We’ll only know if it works once we test it. If the scheme fails, we’ll have to resort to brute force.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, Gervas began making preparations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He led over a hundred slaves, disguised as routed troops, toward Aojinmubao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lei Meng and the Magic Swift Eagle squad would remain hidden until the savages were truly deceived, then infiltrate the wooden fortress to launch a coordinated attack from within and without.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Advance.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finalizing the arrangements, Gervas gave the order, leading the disguised force toward Aojinmubao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You fools, move faster—if you don’t want to die, the savages are almost upon us!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the night, muffled curses drifted through the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This immediately drew the attention of the tribal sentinels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since they had been forewarned that Commander Tikala would launch an attack tonight, the tribal warriors on guard had not slept.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s going on?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Captain Ram, it sounds like a noble’s voice—they’ve appeared!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Really? Those damned nobles and their lackeys? Prepare for battle, all of you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ram’s face glowed with excitement—he hadn’t expected noble troops to actually flee toward them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had already resigned himself to never experiencing the thrill of slaying a noble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the curses grew louder, Ram and his men finally spotted the group of figures on the northern road.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were just over a hundred men, with two or three mounted knights and five or six carts; the column was disorganized and hurried, clearly fleeing in panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stop!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing something amiss on the fortress, the group halted over a hundred meters away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who are you?” came the noble’s uncertain voice from below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ha! Damned noble, what do you think we are?” Ram burst into laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No good—it’s savages… savages? How can there be savages here too?” The noble’s voice trembled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ha! Damned noble, we’ve been waiting for you a long time—you’re not getting away!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I advise you to surrender. I, Ram, can give you a quick and merciful death!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Otherwise, you’ll learn what true suffering means!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Savages… no, tribal warriors, I’ll give you all my wealth and supplies—just let me pass through this valley!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I was only forced to fight in this southwestern front—I’ve never killed a single one of your tribal warriors!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I have gold coins, silver coins, copper coins—oh, and two carts of smoked meat, three carts of wheat, and half a cart of fine wine.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gulp!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the noble’s plea, Ram swallowed hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t even need to mention the gold or the smoked meat—the wine was the most exquisite thing he’d tasted in over twenty years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had it not been for this tribal alliance’s offensive against the noble lands, they wouldn’t have known such a delicacy existed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet he would never let this noble go, nor would he stoop to deceiving him with such false words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Noble, you think we’ll spare you? Impossible. But if you surrender all your supplies—including the wine—to me, I, Ram, swear by the Totem God to give you a swift and honorable death. I hear nobles care most about honor!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You… you’re dreaming, savage! If you won’t let me pass, you won’t get a single thing of mine!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damned noble, then die!” Ram shouted. “Shoot!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A volley of arrows shot forth from the wooden fortress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Go, run!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing danger, the noble immediately shouted for his guards to turn around in panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, the distant column erupted into chaos; though the arrows fell short due to distance, the panic caused one cart to veer off the road and sink into the mud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The few soldiers pushing the cart dared not linger—they fled in terror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ha! Cowardly fools! Come on, let’s see what’s in that cart!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ram laughed loudly. Seeing the noble’s group flee, he immediately led his men out of camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, he was cautious—he and several men descended from the fortress using ropes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Smoked meat—my god, it’s a whole cart of it! How many elk or yak must this take, at least a hundred?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ha! We’ve truly struck it rich!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dried meat? Good heavens, it's an entire cartload of smoked dried meat—so much, it must come from at least a hundred elk or yak!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ram, however, stared intently at the fleeing carts in the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those fools had terrible luck—after running a few hundred meters, two more carts sank into the mud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since they were farther away, this time the noble didn’t abandon them—he was whipping his men to push the carts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Those carts still hold at least half a cart of wine and three carts of wheat—and they’ve only got a hundred men!” Ram said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Captain Ram, you mean…?” His men had caught on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There's at least half a cart of fine wine on those wagons, plus three carts of wheat, and they have no more than a hundred men!\" said Ram.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But Captain Ram, Commander Tikala ordered us to hold the fortress!” one subordinate hesitated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The order is correct—but it’s meant to guard against large groups of fleeing troops!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Look at this enemy—they’re barely a hundred men, and they’re as cowardly as mice!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That half-cart of wine alone could be traded in our tribe for three carts of smoked meat. Are you really willing to let them escape and leave the spoils to other tribes?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And to deal with these hundred men, we don’t need many—three hundred men can crush them quickly with minimal losses!” Ram said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His men were instantly swayed. “Captain Ram, we follow you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And to deal with these hundred men, we don't need many—three hundred will be enough to crush them swiftly with minimal losses!\" said Ram.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The subordinates were instantly swayed. \"Captain Ram, we follow your lead!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gates of Aojinmubao swung open. Amid the blare of ox-horn trumpets, three hundred tribal warriors howled as they charged out of camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh no, the savages are coming—run!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the savages closing in, the noble reluctantly abandoned the last cart still stuck in the mud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“All wheat—a whole cart of wheat!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ram and his men arrived, opened a sack, and confirmed the cargo of the second cart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chase them! The wine is what matters most—ha!” Ram grew even more excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, the tribal warriors pursued relentlessly while the noble’s group fled in disarray.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eventually, nearly every cart was abandoned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, the pursuers and the fleeing group were two and a half li apart from the camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“These damned nobles run too fast!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ram cursed under his breath. Though they had seized all the spoils, the noble’s group fled faster than monkeys.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They hadn’t even gotten to savor the blood of the noble army.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Captain Ram, the wheels on these carts seem broken!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Broken? Then carry them by hand—bring them back to camp first!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The savages weren’t skilled at repairing noble carts or tools. Watching the noble group still halted four or five hundred meters away,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ram decided to carry the cargo by hand—otherwise, once they left, the noble group would return to reclaim it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What Ram didn’t know was that, as his men gleefully began unloading the carts, a force of nearly three hundred had already launched a stealthy assault on Aojinmubao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ram decided to move the cargo by human labor, otherwise, as soon as they left, the noble convoy would return to seize the goods!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What Ram did not know was that, as they cheerfully began unloading the carts, a force of nearly three hundred men had already launched a surprise attack on Aojinmubao.\u003C\u002Fp>",1260,"2026-06-20T22:44:01.160Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","ac8c72b9367747a11028e9ea7d7faecc30d8f58c7b693a3f094e4f913d2baa7e","warlord-starting-with-daily-intelligence-chapter-148","warlord-starting-with-daily-intelligence-chapter-146",521,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwarlord-starting-with-daily-intelligence-cover.jpg"]
