The thought of obtaining countless Alpha-level crystal cores from the Bottomless Abyss had his heart racing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We'll wait for Rendall and Onyx to return, then discuss assigning an Alpha-level warrior to guard this place alongside Lorelia.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The candidate will be chosen from you, Rockwell, Onyx, or Rendall. Alternatively, we can rotate the responsibility.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Orion framed it as a discussion, his tone left no room for doubt—he had already made up his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the encounter with the black-armored salamander, it was clear that the creatures from the Bottomless Abyss were adept at biting, highly agile, massive in size, and often protected by scales or armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To deal with such Alpha-level monsters, Spider Queen Lorelia alone wasn't enough. A warrior capable of direct confrontation was essential to hold the line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thundar, for now, you'll stay here and guard this place. I'll coordinate with Lorelia to ensure everything runs smoothly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chieftain, rest assured. If any monsters climb up from the abyss, I'll sound the alarm immediately and ensure Lorelia's safety.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion nodded, giving Thundar an approving glance. He hadn't expected Thundar to be so perceptive, recognizing that Lorelia was one of the horde's most valuable assets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Satisfied, Orion gave a few more instructions to Lorelia before leaving the underground fissure with Lilith.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Any news from outside the city?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Orion patrolled the city walls, he turned to Delilah for an update.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No urgent reports yet, but the beasts in the surrounding areas of Blackstone City are clearly agitated. They're gradually converging in our direction.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chieftain, should we consider seeking help from Lord Gareth?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the mention of Gareth, Orion fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Delilah's suggestion stemmed from genuine concern. She was thinking ahead, worried about the unknown dangers the pink seed might attract.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had no idea how many beasts—or how powerful they might be—would be drawn to the seed's scent. To her, requesting aid from the Legendary-level Gareth seemed like the safest option.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Orion dismissed the idea outright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Besides, Gareth might not even help us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And even if she did, she wouldn't give it her all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"On top of that, do you realize what kind of price we'd have to pay to enlist the help of a Legendary-level warrior?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion's voice carried a hint of disdain. He had no fondness for Lord Gareth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for her Legendary-level strength, Orion would have killed her long ago and taken control of the Four Domains himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Gareth had indirectly contributed to Clymene's death. Continue your journey with empire\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And during the last southern invasion, Orion had seen through Gareth's true nature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To her, Orion, Soraya, and even Slagor were nothing more than disposable pawns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The invasion wasn't just a way to weaken Thunderwood Forest—it was also a calculated move to drain the resources of the Four Domains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her actions revealed her true intentions: Gareth wasn't as magnanimous as she appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion understood Delilah's concerns. She was worried the horde might provoke an enemy they couldn't handle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Orion turned, and Delilah, caught off guard, stumbled into his arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wrapped his arms around her waist, holding her close.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Delilah struggled briefly but couldn't break free. She ended up leaning against Orion's chest, her face pressed against him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll let you in on a secret,\" Orion said softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even if a Legendary-level warrior were to descend upon Blackstone City, I have the strength to defeat them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So don't worry. Focus on managing the situation. If stronger enemies appear, I'll deal with them myself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His confident, heroic words left Delilah utterly captivated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faced with the seductive and alluring Delilah, Orion's desires began to stir.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're truly irresistible,\" he murmured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Delilah's ever-present smile, combined with her ability to both solve problems and satisfy desires, made her impossible to resist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion, overcome by her charm, couldn't hold back any longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Poison Dragon Swamp – Lizardmen Settlement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a wooden hut, Slagor was in the middle of an intimate moment with a female lizardman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chieftain, something's wrong!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A panicked voice interrupted, causing Slagor to shudder. His arousal vanished instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it! If you don't have a good reason for interrupting me, I'll kill you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slagor pulled up his pants, grabbed his sword, and stormed out of the hut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chieftain, it's the swamp crocodiles! They've gone mad and are heading west!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mad? It's mating season. There's probably a female crocodile over there. What kind of excuse is that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slagor's frustration only grew as he listened to the report.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, it's different this time! This isn't normal mating behavior!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Several swamp crocodiles have already crossed into the Barren Mountains and are heading toward the Black Forest!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Slagor's expression darkened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What did you just say? Repeat that!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chieftain, several swamp crocodiles have crossed into the Barren Mountains and are heading toward the Black Forest!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I suspect something major is happening in the Black Forest. Either that, or…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lizardman hesitated, trailing off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Or what?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slagor slapped the lizardman on the head, nearly knocking him over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Or Blackstone City's warriors are using some kind of pheromone-based magical plants to lure beasts for mass hunting!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slagor fell silent, leaning on his sword as he gazed toward the Black Forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The idea wasn't far-fetched. With Blackstone City's large population and countless spiderlings, it made sense for Orion to stockpile food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine. Your explanation is convincing enough. I won't punish you for interrupting me during sex.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But keep an eye on the swamp crocodiles. Don't let any more head west!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And as for the ones that already escaped, deny they were ever ours. Understand?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Chieftain! I understand!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good. Now get out of here. Watch the crocodiles, and later, go see the elder for a reward. He'll assign you a female lizardman.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lizardman's face lit up with excitement as he scurried away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Northern Abyssal Chasm – A Fiend Serpent Lair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lair was a writhing mass of fiend serpents, their bodies tangled together in a scene that would terrify anyone with a fear of snakes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air was thick with a nauseating scent—a pheromone released by the female serpents to trigger mating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a strange fragrance wafted into the lair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The serpents froze, their movements halting as if someone had pressed pause.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, chaos erupted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The serpents abandoned their mating frenzy and began slithering out of the lair, driven by an uncontrollable urge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the depths of the lair, massive serpents emerged, each one Hero-level in strength. Their numbers were staggering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What kind of scent could make the serpents abandon mating in this season?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A thin figure stepped out of the shadows, muttering to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Ridi, one of Lord Gareth's most trusted subordinates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the southern invasion, it had been Ridi who ambushed Orion at the gathering point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fiend serpent lair was one of Gareth's cannon fodder troops, housing over 200,000 serpents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most were below elite level, but their sheer numbers made them formidable as disposable soldiers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I need to see what's causing this commotion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ridi had no intention of reporting the incident to Gareth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his mind, nothing in the Four Domains could defy Gareth's authority—or his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And so, Ridi let the serpents head south, following them closely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Western Desert – Scorpion Tribe Territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scorpion tribe's countless young scorpions were also in a frenzy, their tails twitching and creating waves of sand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Enough!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From her throne in the underground palace, Soraya let out a roar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A wave of invisible energy spread outward, instantly calming the scorpions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your Majesty, has something happened in the Black Forest?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why are the scorpions so agitated?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>High Priestess Selenis asked, her own giant scorpion mount also showing signs of restlessness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There's a scent coming from the Black Forest. It's similar to pheromone-based magical plants, which is likely causing the agitation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soraya frowned, gazing toward the Black Forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your Majesty, could Orion be luring beasts to stockpile food for the winter?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Possibly. With so many people and spiderlings, they must be running low on supplies.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But isn't he afraid of triggering a massive beast tide?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soraya didn't respond immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long pause, she finally spoke, her tone uncertain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With so many powerful warriors, perhaps they're deliberately hunting a beast tide.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's… insane!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Southern Thunderwood Forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Near the border with the Black Forest, countless beasts were drawn northward by the strange fragrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The harpy tribe, stationed in the area, noticed the unusual migration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But instead of intervening, they welcomed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go on, go north.
