Titan King: Ascension of the Giant

A full month later, the kinsmen preparing to relocate to the Emerald Dream Realm had all arrived in Blackstone City, bringing a touch of liveliness to the usually quiet northern strategic city.

In the meeting hall of the Horde Hall, Orion sat upon the throne, with Rendall, Dirtclaw, Vespera, and Gurnar standing below.

Giants, Succubi, Gnolls, and Fiend Serpents were the main races for this relocation.

As for why these particular races? It was because they were better suited to survive in that world's environment.

Of course, among the relocating crowd, there were also some beastfolk; they were merely test subjects.

If these test subjects could prove that Beastfolk could also thrive in the Emerald Dream Realm, the second wave of relocations would focus on the beastfolk race.

"After you arrive, you will follow Warden Lumi's arrangements."

"If you encounter difficulties, report them directly to her; she will help you resolve them."

Before this group departed, Orion was giving his final instructions.

Orion did not intend to return to the Emerald Dream Realm this time. With Leonidas stationed there and no major battles planned for the near future, Orion intended to first deal with the accumulated problems within the Stoneheart Horde.

Furthermore, it wasn't good for Orion to be constantly absent from the Horde and not show his face regularly.

This impacted Orion's prestige and faith energy collection.

"You are all veterans of the Horde. The primary tasks for this relocation of kinsmen are to adapt to the environment and increase your numbers."

"The secondary tasks are to excavate rare resources on the continent—minerals, magical plants, beasts… No task is to be neglected."

Orion spoke in detail, outlining what everyone needed to do, making their objectives clear.

"Dirtclaw, after you settle the Gnoll race, return to the northern front line."

"As you command, My lord!"

Dirtclaw was respectful and very excited.

Once his kinsmen were relocated, the territory Orion had promised him would be enfeoffed.

Previously, Orion had also granted territory to the Gnoll race—one of the ten major cities in the southern territory.

In reality, such a territory was only a nominal enfeoffment; members of the Giant Tribe still managed the city.

However, the territory enfeoffed this time was completely different.

The Emerald Dream Realm was vast, and the Horde still had many unexplored areas within the lands they had conquered.

For the territories granted this time, various races would have a certain degree of autonomy.

This was mainly because the Emerald Dream Realm harbored many dark creatures. If these enfeoffed groups lacked agility and flexibility, they would find it difficult to adapt to the Emerald Dream Realm's environment.

Vast lands, a territory of his own—Dirtclaw had certainly fantasized about it.

It was just that when the dream became reality, Dirtclaw was ecstatic and filled with longing; he had been in this state of excitement for over a month.

The day after the instructions were given, the group, led by Rendall, headed to the Underworld, preparing to use the teleportation array to descend upon the Emerald Dream Realm.

As for Orion, after entrusting the affairs of Blackstone City to Earthshaker, he used an intra-realm teleportation array to return to Stoneheart City in the south.

Stoneheart City was as bustling as ever.

Orion walked out of the military barracks; Lilith was waiting outside, holding Pallas.

Clearly, Lilith had known in advance about Orion's return.

"Daddy!"

Orion took Pallas, placed the little one on his shoulders, and let the child grab his ears, surveying the familiar Stoneheart City from this new height.

Although Pallas was only a little over a year old, he had grown considerably, almost catching up to the size of his adopted daughter, Elara.

"My dear!"

Lilith smiled gently and called out softly.

"I'm very happy to see you both!"

Orion reached out to embrace Lilith and kissed her passionately. Then, with Lilith taking his arm, the family of three walked unhurriedly towards the castle like ordinary pedestrians.

Along the way, everyone in the inner city who saw Orion and Lilith stopped and bowed in respect.

After Orion had passed, the crowd would erupt in earth-shattering cheers.

"It's the Giant King!"

"And the Queen!"

"And His Highness the Prince!"

…

Having experienced life and death, Orion felt a greater sense of composure when facing these familiar yet somewhat distant faces.

These were all his subjects, people living under his protection.

For Orion to achieve the Archlord rank, he needed tens of millions of such kinsmen and endless faith energy.

Orion loved his kinsmen, his subjects, and wished for them to live better lives.

A fatherly smile appeared on Orion's face. Such a smile made the people bowing to him feel a warmth, as if their very souls were soothed.

Lilith tilted her head, studying the expression on her husband's face. It was an expression she had never seen before; she couldn't describe the feeling.

Even after entering the castle, Lilith was still observing Orion.

"Is there something on my face?"

"A smile!"

"Is it not normal?"

"It's normal!"

"Then what are you looking at?"

"Orion, the way the people look at you has changed somewhat."

"How has it changed?"

"Besides awe, there's also a kind of adoration."

Orion lifted Pallas from his shoulders and handed him to the succubus maidservants behind them.

Immediately after, Orion swept Lilith up by her waist and strode quickly towards their bedroom deep within the castle.

Soon, the sounds of bodies colliding and Lilith's moans emanated from the room.

A troop of succubus maidservants stood guard outside. Hearing the sounds from within, their panties unknowingly became wet, their thighs rubbing together.

Afterward, the maidservants couldn't bear it any longer; they took Pallas to get something to eat.

It wasn't until noon the next day that Orion stopped. Their lovemaking this time had actually lasted for nearly ten hours!

"How does it feel?"

Orion held Lilith, who was nestled against his chest, and asked her thoughts on managing the Horde.

"It's overwhelming. My sister manages the Horde so methodically; it's very hard work, truly not easy."

Orion reached out, playing with Lilith's nipple, but his mind was on Delilah.

Power is a very tempting thing.

If you love power, you will definitely become addicted to it.

If you don't love something, you can't do it best, nor will you sit securely in a position of power.

If Delilah were lying in Orion's arms at this moment, she would immediately understand that Orion was talking about her, and it was also his assessment of her.

Delilah's preferences were simple: power.

For power, Delilah could have an affair with Orion, could contribute everything of value she possessed.

And Orion, as it happened, was a master who liked to delegate power, which suited Delilah perfectly.

Therefore, when Delilah and Orion were together, they were intense, wild, and mutually complementary.
