The wrong transmigrator assigned by the system

"Perhaps the nations of Aefardak and Aefardortis cannot provide timely assistance, but with the magic array blueprints left behind by His Highness Amani, we are fully capable of summoning the members of Little Londo and the Choir of the City of Sin!"

Upon hearing Bishop Morta's words, the young bishop immediately retorted, "Then what if these three parties betray us? Furthermore, they are not followers of our Evil Spirit Church. What if they refuse to obey our Evil Spirit Church's orders for the sake of their own power?"

Upon hearing the young bishop's question, Bishop Morta, far from being angry, burst into laughter, saying, "Hahahaha... Bishop Verona Kazra, your words are truly amusing! You actually asked what we should do now that they have betrayed us!"

As he spoke, Bishop Morta's expression suddenly turned extremely sinister. He smiled coldly and said, "What we need now is cannon fodder, not soldiers!"

Upon hearing this, all the bishops of the Evil Spirit Church present fell silent, secretly weighing in their minds whether it was worth it. In the end, they unanimously decided to follow Bishop Morta's idea and summon a large number of cannon fodder through summoning to buy time.

However, after these bishops of the evil cult came out of the meeting room, several bishops followed Bishop Morta. Only the bishop who, like Bishop Kazra, had some concerns about summoning cannon fodder did not join their little circle.

However, since the plan to summon cannon fodder had already been decided, these people would not try to stop or sabotage it.

For some reason, Bishop Kazra always felt uneasy, and it was this unease that led him to encounter a person, or rather, a ghost!

After leaving the meeting room, Bishop Kazra went straight to his room, intending to get a good night's sleep and be refreshed before facing tomorrow's challenges, whether good or bad.

However, as soon as he returned to his room, a dark blue, transparent man was standing there, coldly staring at him.

“My name is ‘Velo’, and I am a ghost,” the ghost said to Bishop Kazra in a cold voice.

Upon hearing this, Kazra was startled. 'Velo' was a great man who had transformed the Evil Spirit Church from a small cult more than twenty years ago. Although his death was somewhat suspicious, he was still a saint of the Evil Spirit Church. Even now, many people still worship this great man.

However, Bishop Kazra did not expect that Verol's next words would be: "I hope you will leave the Church of Evil Spirits."

"Why?" Bishop Kazra asked Lor in disbelief, unable to believe that the great man who had made the Church of Evil Spirits so powerful would say such a thing.

"The Evil Spirit Church of today is completely different from the one I knew back then. It has transformed from an organization that protected the nation from the oppression of the Church of Light and the Wolf Pack Council into a bloodsucking worm that devours the motherland. This is not what I and the forefathers of the Evil Spirit Church wanted!"

“…” Verol’s words silenced Bishop Kazra.

At this point, Veror continued, "The reason I want you to leave the Evil Spirit Church is because you're different from those old fogies who've been brainwashed by Evines! You know how to doubt, to doubt Evines and Amani, those two members of the royal family! This is very important! Because the Evil Spirit Church was turned into monsters by those two bastards!"

"But......"

“Listen, child. You have the ability to serve your country, and you should abandon the corrupt and evil cult. You shouldn't be burned to ashes with it. Deucalion Yugsotus and the Undead from the Duchy of Erebus are right outside the city, and Pan, led by the young Grand Duke, is marching here. Even if you can summon cannon fodder, what can you guarantee that they will last until the invasion of Aifa begins?”

"..."

“Child, the capital has been destroyed by fire, which is an unchangeable fact. You should leave here now and go to Karksa.”

Kazra is torn between the ghost of Lor, a great figure in the cult of evil spirits, and his own inner turmoil. Torn between the teachings of his predecessors and his decades-long faith, Kazra finds it difficult to relinquish either...

But in the end, he made up his mind...

Chapter 97 - The Battle of the Capital

Late at night, the catapults continued to bombard the capital of the Duchy of Yaru.

However, neither Lu Ming nor Lothric and the others placed their hopes for victory on these catapults.

These catapults were merely a cover for preparing their secret weapons. Otherwise, if they were just preparing secret weapons without attacking the capital, even a fool would have noticed their conspiracy.

Therefore, as long as these catapults continue to attack the capital, they can create the illusion that Deucalion's cavalry are not good at attacking cities and can only rely on catapults, thus making the people of the evil cult lower their guard.

In reality, they were preparing a weapon capable of piercing through the capital of the Yaru Kingdom with a single strike.

As long as the city walls can be destroyed and the cavalry can be driven into the city, those members of the evil cult will be nothing more than meat on a chopping board!

And this secret weapon is a magic cannon that can highly compress magical energy!

With this cannon, Lu Ming and his men will be able to breach the walls of the capital of the Duchy of Yaru, allowing their cavalry to storm inside. At that point, the Evil Spirit Church and its ragtag armies will have no chance against Deucalion's heavy cavalry.

Once the cavalrymen storm into the city, they will slaughter the cultists of the Evil Spirit Church with overwhelming force, like a red-hot knife being plunged into butter.

Standing on either side of the cannon, Lu Ming and Lothric directed the logistics soldiers to build the magic cannon.

Since arriving here at noon, the production of the magic cannon has never stopped, not even for meals or bathroom breaks. This applies to everyone, from the logistics soldiers building the cannon to Lu Ming and Lothric!

As sunrise approached, the magic cannon was finally completed.

After the magic cannon was completed, Lu Ming and the others ate a little something and then eagerly took the magic cannon they had built to the front line to accumulate energy and give the Evil Spirit Church a huge surprise.

However, at that moment, Yugluna suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

Wearing the chainmail armor of the Undead Legion, she kicked the magic cannon that Lu Ming and the others had spent over ten hours building and asked, "Are you planning to use this piece of junk to break through the capital's impregnable walls?"

Lu Ming didn't answer her question. He looked around the camp and noticed that his camp had somehow doubled in size, muttering to himself, "Did [Pan] arrive in time?"

"What, are you afraid we'll steal your credit?" Yugluna teased Lu Ming as he looked at the camp, which had grown much larger since Pan's arrival, and seemed to be deep in thought.

However, Lu Ming sneered and said, "Ha! Civil war, where do you get military merits?"

After saying that, Lu Ming and Lothric directed the logistics soldiers within the Deucalion Cavalry Regiment to set up the magic cannons and prepare for the attack.

Seeing this, Yugluna paused for a moment, then instructed her adjutant to summon Pan and the undead legion allied with Pan. The plan was for them to be the first to storm the capital and wipe out all members of the Evil Spirit Church after the walls were breached.

Of course, if the cannons prepared by Lu Ming and Lothric fail to breach the city walls, then they can simply laugh at the people of the Duchy of Erebus.

With Pan's gathering, Deucalion also gathered. After all, they didn't want Pan, rather than themselves, to be the first to storm into the capital after their own magical cannons breached the city walls.

Besides, Torres is holding a grudge because she was looked down upon by Yugluna before! If she can't be the first to charge and lead Deucalion's knights into the capital, she might be ridiculed by Yugluna and the other duchy's generals for the rest of her life!

Mounted on horseback, Tures and Ramanlas began to mobilize the soldiers while Lu Ming and Lothric charged up the magic cannon.

"Warriors of Erebus! The evil cult of Yaru has dared to challenge our duchy. As valiant Erebus, what should we do?!" Torres shouted at the front of the Deucalion knights as he rode his horse at full gallop.

"Destroy it!!" the knights responded.

"Yes! We should utterly destroy it! Destroy that evil cult that dares to provoke our Duchy of Erebus!!" Roaring, Tures pointed his sword at the capital of Yaru and shouted, "Now is the time for us to destroy the evil cult!!"

As if in response to Tures's words, Lu Ming and Lothric activated the magic cannon.

With the support of hundreds and thousands of magic circles of all sizes, the magic cannon draws in a large number of free magic particles from the air and the ground into the energy core crystal inside the cannon, where they are compressed at a high intensity.

Even in this stage alone, the light and excess magic power emitted by the magic cannon were already exceptionally astonishing.

The next moment, the magic cannon roared and fired its magic projectile straight at the city wall.

To everyone's astonishment—Deucalion, Pan, the Undead, and the members of the evil cult in the capital—the magic cannonball struck the city wall protected by a magic circle. Instantly, a blue shield resembling a honeycomb structure appeared on the wall.

As he watched the amber-colored liquid magic projectiles gradually erode the blue honeycomb shield and slowly approach the city wall, Lu Ming turned around, mounted his warhorse, and waited for the moment to charge.

On horseback nearby, amidst the deafening roar of the magic cannonballs and the honeycomb shield locked in a stalemate, Ramanlas heard Lu Ming's laughter: "This is how the world is destroyed..."

Before Ramanlas could react, the distant magic projectiles and honeycomb shields changed color, turning crimson. Finally, a violent explosion occurred right before everyone's eyes!

The shockwave swept in instantly, blinding Deucalion and Pan's soldiers. Their warhorses neighed in fear, and two unfortunate soldiers were even blown off their horses by the shockwave, landing on top of two of Pan's soldiers!

The situation is the same for Deucalion and Pan, which are nearly two kilometers away from the capital; it goes without saying that it is even more so for the capital.

When the smoke and dust cleared, everyone discovered that the city wall on this side of the capital had been completely destroyed!

Although the makeshift magic cannon turned into a piece of highly molten scrap metal after only one firing because it couldn't withstand the power of the high-pressure magic projectile, that was enough.

"All troops, attack!!" "All troops, charge!!" Seeing that a large section of the city wall had been completely destroyed, Yugluna and Tures immediately gave the orders.

In an instant, Deucalion and Pan launched their charge towards the capital. However, their undead allies did not rush into a charge, but instead chose to advance steadily towards the capital.

However, to everyone's surprise, the most outstanding soldiers charging into battle were not Deucalion's knights, but Yugusotus, who had only one hundred men left.

Led by Lu Ming, Ramanlas, Lothric, Hawkwood, and others, this light cavalry unit charged at the forefront of the army and was the first to break into the capital.

And so, they naturally became the first to confront the members of the evil cult.

However, relying on their sharp blades, the members of the Evil Spirit Church and their ragtag army could not stop Yugsotus in the slightest. On the contrary, when they tried to stop Lu Ming and his group from entering the city, they were cut down by Lu Ming and his group with a single sword strike!

A pristine white holy staff, crimson eyes, and a deep blue soul-slaying longsword—Lu Ming rode alone through the crowd, leaving a trail of crimson in his wake. Countless people fell, struck by the sharpness of the Farron Swift Sword, slowly losing their breath in pools of blood.

Unlike Lu Ming, a mad mage who wielded the Aries Staff and the Farron Rapier as swords and spears, Hawkwood and the others used physical weapons such as the Farron Greatsword, the Lothric Knightsword, and the Blue Mage Straight Sword.

They couldn't possibly be as crazy as Lu Ming, using magic wands or holy staffs as swords and spears.

However, although they couldn't do what Lu Ming did, they still killed quite a few members of the Evil Spirit Church.

Wherever they went, they would leave behind a large number of corpses of members of the Evil Spirit Church, so even if they weren't as crazy as Lu Ming, not many members of the Evil Spirit Church dared to fight them.

But at that moment, several humanoid monsters with tentacles on their heads, dressed in clothes that clearly did not belong to the natives of Puru, suddenly rushed out from among the followers of the Evil Spirit Church. They pulled two of Ramanas's insectoid guards off their horses, pierced their heads with their tentacles, and sucked out their brains!

Upon seeing this, Ramanlas and the others were immediately startled. They had never seen such a monster before, and for a moment, they didn't know what to do.

When Lu Ming saw this scene, he didn't say a word and fired more than a dozen soul spears in a row, killing all those brain-absorbing monsters.

He then rode his horse to Ramanlas's side and shouted to everyone in Yogg-Sotus, "Everyone, don't scatter! Stay as close to your comrades as possible! Those monsters are not easy to deal with!!"

At this moment, Deucalion, who had already stormed into the capital's walls, and the commanders of [Pan], Torres and Yugluna, also heard his shout. Although they didn't know what had happened, the two of them chose to give the same order to their soldiers. This was because they had heard Lu Ming mention the word 'monster'.

Monster, regardless of location, is a derogatory term, meaning something or someone completely different from normal things. It can also be used to refer to strange people or some kind of terrifying creature.

The 'monster' that Lu Ming is referring to now should be the latter.

Terrifying and bizarre creatures have appeared in the capital of Yaru, and this ominous news has caused panic among Pan's soldiers. Although they are attacking the capital, their goal is to purify the city, freeing it and its uncorrupted inhabitants from the clutches of the Evil Spirit Church, and incidentally, to completely destroy this evil cult.

But those monsters are different.

They may have signed a pact with the evil cult, promising not to harm its members. However, given the evil cult's selfish and indifferent nature, disregarding the lives of ordinary people, they would never protect them. They might even use the people to feed the monsters, preventing the monsters from eating them.

The thought that his relatives and friends in the capital might have been brutally killed by monsters filled Pan's soldiers with shock and rage. They roared and charged toward the headquarters of the Evil Spirit Church, wanting to feed all those bastards of the Evil Spirit Church to the shadow creatures!

Seeing this, Yugluna naturally said nothing. After all, her husband and children were also in the capital. If the Church of the Evil Spirits really did use those who didn't believe in its doctrines to feed monsters, her family would be among them...

Perhaps seeing the high morale of Pan's soldiers, and that the members of the Church of the Evil Spirits and their ragtag army had stormed into the capital with both Pan's soldiers and Deucalion, they immediately chose to retreat and prepare to return to defend the Grand Ducal Palace where the bishops of the Church of the Evil Spirits were now residing.

The people who replaced them and fought against Lu Ming and the others were a large group of blue-skinned aliens.

"They're apostles of the Old Gods, and they're very aggressive! Also, watch out for those with tentacles on their heads; they can use magic!" Upon seeing this large group of big-headed Smurfs, Lu Ming immediately shouted to the others, wanting to warn them to prevent any trouble.

However, to be honest, these Smurfs weren't particularly formidable enemies for Deucalion and Pan. Aside from their strength and the magic of their tentacled forms, these Smurfs posed far less of a threat than a ragtag army.

However, there are always exceptions, and these Smurfs are no exception either!

Just as Deucalion's heavy cavalry and Pan's heavily armored shield infantry were slaughtering these disgusting Smurfs, suddenly, with a loud bang, several enormous Smurfs appeared from among the Smurfs, slapping many soldiers away!

Seeing soldiers being swatted away by the suddenly enlarged Smurfs, Lu Ming, Lothric, and Yog Luna immediately launched an attack on the Smurfs.

The spells like Soul Spear and Light Spear were unleashed on the giant Smurfs as if they were free, forcing the giant Smurfs, who had decent magic resistance, to retreat step by step. In the end, the giant Smurfs were pierced through the head by Soul Spear and Light Spear and died.

As for Yugluna, her performance can almost be described as unleashing a devastating attack.

Unlike Lu Ming and Lothric, who were both mages, Yogg-Roh didn't possess any magical attacks. Therefore, her approach was to wield the Farron Greatsword and charge into the Smurf horde, wreaking havoc. The Smurfs were too slender to withstand the Farron Greatsword in Yogg-Roh's hands.

Almost every time Yogluna swung her sword and slashed, several Smurfs would die at her hands, and even the giant Smurfs couldn't withstand her powerful attacks.

Seeing this, Lu Ming and Lothric exchanged a glance and nodded slightly. Then, they each unleashed their respective area-of-effect spells.

One unleashed a barrage of enhanced flange arrows, while the other released dozens of light-point missiles.

Under the pale blue soul arrows, a large number of Smurfs were pierced through their bodies, followed by dozens of glowing missiles, which wiped out another large number of them.
