Duels should be played with a smile.

Even the enemy forces, in the original game, need to follow the game rules. Apart from the troops that appear out of thin air at various plot points, both sides need to honestly collect resources and train their armies through various troop-deploying buildings.

But judging from the frequency with which K sends out troops, something is clearly not right.

Moreover... it's been an undead army all along, but we haven't seen a single demon or any commander-level heroes. These are all bad things for Leyou.

"I can't just sit here and wait to die... I'll observe for a while, but if you still don't make a move... I won't sit here and wait to die."

From the beginning, Leyou didn't believe that K would honestly attack, so he didn't expect that he could defend steadily until the time ran out.

Now, a third of the time has passed, but his preparations are still a bit behind schedule, so he plans to speed things up a little.

"Suspend the training progress of all barracks. The Night Elves' Tree of Life should focus on training a large number of Wisps and sending them to the front lines. Construct as many Ancient Guardians as possible within the Human main base!"

"All troops except the Night Elf forces and mercenary forces are assembled at the front line, ready to launch a proactive attack!"

"All heroes, head to the Goblin Shop to purchase the newly spawned Goblin Mines and Invincibility Potions. Store these supplies near the Night Elf main base, and then proceed to the front lines to assemble!"

Leyou simultaneously distributed three main orders and various detailed instructions to the relevant troops, and the allied forces, which had just repelled a wave of enemy attacks, immediately sprang into action again.

The advantage of the game is that it saves you from having to consider many things in real life. Even if the soldiers are seriously injured, as long as their health bars are not empty, Malfurion can cast Tranquility, and the Witch Doctor can use a healing wand. After a while, these soldiers will be almost fully recovered.

On the Night Elf side, with two heroes, after Tyrande stopped many things, Malfurion was sent by Leyou to the mercenary camp to continue recruiting bear warriors. At the same time, he, who could turn the forest into treant guardians, was also sent by Leyou to the forest to summon treants.

Of course, Malfurion was also asked to fetch two small invincibility potions for himself and his wife to take with them. Even though these invincibility potions were very precious, they would definitely be worth it for the upcoming mission.

Compared to troops that require resources to train and consume population and resources to maintain, summoned creatures like water elementals and treant guards, which are given away for free, are the best way to deal with undead armies.

They are lifeless, and when they die they leave no corpses for the undead to transform into, and they don't cost a penny. They are truly high-quality and inexpensive—a bottle of magic potion costing a few hundred gold coins allows Jaina and Malfurion to use summoning spells several times.

Soon, the army was reorganized and repelled another attack by the undead. Leyou left behind the original defensive forces and ordered the rest of the troops to attack.

The defending side didn't need to do this at all, but... once the number of Legion Demons reached a certain level, Leyou's subsequent plans would become completely impossible to execute...

Whether in Yu-Gi-Oh!, other games, or even in real wars, in any event filled with confrontation, the only constant truth is—whatever your opponent wants to do, you should prevent them from doing it.

"They just want to crush me in one fell swoop, but even a legitimate open scheme isn't without a way to break it!"

"Perhaps you understand business well, you understand dueling well, and after possessing Archimonde, you also understand war and combat, but on this one point, I'm sure..."

"You bastard, you definitely don't know as much about games as I do!"

"The 'hold it in' tactic... I'm an all-around strategic player who can crack urbanization and crush ditches!"

Under the cover of night, the heroes led their army silently through the forest. With the help of the night elves, the massive army was also protected by the moonlight and sheltered by the jungle. Their path was smooth, and they moved without making a sound.

Not far from the base, the traces left by the undead army gradually increased along the way. The once lush green mountain roads had become barren and dry under the pollution of the undead and demons, devoid of any life. Even if druids were to heal this land later, it would take a considerable amount of time to restore its former natural beauty.

Before long, the magical owl that had been scouting ahead flew back and landed on Tyrande's shoulder, bringing not very good news.

The enemy's undead forces have been mobilized again, and their numbers are much larger than before.

"This is a bit tricky. It looks like the other side has been holding back for a while and is preparing for one last round of reconnaissance."

"This time, we weren't very lucky."

In the owl's view, the undead across the mountains and plains were gathered together under the summons of the demons. Every undead was incorporated into this final attack, ready to offer their lives for the legion once again in this last assault.

Moreover, this time, in addition to being exceptionally large in scale, these disgusting corpses also had a leader.

A lich.

Liches are powerful spellcasters who wield frost and shadow. The lich under Archimonde is particularly adept at conquering territories—simply gather the energy of shadow and project it onto the target area, and the corrosive energy will easily dismantle those seemingly impenetrable defenses.

Like spring flowers falling into the trap of winter, they wither and fade.

"It seems... the operational objective needs to be slightly modified. Compared to those demons, this lich is more worthy of attention."

After making slight adjustments to the subsequent plans, Leyou ordered a faster pace, heading towards the enemy camp.

This journey... may be one of no return!

……

"Heh, an insect is just an insect after all. This level of spying is not something you need to be on guard against to detect."

Within the camp, K methodically directed every building and every soldier in the base, issuing precise commands. A clear light shone in his eyes, which were filled with chaotic power.

How could he, a scourge whose infamy resounds throughout the universe, fail to notice a tiny magical owl? Back in Argus, he was one of the three great Eredar, alongside two other Eredar!

He certainly possesses immense power, but his mind is also filled with countless pieces of knowledge!

"Legion Demons! Hear my command! Your first feast is about to be delivered to your doorstep!"

Archimonde did not give the demons any detailed instructions; these butchers who had destroyed countless worlds knew perfectly well what they were supposed to do.

All he wanted to do was remove the shackles left on them before liberation.

As for the undead army...

"You useless dead bones, your only task is to hold off those ignorant insects!"

……

At midnight, the bright moonlight shone on the withered earth, and figures moved through the forest. Under the protection of nature, the allied forces arrived outside the legion's camp.

In the night sky, the bright moon is pure and flawless. Perhaps the goddess Elune is watching over the earth from above the moon, protecting her people.

In the night sky, no one dared to rival the bright moon's brilliance; the stars were hidden, their light nowhere to be seen.

Without any unnecessary greetings, probing, or even slogans or drumbeats, the two sides launched a direct attack the moment they saw each other.

"Water elementals! Fight for me!"

"Pull up the tree roots and set off!"

"Blessed by the wolf soul of our ancestors!"

The battle has begun, and both sides are displaying their unique abilities. Knowing their own disadvantages, the allied heroes immediately summoned a large number of summoned creatures to hold the front line, minimizing troop casualties and preserving their strength as much as possible.

Having defended against numerous undead attacks before, the allied forces skillfully found their rhythm in the battle this time, and with the help of summoned creatures, they quickly stabilized the situation.

Even if the enemy is numerous and far outnumbers the previous ones, as long as the right approach is found, victory is not out of reach if there is no fundamental difference between the two sides.

The undead army has no concept of morale, but roars of anger resounded throughout the allied forces. The three races united to fight the enemy, splitting ghouls in half, turning crypt demons into pincushions, and blasting gargoyles to pieces.

The power of mortals cannot be ignored, but the power of heroes is even more dazzling. With his towering physique, the Minotaur chieftain led the charge, and with each swing of his giant blade, corpses flew everywhere. With a single stomp of his foot, he was enough to throw the enemy army into chaos.

The shaman skillfully manipulated the power of the elements, summoning bolts of lightning and drawing upon the power of the earth to make it impossible for the enemy to move an inch.

A blizzard descended from the sky, freezing the distant meat grinders and rendering them inoperable. The powerful Moon Priestess was unerring in her arrows, setting every enemy who dared to peek out ablaze.

"Excellent, everything is as I expected!"

A low laugh echoed through the night sky as the enormous demon and his legion finally ceased to hide.

They had completed the encirclement while the undead and the allied forces were locked in fierce combat.

"Legion! Attack! Annihilate them all, leave no one alive!"

The Legion demons swarmed forward, with the four commanders, including Archimonde, unleashing their full array of skills.

Archimonde, who was already prepared for a general attack, immediately unleashed a Chaos Rain, sending countless hellfire demons raining down from the sky and crashing into the allied forces' formation. The allied forces, caught off guard, were instantly routed and divided.

Wielding his massive battle blade, the Abyss Lord rampaged through the battle with his colossal body. The dozens of meters long blade only needed to lightly graz the enemy soldiers to decapitate them.

If it weren't for the Soul Walker's soul link that shared the lives of the allied forces, they might have been completely wiped out in this first wave of attacks.

Thanks to Life Sharing and the area-of-effect healing of Healing Totems, as well as the precise restoration of Druid Rejuvenation, the Allied Forces managed to survive the first wave despite being in a very sorry state.

But soon, the lich and the dreadlord struck again.

The power of shadow and frost exploded among the crowd. The soul connection originally intended to protect allies seemed to become a burden at this moment. The wide-range attack made the already somewhat weak allied forces even worse. Compared to the Legion's offensive capabilities, the allied forces' healing capabilities seemed to be lacking.

Even the once-mighty heroes, under repeated blows, were exhausted from running around putting out fires and could not hold out for long.

"Hahahaha! Insects are insects. Instead of staying at home and waiting to die, they dare to launch an attack. It's time for you to taste the bitter fruit of your own actions!"

K's laughter echoed across the battlefield. If this trend continued, the allied forces would be unable to continue in just a few minutes. After eliminating the allied forces, he would be able to take down the World Tree with ease!

"At times like this, I need to step in and dampen your spirits!"

Although he had no physical body, Leyou's words resonated directly in K's mind. Just as K was feeling somewhat bewildered, he saw two heroes from the allied forces, who were on the verge of collapse, each pull out a bottle and drink it down.

"All spirits are calling! Rain of tranquility, heal my kin!"

"Demons! Feel Elune's wrath! Stars! Sprinkle your light!"

A golden shield protected Malfurion and Tyrande from all harm, allowing the millennia-old couple to fight side by side once again.

The tranquil rain fell, and the power of nature healed the bodies of the allied forces and soothed their spirits. With their souls linked together, their thoughts converged, and their will was re-emerged at this moment!

Wounds healed, and fighting spirit was rekindled! At this moment, the allied forces, on the verge of collapse, were infused with new vitality and fought fiercely against the demons.

However, the power difference between mortals and demons is still vast. Without further help, even with the healing power of nature, they will still be unable to escape their fate of defeat once this healing power dissipates.

then...

Under the bright night sky, the stars shone brightly.

The starlight is far less dazzling than the moonlight, but with the permission of the moon goddess, the stars are also granted the opportunity to descend upon the earth.

Moonlight gathered around Tyrande, and runes bestowed by the moon goddess appeared on the ground and in the sky, forming a mysterious magic circle that mortals could not understand. Guided by this moonlight and targeting the arrows of the elves, the stars revealed their formations.

The sky was silently shattered, and meteorites from outer space, along with moonlight and starlight, descended upon the earth. The demons marked by the arrows were their primary targets. When the irresistible force struck the demons' bodies, even those who had destroyed countless worlds could only helplessly be sent back to the Twisted Void by the meteorites, waiting for a chance to be resurrected many years later.

The two heroes joined forces, drawing upon the power of nature and the gods, to instantly turn the tide of battle. The allied forces were energized once again, and large swathes of demon armies were annihilated by the meteor. The demons desperately wanted to stop the two culprits, but under the effects of the invincibility potion, they could only return empty-handed.

Then wait to die.

"Heh... Is it possible that what seems like a failure on my part was actually part of my calculations?"

Have you ever heard of a tactic called... "Pull a wave of A"?

I am the King of Trains!!!

Chapter Ten: Goblin Technology – Truly Breathtaking!

The moment the invincible ultimate move was unleashed, the situation on the battlefield instantly reversed, and the already escalating battle intensified to a fever pitch.

In the night sky, the vitality of nature and the light from beyond the stars make this restless night exceptionally lively.

"Ha, you have some skill, but it's far from enough!"

With a roar, K could no longer contain his inner turmoil as he personally took to the field. The chaotic fel energy made him choose to abandon all unnecessary thinking and solve the problem in the simplest and most direct way.
