As Antorus, the Burning Throne's protective barrier was shattered by Tempest Keep's cannon, the war between the expeditionary force and Burning Legion also entered the final decisive battle.
During the period when the expeditionary army blocked the door, although the accumulated demons in Antorus, the Burning Throne had not accumulated enough combat power to overwhelm the expeditionary army, they still formed a quite powerful combat power.
These soldiers rushed out the moment the throne barrier was breached. It seemed that they wanted to catch the expeditionary force off guard. However, Aaron did not give them this chance. They directly let several warships that had not fired before launch a round of covering bombing at the gate of Antorus, the Burning Throne, crushing the demons' counterattack.
The demons had previously judged the attack time based on the attack rhythm of several warships. In their expectation, the warships should now be in a state where they needed to cool down and could not fire. However, this was a little trick played by Aaron. This design directly killed thousands of demons - maybe tens of thousands.
This is a heavy blow to the defensive power of the Antorus, the Burning Throne network. The number of demons that can be carried in this area is actually not very many. After all, each demon also needs a certain amount of space to move. It does not mean that a demon can display its combat effectiveness if there is an empty place. Sufficient space must be left for the demons to exert their own strength. Otherwise, the collision and conflict between the demons will make any responsible demon commander vomit blood.
After these thousands of demons were buried at the gate, it would be difficult for the demons to attack from the inside of Antorus, the Burning Throne. They could only rely on the obstacles at key locations within Antorus, the Burning Throne for defense.
However, it is very difficult for demons to do this kind of defense. First of all, demons are better at attacking than defending. Their chaotic and violent nature allows them to display terrifying lethality when attacking. However, when they can only be in a defensive posture in the face of the enemy's attacks, their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced. Irritability and chaos are taboos for the defender, and they will easily be pulled into the rhythm of the attacker. At that time, they will only be defeated.
What's more, the expeditionary force can also rely on the weapons previously seized from the armory to carry out attacks, plus the fire support provided by four warships, but Antorus, the Burning Throne does not have any air defense capabilities inside - who would have thought that the enemy would directly attack Antorus, the Burning Throne.
Faced with such a powerful attack, the demons in Antorus, the Burning Throne could only retreat steadily. Until a giant Eredar demon covered in red appeared in front of the expeditionary force.
That is Velen's old friend Kil'jaeden. After Argus said goodbye, Kil'jaeden missed his old friend Velen very much. In order to see Velen again On the side, Kil'jaeden did not hesitate to use all kinds of power to keep tracking the traces of Velen and his subordinates Draenei, just to catch Velen back.
From Velen's point of view, it was an act of betrayal for Kil'jaeden to take refuge in Sargeras. However, from Kil'jaeden's point of view, it was Velen who betrayed them, Eredar.
Regarding the love and hatred between Kil'jaeden and Velen, it can even be described in a separate novel. Here we only need to know that when Velen is present, Kil'jaeden cannot tolerate other existences in his eyes, even if Sargeras or Archimonde are here.
Now Archimonde has died in battle and is still going through the process of resurrection - it will take a long time for such a powerful demon to be resurrected, and Sargeras has also left Argus for a long time. So Kil'jaeden has become the supreme commander here, after all, he was originally the third figure of the Burning Legion.
With him here, and Velen already appearing on the battlefield, an obvious scene will appear: Kil'jaeden commanded the demons to launch a violent attack on Velen's position, completely ignoring the defenses in other places, and completely taking Velen with him even if he died.
Kil'jaeden's performance made Aaron wonder how deep the relationship between Velen and Kil'jaeden is for Kil'jaeden to behave like this. Of course, it may also be because after Kil'jaeden's soul was distorted by Fel, his feelings for Velen also changed in a distorted way. Who knows?
It's just that in this state, the power that the Deceiver can exert becomes much weaker. Kil'jaeden is of course powerful. Although it is worse than Archimonde, it is still stronger than the average one. Still a guardian, but he is not as good as Archimonde after all. For, only two or three Titan Keepers are enough to resist Kil'jaeden. Adding one Dragon Aspects or Titan Keepers is enough to defeat the Deceiver.
Just like the name the Deceiver, Kil'jaeden is actually better at formulating various conspiracies and trickery, and using deception to make a planet fall, but its combat effectiveness is slightly inferior.
This was clearly reflected in this battle. When Kil'jaeden directed the demons to attack, it put great pressure on the expeditionary force. However, when he started to rush towards Velen, the threat level dropped greatly, and even Velen saw the opportunity and used Holy Light to give Kil'jaeden a hard blow, which was regarded as revenge for the endless pursuit of Draenei by Kil'jaeden in the past tens of thousands of years.
It can be seen that Velen's feelings for Kil'jaeden are not as deep as Kil'jaeden's feelings for him, but they are full of hatred for him. As for the feelings they had when they worked together 25,000 years ago, Velen does not show it at all. Aaron doesn't know if this is the desolation of Kil'jaeden.
In the end, the third-in-command of the Burning Legion fell under the siege of digital Titan Keepers, and the Deceiver entered the resurrection process. As for whether he can be resurrected, Aaron thinks it is impossible, so smoothly Under the powerful attack, Aaron believes that this attack plan will definitely succeed. When Argus no longer serves Burning Legion, Kil'jaeden, which is not an original demon, will not be able to be resurrected.
After Kil'jaeden was solved, the resistance within Antorus, the Burning Throne became much weaker. However, as the core of the Burning Legion, the various facilities within Antorus, the Burning Throne that are conducive to defense are still There are a lot of them, not to mention that there are a large number of teleporters leading to the world ruled by the Burning Legion. If these portals are not broken, the demons may continue to rush out. If faced with such a situation, the expeditionary force will also have to pay a heavy price.
Fortunately, the expeditionary force quickly advanced to the area where the portals were located and began to close these portals. Among these portals, Aaron discovered a portal that he thought had not appeared at this time, leading to the portal of Elunaria where Eonar was hiding.
