The wrong transmigrator assigned by the system

The calm on Lu Ming and Lothric's faces, and the wailing of the elven lieutenant, sent chills down the spines of Tures and Edsor, and also frightened the elven girl who had tricked the elven lieutenant into going to Morgan Forest into tears.

Because Lu Ming had mentioned that the torture the elven lieutenant had suffered would be used on her later, she was terrified at this moment, fearing that Lu Ming would actually do such a terrible thing to her.

But what she feared most was what was most likely to happen.

After Lu Ming and Lothric removed the middle section of the finger bones from the eight fingers of the elven lieutenant's two hands, Lu Ming took the blood-stained scalpel and came to her side.

"Because I captured you, you will be given to me as spoils of war by the Grand Duke. In other words, I can do whatever I want with you, and you cannot complain. Everything that happened today is the same. To be honest, I feel a little reluctant to lay a hand on such a beautiful girl as you. But you can only blame your companion!" Looking at the terrified elven girl, Lu Ming glanced at the nearly exhausted elven adjutant. Seeing that he didn't even look at the elven girl, he couldn't help but sigh slightly. He gritted his teeth and used a scalpel to make a long cut on the girl's slender, white finger, causing her to scream in terror.

Upon hearing the elven girl's scream, the elven lieutenant was terrified and hurriedly shouted angrily, "Stop!! You bastard, if you have something to say, come at me again!!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Ming couldn't help but sneer, saying, "If you're really worried about her, you should obediently tell us everything you know, instead of playing the hero here. You know what? The way you act like you know everything is really hypocritical! Since you won't tell us, you should just ignore her screams, otherwise what can you do? Besides, if you provoke us, both she and you will be in trouble!"

As he spoke, Lu Ming was about to continue.

At this moment, the elven girl, already quite frightened, hurriedly cried out, "I am Kate Silvan, the nineteenth princess of the Aifa Empire! I will tell you everything I know, please, please spare me!!"

However, she didn't know that her words would be interpreted differently by Lu Ming and the others!

"You brat, how dare you slander us! Looks like you really want to be tortured by Lu Ming!!"

Kate didn't know why Edsor, who had been pale with fright, suddenly turned red in the face and yelled at her angrily. But Lu Ming actually stopped the torture he was inflicting and looked at her with a surprised expression.

Because Kate's pleas for mercy turned into other insulting remarks, Edsor, feeling both fear and anger, walked up to Kate, raised his hand, and struck her.

"Ah!" Just as Kate screamed in fear of being hit, Lu Ming grabbed Edsor's wrist and threw him away, where he slammed heavily to the ground.

Lying sprawled on the ground, Edsor blinked, bewildered as he looked at Lu Ming and Lothric, who was glaring at him with obvious displeasure.

Looking down at Edsor, Lu Ming said coldly, "Edsor, let me tell you, I didn't know anyone was interfering with me while I was doing what I was doing. Besides, this girl is under a verbal curse, preventing her from saying what the curser didn't want her to say. Forcing her to say it resulted in us hearing what she said. Understand?"

Upon hearing Lu Ming's words, Edsor immediately scrambled to his feet and obediently apologized to Lu Ming and Lothric, the two key interrogators. He knew all too well that nobles like Lu Ming and Lothric would retaliate horribly against anyone who interfered with their work, so it was best to admit his mistake now, or it would be too late when he was tied to the third chair!

After all, he had seen quite a few people killed by nobles like Lu Ming or Lothric. In fact, many lives had been lost at the hands of those two...

Suddenly, the interrogation room door was opened, and a soldier with a panicked expression rushed in.

“No need to say anything, we already know.” Lothric said directly before the soldier could speak.

Then, under the soldier's bewildered gaze, Lothric said to Torres, "Miss Torres, those elves are in your care. I hope you won't make the same mistake you did on the battlefield of Yaru this time."

Torres rolled his eyes at Losrik, then said, "Don't worry, I won't make the same mistake again this time. After all, I don't want to be taught tactical theories by Yogsotus again."

After saying that, Torres forcibly pulled the soldier away.

At this moment, Lu Ming untied the ropes binding Kate, took her hand, and walked out, saying, "That elven officer is yours now."

Upon seeing this, Lothric couldn't help but laugh and said, "Have fun, you bastard."

"I also hope you have a good time, you two bastards." Lu Ming smiled slightly, turned his head and cursed back, then pulled Kate back to his room.

Although many soldiers and officers pointed and whispered about him along the way, Lu Ming didn't care at all. He simply pulled Kate into his room and locked the door.

However, contrary to what the officers and soldiers thought, Lu Ming did not do anything to Kate, or rather, he did not do anything at the moment.

Lu Ming pressed Kate into a chair and helped her sit down. Then, he took out a small first-aid kit from his phone and began bandaging the wound on Kate's finger.

"Will you kill me?" Kate asked, looking at Lu Ming who was bandaging and treating her, terrified.

“If you try to escape or attack me and my family, I think yes, I will kill you.” Lu Ming said expressionlessly as he carefully poured the powder onto the wound on Kate’s finger.

“What if I’m very well-behaved?” Kate then asked.

"Then you should have a few children with me and live a peaceful life. I might even get you a count's title."

"I...I...I...I am the nineteenth princess of the Aifa Empire, how could I possibly be with you..."

"I told you, silly girl, your words were changed by a curse!" As if he had known Kate for a long time, Lu Ming gently tapped Kate's forehead and said affectionately.

After being bullied by Lu Ming repeatedly, Kate said angrily, "You bastard, do you know something?!"

"What do you mean, how do you say it?"

“The soldiers who found us earlier spotted us while on patrol. But you, as an interrogator, don’t need to patrol, so there’s no way you could have been there! Moreover, those soldiers didn’t report to the fortress in the few minutes they found us, yet you appeared there less than ten seconds after one of them appeared. That’s impossible!” Kate’s face was no longer filled with panic or fear as she spoke, and she wasn’t afraid of Lu Ming at all.

Upon seeing this, Lu Ming couldn't help but laugh: "Hehehehehe..."

"why are you laughing?"

"What am I laughing at? You're stupid!" After bandaging Kate's finger, Lu Ming sat down on a large, hard bed and laughed, "First of all, I don't think it's a good thing for you to suddenly stop pretending to be weak. It's easy for you to get into danger! Secondly, aren't you overestimating yourself a bit? You're just a little nineteenth princess. Don't think you have any value that would make Miracaesa spare your life!"

"What?! You..."

"Yes, I know who you are, I know your name, and I can even understand the true meaning of your words! Do you know why? Because the curse on you was placed on me on the way I brought you back!"

Upon hearing this, Kate's gaze toward Lu Ming turned somewhat cold.

"What is your purpose? What benefit do you gain from doing this?"

"There's no benefit to it, and I don't need any benefit!"

"what?"

Lu Ming smiled and extended his hand to Kate, saying, "Now you can choose to listen to me and live a happy life under my control, or choose to be used as a political bargaining chip by the Miracaisar royal family, to be exchanged for something or a temporary ceasefire, then be sent back to the Aifa Empire, and finally be eaten by Eldridge, dying in pain and wailing! Choose now!"

"How do you know I'll definitely be eaten? After I go back, I might be able to kill him, become empress, and crush all of you Miracaesar into dust!!" Kate couldn't help but ask after hearing Lu Ming say this.

"So, do you choose to obey or go back and be eaten?" Lu Ming ignored Kate's words and simply asked.

"..." Upon hearing this, Kate fell silent. The pressure Lu Ming was putting on her was immense, and when he asked that question, he seemed to know that he was definitely going to be devoured, which made her think about it for a while longer.

But in the end, she placed her hand in Lu Ming's and smiled, "Please be good to me. I don't want to die!"

"Don't worry, I'll protect you, Kate." Seeing that Kate had wisely chosen to be controlled by him for life, Lu Ming gently pulled her into his arms and smiled, "Right now, that guy Eldridge is planning to take advantage of our war to murder your mother, then impersonate her to command your Aifa army to seize three mineral veins that are crucial to him, allowing him to survive the so-called Deep Sea Age. During this time, you and your brothers and sisters are the ones who will disrupt his plans. So, no matter what you do after you go back, or whether you do anything that threatens him, you will be killed!"

"Who exactly are you? How would an interrogator know these things?"

"Hehehehe! I'm not some interrogator! I'm a lord!"

Chapter Thirteen - Initial Victory and Doubt

After chatting with Kate for a while, Lu Ming handed Kate over to Mirar and Ramanlas to be disciplined, and then went to the conference room to watch the battle situation on the Tures side with the commanders of various armies using magical devices.

As soon as Lu Ming entered the room and sat down, he saw Lothric and Edsor also come in.

"So? Did you get anything out of him?" Lu Ming asked Losrick after he sat down next to him.

“No, that guy is incredibly stubborn. No matter how much torture he endures, he won’t say a word.” Lothric shook his head slightly, then turned to Lu Ming and asked, “What about you? Did you get anything out of that female elf?”

"Heh!" Lu Ming chuckled, then shook his head and said, "She didn't say anything except her name. The language curse on her is too powerful; even I can't break it."

“How about we find a priest?” Edsor couldn’t help but suggest.

"If you want to die, just say so. Don't drag us all down with you!" Lothric glared angrily at Edsor, then looked at the magical device and said nothing more.

Lu Ming explained to him, "If you involve a pastor in the interrogation, the Church of Light will likely think you are insulting them, and the end result will be that you get beaten to death by the Church of Light!"

"..." Upon hearing Lu Ming's explanation, Edsor immediately cowered. After all, he didn't have any particularly good relationship with the Church of Light. If the church found out, he would be doomed!

After Edsor realized his mistake, Lu Ming and Lothric began to focus intently on the scene inside the magical device.

The images on the magical device were taken by elemental birds summoned by the mages of Yogg-Sotus, carrying special equipment. Therefore, Lu Ming and his companions could only see a general outline, and there was no sound. However, such a device was already a powerful artifact during wartime. After all, there were several such devices currently in the fortress, monitoring the movements of the main elven force and potential attacks on several locations near Mordred Fortress, to prevent the Duchy of Erebus from losing to one of the three armies of the Aifa Empire attacking the Kingdom of Miracaiser.

Encouragingly, Toures's Deucalion easily defeated the five thousand light cavalry of the Aifa Empire. Although they were subsequently forced back by ten thousand heavy cavalry who arrived shortly after, this was still the first victory for the Erebus and Aifa armies since the start of their battle. The previous encounter had only resulted in mutual losses.

Watching Tures lead Deucalion's heavy cavalry through the magical device, easily tearing apart the elven light cavalry formation, killing most of them, and then withdrawing without losing a single soldier and returning safely, Lu Ming and the others couldn't help but cheer.

Compared to the situation in the small town, where they were overwhelmed by the elves and unable to repel their army, this small victory was incredibly encouraging! Moreover, it proved to the commanders of ordinary armies, who were not elite troops, that the elves were not invincible; they were flesh and blood, living beings, and that their swords could easily take their lives to protect their families, land, and honor!

After confirming that Torres and her Deucalion Cavalry had returned safely and that the enraged Elven heavy cavalry had been lured toward Mordred Fortress, Lu Ming and Lothric exchanged a glance, and then without hesitation began to direct the several commanders present to prepare their troops for battle.

Of course, Lu Ming and Ramanlas's Yugsotus will also be facing off.

As they walked step by step toward the fortress gate, Lu Ming commanded his knights to summon Ramanlas and ordered another knight to mobilize the army.

Before long, Ramanlas arrived at the city gate with the knight.

Ramanlas was a little sullen, seemingly angry with Lu Ming about Kate's situation. However, once she mounted her horse and took the reins, all her anger vanished. After all, they were on the battlefield and couldn't act impulsively.

But bickering is inevitable.

In a place where no one else could hear, Lu Ming and Ramanlas spoke in hushed tones, though Ramanlas's words were rather impolite.

"You want her? Aren't you afraid of being killed by Sham and Lily? That female elf is a real problem for the territory. The Grand Duke and the royal family might even become suspicious of you! So you should listen to me and Miral and just give her to any officer!"

"Why should I give away the spoils I captured myself? Besides, she poses no threat to you; she's just an elven servant."

"I don't care about anything else, you have to listen to me! Otherwise, you're dead!"

"..." Looking at Ramanlas, who was getting angry at him for the first time, Lu Ming paused for a moment, then said, "I have my own considerations for this matter, you don't need to worry about anything. She won't hurt us."

“But she will threaten my children!” Ramanlas said angrily.

"Wait a minute, are you worried that I might have a child with her, which would threaten my position with your children? Are you doubting that I would favor one over the other?"

“You might not be biased, but Lisa said that in the future you will have two elven wives, one is a chimera, and the other is probably the female elf you captured. The two sons they had with you took over Odysseus’ territory and drove me and my children out of it!”

“But they are the only two who want to avenge me against Eldridge. The others either chose to leave or submitted to Eldridge’s rule!” Lu Ming said angrily upon hearing Ramanlas’s words.

"......" "......"

As soon as Lu Ming finished speaking, the two fell into a long silence. Only when they could see the dust kicked up by Deucalion's galloping horses did Lu Ming speak first: "Ramanras, you should believe me, I won't let the children suffer! They are your children, and they are my children!"

After saying that, Lu Ming led the knights toward the room where Deucalion had come, preparing to catch the elven pursuers off guard together with Deucalion!

Watching Lu Ming's retreating figure, Ramanlas gritted her teeth and then followed closely behind.

As they drew closer, Lu Ming, Ramanas, and the soldiers of Yogg-Sotus all took out their amulets. In the instant they brushed past Deucalion, Ramanas led a barrage of lightning spears, knocking off the horses of a number of the Elven cavalrymen who were hot on Deucalion's heels.

At the same time, the rest of Erebus's army also began attacking the elven cavalry. However, they lacked any miracles or magic, so they could only use bows and flintlock muskets to attack the elven soldiers.

Faced with such a counterattack, the Elven army was thrown into chaos and could only engage in skirmishes with ordinary troops. They were completely unable to fight against the soldiers of Yogthotus who had experienced the most terrifying things.

The bombardment of lightning spears, the slashing of sharp blades, and the incredible dodging skills are all strengths of Yogthotus' soldiers.

The elves, who had always held human and beast-eared forces in contempt, were completely bewildered when faced with such a powerful mixed army of humans and beast-eared creatures, and had no idea how to fight them!

When Deucalion, whom they had been chasing all the way, suddenly turned around and launched a counterattack, they were even less able to retaliate against Deucalion and Euglenothus.

After fighting for about ten minutes, the commander of the elven cavalry regiment, seeing that his side had suffered heavy losses, had no choice but to order a retreat.

Upon seeing the signal from their own commander, all the mid- to low-ranking elven officers roared in their native language: "Retreat! Retreat! Everyone retreat!!"

Soon, almost all the elven soldiers who hadn't yet been captured or killed by the army of the Duchy of Erebus fled. As for the elves captured by Lu Ming and his men, they simply ignored them. They didn't even bother to look at them, let alone rescue them!

Seeing that the elven soldiers had all fled in defeat, many commanders of the ordinary army came to Ramanas and Tures and advised them to pursue the elven soldiers.

"What do you think?" But Tures didn't speak, while Ramanlas looked at her husband, Lu Ming.
