Flying Fish Mayflies crawled over almost every available surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Their combat power isn’t high, but they easily form groups and can be organized into units.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Furthermore, their growth period is very short; they are ready for use within a year.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion looked at these Flying Fish Mayflies; he naturally knew what Lilith wanted to tell him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Stoneheart Horde had always lacked a formally organized air force; this was a shortcoming of the Horde.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for the Eagle Nest in the northern Thunderwood Forest breeding Harpies for the Horde, Delilah’s Sentinel Corps would never have developed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the appearance of the Flying Fish Mayflies, Orion, to address this need, had set his sights on Thunderhawk Rayden, tasking him with forming a flying army primarily composed of Thunderhawks within a year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of Orion’s purposes for returning south this time was to inspect Thunderhawk Rayden’s progress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unexpectedly, Lilith had given him an additional little surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If the adult Flying Fish Mayfly is less than thirty feet long, its limitations are somewhat significant, suitable only for Succubi and other small-statured people to ride.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This type of insectoid beast needs to be paired with troop types proficient in ranged attacks.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking of this, Orion suddenly felt that the Blood Elves, skilled in magic and archery, were the ideal riders for the Flying Fish Mayflies; they were a perfect match.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How long is their lifespan?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Orion observed the Flying Fish Mayflies, a serious problem suddenly occurred to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Five to seven years. The Flying Fish Mayfly’s lifespan is very short.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lilith’s expression was slightly embarrassed; for insectoid beasts, a short lifespan was an inherent weakness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Flying Fish Mayflies are ready in a year. Their remaining lifespan is enough to create surplus value for us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the Flying Fish Mayfly had significant drawbacks, Lilith still believed it was a very good troop type.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least for the Stoneheart Horde, it could fill the gap in air cavalry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion frowned, gazing at the Flying Fish Mayflies, unsure what to say for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long while, Orion shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Flying Fish Mayflies can indeed become our flying mounts, but they are not suitable for the Succubi.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lilith was puzzled. Flying Fish Mayflies were not inherently large and didn’t have a strong carrying capacity; logically, some lighter Succubi should be perfectly capable of riding them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Flying Fish Mayflies are not strong. If they go into battle, though they are air cavalry, they can only be considered cannon-fodder-level air cavalry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a fact. Compared to the wyvern armies Leonidas brought, the Flying Fish Mayflies were completely out of their league.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wyvern armies could slaughter the Flying Fish Mayflies in a few passes because their strength was simply too weak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since they are cannon fodder, most Flying Fish Mayflies will inevitably die on the battlefield, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion looked at Lilith, his face gentle. This was his wife; many things could be explained clearly and thoroughly to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"According to your idea, the riders on the Flying Fish Mayflies would be members of the Succubus tribe.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If the Flying Fish Mayflies die on the battlefield, would their riders fare any better?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Does the Succubus tribe have that many members to sacrifice as cannon fodder?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Lilith’s eyes widened. She could already imagine countless Succubi riding Flying Fish Mayflies, crashing onto the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a tragic scene was definitely not what the Succubus race hoped for, nor what the Succubus Queen hoped for, and certainly not what Lilith wanted to see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, don’t!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lilith cried out involuntarily. The Succubus tribe was her mother race and also the pillar of support for her and Pallas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tenderness on Orion’s face deepened. He pulled Lilith into his embrace, gently stroking his wife’s back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Therefore, Flying Fish Mayflies are only suitable for small-statured, expendable races to ride.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For example, Ratmen, Goblins... such races are not afraid of sacrifice.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ratmen were available in the northern Poison Dragon Swamp; they were a vassal race of the Stoneheart Horde.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And there was a group of Goblins neighboring the southern part of Thunderwood Forest; perhaps something could be arranged with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, in the wilds of the former Beastfolk territory, small populations of Gnomes existed; they were also under Orion’s consideration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ratmen and Gnomes—you can try them out first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If it’s feasible, you’ll also need to train them as decent spear throwers or archers.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, a new idea sparked in Orion’s mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If these troop types were viable, their development could be explored even further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they had gunpowder, Orion mused, could these units drop explosive packs and grenade-like items from the air, thereby upgrading the Stoneheart Horde’s Flying Fish Mayfly air cavalry into a bombing squadron?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even without gunpowder, couldn’t they acquire items like magic bullet scrolls?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the Champions Alliance had a demigod-level Archmage and his demigod faction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps the Deputy Commander already had such things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he thought about it, a joyful expression appeared on Orion’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lilith, domesticate these Flying Fish Mayflies well. They will be of great use to the Stoneheart Horde in the future.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lilith nodded. Receiving Orion’s affirmation, her heart filled with joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Lilith’s expression soon fell again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Unfortunately, the number of Flying Fish Mayflies is still rather small. If we want them on the battlefield, we’ll have to wait for them to breed for another two years.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These Flying Fish Mayflies, I still need to keep for laying eggs. If the number of viable eggs doesn’t reach a certain amount, the Flying Fish Mayfly population won’t snowball.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s alright. Our Stoneheart Horde can afford to wait.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Never mind two years; even ten years, Orion and the Stoneheart Horde could afford to wait.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion comforted Lilith, telling her not to rush.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For two years, Thunderhawk Rayden’s makeshift flying armies could temporarily fill the gap; that was acceptable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, Orion accompanied Lilith, tending to the Flying Fish Mayflies for a while before they left the secret chamber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three days later, Orion, leading a contingent of Raptor Cavalry, left Stoneheart City, heading towards the western coastline under the pretext of inspecting the territory.\u003C\u002Fp>",1125,"2026-05-29T15:49:31.013Z","2026-06-01T04:29:39.741Z",1,"novelbin.me","af66a4fd6c0e6bf7d6e59d69523e35553e9993c0e83e14ea8d8702ab717f60b4","titan-king-ascension-of-the-giant-chapter-753","titan-king-ascension-of-the-giant-chapter-751",1606,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ftitan-king-ascension-of-the-giant-cover.jpg"]
