The Human Kingdom wanting to use Kronos to control the Stoneheart Horde—that was simply an impossible notion, groundless talk.
Orion's goal was to beco a demigod, perhaps even a Titan god, to achieve immortality.
As long as he lived, the giant upon the throne could only be him.
Conversely, once Orion beca sufficiently powerful, the Stoneheart Horde could potentially control or annex the Human Kingdom through Kronos.
Orion was no fool; he was, of course, aware of the Human Kingdom's petty sches.
"I'd like to see whether the Stoneheart Horde annexes the Human Kingdom, or the Human Kingdom controls the Stoneheart Horde."
This was Orion's inner thought!
The nascent plan for an invasion of the Human Kingdom, centered around Kronos, had already taken shape.
Delilah didn't speak, but joy already filled her eyes.
She could see that the child born of the human princess and the child born of Lilith held different statuses in Orion's eyes.
The words Orion had just spoken conveyed precisely this aning.
In reality, Orion's thoughts constituted the dominant will of the Stoneheart Horde.
Subordinates like Delilah and the vassal races could only provide Orion with more options, not dominate, resist, or cause trouble.
Lilith was the wife; her child was the legitimate heir of the Giant tribe, the legitimate heir of the Stoneheart Horde.
This was a fact that even Orion wouldn't easily change, nor did he wish to.
Just as in the past, the chieftains of the Blackstone Tribe were Hyperion and Clyne, not Orion.
To beco the heir to the Stoneheart Horde, one must defeat all of Orion's other offspring and achieve countless illustrious battle rits for the Horde.
If Kronos could truly accomplish these things, then many matters would no longer require dispute.
This was also the attitude Orion conveyed to his nurous subordinates and vassal races.
Kronos—they must acknowledge him, must respect him, because he was Orion's son.
But if Kronos desired status, he would have to earn it through strength and battle achievents.
Status and power within the Stoneheart Horde had always been acquired this way.
"This ti, our people captured many lizard(lizardfolk). I have already imprisoned them in the underground dungeons of the Colosseum."
"The Colosseum needs a director, one directly under your command."
After conveying his attitude to Delilah and the faction behind her, Orion steered the conversation towards the Colosseum.
"Not observe them further?"
"I can't wait any longer. Summon them to the castle. I will give them a choice."
Orion's cold voice sounded; at this mont, he was high above, imperious.
Delilah snapped her fingers, quickly relaying the ssage.
Half an hour later, just as Orion and Delilah were reaching a crucial mont, the voice of a guard sounded from outside the castle.
"My lord, the human rchants Nico and Kadir have been brought."
Delilah slid off Orion's penis, changed her clothes with utmost speed, and wiped clean the sexual fluids that had pooled on the spot.
Another quarter of an hour passed before Nico and Kadir were led into the castle by the guards.
"Nico pays respect to the esteed lord!"
"Kadir pays respect to the esteed lord!"
A terrifying pressure emanated from the throne, directly forcing Nico and Kadir to prostrate themselves on the ground.
"Submit to , be enslaved by , work for , work for the Stoneheart Horde."
"Otherwise, death, your bodies sacrificed, your souls imprisoned."
Orion didn't want to wait. The Colosseum needed to beco operational as soon as possible, to contribute its strength to the prosperity of the Stoneheart Horde.
And Nico and Kadir were the talents he had scouted for the Colosseum.
Orion was tyrannical, giving Nico and Kadir no other choice, directly enslaving them.
If they didn't want to die, they had to submit.
"Willing!"
"We are willing to submit, esteed lord!"
Saying they were willing to submit was extrely difficult, not because Nico and Kadir felt unwilling, but because under Orion's pressure, even speaking was sowhat arduous for them.
Upon the throne, Orion reached out his hand. Slave contract marks ford and were pressed onto the foreheads of Nico and Kadir.
The contract completed, the pressure vanished. Nico and Kadir had kept their lives.
"Send them to Lysinthia City. Have them participate in the defensive battles there. No withdrawal without achieving rits."
Before Nico and Kadir could even catch their breath, Orion had already arranged their next destination.
"As you command!"
Delilah nodded, staring at Nico and Kadir with a smile, her eyes full of anticipation.
In the Stoneheart Horde, one couldn't attain a high position without rits.
Even Nico and Kadir, destined for future economic roles, were no exception.
"Go out. Close down that general store of yours. It is now the property of the Stoneheart Horde."
Hearing this sentence, Nico, who had reached the doorway, nearly stumbled and fell.
Fortunately, Kadir beside him reached out and steadied him.
That was Nico's entire fortune!
It was his life!
After Nico and Kadir left the castle, Delilah burst into giggles, once again settling onto Orion's cock.
"Honey, this is robbery, forcible seizure! If word of this gets out, the Giant King's reputation might suffer."
"They won't dare spread it. In the future, they will thank !"
Orion's voice returned to calmness. Having dealt with an annoying matter pleased him considerably.
"Next, what you need to do is increase trade between the Horde and the humans, dwarves, blood elves, and dragons. Let our people live better lives."
"As for the Sea Race on the western coastline, just monitor them adequately."
Orion had a premonition that the flashpoint for the war between the land races and the Sea Race would involve the dragons.
Only when sothing major happened involving the dragons would the humans, dwarves, blood elves, and stoneheart horde be drawn in.
Ordinarily, the latter four races and the Sea Race engaged in, at most, minor skirmishes, with both sides exercising restraint.
Outer city, Barracks.
While Orion and Delilah discussed the Stoneheart Horde's future developnt plans, the youth camp was also bustling with activity.
"Rolan, Rolan, co out quick! There's good news!"
Steelblade rushed into the youth camp like a gust of wind, loudly calling Rolan's na.
Rolan, carrying a bundle of spears on his back, erged from a stone house, watching Steelblade run towards him.
"Rolan, did you know? Earthshaker, Dirtclaw, and the others won another battle!"
"Lots and lots of goods have been transported into the city."
Rolan reached out, steadied Steelblade, and offered his friend a waterskin.
"I already know. The youth camp also received a batch of new supplies."
"The Elder of Stewardship even allocated three lizards for us younglings to try and ta as mounts."
Rolan's clear eyes were filled with yearning, filled with determination.
