Titan King: Ascension of the Giant

"Too cunning, these despicable Merfolk!"

The speaker was Kadir.

Watching the Merfolk retreat into the seawater as soon as the situation turned unfavorable, Kadir felt this battle was impossible to win, and that there was no end in sight.

"Praise Lorelia! She's the most beautiful, kindest queen I've ever met!"

Compared to Kadir, Nico was much more pragmatic.

Because they had signed a slave contract with Orion, Lorelia could sense Orion's aura on Nico and Kadir.

Therefore, on the battlefield, Lorelia took very good care of Nico and Kadir.

Beside Nico and Kadir stood two Hero level peak cave spiders, guarding them.

Relying on these cave spiders, they had dodged attacks several times, preserving their lives, and had incidentally obtained quite a few battle merits.

The reason Nico admired Lorelia so much was that whenever the cave spiders beside them died in battle, Lorelia would assign new cave spider guards to them.

"Kadir, I've decided! I'm getting married when I go back this time. I need to leave behind heirs."

"Even if I can't marry a succubus or a blood elf, I'll marry a beastfolk."

"If I can't even marry a beastfolk, I'll go buy human slaves. Buy two... no... given my physique, I should probably buy four."

Kadir used his two-handed sword to support himself on the ground, stood up, and gazed towards Mist Bay, paying no attention to his chattering friend Nico.

"This is a good place!"

After a long pause, Kadir sighed with feeling.

As a clever man, Kadir, who fancied himself a strategist, recognized the superior geographical location of Mist Bay.

Following this line of thought, Kadir had already guessed a part of Orion's intentions, guessed the strategic layout of the Stoneheart Horde.

Especially when Kadir saw the damaged port by the seaside outside the city, Kadir was already envisioning a bright future for Lysinthia City.

"If we can handle the Sea Race, or sign a peace treaty with them, then truly..."

Just as Kadir was deep in thought, Nico beside him twisted his large buttocks, stood up trembling, walked over to a nearby Merfolk, and cut off its fish fin.

This was a spoil of war, proof of battle achievement.

"I've made up my mind! If I can return alive, I will gather all the delicacies from the Human Kingdom for Stoneheart Horde, offer all the fine foods to Queen Lorelia."

As Nico's friend, Kadir could guess what the other was thinking just by the wiggle of his rear.

"So, what's your objective?"

"Hehehe, this is Whitesilk. I've decided, I want to sign an equal contract with it."

"Are you capable?"

"I definitely am! I want to become partners with it, comrades in arms, brothers!"

Kadir certainly believed Nico meant these words.

However, the premise for all this was that this cave spider named Whitesilk possessed formidable combat strength and could help Nico rake in battle achievements.

It could even become his mount, his mode of transport, and a tool to attract those materialistic human women whose minds were filled entirely with money.

In the Human Kingdom, whether for knights, mercenaries, or even common people, being able to sign a contract with a powerful beast was an incredibly glorious matter.

With a beast as a partner, Nico's combat capability would be indirectly enhanced significantly.

"If you succeed, I'll try too!"

Kadir silently decided to let his friend serve as a test subject.

If it truly succeeded, currying favor with a Spider Queen for a Hero level peak cave spider would be an absolute steal.

For the sake of face, for the sake of one's life, any amount of currying favor was worthwhile.

"Those two humans were sent here by the Master's direct order!"

"Their strength is so low, so lacking in presence!"

Actually, the one truly lacking presence was Lorelia herself; she didn't even appear on the battlefield, merely controlling the small spiders from behind the scenes.

"They surely have their own destination. Coming here is just to let them gain battle achievements and integrate with us."

Lysinthia's hair danced in the wind. Standing on the city wall, she possessed a unique, coolly elegant charm.

"Lysinthia, it's almost winter. Do you think Master will return?"

"I don't know either!"

Lysinthia gazed towards the distant sea surface. Truth be told, she also missed Orion and Lilith quite a bit.

Whenever she recalled the past days in Blackstone City, the days of living together in the tents and making love, she would feel very happy; those were memories belonging to them.

"The Sea Race has retreated!"

Just then, a calm voice sounded. Gustalon materialized from the wind, informing Lysinthia of the Sea Race's full withdrawal.

After returning from the Godforsaken Land, Gustalon had accompanied Lorelia and the others to Lysinthia City to support the battle here.

On a battlefield devoid of descending Legendary level beings, Gustalon was an invincible existence.

Any Alpha level Merfolk daring to crawl ashore would be harvested by him.

"Winter arrives, the dark beast tides descend. The Merfolk dare not come ashore; they will retreat to the deep sea."

"Everyone has worked hard during this time!"

Lysinthia nodded, then turned towards all the bloodline warriors who participated in the defensive battle, expressing her gratitude.

"Next, repairing and strengthening Lysinthia City's walls will trouble everyone again."

"..."

Valkorath Realm, Soraya City.

Inside Dusk Castle, Lilith's child was born.

Orion held Pallas, looking into the little one's eyes.

Pallas inherited the appearance of a giant. His pupils were rose-red—his mother's color, belonging to the succubus bloodline.

Furthermore, Pallas was born with powerful mental strength; he perfectly inherited the strengths of both Orion and the succubi.

"We return to Blackstone City tomorrow. I want all the tribesmen to know that the Prince of the Stoneheart Horde has been born!"

Lilith leaned back nearby, smiling, maternal love slightly overflowing.

Beside her, Soraya stroked her own belly, constantly complaining inwardly about her own lack of 'competitiveness'.

During this period in the Valkorath Realm, Lilith couldn't have sex; Soraya had consistently been Orion's sexual partner.

However, luck had not fallen upon Soraya.

"Sigh, so frustrating! I'm so envious of you!"

"Your day will come too!"

Soraya's distress, Lilith completely understood. She herself had worried about this matter for a very, very long time.

Even for the sake of this offspring, both the Succubus tribe and the Giant tribe had exhausted immense effort.

...

Thousands of miles away, fungal creature battlefield frontline.

"The Giant Prince of the Stoneheart Horde is born!"

Rendall was overjoyed, ecstatic; the Giant tribe had finally awaited the arrival of their prince.

Of course, in the eyes of Rendall and the others, Kronos, fostered in the human kingdom, simply couldn't be considered a prince.

"I must fight bravely! I must offer a great gift to His Highness the Prince!"

Thundar raised his greatsword, urging his dark fiend into the fungal creature swarm. He decided to offer a large batch of cultivation resources to the Prince of the Stoneheart Horde.

"For Pallas!"

"For His Highness the Prince!"

The guards Dace, Otho, Beyn, and Torba were also extremely excited. They shouted the names of Orion and Pallas, cheering for the resurgence of the Giant Tribe.
