The Fire Elementals Join

Xiao Yu didn't have a good impression of Baron Geddon. When he led the Elemental Legion to attack the Prime Material Plane, Ragnaros the Firelord, insisted on getting involved and sent this powerful fire elemental named Baron Geddon to assist him, essentially acting as a military supervisor. Xiao Yu didn't dare to oppose Ragnaros, so he accepted Baron Geddon into his ranks. However, once they reached the Prime Material Plane, he naturally didn't want to suffer this humiliation anymore, so he sent Baron Geddon to guard the western gate of the Burning Path. Unexpectedly, this allowed him to escape the Battle of Blazing Flame Canyon, and now he could use him for a while.

Xiao Yu was quite confident that Baron Geddon would agree, because Baron Geddon entered the Prime Material Plane through an elemental rift, meaning he was currently in his true form. If he were killed, he would truly be dead, the worst possible outcome for an elemental being. His only way to survive was to return to the Fire Elemental Plane through the elemental rift, but that place had already been occupied by the Alliance, which was why Baron Geddon was hiding in this lava lake, barely clinging to life.

The lava golem nodded, turned and entered the valley. Before long, a scorching wave of air surged forth.

The people hadn't even arrived yet, but the commotion had already begun.

It really was it! Xiao Yu thought to himself. Baron Geddon loved to put on airs and always created an atmosphere before making an appearance. However, in the eyes of truly powerful Elemental Lords, this was nothing more than a laughable bluff. Nevertheless, the adventurers were quite taken with it and retreated one by one, showing vigilance and tension. Soon, a huge fire elemental appeared at the entrance of the valley.

This fire elemental looks similar to a typical fire elemental, but it is incredibly huge, standing six or seven meters tall, and its body is an Enrage crimson color.

Baron Geddon (High-ranking Fire Elemental): "Who has summoned my name?" Baron Geddon asked in an almost roaring voice, his voice as powerful as the burning flames in a smoldering furnace.

Azathoth (Water Elemental Prince): "It is I, Azathoth, Water Elemental Prince," Xiao Yu said calmly.

Baron Geddon (High-ranking Fire Elemental): "A Water Elemental, and in its descended form at that. Hmph, are you here to gloat?"

Azathoth (Water Elemental Prince): "Of course not, in fact, I'm here to save you."

Baron Geddon (High-ranking Fire Elemental): "Save me?" Baron Geddon's voice suddenly became more suspicious.

Azathoth (Water Elemental Prince): "That's right. If you join us and help us defeat the Horde, in return, we'll open a path for you and your followers to leave and return to your world. Otherwise, once the Alliance and the Horde have decided their victor, neither side will tolerate your continued existence. You'll only face certain death. Besides, I don't think this small valley is a place you'd like to stay. Of course, you can fight your way out with your fire elemental forces, but right now, both the Dark Plains and the Blazing Flame Canyon are crammed with Horde and Alliance troops. I don't think you have any chance of winning. So, cooperating with us is your only way to survive."

Baron Geddon (High-ranking Fire Elemental): "An interesting proposal, but why should I believe you will keep your promise? What guarantees do you have?"

Azathoth (Water Elemental Prince): "I have nothing to guarantee. The question is, do you have any other choice?"

Baron Geddon's flames surged violently, as if reflecting his inner turmoil, before suddenly calming down.

Baron Geddon (High-ranking Fire Elemental): "You're right, this is indeed the only way out. However, you must be wary of the Water Elemental. If I discover you've deceived me, you'll find how utterly vulnerable you are in the face of the power of flames."

The following sentence clearly sounds a bit like a bluff.

Baron Geddon (High-ranking Fire Elemental): "Then, human mage, swear an oath that you will not attack me or my men."

Xiao Yu glanced at Esmehalda nodded knowingly.

Esmehalda (Dalaran Mystic): "I swear in the name of the Alliance that as long as you and your followers join us and help us fight against the Horde, I will absolutely not attack you and will allow you to leave freely."

Baron Geddon (High-ranking Fire Elemental): "Then it's settled. I will lead my troops to attack the Horde camp in an hour. You'd better not be late."

Esmehalda (Dalaran Mystic): "As you wish."

The two led the adventurer away from the lava lake.

Esmehalda (Dalaran Mystic): "Alright, Alliance warriors, you all heard the conversation just now. In one hour, we will launch an attack on the Horde's fortress and seize the Burning Path, a crucial stronghold. If you have any friends you can summon, you'd better have them come quickly. If you need to repair your equipment and armor or prepare supplies, you'd better do it quickly, because soon, we will be engaged in a great battle!"

Upon hearing that a great battle was about to break out, these adventurers excitedly prepared to go. These days, adventurers from the Alliance and the Horde had been fighting each other, but neither side had gained much merit points. They had spent a lot on potion repairs, though. If it weren't for the merit points, they wouldn't have been stuck here all this time. Now that they heard the final battle was finally about to begin, they naturally called on their friends and made careful preparations.

Seeing that the adventurers had all dispersed, Esmehalda suddenly looked at Xiao Yu, "There's something I didn't mention before. That portal to the Elemental Plane has been destroyed. How can we let Baron Geddon and his men leave? What if he turns against us?"

Azathoth (Water Elemental Prince): "Baron Geddon doesn't need to know these things. As for him turning against us? Hmph, we just need to turn against him first. With proper guidance, those adventurers will naturally deal with them. I think you know what to do."

Esmehalda (Dalaran Mystic): "You mean...?" Her face showed surprise, clearly not expecting such an answer. "But I promised them, and they're our allies now."

Azathoth (Water Elemental Prince): "Don't be so naive, humans. Allies are unreliable. Of all things in this world, only power is the eternal truth. To gain such power, sometimes you must make difficult decisions, and that is the meaning of a hero. Think about it, if you let them go, and they invade this world again in the future, wouldn't that be your mistake? Why wait for such a good opportunity to eliminate them? Now go and fulfill your mission!"

Esmehalda stared blankly for a moment, seemingly stunned by Xiao Yu's words.
