Light's Dawn of Azeroth

Chapter 634, Part 2: The Demon Who Was Bullied Decides to Launch a Great Revenge - Bonus Chapter [15]

(Bonus chapter for the "Fish Lying in Peach Blossom Spring" brother [1/5])
Just as Diakum was acquiring the "Three Sacred Treasures" for his Argus Lord, completing his secondary armament and preparing to deliver a devastating blow to any invading enemy, somewhere in the boundless starry sea, a rather large demon fleet had just completed a space jump.

A massive, astonishing fel energy rift was torn open, and then more than three hundred demon starships emerged one after another from the fel energy vortex.

They appear majestic and imposing, awe-inspiring throughout the starry sea, yet they dare to form such a dense warp formation during their voyage. Are they truly unafraid of being caught off guard by the Holy Light Legion and wiped out in one fell swoop?

But in reality, the fact that the demons were now desperately relying on fleet warp to launch invasions across the vast expanse of stars like tortoises already demonstrated the Burning Legion's "downfall".

The demons used to invade by going directly to war hubs like Mardon Star. They could decide where to attack and invade your doorstep by midnight of the same day.

In their previous war systems, fleets were only used to deal with some tougher worlds. In most cases, the demons' "portal assault" tactics could easily and pleasantly take down one pathetic civilization after another.

The fact that Mardon has been bombed by the Vigilantes, forcing the demons to use their fleets to transport troops, is a tragedy in itself.

The elite demons in this fleet were all holding their breath, from the high demon lord to the veteran demon guards, they all wished they could capture the Vigilant and let him experience the art of demon torture.

Of course, this was just talk.

If you really put them in the presence of the vigilant, they will absolutely come up with a bunch of excuses.

The facts have proven that the Holy Light Butcher is truly the nemesis of demons. That guy might have been born just to annoy demons. His series of glorious achievements have made any demon with a brain give up the idea of ​​challenging the Watcher.

When you face an enemy stronger than you, you might think of fighting back. But when the difference in strength becomes too great, forget about fighting back. Even the demons who are your enemies secretly worship the bastard who slaughtered them deep in their hearts.

This is normal.

Demons are fel-elemental beings who are inherently attracted to strength. The Vigilant kills them like chickens, which naturally earns them their worship. This does not conflict with the fact that the first thing the demons do every morning is to curse the Vigilant.

They hate the vigilant’s atrocities, but worship its invincible power.

These two can coexist perfectly well.

Moreover, recently, someone has been spreading rumors that have given the demons living in the shadow of the Holy Light Butcher a glimmer of hope for liberation.

The power of the Vigilant Diakum is growing too fast. He will soon become a lesser god, which means that the Vigilant will be forcibly brought under the control of the Holy Light and will no longer be able to freely enter the material world to unleash his power.

Ha, the Vigilant is going to be refused entry to the material world because he's too powerful. Once he's gone, won't our good days of dominating the planetary seas be back?
Wonderful.

Although any demon with a shred of shame knows that such thoughts are shameless and despicable, since you can't beat them, hoping that they will ascend on their own is not a bad way to deal with it.

Given the current thinking of the Burning Legion's demons, on the day the Vigilant "ascends to heaven," the happiest people will probably not be the Lightwalkers in the Star Sea, but rather these fel beings who have been oppressed too miserably. When that day comes, there will probably be demons setting off cannons in the Star Sea to celebrate.

We'll create a few worlds for the Vigilant to celebrate, just to send away the plague god.

Moreover, judging from Diakum's exaggerated rate of power growth, it is estimated that they will be able to successfully send away the plague god within the next few years. At that time, Lord Sargeras will be troubled by the harassment of the Vigilantes, and these demon soldiers can happily continue their burning expedition.

Wow, I can't even imagine how wonderful that feeling would be.

"What a pathetic bunch of insects!"

On the flagship of this demonic fleet, Shaper Sachil withdrew his burning will.

It had just casually sensed the thoughts of its demons and almost made the Shaper laugh in exasperation.

It was understandable that the demons born from the Twisting Nether feared Diakum; Sachiel didn't blame them, as demons were inherently cowardly creatures. But the fact that those from the Eredar, the Enchanted Manaery, shared the same view greatly displeased Sachiel.

In its mind, although Man'ari is a demon, it should remember that it comes from the world of Argus and was once an Eredar. Now that the Eredar have produced such a prominent brethren, it's one thing if you don't feel honored, but why do you expect Diakum to ascend?
how?

Is it because they think that after the Vigilant ascends, the outrageous power of the "Ashbringer" will disappear into the sea of ​​stars?

fool!

"On the day Diakum ascends to godhood, the Ashbringers in the Star Sea will not decrease in number; on the contrary, they will appear in large numbers as a path of holy light."

Sachir leaned back on his skull throne and sneered:
"At that time, the demons will not have to worry about the Vigilant coming down to beat them, but about countless Vigilant people causing them trouble all over the starry sea."

However, considering the demons' warlike nature, this escalation of the war might not necessarily be a bad thing.

As long as there are no more Lightwalkers like Diakum who are beyond the reach of the Holy Light, they will also throw themselves into destruction with extreme destructive passion.

"Ha, what a bunch of good insects born for destruction."

The Sculptor's remarks were almost an open mockery of the demons, but the demon engineers on the bridge pretended not to hear them. The Burning Legion was a hierarchical organization, so what was wrong with the High Demon Lord casually making a few sharp comments about the demons?
It's already quite merciful that it didn't randomly select a few lucky demons to jump off the starship for its own amusement.

There are plenty of such murderous creatures among the great demons in the Legion. After all, they are fel-elemental beings, so it's not surprising that they do anything outrageous.

"Shaping One, this is the invasion plan."

A high demon of Man'ari respectfully handed a fel runestone to Sachir, part of their war strategy specifically designed for the world of Azeroth.

Sachir glanced at it briefly, then nodded.

The warlocks under his command of Man'ari truly knew how to learn from their failures. This time, their plan was extremely detailed, summarizing the experiences of the War of the Ancients ten thousand years ago and the Battle of Mount Hyjal last year.

But being detailed doesn't mean being satisfied. Sachiel casually crushed the runestone and said expressionlessly:

"Now that we've left Argus, I should tell you the real objective of this invasion: we're not going to Azeroth."

Let's go to Draenor!

The war to invade Azeroth will be personally led by Kil'jaeden the Conqueror. This fleet will turn around a day later and head straight for Draenor at top speed. If all goes well, we can launch a devastating invasion of that world the day after the fleet of the Mother of Light, Xerah, arrives in Draenor.

What I want to tell you is that Vigilant Diakum and his Lightforged Chapter are on Draenor, which is also our target in this battle.

This invasion can fail, but Diakum must die!

The vigilant will not have the chance to ascend.

He will die a miserable death as a mortal, in the very world where the Draenei clan awakened him, and I will personally carry out this vengeful execution!

These words shocked the commander group of Manari high demons standing beside Sachiel. They stared at each other in astonishment, for the information Sachiel had revealed was indeed quite astonishing.

But the sculptor didn't see anything wrong with it.

Leaning back on its throne, it casually picked up the skull with a scar on its forehead, stroking it as it said, "Back when the demon star Mardun was conquered, your war plan was already obtained by the Illidari. I have been reminding you not to underestimate the intelligence-gathering abilities of those blind men."

While you have certainly made some changes to this plan, the fundamentals remain unchanged. The Illidari have brought the message back to Azeroth: if we go there now, we will be facing a fully armed world.

The saviors of that world have already released the Supreme Star Soul. I don't know what you think, but I certainly don't want to provoke a Supreme Star Soul that is currently reviving.

Let Kil'jaeden tackle that tough nut.

It has its war plans, which I believe will definitely bring a fresh perspective to life in Azeroth.

Furthermore, you should all be aware of the Shadow Swarm's rampant expansion in the Twisting Nether, which has become a problem that must be taken seriously. However, sending the demons to fight the swarm is clearly not in our interest, and most importantly, we don't have that much time to waste.

Sachir paused, then said:

“When dealing with this kind of thing, we have to go straight to the source. The Shadow Chaser Swarm also has its own ‘god’. Diakum is their god. As long as we get rid of the Light Butcher, not only will the Burning Legion be able to step out of his shadow, but the catastrophe of the Twisting Nether will also be greatly alleviated.”

This is also the reason I used to persuade Kil'jaeden.

Therefore, stop making that foolish face. As the wise men of the Burning Legion, why haven't you learned to adapt to changing circumstances?

As Sachiel's stern rebuke sounded like that of a mentor, the Manari demons stood up straight to listen to the reprimand, and soon some of them reacted.

The blue-gray-skinned Man'ari, named "Mak'zar," exclaimed:
"So, the Fallen Titan transported in the fleet was actually also for... Ah, I see! Your destructive wisdom truly shakes the stars. No matter how ferocious the Holy Light Butcher is, he could never be a match for a Fallen Titan."

That fearsome fellow is doomed.

"madness!"

The other party's flattery backfired, prompting Sachir to shout a stern rebuke:
"Haven't you studied the entire process of the God War that Diakum triggered? Isn't the combat power he displayed in Kalecgos's actions enough to make you wary?"

That's an enemy capable of attacking stars!

The Fallen Titans' combat power is far less than when they were true gods. This is just a lesser god. You think you can take down Diakum by relying on Him? You're getting too cocky.
Do you think Diakum would be foolish enough to fall into such an obvious trap?
"Tch, it seems that acts of destruction are indeed detrimental to wisdom."

The sculptor waved his hand impatiently and said:

"Get out of here! Go back and reflect on your actions. You've clearly forgotten everything I taught you during this long career of killing. From now on, don't call yourself my student. I, Sachir, can't afford to lose face like that!"

The demons, having been reprimanded, turned and left in frustration.

They also discovered that every time the Vigilant was mentioned, Sachil would become a different person, exaggerating and praising all of Diakum's qualities as if Diakum were his own outstanding student.

But the truth is, for the ancient Eredar, Diakum's origins were no secret.

That guy was just a college security guard.

He was discovered by Archimonde, whom Sachiel once regarded as his successor and "son," and had nothing to do with Sachiel. If there was any connection between the two, it was only that Sachiel was desperately held back by Diakum during the operation to summon the demon.

Well, that battle in Oronal was also Diakum's first "debut" battle.

Thinking about it this way, there really is some kind of "bond" between these two guys that ordinary people can't understand.

Enraged by his foolish subordinates, Sachil also left the bridge, using teleportation to precisely transport himself to his laboratory within the moving starship.

After sealing the laboratory, the Shaper activated a device that was clearly not a fel creation, and then wisps of cold void energy emanated from it.

Using void magic on a demon's ship?

This is absolutely upside down!
But who would dare to investigate a great demon lord like Sachiel?

"How's your discussion going, everyone?"

Sachir asked in fluent Shasyaar:
"Time waits for no one. If you haven't made a decision yet, I'll have to regretfully do it on my own. Anyway, I don't need you. I can still contact Dimensius, the Devourer of All Realms."

"You, a great demon lord, have taken the initiative to contact the Void Lords. Heh, do you believe we'll report this to Sargeras?"

A sinister voice echoed from the void vortex before them, mocking:
"Guess what, will your Dark Titan Emperor execute us first, or will he come after you, the traitor, first? But we are very curious, is it really just to execute Diakum?"
Is he really that important to you?

Is it so important that you'd risk angering the Dark Titan to cooperate with us?

Faced with this question, the Sculptor let out a subtle laugh and said in a gentle tone:
"I guess none of you have ever experienced a moment like that, when you truly discover a rough gem, when you truly find the disciple who can inherit your mantle and legacy, when you, as an educator, discover a fine gem."
Well, you certainly can't understand how important Diakum is to me.

I have no intention of explaining all of this to you.

Say it!

State your decision: cooperate? or ignore it?
I will accept all of this calmly. As for tattling and such, do whatever you want!

The sculptor laughed and said:
"The Dark Titan has many flaws. He is stubborn, obstinate, cruel, and indifferent. He is almost the most dangerous individual in the material universe. But you cannot understand that Lord Sargeras' greatest virtue is that he does not covet power."

The existence of the Burning Legion was not an honor for Him, but a burden.

You can send out messages however you like, but I can assure you that I won't be under any more terrible pressure because of it. But you might not be so lucky. You Void Lords, you don't want to provoke a petty Great Demon Lord while you're already being relentlessly pursued by Diakum, do you?

Also, I don't know if you've heard about the catastrophe that happened in the Twisting Nether.

A swarm of Voidlings is expanding its territory in the demon realm. Even the mighty conquerors themselves couldn't defeat them. Ah, these Void forces are truly impressive.

"May I ask, which of your subordinates commands that swarm of insects so powerful it can slay gods?"

Sachiel sneered and mocked:
"If those are not your servants, then who was my illustrious disciple Diakum ultimately targeting when he cultivated such a terrifying swarm of war insects, using endless demons as adversaries to complete their supreme evolution?"

Ridiculous meat!

Stop whining here. If you don't hurry up, you'll become food for the swarm. I can see the future, don't tell me you self-proclaimed great Void Lords can't?

Diakum will inevitably die in Draenor.

I can do it without you all, so let's face the situation: it's not me who needs to beg for help now!
