When pa.s.sing through the portal, Roy was flying, so after pa.s.sing through, he was floating in the air. Not far in front of him was a huge city. The city architecture was in the standard night elf style, but it looked much more luxurious. Not far behind was the familiar lake of the Well of Eternity. The s.h.i.+ning lake water and the beautiful city formed a magnificent scene.
To be precise, this city was not actually a city but a palace. But this palace was too big and gorgeous, so much so that it was comparable to the size of a city.
This palace built on the sh.o.r.e of the Well of Eternity was named Zin-Azshari. In the elven language, it meant ‘the Glory of Azshara’. It was built by Queen Azshara to show her wealth, strength, beauty, and authority. The breathtaking palace was extremely luxurious.
Unfortunately, the surging demon army of the Burning Legion spewing out of the portal destroyed this beautiful scene. The demons, who had long lost their patience from waiting, all looked murderous and full of tyranny, and their minds were filled with the desire to kill and destroy.
On a high platform in the palace near the portal, Archimonde and his two adjutants, who had entered first, were there. Opposite them was a group of long-eared elves wearing gorgeous clothes. There were men and women, but standing at the front was a very beautiful female night elf. Her clothes were the most gorgeous, and she was like a proud peac.o.c.k. Closely behind her was a male night elf. From his clothes, his status was not simple.
This group of Highborne was Azshara and her aristocratic supporters. They were here to welcome Sargeras and the Burning Legion, but the situation seemed to be a little different from what they had expected. Clearly, the murderous looks of the demons frightened them, so they were at a loss.
Roy flew over and landed quietly behind Archimonde.
Although in Roy’s eyes, Archimonde, this defeated opponent, was nothing special, and he was even just a boorish fool, in the eyes of the Highborne, Archimonde was incomparably terrifying. His extremely tall body made the Highborne look up at him, and the powerful force emanating from him was like a fatal poison that suffocated people.
In addition, the surrounding demons with big muscles and ferocious faces were staring at them with bloodthirsty eyes, making the Highborne tremble. This was completely different from what they had imagined.
If not for the demons not attacking them, someone might have already escaped in a panic.
The only person present who could resist Archimonde’s pressure was Azshara. Roy stood behind and silently sized up this queen of the Kaldorei Empire. It had to be said that Azshara was indeed very beautiful, and her figure had absolutely perfect proportions. Be it her torso or limbs, they were so fitting when combined together. They were slender but did not lose their sense of strength. Her long ears, her fluttering eyebrows, her tall nose, her seductive lips, and her golden eyes made her look majestic and refined.
Apart from her deep violet skin color and the patterns on her body that Roy couldn’t appreciate, Azshara was indeed a beauty.
Of course, this was just Roy’s opinion. Among the night elves, Azshara’s skin color was a color that fascinated everyone…
What surprised Roy the most was the powerful aura emanating from Azshara. It was a majestic magic power energy, and the level of this power was actually on par with Archimonde’s. She was a night elf who had already reached the demon king level, which was why she could still stand firm in front of Archimonde.
Boom! Azshara stamped the scepter in her hand on the ground, causing the restless Highborne to become silent. They knew that the queen was warning them not to lose their composure.
After the aristocrats calmed down a little, the Highborne one step away from Azshara walked out, stepped forward, and stood in front of Archimonde. He said loudly, “Greetings, Lord Archimonde. I am Xavius, an advisor of Her Majesty the Queen of the Kaldorei. Her Majesty Azshara is very pleased about the arrival of you and the Burning Legion. I wonder if Lord Sargeras has…”
Hearing the name of this night elf, Roy looked at him in surprise. Is this guy Xavius? The first satyr demon of Azeroth in the future?
It was obvious that Xavius was speaking on behalf of Azshara, but he was very careful with his words, afraid of angering Archimonde. After all, this commander of the Burning Legion was notorious for being irritable and violent. Fortunately, Archimonde was in a good mood. He lowered his head and looked at Xavius. “You’ve done well, Xavius. The Legion has successfully entered Azeroth. You have fulfilled your agreement with Lord Sargeras, so you will naturally be rewarded. But it is not enough now. The power of the portal is not enough for Lord Sargeras to descend upon this world. Next, I will take over the portal and continue to strengthen it with the energy of the Well of Eternity. After Lord Sargeras descends, both you and your queen will obtain everything you want!”
“Yes, it is our honor…” Xavius’s eyes glowed with excitement. He looked back at Azshara behind him and found a faint smile on her face.
The reason why Azshara had been bewitched by Sargeras was that he had promised her that he would bestow her with ultimate power so that she could completely rule this world and become its master. This rhetoric was actually similar to what Sargeras had said when he bewitched the eredar. Although it was nothing new, it was indeed useful because those who would be bewitched were usually people with great ambitions. Azshara was no exception. This woman thought highly of herself and didn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth. She had already become complacent under the praises of her race for her beauty, so when Sargeras bewitched her, he didn’t even spend much effort.
During the process of Azshara being bewitched, Xavius had to be mentioned because the first person to contact the Burning Legion was Xavius. This guy was also a fallen. After Sargeras bewitched him first, he got him to advise Azshara. Finally, Azshara and the Highborne listened to the bewitchment and reached an agreement with Sargeras.
Although Azshara was still a little fl.u.s.tered the moment the demons surged out, after hearing Archimonde confirm this agreement, she put down her worries.
She even began to plan matters further ahead and make some subtle a.s.sociations…
“Azshara!” Archimonde spoke again while Azshara was still thinking nonsense. This time, he ignored Xavius and said to her directly, “Lord Sargeras promised you that he would make you the ruler of this world. Now that I’ve brought my army here, I naturally have to help you eliminate all enemies and opposition. Do you understand?”
“Of course!” Azshara raised her chin and nodded. “This is a worthy sacrifice!”
Archimonde was amused by Azshara’s words and grinned sinisterly. “You’re right. This is a worthy sacrifice!”
With that, Archimonde pointed outside the city. “Go. Let the lives of this planet see the will of the Burning Legion!”
The demons pouring out of the portal seemed to have received a signal to let go. They cheered fanatically and rushed toward the periphery of Zin-Azshari. In just a moment, screams and flames quickly rose.
In the name of eliminating the opposition for Azshara, the Burning Legion began to ma.s.sacre night elves. They couldn’t be bothered to distinguish who was the opposition at all. In the eyes of the demons, all the night elves were the opposition…
Death and ma.s.sacre began to spread, and it would soon spread to the entire continent of Kalimdor. At this moment, the night elf empire had a vast sphere of influence, and most of Kalimdor was within its sphere of influence. It was conceivable how far this war would spread.
Faced with demons slaughtering her people, not only did Azshara not worry and stop it, but she even felt that it was all right. This woman was really strange…
After commanding the Legion to attack, Archimonde turned around and looked at Roy. “Osiris, since you’re here, I’ll leave the task of strengthening the portal to you. How about it?”
Roy thought for a while and nodded. “Sure! Anyway, I’m not interested in slaughtering low-level creatures…”
“But I am…” Archimonde’s face was full of impatience as he grinned sinisterly. “I’ve been waiting very impatiently during this period of time…”
After throwing the task to Roy, Archimonde wanted to partic.i.p.ate in the following feast. After he left in a hurry, Xavius carefully came forward while Azshara and the other Highborne secretly sized Roy up with curious expressions.
“Umm… Lord!” Xavius said carefully to Roy. “May I know who you are…”
“My name is Osiris, one of the three commanders of the Burning Legion!” Roy replied lazily. “Don’t ask so much. Find me a place near the portal. I’ll stay there. As for what you want to do, it has nothing to do with me!”
“Uh, yes…” Xavius was shocked and quickly agreed.
After coming into contact with the Burning Legion, Xavius understood the basic power structure of the Burning Legion. But he had only heard that the Burning Legion had two commanders, Archimonde and Kil’jaeden. He had never heard of Roy’s demon name. But how could he have known? Roy had disappeared for too long.
However, Xavius had seen the conversation between Archimonde and Roy just now. To be able to make Archimonde speak as equals, his status was naturally equal to Archimonde’s, so Xavius didn’t doubt it. He made arrangements with Azshara and cleaned a palace for Roy to stay in.
During the first three days of Roy’s stay, Azshara didn’t come to disturb him. But three days later, she finally couldn’t hold it in anymore and conveyed a message through Xavius, hoping that Roy could attend her banquet.
Her people were being slaughtered, but she still had the mood to hold a banquet. Roy couldn’t figure out what this woman was thinking, but this didn’t prevent him from accepting the invitation.
It was a bit unbelievable for a demon to attend a night elf banquet, but it did happen. In order to entertain Roy, Azshara had even ordered people to prepare fresh blood and flesh because she knew that demons liked this.
Of course, this was other demons. Roy didn’t like this, so he only drank wine the entire time. He hadn’t drunk alcohol for a long time…
During the banquet, Azshara kept trying to chat with Roy. She probed about Roy’s relations.h.i.+p with Archimonde and Kil’jaeden, but most of the time, she was asking about Sargeras.
Roy dealt with her question by question. In the end, Azshara felt that it was about time, so she asked him her ultimate purpose in organizing this banquet for him.
She asked Roy, “Lord Osiris, do you think I can become… Lord Sargeras’s wife?”
Upon hearing this, Roy almost spat out the wine in his mouth…
