Chapter 154 Demon Hunter, Honor Hold, Thrallmar Keep

"Lord Illidan, since we've chosen to help the Allied Forces of Azeroth, why not reveal your plans to them?" a demon hunter asked, brandishing his battleblade and beheading a demon guard.

"Don't let the Allied Forces find us, my Demon Hunters! They can't understand us," Illidan said.

"The Alliance and the Horde can even accept those warlocks; those guys, like us, also study fel magic."

In that case, if they knew about Lord Illidan.

Your ultimate plan is to destroy the Burning Legion, and you have even taken control of the Mark of Argus.

"Now that we have the exact coordinates of the Legion's headquarters on Argus, why don't we cooperate?" A blood elf demon hunter looked at Illidan, as if to say, "Perhaps your plan can be accepted by them."

"I know what you're thinking, my demon hunters, but this won't work."

Remember! Your loved ones were killed by the demons of the Burning Legion, so you decided to take revenge on them.

When we choose to accept this evil power, we are no longer on the same path as them.

"We sacrificed ourselves, we sacrificed everything, asking for nothing in return. That's what a demon hunter is," Illidan said.

In the eyes of the Alliance and the Horde, he, a demon hunter, was no different from the minions of the Burning Legion.

"But!"

"Enough, my demon hunters. You have much to learn. I know more than you do. I was imprisoned by my people for ten thousand years because they couldn't understand what I was doing," Illidan said.

If his own people could understand him like that, he wouldn't have ended up like this. The one who was truly betrayed is me.

Therefore, Illidan clearly understood that if he wanted to destroy the Burning Legion, he could only rely on himself. He wanted to be a lone hero and did not need the help of Azeroth.

At that moment, a colossal creature suddenly appeared on the other side of the Dark Portal. A verdant dragon emerged, followed by a massive energy surge that virtually annihilated all the demons directly in front of the Dark Portal.

Illidan and his demon hunters were all amazed as they watched the mighty dragon unleash its power.

After spewing flames, the dragon began to coil like a snake, its entire body emitting countless wind blades and creating violent tornadoes. Countless Burning Legion demons were blown into the sky and then torn to pieces by the wind blades.

"What! What kind of creature is this? Lord Illidan, I have never seen such a huge creature before," a female blood elf demon hunter exclaimed.

"Judging from his aura and the vigor of his life force, he is a demigod of the wilderness, but one I've never seen before. His appearance is somewhat similar to a creature from Pandaria," Illidan said.

He had seen all the Wild Demigods. Ten thousand years ago, when they resisted the Burning Legion's invasion, these Wild Demigods were of great help. Each of them was incredibly powerful and caused the Burning Legion a lot of trouble.

The Burning Legion paid a heavy price to destroy them, with even Archimonde personally taking action to defeat the Wild Gods.

It was precisely because these demigods of the wilderness joined the battle that the ancient war was won; otherwise, the ancient war would not have been so easy.

The Burning Legion's invasion a few years ago was just a minor skirmish. A lich tore open a portal, summoning Archimonde and some high-ranking members of the Burning Legion, but only a tiny fraction of the Burning Legion's ordinary troops came.

Today's Wilderness Demigod is far stronger than Illidan knew. He is very strong, even stronger than the most powerful Wilderness Demigod, the Deerclops.

"It seems that even if we don't come to stop this demon army, with this demigod of the wilderness around, the demons won't be able to cause much trouble."

"Lord Illidan, shall we go and have a word with this Wild Demigod? Mortals cannot understand you, but if you are a Wild Demigod..." A night elf demon hunter hesitated before speaking.

Night elves generally live to be over ten thousand years old, and the Night Elf race greatly reveres the Wild Demigod. The Wild Demigod must be able to understand Lord Illidan.

"We don't need him at all. As long as he doesn't cause us any trouble, our plan can be carried out smoothly, and we can take Argus and completely destroy the Burning Legion," Illidan said.

After obtaining the Skull of Gul'dan, he also gained a method to reverse portals. This method could manipulate spatial forces to directly distort a planet, like detonating a bomb and blowing the entire planet up.

Even the mighty Burning Legion would surely perish if their home planet were destroyed. His only uncertainty was whether such planet-destroying power could kill Sargeras.

But none of that matters anymore; all that matters is destroying Argus.

After clearing out the remaining demon army, Illidan immediately led his demon hunters in a retreat back to the Black Temple in Shadowmoon Valley.

Continue to carry out your grand plan to destroy Argus and search for Mardon, the planet where the Sargerite Key is located.

Meanwhile, the Alliance and the Horde waged a three-day, three-night relentless hunt for the demons, clearing out all the demons near the Dark Portal.

Thanks to Rhodes's intervention, the Burning Legion's hard-won forces, which had been assembled at the Dark Portal, were largely destroyed.

Unlike in the original history, the Alliance and Horde armies did not engage in a protracted war with the Burning Legion for several days and suffer heavy casualties before finally capturing the Dark Portal in Outland.

They even achieved virtually zero casualties, and the morale of the coalition forces was incredibly high.

The current generals of the Legion have basically all been wiped out by Rhodes. Demon King Kurul and a certain Abyss Lord were dealt with by Kaido in Orgrimmar.

Kazzak was dealt with by the Horde Alliance and members of the Beast Pirates, the Fel Lord Azodon was dealt with by himself, and his subordinate, the Destruction Demon Mistress, was also dealt with.

The demons of Hellfire Peninsula were now leaderless.

After clearing out all the demons near the Dark Portal, the Alliance and the Horde split up and each chose a direction to launch an attack.

The Alliance army quickly advanced to a fortress and then saw a human-style castle.

A group of veterans who looked to be in their forties or fifties were guarding this place, wearing their battle robes from the old Alliance era.

"Are you... are you part of the Alliance army?" an old soldier asked excitedly, looking at the massive army before him.

Among them were several high elves who were members of the expeditionary force that followed Alleria into the Black Gate.

Humans, dwarves, gnomes, and high elves were once allies who fought against the Horde together. However, among these people were dwarves, humans, gnomes, some creatures with blue tentacles, and some elves they had never seen before, who were tall and had dark purple skin.

"You, you are the sons of Lothar, you are the heroes who once conquered Outland?" an Alliance general asked.

"I still have people who remember us. To protect Azeroth, we closed the Dark Portal. I never expected that when the Dark Portal opened again, you would actually come and fight your way in," a white-haired veteran nearing fifty said.

The tremendous commotion caused by the opening of the Dark Portal also caught the attention of these Sons of Lothar, but most of them were now too old to stop it.

Unexpectedly, the Alliance army, which was part of Azeroth's reinforcements, actually attacked.

"Are you General Turalyon, and the army that General Alleria once led? Are those two heroes here too?" an Alliance paladin asked.

"It's a pity, my fellow Alliance members, those two disappeared years ago due to the Voidstorm, and we still don't know what happened to them." A veteran of the Sons of Lothar sighed and shook his head helplessly.

"That's a real shame." Unexpectedly, the two most crucial people have disappeared.

"Come in quickly. Honor Hold may not be large, but we can still accommodate you all." At the Son of Lothar's warm invitation, this part of the Alliance army moved into Honor Hold.

The tribe's army, after operating independently for several days and eliminating a large number of demons, also chose a suitable location to set up camp.

Rhodes' floating fortress became their temporary base, but the floating city was too small, so the tribe needed to build a new base.

"Lord Rhodes, we have decided to build a temporary fortress here. What do you think?" High Overlord Saurfang asked as he approached Rhodes.

After Rhodes's spectacular performance a few days ago, the warriors of the tribe now hold him in extremely high esteem.

"No problem, High Overlord Saurfang, let the warriors build a fortress here!" Rhodes said.

They were part of the vanguard; more tribal troops would follow, crossing the Dark Portal to build a fortress for the remaining forces.

It's essential to provide them with a place to stay and food when they arrive, since our air fortress can't accommodate too many people.

Moreover, Rhodes did not intend to join the tribe's coalition forces.

High Overlord Saurfang nodded and began directing some orc laborers and goblins employed by the Horde to begin the construction of Thrallmar Fortress.

Rhodes, on the other hand, had the floating fortress rise up and then went to scout over Hellfire Peninsula.

After the floating city took off, they discovered many scattered small tribes of fel orcs on the ground. When Rhodes left, he had not completely relocated them; some fel orcs remained here, wandering around Hellfire Peninsula.
