Chapter 614: After the War

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Roy was really confused because he didn’t understand what Tyrande’s action meant.

He could understand her hatred for him. After all, he had destroyed the sacred mountain and the World Tree of the night elves. Driven by this hate, even if she shot an arrow at him, regardless of whether she could hit him or not, it would still be an expression of her anger. But she didn’t do so and instead threw a dried banana over…

What is this? Is she destroying her favorite item that has accompanied her for so many years to express her anger?

But can this pose any threat to me? No, right? Then, what is the point of her doing this?

Just as Roy was puzzled, Junia flew back. She first looked at the Void Angel Auriel lying on his right shoulder and seemed very interested in her. Then she leaned on his left shoulder and blew into his ear. “Darling, that female elves riding a white tiger seems to know you!”

“Huh?” Roy was stunned for a moment. “That’s normal. Night elves have a long lifespan, so it’s normal for them to have heard my name, right?”

Junia shook her head. “That’s not what I mean. I feel that not only does she know you, but she also seems to be familiar with you…”

Hearing this, Roy immediately had a flash of inspiration and understood.?Ah, yes, that’s right. In that case, I probably appeared during the War of the Ancients…

From various historical signs, he had long speculated that he might be involved in a time flux in the near future, and this time flux would most likely bring him back to the history of this universe. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to leave his name in the Burning Legion and become the third commander.

And this kind of travel history was definitely based on time axis points. So far, Roy had speculated how many time axis points he would fall into. One was when Sargeras established the Burning Legion. Moreover, at this point in time, he should have been by Sargeras’s side. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have become colleagues with Archimonde and Kil’jaeden. From this, he could infer that there was an earlier time axis point. He had probably gotten to know Sargeras before he fell or when he just fell. After all, he and Sargeras had a contract for Sargeras to help him get a hundred trillion souls. No matter how Roy looked at it, they didn’t seem to have formed this contract before the establishment of the Burning Legion. If they had formed it after the establishment of the Burning Legion, Sargeras could have just let Roy bring the Legion to destroy planets and get the souls himself. Thus, this was the second time axis point that Roy thought of.

As for the third time axis point, it was the time when the prophet Velen escaped from Argus. Of course, this time axis point could also be regarded as the same point as the establishment of the Burning Legion. After all, the interval between the two wasn’t long.

The fourth time axis point should be the War of the Ancients. The elves of Azeroth and the Aspects should have known his name at this time and passed down the history that the Burning Legion had three commanders to future generations.

Since he appeared in the War of the Ancients, it made sense for the night elves to know him. But during the war, he likely didn’t take action much and was relatively low-profile, so the night elves didn’t know much about him. Otherwise, during the Battle of Mount Hyjal, they shouldn’t have only guarded against Archimonde but not Roy. After all, Roy felt that he was more dangerous than the boorish Archimonde. If the night elves knew him well, they wouldn’t have been so careless after receiving Ysera’s warning, giving him a chance to raid Mount Hyjal.

Of course, it was a possibility that the night elves didn’t have the ability to guard against two demon kings at the same time. But if Roy stood from the perspective of the night elves, he wouldn’t have let Malfurion awaken all the ancestral souls and use them all to deal with Archimonde. Instead, he would have left a portion to deal with himself.

After realizing this, Roy understood what Tyrande’s action just now meant. If he didn’t remember wrongly, she had been captured by the Burning Legion during the War of the Ancients. During her imprisonment, it was Elune’s protection that allowed her to be free from any abuse and torture. But even so, she had been imprisoned for a long time. Perhaps it was during her imprisonment that she had seen him.

Roy even figured out what Tyrande meant by throwing the banana. Perhaps the dried banana she had been keeping had been given to her by him! 𝗳r𝐞𝐞w𝐞bn𝚘ve𝚕.co𝐦

Roy didn’t doubt this at all because he definitely had such bad taste! Think about it. Tyrande had already chosen Malfurion as her partner, and Malfurion believed in the path of nature of druids. He slept in dreams all year round and might not even see Tyrande once for years. Under such circumstances, wouldn’t she be lonely and cold? Roy pitied her and threw her a banana to comfort herself, right?

After figuring this out, Roy couldn’t help having a strange expression on his face. If he really gave the banana to Tyrande, then she would really have kept the banana for so long and carried it with her. This surprised him even more. It was impossible for her to have suffered from Stockholm Syndrome during her imprisonment and felt that the demon who threw the banana to her was a good demon in that dangerous environment, right?!

Heavens, I really didn’t throw you a banana to fill your stomach…

From the bottom of her heart, she thought that he was a good demon, but in the end, he brought the Burning Legion to destroy her homeland, so she threw the banana out in anger to show that ‘I was wrong about you’?!

Was this what Tyrande wanted to express in the end?

This was why Roy had a strange expression on his face. He didn’t understand Tyrande’s train of thought. Logically speaking, she was a priestess of a race and a Chosen of Elune, so her thoughts shouldn’t be so simple. Therefore, he finally felt that he had said something to her that caused her to misunderstand.

Misunderstand that he was a good demon…

Were there any good demons in the Burning Legion? Of course not! But there might be a few traitors. Weren’t there the dreadlords?!

Therefore, Roy felt that Tyrande might have included him in the ranks of the traitors of the Burning Legion. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have believed what he said…

These were only Roy’s guesses. He wasn’t too sure what was going on, but it didn’t matter. Perhaps it wouldn’t take him long to figure it out.

While Roy was thinking, Junia was playing tricks again. Her entire body was wriggling against his, making him unable to think anymore…

The water of the Well of Eternity was in hand, Nordrassil had been destroyed, and even Mount Hyjal had been flattened. Roy could now retire after succeeding. As for the fleeing demons of the Burning Legion, Roy ignored them. Either these demons would scatter all over Kalimdor and bring trouble to the people living here, or it wouldn’t be long before they responded to Kil’jaeden’s call and returned to the Legion. After all, they were not under Roy’s command. Not long after Archimonde’s death, Kil’jaeden would quickly take over the command.

This was also why Roy formed the dragon lich army. He guessed that after being swept into a time flux, he had been in a state of time jumping. Even if he returned to the past, he wouldn’t continue to exist. Instead, he would inexplicably experience a time jump and then disappear for a long time in the eyes of Archimonde and Kil’jaeden before reappearing. Under these circumstances, even though Roy was the third commander, it would be impossible for Archimonde and Kil’jaeden to hand over the command of the Legion to him.

As time passed, it would be even more impossible for Archimonde and Kil’jaeden, who had held the command for a long time, to hand it over. Therefore, Roy might be able to command some of the Legion’s demons after returning, but it was impossible to command the Legion for a long time.

The sudden death of Archimonde during the attack on Mount Hyjal caught Kil’jaeden off guard. Helpless, he could only leave the invasion of Azeroth to Roy for the time being. But it wouldn’t be long before he took command of the Legion’s invasion again. Instead of waiting for Kil’jaeden to do this, it would be better for him not to want it. Anyway, the combat strength of this dragon lich army was enough for him to use, so he would just bring his own troops.

“Let’s leave. The credit for destroying Mount Hyjal and the Well of Eternity is enough for me to ask for my pay from Sargeras!” Roy hugged Junia and smiled.

Thus, as Rafaro turned around and left, Malygos and Sindragosa flew into the sky with the dragon lich army and gradually departed, leaving only a blazing and tragic battlefield and the crumbling earth.

Rafaro carried Roy and Junia high in the sky. Junia hadn’t come out for a long time, so Roy didn’t neglect her and lingered with her for a while. It wasn’t until the fusion ended and Julia and Benia reappeared that he stopped.

Julia and Benia didn’t have any memories of the battle, so they asked Roy, “Did we retreat?”

Roy nodded, indicating that he had achieved his goal. Although Julia and Benia didn’t seem to have participated much, they still smiled and hugged his arms. “Where are we going next?”

“To find someone!” Roy smiled mysteriously. “Although our boss Sargeras is missing, I know that he’s definitely on this planet, and the person we’re looking for will bring us to find the boss…”

Although only two days had passed, the defeat of Mount Hyjal still shocked the entire continent of Kalimdor. After all, the collapse of the World Tree Nordrassil was visible even hundreds of kilometers away from Mount Hyjal. The survivors also saw the tragic state of the alliance army of the three races, which was riddled with wounds and suffered heavy losses, after they returned to their camps.

Humans, orcs, and elves, these three races were already full of conflicts. It would have been fine if the alliance army had won this time. But once it failed, the alliance wouldn’t be far from falling apart. Therefore, after escaping from the battlefield of Mount Hyjal, the three races parted ways tacitly. Thrall brought the orcs back to Durotar, which was under construction, while Jaina brought the humans back to Theramore, which was also under construction. As for the night elves, under the lead of Malfurion and Tyrande, they prepared to find another forest to settle down in.

The reason for the temporary separation was that the leaders of the three parties knew very well that if they gathered again at this time, conflicts might break out among the alliance army. So it was better to be alone and lick their wounds first.

On the human side, Jaina was now worried to death. After all, humans were the race with the most complicated thoughts. The refugees who had escaped to Kalimdor with her mainly consisted of three parts. One part was refugees from Lordaeron, and the other two parts were refugees from the kingdom of Gilneas and Kul Tiras. They had no choice but to come to Kalimdor. On the one hand, it was to avoid the Scourge, and on the other hand, it was because their leader, Jaina, had believed Medivh’s words and crossed the sea to go to Kalimdor.

The refugees had just escaped from the Undead Scourge and landed in the unfamiliar land of Kalimdor. They were at their most insecure, but they had suffered a major defeat at Mount Hyjal. It was obvious how anxious the surviving civilians were.

So in just a short while, the talk of returning to the Eastern Kingdoms began to spread. People felt that they shouldn’t continue to stay in Kalimdor but should go back. Even if they didn’t return to Lordaeron, which was being ravaged by the Scourge, they could still go to Stormwind City. Before coming to Kalimdor, people had heard that King Varian Wrynn of Stormwind had already accepted a large number of refugees from Lordaeron! They could return to seek the protection of Stormwind.

From this argument, it was apparent that people felt that even facing the Scourge was better than facing the Burning Legion…

Regarding this public opinion, Jaina couldn’t suppress it nor let it go. She didn’t know what to do…

The orc side was fine. Thrall had enough prestige, so the orcs didn’t say anything about the defeat in the war. But in order to seek a place of survival, some orcs suggested that they should take this opportunity to occupy more land from the night elves. After all, the conflict between the orcs and the night elves was very big, and it was better to take advantage of the night elves’ defeat to occupy as much territory as possible.

Similarly, there were internal conflicts among the night elves. The archdruid Fandral Staghelm publicly criticized Malfurion, saying that his ineffective leadership had led to the defeat of the Battle of Mount Hyjal. He felt that Malfurion had to be responsible for it, and Tyrande naturally wanted to protect Malfurion, so both sides quarreled.

The internal conflicts involved a lot of their energy, but the leaders of the three races knew that they had to solve Osiris, this massive shadow hanging over Azeroth, because no one knew what he would do next after destroying Mount Hyjal…

At the same time, the leaders of the three races realized one thing. They had to seek greater strength. Otherwise, they would be too powerless against a demon king-level demon…
