All of them were at the peak of Hero level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rowena could command them, and they possessed sufficient capability to assist mother and child.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As you command, Madam!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Late at night, Rowena and her son traveled under the cover of darkness, continuing their flight north.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>South, Stoneheart City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the third floor of the Mysterious Tavern, Delilah stared blankly at the intelligence report in her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rose Manor, a royal estate located in the southern part of the Human Kingdom, was one of the kingdom's top ten manors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its mistress was Princess Ava of the Human Kingdom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One day prior, Princess Ava had given birth to a son at Rose Manor, and that infant bore some resemblance to a giant tribe cub.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Calculating the dates, Princess Ava must have conceived while in Stoneheart City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This... this... she's too lucky!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Initially, Delilah couldn't believe the intelligence she was seeing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, slowly, Delilah's disbelief transformed into sour envy and jealousy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She thought of the twin royalty of her Succubus race, who had exhausted countless methods, mobilized vast manpower, and attempted innumerable secret techniques just to successfully conceive Orion's offspring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unexpectedly, that human woman, treated almost like a plaything, had conceived just like that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Delilah felt struck, deeply struck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Princess Ava's conception was like a thunderbolt from a clear sky, leaving Delilah unable to reconcile it for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Were my sister and I not trying hard enough?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do we need more positions and variations next time we make love?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why did it happen like this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Delilah was lost in thought, an even more troublesome idea surfaced in her mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to the current date, the child Princess Ava gave birth to would count as Orion's firstborn son.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a problem Delilah suddenly realized, and it made her scalp tingle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the future, a power struggle between the firstborn and secondborn sons, a bloody storm, seemed to be brewing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this thought, Delilah's breathing even quickened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No... wait, there's still a chance. That child, he was born in the Human Kingdom.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whereas Lilith's child will be born in the Stoneheart Horde. He is the legitimate one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We hold the advantage from the start!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lilith's child involves not just the Succubus tribe, but also the Giant tribe. Even the entire Stoneheart Horde stands behind him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As for the human princess's child, he definitely won't receive the Horde's support.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A series of thoughts flashed through Delilah's mind. She had to think this way because these matters would soon become reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What should I do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Should I inform Lilith of this news?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Delilah hesitated. Lilith's due date was still some time away; she worried that if the news got out, Lilith might let her thoughts run wild.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then there was Orion; he had personally provided the intelligence about Rose Manor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Delilah truly wanted to suppress this news, not even telling Orion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, reason told Delilah she couldn't do that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Has Orion already received word beforehand?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lizardfolk territory. While Delilah was in turmoil, Orion and Theodore were dividing the spoils of war.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the lizardfolk territory, they had harvested a great many crystal cores, minerals, and magical plants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion wasn't reserved; he took the larger share of all spoils.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding the division of spoils, Prince Theodore raised no objections.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed that after Orion displayed his Legendary level peak strength, Prince Theodore had lost all resistance to any of Orion's ideas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion eyed Prince Theodore with some suspicion. The man wasn't in a good state; he seemed preoccupied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your Highness, do you feel the division of spoils is unfair?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prince Theodore shook his head, denying Orion's suggestion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Giant King Orion, you were the one who exerted strength to kill the enemies this time. Whatever you want is not excessive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Being able to reclaim the lizardfolk territory is the greatest gain for us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the truth. With the lizardfolk territory returning to the Human Kingdom, a large number of nobles would receive fiefdoms as a result, and Prince Theodore's prestige would rise significantly again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This way, when the old king abdicated, more nobles would support Prince Theodore's ascension to the throne.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, this new territory would also bring countless riches and benefits to Prince Theodore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha... the Insectoid territory is too big! We ogres can't swallow it all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Friend, I've decided. The territory bordering yours, I will cede a portion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this war, Aldous had vented his anger and reclaimed his former territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, Lokiviria's entire territory would now belong to the Ogre race.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a vast territory, difficult for the Ogre race to manage completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Aldous had an idea: cede the portion connecting to the Stoneheart Horde to Orion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This way, the Ogre Tribe provided benefits to the Stoneheart Horde, and the friendship between the two races would deepen further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, it was Aldous who had requested Orion's intervention this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Setting aside friendship, Orion's action deserved reciprocation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was Aldous's thinking, and also his wisdom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aldous understood clearly that friendship and alliances were, to a large extent, intertwined with interests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, doing so had an even greater advantage: the territories of the Stoneheart Horde and the Ogre Tribe would have a larger shared border.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the Ogre Tribe were invaded, the Stoneheart Horde would also be affected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that point, invaders would face the combined forces of the Ogres and the Stoneheart Horde.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this was Aldous's clever calculation!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aldous, we are friends. You don't need to do this!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion spoke up. He understood Aldous's meaning and greatly appreciated his gesture and wisdom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because doing so would make the alliance between the Ogre race and the Stoneheart Horde even more solid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It must be done! In this joint operation of three races, only the Stoneheart Horde didn't gain territory. That's not fair.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aldous was very insistent. After pondering for a moment, Orion nodded in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Subsequently, Prince Theodore spoke up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The portion of territory Lord Bluehide has lost [by ceding it], I am willing to compensate with the northern part of the lizardfolk territory.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This way, the territories of our three races can be considered tightly linked together.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Allies should look out for each other, shouldn't they?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1049,"2026-05-29T15:49:28.191Z","2026-06-01T04:29:39.741Z",1,"novelbin.me","ff1e6810830aef63b3add4ac5f3c3250895125f6a4150a5312337ebafaa84a42","titan-king-ascension-of-the-giant-chapter-584","titan-king-ascension-of-the-giant-chapter-582",1606,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ftitan-king-ascension-of-the-giant-cover.jpg"]
