"Archimund is dead, Mannoroth is also dead, and their souls have not been able to return to the Burning Throne, nor can they enter the depths of the Twisting Nether.

Their life as demons is over.

I can vaguely hear the screams of the Defiler, the sound written full of failure and full of sorrow. It has entered a very sad ending.

And I have no doubt about it."

At the same time that the reconnaissance force of the Anti-Demon Alliance began to cross the magma sea and move towards the Antolan Wasteland, in the Demon Throne of Argus, the only remaining Great Demon Deceiver of the Burning Legion was lecturing his subordinates.

It sits on its throne, with the burning heart of the world reflected in the background.

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

It fully demonstrates the psychological quality of a great villain, and is not as flustered or angry as the high-ranking demon commanders summoned below.

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

In the Burning Hall under the Throne of the Deceiver, in addition to the die-hard loyalists who originally belonged to Kil'jaeden's faction, there was also a group of subordinates who had surrendered to Archimonde.

Now they are all mourning for their heirs.

These guys have no doubt that after the Defiler dies, they will be ruthlessly used as pathetic cannon fodder by the vicious Kil'jaeden in the subsequent war.

In fact, their ideas were absolutely correct, that's what Kil'jaeden thought.

In the Burning Legion, a black and evil group where power is paramount, as a superior who wants to show his power and majesty, death and punishment are indispensable means.

But before these guys who chose the wrong boss tremble and await their fate, they have to patiently listen to the fraudster's tirade.

As if he was deliberately torturing them, Kil'jaeden was not in a hurry at all. It was still in the mood to summarize the previous humiliating defeat.

It said slowly:

"Archimonde is an out-and-out fool, and facts have proven this. Its greed for power has obscured its eyes, causing it to forget its incomparable wisdom.

That's the only quality I value in it.

Unfortunately, after losing his mind, a bastard who climbed to a high position through betrayal and betrayal eventually exposed his most fatal weakness.

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

fail...

It’s just the inevitable ending.”

"Sir, we all know that Archimonde is a bastard. He is not worthy of ruling the Legion with you. We, like you, are not surprised by his failure.

But it has indeed ‘successfully’ completed its task of luring the enemy.”

Under Kil'jaeden's command, General Elodus, wearing an eredar demon armor, leaned on his hunting spear and asked extremely respectfully:

"The reconnaissance spacecraft we sent has completely captured the actions of those alien invaders on the land of Krokuon. They bring reinforcements to our world once every three days.

The very dangerous Titan Iron Legion was also discovered among them. My colleagues and I have no doubt that their next target is the Antoran Wasteland.

Although in accordance with your instructions, we have sent some troops to land on Mac'Aree to try to attract their attention, but at present, it seems that the effect of luring the enemy is limited."

The old general who had served as the commander of the Eredar army in the golden age of Argus paused. It raised its scarred face and looked at the Deceiver. It said:

"I think we should dispatch starships to destroy their ridiculous army before they launch an attack."

"Is this the advice of the Council of Commanders?"

Kil'jaeden asked casually.

General Elodus nodded and replied:

"My colleagues have always believed we should act now!

Regardless of the grievances and positions of both parties, even I have to admit that the aliens of Azeroth have shown surprising unity and strength, and they have accomplished things that countless civilizations could not even imagine.

Not only did they successfully land on Argus, they also defeated our border army.

They are obviously another tough nut that the Burning Legion has encountered. Although they are not as legendary as the Aldaqi people, nor are they as elusive as the Holy Light Legion, if they are allowed to continue to accumulate strength, they are likely to make us face more difficult situations in the future.

war.

Of course, I have no doubt about the Legion's ultimate victory.

All it takes is an order from you! Fraudster.

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

The cold demonic commander whispered:

"Of course, this also means that the Crokuon continental shelf will completely collapse, but we have all heard the cry of the soul of the world that is about to awaken. Perhaps, we no longer need to preserve that stubborn and fragile land."

"What you say makes sense, my general."

A weird smile appeared on the dark red face of the fraudster. He waved his hand and said:

“But why rush it?

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

I think that can teach us a lesson, my generals.

We must be more patient.

You have to know that this desperate expedition is the last fight Azeroth can make, and they will desperately grab the last straw like a drowning man.

Every race in that world will do their best to send their most powerful warriors to our domain. They try to use unity as a weapon to defeat us. They try to create miracles to delay their fate of ultimate destruction.

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

We have to wait.

Wait until the last mortal warrior who abandons everything and comes to Argus sets foot on the holy land of evil, and when Azeroth gathers all its power in one place, give them a thunderous blow!"

Kil'jaeden rubbed his chin, and with burning eyes twitching, it said:

"I believe that the Battle of Argus will be another perfect demonstration of the Legion's reputation among the stars, just as the destruction of the Aldrachi won us the allegiance of a star realm.

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

I know this will bring more casualties to the demons.

but..."

The Deceiver sneered. It looked at its best commander and asked softly:

"Do you care about the life of a demon? My general."

This question made General Elodus laugh cruelly. The old general shook his head after laughing and replied:

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

They will only feel honored to participate in such a massacre. I think I understand what you mean, and the Commander-in-Chief Council will prepare for a magnificent decisive battle according to your wishes."

"Well, that's it."

The fraudster waved his hand and said indifferently:

"Just do whatever you have to do, and don't worry about the outcome of the war. Lord Aggramar is already on his way back, and every day that passes is more beneficial to us.

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

The demon generals who commanded the council nodded, but there was a trace of worry that could not be wiped off their faces. They looked at their leader, but General Elodus did not respond to his subordinates' questions.

The demon general, who is almost as old as Velen, knows exactly what worries his illustrious commanders.

Velen!

Their former leader Velen was the biggest variable in this war.

As commanders who have been serving the Supreme Archons since the Golden Age, everyone present is well aware of Kil'jaeden and Velen's grudges.

Although the Deceiver seems to be winning now, no one can tell what the irrational Deceiver will do once Velen appears on Argus.

Judging from the war art displayed by the commanders of the anti-demon coalition, the demons do not think they will give up the use of Velen, the "Noble Phantasm of Kil'jaedant's Attack".

But although the old general followed Kil'jaeden and turned into a demon, he was not stupid.

Raising this question at this time is equivalent to openly questioning the fraudster. With Kil'jaeden's unstable character, being thrown into the soul forging furnace can be considered a happy ending.

General Elodus planned to warn the fraudster privately after this meeting.

This big devil has made the same mistake before...

But before the Demon General could finish thinking about it, something was thrown from the throne by the Deceiver and landed on the ground in front of him.

It was a demonic scepter marked with the divine emblem of the Dark Titan Lord Sargeras. It was decorated with the skulls of the "first demons" from Marton. It was a legendary object of Argus.

This scepter represents the power of the commander to mobilize all the 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 glanced at the Deceiver in surprise. The latter closed its eyes, moved its wings and leaned on the throne. It said calmly:

"I know what you are thinking, my loyal subordinates, you have followed me for almost 30,000 years, and you have never learned to hide the worry on your face.

Velen...right?
