The wrong transmigrator assigned by the system

However, just as Lu Ming was feeling incredibly frustrated, his wife, Ramanlas, and Chimera suddenly walked in. Ramanlas, whose title was the same as the two Grand Dukes but who didn't own any land, smiled and said, "If you're not worried they'll give up halfway, then send them all over. After going through hellish training, I think we, the Yugsotus, should be able to deeply imprint the methods and tactics for using the Thunder Spear miracle into their minds!"

Hearing Ramanlas's terrifying declaration, Tures couldn't help but swallow hard, thinking to himself, 'How horrible!'

While Ramanlas didn't possess any territory, under Lu Ming's deliberate tutelage, she had subtly developed a regal air, commanding respect and inspiring awe. Furthermore, as Lu Ming's wife, her speech inevitably carried a hint of his influence. Therefore, it was understandable that Tures found Ramanlas somewhat terrifying. After all, she genuinely was now quite frightening...

But what terrified Toure the most was not Ramanlas, but her own brother, Grand Duke Rael, because he was considering whether or not to let Toure join the training as well.

However, in the end, Grand Duke Rael didn't include Tures in the training. The reason wasn't anything like sibling affection; Rael simply felt that if he had to go to Tures to get the two elven noblewomen and have them join the training, wouldn't that ruin the chances of getting the two elven girls?

Fortunately, Toures was unaware of all this, otherwise she might have skinned that little bastard alive!

After thinking silently for a while, Lu Ming, realizing that the situation was beyond repair, slumped onto the fluffy pillow in frustration and said, "Since you intend to involve those troops in the training of using and tactically with the thunder gun, I have no choice but to agree."

Then, Lu Ming suddenly changed the subject and said with a smile, "However, I think you wouldn't object to me using them for rehabilitation training, would you?"

"Um... what kind of recovery training?" Upon hearing Lu Ming's words, Grand Duke Feram couldn't help but feel uneasy and asked.

"It's nothing, I've just been lying here for several days now, and my injury is almost healed. If I don't exercise a bit, my body will be ruined, so I wanted to practice with those soldiers to avoid getting injured again on the battlefield because of my physical condition." Lu Ming's answer was very simple, so simple that no one could understand what this so-called rehabilitation training was.

Because they didn't know what Lu Ming meant by "rehabilitation training," Grand Duke Rael and Grand Duke Feram exchanged a glance and said, "As long as you play them to death or cripple them, it's up to you!"

This decision likely stemmed from the two dukes' feeling that allowing Lu Ming and Ramanla to train other troops with Yugsotus was excessive, so they agreed to Lu Ming's request. As long as Lu Ming didn't kill or cripple those soldiers, he could do whatever he wanted with them.

Upon hearing this, Tureston was immediately startled and subconsciously observed a moment of silence for his knights for 0.0001 seconds.

To be honest, she didn't care whether Lu Ming would ruin those knights; right now, all she cared about were the fair-skinned, delicate elf girls! Instead of worrying about those knights, she should think about how to get her hands on those two elf girls.

If Deucalion's knights knew what she was thinking, they'd probably cry themselves to sleep...

Chapter 46 - Training

The day after the two grand dukes handed the troops over to Euglesotus, the soldiers, officers, and even commanders of these troops were subjected to inhumane torture.

So, the soldiers who couldn't use the Thunder Spear, or who lacked faith and therefore couldn't perform miracles at all, received a relatively decent training course. It consisted of standing before the statue of the God of Light, arms outstretched, from morning till night, except they weren't allowed to lower their arms or eat lunch. And if they lowered their arms, they would be struck in the buttocks by a weakened version of the Thunder Spear!

Anyway, there's a white magic barrier set up by the white mages of the Church of Light here, so nothing will happen. Why not use the target to practice your aiming skills?

As for those who were close enough to wield thunder spears, what awaited them was a passionate exchange of thunder spear fire with the knights of Yggdrasil!

Rather than a mere exchange of volleys, it was more accurate to describe Yughsothus unilaterally dominating the other units. Even the weakest member of Yughsothus's cavalry regiment could easily defeat several soldiers from other units!

Such a scene instilled a sense of fear in the commanders of these units.

What they feared was not the brutal training the knights of Euglesotus inflicted on their soldiers, but rather the horror of the training they themselves would face, which they saw through its cruelty.

Because they are commanders, it's impossible for them to be trained by soldiers; it can only be Lu Ming and Ramanlas, who are also commanders, who can train them.

Step by step, Lu Ming, dressed in the Undead Legion armor, walked onto the training ground and glanced at the commanders before saying, "Now, our training is about to begin. But before that, those of you who don't know how to use the Thunder Spear should go stand by the statue."

All the commanders stood still, none of them leaving.

"Very good! Since you can all wield the Thunder Spear, let's begin training." Seeing that the commanders were clearly sweating profusely from nervousness, yet still unwilling to give up, Lu Ming clapped his hands with a smile. He then took out the Bow of Hope, placed some specially made wooden arrows into the quiver on his back, and said with a smile, "Our training is very simple, just pure throwing practice. All you have to do is hit me with your Thunder Spears. As long as you can hit me, you'll pass!"

Suddenly, Lu Ming changed the subject and laughed, "However, I can't just stand here and let you hit me. I'm good at counter-attacking and dodging! In accordance with the principle of not hurting anyone, I won't use the miracle of the god Roya, nor will I use magic or lethal arrows, and I certainly won't engage in close combat with you. But if you think that these arrows without arrowheads and without sharp points are harmless, you're sorely mistaken!"

After saying that, Lu Ming raised his hand and shot an arrow. The arrow exploded with a terrifying sonic boom the moment it left the bow and shot directly into a very thick tree.

Although the arrow didn't emerge from the other side, it embedded itself entirely in the tree trunk! That was quite frightening. Keep in mind, the wooden arrow had no arrowhead. Such archery was practically a curse!

What terrified the commanders even more was that if Lu Ming could shoot such an arrow completely into a tree trunk, he could also shoot an arrow into their bodies! This made them break out in a cold sweat.

"Alright, our training has begun. I hope you all get good results! But don't die, okay?!" Lu Ming didn't even look at the results of his arrows before revealing a terrifying smile and speaking to the commanders!

Upon hearing this, the commanders couldn't help but swallow hard in fright.

However, they were also commanders of their own units, and they couldn't back down to others in front of their soldiers, so they all chose to bite the bullet and go for it!

Seeing this, Lu Ming smiled slightly and said, "Alright! Since you're not afraid of death, then I'll just bury you properly!"

As he spoke, Lu Ming took out three arrows from his quiver and fired a rapid-fire volley.

Seeing Lu Ming unleash such a deadly move right from the start, the commanders were terrified and hurriedly dodged.

But one commander wearing heavy armor was unable to dodge the attack and was sent flying.

After he landed, everyone saw that although he had blocked Lu Ming's arrows with the defense of his enchanted heavy armor, there were dents on his armor, which were obviously caused by Lu Ming's arrows!

If these commanders still had a sliver of hope before, after seeing the commander wearing enchanted heavy armor and still in such a bad state, they had no choice but to exert their utmost strength and attention to attack and dodge, otherwise they would be shot to death and have no way to complain!

At that moment, Grand Duke Rael and Grand Duke Feram happened to come over to check on the training. They happened to see the commanders attacking Lu Ming with all their might, and they stopped to see if they could actually hit the wounded Lu Ming.

As a result, the commanders' performance greatly disappointed them, as they had several opportunities to hit Lu Ming. Each time, however, the lack of coordination between the commanders, and their potential interference with their own comrades during attacks, allowed Lu Ming to easily dodge their attacks and teach them a lesson with his arrows!

In less than ten minutes, Lu Ming had easily taken all the commanders down to the ground.

Looking at the commanders lying on the parade ground groaning and rolling around, Lu Ming smiled helplessly. Then he walked over to the two grand dukes and said, "Grand Dukes, as you can see, these guys still have a lot to learn, so please don't feel sorry for them and let them get carried away."

Upon hearing this, the two dukes' faces darkened, and they said to Lu Ming, "Increase the training intensity! We need them to know the correct way to fight!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Ming immediately smiled happily, while the commanders almost burst into tears.

Due to the orders of the two dukes, Lu Ming sought help from Camias, whose archery skills were quite good, and Ramanlas, who had a decent understanding of thunder spears and giant thunder spears.

After being healed by the priests, the commanders faced a three-on-one combination of Lu Ming, Ramanlas, and Kemias, consisting of two people and an elf. With the two grand dukes watching, they had no choice but to bite the bullet and charge in.

The result of this was that they were easily taken down by Lu Ming and his two companions. Moreover, thanks to the addition of Ramanlas and Kemias, they only stood on the playground for less than three minutes!

Lying on the ground, many commanders groaned, clutching their wounds from the lightning spears and arrows. But a few commanders began to wonder how Lu Ming and his two companions had been able to take them all down so quickly.

Finally, they remembered that when Lu Ming, Ramanlas, and Kemias were fighting them, they didn't just attack relentlessly. Instead, they coordinated to draw fire while launching sporadic attacks from time to time. Moreover, their attacks weren't random; while one person launched the main attack, the other two blocked the target's escape routes, making it impossible for them to dodge even if they wanted to!

Thinking about this, the commanders who were pondering the problem couldn't help but exchange glances, then nodded to each other, struggled to their feet, and prepared for the third battle under the healing of the priests.

Seeing this, Ramanlas couldn't help but laugh and said to Lu Ming, "It seems that the attacks we encounter next will be much stronger than before!"

But Lu Ming said, "If they want to hit me, they'd better practice for a few more months!"

Hearing Lu Ming's disdainful words, the commanders immediately glared at him angrily. Once everyone had been healed by the priests and the priests were far away, they launched another attack on Lu Ming.

Just then, Tures suddenly appeared on the playground, walked up to the two grand dukes, and said, "I have written to almost all the nobles of Erebus. They shouldn't be foolish enough to steal those two female elves."

Upon hearing this, the two grand dukes were immediately annoyed, inwardly roaring, "How could you bring such a thing out into the world?!"

However, Torres quickly added, "Also, Winsland received a letter from Viscount Oberic Hecate of Stix, saying that Stix's 80,000-strong army will arrive tonight. They should be in the nearest city with a teleportation magic station."

"What's going on? Why is it a letter from Viscount Auberick? Hasn't Grand Duke Hecate come?" Grand Duke Raeles asked, his brow furrowed and his expression displeased.

"The letter said that the Duke of Hecate was originally in the army, but he ate the wrong thing on the way and got so bad diarrhea that he almost died. So the two earls who came with the army chained him up and sent him back to Styx by a few night owls."

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

Tures's answer caused Grand Dukes Rael and Ferram to stare at her wide-eyed. They simply couldn't believe that the people of Styx would do such a thing. Weren't those bastards afraid their Grand Duke would fall to his death, freeze to death, starve to death, or die of thirst?!

“I’m not lying to you, that’s exactly what Oberic said in the letter!” Seeing the two grand dukes looking at him, Toures mistakenly thought they thought he was teasing them, so he immediately took out the letter and handed it to the two grand dukes to avoid being in trouble.

The two dukes took the letter and read it, only to find that it was indeed written exactly as stated, leaving them speechless.

On the other side, Lu Ming noticed that they seemed to be talking about something, so he quickly took down all the commanders and then walked towards the Grand Duke and his group.

"What's wrong?" As he approached, Lu Ming saw the two dukes looking speechless and frustrated, and couldn't help but ask.

The three of them said nothing, but simply handed the letter to Lu Ming.

Upon taking a look, Lu Ming was speechless.

"This really is the style of the Styx people..." Because of the magic school incident, Lu Ming, who had interacted with the Styx people for a period of time, held back for a long time before finally letting out a helpless sigh.

After glancing at the contents of the letter, Lu Ming returned it to the two dukes, a letter that made one want to complain, and went back to the training ground to continue training the commanders.

Grand Duke Ye and the others held the letter, looking at him speechlessly...

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

As evening approached, after taking down all the commanders once again, Lu Ming looked up at the sky and saw that the sun was already setting and it was about to get dark.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Ming then said to the commanders who were practically slacking off, "It's already very late, and Styx's army will be arriving soon, so today's training is over. We'll start the second day of training tomorrow!"

Upon hearing this, one of the commanders immediately raised his hand and complained, "While real combat is the best training, we simply can't handle this kind of training! If this continues, we'll all be ruined!"

Lu Ming glared at them with great displeasure and said angrily, "Go say that to the Grand Duke and the others!"

"..." Seeing that Lu Ming didn't care about their complaints at all, and that going to the Grand Duke would likely result in them being hanged by the enraged Grand Duke, they could only reluctantly return to their rooms to rest with the help of the priests.

Lu Ming had already said that Styx's army would arrive tonight, so these people wouldn't be able to get a good night's sleep yet...

After the commanders left, Lu Ming took Ramanlas and Camias back to their room.

But before the three of them could return to their room, Hemphis hurriedly found them and asked them to go to the Grand Duke's place.

Left with no other choice, Lu Ming and the other two followed Hemphis to the room where the Grand Dukes were.

As soon as Lu Ming pushed open the door and entered the room, he found Tures, the old man from the Azkra tribe, and a few commanders who had not participated in the training. Moreover, there were two other people in the room whom he did not recognize at all.

Knowing that Lu Ming didn't recognize the two inexplicably extra people, Hemphis immediately introduced them to him when he saw Lu Ming looking at them.

"These two are Aman Korsaunos and Aman Caltonunos, sent by the royal family to aid us. Their troops are now on their way here together with Stix's army."

Upon hearing that the two people were from the royal family, Lu Ming frowned, somewhat puzzled as to what the royal family meant by this.

Just then, one of the two royal members suddenly spoke up: "Viscount Lu Ming, please rest assured, the royal family has no intention of changing the plan. Our task is simply to bring the army here and, while the plan is being carried out, capture some rare magical beasts for the royal family to raise."

Although the royal member's words and tone were cooperative, Lu Ming noticed the occasional flash of jealousy in his eyes when he looked at Ramanlas, which told him that the royal member harbored ill intentions. He said with some displeasure, "That's for the best. You see, Her Majesty the Queen and the Regent also dislike disobedient members of their own clan!"

"Don't worry, don't worry!" (To be continued...)

Chapter 47 - Greed

Sitting in the room, Lu Ming listened silently to the two grand dukes and the two members of the royal family arguing. He offered no opinion on their various discussions.

However, it was precisely because of his silence and non-participation in the discussion that he was able to glean some insights from the seemingly unthoughtful words of the two royal family members.

These two members of the royal family would always bring up land and territory, intentionally or unintentionally, with greed gleaming in their eyes, clearly harboring unrealistic ambitions to acquire large tracts of land as part of the plan.

However, one thing made Lu Ming somewhat unhappy. The two royal family members had shown a hint of hostility towards Ramanlas, perhaps knowing something. But neither the Regent nor the Queen liked these royal family members and would ever tell these two about the plan.

Therefore, these two members of the royal family were likely used by the elders of the royal clan to limit the power of the Empress and the Regent, and to find ways to make them untrustworthy, so that the ministers and nobles would become suspicious of them. In this way, other members of the royal family could acquire power, instead of having all the power taken away by these two.

But how did the elders of the royal family know about this plan? It couldn't have been the Regent and Her Majesty the Queen who revealed it themselves, could it?

Because he had a question in his mind, Lu Ming, who hadn't spoken for almost two hours, suddenly asked, "You two mentioned the plan from time to time, and seemed to know a lot about it. So, I wonder where you two learned about this plan? I'm personally very curious about it!"

Immediately, the two royal family members became somewhat embarrassed, their mouths agape, unable to utter a single word.

Of course, neither of them could reveal how they knew about the plan. After all, if they did, they would be betraying the people who had helped them, and no one would speak a good word for them in the future.

However, the original plan didn't include them, and their inexplicable appearance here couldn't help but arouse suspicion from Lu Ming, one of the plan's architects. If they remained silent, it implied a conspiracy, and anyone with a cautious nature would blacklist them. Lu Ming, on the other hand, was somewhat impulsive; he might very well kill them!

In other words, it's not right for either of them to say no, nor is it right for them to remain silent!
