The Match Begins

Xiao Yu was taken aback when he saw the map description.

Holy crap, this script is all wrong! He's imprisoned right from the start? Seriously? Did this guy know the system-generated map would be this kind of special map?

Although the imprisonment is effective for both sides, my combat strength is clearly superior to that of the Necromantic Lord, and because I am a lone player, the combat strength of my subordinates is significantly inferior to that of the opponent—except for Ragnaros. This seems to be at a disadvantage for me.

Azathoth (Elemental King): "It seems you know something I don't, Cybertron."

Cybertron smiled slightly. "I didn't know what map would appear. I was just taking a gamble. After all, I don't have much confidence in facing you head-on. I've heard of the Elemental King's reputation. But the system-generated map is different. To ensure it fits the storyline, the system will definitely set up a very reasonable script, arranging for us to appear on the same map. Think about it, an Undead and an Elemental King on the same map—it seems highly unlikely. So I just chose the system-generated map and hoped for a better result. I didn't expect the result to be so good."

At this moment, in the live stream, viewers and streamers were discussing the system-generated map.

Brother Panda: Oh dear, I didn't expect to choose the system-generated map. By the way, do you know anything about this system-generated map?

Crow Mouth: Yes, yes, the system-generated maps are completely different from those pre-prepared maps. The biggest difference is that system-generated maps have a storyline. The system generates maps based on the identities and backgrounds of the two Demon Kings in the competition, and ensures that their appearances match the storyline. It seems this time it's not so good for the Elemental King. After all, as far as I know, almost all of his subordinates are NPCs. In the operation to rescue their master, NPCs are obviously no match for players.

Brother Panda: So you mean to say that Cybertron was prepared all along?

Crow Mouth: I'm afraid so. Now that both sides' bosses are imprisoned, the outcome will depend on the other members of each team. The two bosses under the Undead Lord are the 6-skull-level boss, the Nether Sovereign Demon General, and the 7-skull-level boss, the Bone Dragon Knight.

While these two bosses aren't as powerful as Ragnaros, they're still very strong. Most importantly, they're players, so their intelligence is higher, and their party has a large number of Undead players, giving them a significant advantage when searching the map. On the other hand, aside from Ragnaros, the Immortals' remaining bosses are only at the level of four skeletons. It looks like the Immortals are in for a tough time this time.

Brother Panda: Actually, this is not bad. Suspenseful matches are more interesting. Now, let's switch the scene back to the match.

The scene of the competition--

Host: Now, please go back and prepare your minions and boss for this battle.

Xiao Yu returned to his preparation space, but he wasn't too nervous. The worst-case scenario was that the enemy's subordinates wiped out his troops, and then the enemy's three bosses plus 1,000 monsters ganged up on him. But with his current strength, even if he couldn't win, he could still escape and then kite them endlessly. Unless the enemy had some powerful move to keep people in place, he could still win. Besides, his subordinates might not necessarily lose.

As soon as they returned to the preparation space, Leah Bloodmoon and Big Water Cunt greeted them.

Leah Bloodmoon (Great Elementalist): "Captain, don't worry, it's all up to me today. I'll definitely do my best."

Big Water Cunt (Water Elemental Lord): "Don't be like that! You were here yesterday, and you're here again today? Do you own this game? It's my turn now!"

Leah Bloodmoon (High Elementalist): "You don't understand. I specialize in fire magic, which is effective against the Undead. Your specialty is poison, which, as everyone knows, has no effect on the Undead. So, it should be me who steps up."

Big Water Cunt (Water Elemental Lord): "If that's the case, then Amalarui has a higher priority."

Amalarui (Resurrected Flame Spirit): "Hey, you two, don't drag me into your argument, okay? I have no interest in fighting or anything like that."

Xiao Yu raised his hand, and the group immediately quieted down. "Let's send Leah Bloodmoon into battle," he said.

Firstly, Leah Bloodmoon has some experience, and secondly, players are generally more reliable than NPCs. Although Amalarui seems to have very high intelligence among his NPCs, he's still an NPC. Unless he's as overpowered as Medivh, it's better to use Leah Bloodmoon.

Leah Bloodmoon (High Elementalist): "Yay! Captain, you're so sensible. It's no wonder I gave up the riches and glory of Silvermoon City to be with you. Um, shouldn't I be the one to decide which troops to send this time?"

Xiao Yu thought to himself, "Why does this sound so awkward? Did this girl pick up this goofy trait from being an apprentice to Amalarui?"

Xiao Yu nodded. Since he was going to let Leah Bloodmoon lead the troops, he naturally had to listen to her opinion.

Azathoth (Elemental King): "What kind of troops do you think would be best to bring?"

Leah Bloodmoon (High Elementalist): "When dealing with the Undead, fire magic is definitely the most practical, since the Undead are afraid of fire. And since the mission is to rescue you and move around in the Prison of the Gods, searching and marching are extremely important, so something too cumbersome won't do."

After some discussion, the final troop composition was as follows.

200 fire elementals = 400 population.

100 Fire Demons = 200 Population.

30 Lava Giants = 270 population.

65 wind elements = 130 population.

The main bosses are Leah Bloodmoon (Great Elementalist) and Ragnaros (Fire Colossus).

The troops were quickly selected, and then Xiao Yu arranged the tactics. Actually, there wasn't much to arrange; it was simply to send out 0 wind elementals to scout and find Azathoth's location after entering the map, and then concentrate the army to rescue Azathoth.

Furthermore, if Azathoth cannot be found, it is acceptable to fight the enemy forces to the death. In any case, if neither side's demon lord can be rescued, the competition will be a draw and a restart will be necessary. Xiao Yu is absolutely not afraid of starting over.

After waiting a few more minutes, the competition officially began at 9:30.

With a flash of white light, all the selected units were teleported onto the game map.
