The wrong transmigrator assigned by the system

However, whether it was due to Liu Ming's prayers or not, after traveling for just over two hours, they encountered quite a few wild deer and wild boars. Their largest prey was a wild boar over two meters tall!

“These wild boars are enough for our soldiers to have a good meat soup. If the others also have a good haul, we shouldn’t lack meat for the next few days.” After forcefully pulling the Moonlight Arrow from the boar’s head and wiping away the blood and brain matter with a rag, Liu Ming put the Moonlight Arrow away and turned to Tures and the others.

Tures kicked the dead wild boar on the ground and laughed, "Indeed, if there were enough of these wild boars, we wouldn't need to keep eating dry rations."

Then, Lothric walked over, pointed to a grove of trees not far away, and said to the two of them, "There's a stream over there, and there are fish in it."

"And then?" Turesslick asked.

“Those fish are a bit strange,” Lothric added.

Upon hearing this, Liu Ming and Tures immediately followed Lothric through the thicket and arrived at the riverbank that Lothric had mentioned.

As a result, they found a large group of fish here that looked like piranhas.

The fish had a red belly, a bluish-black back, yellow fins, and yellow five-pointed star patterns on its belly. Liu Ming murmured in confusion, "A piranha with sharp teeth?"

The sharp-toothed fish are ferocious, and groups of them can even attack boats. Therefore, Liu Ming felt it was best to keep a respectful distance from these fish that were frolicking and swimming away in the stream.

Unfortunately, just as he was about to remind Torres and the others, he discovered that Torres had somehow managed to forcibly pull three sharp-toothed fish out of the river using a makeshift fishing net made of vines!

One scene nearly scared Liu Ming to death!

Even though they're carnivorous, what if you fall in?!

Startled, Liu Ming grabbed Tures by the back of her collar, pulled her aside, and scolded her like a child.

At this moment, Lothric and Haimir seized the opportunity and captured two sharp-toothed fish first, leaving the weakest one for Tures.

Now, Mike was a bit confused. He used a branch to throw the weakest fangfish back into the river, and then used the meatless front part of the roasted deer leg left over from lunch as bait to catch a stronger and more powerful fangfish than the others. He put it in a Poké Ball and threw it to Tures, who had been scolded by Liu Ming.

"Thank you..." After catching the Poké Ball, Torres thanked Mike, a rare occurrence for her, showing a girl's shyness for the first time.

Before anyone could say anything, a Deucalion knight rode up on horseback and shouted to Liu Ming and the others, "General, we have captured quite a few wild boars and deer, and everyone is currently roasting jerky. In addition, the team led by the centurion Ettic has captured some strange magical beasts, and we hope that Viscount Liu Ming will go and help them."

Upon hearing this, Liu Ming could no longer reprimand Tures, so he led everyone away and back to the camp.

Before leaving, however, Lu Ming and Lothric used magic to catch two decent-looking fanged fish from the stream, demonstrating to Tures and Mike the correct and safe way to catch them. These two fanged fish were then awarded by Lu Ming and Lothric to the knight in their party who had hunted the most wild boars and deer.

Upon returning to camp, Liu Ming and his men were greeted by the aroma of smoked meat. A closer look revealed that the soldiers were processing most of the wild boar and deer meat into dried smoked meat, making it easier to carry and store. Furthermore, many of the undead soldiers under Mike's command possessed Blue Cult cell phones with only a pack compartment function, ensuring that these wild boars and deer could provide the Deucalion coalition with meat for a very, very long time.

Bypassing the soldiers who were grilling meat, Liu Ming and his group arrived at the place where the allied forces tethered their horses. There, they found seven or eight large cats with black manes, blue limbs, rumps, and faces, and a four-pointed star at the end of their tails, looking like lions.

"Are these Röntgen cats?" Liu Ming immediately recognized what the seventy-eight large cats were.

"Röntgen cats? These lions are cats?" Upon hearing Liu Ming's words, Tures, who originally wanted a Röntgen cat, was slightly surprised and couldn't help but ask.

With a faint look in his eyes, Lu Ming explained, "The Röntgen Cat, also known as the Thunder Lion, Röntgen Tiger, or Thunder Lion, is an electric cat. It is omnivorous, highly aggressive, and skilled in physical attacks. As for whether the Röntgen Cat is a lion, a cat, or a tiger, that's a matter of opinion."

"If that's the case, you guys don't have any objections if I catch one, right?" After listening to Liu Ming's words, Tures took out an empty Poké Ball and asked Liu Ming and the others.

Tures, along with those few Röntgen cats, said with a malicious smile, "Please go ahead."

Upon hearing this, Toures immediately walked towards the Röntgen cats.

However, she had only taken one step when she turned back, grabbed Ramanlas, and wanted Ramanlas to go with her to subdue the Röntgen cats.

Seeing this, Liu Ming had no choice but to lend his Noisy Dragon to Tures to defeat the Xeno'jiiva and then capture it. After all, the Xeno'jiiva wasn't some sharp-toothed fish that couldn't survive out of water; its combat power was quite high!

Seeing that Ming indeed dared not let Ramanlas approach the Roentgen Cats, Tures, with the Sonic Dragon and a smug smile on his face, walked step by step toward the Roentgen Cats.

As a result, even with the help of Noivern, Tures still struggled to win. In the end, without 6 Ming's help and command, even Noivern might have been severely injured by Luxray's Ice Fang.

"Noivern, fly! Use Sonic Wave!!"

With a command from Liu Ming, Noisy Dragon suddenly flew to a height beyond the reach of Luxray and unleashed a terrifying sonic boom towards the ground, instantly stunning all the Luxrays.

Even Toures, who was quite close to the Röntgen cat, was affected...

Getting up from the ground, Tures shook his head to clear his head. Then, he threw the empty Poké Ball at a smaller, unconscious female Xeno'jiiva. Instantly, both Xeno'jiiva were captured and put into the Poké Ball.

Tures was a little stunned when he saw the two Poké Balls on the screen, thinking to himself that he had only thrown one Poké Ball.

Just as she was wondering what was going on, Lu Ming's Shadow Demon suddenly appeared out of nowhere, picked up the Poké Ball that didn't belong to Tures, and hopped over to Lu Ming and Ramanlas, smiling happily.

Picking up his Poké Ball, before the Xeno'jiivas woke up, Tures returned to Ming and the others. Somewhat curious about Ming's Shadow Demon, he asked Ming, "Aren't you going to return your Shadow Demon Poké Ball?"

6 Ming smiled slightly and said, "I've raised her like a daughter, why can't I give her a Poké Ball?"

As if echoing Liu Ming's words, the shadow demon, dressed in a gorgeous dress, suddenly hugged Liu Ming and Ramanlas, as if to say, "I am their child."

Seeing this, Toure sighed speechlessly and said, "Whatever..."

Chapter 96 - The Battle of the Capital (Part 1)

After several days of marching, the Deucalion coalition arrived outside the capital of the Duchy of Arru.

Standing on the city wall, the Deucalion coalition forces outside were building camps and constructing siege weapons, causing several bishops of the Church of Evil Spirits to panic.

At this moment, they no longer had any hostages to command Pan, and the city's army was insufficient to resist Deucalion.

If they were to abandon the capital and flee in a direction away from Deucalion's allies, they would face Tartarus and Styx's armies head-on. It was a dilemma: fleeing was not an option, nor was staying.

This dilemma plunged the Church of the Evil Spirits into chaos, splitting it into two factions. One faction advocated holding the capital, relying on the city walls protected by magical arrays to resist the Deucalion coalition. Moreover, the Deucalion coalition was mostly heavy cavalry, not skilled in siege warfare. The roughly seven thousand ragtag troops in the capital were enough to hold off the Deucalion coalition until the invasion of the Aifar Empire. If they could just stall until then, the three duchies of Erebosta, Taras, and Styx would naturally withdraw their troops.

The other faction argued that the group should be divided into dozens of squads and flee in all directions from the capital. This dispersed strategy would use a small group as bait, while the majority escaped to Karkssa. Even if some were killed, the cult of evil would survive, allowing it to rise again in Karkssa.

Although most of the followers of the Evil Spirit Church chose the latter option—to escape and use their positions as bait to draw the fire of the Deucalion coalition—the bishops of the Evil Spirit Church ultimately chose the former, with the majority of them opting to stay and fight against the Deucalion coalition.

To this end, they even mobilized a ragtag army from the capital, instructing them to refrain from self-harm based on the doctrines of the evil cult in the coming days, in preparation for the upcoming battle.

Some of the soldiers developed doubts about the evil cult because of this order.

Because self-harm and torment of others are the doctrines of the evil church, and now you want us believers to abandon our doctrines and fight for you just so you can survive? What gives you the right? The Church of Light has never made its believers abandon their doctrines, even on the battlefield.

Clearly, these so-called believers have not distinguished between a legitimate church and the cult they believe in.

Regardless, the first battle to defend the city began at dusk.

The total number of Deucalion's allied forces outside the city was over five thousand, while their own forces inside the city numbered seven thousand. Although these seven thousand were a motley crew and could not compare to the Pan who had previously inflicted heavy losses on Deucalion's allied forces, they were still quite confident in this battle, relying on the sturdy city walls, countless arrows, and things like boiling oil.

"Everyone, get your bows and arrows ready!" "Priest, get ready!" "Logistics, hurry and bring the arrows over!"

Hearing the shouts and commotion from several low-ranking soldiers, the ragtag army, now followers of the evil cult Church of Evil Spirits, immediately sprang into action, drawing their bows and preparing to give the Deucalion coalition, which was preparing to attack the city, a lesson that was neither too big nor too small.

However, the Deucalion coalition did something very strange. Before the battle, the Deucalion coalition sent out about a hundred men to shake something outside the range of their bows and arrows.

Seeing this, the cultists and ragtag army of the Evil Spirit Church looked at each other in bewilderment, wondering what Deucalion was doing.

Many people were still discussing what the Deucalion coalition was doing.

What exactly are they doing?

"Perhaps it was a prayer?"

"Pray to their god of light?"

"I don't know. But I'm praying."

"Should we pray too?"

"Fool! The God we believe in will not answer our prayers! Our God only grants us strength when we torment others or abuse ourselves!"

"Stop arguing, you lot! Those guys from Kairi-on's side!"

"God! Is that the Gun of Light?"

Just as those ragtag soldiers were talking, the hundred or so soldiers of the Deucalion coalition suddenly found themselves holding javelins that emitted a strong white light.

While the ragtag army and members of the evil cult were still reeling from the sight of the spears of light, the Deucalion coalition hurled spears of light in their direction...

"not good!"

"Get cover!"

"Run!"

As the spear of light was thrown, the ragtag army and the members of the evil cult descended into chaos.

The city walls were protected by a magic circle, but they weren't.

So when the Deucalion allies hurled their spears of light, a force called 'survival' kept whispering in their ears: 'Live on...'

This army was already in disarray when the Deucalion coalition first unleashed its spear of light.

Compared to these people, the Deucalion Alliance members appeared very calm. Before the first salvo of the Light Spears had even landed, the second salvo of the Light Spears was already thrown by them!

The spear of light fell from the sky, landing directly on the heads of these ragtag soldiers without warning, instantly killing many of them.

Many people were blown apart after being hit by the Light Gun. Fragments of flesh, blood, brain matter, and internal organs were scattered everywhere. Even worse, many ragtag soldiers watched helplessly as fleeing soldiers were caught in the blast wave of the Light Gun. After their heads were blown off, they ran for more than ten meters before collapsing heavily and dying completely.

Although such an attack was nothing to the ragtag army and the evil cult itself, it severely damaged their morale.

It could be said that even if the priests of the Deucalion alliance exhausted their spiritual energy, they still couldn't kill everyone on the city walls. However, the Deucalion alliance could use those priests to demoralize the Deucalion forces. Moreover, at this moment, many sections of the city walls were already in disarray. If the Deucalion alliance were to launch a full-scale attack at this point, it would be extremely devastating for the Church of the Evil Spirits!

However, for the Deucalion coalition, using cavalry to besiege a city would be extremely foolish. Therefore, the Deucalion coalition did not launch an attack at this opportune moment, but instead chose to continue firing a few more volleys of spears of light before switching to the catapults.

The catapults of the Deucalion coalition did not launch large, single stones, but rather numerous small stones.

This would allow the catapults to cause zero damage to the city walls, but would still inflict heavy casualties on the members of the evil spirit church and the ragtag army that obeyed the evil spirit church.

It can be said that from the start of the battle until now, the Deucalion coalition has not lost a single person!

Meanwhile, people keep dying at the evil cult!

Knowing that this couldn't go on, the Church of Evil sent several suicide squads to forcibly destroy the catapults of the Deucalion coalition.

Unfortunately, the Church of Evil Spirits' suicide squad didn't even get close to the catapults before being wiped out by the knights of the Deucalion coalition.

Left with no other option, the members of the Evil Spirit Church could only provide the soldiers on the city wall with the specially made large shields that Pan had not taken with him, so that they could rely on them to hold on and prepare for the next battle.

However, this action displeased many members of the evil cult. They argued that their large shields were for self-defense and shouldn't be given to these worthless ragtag troops.

As a result, the Church of Evil Spirits almost erupted into internal strife, causing the bishops a great deal of trouble.

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

Sitting in the conference room of the Grand Duke's mansion, which was originally the Duchy of Yaru, the bishops of the Evil Spirit Church were having a meeting, discussing how to stall for time until early summer, when the Aifa Empire invaded Miracaissa, so that the Deucalion coalition would retreat without a fight.

"Fellow citizens! Our Church of Evil Spirits is now facing the crisis of destruction. Therefore, I, Marca Aztezi, the Archbishop of the Church of Evil Spirits, implore you all to temporarily set aside your prejudices against each other and work together to come up with a solution for the future of the entire Church of Evil Spirits!" Marca, the Archbishop of the Church of Evil Spirits, addressed all the bishops of the Church of Evil Spirits present, sitting in the seat that should have been the ducal seat.

As soon as he finished speaking, one of the bishops, a masked bishop, stood up and addressed everyone: "I believe you are all aware of the current situation. Our Church of Evil Spirits' headquarters is located in this city, so we absolutely cannot abandon it. However, relying solely on ordinary troops is simply insufficient to withstand the fierce attack from the Erebus forces. Therefore, I, Tertiz Morta, believe that we need reinforcements to defend this city!"

"So, does Bishop Morta have any good allies?" Some of the bishops in the Church of Evil Spirits were curious about the previous bishop.

Bishop Morta proudly raised his head and laughed, "Before the Erebus army arrived, I had already sent people to contact several forces willing to help us. In addition to Aifa, Dark Aifa, and the dark dwarf nation of Tortis on this continent, there are also people from other continents or other worlds, such as the Choir of the Sinful City of Little Londo, who are willing to support us."

Upon hearing this, the only young man among the bishops stood up and said to Bishop Morta, "Putting aside whether these forces have ulterior motives, the fact that they cannot support us is enough for us to abandon them!"
