The wrong transmigrator assigned by the system

The compressed magic, like beams of dark blue light, shot into Aifa's army, causing violent explosions and sounding the horn for Aifa's attack on the city!

Lu Ming took out the Bow of Hope, inserted dozens of Moonlight Arrows into the quiver, and then commanded the mages to unleash another magical barrage.

Although simple yet powerful magical attacks like Magic Bombardment were relentlessly raining down on Aifa's army, for Aifa's 80,000 soldiers, such attacks were merely clearing out some unlucky soldiers, and did not cause any real damage.

As Aifa's army drew closer, command of Yogg-Sotus was transferred to Ramanlas, and Lu Ming and Lothric began attacking the elven soldiers with arrows and magic.

"Everyone prepare to attack with lightning spears!!" With a loud shout, Ramanlas took out his amulet and was the first to launch his lightning spears at Aifa's army.

Once a lightning spear was fired, thousands more followed closely behind, raining down on the heads of Aifa's soldiers.

For various reasons, the army in this border town numbered no more than 20,000 men. Among them, only two armies were relatively elite: one was the Yugsotus army, which Lu Ming and Los Rik had raised, and the other was a light cavalry legion led by Count Nerocatolo's trusted men.

As light cavalry, these men were highly skilled archers. Like Euglesotus's thunder spear, each of their arrows took the life of an enemy soldier.

Apart from these two armies, each with fewer than 5,000 men, the other armies were basically cobbled together from various sources, and their combat effectiveness was nowhere near that of Eurysos and Nero's trusted troops.

Even so, Lu Ming and his men, leading over 20,000 troops, forcefully withstood Aifa's army's first siege, inflicting heavy losses on them.

However, for some reason, both Lu Ming and Lothric felt a vague unease. It wasn't for any other reason than the other side's dismissive attitude towards their own wounded.

“One hour, they attacked for only one hour and then abandoned the wounded and retreated... This really doesn’t seem like they were going to attack the city.” Standing on the city wall, looking at the Aifa army that had just been desperately climbing up the wall, trying to fight them, but suddenly scattered, Lu Ming frowned as he pondered and said to the others beside him.

“They’re probably plotting something. We need to be careful!” Nero’s confidant, Edtholmox, said after shooting down an elven wounded soldier who was wailing at the foot of the city wall.

"Could this be a prerequisite for casting some kind of necromancy?" Suddenly, Lothric thought of something and asked Lu Ming and Edsor.

"Possibly. After all, these soldiers wouldn't die for no reason; I don't believe it unless they had a purpose!" Upon hearing Lothric's question, Lu Ming carefully searched his knowledge of necromancy and discovered that many necromancy spells required a large number of corpses or the last breath of resentment of the dying to be cast. He immediately arranged for the mages and priests of Yogg-Sotus to purify the corpses of the elven soldiers outside the city and their resentment!

Watching the corpses of the elven soldiers burned to ashes by fire magic and then purified by the divine spells of the Church of Light, Lu Ming and the others breathed a slight sigh of relief...

But the next moment, a loud bang suddenly rang out, and a cannonball suddenly landed on the city wall, killing several soldiers of the ragtag army!

Upon seeing this, Lu Ming and Lothric's faces darkened immediately. They hurriedly directed the mages to begin drawing shield magic circles on the city walls, using the shields generated by the magic circles to block the cannonballs one by one.

However, the elven artillery fire was not going to allow them to successfully draw the magic circle.

"Damn it! Where did these elves get these cannons from?! Why didn't the intelligence department give us a single piece of information about the cannons?!" While using magic to shoot down most of the cannonballs, Lu Ming couldn't help but curse Miracaissa's intelligence department as useless!

"Heaven knows where these elves got them from. The most important thing now is to get the magic circle ready as soon as possible!"

Lothric and his men, who had just thought they had won a battle, were caught off guard by the enemy and were in a very bad mood. So, while shooting down the cannonballs, Lu Ming, Lothric, and some long-range magic bombarded the location of the Aifa army's cannons, trying to destroy as many cannons as possible!

However, such attacks had no effect on Aifa's artillery battalion.

Because the enemy had so many cannons, they almost completely suppressed all the soldiers except for the elite Yggdrasil who could use magic to shoot down the cannonballs.

By the time the mages had drawn and activated the magic circles, barely managing to hold off the elven artillery fire and allow them to draw more magic circles, the defending army had already suffered nearly three thousand casualties from the artillery fire of the Elf.

"What is the intelligence department good for?! They always make mistakes!! What use are they?!" As soon as he returned to the temporary residence area prepared for the commanders of various armies in the city as a place to discuss strategic deployments, Lu Ming slammed his hat on the table and complained loudly, venting his dissatisfaction with the intelligence department.

Although the Aifa Empire suffered more losses in this battle, what's infuriating is that these losses could have been avoided. If the intelligence department had provided them with advance information, they would have had ample time to prepare the magic arrays in advance, and they wouldn't have suffered such inexplicable losses of so many soldiers.

So it's no wonder Lu Ming was so angry, and the others were also furious.

However, Lu Ming quickly stopped thinking about these things. After all, complaining about the intelligence department's failures was pointless. Instead of doing that, he should try to turn the tide of the battle.

Sitting in his seat, Lu Ming frowned, pondering a solution.

Soon, Lu Ming turned his gaze to a low-ranking officer connected to the intelligence department, startling the man who mistakenly thought Lu Ming was about to do something to him. However, Lu Ming asked instead, "How long will it take for the reinforcements promised by the Grand Duke to arrive?"

"Your Excellency, it will take three more days for Onsos to arrive here."

"Three days? Ha! In three days we'll have been blown to bits by the elves' cannons!" Edsor roared in anger upon hearing the lower-ranking officer's reply.

As Lu Ming pondered, he said, "Onsos's ten thousand men will take another three days to arrive, and Deucalion has established a second line of defense behind us, so they can't possibly come to our aid. So, do we have to rely on ourselves?"

Upon hearing Lu Ming's words, Lothric couldn't help but ask, "I heard from the soldiers that besides the Duke, you also brought Mirallsach and Henesunos from your school this time. You must have some backup plan, otherwise you wouldn't have done this."

"Before coming here, the two of them were working with professors at school to develop a new type of puppet soldier. So when I arrived, they said they wanted to test the performance of that puppet soldier, so they came along. I didn't bring them with me!"

"Do you dare say you didn't provide them with any guidance?"

"Ha! Guidance, my foot! Those two are notorious for not getting along at school. If I were to mentor them, would I have a death wish or something?"

Upon hearing this, Lothric didn't think much of it and said, "In that case, have them make more of those puppet soldiers as soon as possible. After all, no experiment is as good as actual combat."

"I see."

Watching Lu Ming chatting away with Lothric, Ramanras was slightly surprised. Mirall's puppet soldiers were created because Lu Ming realized that Mirall and Henes's technologies complemented each other, thus maximizing their cooperation. Moreover, many of the concepts were from Lu Ming's notes; in other words, without Lu Ming, the two of them couldn't have developed the new type of puppet soldier!

But why did he give all the credit to Mirar and Henes?

Ramanlas couldn't understand it, but she didn't want to expose Lu Ming's lie, because she was more familiar with Miral than Lu Ming...

Just as Ramanlas was puzzled by Lu Ming's actions, Edsor suddenly said, "Since they have puppet soldiers who can help us turn the situation around to our advantage, why not call them over now... no, invite them over?"

After a moment's thought, Lothric nodded and said to a junior officer, "Go and invite Viscount Lu Ming's wife, Lady Sachi, and Professor Hernes Unos of the royal family over."

"Yes, Your Excellency." Upon hearing the order, the lower-ranking officer immediately left and went to the temporary residence assigned to Lu Ming to summon Mirar and Henes.

During this time, Lothric asked Lu Ming to inquire about the new type of puppet soldiers, but Lu Ming pretended to be ignorant and avoided Lothric and Edsor's continuous questioning.

About ten minutes later, Mirar and Henes arrived at where Lu Ming and the others were.

Judging from the grime on their faces, the two women were adjusting the puppet soldiers' performance when the officer found them.

"Viscount Lu Ming said that you and the professors at the school have independently developed a new type of puppet soldier and want to test its performance on the battlefield?" Lothric asked, looking at Mirar and Henes.

“Yes!” Mirar and Henes nodded slightly.

"In that case, after discussion, Duke Ramanrasunos and I, as the commanders of the first line of defense, have decided to have your two puppet soldiers participate in the siege during the next elven attack!"

"Yes!" Miral was immediately delighted upon hearing this, because once she, the professors, and Henes achieved certain military merits in developing the puppet soldiers, she and the others would receive rewards and titles.

But just then, Edsor suddenly asked Mirall, "By the way, when you were developing the puppet soldiers, did Viscount Lu Ming participate? If he were there, we soldiers would feel a little more at ease!"

"No, my husband wasn't involved in the development of the puppet soldiers. But please rest assured, Henes and I have reliable technology!"

Upon hearing Miral's answer, Ramanlas widened her eyes in disbelief, while Lu Ming's breathing paused slightly.

Looking at Miral, Lu Ming took a deep breath, as if to calm his unstable emotions.

Chapter Seven - The Puppet Soldiers' First Battle

Before Miral and Henes could explain the capabilities of their puppet soldiers, Aifa's army launched another siege, forcing Miral and Henes to conduct their explanation on the battlefield.

On the way towards the city wall, Miral noticed Lu Ming's dissatisfaction with her. She also knew that Edsor's question was because Lu Ming had given the credit to the two of them and the professors, so she should say a few polite words to avoid being looked down upon by those people.

However, because of a childhood dream, she chose not to give Lu Ming any face, which gave Henes an opportunity to drive a wedge between her and Lu Ming. Now, thinking back on it, she couldn't help but feel that she was really stupid.

“Um…darling, before…I…” Following behind Lu Ming and Ramanlas, Miral wanted to apologize to Lu Ming, but was interrupted by Lu Ming’s words.

“Mira, we are husband and wife, so I hope you can consider my feelings next time.”

"sorry."

"Ha! I'm sorry. If apologies were effective, there wouldn't be so many divorced nobles in the world."

Upon hearing this, Miral was startled and hurriedly looked at Lu Ming, only to see him stop, turn his head slightly, and look at her, saying, "I am your husband, I will give you everything you want, but you should also think more about me."

"Yes......"

"Let's go. Whether you can get your title soon depends on whether your puppet soldiers can achieve good results." Seeing Miral's guilty look, Lu Ming reached out and patted her head.

Lu Ming's touch reminded Miral of the past, causing her to nod vigorously and then throw herself into Lu Ming's arms.

"Ok!"

Seeing Miral snuggling in Lu Ming's arms, Ramanlas couldn't help but sigh and remind her, "We're on the battlefield, Miral!"

"What the hell..." Mirall glared at Ramanlas angrily, thinking to herself, "I finally remembered that time, relying on Lu Ming's senses, what are you doing here causing trouble?!"

However, after being reminded by Ramanlas, Mirar lost her desire to continue acting cute. After letting go of Lu Ming's arms, she walked towards the city wall.

Seeing this, Lu Ming and Ramanlas followed.

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

Step by step, Lu Ming climbed the city wall. Looking at the Aifa army that had once again gathered outside the city, he carefully counted them and then frowned slightly. He said to Lothric beside him, "Their numbers have not decreased."

"Have they received reinforcements?" Hearing Lu Ming's words, Lothric frowned. He quickly turned to Miral and Henes and ordered, "Release your puppet soldiers! This time, we're going to deliver a heavy blow to the elves of Aifa!!"

"Yes!" Miral and Henes responded, and then released a large number of magical materials from their respective spatial items, using magic to turn these materials into puppet soldiers that resembled cheetahs.

"Leopards? Indeed, using the speed of a leopard in conjunction with those chainsaw-like wings could allow these puppet soldiers to wreak havoc in the enemy's ranks. But I wonder if the theoretical aspects can translate into good enough results in actual combat!" After carefully examining Miral and the other man's puppet soldiers, Edsor smiled and said to Lu Ming and Lothric.

"It should be possible. After all, they are puppet soldiers. They should be able to kill some elves no matter what." Lu Ming didn't say anything about Miral and Henes modifying the appearance of the puppet soldiers without permission. Instead, he tried his best to speak up for them.

Lothric also said, "Professor Miraal Sachs' puppet soldiers played a significant role on the Yaru battlefield, and I believe that the puppet soldiers she has developed this time will also achieve very good results."

"Thank you both for your kind words, but let's prove the abilities of our puppet soldiers with the blood of the Elven race!" After guiding a total of thirty-six cheetah puppet soldiers to leap down from the city wall with magic, Henes then said arrogantly.

Miral then added, "Now we'll show you just how amazing our puppet soldiers are!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Ming and the others looked towards the outside of the city.

At this very moment, Aifa's army has assembled and is marching towards their small town!

Meanwhile, Mirar and Henes's puppet soldiers also adopted a posture as if they were about to begin a hunt, preparing to start a massacre.

However, the observant Edsor noticed that Lu Ming then took out a blank notebook and a magic pen and handed them to Ramanlas, asking her to help him record the performance, strengths, and weaknesses of the puppet soldiers one by one.

So he couldn't help but say, "Viscount Lu Ming, are you sure your wife's puppet soldiers are usable? What kind of developer has someone else recording the data when testing something new? Can't you find a reliable person to develop these puppet soldiers?"

"Just watch. Why all the nonsense!" Lu Ming took out the Bow of Hope, put the arrows into the easily accessible quiver, and then glanced at Edsor indifferently before reprimanding him.

"..." Edsor felt embarrassed after being scolded by Lu Ming, but since they were on the battlefield, he didn't lose his temper with Lu Ming. However, things might change after the war was over.

As a long, drawn-out horn sounded, echoing across the entire battlefield, Aifa's army began its offensive.

During this siege, Lu Ming and his men saw a large number of siege ladders, so Lu Ming and the other officers who had Pokémon training released their Pokémon.

Examples include Lu Ming's Boscodorra and Zoroark, Lothric's Yundira, and a whole bunch of Cocodorra and Cocodorra.

"Aggron, use Rock Tomb!" Looking coldly at the Elf army, Lu Ming was the first to give the order to his Pokémon.

Soon, almost all the officers who owned the Cocodora clan also issued orders.

In an instant, countless boulders were conjured out of thin air by the Cocodora clan and slammed heavily into the elven army, splitting them into several pieces and instantly destroying the elven formation!

At that moment, Mirar and Henes immediately activated the puppet soldiers' attack mode, sending them to search for the enemy. After making a series of strange noises, they charged towards the elven army.

As soon as the puppet soldiers charged towards them, shouts erupted from the elven army's lower-ranking officers. Although Lu Ming and his companions couldn't understand what they were saying, the shield-raising and shield-forming actions of the elven soldiers closer to the puppet soldiers indicated that they were directing their troops to defend against the puppet soldiers' attack before launching a counterattack.

Unfortunately, the weapons of Miral and Henes's puppet soldiers were the chainsaw-like wings on their backs. These chainsaw wings, driven entirely by magic, could easily saw through any armor and shields native to Puru, unless they were protected by high-level magic or divine power... and the shields and armor used by the elves were clearly not capable of withstanding the attacks of these two types of chainsaw-like wings!
