Titan King: Ascension of the Giant
Chapter 699 - 699: This wish of yours will definitely come true

That night, Orion had revealed a great deal. The emergence of the Sea Race war had given him new plans for this southern territory.

The establishment of the canal would not only meet the needs of military conquest but also facilitate the collection of faith within the horde and economic exchange.

Once the canal was completed, all the subjects in the Stoneheart Horde's southern territory would have an external route for communication.

Only then would the people in the territory know who their lord was and to which Tribe they belonged.

Naturally, Orion would then be able to acquire more faith.

If the canal could be constructed according to Orion's wishes, it would stimulate the entire socio-economic activity of the Stoneheart Horde.

Among these, the canal held great significance for situational stability, agricultural development, transportation, regional development, economic and cultural exchange, and more.

It could be said that achieving the initial military objectives was merely the tip of the iceberg for this canal.

"My dear Orion, rest assured, I will definitely carve out this grand canal according to your wishes."

Delilah stood atop the cliff, gazing out at the sea.

At this moment, her breadth of mind, her decisiveness, her determination—they were vaster than this great sea.

North, Lysinthia City.

Like Delilah, Orion was also facing the sea at this moment.

Before leaving, Orion wanted to personally see the cultivation plans for the Giant Kelp Water Cannons and Ocean Hunters come to fruition.

In Mist Bay, ten Sea-Devouring Warships had already been launched.

Under Orion's supervision, the Giant Kelp Water Cannons and Ocean Hunters had successively entered the parasitic and incubation stages.

"Tell me more about the situation on Serpent Isle!"

Orion withdrew his gaze from the Sea-Devouring Warships and turned his head to look at Lysinthia.

In the sea breeze, Lysinthia's long hair fluttered. Orion pulled her into his embrace.

"Jynx, Queen of the Serpentfolk, she is the most powerful Medusa."

"She stands at the very apex of Syltharion, looking down upon all serpentfolk, the most revered being among them."

Lysinthia gazed at the sea, her beautiful eyes slightly glazed over, as if she were recalling something.

"What kind of place is Syltharion?"

"The Serpentfolk's Royal Capital. I don't know its exact location either."

Lysinthia shook her head, indicating she wasn't clear either.

On Serpent Isle, apart from the royal clan, the serpentfolk have many branches.

Among the Serpentfolk branches, if a snake-woman evolves into a Medusa, she becomes eligible to be an heir of the serpentfolk, with a chance to ascend the throne.

Back then, Lysinthia's branch of serpentfolk lost in a regional competition. Not only did Lysinthia fail to advance to Medusa, but a portion of her kin was also driven out of Serpent Isle.

"Do you want to become the Queen of the Serpentfolk?"

Orion was very confident. He tightened his arm around Lysinthia, dominantly pressing her back, making her soft body cling tightly to his.

"It can't be done!"

"Hmm?"

Lysinthia looked up at Orion, whose face was full of confusion.

"When we land on Serpent Isle, there will be no more serpentfolk, nor will there be Medusas."

"There will only be the Gorgon population!"

"And the Gorgon population has no queen, only a Demon Lord!!"

Lysinthia stared at Orion, a sentence unspoken.

The Demon Lord... would not be her, but Orion.

If that moment truly came, Lysinthia could only be the Demon Queen of the Gorgons.

"This wish of yours will definitely come true!"

Orion laughed heartily and lowered his head to kiss Lysinthia. This was his promise to her.

Splash, splash... Splash, splash...

Just as Lysinthia was gradually becoming aroused and preparing to make love with Orion, a series of splashing sounds came from Mist Bay.

That was the Ocean Hunters feeding!

The Ocean Hunters were very ferocious. Just hatched, they could devour the Merfolk corpses Orion had ordered thrown into the water, leaving not even bone fragments behind.

The Ocean Hunters' bodies were very fragile, but their mouths were full of sharp teeth, exceptionally keen from birth.

A pack of Ocean Hunters gathered together could devour all the Merfolk corpses in an area within two minutes, leaving nothing behind.

That scene, just watching it, was enough to make one's skin crawl.

"Th-these little things... are actually so terrifying!!"

Slagor stammered a bit as he spoke. The Ocean Hunters in the seawater made him shudder.

It wasn't that the Ocean Hunters were overwhelmingly powerful, but the bloody and cruel scene they created when feeding as a group affected him deeply.

The sight of Ocean Hunters tearing at their enemies made Slagor understand that if lizardmen encountered these Ocean Hunters in the water, the result would be the same: death.

Many of the Merfolk corpses thrown into Mist Bay were clad in scales, possessing high natural defense.

But those scales, before the Ocean Hunters, were as brittle as paper.

"Look at the teeth in their mouths. Each one is like a cone, completely different from the teeth of those carnivorous beasts on land."

"One can imagine that when these little things' teeth bite into anything, they will cause a localized crushing effect."

Standing beside Slagor and pointing to the nearest Ocean Hunter was Brakthul.

Brakthul was Gronthar's younger brother. Ever since escorting Fergus back from the Blood Elf territory, Brakthul had been dispatched to garrison the Black Forest, and later sent to Lysinthia City as support.

As for Fergus, he had already gone to the Emerald Dream Realm with Thundar of the cavalry regiment.

"Where did these things come from?"

"This is too savage!"

Slagor sucked in a cold breath, looking up at the Tidecrab Shield Warrior Clawpincher standing on his other side.

"Don't look at me. If it's only resisting for a short time, these Ocean Hunters can't harm me."

"But if besieged for a long time, no one could withstand it."

Clawpincher, however, didn't feel much. He actually felt a sense of affinity towards these Ocean Hunters, because his master Orion had personally fed them with his own blood.

"Elder Slagor, with this group of little things, your future exploration of the sea regions will be very convenient."

"Hehehe, that's true. If we encounter those clueless merfolk again and unleash these little things, the scene will definitely be wonderful."

"They're just too small; they still need to be cultivated for a while!"

"That's no problem. Orion has given us two months. During this time, we brothers will hunt more beasts to let them eat their fill."

"…"

In the distance, Orion handed some Pet Pills to Lysinthia, giving her some final instructions before parting.

"Mix these Pet Pills with beast corpses and feed them to the Ocean Hunters; it can increase their chances of evolution."

"And for the Giant Kelp Water Cannons, dissolve the Pet Pills in water and continuously irrigate them with it; this can promote their growth."
