Commander Brick, where have you been? Come, drink up—the roasted meat is ready!” Fariao’s boisterous laugh rang out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Brick nodded expressionlessly, but before sitting down to eat, he summoned his deputy commander.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You will lead the night watch yourself tonight, coordinating with those minor nobles—no soldier or knight is to remove their armor.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to days of unbroken success, many knights and soldiers had grown lax.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some had even begun secretly stripping off their leather armor to sleep, finding it uncomfortable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normally, when stationed in castles or safe zones with no enemies, as long as the night watch remained fully armored, Brick turned a blind eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Gervas’s words had stirred unease in him, so he decided no longer to ignore his men’s negligence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, my lord!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Remember, I am not joking—anyone who slacks off will be punished severely!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The deputy commander stiffened, bowed again, then withdrew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hah! Commander Brick, come, let us drink and celebrate tomorrow’s great victory!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Ding! Daily intelligence has refreshed…】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Intelligence One: The garrison zone you must reach lies south of Viscount O’Neill’s territory—this is the only passage toward Bokacheng.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Intelligence Two: The western tribes’ plan has reached its final stage—Viscount O’Neill’s territory is the final trap set for the left-wing noble army.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Intelligence Three: A total of six thousand tribal warriors are now concealed in the surrounding wilderness, waiting to launch a deadly ambush on the left-wing noble army at dawn.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Intelligence Four: Your departure has been noticed by the tribesmen, but they are not in a hurry, for your main force remains their primary target.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Intelligence Five: They have dispatched five cavalrymen to trail you; once the main force is eliminated, they will turn to deal with you.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Intelligence Six: Moreover, they have already stationed five hundred tribal warriors inside Aojinmubao.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Intelligence Seven: With the warriors’ combat prowess and the wooden fort’s defenses, the savages estimate that even if you grew wings, you could not escape.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Intelligence Eight: Besides your left-wing noble army, the right-wing army will also be ambushed tonight.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Intelligence Nine: They too have fallen into the tribesmen’s meticulously laid trap.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Intelligence Ten: After tonight’s ambush, the tribesmen’s next move will be to converge on the central army, surrounding the noble forces from both front and rear.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Intelligence Eleven: The western tribes will learn tonight that you killed two hundred Black Tiger warriors.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Intelligence Twelve: To avenge them, they will mark you as a high-priority target for pursuit.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Intelligence Thirteen: Thirty li past Aojinmubao, you will find a maple forest; turn right and travel three li to a peak with a magnificent waterfall.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Intelligence Fourteen: Behind the waterfall lies a hidden cave, leading to a sealed valley beyond.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Ding! Daily intelligence system refresh complete!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn! Gervas exclaimed, “Damn!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, the guess was correct; the group of tribal savages had deliberately hidden themselves in the dense thicket, seemingly trapped like fish in a barrel, but in reality, they were merely luring the noble army into a trap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, his guess was right—the tribal decoys had deliberately hidden in the narrow woods, pretending to be trapped, merely to lure the noble armies into place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Worse still, they were now fully inside the tribes’ encirclement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So even if he had learned the truth in advance, how could he escape this disaster?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Retreat? Go back the way they came?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Probably not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The new intelligence had refreshed—this meant it was already dawn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tribes had likely already launched their assault on the royal army; returning the same way would be walking straight into a trap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What then?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Press forward toward Bokacheng?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention the five hundred tribal guards stationed at Aojinmubao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he captured Aojinmubao, pressing onward meant entering enemy territory…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the intelligence warned that, for killing the two hundred Black Tiger warriors, he himself had become a marked target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is infuriating.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the first time, Gervas felt the helplessness of war.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Splash! Splash!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a Swift Demon Hawk appeared overhead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My lord, the Swift Demon Hawk squad has spotted five tribal cavalrymen behind us. They noticed our Storm Squad and have been trailing from afar, not closing in.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So they’ve come!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gervas knew these were the watchers sent to monitor him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the tribes eliminated the main force, a large contingent would follow these riders to hunt him down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My lord, those tribesmen hiding in the woods have no horses—these five cavalrymen appearing now must mean trouble!” Lei Meng’s face darkened instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he lacked the system’s intelligence, he could sense something wrong in the sudden appearance of five tribal cavalrymen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gervas nodded, then turned to Laurent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Captain Laurent, lead the squad onward toward the objective. The knight squad stays with me—we’ll ambush these tails with the Swift Demon Hawks’ help.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eliminating five tribesmen was not difficult—they had no idea they’d been spotted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They walked blindly into Gervas’s ambush.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lei Meng and the knights surged forward, cutting down four in a single strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The last one barely dodged the first attack and tried to flee, but with the Swift Demon Hawks pursuing, escape was impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All five became roadkill; their horses became Gervas’s spoils.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My lord, these men all wear leather armor—they must be tribal elites!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gervas nodded in agreement. “Correct. The main army is in trouble. These were sent to watch us—once the main force is destroyed, a large tribal force will come for us.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mi Gen and the others turned pale. “My lord, what do we do?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The rear is cut off—we must press forward,” Gervas had no choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lei Meng immediately agreed. “Right—if the western tribes have ambushes behind us, going back now is suicide.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So we must press forward…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding! Ding! Ding!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kill!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That night, in the left-wing army’s encampment, flames shot skyward; alarm bells and battle cries rang endlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s happening?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fariao, who had just fallen asleep after the bonfire banquet, was jolted awake by the sudden alarms and screams.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My lord, it’s the tribal savages—there are countless of them!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How is this possible? There were only a thousand tribesmen on the mountain, none even wearing leather armor—how dare they attack our nine-thousand-strong army?” Fariao was uneasy but forced calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His confidence came from the sheer size of his force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, my lord—not just the thousand on the mountain. The surrounding wilderness has suddenly swarmed with tribal warriors.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Many wear leather armor—their numbers are uncountable, as if the hills and plains are filled with them… We… we are surrounded!”\u003C\u002Fp>",1129,"2026-06-20T22:44:01.160Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","98d15a3de7a0f162a468b080023146bc99709b7928f05c8bdf007c63e8a25d6f","warlord-starting-with-daily-intelligence-chapter-146","warlord-starting-with-daily-intelligence-chapter-144",521,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwarlord-starting-with-daily-intelligence-cover.jpg"]
