Feeding Kills

The battle finally began. The Murloc Army, meant to be cannon fodder, surged into the sea like a tidal wave. Murloc knights rode sharks and narwhals, driving hordes of sea beasts towards the Alliance / Horde coalition, which far outnumbered them. Leading this army was none other than a skeleton-level boss, Luluqi (the Murloc Leader). This Luluqi was the murloc elder who had fought alongside Xiao Yu during his attack on the Lost Island, and also a boss he had subdued in Hydra City.

And today, he will be the first to be sacrificed.

A year later, his strength was completely different from before. He wore shiny scale armor and had grown to be five or six meters tall.

Luluqi (Murloc Leader): "For Lord Azathoth, attack, murloc warriors! Waaralalalala!" Luluqi shouted, quite confident, for he had received great power from Lord Azathoth.

This powerful force is actually an effect of the Destroyer buff. All the bosses under Xiao Yu's command have received the [World Destroyer's Follower] buff. The power is naturally not as strong the Destroyer, but it is still quite significant. The strength of each boss has been greatly enhanced. Take Luluqi for example. He is now a level 1 Skeleton-level boss, and his strength is at least five or six times stronger than before. So even though the enemy's warships are numerous and their army is large, he still leads the Murloc Army to charge forward without hesitation.

Meanwhile, on the sea, players and NPCs on the Alliance and Horde fleets also noticed the unusual activity.

"Look! So many big fish! Holy crap, whales too! And fishmen! Holy crap, it's an army of monsters! Prepare for battle!"

"Quickly, all ranged classes, get to the ship's side."

"Switch to ranged weapons for melee combat and shoot first!"

"Holy crap, they're charging in!"

Amidst the clamor and shouts, the two armies gradually drew closer.

From a distance, the two sides began exchanging fire, resulting in a one-sided massacre. Although some sea monsters possessed ranged attack capabilities, they were few in number, and their attacks consisted mainly of spewing breath and launching water arrows, which had limited power and quickly became exhausted. Most sea monsters were melee fighters, but unable to attack the enemies on the ships, they could only ram the warships with their bare bodies. However, these warships were all regular warships, with many ironclad vessels at the front, which could not reduce the warships' durability by much.

In contrast, the adventurers and soldiers of the Alliance Horde on the fleet were all well-rested and waiting. Standing on the high gunwales, they unleashed various spells and fired arrows and crossbows, completely dominating the enemy. In an instant, the seawater turned crimson as the slain sea beasts floated to the surface.

"Attack! For Lord Azathoth!"

"Wah la la la la!"

Amidst shouts, the merman knights burst from the sea and landed on the warship.

But what awaited them were countless Alliance and Horde soldiers, as well as many melee adventurers. These adventurers had only seen the ranged classes dominating before, and now, seeing a few monsters, they rushed at them like madmen. The few murlocs that jumped onto the ship's side were simply not enough for each of them to face several enemies. Murlocs were already weak in combat, and now they were even more powerless to resist, and were wiped out in a few moves.

Even the adventurers on some of the later warships didn't get a chance to get a kill.

"Damn, that was so satisfying! They were all wiped out so quickly."

Many adventurers began to complain.

Fortunately, the battle won't end so easily.

"Look! Another sea monster is coming!" someone shouted, and everyone looked ahead.

Sure enough, tens of thousands of sea Sea Beast Legion, driven by merman knights, charged in from the sea. This time, many Big Build dragon turtles were among them, and another bloody battle ensued.

These dragon turtles were far more powerful than ordinary sea beasts. Not only were their defenses formidable, but their breath attacks were also incredibly powerful. Moreover, each of their massive shells was garrisoned by dozens of merman Warrior, resembling warships. However, the number of dragon turtles was still too small, only a little over a hundred in total, and they were far inferior to real warships. As a result, they were no match for the warships and were quickly blasted away one by one by the adventurers on board.

"Damn it, are we going to lose? For Lord Azathoth!" The merman lord Luluqi rode a narwhal, charging back and forth in the sea, occasionally throwing spells at the warships.

Seeing his troops decimated, an enraged Luluqi charged straight at the Alliance's largest warship.

With a deafening roar, the narwhal's horn slammed heavily into the ramming horn of the Alliance warship, instantly stunning it. It was then quickly killed by the ship's firepower. Luluqi leaped onto the warship; even if he were to die, he was determined to complete the mission given to him by Lord Azathoth.

However, it froze the moment it landed.

Varian Wrynn, Mephist, Dragon Knight Lord, Grand Master of the Lion Knights, and Commander Raymond of the Royal Guard—a constellation of stars shone brightly. Even a low-IQ murloc like him could sense something was amiss. Yet, instinct still drove him to brandish his massive harpoon, let out a monstrous cry, and charge toward the enemy. In the blink of an eye, he was hacked to pieces by a dozen human heroes.

[World Announcement: In the year 1376 of the Azure Era, the Murloc Leader Luluqi was Execute the heroes of the Alliance in the waters of the Lost Island, becoming the first evil leader to be killed in the Lost Island campaign. This event has been recorded in the Firmament Chronicle.]

Luluqi? Who is that? A question flashed through Xiao Yu's mind. He couldn't even remember the name anymore. He guessed Luluqi would be very sad if he knew.

Having defeated three waves of invading murloc/ Sea Beast Legion, wiping out approximately 100,000 enemies, the army has reached the beach of the Lost Island. Warships are crashing onto the beach one after another, and Alliance and Horde soldiers on board are jumping off, along with a similar number of adventurers. What awaits them is an endless army of elementals.

On the beach, a defensive force composed of sea, Water Elemental, and ice elements is everywhere. Leading this elemental army are three skeleton-level bosses played by players: Poseidon, Beautifully Freezing, and Water Water Makes You Healthier.

The three of them had actually sold their characters to the official website for a fairly good price, so they felt perfectly justified in giving away their kills today. Of course, besides the three player-controlled bosses, there were also many low- to mid-level NPC bosses and player-controlled low- to mid-level bosses, but these low-level bosses didn't earn as much money as the three of them; at most, they would only receive some compensation.

In addition to the Water Elemental Legion on the beach, the sky was also filled with the Wind Elemental Legion, led by an Elemental Lord of Air.

A massive elemental army of 100,000 was spread across the long beaches of the Lost Island, clashing with the adventurers and soldiers of the Alliance Horde, and the battle quickly became intense.

However, although the defending forces were numerous, the attacking Alliance and Horde numbered far greater, totaling over 200,000. They had suffered almost no losses in the previous battle against the murlocs, and the adventurers' combat power far surpassed that of ordinary elemental creatures. Therefore, the battle quickly became one-sided.

On the beach, swarms of elemental creatures were killed, while a massive air force comprised of Gryphon Rider, Wyvern riders, dwarven combat helicopters, Troll bat riders, and dragon riders forced the wind elementals to retreat continuously.

Meanwhile, the few Elemental Lords were besieged by heroes Horde the Alliance and Horde, along with countless adventurers.

Poseidon (Water Elemental Lord): "No, this is impossible—I have been defeated by—a bunch of mortals! Lord Azathoth will surely wipe you out—ah!"

With a scream, Poseidon was the first to finish his lines and die.

[World Announcement: In the year 1376 of the Azure Era, the Ox, Dragon-Slaying Blademaster Execute the Water Elemental Lord Poseidon and the Lost Island. This event has been recorded in the Firmament Chronicle.]

Xiao Yu thought to himself that finally, one of the characters he knew had died.

And this is just the beginning of today.
