Chapter 570: Early?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

This dark green beam of light seemed to be a signal. At the same time, hundreds of beams of light erupted from this planet. These beams of light flew into space like rain and headed straight for Roy’s starship.

Being attacked suddenly, Roy was stunned for a moment. But then he reacted and immediately ordered Rafaro to dodge.

The hull of the oid Seeker turned into an afterimage as it instantly disappeared. Then it reappeared tens of thousands of kilometers away. The dark green beams of light that erupted from the ground directly passed through the spot where the Void Seeker had been just now and only hit the afterimage.

“Turn around and charge down!” Roy ordered coldly.

He understood what had just happened. If nothing unexpected happened, it should be the fel cannons of the Burning Legion, the surface-to-space kind. In other words, this inconspicuous planet was actually a defensive position of the Burning Legion.

Rafaro controlled the starship to circle back in space and then plunged toward the surface of the planet. At an extremely fast speed, he quickly passed through the thin dark red atmosphere of the planet.

Yes, there was actually an atmosphere around this planet. Although it was very thin, it did exist. Roy didn’t know what gas the dark red atmosphere was made of. After passing through, he saw the gray surface of this planet. This was the true color of the planet.

After breaking through the atmosphere, the Void Seeker headed straight for the place where the beams of light had erupted. It was a tall mountain range. Looking down from the sky, they could see the densely-packed fel cannons arranged on these mountains.

These fel cannons were made in the shape of giant dragon skulls. They were supported by bases, and the insides of the metal skulls were burning fel energy cores. Faint green light reflected from the ferocious teeth and eye sockets of the skulls, looking full of evil.

And the ones controlling these fel cannons were a group of strange-looking fellows.

They had ugly, fat humanoid bodies covered in metal stitches. Their feet were demon-like hooves, and their arms had been modified and replaced by rough mechanical tools. Their eyes had also become electronic eyes, and their mouths were full of sharp teeth, making these creatures look violent and cruel.

These half-demon, half-mechanical creatures were the mo’arg of the Burning Legion. The mo’arg actually referred to a special demon race, and they were powerful and smart demon members of the Burning Legion. They had different forms, and the subspecies included the short gan’arg, the strong felguards, the enormous mo’arg brutes, and fel lords. The ones in charge of controlling the fel cannons to shoot at Roy and the others were the mo’arg engineers. Engineers were also the most orthodox profession of the mo’arg, and they were famous

tor making all kinds ot war weapons tor the Burning Legion.

The appearance of Roy’s starship did not belong to the style of the Burning Legion, so when the starship passed by this planet and was discovered by the mo’arg engineers, they immediately realized that it wasn’t a product of the Burning Legion. So they directly opened fire on the starship without even thinking.

In the Twisting Nether, the Burning Legion was that domineering…

However, what the mo’arg engineers didn’t expect was that such dense surface-to-space firepower didn’t shoot down this strange starship, but they instead lost track of it. When they were still searching for where the starship went, the starship suddenly appeared above their heads!

The mo’arg engineers stared at the Void Seeker above them with their mouths agape, dumbfounded. The streamlined shape of the starship fascinated the mo’arg engineers. They really wanted to study this starship, so after coming back to their senses, they immediately shouted frantically, intending to get the fel cannons to continue firing and shoot down the starship.

But at this moment, Roy had already flown out of the starship with Julia and the others and looked at the mo’arg engineers below with an unfriendly expression.

“Demon?!” The mo’arg craftsmen were confused by Roy flying out of the starship, and their hands couldn’t help slowing down.

The Burning Legion was a legion formed by all kinds of demons. Although Roy and the others looked very different from the demons of the Burning Legion at first glance, the demon aura couldn’t be fake, so the mo’arg engineers were unsure if they were members of the Legion.

With a thud, Roy landed on the ground, and his immense weight shook the ground. After landing, he looked coldly at the surrounding mo’arg engineers and asked, “Why did you attack me?!”

He didn’t attack immediately. After all, it wasn’t easy for him to encounter demons of the Burning Legion here, and he had to get some information. So he only suppressed his anger and communicated with these mo’arg engineers.

After hearing Roy’s question, a tall and bald mo’arg walked out. He scratched his demon horns and asked carefully, “Who are you? What demon race are you? Why haven’t I seen you before?”

But as soon as he finished speaking, a gigantic figure pounced over. Fat Tiger jumped out from behind and directly knocked the bald mo’arg engineer to the ground. Fat Tiger’s immense strength was not something the mo’arg engineer could resist, and he easily pressed him down, causing a panic-stricken commotion among the mo’arg engineers.

Seeing the sharp teeth of Fat Tiger’s three heads dripping with saliva in front of him, the mo’arg engineer was frightened and quickly said,

“Misunderstanding! Misunderstanding! We didn’t know you were demons!

Your Excellency, please forgive our recklessness!”

The immense strength surprised the mo’arg engineer. Only then did he realize the disparity between this group of new demons and their ranks. Most of the demons in the Twisting Nether were different from orthodox Abyss demons, but they could also feel the demon king-level pressure from Roy. It was the same formidable might as Archimonde and Kil’jaeden!

“I ask, you answer!” Roy allowed Fat Tiger to continue suppressing the mo’arg craftsman as he came in front of him and looked down at him. “What is this planet? Why are you here?”

“It… it doesn’t have a name,” the bald mo’arg engineer hurriedly said. “This is an ore planet numbered 00996. We’re just here to collect ore for the Legion.”

“Ore planet? Then why are there so many cannons?” Roy sneered. “Are you lying to me?”

“It’s not like that. These fel cannons were set up a long time ago. At that time, the Legion still had a base of operations on this planet, but it has now become an ore planet!” the bald mo’arg explained. “In fact, these fel cannons haven’t been used for many years. We received orders from the higher-ups to repair and dismantle some fel cannons and send the usable ones to the front line…

“So, when you were repairing them, you found my starship and wanted to test them out, right?” Roy smiled sinisterly.

The bald mo’arg wanted to answer yes, but after seeing Roy’s expression, he was so frightened that he didn’t dare to speak anymore. He swore that if he dared to say this answer, he would definitely die an ugly death…

‘Where’s your ship?” Seeing that he didn’t dare to speak, Roy snorted coldly and didn’t question further. “It’s impossible that you came to this planet without taking a ship, right?”

The bald mo’arg heaved a sigh of relief after escaping death. He quickly replied,

“It’s a mining ship more than forty kilometers southeast of here… Your Excellency, I can take you there!”

Roy nodded and said to Julia and Benia, “Stay here and kill those who dare to act recklessly!”

With that, he picked up the bald mo’arg engineer from the ground, spread his wings, and flew southeast.

It was only about forty kilometers, and Roy arrived in a short while. He quickly saw the so-called mining ship. It was an extremely large ship with a strong demon style, but starships made with magic technology often had a crude and rough feeling. It was completely different from the precision and fineness of technological ones. Looking at this tattered mining ship with iron patches everywhere, Roy really didn’t know how to describe it.

There were other mo’arg engineers on board the mining ship, but after Roy landed on it, he walked straight into the depths of the ship and kicked away the mo’arg engineers blocking the way.

After arriving at the ship bridge without any obstruction, Roy found what he wanted to find the most.

A star map!

Although it was only a mining ship for the Legion’s logistics, star maps were the most basic standard for every spaceship. Even in the Twisting Nether, star maps were a requirement to sail.

This ship’s star map was arranged above an energy generator, and it was floating in the air like a holographic image. Every planet could be zoomed in and out individually, and the appearance of celestial bodies could be clearly observed.

But after Roy studied it, he found that this star map only recorded the nearest base of the Burning Legion and the situation of the planets around it.

After asking the bald mo’arg engineer, Roy found that the nearest base from his position on the star map was called Edurey, a planet that was not in his memory.

This was normal. In fact, the demons of the Burning Legion were all over the

Twisting Nether, and they had built countless bases on the planets of the Twisting Nether. Moreover, Roy had learned from communicating with the bald mo’arg engineer that the Twisting Nether was actually constantly expanding. The ore planet where the mo’arg were on was initially at the edge of the Twisting Nether and the physical universe. But as the Twisting Nether expanded, these former forward bases slowly became rear bases, causing the Burning Legion to have no choice but to migrate outward continuously. The former operation bases would gradually become like ore planets, and the bases above would slowly be abandoned.

But in any case, the Edurey base still existed. According to the bald mo’arg engineer, there was a portal there that connected to the current headquarters of the Legion, Argus!

After obtaining this information, Roy took off the magic crystal that stored the star map information and prepared to bring it back to Rafaro to provide navigation. As for how these mo’arg engineers would return, he didn’t need to care.

Before leaving, Roy suddenly turned around and asked, “By the way, who is the leader of the Legion now?”

“It’s… it’s Lord Archimonde and Lord Kil’jaeden!” the bald mo’arg replied while looking at Roy pitifully.

Roy was surprised.. Are Archimonde and Kil’jaeden still alive? In other words, I came to this world quite early?
