Chapter 578: Outland....

A hundred trillion souls. Roy didn’t know how he had proposed this number to Sargeras nor why Sargeras had agreed.
Roy had some guesses in his mind, but they were very vague. With his understanding of himself, he knew that he shouldn’t have said this number casually. It should be the amount needed to satisfy a certain condition.
As for what condition it needed to satisfy, was there a need to think about it? It was definitely a condition that the system would fulfill through souls.
Roy guessed that he needed a large number of souls to achieve a certain goal with the system, and this goal happened to be in line with Sargeras’s interests, so he agreed to collect souls for him.
Sargeras.. No, I should call him Boss Sar now! In that case, many of the souls collected by the Burning Legion after destroyingplanets and lives over the years are in Boss Sars hands, and hes going to hand these souls over to me… Thinking about how Sargeras was now holding a substantial number of souls and waiting to hand them over to him, Roy immediately felt deep veneration for Sargeras. He even changed the way he addressed him, calling him boss.
Although Sargeras was the fallen Dark Titan and looked like a demon, he didn’t need to devour souls like orthodox demons. As the leader of the Burning Legion, he had abundant soul resources, and he could be said to be Roy’s natural partner.
In that case, Roy felt that he should indeed do his best for the Legion.
The Burning Legion’s current greatest obstacle was the planet Azeroth. The Legion, which had always been invincible, had suffered several setbacks on this planet, so the expedition plan had to be stopped. When Roy found that he and Sargeras had such a big deal waiting to be completed, he realized that Azeroth, which was blocking the Legion’s advancement, was also hurting his interests.
In that case, I’lljoin in! Roy clenched his demon claws and smiled.
Not to mention, this feeling of standing opposite Azeroth and becoming enemies with it was quite wonderful. Who knew what changes his joining would bring to the original history.
If this were a game, would there be an additional King ofDespair raid? In that case, wouldn’t there be manypeople researching ways to beat me day and night?
Roy laughed, thinking that this was quite interesting. He returned to his palace without delay, called Julia and Benia, and got Rafaro to transform into a starship again.
A moment later, Roy left Argus on the starship.
On the ground, Kil’jaeden looked up at Roy’s starship turning into a stream of light and flying away. The corners of his mouth curled up into a faint smile.
Behind him, Alythess and Sacrolash knelt on one knee and bowed to Kil’jaeden. “Lord Kil’jaeden, Osiris… Lord Osiris is leaving to go command Magtheridon’s army. We’ve already conveyed the order of the Legion..
“That’s good…” Kil’jaeden said. “His judgment isn’t bad. After Draenor collapsed, although only a small piece of broken land remains, there are still many planar portals there. Perhaps the Dark Portal is still there. As long as we can find it, it can become another way for the Legion to attack Azeroth. Previously, I sent Magtheridon because of this consideration. But Magtheridon is only a demon lord. With Osiris presiding over the situation, it will be easier to control the shattered land.”
Kil’jaeden was very satisfied with Roy’s choice because Roy wasn’t interfering with the progress of his plan. Kil’jaeden’s main plan now was the Scourge, and most of his energy was on Ner’zhul. He had sent Tichondrius and the other dreadlords to monitor Ner’zhul, showing how much importance he attached to this matter. Kil’jaeden had always been in charge of this matter, so of course he didn’t want Roy, a big shot who suddenly appeared, to cause any accidents. Now that Roy had chosen to go to Outland, it was naturally impossible for him to interfere. Kil’jaeden was naturally satisfied with this.
As for whether that irritable fellow Magtheridon would fly into a rage because of the sudden addition of a commander above him, it wasn’t something Kil’jaeden would consider…
The journey from the Twisting Nether to the planet Draenor was very long. In fact, it had only been a short time since this planet had exploded. Ner’zhul had rashly used the Scepter of Sargeras to escape with his people, but he also blew up his homeland. However, the powerful energy produced by the explosion of the planet also caused severe interference in space. The planar portal that the Legion had once set up on Draenor became unusable because of this.
During the years that Kil’jaeden had captured Ner’zhul and tortured him, the Burning Legion had sent people to investigate the situation of the remaining outer continent of the planet. The one in charge of this matter was the pit lord Magtheridon. His mission was to search for and control the remaining portals in Outland and repair them so that he could use these portals to summon the Burning Legion’s army from the Twisting Nether.
Yes, the Burning Legion had already realized the value of this ruined land. Although the planet had shattered, space wouldn’t break. The Dark Portal here could still connect to Azeroth. As long as the Burning Legion could control this place, there would be another bridgehead for the invasion of Azeroth.
It was precisely because the control and repair of Outland had not been completed that Roy and the others couldn’t teleport over now. They could only use their starship to fly through the Twisting Nether, which would take them at least half a year.
In the bridge, Julia and Benia were studying some information about Outland, which they had found from the Legion. Over the years, Magtheridon had reported some general information to the Legion, but most of it was vague.
Julia and Benia quickly saw some clues from these reports. Benia sneered. “I heard that Magtheridon also comes from the Abyss. It seems like our compatriot from our homeland has some ideas. He seems to be hiding a lot of things in these reports, and he doesn’t want others to interfere with him…’
“Of course!” Roy sneered. “He’s now the supreme commander of Outland. His superiors are far away, and no one can suppress him, so he’s naturally high-spirited. After he starts to become self-important, he naturally doesn’t want the Legion to pay attention to him…”
“If we take over Outland, that guy will definitely be unwilling, right?” Julia smiled slyly. “Darling, if he isn’t honest, let Benia and I beat him up first!”
“Yes, or we can just kill him directly!” Benia nodded in agreement. The two of them looked full of hostility.
“Just don’t kill him. That guy is still useful!” Roy said. “In Outland, resistance still exists. Be it the original Draenor orcs or Azerothians, there are people still resisting the Burning Legion, and Magtheridon can help us test the opponents’ strength.”
According to the original history, Illidan would bring nagas and blood elves to Outland, and he would eventually defeat and imprison Magtheridon. The dignified Abyss demon lord would become an aggrieved prisoner. Now that Roy had appeared, at least Magtheridon could find a boss to support him.
As for Illidan, this legendary demon hunter who wasn’t understood by his compatriots and had been fighting against the Burning Legion in his own way, Roy was very interested in him. He was looking forward to meeting Illidan and the blood elf Prince Kael’thas…
Although the long voyage was boring, it was still passing bit by bit. After some time, the starship that Rafaro had transformed into carried Roy and the others into an unfamiliar starry sky. Here, there were more asteroids visible to the naked eye in space.
According to the star map, this was where the planet Draenor used to be. Draenor had been a huge planet, and after it collapsed, the number of fragments produced was innumerable. Apart from a portion being devoured by stars, the rest of the fragments were gradually being captured by the gravity of other planets during the process of flying apart, forming the strange scene of this starry sky. Other than the omnipresent asteroid belt, the planets visible in the starry sky basically had an additional ring…
The starship Rafaro was very solid, so he smashed through asteroids along the way and continued to go deeper. Finally, he carried Roy and the others to a massive floating piece of land.
This massive land floated quietly in the universe. Because it had enough mass, this land actually produced gravity and binded atmosphere and water to itself. Precisely because of this, this land was not completely silent and instead preserved many lives.
It was floating quietly in the universe, and the entire land was slowly rotating. Around this land, there were many fragments of different sizes. Through the observation window, Roy saw that some of the fragments were actually tethered by enormous black chains, allowing them to maintain a connection with the main body of Outland.
These locked land fragments had one thing in common—there were still ecological characteristics on them…
From the looks of it, this was Magtheridon’s doing. This fellow had actually done a good job. He had tried his best to preserve the ruins of Draenor as much as possible.
Under Roy’s command, Rafaro plunged onto Outland, and Roy, the third commander of the Burning Legion, would start to intervene in the history of this world from here…
