The wrong transmigrator assigned by the system

Chapter 103 - Prelude

After resting for a day in Agamemnon, Lu Ming and Ramanlas returned to Odysseus's territory.

“Honey, I’m home.” As soon as he got home, Lu Ming hugged Lily and Sham tightly.

"Welcome back, darling." Upon seeing him return, Lily, Sham, and the others immediately hugged Lu Ming, causing Ramanlas, who had been by Lu Ming's side, to also hug him.

After saying a few words and greeting everyone, Lu Ming sat down in the study with Ramanlas and talked about some things that happened in Yalu. Of course, he kept quiet about anything dangerous.

They chatted until almost afternoon, then Jack and the others left the study, leaving Lu Ming and Sham alone for a while.

At this point, Lu Ming also revealed some things that he couldn't say in front of the children and his friends. For example, Ramanlas's disobedience and Tures's undermining of his authority, the dungeon [National Library], and the matter of Falcels.

"So she still didn't listen to us?" After listening to Lu Ming's account and Ramanlas's own account, Sham glanced at Ramanlas with a helpless expression and sighed. Fortunately, the Empress did not execute Ramanlas directly, thus avoiding any negative impact on Odysseus's future plans.

However, when the two Lilies and Sham heard that Lu Ming had slain two dragons, they couldn't help but turn their gazes toward Lu Ming.

In Puru, for a warrior to advance to the sixth rank, not only does the warrior need to work hard and have talent, but also needs to use the blood of a dragon to strengthen their body so that they can withstand the use of the maximum power of their own qi and not be crushed by their own qi!

However, dragon blood is not something to be used casually. If one's rank is insufficient or one's intentions are impure, one may resonate with the dragon blood and become a half-human, half-dragon monster like Eveness or Falcears.

Startled by his wives' burning gazes, Lu Ming quickly pulled out several small glass vials containing dragon blood from his phone, saying, "This is the blood of the White Dragon Seath. I collected some of Seath's blood after defeating him. But let me make this clear first, I don't know if the ancient dragons we're talking about are the same as the giant dragons Miracath is referring to, so I don't know if this will affect your future advancement..."

Before Lu Ming could finish speaking, Yorshka took a bottle of Hiss's blood from Sham, uncorked it, smelled it, and then gulped it down!

Upon seeing this, Lu Ming and the others were immediately shocked. They rushed over, grabbed her, and began to check if she had any adverse reactions. However, they found that she did not have any adverse reactions. In fact, her scales had not grown back. Instead, several dragon scales on the back of her neck had fallen off, revealing smooth, fair skin.

This caught Lu Ming and the others somewhat off guard.

No matter what Yorshka said, Lu Ming wouldn't allow her to act recklessly like this anymore!

"Don't worry, I'm fine. You guys are making a mountain out of a molehill!" Yulshka, who was being held tightly by Lu Ming while Sham and the others checked her body, couldn't help but laugh at their anxious expressions.

"You're still laughing! Do you know how scared we were!" Seeing that Yorshka was alright, Lu Ming breathed a sigh of relief. However, Yorshka's incomprehension of their tension annoyed him greatly, so he smacked her head hard with his forehead, making her cry out in pain!

"It hurts so much!! My head! My head! My head..."

Seeing Yorshka struggling in Lu Ming's arms, Sham and the others sighed helplessly. Then Chimera reached out and rubbed the spot where Yorshka had been hit.

However, Lu Ming also took the opportunity to lick Chimera's finger, making her face turn red instantly.

Seeing this, Sham whispered a few words in Lu Ming's ear, making Lu Ming laugh out loud. He then carried Yorshka and the others back to his room to make love...

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

The commotion didn't stop until late afternoon.

After leaving his room, Lu Ming went to the dining room and, surrounded by his wives, sat down at his seat to have dinner.

But at that moment, an uninvited guest arrived at Lu Ming's residence.

"I'm sorry to bother you at this time, but it would be better if you knew about this!" The uninvited guest said as soon as he saw Lu Ming.

Upon hearing this, Lu Ming knew something was wrong and hurriedly said, "Tell me! What happened?"

"Your Excellency, according to reliable sources, we have discovered that the invasion of Aifa will take place a month earlier than planned!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Ming frowned and said, "What do you mean? We only have about two months left?"

"Yes, Your Excellency!"

Frowning, Lu Ming pondered a solution, his fingers unconsciously tapping lightly on the table.

Each strike made the uninvited guest's heart skip a beat.

After a long while, Lu Ming asked the man, "Tartarus should have already started setting up defenses... Has Deucalion's forces been replenished?"

"Your Excellency, whether Deucalion's ranks have been replenished is beyond the knowledge of a lowly messenger like myself. However, judging from the conscription efforts in various regions, it seems that they have not yet been replenished."

"Alright, I understand. You may leave!" After subtly observing the uninvited guest, Lu Ming then dismissed him.

After the man was seen off by the servants, Lu Ming couldn't help but sneer and said, "The Aifa Empire, ha!!"

Sham and the others didn't know why Lu Ming was laughing, but they knew that he already had a plan in mind, a plan that he had prepared a year ago.

“Sham, let’s go down to Hector in a few days! Muka and the children said the elders are planning something, and I’m worried they might do something.” For some reason, Lu Ming suddenly said to Sham.

Sham looked at Lu Ming, wondering why Lu Ming would make this suggestion, but the next second he saw a subtle gesture between Ramanlas and Lily, and immediately knew that this was a cover-up, so he nodded and said, "Okay! I haven't been back in a long time either."

Sham is a member of the Hatu family, and Hector territory is Hatu family land. This trip back can be considered a return to her maternal home. However, her husband Lu Ming will not be the only one going back with her; Yoursika and a few others will also be going. Only the two Lilies will stay behind to take care of the children and manage the entire territory.

Of course, they won't be able to stay in Hector for many days this time, at most half a month, since there are still a lot of things waiting for Lu Ming and Sham to deal with in the territory!

Two days later, in a mansion next to the lord's palace in the city of Astyanax in Hector, the elders of the Hattu family were plotting a coup.

The nobles of Erebus now know that the invasion of the Aifa Empire will be brought forward by a month, and they are basically preparing for it. So at this time, not many nobles have the time or energy to deal with this small coup!

The alliance between Hector and Odysseus allowed Hector to develop rapidly, and even Asteranax, which was just a small city, had become one of the most important cities in Erebus.

This rapid development naturally led to a gap in management, splitting into two factions. One side was the younger faction led by Lord Muka, who advocated for even faster and better development to make Hector rich and truly become the third Erebus, rather than a broken territory with only a name and nothing in reality.

The other faction consisted of the elders of the Hatu family and a group of old nobles who couldn't keep up with the overall development of Erebus. While others were focused on development, they were preoccupied with consolidating their power, even attempting to seize power from other nobles and turn them into their puppets!

This is exactly what the elders of the Hatu family did.

Because Muka was still young, although he was the lord of Hector, many decisions required family consultation. This gave the elders an opportunity to undermine Muka's power.

By constantly rejecting Muka's own proposals and decisions, they made most of the nobles realize that they were the true rulers of Hector, thus gaining far more power than Muka, the lord.

This leads to a situation where, sometimes, even if their decisions are rejected by Muka, they are still implemented!

But gradually, things changed. Two things did not go as they wished; instead, they developed in the direction they least wanted to see.

One issue was the engagement between Muka and the Swicace family, and the other was that Muka secretly signed a contract with a team of workers from Odysseus's territory to destroy and rebuild the slums of Asteranax.

These two matters involved diplomacy, and any action on either side would have far-reaching consequences. They couldn't force Mka to break the agreement, as doing so would put Hector and the Hatu family in a very dangerous situation. So, they had no choice but to remain silent.

However, their silence led some nobles to mistakenly believe that Muka had regained some power, and they began to side with Muka. This was something the elders could not tolerate, so they decided to assassinate Muka and seize control of the Hector territory back to their branch.

Like most noble families, the Hatu family has many branches, but the branch that currently serves as a viscount lord is weak. This has given the branches an opportunity to acquire territory, thus fueling their growing ambitions!

Sitting inside the mansion, the elders were discussing everything that needed to be prepared for the coup.

“Tomorrow, that brat Muka is going to inspect the army's training in the territory. I think we can ambush him on the way, then pin the crime on the army commander, and kill him as quickly as possible to put an end to this!”

"This is a good idea. Even if Sham and Mushu investigate afterwards, we can use this as an excuse!"

"But what about Kurakdes Lu? That Lu Ming guy is not easy to deal with! He dared to go against the Grand Duke back then!"

"Kurakdes is indeed a problem. Putting aside the fact that he is quite strong, if something happens to him, it will provoke Lu Ming, that radical wolf... We really have no way to deal with him right now."

"uncertain!"

"Oh? Dudes, do you have any brilliant ideas?"

"I think we can first send someone to assassinate that brat Muka's mother. After she sees the assassin and is frightened, we can pretend the assassination failed and retreat. That way, Muka will have no choice but to send Kurakdes to protect his mother, and we'll have a chance to assassinate Muka without provoking Kurakdes and Lu Ming!"

Upon hearing this, almost all the elders, with the exception of a few, agreed with Dudes's statement and prepared to begin doing so.

The few elders who disagreed watched silently as they prepared for the assassination, hoping it would succeed and that they were just overthinking things.

Under intense planning, Dudes's rudimentary idea was quickly refined, with each step being redesigned.

Furthermore, this assassin was selected by them from a large group of family-trained assassins, and they were prepared to carry out a feigned assassination!

But at this moment, the elders who thought the plan was not very reliable suddenly had a premonition that the operation might fail!

Although it was just a vague premonition, they were very uneasy, yet they couldn't think of anything that could possibly go wrong...

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

While the elders were preparing to take action, Muka was in the office with Kurakdes, discussing with several younger nobles how to wrest power back from the elders and the older nobles who couldn't keep up with the pace of Erebus's overall development.

"It's time for us to wipe them out in one fell swoop! Gentlemen, tomorrow we'll be wresting our power back from those guys, so we can't afford to make any mistakes! Understand?!"

"Yes, Your Excellency!"

"Very good!" Hearing the young nobles' reply, Muka nodded with a smile, and then said, "We'll start the operation first thing tomorrow morning. You need to prepare everything you need as soon as possible!"

"Please rest assured, we have already prepared everything. We have flintlock muskets, (hunter's) longswords, and all sorts of alchemical potions. We even have enough magical masks to conceal our true identities!"

Upon hearing this, Muka continued, "Our Kingdom of Miracaissa is about to be invaded by the Aifa Empire, and those old bastards have made no preparations whatsoever for this. They even want us to give up resistance and drag the entire Erebus down! We must show them with our actions that we will not collude with them. We are the nobles of Erebus and Miracaissa, and we will never hand over our future to the Aifa Empire for a little bit of petty gain!"

“That’s right, we are the nobles of Erebus and Miracaissa, and we will never entrust the future of our territory to the Aifa Empire!”

Yes, just as the elders were preparing for a coup, Muka and others were also preparing to overthrow their oppression.

No one wants to be restricted by others, so both sides were prepared to kill each other... (To be continued.)

Chapter 1 - Eliminating Hidden Dangers

Lu Ming, along with Sham, Yorshka, Ramanas, and Chimera, arrived at the city of Astianax in the territory of Hector. Accompanying them were twenty knights from the lord's guard and twelve female knights specifically to protect Sham and the others.

For some reason, Lu Ming and the others did not inform Muka in advance and did not stay at the lord's mansion. Instead, they secretly booked a high-end hotel in Astyanax City.

This practice is common throughout Miracaissa.

Some noble lords, feeling down, would visit a friend's territory to clear their heads, but fearing to disturb their friend, they would book the entire hotel for themselves. Out of politeness, the visiting nobles would not bother their wandering lords.

Therefore, Lu Ming's actions did not arouse any suspicion, and no one investigated them. Both Muka's side and the elders of the Hatu family were busy preparing to implement their plans and had no time to pay attention to Lu Ming and his guards, who were disguised as a noble lord taking a break.

Upon arriving in Astyanax, Lu Ming immediately dispatched his knights to investigate as thoroughly as possible the relationship between Muka and the elders, as well as the current situation.

As a result, the knights quickly uncovered both sides' plans and their actions for the next day, without expending any effort. However, it seems neither side has realized their plans have been leaked, or even that the other's plans have been exposed.

Upon seeing this, Lu Ming couldn't help but glance at Sham, who was now blushing so deeply that she wished there was a crack in the ground she could disappear into.

The Hatu family's secrecy has been ruined to this extent, making one wonder if Sham has also turned Odysseus Territory into this wretched state. If the lord's guard hadn't been kept under the watchful eyes of the two Lilies, something terrible might have happened!

"So, the elders are preparing to overthrow Muka's rule, and Muka no longer wants to be a puppet, so they all chose the same day to carry out their plans?" Standing by the window in the room, looking calmly at the street outside, Lu Ming curled the corners of his mouth.

"Interesting! But just being a spectator seems a bit boring!"

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

Night. Lapuz Hatu, an orphan adopted by the Hatu family and raised to be an assassin, receives an unbelievable mission: to assassinate the mother of the Hatu family patriarch who raised him.

As an adopted son of the Hatu family, he was naturally aware of the conflict between Muka and the elders, so he wasn't surprised by the mission. Moreover, since the mission only involved scaring Muka's mother and didn't actually involve assassinating her, he felt no burden in carrying out the task.

Using stealth and the help of certain alchemical potions, he quickly infiltrated the lord's manor, bypassing several patrolling female knights and maids, and successfully arrived outside Muka's mother's room.

Looking around and seeing that no one was coming from either side of the corridor, he calmed down and began to use special tools to unlock the door, carefully pushing it open.

Entering the dark room, Lapz, relying on the light shining from the corridor, quickly found Viscount Muka's mother, who was already asleep. Because of his mission, he deliberately knocked over a vase, hoping the sound of it breaking would wake Viscount Muka's mother, causing her to scream so he could make his escape.

But the moment the vase fell, it didn't make the expected shattering sound; instead, there was no sound at all.

This surprised Lapz somewhat.
