The system gave the wrong traveler

Chapter 282 – Frontline
"I didn't expect that after the Aifa Empire entered Tartarus, it would immediately send out an army to attack us Erebos." On the wall of a small city on the border, Lothric watched the troops slowly gather outside the city. The army of the Aifa Empire sighed slightly, and said to the generals beside them.

"My lord, looking at the actions of Aifa's army, it seems that they are about to attack the city. Look, do you want to go to a safe place to escape?" Seeing that Aifa's army is gathering outside the city, is one of the generals The middle-level general who knew Lothric very well asked worriedly.

"It seems that this general doesn't understand our Earl Losric!" At this time, Lu Ming just climbed onto the city wall, and he couldn't help laughing: "This guy just came back from the battlefield not long ago!"

Looking back, I saw that Lu Ming had brought Lamanlas, Hawkwood, and the other two thousand-man commanders of Yugesotus to the city wall, and there were more than 3000 Yugesotus with them Soldier.

"Too slow!" Lothric said after glancing at Lu Ming lightly.

"No, we are too slow, the Aifa Empire is too fast." Lu Ming walked to Losric and others step by step, watching the soldiers of the Aifa Empire rushing outside the city, and said truthfully.

There are about [-] elves in the army sent by the Aifa Empire to attack the Principality of Erebos.When Yuge Sotus finished gathering and rushed towards the border, that army hadn't been separated from Aifa's large army, but in the end it was Aifa's army that arrived first.

It is obvious that when Aifa's army rushed towards Erebus, they did not rest, but chose to march in a hurry.

And now, for Erebus, it happened to be an opportunity.

Taking advantage of Aifa's army's lack of soldiers and horses, it happened to be a good opportunity to surprise them.Once the surprise attack is successful, the morale of this army can be instantly broken, and the opponent will always be at a disadvantage in the next few confrontations, which is very powerful for the Principality of Erebus.

Just judging from their assembly actions, the elves' army seems to want to launch an attack on the city after a quick march.Such an approach, no matter which country or race it is in, is utter folly.But neither Lu Ming nor Losric believed that the commander of Aifa's army was an elf who could do such a stupid act. The reason why he/she would do this must have some intentions.

But it's a pity that neither Lu Ming nor Lothric are expected to lead troops to fight, so they can't see what the elf commander is thinking.

Moreover, launching a charge at will without knowing the strength of the opponent is very easy to be turned around by the opponent.So there is no need to think about raiding.

However, Lu Ming and Losric were not good at arranging troops, and they would not choose the road of surprise attack.

These two are people who are good at tricks and tricks. It may not be possible for an upright leader to fight, but it is still possible to deal a heavy blow to the enemy with changing methods!

Looking at the army of the Aifa Empire that has basically assembled, Lu Ming raised a hand slightly, and in an instant the magicians in Yugosotus took out their staffs and gathered a lot of magic power ,compression.

After a few breaths, the magician waved Lu Ming's hand vigorously, and shot the magic power that had been compressed to a certain level at Ai Fa's army!
There is no incantation, just the pure application of magic power. Under the hands of the magician of Yugosotus, it is like a magic cannon, destroying everything.

The compressed magic power, like beams of faint blue light, shot into Aifa's army, causing a violent explosion, and also sounded the horn of Aifa's side to launch a siege!

He took out the Bow of Hope, inserted dozens of Moonlight Arrows into the quiver, and then Lu Ming directed the magician to launch another magic bombardment.

Although simple and powerful magic attacks like magic bombardment are constantly pouring on Aifa's army, for the Aifa army with [-] soldiers, such attacks are just to clear some unlucky people. It's just soldiers, and they can't hurt their bones at all.

As Aifa's army got closer, the command of Yugsotus was also handed over to Ramanlas. Lu Ming and Lothric began to attack the elf soldiers with bows and arrows and magic.

"Everyone is ready to attack with lightning guns!!" With a loud shout, Ramanlas took out the amulet and was the first to project the lightning guns at Aifa's army.

As soon as the thunder gun was fired, thousands of thunder guns followed and fell on the heads of Aifa's soldiers.

For some reason, the army in this small border town totaled no more than [-] people, and only two of them were relatively elite troops, one was Yuge Sotus, who was brought together by Lu Ming and Luo Sili, And the other one is a light cavalry regiment led by the confidants of Count Nero Cattolo.

Because they are light cavalry, these people's archery skills are very superb. Like Yuge Sotus' thunder gun, every time their bows and arrows attack, they will take the life of an enemy soldier.

Except for these two armies, which each numbered less than 5000 men, the other armies were basically a patchwork of miscellaneous armies, and their combat effectiveness was not as good as that of Yogzotus and Nero's cronies.

However, even so, Lu Ming and others led more than [-] people and forcibly withstood Ai Fa's army's first attack on the city.And let Aifa's army pay a heavy price.

However, for some unknown reason, both Lu Ming and Losric felt a little uneasy.Not because of anything else, but because of the opponent's attitude of ignoring the wounded on their own side.

"For an hour, they left the wounded and retreated after only an hour of attack. This really doesn't look like they are going to attack the city." Standing on the city wall, seeing that they were still desperately climbing towards the city wall just now, wanted to Fighting desperately with himself and others, Aifa's army suddenly dispersed, Lu Ming frowned while thinking, and said to the other people on the side.

"They probably have some conspiracy, we have to be careful!" Nero's confidant Edsol Mox said after shooting a wounded elf soldier wailing under the city wall with an arrow.

"Could this be a prerequisite for casting some necromancy magic?" Losric suddenly thought of something and asked Lu Ming and Edsall.

"It's possible. After all, these soldiers can't die in vain. They don't have any purpose. I don't believe anything!" Hearing Lothric's question, Lu Ming carefully searched his knowledge of necromancy and found some Many necromantic spells can only be cast after a large number of corpses or the last breath of resentment before dying, so they immediately arranged for the magician and priest of Yugsotus to purify the corpses of the elf soldiers outside the city and their resentment Lose!

Seeing the corpses of those elf soldiers burnt to ashes by flame magic and purified by the magic of the Church of Light, Lu Ming and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
But the next moment, a loud noise suddenly sounded, and a cannonball suddenly fell on the city wall, killing several soldiers of the motley army!

Seeing this, the complexions of Lu Ming and Losric immediately darkened, and they hurriedly ordered the magicians to draw a shield magic circle on the city wall, and use the shield produced by the magic circle to block the shells one by one.

However, the artillery fire of the elves didn't want them to successfully draw the magic circle.

"Damn it! Where did these elves get the cannons! Why didn't the garbage from the intelligence department give us any information about the cannons?!" While using magic to shoot down most of the cannonballs, Lu Ming couldn't help but scolded Miracesa. The crap of the intelligence service!
"God knows, where did these elves get them, the most urgent thing now is to get the magic circle ready!"

Just now they thought they had won the battle, but the next moment they were caught off guard by the enemy, Losric and others were in a very, very bad mood, so while shooting down the shells, Lu Ming, Losric, and some with extremely high range Use distant magic to bombard the location of the artillery of the Aifa army, destroying as many artillery pieces as possible!
But such an attack has no effect on Aifa's artillery battalion.

Because the opponent's artillery was too much, it almost suppressed all the soldiers except Yugsotus, who was a little more elite and could shoot down the shells with magic.

By the time the magicians drew and activated the magic circle, and were able to barely block the artillery fire of the elves, allowing them to continue to draw more magic circles, the defenders had already been bombarded and killed nearly 3000 people by Alfa's artillery.

"What does the intelligence department do?! There are mistakes every time!! What use do we have them for!!" Upon returning to the temporary residential area in the city prepared for the commanders of various armies as a place to discuss strategic deployment, Lu Ming He threw his hat on the table and complained loudly, venting his dissatisfaction with the intelligence department.

In this battle, although it is said that the Aifa Empire suffered a little more losses, what is annoying is that these losses could have been avoided. As long as the intelligence department sent them information in advance, they would have time to advance the magic circle. Get ready so they don't lose so many soldiers out of nowhere.

So it's no wonder that Lu Ming was so angry, and the others were also very angry about it.

However, Lu Ming soon stopped thinking about these things. After all, it is useless to complain about the failure of the intelligence department here.

Sitting in his seat, Lu Ming frowned, thinking of ways.

Soon, Lu Ming set his sights on a low-level officer related to the intelligence department, which made the man startled and mistakenly thought that Lu Ming was going to do something to him, but Lu Ming asked, "What did the Grand Duke promise?" How long will it take for the reinforcements to arrive?"

"Go back to Lord Viscount, it will take three days for Onsos to arrive here."

"Three days? Ha! Three days later, we will have been blown up by the elves' artillery!" Edsall couldn't help but said angrily after hearing the answer from the lower-level officer.

While Lu Ming thought about it, he said: "It will take three days for the 1 people of Onthos to arrive. Deucalion has established a second line of defense behind us, and it is impossible to support us. So we have to rely on ourselves." ?"

Hearing Lu Ming's words, Losric couldn't help asking: "I heard from the soldiers that besides the Duke this time, you also brought Miral Sage and Hernes Unos from your school. Is there any trick? Otherwise, you wouldn't know how to do it."

"Before coming here, the two of them had been developing a new type of puppet soldier with the professors at school, so when I dared to come here, the two of them said they wanted to test the performance of that puppet soldier, so Just followed. I didn’t bring it here!”

"Do you dare to say that you didn't guide them?"

"Heh! Still mentoring, the two of them are notoriously quarrelsome in school, I will mentor the two of them, do I not want to live or what?"

Hearing this, Losric didn't think much and said: "In that case, let them make more of those puppet soldiers as soon as possible. After all, no experiment is as good as actual combat."

"I see."

Seeing Lu Ming talking to Losric, Lamanras was a little surprised. The reason why Milar's puppet soldiers were brought out was because Lu Ming saw that Miral and Henes Their technologies can complement each other, so that the two of them can cooperate as much as possible to be successful.Moreover, many of the concepts are in Lu Ming's notes, that is to say, without Lu Ming, it is impossible for the two of them to complete the development of the new puppet soldiers!

But why did he give all the credit to Miral and Henes?
Lamanlas couldn't figure it out, but she didn't want to expose Lu Ming's lies, because compared to Lu Ming, she was more familiar with Miral.
Just when Laman Lasi was puzzled by Lu Ming's approach, Edsol suddenly said: "Since they have puppet soldiers who can help us turn the situation back to a point where they are powerful against us, why don't they take them both now?" No, please come here?"

After thinking for a while, Losric nodded, and said to a lower-level officer, "Go and invite Mrs. Saqi, the Viscount Lu Ming, and Professor Hernes Unos from the royal family."

"Yes, Lord Earl." Hearing the order, the lower-ranking officer immediately left here, went to the temporary mansion assigned to Lu Ming, and called Milar and Henes.

During this period, Losric asked Lu Ming to ask about the new type of puppet soldiers, but Lu Ming pretended to be stupid and avoided Losric and Edsol's continuous questions.

After about ten minutes, Milar and Henes arrived at the place where Lu Ming and the others were.

Judging from the dirty dirt on their two faces, when the officer found them, the two of them were adjusting the performance of the puppet soldiers.

"Viscount Lu Ming said that you and the professors in the school have independently developed a new type of puppet soldier, and you want to test its performance on the battlefield?" Losric looked at Miral and Henes and asked.

"Yes!" Mirar and Henes nodded slightly and said.

"Since this is the case, after discussing with Duke Ramanlas Unos, the commander of the first line of defense, we decided to let your two puppet soldiers participate in the defense when the elves attack the city next time." In the city battle!"

"Yes!" Upon hearing this, Milla immediately seemed very happy, because once she, the professors, and Henes jointly developed the puppet soldiers and achieved certain combat achievements, she and others would be able to receive rewards and titles.

But at this moment, Edsol suddenly asked Miral: "By the way, did Viscount Lu Ming participate in the development of the puppet soldiers? If he was there, we soldiers could feel a little more at ease." One o'clock!"

"No, my husband did not participate in the development of the puppet soldiers. But please rest assured, the technology of me and Henes is trustworthy!"

Hearing Miral's answer, Lamanlas opened her eyes in disbelief, and Lu Ming's breathing stopped slightly.

Looking at Miral, Lu Ming took a deep breath, as if trying to calm down his unstable mood.
