Titan King: Ascension of the Giant-Chapter 651: We’re back

"Listen to me, those people are not worthy of your worry, nor your sympathy."

"Their abandoning you, their leader, is a sign of distrust in you, and also in us."

"Besides, in their eyes, we are just stumbling blocks hindering their fortune."

Grum Ironfist the dwarf truly had no goodwill towards betrayers.

And this was the inherent flaw of humans; the more dangerous the situation, the clearer this flaw became.

"It must be something I did wrong for them not to trust me."

"I hope they're alright!"

"I know, many of those who left are mercenaries. Behind them stand too many children, elderly, and women."

"If they die, the ones who suffer will be the people behind them."

Once Godfrey said this, Grum Ironfist the dwarf also fell silent.

Godfrey wasn't worried about the group that left; he was worried about the old, weak, sick, and disabled who had no one to rely on.

Such a knight, full of compassion for the weak, this kind of rare kindness, should not be ridiculed.

Grum Ironfist the dwarf understood this.

"The Elder of Stewardship said this invasion will end soon. When that time comes, those who are alive will all be teleported back."

"Godfrey, when you return to Stoneheart City, you'll know if those people are still alive."

Steropes hadn't spoken all this time because he was on guard duty.

After hearing Godfrey's and Grum Ironfist's worries, he spoke up to remind Godfrey.

Godfrey nodded, sighed, and looked up towards the distant horizon, but what was reflected in his eyes was a stretch of darkness.

Miles and miles away, in similar darkness, screams and rapid gasps, like bellows, pumped at an extremely fast rhythm.

Roar!

In the darkness, a terrifying beastly roar was heard.

A fear-inducing scream went from high to low, followed by crunch, crunch chewing sounds.

In the forest, many figures were fleeing.

They were the ones who had left the invading armies.

Looking at the number of those who successfully escaped, compared to when they left, it was at least 80% less.

In the latter half of the night, in a hidden cave, there was no bonfire, no wine, only an atmosphere suppressed to the extreme.

"This is another world, dark creatures are everywhere! We shouldn't have left the main force."

"You shut up, you damn scumbag! I saw you push your own companion to the dark creatures just to save your own skin! You're too shameless!"

"Do I need you to judge whether I'm shameless? If I didn't push him, I would be the one dead! If it were you, how would you choose?"

"Everyone quiet down! Just because the cave is deep doesn't mean it's safe here."

"Everyone stop talking! For us to have survived until now, whose hands aren't stained with blood and lives?"

"Surviving is the only truth!"

"..."

Among these people, some were sinister, some were vile, and some were exceedingly intelligent.

They were mercenaries; what they pursued was adventure, death, and exorbitant profits.

In their hearts, there might be remorse, there might be sighs, but they were not worthy of pity.

Like merchants, in most cases, they were solely profit-driven.

...

Half a month later, the void passage. Orion slowly opened his eyes.

Void energy was rapidly fluctuating; Orion knew very well what this meant.

This cross-realm invasion was about to end. The result would surely be some people happy and some dejected.

But those who got to eat the cake would always be the most powerful group.

"Because of your probing, the contract scroll will become invalid in three months."

"Think carefully, your time is running out."

Sensing the aura of Lolth the Spider Queen, Orion said this to the other side.

This was false information, Orion bluffing Lolth, the purpose being to pressure her, to give her an ultimatum.

And this news made Lolth's heart, on the other side of the void passage, thump wildly.

Lolth felt a little flustered; she somewhat wanted to further question Orion for related news.

But when she looked up, she couldn't bring herself to speak, only able to watch the void passage disappear bit by bit.

Stoneheart City, still prosperous.

Huge spatial energy fluctuations alarmed many powerful individuals.

Those with quicker minds soon realized the invading armies had returned.

Countless mercenaries, merchants, residents, and travelers all stood up in taverns and at home, rushing out towards the gates of the outer city military camp.

Suddenly, a powerful pressure swept over, declaring the majesty and presence of the Stoneheart Horde's most powerful lord.

"The invading armies have won a great victory! All cities will celebrate for three days! All official residents of the Stoneheart Horde may go to the military camp to receive three days of free food."

Orion's voice spread throughout the entire territory, three times in succession, causing the bustling Stoneheart City to instantly erupt in an uproar.

The castle, conference hall.

After Orion and Delilah left, Kitsune Sylvana had always been here handling the Stoneheart Horde's governmental affairs.

Suddenly, thunder roared, a fierce wind blew in, and Sylvana, who was handling official business, was pulled by a large hand into embrace.

"All of you, get out!"

Orion glanced at the old elder of the fox tribe and two succubus maidservants standing to the side, and with a wave of his large hand, closed the conference hall door.

"What you need to do now is not handle official business, but help me release my sexual desire."

Orion looked down, gazing at Sylvana's stunningly beautiful face. His strong male hormones, like a catalyst, stimulated Sylvana.

In the blink of an eye, Sylvana's clothes were all stripped off. She leaned against Orion's chest, then bent down to kiss his cock.

Orion had guarded the void passage for several months; he had long wanted to release his sexual desire.

A moment later, Sylvana's moans and the sound of flesh colliding echoed in the conference hall.

...

Military camp, the square. All personnel descended and returned.

"We're back!"

Gormathar, Taran, Brontes, Steropes, Godfrey, Grum Ironfist, and Saelen all stood near Delilah.

Returning was a major event; everyone would be nervous.

Unconsciously, these Alpha-level powerhouses had all gathered around Delilah, because they all knew that if any accident occurred, Orion would not abandon Delilah.

Staying near Delilah, perhaps they wouldn't be abandoned either.

This was what everyone was thinking; at least Knight Godfrey, Grum Ironfist the dwarf, and Saelen the Blood Elf all had this thought.

"We're finally back!"

Saelen sighed, smelling the familiar air, the familiar clamor of the city, and put away the bow and arrow in her hand.

"Fantastic... Let's go, let's go drinking!!"

Grum Ironfist the dwarf shouted, and was met with a wave of cheers and support; even Godfrey beside him excitedly shouted 'Alright!'.

"Let's go, to the mysterious tavern! Today, we brothers are treating!"

Brontes and Steropes called out to Taran the Pandaren, preparing to head to the mysterious tavern for a round of spending.

Brontes' and Steropes' homes were both located in Blackstone City. They also had residences in Stoneheart City, but no family there.

Therefore, the tavern was their first destination.

"Alright, let's go together! It's been a long time since I've had the fine wine of the mysterious tavern."

Taran the Pandaren nodded in agreement, tidied himself up a bit, and then followed the Brontes and Steropes brothers out.
