Titan King: Ascension of the Giant

The void passage was silent.

Orion's mind once again immersed itself in the Survivor's Platform, entering the public channel of the Champions Alliance.

Hulk: "Hey bros, is there any way to subdue a Legendary level broodmother through a void passage?"

Lolth, the Queen of Blind Spiders, was very smart, willing to trade materials for intelligence. Such behavior made Orion see her in a new light.

If Orion were in Lolth's position, he felt he wouldn't have such daring; he would be very reluctant to part with painstakingly accumulated materials.

Leonidas: "Hulk, from the sound of it, you've got an idea?"

Leonidas: "Spill it, let me give you some input!"

Alexander: "Are you sure it's a broodmother?"

Kraken: "Also Legendary level, and through a void passage? That would be very difficult for us, wouldn't it?"

Orion didn't respond to Leonidas, Alexander, or Kraken. He was waiting for Deputy Commander Edward's opinion.

Edward: "First, tell us the specific situation."

Hulk: "The void passage I'm guarding has a legendary-level spider broodmother on the other side. She's very intelligent and also very anxious..."

Orion didn't hide anything, recounting his series of trades with Lolth and her behavior to everyone.

Leonidas: "Not bad! Didn't realize you had the potential to be a con artist!"

Orion ignored Leonidas. Then, Leonidas replied again.

Leonidas: "That being said, that spider broodmother really has some guts. That's not something mere cunning can achieve."

Hulk: "My idea is, can we directly subdue her, give her resources and a chance for self-preservation, and have her act as an inside agent?"

Hulk: "Then, have her cooperate with Arthas's undead armies to expand our territory together."

After hearing Orion's idea, everyone fell into a brief silence.

Silence at this moment meant the idea was feasible.

Invading the Emerald Dream Realm with a Legendary level broodmother as cover and support would bring them a lot of convenience.

Leonidas: "Subduing a broodmother through a void passage? I definitely can't do that."

Alexander: "I could, but it would definitely attract the attention of demigod-level powerhouses. The cost is too great."

As for Kraken, he simply said nothing. His strength was the weakest; this had nothing to do with him.

The negative answers from Leonidas and Alexander made everyone place their hopes on the Deputy Commander.

Edward: "Helping you subdue her directly is out of the question. Your mental strength isn't enough to contend with a spider broodmother across a void passage."

Edward: "How about this: I'll give you a contract scroll later. As long as that spider broodmother agrees to surrender, I'll take her in."

With the Deputy Commander personally intervening, Orion got the method he wanted.

Now, the task was to persuade Lolth, Queen of the Blind Spiders, to surrender voluntarily.

This matter was difficult.

...

Emerald Dream Realm, Shadowcrag Forest.

The fire was lit.

The great fire blazed, crackling as it burned.

The excited roars of the various bloodline warriors and the hissing, agonizing cries of the Hatchery Spiders became the backdrop to the flames.

As the fire intensified, the flames mercilessly devoured the darkness and consumed life.

Bang!

Trees, amidst various impacts, crashed down.

Flesh, mercilessly roasted by the flames, emitted a meaty aroma, then burst, then charred.

A wind rose from an unknown place, whistling as it came, its sound growing increasingly mournful.

"When the wind picks up more, the flames will leap and dance."

The firelight reflected on Delilah's beautiful face. The surrounding temperature gradually rose, and a thick smell of char filled the air.

However, such an environment had no effect on these battle-hardened bloodline warriors.

Instead, the dense swarms of small spiders in the woods died in large swathes after the flames ravaged through.

"This world is very strange!"

Saelen came to Delilah's side. The moment the fire was lit, she had disengaged from combat and returned to Delilah's guard detail.

Just now, Saelen had tried again to awaken the tree spirits here, but unfortunately, she failed once more.

"Strange is normal!"

"Although I don't know what happened to this world, it exudes an eerie strangeness everywhere. We need to be careful."

The fire attack had a remarkable effect.

At least for this night, the invading armies could get some good rest in the heart of this sea of fire.

Looking at the warriors of various clans casually sprawled on the ground, Delilah also breathed a sigh of relief inwardly.

As the leader of this invading army, it was her duty to lead these people to invade another world, plunder resources, and simultaneously reduce unnecessary sacrifices.

Just then, a familiar roar came from the distant sky.

Delilah looked up, a pleasant surprise in her eyes.

That roar was unique to the Four-Winged Blood Bat.

The troops she had sent out to gather intelligence had finally returned.

"It looks like they found their way back by the firelight!"

"The fire must have helped drive away some of their enemies."

This was Saelen's guess, and it was indeed the case.

As the roars drew nearer, Delilah could faintly hear the sound of the Four-Winged Blood Bat flapping its fleshy wings.

Thud!

A huge dark shadow swooped down and, just as it was about to crash, soared past.

What remained was the prey dropped by the Four-Winged Blood Bat, and two dark figures leaping from its back.

The prey dropped by the Four-Winged Blood Bat was an Alpha-level dark creature.

The dark creature had fleshy wings, so it must have been a flying type.

"Your Majesty!"

These were two succubus warriors. They were covered in blood, and one had an injured arm with a gash so deep the bone was visible.

Judging by the wound, it was likely left by beast claws.

"Bandage and treat her first!"

A shaman hurried over from the rear, chanting spells to heal the injured personnel.

Only after this did Delilah turn her gaze to the uninjured succubus warrior.

"Any findings?"

The succubus warrior nodded, then shook her head.

Delilah said nothing. She knew there was more to come and waited for the succubus warrior to speak.

"Your Majesty, we followed the Four-Winged Blood Bat north to explore. On the way, we were attacked by a flock of Dark Bat Hawks. The accompanying harpy scout team was completely wiped out."

"More than half of the accompanying succubus squad also perished, with several members falling into the forest, their status unknown."

"For a thousand miles ahead, it's all dense forest like this."

Delilah lowered her head in thought, while Saelen, listening to the report beside her, frowned.

According to the intelligence provided by the succubus warrior, the situation was actually very bad.
