Titan King: Ascension of the Giant-Chapter 758: Bloodsworn

"Additionally, recruit Bloodsworn of thirty thousand from the various races in the territory to defend Stoneheart City."

"For the recruitment of the Bloodsworn, do not restrict it to vassal races. As long as they wish to gain status and resources, they can be recruited."

"Of course, you must ensure their loyalty to me and to the Horde."

This task had to be done by Delilah.

Controlling the Sentinel Corps, she knew the vassal races in the territory better than anyone.

The creation of this Bloodsworn was, in fact, Orion extending an olive branch to those wavering races, a method to win hearts and minds and solidify sources of faith.

Only when the various races in the territory merged into one cohesive family would the Stoneheart Horde’s development proceed more steadily. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

"As for Pallas’s guards, the number is temporarily set at four. After the candidates are selected, find an opportunity for me to see them."

"Establish a guard training camp within the youth camp, also without racial restrictions."

"The task of true racial integration, let’s leave it to the next generation."

Since he was committing to it, Orion decided to see things through properly.

"Then what about Kronos?"

Delilah nodded, accepting the tasks, and then posed a question.

Kronos was in the Human Kingdom, but his status as a Giant Prince was acknowledged by Orion and the Stoneheart Horde.

"Prepare for him as well. When Kronos appears in our Stoneheart Horde’s territory, let him earn his own guards through his own abilities."

"If he doesn’t even acknowledge his own identity and bloodline, then he doesn’t deserve to have guards."

Orion’s voice became somewhat indifferent. Regarding Kronos, he couldn’t guarantee the child’s path.

Because Kronos also bore a portion of the Human Kingdom’s burdens.

Delilah remained silent. She had no right to interfere in Kronos’s affairs, nor could she.

Over the next few days, Orion discussed many other matters with Delilah, expressing his stance on various aspects.

...

On this day, the breeze was gentle, the sun beautiful, and the sky clear for leagues.

Upon the sea, a huge Sea-Devouring Warship appeared.

Under the watchful eyes of Delilah, Ursa, Drakthul, and others, Orion, along with his guards, boarded the Sea-Devouring Warship, preparing to attend the Seadragon race’s Sea Offering.

Bidding farewell to his subordinates and kinsmen, Orion waved his arm, and they set sail.

The sky and the sea, two different shades of blue, merged and connected, a truly magnificent and splendid sight.

Orion stood on the deck, facing the picturesque scene, his heart calm, his mood undisturbed.

The Sea Offering hosted by the Sea Folk was merely a pretext; their true intention was likely to conduct negotiations with the Stoneheart Horde and the Blood Elf race.

As for the content of the negotiations, that would depend on the Seadragon race’s perspective and their assessment of the situation.

"My lord, in which direction do we sail?"

Gazing at the distant churning waves and the soaring, circling seabirds, Guard Dace’s face showed some confusion.

Although the Stoneheart Horde had received an invitation, where was the Seadragon race’s so-called Azurecrown Royal Harbor?

No one had ever been there, there was no guide, and they had no relevant sea charts.

Not only was Dace confused, but even Orion was momentarily stumped by the question.

"Head towards the deep sea first; we’ll figure it out from there!"

Coming back to his senses, Orion immediately issued the instruction.

As long as they entered the deep sea region, with Orion’s perceptual abilities, he should be able to find the general direction.

Of course, given the Sea Folk’s surveillance capabilities in the deep sea, they would likely discover Orion’s party’s tracks soon enough.

Perhaps Seadragon King Neptor would quickly dispatch an escort team to guide Orion.

Sure enough, three days later, within Orion’s range of perception, a squad of Merfolk warriors appeared.

"Tell the helmsman on the warship to sail southwest."

"Sea Folk troops have appeared in that direction. Have our kinsmen maintain alert."

If that squad of Merfolk warriors was a guide party, then all was well; they could simply follow them to Azurecrown Royal Harbor.

If not, Orion wouldn’t mind capturing them and compelling them to act as guides.

"Is that His Majesty the Giant King from the Stoneheart Horde ahead?"

"We are the welcoming party sent by the Seadragon King!"

Under the gazes of all his kinsmen, the seawater ahead parted. An Alpha-level Tidewyrm swam out, hovering and swaying on the sea surface.

Orion said nothing. He glanced at Dace, who immediately understood.

"Please lead the way!"

Dace was neither overly polite nor arrogant; the other party was merely a minor character leading the way.

"Please have the warship submerge. There are undercurrents below; our progress will be faster!"

"Alright!"

Thus, the Sea-Devouring Warship submerged, and the group followed the undercurrents, heading towards the deep sea region.

"Truly beautiful!"

"I never imagined the underwater world would be so profound, in no way inferior to the vastness of the sky."

Beyn and Torba marveled; it was also their first time entering the deep sea, and they were incomparably awestruck by the scene unfolding before their eyes.

The ocean was vast, especially when traveling through the deep sea. The expanse and profundity displayed by the underwater world were like a universe full of mystery.

The seemingly endless transparent seawater against the deep blue background carried a hint of poetic and philosophical flavor, causing everyone to sigh with emotion for no particular reason.

Those with spiritual aptitude might even gain some enlightenment about their own lives.

Following the Tidewyrm all the way, the group saw whales surfacing to breathe, Lighthouse Jellyfish descending into the deep, and also vast schools of fish scattering in all directions upon sensing the Tidewyrm’s aura.

This was the grandeur of the vast ocean, and its beauty as well.

Orion shook his head and sighed inwardly. Such a beautiful and bountiful underwater world was not something the current Stoneheart Horde could conquer.

Eight days later, within Orion’s perception, powerful auras emanated from the distance—Legendary-level powerhouses of the Seadragon race.

This meant that Azurecrown Royal Harbor was just ahead.

However, within Orion’s line of sight, there was absolutely no trace of Azurecrown Royal Harbor.

Just as Orion was wondering, the darkness of the deep sea was dispelled, and a city encased in a colossal bubble abruptly appeared before them.

"Welcome, Giant King Orion, to Azurecrown! I hope this city allows you to enjoy yourself to the fullest and return satisfied!"

A resonant voice, hearty and tinged with joy, boomed from the city ahead.

This was the voice of Seadragon King Neptor, and also his manner of welcoming guests.

Orion, in contrast, had a much colder attitude.

Orion knew very well that he had killed the Seventh Prince of the Seadragon race; this was a profound enmity.

For Archlord Seadragon King Neptor to still welcome Orion with such an amiable expression, the hidden implications were daunting.

For Seadragon King Neptor to act this way, he was either a magnanimous and ambitious leader or a sinister, unscrupulous serpent cloaked in charm.

Based on these speculations, Orion became more guarded and heightened his vigilance.

Just as Orion was narrowing his eyes in thought, a fluctuation of water elements occurred, and a squad of Tidewyrms swam out majestically.

A middle-aged man dressed in golden robes, his figure flickering a few times, appeared outside the blue bubble.
