Azeroth Shadow Trail

   Chapter 1702 70. Black! Dare to come to Antoran to designate no hello fruit to eat!

   "Archimonde is dead, and Mannoroth is dead, and their souls have not returned to the Burning Throne, nor have they entered the depths of the Twisting Nether.

   Their lives as demons are over.

   I could vaguely hear the Defiler's scream, and that voice full of failure was full of grief, and it had come to a very sad end.

   And I have no doubts about that. "

   At the same time that the reconnaissance unit of the Anti-Magic Coalition began to march across the sea of ​​magma towards the Antoran Wasteland, in the Demon Throne of Argus, the only remaining great demon deceiver of the Burning Legion was preaching to his subordinates.

   It sits on its throne with the heart of the world blazing in the background.

   Despite a humiliating defeat at Krokuun, Kil'jaeden remained emotionally stable.

   It fully demonstrates the psychological qualities that a villain should have, and is not as flustered or angry as the upper-level demon commanders who have been summoned below.

   Even his tone of voice was very calm, as if nothing had happened.

   In the burning hall under the throne of the deceiver, in addition to the diehard loyalists who originally belonged to the Kil'jaeden faction, there were also a group of subordinates who had surrendered to Archimonde.

   Now they are all like mourning.

   These guys have no doubt that they will be ruthlessly used as tragic cannon fodder by the vicious and vicious Kil'jaeden in the ensuing war after the polluter is dead.

   Actually, they thought exactly that, Kil'jaeden thought so.

   In the Burning Legion, the power-supreme black and evil group, death and punishment are indispensable means for the superiors to show their power and majesty.

   But before these guys who chose the wrong boss shivered and waited for their fate to be judged, they had to listen patiently to the deceiver's tirade.

   As if to torture them on purpose, Kil'jaeden was not in a hurry at all, and it was still in the mood to sum up the previous shameful defeat.

  It said slowly:

   "Archimonde is a total idiot, as it turns out, his greed for power blinded his eyes and made him forget his own monstrous wisdom.

   That's the only quality I value in it.

  Unfortunately, after losing his mind, a **** who rose to a high position by betrayal and betrayal finally exposed his most fatal weakness.

   It seems to want everything, but in fact it doesn't know what it wants.

fail

   is just an inevitable outcome. "

   "My lord, we all know that Archimonde is a bastard, he is not worthy to rule the Legion with you, and we, like you, are not surprised by its failure.

   But it did "successfully" complete the task of enticing the enemy. "

   Under the command of Kil'jaeden, General Elodus wearing the eredar demon armor and leaning on his hunting spear, it asked very respectfully:

   "The reconnaissance spacecraft we sent has completely captured the actions of those alien invaders in the land of Krokuun, and they have sent reinforcements to our world every three days.

   It also found the very dangerous Titan Iron Legion, and my colleagues and I have no doubt that their next target is the Antoran Wastes.

  Although we have dispatched some troops to Mac'Aree to try to attract their attention, as per your instructions, the effect of lure is limited so far. "

   The old general, who had been commander of the eredar army in the golden age of Argus, paused, raised his scarred face, looked at the deceiver, and said:

   "I think we should send out starships and destroy their ridiculous army before they attack."

   "Is this the proposal of the General Council?"

   Kil'jaeden asked casually.

General    Elodus nodded and replied:

   "My colleagues have always thought we should act now!

   Aside from the grievances and positions of the two sides, even I have to admit that the aliens of Azeroth have shown amazing unity and strength, and they have accomplished countless things that civilizations could not even imagine.

   Not only successfully landed on Argus, but also defeated our frontier army.

They are obviously another hard bone that the Burning Legion has encountered. Although they are not as legendary as the Aldraqi, and they are not as elusive as the Legion of Light, if they are allowed to continue to accumulate strength, it is likely that we will face more difficult times in the future. war.

   Of course, I have no doubts about the final victory of the Legion.

   Just one command from you! trickster.

  The fleet docked in the terminal dock will set off immediately, and in just one day, we can completely destroy all the rebels in Krokuun. "

   The ruthless demon commander whispered:

   "Of course, this also means that the Krokuun continental shelf will completely collapse, but we have all heard the whimper of the soul of the world about to wake up. Perhaps, we no longer need to retain that stubborn and fragile land."

   "You are right, my general."

   A strange smile appeared on the dark red face of the deceiver, and he waved his hand and said:

   "But why rush?

  The barbarians of Azeroth are difficult to deal with. We knew this 10,000 years ago. The expedition was led by Lord Sargeras himself, but it still suffered a shameful failure.

  I think that has taught us a lesson, my generals.

   We must be patient.

  You have to know that this desperate expedition is Azeroth's last fight, and they will desperately grab the last straw like the drowning ones.

   Every race in that world will do their best to send their most powerful warriors to our realm, they try to defeat us with unity as a weapon, they try to create miracles to delay their ultimate destruction.

   But now, those warriors, those precious souls have not yet arrived.

  We have to wait.

   Wait until the last mortal warrior who threw it all away to Argus to set foot on the fel sanctuary, and when Azeroth gathers all its power in one place, give them a thunderous blow! "

   Kil'jaeden rubbed his chin, and in the throbbing of his burning eyes, he said:

   "I believe that the Battle of Argus will be another perfect demonstration of the Legion's reputation among the stars, just as the fall of the Aldrachi has earned us the allegiance of a sector.

The strength of the    Legion will not be weakened by a short wait, but a good hunter always knows to pick up the bow and arrow after the prey has completely stepped into the trap.

   I know this will bring more casualties to the demons.

but."

   The deceiver sneered, looked at his best commander, and asked softly:

   "Do you care about the lives of demons? My general."

   This question made General Elodus laugh cruelly. After the old general finished laughing, he shook his head and replied:

   "They don't care about themselves, my lord.

   They just feel honored to be part of that carnage. I think I see what you mean, the General Council will prepare for a grand final battle according to your wishes. "

   "Well, that's it."

   The fraudster waved his hand and said indifferently:

   "Do what you need to do, don't worry about the outcome of the war, Lord Aggramar is already on his way back, and every day we delay is better for us.

  The initiative of the war has never been in the hands of those alien barbarians. "

   The demon generals who commanded the council nodded, but there was an indelible worry on their faces. They looked at their leader, but General Elodus did not respond to the questioning of his subordinates.

   The demon general, almost as old as Velen, knew exactly what his illustrious commanders were worried about.

   Velen!

   Their former leader, Velen, is the biggest variable in this war.

   As commanders who have served the supreme rulers since the golden age, everyone present is well aware of the grievances between Kil'jaeden and Velen.

  Although the deceiver now seems to have a chance to win, once Velen appears in Argus, no one can judge what the deceiver will do if he loses his mind.

   In terms of the art of war shown by the commanders of the anti-magic coalition, the demons did not think they would give up the use of Velen, the "Noble Phantasm for Kil'jaeden".

   But although the old general followed Kil'jaeden and turned into a demon, it wasn't stupid.

   Asking this question at this time is tantamount to openly questioning the fraudster. With Kil'jaeden's uncertain character, being thrown into the soul-forging furnace is a happy ending.

   General Elodus intends to privately remind the fraudsters after this meeting.

   This great devil may have made the same mistake before.

   But before the Demon General finished thinking in his mind, something was thrown from the throne by the deceiver and fell on the ground in front of him.

   It was a demon scepter marked with the divine emblem of Lord Sargeras, the dark titan. It was decorated with the skulls of the "first demons" from Mardon, a legendary item of Argus.

  This scepter represents the power of the commander to mobilize all demon legions in the world of Argus. From the day Kil'jaeden became the great demon, this scepter has been held by the deceiver himself.

   This is a manifestation of Kil'jaeden's identity and status in the Burning Legion.

"This"

  The Demon General gave the deceiver a surprised look. The latter closed his eyes and leaned on the throne with his wings moving. He said calmly:

   "I know what you are thinking, my loyal subordinates, you have been following me for almost 30,000 years, and you never learn to hide the worry on your faces.

   Velen, right?

  You are worried that Velen's presence will make me lose my mind. "

  The words of the deceiver made all the demons present bow their heads in unison.

   At this time, no one wants to answer the call, because answering the call is equivalent to sending death.

   "I will not participate in your war, nor will I interfere with your command casually. I will only leave the Legion of the Hand of the Deceiver that belongs to me as my Praetorian Guard."

   Kil'jaeden waved his paws and said:

   "You command the rest of the legion, use your art of war to the fullest, and bring destruction to those alien barbarians, as for me

   I'll accomplish what I've been longing for.

  Let's not interfere with each other, okay? my subordinates. "

   The fraudster seems to be in a good mood.

   It even made a rare joke, and the last worry in General Elodus's heart dissipated at this moment, it leaned over to pick up the demon scepter, and said to the deceiver in a deep voice:

   "As you wish, our wise and evil master.

   We will dedicate a great victory to you and Lord Sargeras! Azeroth's invaders will usher in their end on the battlefields of Antoran! "

   "Well, I have no doubts about it, go for it!"

   Kil'jaeden nodded, and its loyal servants turned around and strode away, but those demons who belonged to Archimonde did not dare to be so casual.

  As the other demons watched with mockery and sarcasm, they shivered and stayed in the hall, waiting for the deceiver to judge their fate.

  The entire hall was dead silent, only the sound of burning coals was beating from the surrounding burning fire.

   Such a dreadful silence lasted for a full ten minutes, and some timid guys in Archimonde's subordinates even began to stagger, their fear of the future and the pressure of despair overwhelmed them.

   "I've been thinking about a problem for a while now."

   Finally, the fraudster spoke up.

   Kil'jaeden opened his eyes on his throne, staring at the shivering losers below, most of whom were demonized eredars.

   This is also a feature of Archimonde.

  The Defiler doesn't like minions other than eredar demons very much. It is a downright racist populist demon who stubbornly believes that eredar demons are better than other demons.

It is because of this claim that Archimonde's power in the Burning Legion has always been inferior to that of the more "tolerant" fraudsters, but it is also because of this that most eredar demons follow the polluters. .

  Because they know that when the mission of sending death is really out, Archimonde will definitely give priority to sending other demon commanders to the mortal enemy and will do his best to protect "their own people".

   From this point of view, Ake is actually a very attractive commander, although compared to the cheater, his strength in all aspects seems to be very lax.

   "You said, what would happen if I, like Velen, refused his gift as firmly as Velen when Lord Sargeras came to the world of Argus?

  I ask you, do you regret joining the Legion? "

   The fraudster asked a very wicked question, causing the eredars in the hall to stare at each other, so how should they answer such a question that is politically incorrect within the Burning Legion?

   Say sorry?

  Dare to say that and he will be dragged out to feed the dog in the next second.

   But say no regrets

   Well, it’s actually not quite the case.

Especially when they saw with their own eyes that Velen brought the draenei to find brave companions in Azeroth, and they were able to fight back to Argus with dignity and defeat the mighty Burning Legion. Many eredar demons will To think at some point if the other path was chosen at that time, is there a place for those warriors fighting for justice now?

   Of course, such thinking is only fleeting.

   There are not so many "reflection monsters" who can choose to surrender to the devil.

   "Go."

   The silence of these guys disappointed the fraudsters.

   If Archimonde were here, the polluter would definitely laugh loudly at the weakness of the deceiver.

  Although that idiot was really annoying, Kil'jaeden had to admit that Archimonde was one of the few guys in the Legion who dared to talk to him "in his heart".

  It waved its claws in disinterest, losing interest in this punishment.

it says:

   "Each of your subordinates will break up the organization and accept the adaptation of the commander's council. You will all participate in the next battle as a grassroots command. If you can survive, I will not care about your rebellion against me before.

  If you die, the past will be written off. "

   "Thank you for your kindness, fraudster, we will always be loyal to you."

   A group of eredar demon lords heard the deceiver's favor, and immediately fell to their knees in overjoyed thanks for his favor, but they did not see the sarcasm in Kil'jaeden's eyes.

   Fraudsters are sure that everyone here has no chance of coming back alive.

  The demon lords under their command would not want a bunch of **** running to grab their status and power. These guys will definitely be assigned to the most dangerous areas as cannon fodder.

   But what does that have to do with yourself?

  I generously gave them the chance to start over, didn't they? Even if they were sent to death as cannon fodder, they should thank themselves for their kindness from the bottom of their hearts.

   But he gave them kindness, who would give him kindness?

   How could Kil'jaeden not have thought of what the polluters could think of?

  At the moment when Argus the Destroyer is about to be born, the Titan Soul is about to be completely corroded, and at the moment when the Dark Pantheon is about to be born, does the existence of the Burning Legion really mean anything to the ruthless Lord Sargeras?

   The fraudster closed his eyes again.

  O Velen.

   My dear brother, who was once soul-connected, I am willing to share with you everything I have, but will you give me a merciful ending in our homeland?
