Titan King: Ascension of the Giant
Chapter 713 - 713: They're simply too dreadful

Orion showed no emotion. Observing Gustalon's state, he granted him a period of freedom.

Gustalon had been running around non-stop recently, incredibly busy. Orion hoped this brief period of freedom would allow him to calm his mind and advance.

"I don't fully understand wind. The wind I comprehend comes from breath, from cold and heat, from sound, and also from life and death."

Gustalon looked up, gazing at Orion with surprise and uncertainty.

However, after uttering this enigmatic sentence, Orion said no more, clearly having no intention of explaining.

Ultimately, Gustalon, still harboring doubts, vanished into the wind.

"Another elemental life form. Your ranks are quite full of talent, I see!" Leonidas teased Orion. He could, of course, tell that Orion was guiding Gustalon.

As a being at the peak of the Legendary level, Orion possessed a profound understanding of transcendent power and had fought against numerous lords who specialized in wind-based transcendent power.

Orion's comprehension of wind might not be deeper than Gustalon's, but it was undoubtedly far broader.

"Who knows if this fellow can advance in a short time," Orion mused. "If he succeeds, we'll have another helper."

"Hehe, you're right about that."

Leonidas glanced in the direction Gustalon had disappeared, then looked towards the distant horizon.

"The situation isn't looking good. Next, we should be facing that Arch Lord."

Leonidas gazed northwards, a mixture of excitement and killing intent flickering in his eyes.

The Nethervarg Soulflayers migrating north revealed a great deal of information.

Firstly, the awakened Arch Lord had definitely detected Leonidas and Orion's invasion.

The Nethervarg Soulflayers moving north was a clear sign of them concentrating their forces in preparation for a full-scale war.

Secondly, the Nethervarg Soulflayers' northward move towards Marshlight Sanctuary strongly suggested the Arch Lord was based there, likely the Hellhound Knight.

Lastly, with the Nethervarg Soulflayers relocating, Orion and Leonidas's plan to diminish the enemy's combat strength had directly fallen through.

"Bro, let's speed up our northward advance and try to initiate the war before their forces have fully assembled," Leonidas said, withdrawing his gaze from the distant horizon, his voice firm with resolution.

"Good. Your proposal aligns perfectly with my own thoughts."

Their opinions and objectives aligned, Orion and Leonidas quickened their pace.

Subsequently, the wyvern armies flew out first, clearing all dark creatures encountered on the path ahead, paving the way for the cave spider armies and undead armies.

...

Titanion Realm, Northern Lysinthia City.

Waves crashed against the hard stones of the harbor, shattering into countless tiny droplets.

The dilapidated port had been rebuilt, now larger and more robust than before.

The sea breeze lifted Lysinthia's hair; Lysinthia's beauty remained as icy as ever.

If Lysinthia's beauty was cold, then the Ocean Hunters reflected in her eyes were the epitome of frenzy and savagery.

Clawpincher and Slagor stood aboard the Sea-Devouring Warship, directing bloodline warriors to dump beast corpses and magical plant nutrient solutions into Mist Bay.

The Ocean Hunters' teeth were indeed incredibly sharp; they were innately brutal, bloodthirsty, frenzied, and seemingly mindless.

No matter what beast fell into the seawater, it would immediately be torn into a bloody, mangled mess by the Ocean Hunters.

The sight of the Ocean Hunters feeding was exceptionally wild, enough to make one's scalp tingle.

"By the Titan God, where did Orion get these terrifying creatures?"

"They're simply too dreadful!!"

Slagor, watching the Ocean Hunters swimming in the water, gained a new appreciation for this terrifying unit.

It was important to note that under Lysinthia's initial guidance, only a little over twenty thousand Ocean Hunters had hatched.

After a period of nurturing, the Ocean Hunters began to reproduce even before reaching full maturity.

These egg-laying fish were not difficult to breed at all; astonishingly, they could reproduce six times a year, averaging once every two months.

Crucially, the females each laid between three thousand to five thousand eggs every time.

This terrifying reproduction rate had caused the number of Ocean Hunters to swell to a level Slagor found unimaginable within just the past two months.

"These things are too savage!"

"They can feed themselves as soon as they hatch and grow extremely fast," Clawpincher noted, incredibly envious of the Ocean Hunters' reproduction speed.

Compared to the Ocean Hunters, his Tidecrab Shield Warriors were simply not in the same league.

Just as Clawpincher and Slagor were feeding the Ocean Hunters, signal smoke rose at the mouth of Mist Bay, and a battle horn sounded at that very moment.

"What happened?"

"Don't know. Let's go check it out together."

Just then, Lysinthia swiftly moved across the water's surface, landing on the Sea-Devouring Warship.

"A group of Sea Race warriors has appeared at the bay's mouth. They are fully armed and clearly hostile."

Lysinthia had received the intelligence first because she had preemptively placed some Ocean Hunters outside Mist Bay to act as her eyes.

"Sea Race? From the Tidefang Clan?" Slagor was puzzled. Wasn't Orion said to be discussing an alliance between their two factions with the Tidefang Clan? Why would a Sea Race group approach Mist Bay at this time?

"There are no Tidefang Clan members among those Sea Race warriors. They are likely vassals of the Tidefang Clan in this sea region."

This was Lysinthia's speculation. After all, Orion had only just returned the Tidefang Clan's mermaid princess; it was unlikely the Tidefang Clan would stir up trouble at this juncture.

"Elder Lysinthia, the appearance of these Sea Race warriors probably isn't a good sign," Slagor said.

"Hmm… What are you trying to say?"

Slagor fell silent for a moment, then said with some uncertainty, "I suspect the appearance of these Sea Race warriors is somehow related to the Tidefang Clan."

"Because in previous battles, Merfolk from the nearby waters have attacked us; they are aware of Lysinthia City's defensive strength."

"Under normal circumstances, the sea race from nearby waters wouldn't attack again."

The more Slagor spoke, the smoother his reasoning became, and his thoughts began to race.

"The departure of the mermaid princess and her fourth brother should, at the very least, have bought us a period of peace."

"For sea race to attack again now, does it mean that the mermaid princess and her fourth brother didn't convey our Stoneheart Horde's desire for an alliance?"

"Or perhaps, the Tidefang Clan rejected our alliance?"

"Is it possible that an opposing faction within the Tidefang Clan bypassed the princess and her brother and dispatched troops here?"

Slagor's analysis held some merit, and Lysinthia found herself agreeing.

However, now was not the time to discuss this matter.

"No matter who sent these sea race warriors, they have violated our territory and shown no respect to our Stoneheart Horde."

"This is a perfect opportunity to test the true combat strength of our Ocean Hunters."

"Everyone, conquering this sea region is our goal. I want to offer this sea region to our great master."
