Lord: My troops can evolve indefinitely.

Looking at Lin Feng's troop composition, everyone nodded in approval. The elves still had a significant advantage in forest terrain.

Archers are the basic unit of the Elven race and the only ranged unit among the four basic races.

Paired with a melee sentry, they can effectively leverage their respective strengths.

Then, everyone looked at Luo Xuan's side. Unlike Lin Feng's large group of soldiers, Luo Xuan's side had a pitifully small number of troops.

One gray wolf, two skeleton soldiers, and the remaining three units were so shocking that they made people gasp.

"Holy crap, purple and orange soldiers?!"

"Really? And there's more than one!"

Shen Ce, also a first-tier lord, remained calm when he saw Lin Feng's troop composition, proving he was no less capable than Lin Feng.

However, when Shen Ce saw Luo Xuan's troop composition, he really couldn't stay calm; he felt they were on completely different levels.

Although Luo Xuan's forces were relatively small, the strength of several of his special units was clearly visible.

Even Zhao Wenjie felt a little emotional. He had initially thought highly of Luo Xuan because of his purple-quality water elemental, but now it had evolved to orange quality.

However, Zhao Wenjie was also somewhat puzzled when he looked at Luo Xuan's troops.

Luo Xuan once said that his lord talent was "diplomatic ambassador," which allowed him to command troops from three races without any side effects.

However, Luo Xuan now clearly has more than three races under his command.

The undead skeletons, the elemental water elementals, and the demons and naga have clearly gone beyond the scope of diplomatic ambassadors.

Zhao Wenjie temporarily suppressed his inner thoughts and continued to look at the screen.

By this time, Lin Feng had already dispatched troops to scout the surrounding area and was gradually exploring outwards.

Elven units are very adept at fighting in the forest. Although Lin Feng and Luo Xuan did not have much private communication, Lin Feng did not know much about Luo Xuan.

However, looking at the randomly generated forest terrain, Lin Feng was still very confident of winning.

The situation was completely different for Luo Xuan.

Looking at the troops under his command, apart from Azathoth and his two companions, the gray wolves and skeletons were completely powerless in combat.

The gray wolf might have some scouting value, but the two little skeletons were completely a burden.

Although they are just virtual units simulated by the system, it is still a bit of a waste to just abandon two skeletons.

Therefore, Luo Xuan decided to use two small skeletons as bait to set a trap.

Luo Xuan first arranged for the gray wolf and the little spiders summoned by Lilith to scout the surrounding area.

Since it was a simulated battle, the space wasn't set too large; Zhao Wenjie set the entire field to be the size of a football field.

Soon, both sides' reconnaissance units had vaguely pinpointed the other's general area, but neither side took any rash action.

"Pay close attention, this is crucial." From the sidelines, Zhao Wenjie reminded them, "Often, after obtaining some key information about your opponent, how you choose to proceed is extremely important."

Upon hearing this, everyone dared not be negligent and watched even more attentively. At the same time, they began to put themselves in Luo Xuan's or Lin Feng's shoes and think about how they would command if they were in Luo Xuan's or Lin Feng's position.

After learning Luo Xuan's approximate location, Lin Feng began to consolidate his forces and advance towards Luo Xuan's location.

Luo Xuan then sent out a small skeleton to an open area at the edge of the forest.

This action quickly attracted the attention of nearby archers, and the information soon reached Lin Feng's ears.

"What does this mean? Is it bait to distract me and divert my forces? Or is it some kind of trap?"

Lin Feng immediately sensed that something was wrong, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what it was.

He didn't think Luo Xuan was a fool, but he felt that he hadn't seen through Luo Xuan's thoughts.

However, in the end, it was just a low-level skeleton soldier.

Undead units are known for their large numbers and fearlessness, but a single undead unit is almost the weakest among units of the same tier.

With that thought in mind, Lin Feng no longer hesitated, even though Luo Xuan might have arranged for a follow-up ambush.

However, Lin Feng believed that his sentries would be able to quickly kill the skeleton soldiers and then retreat.

Even when it comes to fishing bait, Lin Feng is confident that his troops can swallow the bait and spit out the hook.

The skeleton soldiers moved forward slowly and stiffly, as if blindly exploring.

Before long, several figures quietly appeared behind the skeleton soldiers and quickly approached.

Luo Xuan, having also received the intelligence, smiled slightly: "The fish has taken the bait."

Luo Xuan's move was a straight hook, blatantly telling the other party that he was fishing, betting that the other party was confident and arrogant.

Luo Xuan's gamble paid off; Lin Feng did indeed send out an interception force, just as he had predicted.

Originally just an insignificant little skeleton, it suddenly became important in this game between the two sides.

"This is the first clash between the two sides, and it could very well change the course of the game," Zhao Wenjie remarked from the sidelines.

"Lin Feng was too impulsive and reckless. He knew it was a trap, but he still went," Lin Mufeng said with a frown.

"No, that's because you're looking at it from the outside. If you were in Lin Feng's position, you might have made the same choice."

Zhao Wenjie countered that he could see further than the young people around him.

In a match, what does it mean when your opponent deliberately sends out a weak skeleton soldier to expose itself to your view?

Is it a provocation? Underestimating the enemy? Or something else?

The pressure exerted on Lin Feng by that simple little skeleton was far greater than what the others watching from the outside could see.

If Lin Feng doesn't dare to deal with the little skeleton, he will be at a psychological disadvantage from the start.

Zhao Wenjie didn't say these words aloud; they needed to understand them themselves.

Soon, as the skeleton soldier drew closer to the edge of the forest, the two sentries following behind it finally couldn't resist making their move.

At that moment, the little skeleton hadn't even reacted yet, its body still moving forward due to inertia.

Seeing this, the two sentries exchanged a glance and began to observe their surroundings, ready to deal with any possible traps.

However, what they didn't know was that the danger came from above.

The top of this grove of trees has been densely covered with spider webs, and I don't know when it happened.

Just as the two sentries finished off the skeleton soldiers and relaxed slightly, a hideous shadow descended from the sky.

The killing was swift; the two sentries offered little resistance before being pierced by Lilith's foot blades.
