The wrong transmigrator assigned by the system

Upon hearing this, Monska was furious and immediately led the guard and the others to where those bastards were.

He rushed over for two reasons: first, to see if they were spreading rumors about him as his guards claimed; and second, to see if the Deep Ones were behind it all. After all, Ricard, who was hiding in the city, hadn't been caught yet, and it was possible that the Deep Ones were behind it all. Their aim was to kill him, this powerful regional official who wasn't entirely loyal to the Queen but also didn't want to pledge allegiance to the Deep Ones!

As he gradually arrived at the place where the elven soldiers were discussing him, he heard some things that he could hardly believe.

"To be honest, I don't really care whether the general is a mysterious person or not. It's just that the disappearance of the princess, who was entrusted to the general by Her Majesty the Empress, makes me a little suspicious!"

"You suspect that the general killed the princess?"

"Captain Wenglether was one of the best elves in the army, and he was very kind to us soldiers, but he disappeared at the same time as Her Highness the Princess. That's quite intriguing!"

“That’s right. I heard from one of my brothers that on the day the captain disappeared, he saw the general forcibly drag the captain away from the camp and head towards Mordred Fortress. So I think you’re absolutely right. Whether it’s the captain’s or the princess’s disappearance, the general is definitely involved!”

"I now suspect that the general lured Captain Wenglether out of the camp with Princess Wenglether's whereabouts, then killed him, and finally returned alone to call a meeting of the staff, pretending that he had never left! You know, there was an hour or two between the captain being taken out of the camp and the general calling the staff meeting!"

Hearing the soldiers blame the disappearance of the princess and his most trusted subordinate on him, Monsca was furious. He drew his sword, led his guards, and stormed into the room, quickly killing all the gossiping soldiers.

However, this scene was witnessed by several soldiers who happened to be passing by!

Upon seeing General Monsca and his guards slaughtering several soldiers in the room, the passing soldiers panicked and ran out, shouting, "Oh no! The general has started killing elves!!"

Upon hearing this, Monska's expression changed slightly, and he immediately ordered his personal guards, "Kill them!!"

"Yes, General!" Upon hearing the order, the expressions of the guards changed slightly. They exchanged glances, reluctant to carry out the order, but as Monsca's personal guards, they had no choice but to obey. So they drew their swords and charged at the soldiers who had inadvertently witnessed them killing the soldiers who were spreading rumors.

However, when these guards killed the passing soldiers, they were unfortunately witnessed by other soldiers. In addition, the soldiers shouted before they died, so the soldiers who saw this scene naturally took the soldiers' dying shouts as true, and they all drew their weapons and began to kill General Monsca's guards.

Seeing the situation was dire, the guards immediately sent an elf to lead General Monsca to safety, lest something go wrong and the soldiers, unaware of the truth, kill Monsca.

Of course, the likelihood of such a thing happening is very low; at least, given General Monsca's mastery of swordsmanship, the possibility of him being surrounded and killed by those soldiers is very low. It must be said, however, that he is capable of fighting his way out.

Under the protection of his personal guards, General Monsca returned to his room. Soon after, several officers loyal to him and one of his three staff officers arrived with their soldiers.

Upon seeing General Monska, the only staff officer still willing to remain loyal to him said to the general with great dissatisfaction, "General, you have made the worst decision of your life today."

Upon hearing this, Monska frowned slightly. He then ignored the staff officer and turned to one of his trusted officers, asking, "How many soldiers do we have now? Can we suppress those soldiers who might mutini?"

“General, we only have less than 40,000 soldiers left who we can use with confidence. The rest of the soldiers are on the verge of mutiny because of the rumors. If there is the slightest disturbance, there is a possibility of mutiny, which could then pose a threat to you!” After exchanging glances, one of the officers gritted his teeth and explained the current situation in the small town.

Upon hearing this, General Monsca, who was already short-tempered, flew into a rage and hastily ordered that all the soldiers be slaughtered before they could mutini!

Upon hearing this order, the officers were alarmed and hurriedly said, "General, that won't do! They're already on the verge of mutiny. If you forcefully suppress them, aren't you just pushing them into a mutiny?!"

However, General Monsca completely ignored their words. After kicking an officer to the ground, he roared, "I, Monsca Vixtutasa, have no need for those disloyal soldiers! Now, as a general, I order you to immediately go and wipe out those soldiers who have betrayed the country!!"

"What...!" The officers were shocked to hear Monska say such a thing!

But in the end, out of fear of Monska, they gritted their teeth, left the room, and led their soldiers to wipe out the soldiers who were misled by rumors and now did not know whether they should continue to be loyal to their general and country or mutini and assassinate Monska.

After the officers left, the only staff officer remaining by Monska's side glanced briefly at the door, then looked at Monska and remained silent for nearly ten minutes before speaking to him: "General, since you insist on proceeding this way, I have nothing more to say here. Whether the purge succeeds or fails, I believe you already know the final outcome. So I want to know, what are your current thoughts? Are you going to surrender to the Deep, or will you surrender directly to Miracaesar?"

"Why should I go and join them?" Monsca glanced at the staff officer, a dangerous and sinister smile on his face, and asked rhetorically.

Upon seeing this, the staff officer couldn't help but laugh. After a while, he said, "So that's how it is. General, you are also someone who aspires to dominate the world!"

As he spoke, the staff officer suddenly revealed a sinister expression and said to General Monska, "But General, you must understand that this is not seven thousand years ago. Aifa and Dark Aifa will not allow another branch nation of the Elven race to emerge. Before you consider this, you should think about the Sun Elves and the Polar Elves, who were wiped out as a whole. They were all destroyed because they wanted to establish their own nation!"

"Hmph!" Monska snorted coldly, ignoring the staff officer.

The staff officer didn't seem to care, and after sitting down in a chair, he fell into a long silence.

More than an hour later, the officers were leading their soldiers to attack those who had not yet mutinied but were at risk of doing so, turning the small town into a sea of ​​fire and igniting the anger of all the soldiers.

Because they didn't know if the other elves were like them, forced into rebellion by General Monsca's oppression, the soldiers under different officers were fighting against General Monsca's troops while also fighting against soldiers under other officers.

Under such circumstances, the battle situation suddenly became chaotic, and no one could tell who was right and who was wrong.

The officers led their soldiers in a fierce battle in the small town, but none of them knew that this chaotic civil war was actually orchestrated by the Miracaesars and the Deep.

After learning that the army of the Duchy of Erebus in Miracath had released the elven prisoners and that the prisoners claimed the order to fight to the death indiscriminately was given by Monska, some hidden figures in the city deliberately spread rumors that the disappearance of the nineteenth princess and Captain Wenglese was actually a fabrication by General Monska, thus further alienating his soldiers from him.

This move struck Monsca squarely where it hurt, enraging him to slaughter the soldiers. This triggered a series of butterfly effects, ultimately leading to a massive battle between all the elven soldiers in the city!

It's fair to say that none of this would have happened if Monsca had been a little more easygoing and less concerned about her reputation, and if the Chief of Staff, Wengereser, hadn't left the small town.

However, neither the man from the Deep nor Ricard knew one thing: Captain Wenglese was actually Monska's illegitimate son!

When he heard others suspect that he had killed his own son, the hot-tempered and extremely irritable General Monsca finally lost his temper and ignited the whole thing.

Taking advantage of the chaos in the city, when no one knew the truth, Ricard secretly led his few hundred men to rescue the weaker troops. He began spreading orders for indiscriminate fighting to the death, which was actually the Queen of Aifa's intention. She wanted General Monska and the commander of the Forest Arrows to deplete the number of soldiers as much as possible. The purpose was to send a warning to certain elves in the royal family, letting them know that her power had not diminished.

Because they were unaware of the truth, many officers chose to believe those in the underworld. This was partly due to ignorance and confusion, and partly because they wanted to use the underworld to cultivate relationships with the nobility, hoping to elevate their own ranks and ensure that their confidants also received some of the titles bestowed upon them.

Of course, just as there are elves who believe in the Dark, there are also elves who do not.

Some Elven officers who knew what kind of people the Deep were, upon learning that the people who had come to persuade them were from the Deep, killed them without saying a word.

This greatly angered many of the Deep, who attacked other Elven soldiers with spells such as fireballs while they were fighting, causing them to die by the swords of their own people!

While the other people in the Deep were trying to persuade the Elven officers to join their side, Ricard secretly went alone to the top floor of a building in the middle of the battlefield with the Darkmoon Bow. He was coldly watching as nearly a thousand people besieged their former commander, the general of the Aifar Empire, Monska Vixtustassa!

Seeing the elven general, who was over a thousand years old, being besieged by his former subordinates and forced to wield his longsword, using his immense sword energy to slash and kill these elves who were his soldiers, Ricard couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Old fool, you've finally met your match! You dared to mock my appearance before your queen back then, today I'll make you die at the hands of your men!" After laughing for a while, Likat's expression turned grim as he coldly spoke. He then drew his Darkmoon Bow to its fullest extent and fired a poisoned arrow!

The next moment, General Monsca, who was being besieged, was suddenly struck in the right knee by an arrow. The excruciating pain nearly killed him by the two officers attacking him, but relying on his extensive combat experience, he endured the pain and killed the two officers in return.

But seeing how brave he was, Licat was naturally not happy, and hurriedly shot a few more arrows, which hit Monska’s left knee and both wrists!

Thus, the elves seized the opportunity and successfully pierced his heart with their spears!

But at that moment, General Monsca couldn't help but shout, "Licat!!" and throw his longsword at Licat.

Seeing this, Ricard instinctively used the Darkmoon Bow to block it. He was unharmed, but the Darkmoon Bow was completely destroyed by Monsca's last blow before his death!

The eerie smile on Monsca's corpse made Ricard tremble with rage!

"You old bastard!! You'll cause me trouble until you die!! You damned old bastard!!"

Chapter Sixteen - Reunion

"It's starting again?" Standing on the fortress wall, Lu Ming and Lothric watched the Aifar army marching in perfect unison towards them, and Lu Ming couldn't help but sigh. Then, Lu Ming looked at a mage beside him and asked, "Have you scouted out the enemy's numbers, weapons, armor, horses, and supplies?"

"Your Excellency, the enemy has 70,000 men. Most of their weapons are standard weapons from the Aifa Empire, and their armor is just ordinary iron armor. They only have 20,000 warhorses, enough for 10,000 cavalrymen. Their provisions can sustain them for three months!" The mage immediately replied when Lu Ming asked for information about the enemy.

"The number of people has decreased so much, it seems our plan has succeeded!" Hearing the mage's words, Lothric couldn't help but smile slightly and said.

"Our tactics succeeded, but they also gave some people an opportunity to seize control of Aifa's army." Looking at Aifa's army through his binoculars, Lu Ming quickly spotted two very familiar figures: Likat Wendslan and Medivh Ams. Upon seeing them, Lu Ming knew his plan had been used against him. These elven soldiers were no longer warriors fighting for their queen's will; at this moment, they were nothing more than cannon fodder in the hands of the Dark Lord, disposable resources to be sent to their deaths!

“The Deep Ones? Damn it! These guys really want to get involved in everything!” Upon hearing Lu Ming’s words, Lothric, Tures, Ramanath, Edsor, and the other commanders all picked up their binoculars and looked toward the Aifa army. They also saw Licarte and Medivh, whose faces looked almost identical to those of the Deep Ones.

Just as some commanders were complaining about the Deep's interference, Lu Ming took out the Bow of Hope, intending to give Licard a surprise. Or rather, a surprise without any joy.

Drawing back the Bow of Hope, Lu Ming imbued a golden arrow with the bow's lightning, then aimed at Licarte and fired the Moonlight Arrow.

Amid the shock of the commanders except for Lothric and Ramanath, the Moon Arrow struck Ricard squarely in the head. Had he not reacted in time, he might have died on his homeland.

However, without moving, Likat used his inner energy to knock the golden arrow away.

Upon seeing this, many people around Lu Ming were shocked and couldn't help but exclaim, "The Dragon Slayer!"

"He's actually a fifth-tier expert!"

"This is terrifying! How can someone so young become a dragon slayer? It probably won't be long before he's promoted to a sixth-tier Dragonblood Warrior!"

"How can such a terrifyingly powerful figure appear in their army? What should we do?!"

Hearing the commanders' surprised and panicked words about Likat's strength, Lu Ming silently turned his head slightly and glanced at them. They were immediately frightened into silence by the murderous aura emanating from Lu Ming, which was like black flames.

Although we don't know what the aura of a dragon slayer is like, the aura emanating from Lu Ming at this moment is absolutely terrifying!

That terrifying, dark, insane, and greedy aura, like something deeper than the abyss, made everyone's hearts tremble, even Ramanlas and Miral who was making puppet soldiers!

None of them had ever imagined that Lu Ming would possess such a terrifying and insane aura. While filled with fear, many of them also began to secretly plot things because of this aura...

"No matter how strong that person is, he is still the enemy. How can we possibly win if you keep boosting the enemy's morale while diminishing your own?!" Lothric, the only one who was not alarmed by Lu Ming's aura, glanced at the group and snorted coldly.

Upon hearing Lothric's words, the commanders immediately apologized to Lu Ming and Lothric, saying, "We are very sorry, Earl Lothric and Viscount Lu Ming, it was our oversight."

"Whether we win or lose, we'll only know after we try. You're already trembling with fear before the fight even starts, what kind of behavior is that?!" Lu Ming swept his eyes over the commanders and reprimanded them, then turned his gaze to the distant army of Aifa.

"Furthermore, do you think those elves would willingly work for the Deep? They're nothing but a bunch of pathetic wretches forced to their deaths! Look at them, aren't they all crestfallen? With such a demoralized army, they still want to attack our fortress? They're dreaming! Without the help of those elven soldiers, do you think a dragon slayer can change anything?"

Upon hearing Lu Ming's words, the commanders all picked up their binoculars and looked at Aifa's army. They found that, just as Lu Ming had said, the entire army had no morale whatsoever. Some soldiers had even thrown away their weapons. Almost all the elven soldiers were forced to march toward Mordred Fortress by a large group of Dark Cursed Ones hidden among the soldiers!

Thus, the group regained their confidence in defeating the army. Although, behind these 70,000 elves, there were still over 100,000 elven reinforcements who had not yet arrived...

"Mages and priests, line up!!" "Archers, prepare!!"

As Aifa's army drew closer, Lu Ming and Lothric began to command their own soldiers.

Upon hearing the order, the mages, priests, and soldiers who could use bows immediately lined up, ready to unleash a terrifying rain of arrows, magic, and miracles upon the commander's next command!

At this moment, Ricard rode his horse to the forefront of Aifa's army and began to address them, trying to mobilize the morale of these elves and make them fight for the Deep.

Although Lu Ming and the others couldn't hear or understand the specifics, the general meaning was that their lives were in their hands, their families were also in their hands, and if they wanted their families and themselves to survive, they should obediently go and take down that fortress for them.

After Licarta finished speaking, Aifa's army changed completely in an instant.

Although their morale was different from when they were under the command of the elven general, they still had some morale.

"It seems that guy threatened those soldiers with his family." Seeing that Aifa's army had changed its demeanor, Lothric said this to Lu Ming, and then immediately ordered the other commanders: "Everyone, prepare for battle! We are about to engage in a long campaign!"

Upon hearing this, the commanders immediately went to direct their troops.

Meanwhile, the army of Aifa began to march forward, weapons in hand, toward Mordred Fortress, preparing to attack this fortress that had never been breached since the day it was built!

As the elven soldiers drew closer, the commanders immediately roared, "Fire the arrows!!"

In an instant, almost all the archers fired their arrows. The arrows flew in a continuous barrage, like a storm, raining down on the heads of the Elven soldiers. In a flash, hundreds and thousands of Elven soldiers fell heavily to the ground, losing their lives!

However, after they fell, the Dark Cursed Ones who had attacked the city alongside the Elven soldiers immediately picked up their corpses and used them as sandbags to bury the moat. Sometimes they didn't even care whether the elves they picked up were dead or alive. Even if they heard the elves screaming, they would throw them into the moat without hesitation, forcibly burying and blocking a section of the moat with more than a thousand elves.

Upon seeing this, Lu Ming immediately ordered the mages to use fire magic to burn the corpses and the still-living elves to ashes.

Incredibly, as the mages of the Yggdrasil Cavalry began burning the corpses, the Dark Cursed Ones spewed forth clouds of death curses, turning the elven corpses and the surviving elves into stone statues.

Under the burning of fire magic, those things quickly turned into a large patch of ashes, completely blocking the moat!

Seeing this, Lu Ming and Lothric both realized at that moment that Ricard and Medivh's plan. He wanted to use the corpses of the elves to build a staircase for his army to ascend the first layer of the city walls, and the mages' flames were a crucial step in building that staircase!

However, Lu Ming felt that regardless of whether the magician of Yggdrasil had fire magic or not, the stairs would still be created by the Dark Cursed Ones, because he saw that many of the Dark Cursed Ones were carrying magic scrolls, which were probably used to ignite a great fire and burn the cursed elves to ashes!

Therefore, Lu Ming naturally could not let them have their way, so he immediately ordered Ramanra to lead the priests to bombard those Dark Cursed Ones with lightning spears, completely annihilating them.

But at that moment, Licarta and Medivh Arms, two of the higher-ranking members of the Deep, also entered the battlefield!

Once inside the battlefield, Likat began attacking the soldiers on the fortress walls with sword slashes and qi whips, and even attempted to attack Ramanlas.
