Blood Knight Lord Liadrin
As the Blood Elf fleet drew ever closer in the distance, Xiao Yu fell into deep thought.
It must be said that Xiao Yu was quite frustrated when he was defeated in Silvermoon City. However, on the other hand, things also made him realize something. In the end, because things had gone too smoothly for him recently, he had become somewhat arrogant. Easily defeating the Naga army gave him a sense of invincibility. So he dared to attack Silvermoon City with 20,000 Elemental Legion. This was something that other monster forces would not even dare to think about. This was not the kind of suicidal attack that the Defias Brotherhood Rampage in Stormwind City, which only sought influence and not results, nor was it the kind of terrorist attack that the World-Destroying Dragon Clan carried out with a hit-and-run. This was a head-on confrontation with the main city's garrison of a faction. It was unbelievable to even think about, but he actually did it.
The result, though frustrating, was somewhat expected. With his current strength, he was still unable to contend with the faction of a race, especially one that adventurers could choose to join.
After all, every race that can be chosen by adventurers has its own glorious history, with many talented people and heroes everywhere. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that heroes are everywhere.
Moreover, the system would never easily allow the main city of such a race to be destroyed, or even severely damaged.
Furthermore, the fact that Horde support each other makes success extremely difficult.
So this defeat, however, brought him to his senses.
Seeing the Blood Elf fleet rush out of the port and chase after the Water Elemental army, he did not rashly order his men to attack and engage them.
That's right, we could probably win if we started fighting now, but it wouldn't make much of a difference. The enemy is so close to the port that if we lose, we can retreat back to the port immediately. We can't just land again and fight them again. At most, we'd only gain some reputation, which wouldn't be very beneficial and would only further deplete our forces.
But if we can lure them out—
With this thought in mind, Xiao Yu had already come up with a brilliant plan. If it could be successfully implemented, he could not only avenge the arrow wound from the previous night, but also achieve his goal of seizing the Seed of Elements.
He looked around. At this moment, their location was surrounded by a thick fog, a strategic magic used to conceal the army's movements. It had been released yesterday to cover the landing operation, but it hadn't been very effective and was about to dissipate. However, it had now become the key to Xiao Yu's plan's success. The Blood Elf obviously couldn't see through their disguise, and this was precisely the key to Xiao Yu's plan's success.
Azathoth (Water Elemental Lord): "Dragon Turtle Legion, Shark Rider Legion, Hydra Legion, Immortal Legion! Retreat! Retreat all the way to the open sea to ambush them. Once I lure the enemy there, you will rise from the left and right simultaneously and surround them."
Agnes (The Frost Lurker): "Yes, Your Majesty, great Lord Azathoth."
Sairen (High Priestess of the Sea): "As you command, my lord."
Little Murloc (Fishman Shark Rider): "It is my honor to serve you."
Sileiyin (Elder of the Sea Element): "Yes, my lord."
The four men leading the groups agreed and began their retreat with their troops.
Azathoth (Water Elemental Lord): "Third and Fourth Elemental Legion, all of you, sink to the bottom of the water. Once the Blood Elf fleet passes through here and enters the encirclement, you immediately surface and block their path from behind."
Jierte (Ancient Siren): "Yes, my master."
Avalo (Frost Puppet): "Yes, my lord."
Two intact Elemental Legion began their descent.
Azathoth (Water Elemental Lord): "Sgelari, you should go with them too. Follow my orders."
The enormous hydra demigod nodded silently and sank into the sea.
In the blink of an eye, most of the once mighty army had retreated and disappeared, leaving only two crippled Elemental Legion led by Xiao Yu on the sea. The First Legion Legion almost completely wiped out, and the Second Legion had also suffered more than half its casualties. The remnants of the two Legion combined numbered only about three thousand, looking sparse and pitiful.
These are the two units that actually engaged in battle yesterday; the Blood Elf probably didn't see any other units.
Xiao Yu led these remaining troops and stayed there, while the Blood Elf fleet gradually approached and soon became clear.
The Blood Elf have approximately fifty warships of two types: large warships that can carry two to three hundred combat personnel and smaller warships that can carry over a hundred people. These fifty warships likely represent a force of five to six thousand men. Moreover, the warships have very high decks, providing a commanding advantage for combat. Furthermore, the warships can carry heavy weapons. On the surface, it certainly appears that the enemy is stronger and we are weaker.
Xiao Yu wasn't nervous. Water Elemental move very fast in water, so even if he couldn't win, escaping shouldn't be a problem. He was currently observing the fleet. On the side of the lead warship stood a 5-star hero, who was probably the commander of the fleet.
Liadrin (Blood Knights Lord), 5-star hero, level 55, 350,000 HP.
Liadrin, clad in golden armor and a red robe, leaning on a greatsword of the Holy Light Judicator, looked dashing and imposing. Standing at the bow of the ship, she stared intently at the Water Elemental Lord in the water. Azathoth suddenly rose from the water, his upper body fully above the surface, reaching a height of six or seven meters, and faced Liadrin directly.
Azathoth (Water Elemental Lord): "Hahaha, this is truly unexpected, Blood Elf! You actually dared to chase after me. A very brave move, foolish—but very courageous."
Liadrin suddenly pointed her longsword at Azathoth.
Liadrin (Blood Knights Lord): "Elemental Lords, the honor of the Sin'dorei cannot be tarnished! You dared to invade Silvermoon City and slaughter our people; today will be your end!"
Azathoth (Water Elemental Lord): "Well said, but that's meaningless. This world is realistic and cruel. Justice can only be won through strength. You and your toys think you can defeat me? Hahahaha."
Liadrin (Blood Knights Lord): "Damn it, taste my wrath!"
The Blood Elf suddenly waved his hand, and a huge ball of Arcane energy shot towards Xiao Yu.
Boom! -19874, a huge red number floated up, and the violent explosion made Xiao Yu tremble all over. He looked in surprise at the towering tower on the enemy warship with a huge arcane crystal embedded at the top. He originally thought it was a mast or something, but he didn't expect it to be a shipborne weapon.
This looks like an Arcane tower meant for defense on city walls. Xiao Yu had seen it before on the walls and fortresses of Dalaran, but he never expected that these Blood Elf would actually install it on a warship. However, he guessed that only a giant vehicle like a warship could fit this thing.
Looking at the other warships, ten of the large warships were equipped with this thing, while the smaller warships were equipped with Fel cannons.
This thing is really powerful, and the blast radius is huge. Against ordinary Water Elemental, it could probably kill a bunch of them with one shot. But with such power, the firing speed must be very slow.
Boom! Another Arcane energy ball flew over immediately. Xiao Yu dodged it with a quick movement, but several Water Elemental behind him were unlucky enough to be smashed to pieces and dissolved directly into the seawater.
"Holy crap, one shot every three seconds!" Xiao Yu thought to himself. This black technology is unscientific. But it's fine, he originally wanted to fight a couple of times and then pretend to be defeated, but now he can just run away without any problem.
Azathoth (Water Elemental Lord): "A very powerful weapon. It seems I truly underestimated you, you ants. However, before Azathoth's true power, these are meaningless. Now, bear the wrath of Azathoth!"
He made a move as if he was about to unleash a powerful attack, and Liadrin's expression immediately turned serious.
Liadrin (Blood Knights Lord): "All warships, channel all Arcane energy into your Magic Shield."
Those warships actually had protective Magic Shield; that's some advanced technology! With Liadrin's command, semi-transparent protective shields appeared and protected the warships. However, it seems that only large warships had these shields; smaller warships didn't.
With this kind of protection, shouldn't it withstand an attack? Liadrin thought.
But the next second, the Elemental Lords suddenly turned around and ran away.
Liadrin was stunned. What was going on? What did this guy mean? Was the spell he was about to cast too powerful, so he needed to create distance before casting it? But how did he get so far away? He was probably beyond the casting range.
"General, it seems that the Elemental Lords is trying to escape?"
The garrison mage beside him spoke up to remind him.
Liadrin (Blood Knights Lord): "..." The Blood Elf was actually quite annoyed. This Elemental Lords was so cunning! He'd just acted all arrogant, and now he'd run away! And she'd been completely fooled by acupuncture! Unacceptable! Absolutely unacceptable!
Liadrin (Blood Knights Lord): "All warships, heed my command! Chase after them! Chase after them all! Blast those Water Elemental to smithereens!"
