Zhu Tian started by deceiving his father-in-law from the perspective of pirates.

"I, uh!" Before Illidan could finish speaking, Rhodes grabbed him by the neck.

"Bye-bye! I'll take good care of Tyrande," Rhodes said.

"You! Ugh!"

Rhodes forcefully snapped Illidan's neck with both hands, ending the demon hunter's life. Then, using the power of the Soul-Soul Fruit in conjunction with warlock skills, he forcibly seized Illidan's soul.

After searching the corpse, Rhodes found three bottles of spring water in Illidan's small bag.

Each bottle exudes an incomparably powerful arcane aura.

Rhodes took out one of the bottles and handed it to Kael'thas.

“Here you go! This is the water from the Well of Eternity. With this, you can save your people and return to Quel'Danas to repair the Sunwell,” Rhodes said.

He always keeps his word and promises; that's how Rod lives.

As long as you work for me, I will make sure that my subordinates also get a share of the meat, and I won't let you only get soup.

Kael'thas's hands trembled with excitement as he accepted the bottle of Well of Eternity water from Rhodes's hand.

Tears welled up in her eyes with emotion, for the thing she had been longing for.

He finally had what could truly save the blood elves. With this bottle of water from the Well of Eternity, he could repair the Sunwell and restore Quel'Thalas to its former glory.

Kael'thas is now so eager to return to Azeroth to save his people.

"Lord Rhodes, what should we do with this woman?" Mak'zar looked at the unconscious female night elf lying on the ground to the side.

“That’s none of your business. Now, lead your demonic minions and take control of this dark temple. Next, I need your cooperation in putting on a show,” Rhodes said.

The Allied Forces of Azeroth have arrived; we can't just sit idly by! So we need to put on a good show for them.

To bring this Burning Crusade to a close, the audience is the Allied Horde and Alliance forces of Azeroth, and the actor is Rhodes himself.

This time, I need to make the most of the alliance's reputation.

“Great Commander, my demon army will immediately take over this temple,” Makzar said.

"Remember to bring over more cannon fodder troops."

After saying this, Rhodes hoisted Maiev onto his shoulder and carried Kael'thas away from the top of the Black Temple.

"Lord Rhodes! You just said you had some other plans?" Kael'thas looked at Rhodes with some confusion.

“We can’t let the Horde and Alliance armies make a wasted trip. They’ll be coming to attack the Black Temple soon.” Rhodes gave a meaningful smile.

"But the Black Temple has already been captured by us, hasn't it? Illidan is dead!" Kael'thas asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Hehe! I'll let you in on a secret, I also have an Illidan!"

Chapter 177 A Special Prisoner, the Strongest? The Most Practical Mythical Beast Ability

Another Illidan? Are you kidding me?!

However, Lord Rhodes, it seems that he did indeed put away Illidan's corpse just now. Does he intend to do something with Illidan's corpse?

Kael'thas found it strange, but as a subordinate, he knew that some things people would tell you when they wanted to, and if you pressed them for details when they didn't, it would backfire.

“I thought you would keep asking questions. Aren’t you curious about who this Illidan is?” Rhodes asked.

"Lord Rhodes, if you are willing to tell me, then you will naturally tell me."

"But if you are unwilling to say, then I will not inquire further." Kael'thas bowed slightly to Rhodes, speaking very tactfully.

"Hahaha! You're quite clever. You've taken all your people, the blood elves, away from this place, and all the orcs too. This place is now the domain of demons."

Under Rhodes's orders, Kael'thas quickly gathered all the blood elves in the city and then took them away en masse.

"Remember this, tell your people that this time we raided the Black Temple, we didn't defeat Illidan, but we successfully saved your people."

Kael'thas did not forget what Rhodes had told him before he left, and he did not tell his people that Illidan had been defeated.

Now, the only ones who know of Illidan's defeat are himself and that demon lord named Malchezaar.

The evacuation of the entire Dark Temple was proceeding in an orderly manner, while demons in other areas, under Rhodes' command, also caused some major disturbances.

It looked like a battle was taking place, but it was actually just Rhodes' men clearing out Illidan's army.

Rhodes carried Maiev to a room where blood elves lived, and put her down.

This woman, who is over 10,000 years old, has a very fit body; her body is extremely flexible and healthy.

To be honest, Rod prefers carrying a soft and cute girl rather than a muscular and athletic one.

After setting Maiev down, Rhodes opened a portal and summoned Pudding over.

"Lord Rhodes, is there something this time that requires my special skills?"

“That’s right, dear Pudding, let’s alter her memories.”

Delete all her memories from the last few hours and then change them to say that after she arrived at the Black Temple, she discovered that the great demigod Rhodes was also raiding Black Illidan's Black Temple.

She ventured to the very top of the Black Temple, only to be severely wounded by Illidan and his demon hunters. Fortunately, I appeared at the crucial moment and saved her.

I have to say, the Memory Fruit can be really useful sometimes!

Pudding nodded and began to use her abilities. She could perfectly alter the memories of the last few hours, leaving no flaws in her work.

To make the performance more realistic, Rhodes also released a small burst of fel flames at Maiev, causing some wounds on her body and creating the illusion that she had fought a fierce battle with Illidan.

After doing all this, Rhodes had Brin return to Tempest Keep first, and then awakened Maiev.

"Ugh! Ah! Damn Illidan! Demigod, did we escape?" Maiev asked, clutching her burned body as she woke up.

"Not yet! But because of my sudden attack, some of Illidan's demons have actually rebelled."

I've brought you to the blood elf's dwelling place within the Dark Temple, where I'll heal your injuries.

After Rhodes finished speaking, a bright green light shone from his hand, and he used his life energy to repair Maiev's body.

A gentle, rejuvenating power instantly flowed through Maiev's body, making the female night elf feel extremely comfortable, and she even squinted her eyes.

The wounds on her body caused by the fel energy healed immediately.

"Thank you for saving my demigod. Can we now destroy Illidan? With your power, you should be able to do so, right?"

She harbored a deep and unforgettable hatred for Illidan.

"This time, I only brought some of my men to launch a surprise attack. One of my men wiped out a large number of Naga troops."

But now the demon Illidan has opened a portal to the Twisting Nether, and a massive influx of demons is pouring in—there are far too many of them.

We have already rescued a large number of fel orcs, as well as blood elves, so it's time to retreat.

"Let's gather the elite forces of the Horde and the Alliance before we attack the Black Temple!"

After saying that, Rhodes pulled the female night elf up, opened a portal, and led her inside.

At this moment, all the blood elves in Storm Fortress had completed their retreat. As for all the orcs, they were all stunned by Kaido's Conqueror's Haki and then collectively handed over to Kargath Blade Fist for disposal.

"My people are safe now, and you will no longer be threatened by Illidan."

"This raid on the Black Temple, though it didn't defeat Illidan, at least rescued you all," Kael'thas reassured his people.

"Your Highness, do you mean... Illidan? Lord Illidan has betrayed us?"

"Yes, he could have saved the Sunwell from the very beginning. Look at this, this is the water of the Well of Eternity, from my ancestor."

The Sunwell was created using water from this very well of eternity.

"This new bottle of Well of Eternity water can completely repair our Sunwell." Kael'thas took out the Well of Eternity water from his hand and showed it to all the blood elves.

“It really is the water of the Well of Eternity; I can feel the arcane power flowing from it.”

"The eternal sun guides us."

"Alado, Alana".

Countless blood elves knelt on the ground, looking at the prince with immense excitement.

They followed the prince on his expedition to foreign lands, all for the sake of saving their people. Now, that wish is finally about to be fulfilled.

With the help of the Well of Eternity and a passionate speech, Kael'thas successfully won back the confidence of his people.

"My Lord Demigod, could you take me with you on the next raid on the Dark Temple? I need to hunt down that traitor."

This time, I won't send him back to that dark cell; I'll end his life myself.

“Of course, I will definitely invite you next time we launch a full-scale attack on the Dark Temple, Ms. Maiev,” Rhodes said with a smile.

There are still many secrets within Tempest Keep, so Rhodes doesn't want Maiev to live there.

“I look forward to that day. I will gather my sisters, and the Watchers will come to help you in battle.” Maiev finished speaking, bowed to Rhodes, and then turned and left Tempest Keep.

After Maiev left, Rhodes used the mouths of some Horde and Alliance members in Tempest Keep to announce to the outside world that his raid on the Black Temple had been a great success.

Although Illidan was not annihilated, all of his fel orcs and Naga forces were wiped out. The blood elf prince Kael'thas also persuaded his people to leave Illidan's clutches with him.

The Black Temple is now filled with demons and nothing else. Once the Alliance and Horde armies unite, they can destroy Illidan and complete the final assault on the Black Temple.

The entire Alliance and Horde were in a state of excitement, celebrating this victory together.

Rhodes himself also took some time to come to the Dark Temple, with a little creature that looked like a yellow raccoon dog by his side.

At this point, the Black Temple had been completely taken over by Malchezaar and his demonic forces, and the evil Illidari demons who were loyal to Illidan had been wiped out.

“Commander Rhodes, the entire Dark Temple, and everything around it, is under our control,” Mak'zar said.

“Well done. Now let’s set some things up. Your current identity is that you were sent by the Burning Legion.”

The Eredar prince, who was in contact with Illidan, was in charge of leading the demonic legions here.

Soon, the Alliance and the Horde will come to attack this place, and you will be killed here.

“.” Makzal.

No way, boss!

Am I destined to die for you as my second mission after following you? Although demons can be resurrected in the Twisting Nether, it seems unnecessary for me to die so meaninglessly!

"Hahaha! Don't worry, it's not your real body. I'll create a clone for you."

"It was only this clone that was killed; it won't affect you at all. You can even control this clone to fight." Rhodes chuckled and patted Mak'zar on the shoulder.

If they're going to be sent to their deaths, they'll just be some low-level cannon fodder demons, since these cannon fodder demons don't have much intelligence anyway.
