Titan King: Ascension of the Giant

However, Lireesa didn't offer any pointers, because the Elf King also needed opportunities to grow.

And the Giant King sitting opposite him was the best object of study and comparison.

"However, based on the intelligence we obtained from the human kingdom and the blood elf race's historical records regarding the Sea Race, we have made a prediction."

Grand Elder Lireesa took over from the Elf King, leading to the information she wanted to tell Orion.

"What prediction?"

This was Grand Elder Lireesa's astuteness; some things, when said proactively by oneself versus having the other party ask, achieved different effects and established different relative statuses.

In response to Orion's inquiry, Lireesa feigned deep thought, as if considering or organizing her words.

But the atmosphere, within these few seconds of her contemplation, became much more grave and serious.

"War is about to break out!"

"A war between us and the Sea Race!"

Orion was silent. He certainly understood that "us" here referred to their Five-Race Alliance, meaning all races on the continent whose territories bordered the sea.

"What will cause the war?"

Orion pressed further. Regarding the blood elf race's prediction, the Stoneheart Horde also had similar speculations.

However, the Stoneheart Horde wasn't as certain as the blood elf race.

The main reason was that the Stoneheart Horde had been in the south for too short a time and clearly lacked historical depth.

Many records and secrets about major events in the southern region were completely blank to them.

"Because of territorial disputes. Over ten thousand years ago, this entire continent was the dragon race's territory."

"Later, the human race came across the sea and sealed that arch lord-level white dragon."

"To fight against the other foreign tribes on the continent, the humans allied with the dwarves and blood elves, drove the foreign tribes to the north, and occupied the most fertile south."

"This is also why the human kingdom has always been the dominant power on the continent; they are much stronger than we imagine."

It seemed this history had no connection to the Sea Race, but Orion listened very attentively.

"Now that powerful white dragon has returned, the dragon race definitely wants to reclaim their former territory."

"However, with us other four races united, the dragon race will have a very difficult time."

From this point, Grand Elder Lireesa's voice became slightly lower, because the blood elf race was severely battered during this period.

Their previous Elf King was killed by the white dragon Frostsire.

"Under these circumstances, the dragon race can only set its sights on the sea regions."

"Unlike us land-based races, the dragon race has no such limitations as sea, land, or air."

"The dragon race and the Sea Race will definitely go to war."

"And the dragon race will surely want to drag us into this war."

Grand Elder Lireesa looked up, directly at Orion, and said word by word.

"Giant King Orion, for peace, for our people to have a stable life, we must reach a consensus, we must have a unified opinion."

"The blood elves do not need war!"

Orion nodded, met the gaze of this wise elf, and gave the same response.

"The Stoneheart Horde does not need war either!"

Grand Elder Lireesa nodded, a gratified smile appearing on her face. Elf King Rommath beside her, seeing they had reached an agreement, also breathed a sigh of relief.

The blood elves' territory on land bordered the giant territory to the north, the human kingdom to the east, the dragon race territory to the south, and the sea region to the west. Such surrounding environs made it extremely easy to be dragged into war.

Now that the giants and blood elves were in agreement, the two races signing a peace treaty afterwards would be a logical consequence.

In this way, the blood elves would have some relief in the north.

"Giant King Orion, the blood elf race is willing to further deepen its trade relations with the Stoneheart Horde. This is our needs list for the last three years; I believe you will be interested."

After discussing the important matters, Grand Elder Lireesa shifted the topic to trade, attempting to ease the atmosphere a bit.

Orion took the list Lireesa pushed over and also sent over the Stoneheart Horde's purchase list.

This kind of thing, Delilah had already prepared it before he came.

Orion's visit this time wasn't just to discuss matters concerning the dragon race; more importantly, it was to handle the trade relations and past diplomatic frictions between the Stoneheart Horde and the Blood Elves.

The Stoneheart Horde's and the blood elf race's territories were adjacent. Along the border, various unauthorized crossings and racial migrations occurred from time to time.

Orion came this time to resolve all these matters outright and lighten Delilah's burden.

For these minor matters, Orion stayed in the City of Blessings for another three days before traveling together with Grand Elder Lireesa towards the dragon race territory.

Emerald Dream Realm, Red Moon Valley, Lorelia City.

After the cross-realm invasion ended, Lumi walked out of the cavern where the cross-realm teleportation array was located.

At this moment, the Red Moon Valley area was still a vast expanse frozen for thousands of miles, with snow drifting for tens of thousands.

Lumi, dressed in white, stood on a section of Red Moon Valley's city wall, bathed in the wind and snow, gazing into the distance.

"Lumi, why do you think Master hasn't descended here yet?"

Lorelia, enduring the cold, climbed the city wall, came to Lumi's side, and imitated her by looking into the distance.

Unfortunately, Lorelia's quick-darting red eyes, no matter how she imitated, couldn't replicate Lumi's unique temperament.

"Either the timing isn't right, or he's been delayed by something."

Lumi turned, glanced at Lorelia, and could feel that Orion really liked this little girl.

Orion's gaze towards Lorelia was like looking at a dotingly regarded junior.

It was just that, in Lumi's eyes, this little girl was a spider queen with a particularly active and agile mind.

"Those newly born subjects of mine are all crying out in hunger. I don't know how long we have to wait."

Lorelia was lying. For this invasion, Orion had specially transferred her over and stuffed her with a huge amount of supplies.

Rather than her subjects being hungry, it was more that Lorelia had grown impatient staying in Red Moon Valley and couldn't wait to go out and see this brand new world.

"You should be thinking about how to advance to Legendary level now."

Lumi gazed into the distance, not knowing what she herself was looking at.

It was just that every time Lorelia mentioned Orion, an inexplicable anticipation and joy would arise in Lumi's heart.

"Hehe... Lumi, did you also notice I've advanced to Alpha peak?"

To be honest, Lorelia was a little smug. She had endured the cold to come here because, deep down, she just wanted someone to praise her and satisfy her little bit of vanity.

"If Master were here, he would definitely praise Lorelia as the most talented Spider Queen."

Lorelia squinted her eyes, her heart filled with joy.

Although she didn't get Orion's praise, Lumi mentioning this also made her very happy.

Ever since descending into the Emerald Dream Realm, Lorelia had found that her strength was increasing much faster than before.

She felt that the air was permeated with a power that was constantly making her stronger.

"Lumi, Lorelia will watch the distant drifting snow with you, and the clouds that Master also likes..."
