At the Gates of Silvermoon City

As the saying goes, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated." Before attacking Silvermoon City, Xiao Yu first logged onto the official forum to check the rankings of various factions in the game.

The various forces in the Sky World are evaluated not only by the Alliance Horde and each race, but also by the various neutral forces, monster forces, and dimensional forces.

Among the many factions in the game, Silvermoon City's ranking isn't actually very high. When it was still the High Elves, its strength was only rated as "[Very Powerful]". Later, the Scourge breached Silvermoon City and massacred many of its inhabitants. Subsequently, it split into two factions: the High Elves and the Blood Elf. A portion of the Blood Elf elites were taken to Draenor by Prince Kael'thas, while the remaining Blood Elves became the current Blood Elf of Silvermoon City. Therefore, Silvermoon City's current rating is only "[Relatively Powerful]", even weaker than the Naga, whom Xiao Yu previously defeated. After this period of recuperation, the Naga's strength rating has risen from "[Relatively Powerful]" to "[Very Powerful]".

Even this current rating of "[relatively powerful]" is probably only given by the system because of the adventurer.

(The order of power ranking, from strongest to weakest, is: unpredictable, Invincible, unbeatable, extremely powerful, relatively powerful, moderately powerful, moderately weak, relatively weak, extremely weak.)

From this perspective, Silvermoon City should be an easy victory, considering that even the Naga were defeated. However, the problem is that the issue of adventurers must be taken into account. After all, adventurers are not included in the strength evaluation. If adventurers were included, the Blood Elf would definitely be the dominant force, as they are the race with the most adventurers in the entire Horde due to their Blood Elf pleasing appearance.

Xiao Yu knew all too well the power of adventurers, so after much deliberation, he finally decided to attack Silvermoon City at 2 AM, just like when he attacked Nightwhisper Village. At that time, most players would have logged off, and the number of adventurers in Silvermoon City would be very limited. Although his Water Elemental players would be fewer, his main force was still NPCs, so the impact would be minimal. Without the help of adventurers, Silvermoon City wouldn't be so daunting, and it shouldn't be too difficult to breach.

Anyway, he didn't plan to occupy Silvermoon City. He just wanted to storm in, grab the Seed of Elements, and run away. He had already checked with the Magic Mirror of True Knowledge, and the Seed of Elements was in a Booty Bay in Silvermoon City.

Seven days passed quickly. After half a month of Enrage an army, with dozens of troop-producing buildings training Water Elemental together, Xiao Yu had assembled an elemental army of over 20,000. Of course, due to the lack of the Path of Whirlpools, he was unable to recruit high-level elemental creatures. His army of over 20,000 included a large number of elemental recruits at levels 20 and 30, whose strength was somewhat lacking. There were only a few dozen BOSS-level elemental creatures at the level of elemental elders, but the number of the Immortals (elite elemental units) had expanded to one thousand.

In addition, he also has the Sgelari and its Hydra Legion, the Dragon Turtle Legion trained at the Turtle Tamer Camp in the Lost Land, and the Shark Rider Legion trained at the Shark Rider Camp, among other subordinate forces.

Fifteen days after capturing the Lost Island, Xiao Yu finally decided to send troops.

The cities of Yarvis City and Hydra City, aside from leaving behind only the necessary defensive forces, practically mobilized their entire forces.

The army crossed the vast ocean and, after a day and a night of trekking, arrived at the outer sea of Silvermoon City on the night of the second day. The sea was covered with a dense array of Water Elemental, a total of 20,000 Water Elemental, divided into four Legion of 5,000 each. The First Legion was composed of Water Elemental.

The Second Legion is composed of sea elements.

The Third Legion was composed of a mix of sea and Water Elemental, with the addition of a certain number of priest units.

The Fourth Legion consists of ice elementals and ice golems.

One hundred hydras stood ready (he had borrowed sixty from the Song of the Ocean). Siren priests, water nymph priests, and ice nymph priests surrounded him, and even Sgelari was pulled out by him, his enormous body serving as his warship.

Hundreds of dragon turtles were also present, acting as landing craft. They not only served as combat platforms but also acted as excellent meat shields.

Hundreds of merman shark riders swam around the army, acting as scouts.

Various driven sea creatures are distributed around the ocean. These sea creatures can not only fight, but also serve as food for hydras, sharks, and dragon turtles when necessary. They are also very important auxiliary forces.

Standing atop the Hydra demigod, looking at the vast army surrounding him, Xiao Yu felt a surge of excitement. Commanding thousands of troops, sweeping across the land and dominating the world—this was the life of a true man! With such a formidable military force, what enemy could possibly be his match? The mere Silvermoon City would surely be submerged before the Elemental Tide.

Seemingly sensing his ambition, his generals came to report one after another.

Poseidon (Elder of the Water Elemental): "The First Elemental Legion is ready."

Water Water Makes You Healthier (Elder of the Sea Element): "The Second Elemental Legion is ready."

Jierte (Ancient Siren): "The Third Elemental Legion is ready."

Avalo (Frost Golem): "The Fourth Elemental Legion is ready."

Agnes (Frost Lurker): "The Immortal Legion is ready."

Sairen (High Priestess of the Siren): "The Hydra Legion is ready."

Little Murloc (Fishman Shark Rider): "The Shark Rider Legion is ready."

Sileiyin (Elder of the Sea Element): The Dragon Turtle Legion is ready.

Water Elemental Wotkud: "My lord, the army is ready and can be mobilized at any time."

Azathoth nodded.

Azathoth (Water Elemental Lord): "Immortal Legion, heed my command! In the name of Azathoth, attack! First Legion, you shall be the vanguard!"

The battle plan had been arranged long ago. Since Silvermoon City is located by the sea, there was no need for a long journey. They could go directly from Sunsail Anchorage and use the Sunfury River to reach Silvermoon City.

At Azathoth's command, seven or eight Water Elemental and sea elemental elders from his the Immortals Council (composed of a dozen or so elemental elders without assigned positions) began casting Tidal Spell together.

The seawater transformed into a massive wave that surged towards the Sunfury River. Thousands of Water Elemental, acting as the vanguard, were propelled forward by the tide. Some reached the beach, while others continued downstream along the Sunfury River. They would serve as the vanguard, heading straight for Silvermoon City.

This tactic was also something Xiao Yu had just developed. He learned it from the Naga Highlord on the Lost Island. Back then, the Naga Highlord used the power of the tides to allow his Naga army to launch rapid attacks. This tactic was obviously also applicable to Water Elemental.

After the First Legion launched its attack, Azathoth followed suit. The battle plan this time was to quickly enter and exit, grab the Seed of Elements, and run. So he was going all out and went in personally. Otherwise, if it dragged on and adventurers logged in, things would be bad. His elemental elders could handle ordinary garrisons, but if they encountered the three giants of Silvermoon City, things would be much more difficult.

Maxierla Morningstar was a Blood Elf sentinel. As a Blood Elf Warrior who hadn't experienced much warfare, he was sent to the ruins of Silvermoon City to deal with the out-of-control Arcane Golem and the Wretched who had lost their minds due to their thirst for magic. To be honest, he wasn't very satisfied with this job. As a young elf who was 'only' 200 years old, his heart was still full of fantasies about adventure and a thirst for glory. When the Scourge swept through Eversong Woods, he was still training in the recruit training camp on Sunstrider Isle, and therefore missed the fierce battle. Whenever he thought about it, he always felt quite regretful.

"If only I had been there!" he always told himself, even though he didn't even know what he could have done there. Execute Arthas? Well, he was naive, but not that naive.

"Hey recruit, any noise around here?" A voice sounded behind him. Maxierla Morningstar turned around and saw Sergeant Kanlei, the outpost commander.

"No, those Wretched have completely disappeared. I guess even they need to sleep," Ailun Mingyi said, suddenly shivering and instinctively shrinking his neck. It seemed a bit chilly tonight. "Sergeant Kanlei, haven't you noticed how unusually cold it is around here tonight?"

"Hmph, young man, you can't even withstand the cold—Achoo!" Before he could finish his sentence, Sergeant Kanlei suddenly sneezed, slapping himself hard in the face.

Ailun Mingyi couldn't help but burst into laughter, but he immediately stopped laughing. The surrounding chill grew stronger, and by the moonlight, he could clearly see the white breath coming out of his mouth. Snowflakes even began to fall from the sky. He looked up at the falling snowflakes, his heart filled with shock.

It's only October now. The warm Eversong Woods, where it usually doesn't get snow until December.

Suddenly, the sound of the tide caught his attention. The two of them looked towards the Sunfury River not far away and saw a line of water, like a wall, pushing up from the sea. The tide seemed to be alive, rushing onto the riverbank and heading towards their outpost. With the Blood Elf's excellent vision, he could clearly see countless Water Elemental hidden within the tide.

"Damn it, enemy attack!" Sergeant Kanlei reacted suddenly, raising the bugle hanging around his neck.

A mournful horn sounded once again, several years after the Scourge's invasion.
