After escaping back, Archimonde flew into a rage and kept cursing those damn Dragon Aspects in front of Roy.

To be honest, he had indeed been shocked by the power erupting from the Dragon Soul. He couldn’t understand how these natives, who hadn’t even walked out of their home planet, could have such a powerful divine artifact. It should have been an easy task, but now, there were many changes.

Roy silently drank the moonlight mead brewed by the elves and watched Archimonde vent his emotions without saying a word. He knew that this fellow was reckless, but he wasn’t really brainless. There had to be a reason for him to act like this in front of him.

As expected, after venting for a while, Archimonde seemed to remember something and said to Roy, “Osiris, are you just going to sit and watch? Shouldn’t you take action at this time?”

It turned out that this fellow was acting in front of Roy with the goal of wanting Roy to help. Archimonde remembered very clearly that he and Kil’jaeden had joined forces, but Roy had ruthlessly taught them a lesson. Although Roy had kept their souls and let them be resurrected in the end, he had always been brooding over this matter. Over the past 12,000 years, Archimonde had led the Burning Legion to fight all over, so his strength had naturally improved a little. Now that Roy had returned, he was a little restless, wanting to see Roy take action and see how big the gap was between them.

Roy guessed this thought almost immediately, feeling that Archimonde’s acting was terrible.

In fact, when Sargeras recruited Archimonde and Kil’jaeden, Roy knew that even if these two improved in the future, their upper limit wouldn’t be too high. The reason was simple. They were not orthodox demons.

Whether it was Archimonde, Kil’jaeden, or the eredar demons on Argus, they were all demons transformed from fel energy. Although their strength had risen dramatically after receiving the fel energy, in the end, this increase in strength was related to the energy nature of fel energy. The violent power of fel energy and the high quality of the energy were extremely powerful in the form they manifested. In a short time, it would indeed give the eredar demons the illusion that their strength had skyrocketed.

But actually? In fact, fel energy was one of the basic rules of this universe, and it belonged to a kind of orthodox energy. The practice of this energy still relied on knowledge and truth in the end. Only by understanding this energy in depth from the source could people better grasp and use it. So, from this perspective, eredar demons and other fel energy users were still walking the path of mages.

It was undeniable that the Void energy mixed inside fel energy would cause mutations in the user’s body. These mutations could increase the user’s strength to a certain extent, but it was still limited.

This was the greatest difference between eredar demons and other users of fel energy compared to orthodox demons. Orthodox demons could improve themselves by constantly devouring souls because of their soul devouring talent, but eredar demons could not. After 12,000 years, if an orthodox demon hunted souls through war, their strength would have probably doubled by now, but Archimonde’s hadn’t. He had indeed improved a lot, but in Roy’s opinion, this speed was too slow.

Roy had already left Archimonde and Kil’jaeden far behind, but not only did Archimonde not know it, he even wanted to instigate Roy to take action.

Roy couldn’t be bothered with him and directly pointed out to him, “Archimonde, the divine artifact used by the dragons is indeed very powerful, but this is because it gathers the power of the Aspects, and the power of the Aspects ultimately comes from the titans. So the power of the artifact you saw is actually the power of the titans and not the true power of the dragons. There’s no need to worry. Internal strife among the dragons has already appeared. I estimate that this artifact won’t be used to deal with the Legion for the time being. You can do whatever you need to do.”

Then Roy couldn’t help mocking Archimonde. “Besides, no matter how powerful that artifact is, it shouldn’t be easy to kill you. You are a commander of the Burning Legion after all. Can you not be frightened by a group of natives?”

“Impossible, absolutely impossible!” Archimonde roared. “How am I frightened? Don’t spout nonsense!”

Just like that, after being provoked by Roy’s words, Archimonde forgot about instigating him to take action. He went out aggressively, gathered a large number of Burning Legion demons, and prepared to lead another expedition.

However, although the Dragon Soul was only so-so in Roy’s opinion, the appearance of this divine artifact not only affected Archimonde but even Sargeras. After Archimonde reported it, Sargeras even specially used magic to contact Archimonde to ask about the details of the Dragon Soul.

Yes, Sargeras had returned. Before the invasion began, he had mysteriously disappeared for a while. Roy guessed that he might have used some method to communicate with Azeroth’s world-soul in a dream. But when the Burning Legion invaded and the War of the Ancients was in full swing, Sargeras quietly returned to Argus to wait for the portal to open so that his true body could go to Azeroth.

Sargeras didn’t pay much attention to Roy’s return. He had almost gotten used to Roy’s elusive disappearances and reappearances. But he seemed to care a lot about Roy’s words about the Dragon Soul. Perhaps it was the keywords ‘power of the titans’. So after Sargeras asked about the Dragon Soul in detail, his order came quickly. He wanted the demons of the Burning Legion to find a way to get this divine artifact.

Roy was a little perplexed at first, but he quickly understood. Just like in history, Sargeras might have realized that divine artifacts with the power of the titans could help bypass the mechanism of the planet’s shield and help the Legion expand the portal faster!

Sargeras was already very dissatisfied with the expansion speed of the portal. He couldn’t wait to descend upon Azeroth and have a personal face-to-face exchange with Azeroth’s world-soul… He even specified that Roy should take action personally to snatch this divine artifact.

Roy was speechless. His life of decadence was so comfortable during this period of time, and he was still thinking about having fun for a while, but he didn’t expect this task to fall on him.

However, before Roy could leave, Illidan came to him first. He proposed a plan to steal the Dragon Soul to Roy and then presented the plan, hoping to have the opportunity to meet Sargeras.

During this period of time, Illidan had actually obtained the trust of the demons of the Burning Legion, including Archimonde. It couldn’t be helped. Illidan was really ruthless when he killed his own people. Although Roy knew that this was a ruse of self-injury, others didn’t know. Illidan’s infamy as a traitor had spread among the night elves. Every night elf gnashed their teeth at the mention of Illidan, so how could the demons not believe him?

Moreover, Illidan had no intention of saving Tyrande, which undoubtedly strengthened people’s trust in him. Even Xavius no longer paid attention to him.

On Tyrande’s side, a group of Highborne had been in contact with her recently, and the leader of these Highborne was an elf named Dath’Remar Sunstrider, who would become the founder of Silvermoon City and Quel’Thalas in the future. As the Burning Legion wreaked havoc in Kalimdor, even the Highborne, who had been following Azshara, gradually had differences and dissidents. Dath’Remar represented this group of Highborne who had disagreements with Azshara.

He found an opportunity to meet Tyrande secretly in the prison. He told her that a group of Highborne was preparing to escape from the palace. If she could guarantee the interests of these Highborne rebels on behalf of the night elves, they would help her escape.

Tyrande didn’t think too much about it and immediately agreed. Elune had taught her to be compassionate toward others, and she felt that she should give these Highborne a chance to redeem themselves for their reckless actions.

Thus, a plan to help Tyrande escape was secretly being carried out, and even Illidan didn’t know.

Illidan’s plan to save Tyrande was actually to obtain the trust of the upper echelons of the Burning Legion. After obtaining some authority, he would think of a way to release Tyrande. Although this plan was not particularly dangerous, the problem was that it would take a long time. Illidan was actually burning with anxiety about this. Now that he had obtained the trust of the demons, it was time to take greater steps. This was why he proposed the plan to steal the Dragon Soul and wanted to meet Sargeras.

Illidan knew very well that Sargeras was the ruler of the entire Burning Legion. If he wanted to obtain a certain amount of authority, he had to get Sargeras’s permission.

But now, his first step was an obstacle because his request to meet Sargeras required Demon King Osiris’s approval!

Kneeling on one knee in front of Roy, Illidan didn’t dare to raise his head, afraid that his eyes would accidentally reveal something. He was extremely uneasy as he recalled Krasus’s evaluation of Osiris. His heart was palpitating, afraid that Roy would reject his request…
