This is a desolate world, like hell, a barren, wild, and lifeless land.
The earth was crimson, the sky was crimson, the creatures that walked here were crimson, everything was crimson.
Here, Gul'dan persuaded the leaders of the various Orcs clans to drink Demon Blood. Like the Orcs ' skin, this land bore the marks of being corrupted by Fel. The once fertile land became arid and barren, and the plants gradually withered and died. The creatures that survived were exposed to Fel and mutated.
Felhound and hellboars were everywhere, sandworms crawled underground, and demons walked on the surface; everything seemed so terrifying.
Hellfire Peninsula, this land burning with hellfire, has become a demonic land deeply corrupted by Fel.
Its home planet, Draenor, now the Shattered Outland, is one of the countless planets conquered by the Burning Legion.
Moreover, it is one of the more important ones.
In the pale green light, Lord Jaraxxus arrived.
Sensing the malevolent magical energy permeating the air, and the corrosive power emanating from the depths of the earth, Lord Jaraxxus felt as if he were a dragon returning to the sea.
Only in such places of Fel can demons find their favorite spots.
However, the concentration of Fel here is not high enough.
There are several other places where the concentration is even higher.
"This is... the Path of Glory?"
High Lord Jaraxxus looked around and saw a road as wide as the " Path of the Titans," its surface and soil covered with countless white bones. The number of lives lost on this road was well over 100,000.
This road stretches from the eerie Hellfire Citadel all the way to the Dark Portal, littered with the bones of the Draenei.
" The Path of Glory, the Path of Glory, the Orcs ' Path of Glory, the path of slaughter, the Draenei's path of misery, a path of hatred built upon piles of bones... Heh heh, interesting, very interesting!"
A deep voice sounded, and Lord Jaraxxus looked into the distance, seeing a vast expanse of desolation, a sky ablaze with blood, and the traces of some demons.
Those are demons belonging to the Burning Legion.
Not all demons belong to the Burning Legion; some have already sided with Illidan and are now serving the Illidari.
The demons had clearly also spotted Lord Jaraxxus, sensed the terrifying evil magical energy emanating from him, and then, upon seeing his " Eredar demon" appearance, confirmed that he was an Eredar lord whose origins and purpose were unknown. They quickly approached him, behaving with utmost respect.
The Burning Legion has a strict hierarchy. Lower-ranking demons must show sufficient respect and loyalty to higher-ranking demons, or they will face only Devastation.
"I am Jaraxxus, the Eredar King from Argus!"
High Lord Jaraxxus's deep, resonant voice rang out. "Tell me, what is the situation here?"
"The situation is very bad!"
The leading Dread Demon looked up at High Lord Jaraxxus, met Jaraxxus eyes, and, intimidated by his powerful aura, quickly lowered his head. " Illidan betrayed us, conquered Hellfire Citadel and the Black Temple, and imprisoned Lord Magtheridon! He also received help from some Draenei Broken! And from the High Elf from Azeroth!"
"What about the other demons? Have you all been wiped out?"
"No, no! We've preserved at least half our forces!"
The Dread Demon quickly explained, "Under the leadership of Lord Socrethar the Eternal One, we have captured Throne of Kil'jaeden and at least half of Netherstorm's territory! Furthermore, we have also captured Blade's Edge Mountains and parts of Nagrand, and we are planning to rescue Lord Magtheridon!"
"So, you're actually a disorganized mess right now? Haven't you considered contacting Lord Kil'jaeden, or Argus, to request reinforcements?"
"That damned Illidan! He destroyed all our portals! Without enough energy..."
"We cannot open a portal large enough for Lord Kil'jaeden to pass through! The Illidari, High Elf, and Broken have been constantly destroying our base, and the Fel Orcs who have sided with Illidan are relentlessly attacking Throne of Kil'jaeden!" The Dread Demon gritted his teeth. "Lord Kil'jaeden cannot descend! Fortunately, we have awaited you! I have heard of your name; you are a mid-ranking commander of the Burning Legion, your status even surpassing that of Lord Socrethar! With your arrival, we will surely defeat Illidan under your leadership!"
Lord Jaraxxus nodded. "Tell me, who can make contact with Argus and Lord Kil'jaeden?"
"Only Lord Socrethar!"
The Dread Demon hurriedly replied, "Lord Socrethar holds a transcendent position; he is not even under the jurisdiction of Magtheridon! He is a confidant of Lord Kil'jaeden! We are not qualified to contact the great Lord Kil'jaeden; only Lord Socrethar is!"
"So, where is Socrethar?"
"Lord Socrethar is on the floating island in the northern part of Netherstorm!"
Is that so...?
It's exactly the same as I remember!
In that case, the Burning Legion of Outland belongs to me!
"Go, tell all the demons that I have arrived! Tell them to come to Throne of Kil'jaeden and see me. I must see them in a week! I will lead you to breach Hellfire Citadel, rescue Magtheridon, and then lead you to conquer the Black Temple and kill the Betrayer Illidan! Finally, I will lead you to break through the Dark Portal and invade Azeroth!"
High Lord Jaraxxus strode northward, towards the direction of the Netherstorm.
To gain complete control of the Burning Legion forces in Outland, Kil'jaeden must sever all ties with this region.
Therefore, all we need to do is eliminate Socrethar.
The Eredar have no wings and cannot fly.
However, one can also fly briefly using magic and Fel, although it consumes more energy.
He had never been to this world before, and there were no magical coordinates for any place, so he couldn't teleport.
He could only transform his Fel into a pair of bat wings, spreading them out like those of Dread Demon, and fly into the distant sky.
It's a bit inconvenient and uncomfortable; the speed isn't fast, but it's manageable.
After flying for two whole days, passing Throne of Kil'jaeden, through spaces filled with Arcane and Void turbulence, and through purple Netherstorm, they finally arrived at a small floating island in the far north and met Socrethar.
This Eredar Warlock, who was transformed from Draenei decades ago, betrayed the Prophet Velen.
He was involved in both the fall of Shattrath and the creation of the Path of Glory.
He must be among the people Velen and the Draenei hate the most.
He was once a member of the Draenei Council of Exarchs, the governor of the Draenei city of Shattrath, and a High-tier Legendary deeply favored by the Holy Light. But now, he is the supreme commander of all the remaining Legion forces in Outland.
When he saw Lord Jaraxxus, a strange expression appeared on his face.
Because he had maintained contact with Lord Kil'jaeden, if Lord Kil'jaeden were sending a mid-level commander, why wouldn't he contact him first?
As one of Kil'jaeden's most trusted mid-level commanders, he naturally knew of Lord Jaraxxus's existence and that he was an Eredar lord whose status was subtly higher than his own. Not daring to be negligent, he quickly stepped forward to pay his respects.
However, he was met with the wrath and warhammer of Lord Jaraxxus.
" Socrethar! The Betrayer to the Draenei, and the Betrayer to the Burning Legion!"
"Lord Kil'jaeden knows you have sided with Illidan, so he has sent me here to conduct a fair trial and judgment against you!"
"Now face my judgment, you despicable the Betrayer!"
Lord Jaraxxus charged toward Socrethar.
Socrethar looked completely bewildered.
"No, I did not betray Lord Kil'jaeden!" Socrethar protested as she dodged.
However, he was already weaker Lord Jaraxxus, and now, having been Cheap Shot, he could only unleash half of his full strength, and was immediately and severely injured by Lord Jaraxxus.
"Help me! Help me now!" Socrethar shouted urgently.
"Lord Kil'jaeden knows very well that the only the Betrayer is Socrethar, not you! A just trial will not tolerate any interference. Anyone who dares to interfere will be considered an accomplice and the Betrayer, and will surely face Lord Kil'jaeden's judgment!" Lord Jaraxxus's voice rang out once more.
The other demons looked at each other, unsure of whom to help.
Those who can stand here are all Socrethar's confidants, several of whom are Legendary- level demons, belonging to the low-ranking commander level. For example, there are a few not-so-powerful Abyssal Commander and Dread Demon.
They were also aware of the existence of Lord Jaraxxus.
Compared to Socrethar, a "newcomer" who has only served the Burning Legion for less than fifty years, Lord Jaraxxus, a lord who has been with the Burning Legion for tens of thousands of years, is clearly of higher status and more valued.
Will Lord Jaraxxus betray the Burning Legion?
They simply don't believe it!
On the contrary, Socrethar, who has a history of betrayal, is more likely to betray. After all, even Lord Magtheridon was imprisoned by Illidan, so Lord Socrethar, whose strength is inferior to Lord Magtheridon's, seems to have ample reason to betray.
Ten minutes later, Socrethar, enraged, was covered in wounds.
He was ultimately no match for Lord Jaraxxus and met a violent end.
"Gather everyone and await me at Throne of Kil'jaeden!"
Lord Jaraxxus coldly replied, "Lord Kil'jaeden is very displeased with Illidan's betrayal and has ordered me to breach Hellfire Citadel within half a month and the Black Temple within a month, bringing Illidan's head to him!"
The group of people fell silent, too terrified to disobey.
Once all the demons had left, Lord Jaraxxus took action, destroying all the Legion portals, then cast a spell to teleport to the Path of Glory, before looking south.
That's the direction of Shadowmoon Valley, the direction of the Black Temple.
" Illidan, the time has come to wipe out the remaining forces of the Burning Legion and completely conquer Outland!"
