The wrong transmigrator assigned by the system

So when Yggdrasil began conscripting elven soldiers, this group of elves was the first and fastest to respond, volunteering to become Yggdrasil's soldiers and fight for the kingdom of Miracaiser on the very same day. Of course, most of them were just there to fill their stomachs.

When conscription ended, Yggsotus had recruited approximately five thousand soldiers, of whom humans, beastmen, and half-elves comprised only one-thirtieth of the total number of soldiers!

At first, these elven soldiers thought they were cannon fodder, so they gave the food given to them by the knights of Yggdrasil to their families. They were then overjoyed to discover that they were actually guerrilla knights used to harass the enemy flanks, not cannon fodder at all. They had originally planned to give their lives for a few months' worth of food and clothing for their families, but now they realized they wouldn't die anyway.

With a little caution and a bit of luck on the battlefield, they could survive. And with a little effort, they could earn military merit, become officers, and receive better treatment. This was something they had never dared to dream of before, but now it was actually happening to them, making them fight wholeheartedly for Miracaissa.

Soon after several simple battles, two elves were promoted to centurions due to their bravery in battle and their strong command abilities, serving under Camias. It is worth mentioning that one of these two elven centurions was not a commoner, but rather the daughter of a minor nobleman in a city occupied by Lu Ming and his group, named Trissimmetz.

As a noblewoman, her choice to join the army of the enemy nation of Yggdrasil surprised many, but to Lu Ming, it was perfectly normal. Her mother intended to side with the Kingdom of Miracaisa, so Trissis was her mother's way of informing Lu Ming and the others of her own intentions.

This action pleased Lu Ming and the others, so her mother became one of the few Aifa nobles who were not imprisoned by Miracaesar's army.

Riding on horseback, Trissis and another elven centurion, Ifratmorets, led their army to the northernmost point of the battlefield, where they watched as the knights of Yogsotus defeated a stubbornly resisting elven army with their thunder lances.

"What are your thoughts on seeing your country's army defeated by another country's army, Trisis?" After Yogsotus's knights captured all the remaining elven soldiers, Ifrat suddenly asked Trisis for no apparent reason.

Upon hearing this, Trissy glanced at Ifrat indifferently and sneered, "You want to lie to me so you can go and complain to Lord Lu Ming and the others?"

“How could that be! At the end of the day, I’m still just an elf. I can’t do something like this.” Ifrat shook her head with a smile, then added, “Besides, there are only us elves here now, and no Miracaesar soldiers are here. What harm is there in talking about it?”

"Hmph! I bet you didn't get what you wanted after being slept with by that guy, did you?"

"Sigh! Don't even mention it. That person was a member of the royal family, yet he was so heartless and didn't say a single good word for me. Now, my standing among the soldiers has plummeted! If I had known things would turn out like this, I would have gone to Lord Lu Ming."

"When you say that, don't you even look at yourself? General Camillas and Miss Catherine, aren't they both more beautiful than you? Why would the master accept a greedy person like you?"

"I may be driven by greed, but I'm not bad-looking! Besides, it's not like you nobles are the ones who are responsible for my greed!"

"Humph!"

Watching their two centurions bickering, the soldiers were speechless. But just then, several of Lu Ming's personal guards rode up and said to Trissy and Ifrat, "Centurions, Lord Lu Ming wants to see you. It seems he has a mission!"

Upon seeing Lu Ming's personal guards approaching, Trissy and her companion immediately stopped arguing to avoid being reprimanded. When they heard that Lu Ming was looking for them and had a mission, they immediately cracked their whips, mounted their horses, and galloped off towards Lu Ming and his men.

Because they were taking pictures so quickly, they kicked up dust, causing Lu Ming's personal guards to choke on the dust and cough repeatedly.

Watching the two women, Trissy and Trissy, run off into the distance, they exchanged a glance and asked each other, "Do they know where Lord Lu Ming is?"

They all shook their heads.

The leading knight immediately roared, "Then hurry up and chase them!? They've gone to the wrong place!!"

Upon hearing this, the elven soldiers were speechless, thinking to themselves that their commander was truly 'blinded by greed'!

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

Standing in the military tent, Lu Ming, Ramanlas, Camillas, and Toures and Haimir of Deucalion were planning the next marching route and the fastest way to reach the mission objective.

At this moment, one of Lu Ming's personal guards suddenly entered and reported to Lu Ming and the others: "Your Excellency, reinforcements have arrived, numbering five thousand, and are already stationed in the city we previously captured. However..."

"But what?" Seeing the guard hesitate, Lu Ming frowned and asked.

"But Lady Winslant is also among the reinforcements, and she's with a member of the royal family!"

“Winslant and another member of the royal family?” Lu Ming was taken aback when he heard the guard’s words, but he quickly recovered and said to the guard, “Send someone to find the commander of that army and tell him to leave two thousand soldiers in the city and bring the rest over. Also, have Winslant and that member of the royal family come over.”

"Yes, sir!" Upon hearing the order, the guard knight immediately went to carry it out.

After he left the military tent, Lu Ming immediately looked at the bastard who had led an army of three thousand men to follow him, did almost nothing, and even slept with his centurion.

Seeing Lu Ming looking at him, Aman Korsa, who had been living off Lu Ming with three thousand men, immediately said, "That person is definitely not Aman Carlton. He must have been sent by Her Majesty the Queen!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Ming snorted coldly and said, "That had to be the case!"

Given the fighting strength of Yggdrasil and Deucalion, if it weren't for that bastard Amankorsa and his three thousand-plus freeloaders, they would have already reached the target location by now. Why would they be stuck in this godforsaken place? They need to find a way to reach the target location as quickly as possible while minimizing their losses.

Sometimes, just thinking about how Aman Korsa and his army had slowed his army's offensive pace to an unimaginable degree, Lu Ming wanted to kill the bastard with his sword. But the problem was, this bastard was a member of the royal family. Killing him would be easy, but it would likely incur royal retaliation. Furthermore, it might affect his subsequent plans. Therefore, he couldn't kill this bastard for the time being.

"Tracy and the others have arrived." Just as Lu Ming was furious about yet another member of the royal family appearing out of nowhere, Camillas saw Tracy and Ifrat being brought over by several of Lu Ming's personal guards and couldn't help but remind them.

Upon seeing Trissy and Ifrat, the two centurions, enter the military tent, Lu Ming immediately handed them a map and said, "Starting tomorrow, we will be advancing at full speed towards Terra Canyon, so I need you to hold back the small enemy forces along the way, so that our main force will not be distracted by these enemies!"

"Yes, sir! We guarantee to complete the mission!" Upon hearing the order, Trissis and Ifrat immediately responded.

"Remember, your mission is just to hold them off, don't engage the enemy army in direct combat! If you encounter any troublesome enemies, immediately run back to the main force, we'll take care of those guys!" Lu Ming reminded the elves Trisis and Ifrat, then pointed at Amankorsa and said, "That bastard will be leading his three thousand men to complete the mission with you. But with their combat strength, you two better not expect them to be able to help you deal with the enemy!"

"Uh..." Hearing Lu Ming indirectly calling him a good-for-nothing, Aman Korsa was extremely frustrated, but he couldn't bring himself to prove himself through real combat achievements. So this royal member, who was only interested in gaining benefits through intrigue and framing, could only sit there in frustration and let Lu Ming talk about him.

However, Lu Ming didn't bother to say anything to him. He only mentioned that he would also be tasked with containing small enemy units, and then stopped talking about it.

Holding the map, after carefully examining the location of the small enemy force they needed to contain, as well as the marching route of their main force, Trissis asked, "My lord, is this all the enemy force we need to contain?"

Hearing that Trissy seemed to think the mission was too easy, Lu Ming chuckled and pointed at her twice with his finger, saying, "You better take this seriously. Those guys are special forces released from the regular army, not the ragtag troops you encountered before! Even we would have fought them for ages to defeat them. So if I hear any news of you being defeated because you underestimated them, watch out, I'll make sure all three of you get shot!"

Upon hearing this, Trissis, Ifrat, and Amankorsa, who had been inexplicably assigned there, immediately stood up straight and shouted, "Yes! Rest assured! We will not underestimate our enemy!" (To be continued...)

Chapter 51 - Marching into Terra Canyon

On August 3, after joining up with Winsland's three thousand reinforcements, Euglestus and Deucalion began their full-scale advance toward Terra Canyon.

Any enemy forces they encountered along the way were defeated one by one by their terrifying barrage of lightning strikes. Almost no Aifa army with fewer than 20,000 soldiers was capable of fighting them. Therefore, they encountered virtually no resistance along the way, and their march proceeded very smoothly.

But how could the Aifa Empire, one of the two powerful empires, not have a decent army?

Near a forest less than ten kilometers from the Terra Canyon, Lu Ming and his companions encountered the first powerful army they faced after entering the territory of the Aifa Empire. It was the Forest Eye, a force of fifty thousand soldiers!

While this army wasn't as powerful as the ones that had previously invaded Miracaiser, it was still a formidable regular army. Despite enduring a hail of bullets, the Eye of the Forest displayed the strength expected of a regular army, holding its own against Lu Ming's forces. They effectively tied down Lu Ming's main force, preventing them from capturing Terra Canyon.

Faced with this disgusting situation, Lu Ming and the others were extremely frustrated. However, in the open field battle with this regular army of the Aifa Empire, the units of Yugsotus, Deucalion, and others had not suffered any major losses, which was already a pretty good situation. Therefore, they were now thinking about how to defeat the Eye of the Forest, this Aifa army, and march towards the Terra Canyon, rather than how to retreat safely.

In order to defeat the enemy, Lu Ming and his team chose to fight a protracted war of attrition against the Eye of the Forest.

By utilizing miracles and magic, and engaging in prolonged battles with the Eye of the Forest, they can slowly deplete the number of the Forest's soldiers and ultimately achieve victory.

Although this approach is somewhat dishonorable, it is a highly effective method. At least using this method, they have already decimated a third of the Forest Eye's soldiers. Once the enemy's numbers are reduced to the same level as their own, they can launch a full-scale attack and defeat the Forest Eye head-on.

Standing on the edge of the battlefield, Lu Ming used magic to watch the knights and the soldiers of the Eye of the Forest exchange fire with lightning spears and arrows.

Beside him, Toure was complaining that this was not the correct way to use cavalry; they should be charging now, not exchanging fire with the enemy like this!

However, neither Lu Ming, Winslant, Ramanlas, nor Kemias paid her any attention. Charging now was no different from throwing their lives away; it was better to slowly wear them down than to die!

"Stop messing around! Now is not the time for you to lead the knights into battle! When the time is right, you can charge however you want!" Unslander, annoyed to no end, couldn't help but step in to stop him, but Torres continued his antics.

Seeing that Winsland had spoken, Toures had no choice but to obediently sit back down in his seat, looking at Lu Ming and the others watching the situation at the front line with a displeased expression.

"I just don't understand. Didn't we defeat many Aifa armies before? Why are we being so cautious now? And why is that Aifa army not afraid of our invincible reputation along the way, and fighting us without any scruples?" After watching his Miral commanding at the front line through the magic device, Tures asked Lu Ming and the others with some doubt.

"The armies we encountered before were all ragtag groups, composed of militia and private armies of minor nobles. Their combat strength was very poor, and their weapons and equipment were uneven, so we were able to defeat them very easily. But the army we are currently fighting is the standing army of the Aifa Empire. They don't go home to farm; their only job every day is training. Soldiers trained like this are naturally not bad. It's normal that they have high combat strength and are not afraid of thunder and gunfire! You know, these elves, besides fighting, only know how to train!"

The person who answered Tures was Taldarimus Unos, a member of the royal family who had joined Lu Ming and the others with Winsland. He was the Regent and Her Majesty the Queen's cousin, and also the most capable fighter in the royal family. He had come to gain some military merit in this battle so that he could rightfully govern one of the two newly formed island groups in R'lyeh in the future.

He was a confidant of the Queen and the Regent, and one of the two island principalities that had just been incorporated into the Kingdom of Miracaisar had already been tacitly granted to him.

As the designated future Grand Duke, Taldarimus differed from his cousins ​​Amankolza and Amancaldon. He was upright, ambitious, and willing to prove himself. He was also willing to exchange military achievements for land, the favor of his cousins, and the support of the Wolf Pack Council. He wanted to use his abilities to prove that he was capable and qualified to obtain his seemingly insignificant duchy on the high seas, silencing all those who disagreed with him.

His personality, so different from that of Aman Korsa and the other two, quickly allowed him to integrate into Lu Ming and the others, gaining him a certain degree of influence.

In addition, the three thousand soldiers that Winsland brought were also soldiers sent to Taldarimus by the Queen and the Regent, so he also had command authority over the troops here. However, he could only command the three thousand or so men he brought.

Hearing Tadalimus's explanation, Tures thought about it carefully and couldn't help but think it was possible. After all, the fighting power of the standing army was much higher than that of the militia, even in Miracaissa!

But she immediately followed up with, "When can we start charging at them? If this drags on, their reinforcements will be arriving soon!"

Lu Ming stroked his chin, adjusting the screen on the magic device. When the image switched to showing soldiers shooting arrows from the Eye of the Forest, he quickly counted the enemy's numbers, then turned to Tures and the others, saying, "In three hours, begin the full-scale charge! This ten-plus hours of fighting has finally brought us a chance for victory!"

Upon hearing Lu Ming's words, Tureston immediately became excited and ordered his personal guards to have the assault team, who had rested long enough, start a fire, cook, and eat their fill, waiting for their turn to appear!

However, at this moment, Ramanlas asked Lu Ming and Kemias with some doubt, "Why don't we just wear them down like this? Why choose to charge and put our soldiers in unnecessary danger?"

"The elves aren't fools. They know our goal is to occupy and blockade the Terra Canyon, which is why they chose to fight us here. And because most of their soldiers are infantry and archers, unsuitable for fighting cavalry, they obediently exchange fire with us. But when they realize they are doomed to defeat, they will definitely choose to retreat to the Terra Canyon and join the militia there to fight us." The one who answered her was Camias, the elf who knew the elven methods best.

However, her explanation did not dispel Ramanlas's doubts; instead, it raised another question.

"Then why don't they just stand there and fight us alongside the militia?"

In response to Ramanras's question, Camillas sneered and said, "Because they are arrogant!"

"arrogant?"

“They are a standing army, and their weaponry and combat skills are several times better than those of ordinary militia. Therefore, they look down on the militia with low combat effectiveness and poor weaponry, and they are unwilling to share their spoils with them. So, as you can see, they would rather fight alone and engage in firefights with us for more than ten hours than fight alongside those militia!” As she said this, a faint hint of self-mockery flashed in Kemias’s eyes, causing Lu Ming and the others to fall into silence.

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

Relying on the miracles of Thunder Spear and Sunlight Healing, Lu Ming and his soldiers consumed countless alchemical potions and, over a period of more than thirteen hours, forced the enemy to fight back by exchanging fire, killing nearly half of their soldiers and giving their comrades the opportunity to charge the enemy with all their might!

By this time, they had suffered nearly three thousand casualties.

Although the Sun Healing technique possesses an unimaginably powerful restorative miracle, it cannot revive those who die instantly from a fatal arrow wound to a vital area like the head. Therefore, these three thousand-plus individuals were victims who died before the miracle could even be used, having been struck in vital areas by Aifa's soldiers.

However, it was precisely because of the valiant fighting of more than three thousand people that others had the opportunity to completely defeat the Forest Eye army.

After confirming that the number of enemy soldiers capable of engaging in close combat was comparable to that of their own, Lu Ming, Ramanlas, and Winsland immediately ordered the entire army to launch an attack on the Eye of the Forest!

Thus, Torres, who had been waiting impatiently for some time, immediately mounted his warhorse, drew his sword, pointed it in the direction of the Eye of the Forest, and shouted, "Charge!!"

Immediately, almost all the cavalry charged in that direction. In an instant, the ground shook and the sound of hooves thundered.

The simultaneous charge of 25,000 cavalry was incredibly frightening; an ordinary person would be terrified at the mere sight of it. However, the soldiers of the Eye of the Forest were completely different. One by one, they threw down their bows and arrows, picked up their spears, and stood in rows, ready for battle.

They formed a square formation, pointing their spears at the knights of Miracath, ready to show the people of Miracath the power of the elven warriors and their loyalty to the elven queen!

Seeing the soldiers of the Eye of the Forest forming a square formation, Lu Ming, who was also in the charging ranks, slightly curled the corners of his mouth. He raised the Aries Staff high and fired a Soul Spear without saying a word, directly hitting several Aifa soldiers in the square formation and killing them instantly.

However, just as a few soldiers were killed here, several more soldiers immediately filled in their positions, and the positions of the knowledge and weapons were almost exactly the same as those of the elven soldiers that Lu Ming had killed earlier!

Upon seeing this, Lu Ming was taken aback, inwardly praising the Forest Eye's rigorous training, which was enough to train soldiers to this level, making him quite envious. But praise was one thing, and fighting was another.

As one of the first to charge into the enemy ranks, Lu Ming swung his Aries Staff the instant he entered the fray, unleashing a powerful strike with his Farron Swift Sword, instantly felling several Aphrodite soldiers who were attacking him.

Furthermore, after charging into the formation, he unleashed several Soul Spears and Vortex Soul Blocks, wounding and killing the surrounding Aifa soldiers, preventing them from getting close to Lu Ming. They could only watch helplessly as Lu Ming killed their comrades with spell after spell.

Thus, in a short time, Lu Ming became the person who killed the most enemy soldiers after launching the charge.

But he was soon overtaken by Ramanlas.

Ramanras, of insectoid descent, possesses four arms. Aside from the one holding the reins, the other three wield blades. Each swing slices through the armor of the Aifa soldiers, cleaving their bodies in two. Not to mention, one of these weapons is the Blue Flame Sword, which can be used as a magical catalyst.

In just a few minutes, she killed nearly thirty or forty Afar soldiers, leaving the others far behind.

Seeing this, Camias, Tures, and Tadarimus were not to be outdone, and they all fought with all their might on the battlefield. This made the soldiers of the Eye of the Forest wonder if these enemy commanders had some kind of grudge against them!

Regardless of everything else, after killing several enemy soldiers with his Farron Quicksword, Lu Ming charged towards the location of the Forest Eye's commander, leaving his troops and the enemy forces entirely to Ramanlas and his companions.

Seeing Lu Ming charging towards them, the commander of the Eye of the Forest sneered, picked up a long spear crackling with lightning, spurred his horse, and charged towards Lu Ming.

Before the enemy could reach him, Lu Ming raised his hand and fired a Soul Spear, aiming directly at the elven commander's forehead.
