As if hearing Lu Ming's murmur, Leggett turned around, looked at Lu Ming and Amelia beside him, and said, "Please explain this monster to us!"

“…” Lu Ming chose to remain silent and did not speak.

Amelia, on the other hand, chose to reveal the origins and strength of these monsters.

"These things are made by stuffing the mutilated bodies of undead and ordinary people into iron cages, and eventually forming monsters out of resentment. Although they are not very strong, they are used to disguising themselves as corpses to ambush enemies. If we have to compare them, they are probably about the same as your Tier 1 warriors."

After Amelia finished speaking, Leggett continued, "Although these monsters are weak, if we place them on the battlefield and use them to ambush us, our chances of winning should be greatly increased!"

However, just as Leggett was imagining a future victory for Miracaissa's army because of those caged men, Lecoud's sudden remark shattered Leggett's fantasy.

"What if the enemy becomes wary of these things after the initial ambush?"

"this......"

Nero Catorlos then asked, "Without ranged abilities, how can they possibly fight off the enemy archers?"

"This...this..."

"These things seem to never get back up once they fall, don't they?" Viscount Saldallo pressed on.

Unable to answer any of the three questions in a row, Leggett was so angry that he had no choice but to lead the group deeper into the cave, hoping that the monsters could save him some face.

However, aside from a few armored Lothric knights, the monsters here were mostly trash. They had practically no combat power, unable to even defeat slightly stronger magical beasts, let alone be used on the battlefield.

Even the Lothric knights who hadn't disgraced him had lost most of their sanity due to their ghostly transformation, becoming extremely dangerous and unable to coordinate with Miracaiser's soldiers.

"If this is all you want us to see, we are truly saddened by your intelligence," Count Nerocatello said, sounding somewhat disappointed and displeased.

Upon hearing Nero's question, Leggett immediately roared, "I also possess an exceptionally powerful soldier. I once witnessed an experiment jointly conducted by our Grand Duke and the Grand Duke of Tartarus. It single-handedly defeated two swordsmen and seven gladiators!"

Hearing Leggett say this, the others could only follow him and continue watching.

However, Lu Ming had already pretty much guessed what Leggett was talking about. He could clearly feel the air getting colder.

The deep blue armor, the chilling breath that billowed out with each breath, the snowflakes that kept falling from the sharp blades, and the bestial nature that was no longer human.

Viscount Saldallo was speechless with surprise when he saw the armor that looked familiar and the straight sword that seemed very familiar.

"The Knight of Conquest." After a helpless sigh, Lu Ming took out the Pope's right eye from his pocket and put it on. Then he walked step by step toward the cell where the Knight of Conquest from the Cold Valley was imprisoned.

"Sallyvan is dead. My fellow countrymen of the Irithyll of the Boreal Valley, can you see us reclaim our homeland?" Lu Ming gently placed the protruding object into the cell, resting it on the helmet of the beast that had lost all humanity, calming the raging warrior. Lu Ming asked in a low voice.

"The knights of the Irithyll of the Boreal Valley?" Seeing that Lu Ming was able to calm down the warrior knight who had been wielding his sword like a raging monster, Saldallo glanced helplessly at Leggett, who was already extremely excited.

"Count Leggett, do you know what kind of beings the Farron Undead Legion and the Knights of the Boreal Valley are?" At this moment, Amelia, who was wearing a mask, suddenly asked Count Haven Leggett.

Count Leggett, not understanding what she meant, shook his head and said, "I don't know. What's wrong?"

Upon hearing this answer, Emilia sneered and said, "You're a fake Legget. Where is the real Mira?"

Chapter 40 - Bordeaux of the Irithyll of the Valley

Upon realizing that Amelia had discovered he was not the real Earl Haven Leggett, the fake Leggett's expression immediately changed. He drew his knife and lunged at Princess Ella.

The sudden attack caught everyone off guard, allowing the fake Leggett to reach Princess Ella in just a few steps.

But just as he was about to plunge the knife into Princess Ella's body, Lu Ming, who was far away in the Knights' prison, suddenly appeared between him and Princess Ella, and with a sharp claw, tore the knife into several pieces!

"Dragon Claw".

Lu Ming's sudden appearance startled the fake Legert, who hurriedly retreated.

But by this time, everyone had realized they had been tricked and naturally began to attack him.

Apart from Lu Ming, Artus, Ella, and Amelia, the others brutally beat the fake Legert, even having his neck bitten off by Nero's big dog!

"Lu Ming of the Irithyll of the Boreal Valley truly lives up to his title as the Lord of Cinder of the Farron Undead Legion. Such speed, and such immense strength even without weapons, truly makes me yearn to have the rest of the Undead Legion!" At this moment, the real Earl Legert's voice rang out from all directions.

"Is this a trap or a trial?" Lu Ming muttered to himself as he glanced at the severed limbs in a corner of the cell in the basement that no one else had noticed.

"I believe you all know that the nobles and royalty of Miracaissa have a secret plan. I won't go into what that plan is here. After you survived that guy's hammer attack, someone will naturally tell you part of the plan. Don't think that this plan is as simple as it appears on the surface!"

No sooner had Leggett finished speaking than Count Artus Lecorde immediately said to the crowd, "Everyone be careful, this guy doesn't know what kind of tricks he's up to!"

However, no sooner had he finished speaking than a dark portal appeared on the wall in the distance.

A gigantic beast, wielding a massive iron hammer and clad in frost-like blue armor, crawled out of the portal step by step, letting out a roar at the crowd.

"Another knight from the Boreal Valley?" Saldallo asked Lu Ming beside him with some trepidation as he looked at the enormous beast.

"Bordeaux?" With just one glance, Lu Ming recognized him as Bordeaux from the Boreal Valley, the second boss in Dark Souls 3.

"Everyone be careful! This guy is a mad butcher!" Knowing that most of the people here were no match for the War Knight, Lu Ming shouted to the others as he and Atus led Princess Ella back.

"Roar~~!!!" As if in response to Lu Ming's words, Bordeaux let out a roar and casually smashed the obstructing cell and the monster inside with a hammer.

"Firestorm Beast, Flame Burst!!" Because the Conqueror Knight was of the Frost attribute, Artus immediately ordered his Firestorm Beast to unleash a pillar of fire at Bordeaux.

But the moment he saw the pillar of fire shooting towards him, Bordeaux unleashed a white beam of light, blocking the flames.

The power of this white light was so great that it even slowly froze the flames emitted by the Firestorm Beast!

"Bellatrix, Sunshine and Solar Flare!" Knowing that he couldn't leave this place without defeating Bordeaux, Lu Ming immediately shouted to Bellatrix while Bordeaux was locked in a stalemate with the Firestorm Beast. At the same time, he also unleashed a Dark Pulse at Bordeaux.

Typhlosion is a Fire-type Pokémon, and Sunny Day is a move that can boost the power of Fire-type moves. Therefore, after Vileplume used Sunny Day, Typhlosion's Flamethrower immediately suppressed Bordeaux's Ice Beam. Meanwhile, Vileplume's Solar Beam and Lu Ming's Dark Pulse directly interrupted its move casting, resulting in it being hit by Flamethrower!

However, even under the scorching heat of the flames, Bordeaux didn't utter a single scream. His only injury was caused by the Sunfire of the Queen of the Sea. Neither the flame projections nor the Dark Pulse had caused him any harm.

"This guy is amazing!" Many people couldn't help but exclaim as they watched Bordeaux remain unharmed despite being hit by three different skills.

This situation was proving to be quite troublesome for everyone. Aside from the fact that they were in a cramped basement, the monsters imprisoned in cells around them prevented them from acting freely. After all, accidentally releasing them would only create more trouble for themselves.

"Tell me, do you have any weapons or anything?" Since he had no weapons, Viscount Saldallo couldn't help but look at Lu Ming, hoping that he could produce some weapons.

Unfortunately, Lu Ming didn't bring any weapons, and he didn't plan to take out his phone. However, the weapons of the Lothric Knights in the cell seemed to be of some use.

While Artus was directing the battle between the Firestorm Beasts and Bordeaux, Lu Ming used his dragon claw to cleave open the cell where two Lothric Knights were imprisoned. After having the Tyrant Flower use a Sleep Powder to put them to sleep, he stole their shields and longswords.

Lu Ming tossed a Lothric Knightsword to Zaldalor, gave the shield to Nero and Artus, and carried only the Lothric Knightsword himself.

"Don't the Undead Legion need shields?" As Artus Lecord took the Lothric Knight Shield and commanded the Tyrannosaurus, he couldn't help but complain about Lu Ming.

Upon hearing this, Lu Ming frowned and said, "You're still in the mood for jokes? Be careful you don't get smashed by Bordeaux!"

Although nothing seemed amiss on the surface, Lu Ming harbored a slight suspicion towards Count Artus Lecord. After all, how did he know that the Undead Legion didn't use shields?

Only Sham and the others, as well as Archbishop Tut of the Church of Light, knew about this; Lu Ming had never told anyone else.

But now is not the time to think about these things; Bordeaux hasn't surrendered yet!

Lu Ming lightly swung his Lothric Knight's Sword a couple of times and murmured softly, "I hope the weapon doesn't break again."

After saying that, Lu Ming flashed and suddenly appeared behind Bordeaux, slashing Bordeaux's buttocks with his straight sword, which was wrapped in flames!

"Roar~!!" Lu Ming's sudden attack caused Bordeaux to scream in pain, and he hurriedly turned around and swung his hammer at Lu Ming.

However, due to the accelerated effect after the Nitro Charge attack, Bordeaux couldn't hit Lu Ming at all, and was instead hit several more times by Lu Ming with the Nitro Charge.

If it were a boss like Sully, who wields a greatsword and a super-greatsword as fast as a straight sword, Lu Ming might not dare to be so arrogant. But with a slowpoke like Bordeaux, Lu Ming has absolutely nothing to fear.

With lightning speed and a sharp blade, Lu Ming unleashed a unique swordsmanship technique derived from wolf blood while attacking. This forced Bordeaux into a desperate retreat, forcing him to resort to reckless charges to evade Lu Ming's attacks.

"Beast, use all your strength to stop it!" During one of its rampages, Bordeaux charged directly in his direction, leaving Artus Lecode with no choice but to give the order to the beast.

"Roar~!!" The Firestorm Beast roared, and then its whole body flashed with a faint glow as it forcefully used its enormous strength to block Bordeaux, which was more than twice its size.

"Fang of Fire!" Artus Lecord shouted immediately when he saw Bordeaux being stopped by the Firestorm Beast.

Upon receiving the command, the Firestorm Beast immediately opened its massive jaws, revealing its sharp teeth. The next moment, flames suddenly erupted from its teeth, and the Firestorm Beast snapped its jaws into Bordeaux's neck.

But after being hit by the Fire Fang, Bordeaux suddenly grabbed the Firestorm Beast by the neck, lifted it up, and threw it away viciously.

It smashed a large crater in the ground, and the Firestorm Beast was temporarily unable to stand up again to continue its battle with Bordeaux.

However, at this moment, Lu Ming suddenly climbed onto Bordeaux's body at a speed that was difficult for the naked eye to follow, and stabbed the burning Lothric Knight Sword into Bordeaux's head, killing it instantly!

"Ha~ha~ha~" After catching his breath, Lu Ming pulled the knight's sword out of Bordeaux's head.

He jumped down from Bordeaux's body and cautiously glanced around at the others. He saw that, apart from Amelia, whose face was obscured, everyone else looked surprised.

"We'd better get out of here now." Seeing that the group hadn't spoken yet, Lu Ming spoke first.

Saldallo nodded slightly and said, "Indeed, because that knight has been rampaging around here, this place might collapse!"

After saying that, Saldallo and Nero led Princess Ella ahead towards the exit of the basement.

So everyone left the basement, including Artus, who led the injured Tyrant Beast away.

Lu Ming and Amelia were the last to leave the basement, as it took them a little while to retrieve the Irithyll Straight Sword from the Conquering Knight and a strange temple book from a broken cell.

As soon as Lu Ming stepped out of the basement, he saw the other people who had already come out of the basement standing respectfully beside a young man, including Princess Ella.

"This is His Highness the Third Prince from the capital!" Fearing that Lu Ming might not recognize the young man, Saldalo specially introduced him to Lu Ming.

Unfortunately, when Lu Ming bowed to the Third Prince, the Third Prince didn't even look at Lu Ming, but instead chatted very politely with Amelia.

This made Lu Ming a little angry, and Saldallo and Ella didn't know what to say.

"Guests who have come from afar, please allow me, the host, to treat you well!" Unlike Lu Ming's cold treatment, the Third Prince was very polite to Amelia.

As if it were a cruel twist of fate, Amelia was just as cold to the Third Prince as she was to Lu Ming; to even glance at him was an insult.

Amelia ignored the Third Prince and turned to look at Lu Ming.

"Lord Lu Ming, everyone in Longdor is eagerly awaiting your arrival. We hope that when we meet again, you will be able to see the truth about the furnace."

After saying that, Amelia quickly left the mansion.

Watching Amelia's retreating figure, the Third Prince was furious, but dared not utter a word because of Rondor's terrifying presence. In the end, he could only turn and leave. (To be continued.)

Chapter 41 - The Immortals and Londor

Late at night, the real Count Leggett stood in a secret room and said to Miracaissa's third prince, "Your Highness, your rudeness to Baron Lu Ming today was utterly wrong!"

"He's just a baron, what's right or wrong about that? It's just that that woman from Rondor dared to disrespect me, it really infuriates me!"

Leggett glanced at the furious Third Prince and sighed inwardly. This Third Prince was sent by the Miracaisa royal family to assist in the plan, but unfortunately, compared to Amani, this bastard son, he was far inferior. He was utterly useless.

Although the Third Prince was practically useless, Leggett still devised a way to use him. So, he pretended to be a patient mentor and asked the Third Prince, "Do you know anything about the Undead Legion?"

"Never heard of it. Is it some kind of undead force?" The Third Prince shook his head blankly.

"The Undead Legion has a famous Abyss Watcher, a small but exceptionally terrifying army in Farron Keep!"

"Why? If there aren't many of them, then they should be very weak!"
