After the Burning Legion fleet suddenly descended upon this world, people and factions on Earth, beyond Earth, and even beyond the Solar System grew uneasy. The Burning Legion fleet was simply too massive. Of course, in terms of numbers alone, it amounted to fewer than a thousand warships, but no one dared underestimate the fleet Xiao Ran had brought with him.
