Knowing that Liu Ming liked hunting, Lothric walked to Liu Ming's side and asked him, pointing to where Liu Ming was aiming.
"I don't know. But it should be some kind of predatory animal." Liu Ming shook his head, indicating that he didn't know what it was either, but from the aura of the thing just now and the sense of danger he had intuition for that moment, the thing was very dangerous.
However, the more dangerous the prey, the more it attracts the hunter's interest. This is especially true for hunters like Liu Ming who hunt year-round!
If it weren't for the fact that many of the people in the team were hunting novices, Liu Ming would definitely have gone after that animal whose nature he didn't know.
At this moment, it was early spring. Therefore, many poisonous magical beasts and insects had already emerged from their wintering caves, and Liu Ming and his companions had encountered quite a few along their journey.
Although thanks to Liu Ming's reminder, nothing serious happened to the group, but the girls were already complaining. So Liu Ming could only lead them to hunt small prey in areas without poisonous insects. However, these places generally didn't have any powerful prey or Pokémon. This frustrated Liu Ming.
Perhaps things are turning around for the better. Just when Liu Ming was worried about not encountering any good or good Pokémon, he and his group came across a pair of huge creatures confronting each other!
"Those are Leviathan and Cinnabar?!" Liu Ming was taken aback by the sight of one or two magical beasts and Pokémon locked in a standoff and attack. Both the fossilized Cinnabar and Leviathan were creatures extinct in their respective worlds!
But soon, Liu Ming and the others realized that the scaled behemoth that had already become extinct in Pulu was acting strangely. Putting aside its bizarre movements, the black gas exhaled from its mouth and nose alone indicated that it was a scaled behemoth that had long since become undead.
Therefore, Liu Ming and the others naturally had to kill it and save the Cradle Lily that it had attacked.
He took out the Bow of Hope, applied a chilling aura to several Moonlight Arrows with fine snow, and then nocked all the Frost Moon Arrows onto the bowstring, drew the bowstring taut, and aimed at the monster that was over two meters tall, with a body like a pangolin but a head like a leopard.
Holding his breath and aiming, Liu Ming seized the opportunity when the undead scaled behemoth was repelled by the Cradle Lily's energy ball and fired all of his Frost Moon Arrows!
Like a shooting star, Liu Ming's Frost Moon Arrow, illuminated by the morning sunlight, struck the head and most of the right side of the scaled beast, instantly freezing half of its body and rendering it completely immobile!
Seeing this, the Cradle Lily that had been attacked by the Scaled Beast relaxed its guard slightly. In addition, it had already suffered a serious injury, so it did not notice that Ramanlas had thrown an empty Poké Ball at it!
Hit by the Poké Ball, Cradle Lily instantly turned into a white light and was captured inside the Poké Ball. The Poké Ball shook slightly twice, then stopped with a "ding." This signified that Cradle Lily had been unexpectedly captured by Ramanlas!
"..." The Poké Ball stood there dumbfounded, and Tures and the others couldn't help but feel regretful. Why didn't they think of throwing a Poké Ball?
However, at that moment, Liu Ming also threw out a Poké Ball, aiming at the shadow of the Scaled Beast.
As a result, 6 Ming's Poké Ball actually managed to grab something from the shadow of the Scaled Giant and quickly captured it.
After the thing hidden in the shadow of the undead, scaled behemoth was put into the Poké Ball, the struggling behemoth fell silent. Clearly, the thing hiding in the shadow was the undead controlling the scaled behemoth.
“Undead rarely operate during the day, so this scaled behemoth's spirit must be controlled by something. Also, when I shot it with my Moon Arrow, there was a clear movement in its shadow, which is why I threw the Poké Ball.” Seeing the confused looks on Lothric's faces, Liu Ming explained to them. Then he used High Movement to retrieve his and Ramanlas's Poké Balls.
Seeing that Liu Ming and Ramanlas had inexplicably caught two Pokémon and were discussing their move lists and rarity, Tureston was immediately displeased. He forced Liu Ming to take her and Haimir to catch two Pokémon as well.
Helpless, Liu Ming could only lead them to continue wandering aimlessly in the forest, hoping to encounter some decent Pokémon to deal with Torres and Haimir.
As a result, they wandered around until noon and only encountered two or three fat chubby ...
Unfortunately, Toure didn't like the adorable chubby Kodama; instead, Mike, the big, burly guy, caught one. The rest were divided between Ramanlas and Haimir.
"Miss Torres, what kind of pet do you want?" Sitting by the campfire, Liu Ming asked Torres, who was tearing into the roasted meat across from him, as he roasted meat.
After wandering around for so long, Liu Ming was getting tired of it, especially since he had to search for prey while also pointing out dangerous areas to Tures and the others. That's why he directly asked Tures if he could simply use his magic to run around the forest and catch a Pokémon that met Tures's requirements for her.
Unfortunately, Toures didn't believe in superstitions and still planned to continue wandering in the forest.
Seeing that Tures was so stubborn, Liu Ming had no choice but to pray to God for a little bit of good luck for them.
After a simple lunch, Liu Ming and the others resumed their hunting activities in the forest.
