We're a third party invading secretly; we need to keep a low profile.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leonidas: \"When the Deputy Commander intervenes in the battle and reveals our identity, that's when it'll be time for us to steamroll all enemies.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leonidas: \"Listen to me, what we need to do now is secretly plunder the resources of the Emerald Dream Realm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the Deputy Commander made his suggestion, Leonidas also shared some invasion experiences with Orion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When it came to invading a large world, Leonidas, Alexander, and Edward understood the rhythm and timing better than Orion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alexander: \"Invading another world isn't something that can be solved by brute force alone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alexander: \"The current situation, intelligence gathering, target benefits, invasion plans... none of these can be missing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alexander: \"Most critically, we still need a demigod powerhouse to rely on; otherwise, even an arch lord going there would just be courting death.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following Leonidas, Alexander also shared some of his experiences.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the entire team, Orion, Kraken, and Isabella were extremely lacking in experience in this regard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leonidas's and Alexander's few words greatly benefited Orion, making him understand that invading another world required a lot of preparation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isabella: \"I have a bit of a problem on my end. Food, medicine, and troop sources might be in short supply.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking of invasion, when it came to serious matters, Isabella didn't dare to hide anything and revealed her shortcomings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Isabella had an arch lord-level father, her father didn't just have her as a daughter; he had many offspring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Isabella's world, the supplies she could get her hands on weren't very plentiful, not enough to support a war of indefinite duration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Edward: \"Food, equipment, medicine, weapons, and other related supplies—you all should prepare more of these in the next three months.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding basic war supplies, the Deputy Commander gave a comprehensive reminder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deputy Commander Edward didn't offer to support Isabella because such basic supplies weren't an issue for a Legendary level being.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With so many goods on the Survivor's Platform, spending some time searching would definitely yield results.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Edward: \"Also, the Emerald Dream Realm has an evil dark aura. You'll need to periodically dispel the evil elements from your bodies, so prepare more dispelling-type treasures and spells.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Deputy Commander continued to speak, and everyone listened attentively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Edward: \"Speaking of the dark aura, I have a suggestion for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Edward: \"The Emerald Dream Realm can slowly transform a creature's attributes. If the aptitude and potential of your subordinates are average, you can try letting them transform into dark creatures.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Edward: \"To be honest, the environment of the Emerald Dream Realm is quite suitable for dark-attribute species to survive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Edward: \"Of course, after transformation, purification is necessary, or they could easily become servants of that evil being.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be honest, this suggestion from the Deputy Commander made Orion's heart beat a little faster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The potential of the Stoneheart Horde's older generation of powerhouses had been almost completely exhausted; it was extremely difficult for them to continue growing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with Orion favoring them with resources, there still wouldn't be much change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, the two senior elders, Rendall and Thundar, received no fewer resources than Onyx and Delilah.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, they had all encountered bottlenecks and were stuck at the Alpha-level late, unable to reach Alpha-level peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the most obvious manifestation of talent and potential being exhausted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only that, but the guards Dace, Otho, Beyn, and Torba were also successively stuck in the mid and late Alpha stages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within Orion's own giant clan, not a single one had managed to advance to Alpha peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking about it in detail, Orion also felt somewhat regretful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, the Deputy Commander's suggestion gave Orion an idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This might perhaps be a way out for the Arch Elder and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kraken: \"I don't have grain, but I can provide everyone with various types of fish.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking of grain, Kraken wasn't short at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kraken's food supply consisted mainly of fish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, no one asked Kraken for it in the public channel, not even Isabella.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because at this moment, Isabella had received a private message from Alexander.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don't need to worry about supplies. For this invasion of the Emerald Dream Realm, what you need to do is improve your strength and gain combat experience.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isabella was very self-aware; she obediently replied, 'Understood.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From this discussion, Isabella could see that the gap between her and the others was enormous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Needless to say about Leonidas and Alexander; those two were powerhouses who had stepped into arch lord peak long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Hulk and Kraken were not people she could compare to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding Kraken, Isabella had no thought of comparison at all, because the former was a Sea Race creature; they weren't comparable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Hulk, just Soraya residing in Soraya City and the million small scorpions made Isabella extremely envious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she had a subordinate like Soraya, let alone sweeping away fungal creatures, she would even dare to return and invade her current world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Edward: \"Let's leave it at that. If any problems arise, don't keep them to yourselves; speak up in the channel.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Edward: \"The difficulties you encounter might just be trivial matters in others' eyes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stoneheart City, the Colosseum. Orion slowly opened his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time in the Colosseum, the first duel had already ended. Appearing in the arena was a lizardfolk. This was a creature that could transform into a large lizard mount.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The lizardfolk are highly sought after!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For a lizard mount, many people have sent me gifts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not just humans and dwarves, but also some of our Stoneheart Horde clansmen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At some unknown time, Delilah had come up behind Orion. Gazing at the lizardfolk in the arena, she sighed with some emotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion glanced at Lilith playing with Pallas nearby, and at Kitsune Sylvana, who was listening with pricked ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying nothing, moving nothing, Orion continued to keep his gaze on the Colosseum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is there news?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Delilah coming here at this time definitely meant that the humans, blood elves, or dwarves had relayed intelligence regarding the dragon race.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Grand Duke Richard of the human kingdom completed a trade with us and asked if you would personally go to Whitecliff.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Grand Elder Lireesa of the blood elf race sent an invitation, hoping to travel with you to the dragon race territory.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The attitude of the humans and blood elves is very consistent; they want to reach an agreement with us on certain matters.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion narrowed his eyes slightly but didn't respond to Delilah.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The intelligence Delilah brought made him have to ponder what position the Stoneheart Horde would be in at the upcoming Five-Race Conference.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, Orion and Glacial Dragon Jorik had an alliance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although this relationship wasn't public, it existed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this alliance in place, Glacial Dragon Jorik hadn't informed Orion in advance; there was definitely something fishy about this.\u003C\u002Fp>",1156,"2026-05-29T15:49:29.113Z","2026-06-01T04:29:39.741Z",1,"novelbin.me","94e31c30ca024337f0683a234357638222cc5548670ff60c220818cb14e699f5","titan-king-ascension-of-the-giant-chapter-657","titan-king-ascension-of-the-giant-chapter-655",1606,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ftitan-king-ascension-of-the-giant-cover.jpg"]
