Everything Is Going According to Plan

Half an hour later, the Elemental Lords gathered once again in the Elemental Lords' Council hall.

Faced with the summons of the Elemental King, the Elemental Lords were all somewhat puzzled, whispering among themselves, until one of them could no longer contain himself.

"What has happened, Lord Azathoth? Why have you summoned us here?" The Therazane the Stonemother was the first to ask.

Azathoth glanced at the assembled lords. "I've summoned you all here for a reason. As you've all seen, my plan has been fully realized. Those foolish mortals of the Alliance and the Horde have fallen into my trap. So now, it's time to move on to the next step."

These words immediately caused a stir. The Elemental Lords all had their own channels of information regarding the progress of the Lost Island campaign, so they were all very clear about the tragedy that had occurred on the island. When they heard the Elemental King say that the other side had fallen into his trap, they were all dumbfounded.

It's almost like they're about to say, "Boss, you can't be this ridiculous when you're bragging."

Finally, Therazane couldn't hold back any longer. "Forgive my bluntness, Lord Azathoth, but we have suffered heavy losses on the Lost Island, and have lost two more Elemental Lords (Poseidon and the Elemental Lord of Air commands the air force), and it looks like we're about to lose another one. I really don't see anything to be happy about. We are facing an unprecedented defeat. It's time to abandon your unrealistic fantasies. Perhaps we elementals should stay in the Elemental Plane; this is our true territory."

Azathoth (Elemental King): "Hmph, do not doubt my wisdom. Everything that has happened before was part of my plan."

Seeing the Elemental Lords' skeptical expressions, Azathoth smiled slightly. "Tell me, what is it that makes the Alliance and the Horde so Invincible, the most powerful forces on the Prime Material Plane? Is it their heroes? Is it their soldiers?"

"No, they're relying on adventurers?" Galax said. "Those adventurers are so annoying. If it weren't for them getting in the way, we would have razed the Alliance and the Horde to the ground long ago."

Azathoth nodded. "That's right, it's adventurers. The endless, immortal adventurers are the Alliance and the Horde's greatest asset. We have no chance against them head-on, which is why I lured the Alliance and the Horde to the Lost Island. Now, the Alliance and the Horde's top-tier adventurers, numbering in the hundreds of thousands, have all gathered on the island. Moreover, the Alliance and the Horde's most elite troops and their most powerful heroes have also gathered there. It can be said that the core strength of the Alliance and the Horde has left their homeland and is isolated overseas. On the sea, we are not afraid of any enemy. Apart from a few Druid who have naval combat abilities, most of those adventurers pose little threat in the water."

So all we need to do is destroy the Alliance and Horde fleets, and they'll be trapped, unable to go anywhere. We don't even need to fight them; we just need to prevent those adventurers from leaving.

Upon hearing Azathoth's words, the Elemental Lords were immediately moved. Upon reflection, they realized it was indeed true. Good heavens, could the great Elemental King be so farsighted, having planned the way to victory long ago, even at the cost of sacrificing the lives of several Elemental Lords? This absolutely calm and strategic plan immediately filled the Elemental Lords with awe.

Azathoth was very satisfied with the reactions of the Elemental Lords, and also admired his own wisdom. Only he, the great Elemental King, could have come up with such a perfect plan.

Azathoth (Elemental King): "Now you know how wise my plan was. So everyone, heed my command, Galax. Next, I want you to lead all the Elemental Lords and an army of two hundred thousand fire elementals to attack Orgrimmar. It's practically a ghost town now, with hardly any defenses. Your task is to burn Orgrimmar to Ashes."

When Ragnaros attacked Orgrimmar last time, although he destroyed half the city, the outer walls were not destroyed, and many buildings were still habitable, so overall it could still maintain the size of a faction's capital city. However, if it happened again, Orgrimmar, without any defenses, would obviously be completely destroyed. A city built of wood would obviously not be able to withstand the power of fire released by seven or eight Elemental Lords at the same time.

"As you command, great Lord Azathoth!" Galax replied immediately. He was more than happy to attack an empty city, to spread the flames of death upon those lowly mortals who had no power to resist, and to imprint fear into their minds. This was absolutely what he loved to do most.

Azathoth (the Elemental King): "Therazane the Stonemother, I command you to lead all the earth Elemental Lords and an army of two hundred thousand earth elementals to attack Stormwind City and utterly Stormwind City it to the ground."

Stormwind City is built of solid rock, so it cannot be burned, washed away by water, or attacked with storms. However, if seven or eight earth Elemental Lords were to use a large-scale siege spell like Earthquake together, destroying it wouldn't be difficult. Moreover, like Orgrimmar, Stormwind City is an empty city. Although there are some adventurers, they are mostly newbies with low levels and equipment. The truly powerful ones have all gone to the Lost Island, and the number of defenders and heroes is pitifully small.

Azathoth's plan this time is much more reasonable than the script he arranged last time. The four elements are all mobilized, which looks very exciting, but in fact they can easily interfere with each other. For example, a building ignited by the fire element can be extinguished by the tide stirred up by the Water Elemental.

According to the script, Orgrimmar and Stormwind City were absolutely safe during this period, so the issue of defense was not considered when the oracle was issued. Now, facing Xiao Yu, a boss who doesn't play by the script, they can only pray for good luck.

"Yes, Your Majesty, Elemental King," the Stone Mother replied.

Azathoth (Elemental King): "And I will personally lead an army of two hundred thousand Water Elemental and two hundred thousand Wind Elemental Legion to destroy the Alliance and Horde fleets, and incidentally besiege the Lost Island, trapping the core forces of the Alliance and Horde there completely."

"Al'Akir the Windlord, Neptulon the Tidehunter, you two, along with all the Water Elemental Lord and Elemental Lord of Air, shall march with me."

Al'Akir and Neptulon both nodded.

Previously, the four Elemental Prince were reluctant to take action, mainly because the battle plan devised by the Elemental King seemed utterly absurd. Now that there's finally some reliable action, they naturally have to intervene. These Elemental Lords are their assets, so they need to keep a close eye on them.

This time, all the Elemental Lords of the Elemental Plane were mobilized; apart from Ragnaros guarding the Immortal Throne, it was practically the entire force.

Nearly a million elemental soldiers launched a massive attack on the Prime Material Plane through several elemental rifts.
