Chapter 573: Unexpected Situation
....
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In the command center, Archimonde and Kil’jaeden were sitting on high thrones, waiting in boredom, their eyes looking at the entrance from time to time.
Archimonde had grayish-white skin. Although his entire body was full of powerful fel energy and demon aura, he didn’t have demon wings behind him. A couple of tentacles hung down from his lower jaw, indicating his former ident.i.ty as an eredar.
Unlike Archimonde, Kil’jaeden had crimson skin all over his body and a pair of enormous demon wings behind him. His appearance was closer to the traditional demon form.
Under their thrones stood several figures. Three of them were nathrezim dreadlords with pale skin like corpses and a pair of long demon horns on their heads. These gloomy and cunning dreadlords had similar forms. If not for the different colors of the armor they were wearing, it would be difficult for outsiders to distinguish them. At this moment, they were standing with their arms crossed silently, communicating with each other with uncertain eyes from time to time.
Standing beside the three dreadlords were two female eredar demons. Male eredar usually had beard-like tentacles on their lower jaws, while females didn’t have similar organs. These two female eredar demons had impressive figures. One of them had dark purple skin, and the other was dark red. Their demon horns were curved behind their heads like sheep horns.
There was another figure, a female demon in human form. She was very tall, and her clothes were very revealing. Her face was covered by a thin veil, and her thin clothes barely covered her vital parts, revealing a large expanse of white skin that looked very attractive. But this female demon in human form had three pairs of arms.
When Roy brought Julia and Benia and followed Hasabel into the command chamber, he saw this scene. Then he recognized everyone in the chamber at first glance.
If nothing unexpected had happened, the three dreadlords were the three leaders of the nathrezim. But Roy couldn’t tell who was who.
As for the two female eredar demons, they should be Kil’jaeden’s adjutants, Grand Warlock Alythess and Lady Sacrolash, the famous twins in the Warcraft world…
As for the six-armed female demon, she should be a priestess of the Coven of s.h.i.+varra, but he didn’t know which one.
Mygoodness, most of the commanders of the Burning Legion are here…
It was not surprising that Roy recognized them at a glance. What was surprising was that after seeing Roy’s appearance, Archimonde and Kil’jaeden suddenly stood up from their thrones and looked at him in surprise. Below the throne, the expressionless three leaders of the dreadlords also revealed surprised expressions. Although they quickly hid it, Roy still saw it.
After Hasabel led Roy and the others into the chamber, she was about to report to Archimonde and Kil’jaeden when she heard the two commanders standing up in surprise. “Osiris?! Why is it you?!”
Hearing this shout, even Roy was stunned!
What’s going on?! Tm certain that this is the first time I’ve seen Archimonde and Kil’jaeden, but why do these two know my name?And from the looks ofit, theyre obviously very familiar with me…
The situation at the scene was beyond Roy’s expectations. Although he was full of doubts, he wisely didn’t say anything. He maintained his cold expression and looked at the two of them without saying a word.
Archimonde and Kil’jaeden looked at each other and walked down the tall steps together. They had only maintained the size of ordinary eredar before, but as they walked down, their bodies grew bigger. When they arrived in front of Roy, they were about the same height as him.
“Osiris, where have you been all these years?” Archimonde was impatient and asked, “Do you know that Lord Sargeras has been ordering us to find you?”
“Sargeras? Looking for me?” Roy didn’t expect this situation. It seemed that not only did Archimonde and Kil’jaeden know him, but even Sargeras seemed to Imow him.
This inexplicable conversation confused Roy. He really didn’t know what was going on, but he acted perfectly and didn’t reveal any flaws. He replied to the question just now, “Why were you looking for me? Am I not here?”
Kil’jaeden’s thoughts were deeper. When Archimonde was talking to Roy just now, he hadn’t said anything and only observed Roy’s reaction from the side. Now that he heard what Roy said, he sized him up and then looked at Julia and Benia, who had been following behind Roy. He nodded imperceptibly, seemingly confirming that Roy’s ident.i.ty was not fake. Then he asked, “Osiris, you and your people have disappeared for thousands of years. What’s going on? The Legion has been searching for traces of you in various worlds but found nothing. Now, you suddenly appeared?”
“Well, it’s a long story…” Roy pretended to shake his head and sighed. “I’ll explain it to you slowly when I have time. To be honest, I thought you had forgotten about me after not seeing me for so long. The Legion is no longer the same as before. There are many people I don’t know, so I had no choice but to recommend myself to come here.”
Behind them, the three leaders of the dreadlords, who were blocked by the figures of Archimonde and Kil’jaeden, couldn’t help looking at each other when they heard this.
Archimonde seemed to accept Roy’s explanation and nodded, but Kil’jaeden didn’t say anything. After thinking for a while, he said to Roy, “Osiris, you’ve been away for so long, and Archimonde and I are now in control of the army. You’re not familiar with the current situation, so it’s not easy for us to arrange your position for the time being. Now that Lord Sargeras isn’t in the Twisting Nether, we’ll wait for him to return before making a decision. Take your people to rest first. We still need your help in the Legion’s crusade.”
“Alright, I understand. Things are the same, but the people are different. Let’s leave it at that for now!” Roy nodded expressionlessly. Kil’jaeden ordered Hasabel to find a palace for Roy and his group to rest in. Hasabel didn’t understand what was going on, but she realized that this new Demon King Osiris seemed to know the two big shots of the Legion, so she didn’t dare to be negligent. She respectfully received the order and led Roy and the others to leave.
After Roy and the others left, there was silence in the command chamber. Finally, the s.h.i.+varra priestess asked, “Lord Archimonde, Lord Kil’jaeden, who is this… Osiris?”
Archimonde and Kil’jaeden walked back to their thrones above the steps and sat down before answering, “He was the third commander of the Burning Legion… But that was thousands of years ago!”
“Thousands of years ago? Isn’t that when the Legion was just formed?” The s.h.i.+varra priestess was surprised. “Why have we never heard of his existence?”
However, Archimonde and Kil’jaeden were unwilling to say anything else. Archimonde berated, “Shut up! You will know what you should know, and you shouldn’t ask about what you shouldn’t know!”
The s.h.i.+varra priestess trembled and replied respectfully, “Yes!”
The Eredar Twins didn’t say anything from beginning to end. They were smarter and could tell that Archimonde and Kil’jaeden were not in a good mood, so they tactfully treated themselves as invisible.
The three leaders of the dreadlords didn’t say anything, but the silent exchanges between their eyes became more and more frequent. As for what they were communicating about, only they themselves knew…
While leaving the command center and following Hasabel to the residence, Julia and Benia didn’t say anything. They only sat on Fat Tiger’s back and followed quietly. Roy acted as though nothing had happened and continued to communicate with Hasabel about the landscape of Argus
When they finally arrived at the residence and Hasabel left, Julia and Benia asked Roy anxiously through soul transmission, “Darling, what happened just now? Why do those two eredar demons know you?”
“I don’t know either!” Roy stroked his demon horns thoughtfully as he paced back and forth in the residence. “To be honest, this situation is a little beyond my expectations. From what Kil’jaeden said, I roughly deduced some of the situation. It seems that when they knew me, I was on equal footing with them, and I was also one of the commanders of the Burning Legion…” “But didn’t we just enter this world?” Benia asked doubtfully.
“So there’s only one explanation…” Roy turned around to look at the two of them, his eyes flickering. “Time has changed… Because something happened, we might have gone backward in the River of Time. Otherwise, there’s no way to explain the current situation…”
Julia and Benia looked at each other and asked in puzzlement, “Didn’t Her
Majesty Lilith say that time can’t be reversed?”
“It’s not that it’s impossible to reverse the flow of time. It’s just that Lilith isn’t willing to do it…” Roy replied after some thought. “After returning to the Deadly Sin level, Lilith didn’t show her power of time, but I think she can definitely reverse the flow of time at the Deadly Sin level. But she herself said that interfering with history will cause too many variables in the future. In order to ensure that she can successfully achieve her goals, she rarely interferes with history!
“Besides, the person who did this might not necessarily be Lilith!” Roy said. “Perhaps with her strength, she can quietly change the time we entered this world, but she has no reason to do so… The feather he left me has never been activated, so I don’t think it’s Lilith who changed our time but someone else! ” “Is there anyone else who can do this?” Julia asked in surprise.
Roy’s eyes flickered, and a smirk appeared on his face. “Of course. Moreover, I know the name of that person… or rather, that fellow!”
Nozdormu! Roy could only think of this fellow, this leader of the bronze dragonflight who knew how to play with time! It seemed like he would likely make a trip to Azeroth next.
Moreover, it would most likely be in the name of the Legion…
