Magic Swift Eagle Squad, take off!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, eleven Magic Swift Eagles ascended into the dark night sky, carrying twenty-two people including Lei Meng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they rose over a hundred meters, the Magic Swift Eagles leveled off and glided toward the valley ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Notably, there were no baskets beneath the Magic Swift Eagles—only thick hemp ropes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This minimized weight to the extreme, allowing two people per bird.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since all the savages’ attention was fixed on Lam and the others far away, the rear half of the camp had no guards at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lei Meng and his squad landed smoothly in the camp with the help of the Magic Swift Eagles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was only then that the savages returning with loot noticed something was wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, this was a narrow valley; the sound of flapping wings would inevitably be detected with time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Look! What’s that in the sky?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s a beast—a flying beast! No! There are people on it! They’re noble aerial knights! Sound the alarm!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding! Ding! Ding!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within moments, the bell tolls rang incessantly inside the wooden fortress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Magic Swift Eagle Squad, engage!\" Eflan didn’t hesitate, ordering her squad to begin combat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Magic Swift Eagles immediately climbed higher, reaching sixty meters before swooping toward the front of the fortress and launching arrows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though at this height, accuracy suffered—especially in darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the savages’ dozens of archers, due to their own weight constraints, fired arrows with drastically reduced power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time they reached fifty or sixty meters, the arrows grew light and feeble, posing no threat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, screams erupted across the wooden walls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who’s there?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As several savages fell wounded by arrows, over twenty more burst forth from behind the fortress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the savages had noticed the Magic Swift Eagle Squad, they hadn’t realized another knight squad had infiltrated simultaneously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Caught utterly off guard, they were terrified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The ones here to clean you up!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lei Meng, Mi Gen, and the other knights gave the savages no time to react—they swung their longswords down upon them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though these savages were no weaklings, stronger than ordinary human soldiers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet under the assault of Lei Meng, Mi Gen, and their knight retainers, they had no defense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kill!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not done yet, over two hundred soldiers and pirate slaves who had stealthily crept close now rose from the grass upon hearing the battle cries and charged the fortress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Open the fortress gate! I’ll hold them off!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Lei Meng immediately ordered his knight retainers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Knight-Lord!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Lei Meng and Mi Gen fought fiercely, the knight retainers swiftly reached the back of the fortress gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They removed the heavy wooden bolt, and the massive gate creaked open slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kill!\" The pirates surged ahead, rushing into the fortress and joining the fray.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From this point, the battle for Aojinmubao was no longer in doubt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s going on?

Shut up, all of you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, on the wilderness two li away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lam and his savages had just unloaded several barrels of wine and dozens of sacks of wheat, preparing to carry them off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But faint noises drifted through the night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As his men fell silent, the sounds grew clearer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, Lam’s face darkened—he turned toward Aojinmubao. \"Damn it! That’s the alarm bell and battle cries! We’ve been tricked! Move out!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, Lam and his men desperately sprinted toward the fortress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others paused, then followed in a run.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some men carrying loot hesitated. \"Lord Lam, what about the wheat and beer?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fools! Forget the wheat and beer—get back now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lam was frantic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, shouts came from behind!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Slave Squad, follow me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lam turned to see the noble who had earlier cowered now charging after them with his men.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lam didn’t dare stop—his fortress was the priority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet as Lam drew closer to the fortress, his heart grew colder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The alarm bells had stopped. The battle cries were fading.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The meaning was clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Either the enemy had been wiped out… or the tribe’s warriors had been wiped out…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These human nobles set a treacherous trap to lure us away—would their force attacking the camp be so easily destroyed?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clip-clop! Clip-clop!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, hoofbeats rang ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking up, he saw six knights charging toward him with nearly two hundred men, emerging from the fortress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they reached a hundred meters, they halted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where are my men?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lam’s eyes burned red as he stared at the opposing knights—he already sensed the truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Savage tribe, the fortress is ours. Surrender!\" Lei Meng spoke no more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll kill you treacherous nobles!\" Lam roared. \"Tribe warriors, charge! Kill them all! Avenge our fallen!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, Lam and his warriors still believed they could win.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fueled by rage, three hundred savage warriors charged forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brave men of Stormhold, charge with me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lei Meng didn’t hold back—he raised his lance and led the Storm Legion into a charge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom! Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though only six warhorses, the Fire Horses’ power was overwhelming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Combined with the grim faces of Lei Meng, Mi Gen, and the other knights, their six-man squad pierced the savage charge like a blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Puff! Puff! Puff!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sounds of flesh being pierced echoed—the savages’ bodies impaled by lances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of the six knights, only Lei Meng’s lance was iron.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mi Gen and the other five wielded wooden lances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After piercing several enemies, the wooden shafts finally shattered under overload.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Mi Gen and the others dropped their broken lances and drew their longswords to fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind them, the pirates and Storm soldiers surged forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two sides clashed violently on the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Slave Squad, kill!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gervas and his men, who had been chasing from behind, arrived swiftly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Splash! Splash!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not done yet—the Magic Swift Eagle Squad now dove from the sky, precisely picking off savage warriors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No! What unit are you? How do you have aerial knights?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching his enemies not only fight with exceptional infantry strength but also possess aerial knights, Lam roared in despair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For under the merciless slaughter of these elite foes,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the hope of victory he still clung to vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His surrounding tribe warriors fell one by one into pools of blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What had been a balanced fight became a one-sided massacre.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Puff!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Lei Meng had always been grim in battle—his only reply to Lam was his sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seizing an opening, he slashed down upon Lam’s neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ugh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lam stiffened, clutching his throat in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his hands could not stop the gushing blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud. Lam collapsed, his tribal tattoos fading as his severed throat hissed with each breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lying on the ground, he danced his final, violent death-dance.\u003C\u002Fp>",1112,"2026-06-20T22:44:01.160Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","e1ba02607c642fd4a4214ab47d453d30012285f906dcac81aa236a80bc606bae","warlord-starting-with-daily-intelligence-chapter-149","warlord-starting-with-daily-intelligence-chapter-147",521,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwarlord-starting-with-daily-intelligence-cover.jpg"]
