Sharlayan had a clear understanding from the beginning that the Burning Legion headed by Sargeras would never give up on Azeroth. They would do everything possible to infiltrate the world and weaken Azeroth's defense strength.
The Highmountain Tauren performed very well in the War of the Ancients. Huon Highmountain, armed with the Eagle Spear, personally killed Tichondrius, the leader of the Nazrezim, with the help of Etro.
In the thousands of years since then, the Burning Legion has kept a relatively low profile. Only the Council of Tirisfal could come into contact with more demons that had infiltrated into Azeroth, which triggered the battle between Aegwynn and the incarnation of Saragos.
Great war.
This incident was an opportunity for the Burning Legion to accelerate its penetration into Azeroth.
After defeating the Avatar of Sargeras, Aegwynn sealed his body in the Temple of the Moon in Saldanath and sunk the entire temple into the sea.
But in fact, the divided soul of Sargeras had already taken the opportunity to hide in the body of the complacent Aegwynn, and was later transferred to Aegwynn's son Medivh.
He subtly controlled the last guardian of Tirisfal, and without the knowledge of Lord Medivh, he assisted the orcs in building the Dark Portal to invade Azeroth.
Sarlayan had suspected before that Sargeras might have deliberately revealed the news about the presence of fel artifacts in the Tomb of Sargeras to Gul'dan.
The purpose is to lure Gul'dan, who wants to become a god, to raise the Tomb of Sargeras from the sea, so that the high-level demons summoned by using the body of Sargeras as a medium can sneak into Azeroth to cause trouble.
In front of "Namor", Sarlayan forcibly read Shallista's soul memory.
This process was very painful. Although Shallista's soul was not shattered on the spot like the fragile Drogbal, it was impossible for her to regain consciousness until her next resurrection.
The Dread Lord, whose alias was "Namor" and whose real name was Dagestans, watched with his own eyes as Sarlayan crushed Shallista's soul to pieces on the spot, and the body was taken back to the high elf magister for careful study.
This is the first time that Quel'Thalas has obtained such a complete demon corpse. It is a good opportunity to explore and gain a deeper understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of the Xivalra race.
Sarlayan kept his promise to Dagestans and did not torture him after he vomited out all the information he knew. Instead, he and Valeela simply sent this guy on his way and divided the legendary beast equally.
Demonic experience.
Together with Shallista, who was defeated by Abisian before, the experience gained from these two legendary demons pushed Sarlayan's warrior level to 48, one step closer to the bottleneck.
According to Dagestanis, the task of infiltrating and driving a wedge between the two races in Highmountain was not directly given by Sargeras, but by Kil'jaeden the Deceiver.
"A fraudster... He really lives up to his name."
Since Sargeras, the Burning Legion has had two high-status commanders, namely Archimonde the Defiler and Kil'jaeden the Deceiver.
In terms of hard power, the polluter is above the fraudster, and he is Sargeras' chief lieutenant.
But in terms of conspiracy and conspiracy, even Archimonde at the peak of his intelligence was far from Kil'jaeden.
Due to the sudden power gained from the gift of Sargeras, Archimonde was not able to maintain his mentality like the steady Kil'jaeden.
The Polluter has less and less time to use his brain. He prefers to show off his strong strength simply and directly, and his resourcefulness has obviously deteriorated.
According to the barrage, this situation is actually not difficult to understand.
Archimonde and Kil'jaeden are from the same race - the eredar.
This is a powerful cosmic civilization with highly developed technology, culture and magic. Three archons jointly guide the direction of civilization.
Sargeras took a fancy to the eredar's intelligence and great potential.
He hid the twisted form of the fallen Titan, transformed into the noble bronze Titan form, and appeared in person to seduce the three giants of the Eredar, trying to get them all to join the Burning Legion.
Archimonde and Kil'jaeden were immersed in the grand vision described by Sargeras, hoping to follow Sargeras to conquer the entire universe.
But Velen, the most mature and prudent of the three giants, had doubts about this. His innate prophetic ability allowed him to see an unknown dark shadow in Sargeras.
In the end, the three consuls parted ways, and Kil'jaeden and Archimonde led most of their tribesmen to join the Burning Legion. The once blue-purple skin was distorted by evil energy and turned into an ugly dark red.
A small number of people who were unwilling to join the Burning Legion fled their home planet under the leadership of Velen and traveled around the universe. From then on, they called themselves Draenei, which means exile in the Eredar language.
Compared with Kil'jaeden and Velen, Archimonde's age and experience are much different, and he is a whole generation younger than the two.
Archimonde originally studied under a wizard leader named Thal'kiel. He was one of the original three archons, leading the eredar people together with Velen and Kil'jaeden.
The barrage has been emphasizing that a mage who plays with arcane magic will always be unable to control his desire to die... commonly known as the desire for knowledge.
Thakir is no exception.
He has reached the end of the arcane path that a mortal can reach, and unless he can break through the last layer of boundaries, he will never make any progress in the future.
The Eredar are a race that lives longer than the elves. They have a natural lifespan of tens of thousands of years.
Thal'kiel struggled hard for many years, but was still unable to break through the limits of being a mortal. He finally got tired of it.
By chance, he came into contact with evil energy, another source of power in the universe that was completely different from arcane magic, and he quickly became addicted to it.
Thal'kiel's study of fel energy aroused the concerns of Kil'jaeden and Velen, who hoped that Thal'kir would give up fel energy and return to the right path.
Satqir became angry when he was not recognized by his colleagues, and the three broke up unhappy.
Thal'kiel no longer wanted to share supreme authority with others. He tried to become the dictator of the Eredar and let evil spread wildly in the Eredar civilization.
Before he finally caused a disaster, Thal'kiel was reported by his most "loyal" apprentice Archimonde, who teamed up with Velen and Kil'jaeden to kill Thal'kiel.
Archimonde beheaded his "mentor" with his own hands, decorated it carefully and kept it as a souvenir, euphemistically calling it a lesson and a warning to others not to make the same mistake as Thal'kiel.
Compared with the scheming Velen and Kil'jaeden, the young Archimonde's acting style is more radical.
When the Burning Legion was fighting in the north and south, Archimonde would always be on the front line, earning the awe of the demons through his powerful strength.
Kil'jaeden, on the other hand, prefers to hide behind and manipulate the overall situation, using conspiracy and tricks to achieve his own goals.
Within the Burning Legion, where whoever has the bigger fist is the boss, Archimonde's status is slightly higher than Kil'jaeden, and it is said that the Defiler himself is very proud of this.
Kil'jaeden was unimpressed by Archimonde's complacency.
Since joining the Burning Legion, his character has become more gloomy than before. He has spent a lot of time searching for Velen's whereabouts over the past 20,000 years, forcing Delaney into desperate situations time and time again.
The barrage explained to Sharlayan in detail how Velen and Kil'jaeden fell in love and killed each other. The two former good friends eventually became opposites due to their different ideas.
There is a saying that love leads to hate. As good as the two were once, Kil'jaeden hated Velen for leaving without saying goodbye.
It was precisely because the pursuit of Velen delayed Kil'jaeden so much of his energy that Archimonde was able to take the opportunity to defeat him and become the apparent second-in-command of the Burning Legion.
"On the surface?"
Sarlayan asked in confusion: "What about secretly?"
[Of course it’s the Titan Argus.]
[Titan Argus is a fallen titan conceived by the soul of the Eredar's mother star. He was contaminated by Sargeras with evil energy in his mother's womb and will only obey Sargeras' orders. ]
[No matter how much Sargeras hates the Eredar, he still trusts his fellow Titans the most. 】
【Archimund? Kil'jaeden? Who is that? I'm really unfamiliar with him.】
"Another fallen titan..."
Sarlayan frowned. One Sargeras was difficult enough, but he didn't expect there was another one.
[Don’t worry, Argus’s congenital deficiency is that he was a premature baby forcibly born by evil energy. He cannot leave the Twisting Nether and expedition to other planets. 】
[Maybe in the future, the Azeroth coalition will go into full-scale war with the Burning Legion, and they will confront him head-on during the expedition to the planet Argus, but at least it is far from the time yet.]
