Wall of Naga

What excited him most was that recruiting players was much easier than he had imagined. As soon as he heard that there was going to be a war with the Naga, a large number of players immediately poured in. In three days, he easily recruited more than two thousand players. However, like his army, the vast majority of players were ordinary monsters.

Unfortunately, elemental creatures in the elite template are vulnerable to plot-driven deaths. So, they can be attacked freely when summoned, but they become timid once enemies invade the Water Elemental Plane.

Because there's no way to kill monsters and level up, players with the Summoning Creatures template can only trigger a little story time and earn some reputation when they're summoned to the Prime Material Plane. Advancing from the Normal template to the Elite template is very difficult for most people, and even fewer can advance to the BOSS template.

These elite and BOSS-type players cherish their characters so much that they often dare not participate in such dangerous operations.

Among them, the elite template players all backed down as soon as they heard about the Maelstrom. Sure enough, the stronger they are, the more cowardly they become. This is not hard to see from the behavior of the Elemental Lords. Even the powerful Elemental Lords dared not take the lead, let alone these elite and mini-boss template players. On the contrary, the ordinary template players, who are not afraid of death and have nothing to lose, joined Xiao Yu's Water Elemental army in large numbers.

These ordinary players didn't have so many concerns. They could participate in big events and had the opportunity to gain reputation, so they eagerly signed up. In three days, they recruited more than two thousand people. The levels of these players varied, with some being over level 50 and many being only around level 10. There were even some players who were only a few levels away, making Xiao Yu's army even weaker. However, the number of the Legion increased to more than five thousand.

Three days later -- Throne of the Tides:

Today is the day of battle. As the saying goes, "When there are more than ten thousand people, there is no end in sight." This army of five thousand elementals is far more magnificent than ten thousand humans.

Looking at the dense army of Water Elemental emerging from the ocean, Xiao Yu nodded in satisfaction. Although the quality was a bit poor, it still looked quite spectacular.

Water Elemental Wotkud: "Master, our army is assembled. What should we do next?"

Azathoth (Water Elemental Prince): "These troops are just cannon fodder. You and your men are responsible for holding the line and minimizing losses. Let these cannon fodder wear down the enemy." Xiao Yu said to his strongest general. Currently, this Water Elemental army has quite a few soldiers, but the number of bosses is pitifully small. There are only five besides himself.

Water Elemental Elder, Wotkud 37 Intermediate Boss Template.

Sairen (High Priestess of the Sea) Level 34 Beginner BOSS Template.

Ximeng (Deep Sea Element) Level 33 Beginner BOSS Template.

Agnes (Frost Lurker) Level 31 Beginner BOSS Template.

These four were his underlings recruited at the Tower of Amalarui, and now they are several generals in this army, responsible for helping him command it. Besides that—

Big Water Cunt (Contaminated Water Elemental): "Hahaha, boss, this is awesome! So many minions! Boss, I admire you so much! Boss, could you send me some more subordinates? I am a BOSS after all!"

Seeing the strange, green Water Elemental in front of him constantly complaining, Xiao Yu was speechless. He had to admit that players sometimes really had a weird style. The solemn and dignified expedition was ruined by this guy.

However, there was no other way. This Big Water Cunt was currently the only BOSS template among the players who had defected to him, so even if he was speechless, he had to accept him. He didn't say anything and started assigning tasks directly.

Azathoth (Water Elemental Prince): "Hmm, next, I will assign positions to you few. Sairen, you will lead the magical forces of all the Siren Priests, Water Priests, and Ice Priests. Your task is to support the troops' attack, but you must be careful to preserve your strength, understand?"

Sairen (High Priestess of the Sea): "I am at your beck and call, Lord Azathoth."

Azathoth (Water Elemental Prince): "Wotkud, you will lead the Water Elemental Legion. Ximeng, you will lead the Sea Elemental Legion and be responsible for facing the enemy head-on."

Ximeng (Deep Sea Element): "Yes, my master."

Water Elemental Wotkud: "As you command, Your Highness."

Azathoth (Water Elemental Prince): "As for you, Agnes, you will lead my personal guard (all elite elemental creatures + the elite troops brought by the four bosses) and travel with me."

Agnes nodded silently.

Big Water Cunt (polluted Water Elemental): "What about me, boss? What about me, boss? And what about me?"

Azathoth (Water Elemental Prince): "Don't worry, your task is very important. Those recruited volunteers (players) also need a leader, so you will lead them. This army is the largest ever, so I hope you can command it well and not let me down."

Big Water Cunt (Contaminated Water Elemental): "Hahaha, boss, don't worry, I'll definitely listen to you, I'll go through fire and water for you!" After saying that, he dashed off towards the players in a trail of bubbles.

Xiao Yu had thought things through very clearly. The elemental army before him was only temporary subordinates. Once this mission was completed, they would naturally no longer be his. So he would use them as they were, as his own the Immortals Legion was the foundation. As for the players, since they could resurrect infinitely, they were destined to be cannon fodder. However, he planned to recruit them into his the Immortals Legion in the future, so he couldn't be too harsh on them. He had to offer them some benefits and make some promises, otherwise it was entirely possible that these players would abandon the mission halfway through.

"Let's go!" With that command, the army sprang into action. Leading this army, whose quality was clearly somewhat lacking, Xiao Yu advanced towards the Maelstrom.

Along the way, three more troops joined his army.

These were the three player bosses we'd agreed on yesterday. They brought quite a few troops, each with five or six hundred Elemental Legion. Although they weren't as impressive as Xiao Yu's army, their quality was quite good, including some boss-level players. Xiao Yu thought to himself, no wonder he hadn't recruited many boss players; these three had all snatched them up. But it didn't matter; he didn't care about these cowards who didn't even dare to leave the Water Elemental Plane.

The three people from the Boundless Sea, as previously agreed, were to act as the vanguard and clear the way ahead. They could still be relied upon before entering the Maelstrom.

Although the Great Sea has the name "Endless," it is actually bounded. The most prominent landmark in the Great Sea is the Maelstrom, which is located at the center of the Great Sea and connects the Prime Material Plane and the Water Elemental Plane, like a wormhole.

However, ordinary Marine Life dares not approach the Maelstrom easily. Once pulled into it, they are likely to be torn to pieces in the Enrage eddies. Only the most powerful sea beasts or Marine Life with powerful magical abilities can pass through the Maelstrom alive. Of course, elemental creatures are not much to fear either.

Even before seeing the Maelstrom, Xiao Yu could already feel its powerful suction. The surrounding ocean currents had changed noticeably, as if being dragged by an invisible hand in an unseen direction.

The scouting siren had already engaged the Naga scouts in battle. Both sides were masters of water, swimming more nimbly than fish. Traces could be seen flashing across the water, left by the scouting siren as they moved swiftly. They used magic to bombard each Naga, entangled in a fierce battle. However, as the Water Elemental army advanced, the Naga scouts quickly retreated. They had completed their mission, having discovered the arrival of the Water Elemental army ahead of time.

However, Xiao Yu was not in a hurry. This battle was originally a grand battle, and it would be almost impossible to launch Cheap Shot in the open ocean.

After the army had advanced for four or five hours, suddenly, a black wall appeared faintly in the ocean ahead.

Look ahead! Through the deep seawater, Xiao Yu could clearly see that it wasn't a wall, but rather a dense swarm of Naga appearing in his field of vision.

These Naga stretched from the surface to the bottom of the water, densely packed in countless layers, resembling a wall. There were probably thousands, or even tens of thousands, of them. If someone with trypophobia saw them, they would likely get goosebumps immediately.

Moreover, within the Naga army formation, there were many enormous sea beasts, Marine Life enslaved by the Naga. Their size was so great that they were even larger than the siren of the Elemental Lords.

No wonder those Elemental Lords didn't dare to step forward; judging from the situation alone, they really weren't going to be easy to deal with.

Xiao Yu felt a Boiling water; this kind of grand spectacle was the most exhilarating.

The players were making gurgling noises, releasing their excitement.

Despite his excitement, Xiao Yu didn't forget to quickly arrange his troops.

Battles in the deep sea are completely different from those on land, but in some ways they are similar to aerial or space battles.

Because the battlefield is completely three-dimensional, some tactics used on land cannot be applied at sea, but Xiao Yu had already prepared for this.

Azathoth (Water Elemental Prince): "Prepare for battle, all of you—hear my command!"

"The Sea Elemental Legion will deploy on the left flank, the Water Elemental Legion on the right flank, and the Volunteer Legion in the center. Let those troops lead the charge. All Legion, form a wall-shaped formation."

The so-called wall-shaped formation is a line of stacked units arranged to resemble a wall. This formation can maximize the advantage of long-range firepower.

"Yes, Master!"

Upon receiving the order, Wotkud, Ximeng, and Big Water Cunt each took their leave, while Xiao Yu went to the three player bosses.
