13. Doomsday options
"You... These... Fail... products..."
A low, muffled voice, like the last thunder echoing in a storm, accompanied by the shutdown of the super-large magical energy engine, in a series of earth-shaking energy explosions, the huge body of the mechanical demon Golden Garros, the chief engineer of the Burning Legion Argus World, fell to pieces in its laboratory.
This great demon was originally just a variant of the little demon of Ganerga, who was proficient in legion engineering, and in the past tens of thousands of years, it relied on constantly transforming its body with powerful machinery, and gradually became a terrifying big demon, under the shell of that god-like mechanical life, only its brain and soul are the only existence in the body that is different from metal.
From an engineering standpoint alone, Kingaros is more dedicated and crazy than the vast majority of engineers in this stellar group, and it is a champion of the future of machinery.
And despite its archdemon power, it is more of a pure researcher, even when the White Unicorn and Black Banshee of the Darkblade Legion break through the Burning Throne, it remains in its own lab, crafting more advanced mechanical weapons for the Legion's research.
The Garosi Destroyer who almost tore apart the white unicorn is the latest research result of Golden Garros, that thing is much more dangerous than ordinary magic mechs, if the Legion can mass-produce mechanical weapons like the Gallosian Destroyer before the fall of Argus, then the vanguard and the Darkblade Legion will not be so easy to attack the Burning Throne.
"Click"
Luminas manipulated the Banshee mech to perform a self-examination, and she found that her beloved mech had been damaged after two consecutive battles, which made Ms. Scar very unhappy and unhappy, so when dismantling the body of Jin Garros, it also appeared to be much rougher.
The black mechanical giant tore open the metal head of the golden garross, sending the evil gears, levers, and intricate engineering links flying everywhere, and next to the banshee, the white unicorn was half-kneeling on the floor of the collapsing laboratory, and in its hand there was a mechanically reinforced soul stone, and under the pull of the pale death power, the twisted soul of the mechanical archdemon Golden Garros was stuffed into the soul stone little by little.
"The experimental body is still insufficient, and I hope that I don't need to pay for the damage this time."
Luminas was carrying the metal head of Jingaros and complained to Roglio, who was holding his soul:
"The boss is really picky, I was just joking last time, and he told me that in addition to the war mech issued by the Dark Blade, if I also want to collect the prototype of the Banshee, he will actually ask me to pay..."
"Of course you have to pay."
Rog stored the mechanical soul stone in his palm into his body's armor, manipulated the white unicorn to stand up, and loaded all the blueprints and mechanical semi-finished products from the Golden Garros laboratory into the unicorn's specific storage space.
"Do you know how expensive a prototype is? I've heard that the materials used to make these three prototypes alone have wiped out almost all of the Darkblade Consortium's profits over the past five years, not counting the time and effort spent by Loki's research team in the process, and thankfully the mechanical guardian Mimiron himself was also interested in the project, so we didn't ask us to pay him. ”
"Well, then it looks like I'm going to have to find a chance to make money."
Lord Luminas shrugged her shoulders as she manipulated the Banshee, and she said in a breath in the spirit link:
"The actual combat test of the 'Death Lord' class war airframe has been completed, and now I request to return!"
The words fell, on the edge of the demon laboratory that was about to collapse, a crack in the realm of death slowly opened, and little Yuna, who had not shown up for several days, rubbed her eyes and stood on the edge of the rift, her hair was messy, she looked like a dead house that had just woken up, and she was chewing a lollipop in her mouth, but when she saw the two metal giants in front of her, one black and one white, Yuna's tail "popped" and straightened.
"Wow!"
The little ghost let out a scream, and she looked at the two mechanical knights in front of her, and she shouted:
"Good Coooooool!!"
As soon as she flashed, in the dispersion of golden light, she appeared on the broad shoulders of the Banshee, the little ghost stretched out her fingers and tapped the cold metal, she grabbed the head armor of the Banshee, and flicked her tail around, she screamed:
"I want this! Give me the whole one too! ”
"Hahaha, you little fool."
Luminas let out a metallic laugh as she reached out to keep Yuna in the huge metal palm, and she carried little Yuna step by step into the rift of the dead world, and said:
"Next time I'm on a mission, I'll take you to play, speaking of, Yuna, where have you been these days?"
"Ugh"
Yuna scratched her head, her star-like eyes rolled, and her little tail flicked back and forth and said:
"It's a secret~"
Two war mechs stepped into the Dead Rift, the unicorn took out a heavy grenade launcher from the weapon armor box behind it, and Rogrio aimed his gun at the laboratory that was about to collapse in front of him, and he suddenly asked:
"By the way, Lumi, are the 'fugitives' sure to leave?"
"Hmm"
The Black Banshee nodded, and in the sound of the mechanical collision, she replied:
"Before entering the lab, it was confirmed that 14 fugitive ships had escaped from the Burning Throne from Argus, and their course was the Demon Fleet at the edge of the sector, and they had all left."
"Good."
The unicorn pulled the trigger, and in a few loud bangs, a blasting grenade mixed with Azerit dust was fired into the experiment in front of him, and the next second the Death Rift closed, a dazzling blue-white light erupted from the laboratory, like tens of thousands of serpents of light, enveloping the small half of the burning throne building in just a second, and then suddenly closing in the flames of destruction and annihilation energy.
After the light dissipated, the majestic Antorus Mountains seemed to have been gnawed by the Sky Swallowing Dog, and lost the support of the lower part of the building, and the entire Burning Throne began to collapse, like a landslide, crushing all the demons in the throne who could not escape into the collapsed ruins.
On the battlefield of the Antolan Wasteland, the old overseer of the orcs who commanded the vanguard army to raid the demon position. Standing on his command tank, the old orc clearly saw the collapse of the Burning Throne in the vision of the telescope, he lowered the telescope and looked at his adjutant and nephew, Dranosh. Sarufar said:
"Inform the rear command that the defense system of the Burning Throne has collapsed, let them send in engineering troops, there should be a lot of valuable things in that ruin... That's a 'gift' from that power. ”
"Dig them all out!"
——————————————
In the starry canopy, a few astronomical units away from Argus, 14 large starships are lined up, a fugitive fleet commanded by the new archdemon His Majesty Elodus after the mechanical assault on the Burning Throne.
The 14 starships are carrying the true elite demons of the Burning Throne, most of them are demon commanders loyal to His Majesty Elodos, and the true henchmen of the new archdemon, who responded to Elodos's call to flee when the throne was attacked and the situation collapsed, of course, according to the demons, this fleet is to "preserve" the living force of the legion.
In order to continue to dedicate strength and loyalty to the great Lord Sargeras when the Dark Titan counterattacks in the future.
But to flee is to escape, no matter how high-sounding, they still can't deceive themselves.
On the bridge of the starship in the panic, the archdemon Elodus looked at the projection of evil energy suspended in front of him, and at the moment when he saw the Burning Throne completely collapse in the violent explosion inside, even the archdemon like it felt a touch of fear from the heart.
"The throne is ruined..."
Elodus whispered:
"Argus, there's no going back."
"These damn barbarians!"
Erodus' lieutenant, a high-ranking witch of destruction, looked at the projection of the chaotic war in the Antolan wasteland, and she gritted her teeth and said:
"And the group of ethereal spirits who don't know whether they are alive or dead! How dare they mix with those barbarians and provoke the legions! When Lord Sargeras arrives, he must kill all these miscellaneous pieces! ”
"Losing is losing, and the entry of the ethereal spirit only accelerates the pace of our expulsion from that world."
Elodus scolded his lieutenant, the great demon's face shone with a look of regret, it turned around and saw the demons on the bridge, the face of the demons could not hide their panic and confusion, the great demon knew that at this moment, it must instill confidence in its subordinates, therefore, it said in a sonorous tone:
"As early as the defeat of Lord Agrama, Argus's change of hands was already inevitable, but it didn't matter. Guys, I expected this meeting for a long time, but..."
There was a flame beating in the eyes of the new archdemon, and it said loudly:
"We've got hole cards!"
"Our powerful Eredar fleet is docked at the edge of this star sector, it is a super fleet of nearly 3,000 starships, as long as they come to this ruined world, it only takes one salvo, this world that has no meaning to the legion will be reduced to ashes, not to mention, you should all know that in the world of Argus, there is still a demon hidden that can destroy everything..."
"The fallen Extinction Argus, who is also a Titan! The barbarians of Azeroth thought they had won, but they were only one step closer to destruction. ”
The Great Demon waved his hand confidently, like a leading captain, and said to his subordinates:
"Now! On my orders, let's go and join the fleet under the command of General Ishka, and..."
With a sneer under control, Elodus took one last look at the ruined world of Argus, and at the blue world of Azeroth, the source of all evil in the distant stars, and said in a deep voice:
"We're here to give this bunch of barbarians... Collect the corpse! ”
"Put away your stinking faces of crying and mourning for me! Activate Fleet Jump! ”
Elodus may not be a qualified archdemon, it has not been given power by the Fallen Titan or the Dark Titan, it is a parallel archdemon, but as the general of the former Antolan Command Council, he has controlled the demon fleet for tens of thousands of years, so that this new archdemon may not be as good as the cunning fraudster Kilgardan in terms of command, but it is definitely better than Akmund, who is full of muscles.
Inspired by it, the demons who saw hope suddenly returned to their previous noise, of course, because the demons were not very willing to think about complicated things.
With the light of the fleet of 14 starships entering the Transition Window, they arrived at the edge of the Azeroth system, where the Burning Legion's Eredar fleet was docked, and since the last time the High Lord destroyed a third of the invading fleet with the Focused Rainbow, Admiral Ishka had ordered the fleet to anchor and wait for new orders.
Now, these thousands of starships are scattered and occupy 7 small galaxies as a forward base for preparing for the invasion, and they have also captured some backward civilizations in these systems as slaves to prepare war materials.
"Ishka is really old..."
Elodos saw that the Eredar fleet had built several temporary starports, and the archdemon nodded in satisfaction, as another general of the Antolan Council, Ishka was once a master engineer of the fleet, so it was better at defensive warfare.
After informing the passage code, the 14 fugitive starships successfully entered the starport where the Eredar fleet was anchored, and when Elodos stepped on the planet that served as the fleet's temporary headquarters, the Eredar Demon Lord Ishka in the commander's uniform came to greet them in person.
It's not a passion to see old friends, but as friends who grew up together, joined the Eredan navy together, made great achievements together, and finally joined the Burning Legion together, the relationship between Elodos and Ishka is still much deeper than that between other demons. That's why Elodus wants Ishka's fleet as his last card, believing in his old friend.
"Come with me, Elodos, a friend has been waiting for you here for a long time."
General Ishka, leading the way, said to Elodus behind him:
"You'll be glad to see it!"
"Oh?"
The new Archdemon smiled reservedly, and it guessed:
"Could it be that the missing Miss Futhraks escaped from Azeroth? Or an old friend who fought for the Legion in another sector? ”
"You'll find out soon."
General Ishka said without looking back, and the two Eredar demons stepped forward under the arch of several evil lords, and they stepped into a demon-style evil tower, and the moment the archdemon Elodus stepped into the tower, the strange figure in the tower hall also turned around at the same time.
It was a Nasrezm Dreadlord...
With black wings, wearing black armor, claw-like hands, and a cane with a demon's bones, if you look closely, the bones of the cane are the skull of another Dreaddemon King...
The Dreadlord narrowed his eyes with a hint of a false smile and a hint of playfulness.
It looked at His Majesty the Great Demon Elodus, who was stunned in place, and it leaned over slightly, and said in a calm voice:
"Don't come unharmed, Lord Elodus, I'm... I've been waiting for you for a long time..."
