How could you possibly be a fool?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion shook his head. For the sake of a bag of materials, his attitude towards Lolth softened considerably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Giant King, you might as well say our Emerald Dream Realm is about to face a great flood or a massive tsunami. That would be more direct.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His lie exposed, Orion didn't feel awkward at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, he continued to gaze at Lolth on the other side of the void passage, his eyes filled with even more anticipation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, another spider silk bag was teleported over, and Orion immediately broke into a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Giant King, I am sincere, but I also have the ability to discern lies.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief silence, Orion continued his spiel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Perhaps it will be a tsunami, or maybe an earthquake, or it could be endless darkness and evil.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are too insignificant to resist it at all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These words were now half-truth, half-falsehood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, they were still somewhat vague.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dream Queen Lolth, after hearing this, fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the other end of the void passage was once again shrouded in mist, and supernatural energies surged frequently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Evidently, Lolth had cut off the conversation with Orion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Endless darkness… impossible to resist…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He doesn't seem to be lying.

Is that your fiefdom?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden explained briefly, not elaborating on his experiences.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After numerous battles, Earthshaker, Gronthar, Drakthul, Arden, and Selenis had developed some camaraderie and gotten to know each other a bit, especially the latter two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not exactly, it's more like the fiefdom of all buffalofolk.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But it doesn't make much difference; we buffalofolk already consider it our homeland.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking of Buffalofolk City, Earthshaker was very proud and felt a great sense of honor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Currently, in the Stoneheart Horde, only a few tribes have their own cities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don't need to worry, and there's no need to make yourself uncomfortable over it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Our lord isn't as petty as you think.

Not only has our strength increased, but we also hold high positions and wield power within the horde.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earthshaker took the roasted meat Drakthul handed him, tore off a piece, and stuffed it into his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a few rough chews, Earthshaker continued to reassure Arden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you could be the messenger for the Lord of the Four Domains, you can be the messenger for the Giant King.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Speaking of which, Orion doesn't really have a public messenger, does he?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gronthar and Drakthul both shook their heads; the Stoneheart Horde truly didn't have a messenger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most intelligence transmission was handled entirely by Delilah and the Sentinel Corps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Has any news come back from the Storm Vulture?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mentioning messengers made everyone think of Arden's Storm Vulture, and also of their current situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, it's dark out. The Storm Vulture's vision is reduced, so its patrol speed will be slower.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone shifted the topic from messengers to intelligence, allowing Arden to breathe a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden took Earthshaker's recent suggestion to heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You see, back then, in Arden's eyes, Earthshaker was still an unknown entity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earthshaker's strength was practically the greatest among the five of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden was originally an Alpha-level being; he too wanted to become stronger, even advance to the legendary level and attain the status of a lord.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Arden began to have some thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To the south, about 17.5 miles away, a large valley has been discovered. A pack of hyenas inhabits it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, a hoarse and lifeless voice sounded in their ears, causing Earthshaker, Gronthar, Drakthul, Arden, and Selenis to all stand up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the darkness, a necromancer, leaning upon a staff, slowly approached them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Mortimer, good to see you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Drakthul the giant spoke. In this team, he was the leader; the decision-making power rested with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A pack of hyenas has been found to the south. Most of them are in a deep sleep. That valley... it's a pretty good burial ground.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Necromancer Mortimer mentioned 'burial ground,' the expressions of Earthshaker, Gronthar, and Drakthul turned serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before setting out, Orion had given them some instructions, and an important one concerned burial grounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Burial grounds were dead lands for summoning and nurturing skeleton warriors, crucial for their invading contingent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Orion hadn't told the three that the burial grounds were also being prepared for subsequent invasion operations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wake up the men! We move out now and raid the hyenas' lair.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Drakthul issued the command, and soon, the sleeping bloodline warriors were all awakened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the cover of three venomous Lesser Dragons and one Storm Vulture, the group advanced in the darkness towards the valley where the hyena pack dwelled.\u003C\u002Fp>",1183,"2026-05-29T15:49:28.616Z","2026-06-01T04:29:39.741Z",1,"novelbin.me","8b9af0e5ab531829bd53f977281cf63d57c940e00414756c276bf560e2738c18","titan-king-ascension-of-the-giant-chapter-621","titan-king-ascension-of-the-giant-chapter-619",1606,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ftitan-king-ascension-of-the-giant-cover.jpg"]
