Chapter 174 Attacking the Dark Temple, Kneel Before the New Commander!

These cannon fodder demons of the Legion obey whoever summons them. In the minds of these foolish creatures, Illidan and the commander of the Burning Legion are not much different.

"Kael'thas, please show us around this temple," Rhodes said.

"Lord Rhodes! The Dark Temple is a vast space, and some Naga live in the sewers. They are commanded by a high-ranking overseer named Naintus, who is Lady Vashj's direct overseer."

Because Vashj went to Zangarmarsh, he was put in charge of all the Naga in the Black Temple sewers.

In the first level of the Black Temple, there is a giant hellfire called Supremus.

It is a giant Hellfire that is over 100 meters tall. It is a living weapon created by Matheridon.

However, due to his enormous size and lack of suitable fel energy to power it, after Illidan conquered the Black Temple, he infused it with the powerful fel energy within him.

This massive hellfire was activated, and it was made to guard the main gate of the Black Temple.

"This Naga overseer will not submit, so we should just kill him. We can make use of this enormous hellfire."

"We'll bypass it in a bit. After defeating Illidan, I'll personally infuse it with fel energy once more."

This big boss is really famous! When we were conquering the Dark Temple, Rhodes' warlock was crushed by it many times.

"Next is the first floor, where a large number of fel beastmen live. Their leader is called Gurtugh Bloodboil, who is the most successful fel beastman. His strength is barely at the level of my adjutant!"

There's also a Death Knight named Talon Bloodlord here. For some reason, this guy has sided with Illidan.

And they live here with the orcs, in a hidden location on the first floor.

"There's also a monster from the Soul Chest, which is the spirit of the Draenei who turned into a spirit monster. There are a lot of spirits in its territory," Kael'thas said.

"I will use Conqueror's Haki to knock the Orc tribe unconscious, then take them away and hand them over to Kargath. As for Talon Blood Demon..."

"If he's willing to surrender, then accept it; if he's not willing to surrender, then send him to his death. Leave these souls to me!" Rhodes said.

Despite being distorted, the Draenei souls are quite powerful. Although twisted by Gul'dan's dark magic, their soul energy still exists, and may even be stronger.

These soul energies can be collected and made into one's own Homite creations.

"The second floor of the temple is the residence of our blood elf race, and I personally selected four members to manage it."

Welles, High-ranking Spirit Master Serowol, Shatterer Gacios, and Duchess Marand.

They are the Illidari Council. These blood elves can be handed over to me; I will command them to lay down their weapons as a prince.

In the second level, there is also a Palace of Pleasure, the territory of a destructive demon queen named Shahras.

When Illidan invaded the Black Temple, she led all the female demons in a collective rebellion, joining Illidan's side.

This female demon was a die-hard fan of Illidan, and even had a strange kind of worship for him.

Among my people, some depraved individuals sometimes come to her temple; she commands a vast number of shadow banshees, succubi, and destroyers.

"After all, they are your people, so I'll leave this to you. As for that female demon, I'll go and deal with her myself," Rhodes said.

This Destruction Demon Queen commands a considerable number of female demons, and her Palace of Pleasure—damn, that's one of Rhodes's dreams!

"I understand, Lord Rhodes. The third level of the Black Temple is Illidan's territory, controlled by him and the demon hunters he has trained," Kael'thas said.

These blood elves, trained to be demon hunters? They completely disobeyed his orders as the prince, showing him no respect whatsoever.

By directly addressing Illidan as "master," Kael'thas felt that these blood elves had been thoroughly brainwashed and were willing to do anything for Illidan.

Rhodes nodded, took a deep breath, and then released his Conqueror's Haki. After being modified by Fel energy, his Conqueror's Haki had a natural suppressive effect on demonic creatures.

Moreover, Conqueror's Haki is incredibly useful for clearing out mobs, and many people in the Dark Temple can be used to your advantage.

"Kael'thas, you go and take charge of winning over your blood elf subordinates. Charlotte Linlin, you go and help him. As for the Temple of Pleasure, leave it to me."

Father-in-law, could you please go down into the sewers and wipe out all the Naga there, leaving no one alive?

Then you clear out the orcs on the first floor and send them all back. I'll open a portal for you.

"I see!"

"Mama! Yes, Captain."

Soon the group began to act. Kaido entered the basement, swung his spiked club, and began to slaughter all the Naga there, as well as a certain high-ranking warlord.

At this moment, apart from a few powerful individuals, everyone else in the Dark Temple had already fainted.

The group moved quickly. Rhode arrived at the place where the Soul Box was stored, and gathered all the vengeful spirits and the twisted monster within it.

They were all wiped out. Faced with the power of the Soul-Soul Fruit, these spirit beings were nothing more than easy prey for Rhode.

Rhodes received a large amount of soul energy.

In the second level of space, the four members of the Illidari Council also met Kael'thas, along with Charlotte Linlin who was with him.

"In the name of the Blood Elf Prince, in the name of the Sunstrider family, I command you to lay down your weapons and surrender! Or are you planning to betray me?"

"But Your Highness, aren't you with Lord Illidan?"

What's going on? Your Highness, aren't you also one of Lord Illidan's subordinates?

The blood elves living in the Black Temple are so poorly informed that Illidan completely shuts them out of everything happening in the outside world.

"Illidan betrayed us. He had the water of the Well of Eternity in his hands, and he could have solved our problem, but he broke his promise."

He only wanted to use us blood elves as tools of his war; he had no intention of saving us at all.

How many blood elves have died in his evil rituals in order to train his so-called demon hunters?

I am now absolutely certain that I can kill Illidan and seize the Well of Eternity from him.

"Then we will be able to repair the Sunwell. Will you still be willing to follow me, this prince?"

After Kael'thas finished speaking, he looked at his four former subordinates. These four members of the Illidari were no weaker than his four lieutenants and belonged to the high-ranking combat force of the blood elves.

"Your Highness, you have been working tirelessly for the survival of the Blood Elves all these years, and I am willing to follow you," Duchess Marand said first.

The remaining group—Vellles, the Shatterer Gacios, and the High-Rank Spiritualist Selevor—hesitated for a moment before choosing to follow their prince.

"My people, I have promised you that I will lead you to revival."

"I will never break my promise. Soon we will have the water of the Well of Eternity, and then we will restore the Sunwell and bring back the Sin'dorei glory," Kael'thas said.

With His Highness the Prince and four members of the Illidari Council intervening, the blood elves on the second level basically chose to submit, and Rhodes also arrived at the Temple of Pleasure.

Some of the banshees, succubi, and even the weaker destroyers here have all fallen into a coma. The only ones still awake are Matriarch Shahras and a few of her high-ranking destroyers.

However, faced with Rhodes' Conqueror's Haki, which was imbued with Fel energy, these Destroyers were basically forced to kneel on the ground.

"Kneel down! Traitor! Before the third commander of the Burning Legion." Rhodes maintained his height at twenty meters and transformed into his demon form, appearing before the Destroyer Mistress.

According to Kael'thas, the other party was a die-hard fan of Illidan. In that case, Rhodes didn't intend to hold back and would just kill her.

However, to demonstrate his authority, Rhodes also opened a portal connecting to the Twisted Nether.

He also had Prince Malchezaar gather a large number of demon troops, who entered the area through the portal opened by Rhodes and instantly filled the surrounding area.

At this moment, Matriarch Shahraz was a little confused. What was going on?

The Burning Legion only has two commanders, right? When did a third commander appear?

"Shahras, look closely. The man in front of you is the third legion commander personally appointed by Lord Sargeras not long ago."

"And Lord Rhodes, who was personally infused with fel energy by Lord Sargeras, kneel down now!" Mak'zar said.

A mere Demonic Mage like her is no match for him. (Statistically, they're about the same in the game, but in terms of actual strength and legion status, Malchezaar far surpasses her.)

"I, I once served Lord Illidan."

"Then you can die now, and I will destroy your soul." Rhodes's hands blazed with fel flames, intending to destroy this Destruction Demon Queen.

"However, it's not that I can't betray others!"

Great third commander, Lord Rhodes, you were personally appointed by Lord Sargeras.

"How dare I disobey your orders? I can lead all the female demons of the Dark Temple to surrender to you." The Demonic Mistress knelt on the ground and said.

Just kidding, someone casually opened a world connected to the Twisted Void, a world with an endless army of demons.

She couldn't handle it at all, and neither could Illidan, just like when she betrayed Magtheridon.

She felt no guilt whatsoever about betraying Illidan, and the reason she betrayed Magtheridon was because she had her eye on Illidan.

But while they may be attracted to the demons, their own lives are more important. The female demons of the Burning Legion are far more cunning, treacherous, and vicious than their male counterparts.

"You may escape death, but you cannot escape punishment. You have already betrayed the Legion once. Accept the torment of the Fel Flames!" Rhodes unleashed a burst of Fel Flames, burning most of the Destroyer Mistress's body.

After the other party showed fear, Rhode immediately used the power of the Soul-Soul Fruit to extract the other party's soul.

"Ah! No, no, don't destroy me!" Matriarch Shahras was terrified. She hadn't expected the man in front of her to attack so suddenly.

"I said, the death penalty can be waived, but punishment is unavoidable!"

"Remember the fate of those who betray the Legion, remember this feeling of having your soul under my control. I'll take one-third of your soul power." After saying this, Rhodes directly extracted the other party's soul power.

Although the Destruction Demoness was alive at this time, one-third of her soul had been extracted by Rhodes.

"Now go and subdue all the female demons! Remember, you only have one last chance."

After speaking, Rhodes, along with Prince Malchezaar and Kael'thas who had come to join them, went directly to the top of the Black Temple.

The Destruction Demon Queen, kneeling on the ground, watched Rhodes leave with an excited expression. What a domineering man!

At this moment, Illidan Stormrage, wielding the Warblade of Azzinoth, stood ready with his twenty-odd demon hunters.

Only a few tens of minutes have passed since the Dark Temple was attacked.

"It's been a long time, Lord Illidan." Kael'thas said with some emotion as he looked at Illidan before him.

There was a time when I trusted this man completely, but he betrayed my trust.

"Kael'thas, your two-faced behavior doesn't surprise me much." Illidan gave Kael'thas a look of utter contempt.

"Your Highness, you have indeed sided with the Burning Legion's demons!" roared a blood elf demon hunter.

"Heh! I pledged allegiance to Lord Rhodes, not the Burning Legion, in order to save my people. As for my two-faced nature?"

Illidan, you are the least qualified person to say that. Haven't we blood elves helped you enough?

I have faithfully carried out all the orders you gave me, but what has it all been for?

"You won't even give me a bottle of water from the Well of Eternity, even though you know how much I need it," Kael'thas said.

"I'm not in the mood to talk to you right now. Get out of my way, you lackeys." Illidan said, then looked at Rhodes in front of him.

"I originally thought you were a true demigod of Azeroth who would protect our world, but I never imagined you were the Burning Legion's biggest lackey."

Illidan noticed when Rhodes opened the portal to the Twisting Nether, bringing a large number of demons into the Black Temple.

"Heh! You're wrong, Illidan. It was I who ended the Burning Legion's expedition, and you, a remnant of the old era, will die here today." Rhodes said, taking out his spiked club.

"Then why don't you give it a try!"
