This is...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Dain, the Dwarf Prophet, who cried out in surprise. The Dwarf race possessed an innate intuition for weapons and machinery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Sea-Devouring Warship!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is a warship produced by our Dragon race. It can carry your warriors into the deep sea and allow you to come and go freely within the ocean.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The white dragon Frostsire led the way as the group landed on the Sea-Devouring Warship and walked towards its interior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The internal space of the warship was vast, enough to accommodate three thousand Giants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Sea-Devouring Warship is inscribed with a defensive magical formation. As long as there are enough crystal cores and energy crystals, the formation can be activated to release a defensive shield.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The white dragon Frostsire activated the magical formation. The warship's formation came to life, releasing a translucent defensive shield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shield flickered, looking like a membrane.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even a Legendary-level being would need to spend some time to break through this defensive shield.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a casual wave of his hand, the white dragon Frostsire surged his transcendent power, striking the shield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The defensive shield shook violently but ultimately remained unharmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one spoke. Everyone could see that the white dragon Frostsire's actions were likely a sales pitch for his own product.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Respected Dragon Emperor, Your Majesty, the Sea-Devouring Warship seems to be lacking weapons.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Grand Duke Richard say this, Orion's eyes lit up. Ever since boarding the Sea-Devouring Warship, he had felt something was amiss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So that was it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What the Sea-Devouring Warship lacked was its most crucial weapons system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph... This is already enough for you to tie down the Sea Race.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As for weapons, you can develop your own.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group fell silent. By presenting the Sea-Devouring Warship stripped of its weapons system, the white dragon Frostsire had already achieved his purpose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the Sea-Devouring Warship, the Humans, Dwarves, Blood Elves, and Giants could enter the deep sea and pose a threat to the Sea Race.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for how much combat capability each race could exert, that was not the white dragon Frostsire's concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, operating the Sea-Devouring Warship would consume a massive amount of resources, which was also an indirect way for the Dragons to weaken the foundations of the other races.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The effect might be ordinary, but it was a method nonetheless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Respected Dragon Emperor, Your Majesty, how many Sea-Devouring Warships will you be gifting us?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The word \"gifting\" was used very cleverly, and also quite shamelessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The white dragon Frostsire glanced at Grand Duke Richard again, a cold glint flashing in the depths of his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As the host of this Sacrificial Grand Ceremony, I can only gift each race one Sea-Devouring Warship.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you want more, you'll have to trade other resources for them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Grand Duke Richard also fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Truth be told, for the white dragon Frostsire to gift even one Sea-Devouring Warship was already very generous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The manufacturing cost of such a thing would definitely not be low. Although it lacked a weapons system, its functionality was something none of them could refuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lireesa was a Blood Elf. She had lived the longest among this group and had more worldly experience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She felt that this Dragon Emperor's methods were truly masterful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A single Sacrificial Grand Ceremony had completely pulled the other four races into his camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The simultaneous appearance of seven Legendary-level lords had pressured everyone into aligning with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deterring and dispersing the invading Sea Race had, moreover, given everyone hope of victory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, the Sea-Devouring Warship that the white dragon Frostsire presented was like an enormous bait.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a 'killer move' or 'conspiracy' to lure the four races into invading the Sea Race and opening up maritime territories.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grand Elder Lireesa didn't even need to think to know that the Human race would never give up on something like the Sea-Devouring Warship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the Blood Elf race wouldn't give it up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the Blood Elves wouldn't, then neither the Stoneheart Horde nor the Dwarf race could possibly refuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This meant that all four races would strive to purchase Sea-Devouring Warships, pouring resources and energy into them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this way, the four races would not only help the Dragons tie down the Sea Race but also create a peaceful and stable rear for the Dragon race.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sea-Devouring Warship—it was a trap with a surface lavishly covered in chocolate and cheese.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To taste the delicacies, their four races would surely become obsessed with it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the sea regions were also territories they desperately hoped to open up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Opening up sea regions meant increasing their territory, obtaining more resources, and supporting more kinsmen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ultimately, this could provide more faith, enhance their race's potential, and nurture terrifyingly powerful Archlords.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, they could not refuse the Sea-Devouring Warship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dragon Emperor, Your Majesty, the Stoneheart Horde wishes to purchase complete Sea-Devouring Warships. Your terms.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion's request was met with a sneer from the white dragon Frostsire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The white dragon Frostsire was luring the four races in to have them tie down some of the Sea Race's forces for him, and to continually drain their own resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn't about to nurture four monstrosities that could pose a threat to him; he wasn't that foolish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, the white dragon Frostsire treated Orion's request with contempt, not even bothering to reply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is the price of a Sea-Devouring Warship?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion, Richard, and Lireesa all frowned, looking at Dain the Dwarf with very unfriendly gazes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dain the Dwarf's eagerness was indirectly aiding the white dragon Frostsire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, the white dragon Frostsire would surely name an exorbitant price.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Dain the Dwarf ignored their murderous glares.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Dain's view, if the Dwarf race could obtain a Sea-Devouring Warship, they could study it thoroughly. The end result would be either improvement or replication.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, the Dwarf race excelled at manufacturing weapons, so Dain desperately needed to get his hands on a Sea-Devouring Warship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion sighed, feeling somewhat helpless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This small incident showed that the Five-Race Alliance was fundamentally unreliable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the interests of their respective races, they could betray it at any time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion lowered his head in thought, no longer considering the unreliable organization that was the Five-Race Alliance, but rather how many Sea-Devouring Warships the Stoneheart Horde would need.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Stoneheart Horde's southern sea region needed Sea-Devouring Warships, and so did the coastal area near Lysinthia's city in the north.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lysinthia had once told Orion that there was a very large island across the sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Orion, who urgently needed to expand his territory, the island Lysinthia had mentioned had long been part of his plans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, he had no means to cross the sea. Now, the appearance of the Sea-Devouring Warship created an opportunity for Orion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he had Lysinthia take a portion of their kinsmen on Sea-Devouring Warships back to her birth island and establish a base there...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, by finding the Deputy Commander to create another intra-realm teleportation array, Orion could easily dispatch troops and conquer Serpent Isle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, in the process of invading the Sea Race, they would surely encounter various Sea Race tribes and discover various islands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this way, the Stoneheart Horde's territory would invisibly grow larger and larger, and the time for Orion to advance to Archlord would also be continually brought forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Giant King Orion, have you considered it carefully?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The white dragon Frostsire stared at Orion with a smile, rousing him from his deep thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Considered what?\" Orion subconsciously asked back, his attention gradually refocusing.\u003C\u002Fp>",1291,"2026-05-29T15:49:29.113Z","2026-06-01T04:29:39.741Z",1,"novelbin.me","29a16785a21d00bdbba8090825e9e2e087ba7f111a94cc9c016df04cb044e38e","titan-king-ascension-of-the-giant-chapter-673","titan-king-ascension-of-the-giant-chapter-671",1606,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ftitan-king-ascension-of-the-giant-cover.jpg"]
