Since Roy was carrying out a blockade mission, he didn’t get too close to Argus. Instead, he stationed himself on a satellite outside Argus and divided the Burning Legion demons he brought into dozens of groups, arranging them in an encirclement outside Argus on starships.

When the starships of the Burning Legion appeared, the eredar on the ground of Argus naturally saw them. The people led by Archimonde and Kil’jaeden were already preparing to welcome the arrival of the Burning Legion, especially Kil’jaeden. He, who had been indecisive at first, finally put aside his hesitation after discovering the appearance of the Burning Legion and planned to submit completely to Sargeras.

At this moment, the eredar society had already been divided into two sides. Those who didn’t want to join the Burning Legion had basically all gathered around the prophet Velen. When Velen learned of the appearance of the Burning Legion starships, he realized that he had to act quickly.

But now, Velen still had one problem that he had to solve—Kil’jaeden.

After Kil’jaeden made up his mind to submit to the Burning Legion, he began to lobby Velen. He actually knew that Velen planned to resist Sargeras and the Burning Legion, so he was worried that Velen’s actions would anger Sargeras and bring disaster to Argus. So during this period of time, he frequently looked for Velen to persuade him to join the Burning Legion. Velen could only feign civility to deal with him while secretly accelerating the gathering of his people who wanted to escape.

Velen knew that the moment he escaped, the launch of the starships couldn’t be hidden from Kil’jaeden. If Kil’jaeden stopped him, he might lose a lot of his people, so he had to think of a way.

Thus, Velen used the excuse of discussing joining the Burning Legion with Kil’jaeden and Archimonde to invite the two of them to his clan’s headquarters. Archimonde and Kil’jaeden didn’t doubt him, so they came alone. Velen expressed that it was a matter of great importance, so he arranged a special room to meet the two of them. While discussing, Velen suddenly took action and instantly knocked out Archimonde and Kil’jaeden.

This was the power of being a prophet. Archimonde and Kil’jaeden didn’t have the ability to predict, so they didn’t know that such a situation would occur on this trip and were ambushed by Velen.

Velen didn’t kill them. After all, they were his compatriots. But in order to keep them quiet for a while, he could only do this. After eliminating the interference, he immediately ordered his people to board the ships.

There were still a lot of eredar who wanted to escape. Velen had organized four huge starships to transport these people. Why four instead of more? The reason was naturally related to the number of naaru helping them!

No one could tell when these naaru appeared on Argus. But after Sargeras, the Dark Titan, had descended on Argus and made the request, the naaru approached Velen.

There were a total of four naaru who appeared on Argus. According to their self-proclaimed names, they were K’ure, Do’rei, L’ura, and K’ara. Among them, K’ure was the first to come into contact with Velen. It was precisely because of his appearance that Velen was surprised to find that there were actually such strange creatures in the vast universe. Although he had doubts about the origin of the naaru, the powerful Holy Light power in the four naaru dispelled his doubts. He believed that with this holy and glorious power, the naaru were not bad people.

Otherwise, why would they say that Holy Light was suitable to deceive people…

In any case, Velen quickly believed them. Although the naaru had powerful Holy Light power, there were too few of them, and they were unable to fight against the Dark Titan and the Burning Legion. Therefore, Velen proposed wanting to escape from Argus to them. After the naaru recognized this, they began to help him selflessly. They used the power of Holy Light to heal the injuries of the eredar and calm their anxious hearts, allowing Velen to carry out his plan to organize his people to escape smoothly. Although the naaru spared no effort in promoting the power and belief of Holy Light during this process, making Velen slightly worried, he put this worry behind him after seeing his people become incomparably united under the gathering of faith.

The four starships were, to be precise, ecological ships. Such ships didn’t have many weapons and protection capabilities, so the naaru proposed that they could each be on a starship. This way, even if there was an accident during the escape, the naaru could use Holy Light to protect the eredar.

Moreover, when organizing the eredar to board the ships, the naaru guarded the entrances of the ships. Every person who entered the ship would be illuminated by the warm Holy Light of the naaru. The eredar, who didn’t know what was going on, thought that the Holy Light was comforting them, so they were grateful to the naaru. But only Velen knew that the naaru were screening the people boarding the ships through the Holy Light to guard against infiltrators from the Burning Legion.

Reality proved that this was not groundless worry. Several succubi and illusion demons of the Burning Legion had transformed into the appearances of eredar and wanted to sneak into the fleeing starships. But due to their low strength, they had nowhere to hide under the illumination of Holy Light. The intense Holy Light shone on their bodies and reacted with their evil and dark powers, burning them until they screamed in pain and finally revealed their true bodies.

After identifying them, the naaru were not polite and directly used Holy Light to purify them.

The exposure of these demon spies increased Velen’s psychological pressure. He could only urge his people to board the ships as soon as possible so that they could take off as soon as possible. After thinking about it, he still felt worried, so he didn’t hesitate to expend his strength to try to predict the fate of his people.

Starlight shone in Velen’s eyes, and scenes began to appear intermittently in his eyes. A moment later, he stopped prophesying and held his staff while panting loudly.

In the prophecy, he saw the scene of the fleeing starships being shot down by the fel cannons of the Burning Legion after taking off. His original escape route was full of dangers, and in the prophecy, there was only one route that was very safe.

However, the specific reasons were not revealed in the prophecy. This was a common problem for incomplete time users like prophets. The prophecies they made were often vague, especially the processes were the vaguest. Instead, the results were sometimes clearer.

Although the prophecy was vague, since the outcome was good, it didn’t prevent Velen from carrying out the prophecy. After all his people boarded the ships, the escape starships began to take off, and he immediately pointed out the direction of escape to them.

Needless to say, everyone might have guessed it. Yes, the direction in which Velen commanded the starships to escape happened to be where Roy was. Roy had actually chosen a random direction to guard, and he had no intention of touching the fleeing starships of the eredar. But the fun part was here. In fact, no matter which direction he chose to guard, Velen would flee in that direction based on the revelations obtained in the prophecy.

This was an utterly unavoidable reality…

The starships began to set off toward the outer atmosphere. The eredar people, who had already been screened, stayed in the cabins and prayed anxiously. Almost everyone had this attitude.

Since the words used were ‘almost everyone’, there were definitely exceptions. In a corner of a starship, two ‘people’ who looked like female eredar were talking softly.

“Benia, what should we do? Are we really going to follow these eredar with tentacles on their chins and escape from Argus?” the slender female eredar asked in a depressed voice.

“How is that possible?” The shorter female eredar harrumphed coldly. “Osiris once told us to meet up on Argus. If we run far away, how can we find him?”

Yes, these two female eredar were actually transformed from Julia and Benia. In fact, when they boarded the ship, they were only one person. They had snuck in after fusing with their earrings to become the angelic demon Junia. Because they were strong enough to resist the Holy Light of the naaru, they didn’t expose themselves under the illumination of the Holy Light and were able to sneak onto a refugee ship. After entering, they removed their fusion and used the appearance of eredar women to deceive others.

What was worth mentioning was that Julia and Benia had appeared on Argus thirty years ago. After falling out of the spacetime vortex, they had landed on Argus, which saved them a lot of trouble, such as searching for a starship in space to find Argus.

During these thirty years, they had transformed into the appearance of eredar and lived on this planet. In these thirty years, not only had they mastered the language of the eredar, but they even knew the various customs of the eredar like the back of their hands. They had also gotten to know many neighbors, and many of them knew these sisters. Moreover, their transformed appearances were relatively close, so their friends even compared them to another set of twins who were not-so-famous now.

These twins would be the adjutants of Kil’jaeden in the future, the Eredar Twins, Sacrolash and Alythess…

There were many eredar who were familiar with Julia and Benia, so they didn’t arouse any suspicion when they sneaked onto the refugee ship.

“Since you don’t want to leave Argus, why did you drag me onto the ship?” Julia asked in puzzlement.

“Hehe, have you forgotten? The community we lived in was full of rebels unwilling to join the Burning Legion!” Benia smiled. “If we don’t follow everyone, won’t we look too different?”

Julia frowned. “That’s true… But as you can see, once the prophet Velen leaves with these people, he may never return to Argus again. How are we going to wait for our darling?”

“That’s why we have to think of a way!” Bewitching evilness flashed in Benia’s eyes. “Don’t you think that if we hijack this starship as a gift of surrender, won’t we be able to join the Burning Legion smoothly? At that time, won’t we be able to ask Sargeras to be stationed on Argus?”

Julia instantly understood and said excitedly, “That’s a good idea!”

Benia had always had many ideas, so she naturally came up with this plan. It couldn’t be helped. They had passed through the spacetime flux and didn’t know much about the historical events of this universe, so they didn’t know what time it was now. In addition, they didn’t know Sargeras at all. Even if they recommended themselves to join the Burning Legion, they couldn’t guarantee where they would be sent. They still needed to wait on Argus for Roy’s arrival.

Fortunately, the arrival of the Dark Titan created a good opportunity for the two of them to join the Burning Legion. Moreover, if they joined as eredar, the chances of them staying on Argus would be much higher…
