The more he grasped the true depth of Leonidas's and Alexander's capabilities, the more keenly he felt the gaps in his own strategic understanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This partial map had been charted by the Shadow Paper Figure that Alexander had given him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion had dispatched the Shadow Paper Figure about nine months ago, and in that time, it had traversed half the continent, meticulously mapping the terrain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simultaneously, it had provided Orion with intelligence about hostile forces in this region.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the Shadow Paper Figure wasn't as potent as the Deputy Commander's owl, its effectiveness was still enough to astound Orion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bro, look.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion reached out, pointing to an icon in the top-right corner of the map: a small, three-leafed diagram.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Emerald Dream Realm has three leaf-shaped continents, which is why it's also called the Tri-Leaf World.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The continent we're on is called the Twilight Continent, right here.\" Orion pointed to the bottom-left continent on the small diagram, beginning his explanation to Leonidas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leonidas studied the map intently, saying nothing, waiting for Orion to continue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Currently, my Shadow Paper Figure has explored half the continent; the other half is blocked.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion's finger moved down to the middle of the Twilight Continent, pointing to a pattern of undulating lines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There's a mountain range here called the Ashenfang Traverse. It divides our continent in two. We don't have information on the northern half yet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However, this southern region where we are has been completely explored.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion gestured expansively at the map, his expression animated as he spoke about their current region.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially when he mentioned their first invasion target, Orion grew increasingly excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bro, before you arrived, some clueless pests already came to test us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion's finger moved west on the map, pointing to a mountain range.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is the Stratus Range. There's a Stratus Nest here, inhabited by a flock of Aarakocra – creatures with human heads and bird bodies.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Aarakocra are flying dark creatures. They were the ones who sent small units to probe us earlier.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bro, they are the first target we need to eliminate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We must wipe them out first because, aside from them, there are no other large flying-type dark creature units in this southern half of the continent.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Once that's done, we can quickly sweep across this half of the continent.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion lightly tapped the location of the Stratus Range on the map, his tone icy. A palpable killing intent radiated from him, causing the temperature in the cave to drop noticeably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Flying creatures?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehehe, an air battle right off the bat?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I like it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leonidas sounded dismissive of the enemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, this wasn't underestimation, but rather strategic contempt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When it came to actual battle, old hands like Leonidas paid meticulous attention to every tactical detail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"More importantly, this mountain range is coastal. If we take it, we can bring Kraken over.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then, we conquer the land, Kraken conquers the seas, and with mutual support between land and sea forces, this half of the continent can become our stable rear base.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion's finger continued westward, moving to the sea area on the map, where he drew a circle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha, that's great! Let's get Squiddy(Kraken) over here too. We'll do as you say.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, Leonidas was all for a plan that not only accomplished the invasion but also allowed him to bring over his subordinate, Kraken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leonidas had felt a bit awkward about not having Kraken join him sooner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, with the plan to secure the coastal Stratus Range and eventually the passes of the Ashenfang Traverse, bringing Squiddy over would be perfectly feasible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, with their three forces—sea, land, and air—assembled, establishing a firm foothold on this continent would surely be a piece of cake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion was also smiling. He was very happy to be able to repay a favor to Kraken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And these areas.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion's finger moved east, back to the continental map, as he spoke seriously to Leonidas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bro, in this half of the continent, from south to north, there are eight major races.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They are the Vyrkolath Bloodreavers, Ashenveil Sprites, Obsidian Skaleth, Zephyrkin Swifts, Charghast Infernals, the dark fiend race, and Nethervarg Soulflayers.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And the Aarakocra race, who provoked us and are about to be... cleansed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In other words, we two will be facing eight lords of unknown strength.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion's tone was no longer icy, becoming much calmer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eight lords of unknown strength—while a bit numerous—weren't a big deal for peak Legendary level individuals like Orion and Leonidas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The main thing was not to alert these lords before the invasion plan launched, and not to let them unite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, the invasion of this half of the continent on the map had to be swift, a blitzkrieg.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eight lords, even a few more wouldn't matter,\" Leonidas mused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The key is not to let them unite. Otherwise, your spider armies and my wyvern armies would suffer heavy casualties, if not total annihilation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leonidas briefly assessed the situation, understanding the scenario they would be facing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For a blitzkrieg, the armies we two brought aren't enough,\" he continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We need Arthas's subordinates, Rumbold or Vexis, to come over. Otherwise, it'll be difficult to steamroll them with our current forces.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rumbold and Vexis were still in the Valkorath Realm, assisting Orion's forces in clearing out fungal creatures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion nodded, agreeing to this, and prepared to make the arrangements shortly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hulk, one more thing,\" Leonidas added. \"Those Vyrkolath Bloodreavers, Charghast Infernals, and Nethervarg Soulflayers you just mentioned—we suspect they aren't native creatures either. They're likely evil beings.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion frowned; he hadn't actually considered that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leonidas's words were a reminder to Orion that those three races, whose names sounded dark and sinister, were very likely guided into this world by that Reaper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bro, are you saying these three races might be tough to deal with?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whether they're tough or not is hard to say, but I don't think it will go too smoothly,\" Leonidas replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion frowned. He had little experience with this kind of invasion warfare, and there were still many things he wouldn't have thought of.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Regardless of whether they're difficult or not, if we bring Arthas's undead armies over, nothing will be a problem.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even if those lords unite then, we won't be afraid.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leonidas chuckled. He had cooperated with Arthas for many years and had a profound understanding of the undead armies, filled with confidence in them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion strongly agreed with Leonidas's idea. After making a copy of the map for Leonidas, the two of them closed their eyes in contemplation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Survivor's Platform – Public Channel\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hulk: Alexander, have you and Isabella successfully arrived?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alexander: Arrival successful. Currently preparing for the invasion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion and his group were quite lucky. When Delilah previously led a cross-realm invasion, the continent they arrived on was a different one in the Emerald Dream Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>",1141,"2026-05-29T15:49:29.113Z","2026-06-01T04:29:39.741Z",1,"novelbin.me","8494ff5ad5894395a7edc3210f2cdb00ae87dc7fc36a4c48c6c7f9fa3fd131a1","titan-king-ascension-of-the-giant-chapter-683","titan-king-ascension-of-the-giant-chapter-681",1606,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ftitan-king-ascension-of-the-giant-cover.jpg"]
