But didn’t you hear my men just now? I have the sons of those tribal chieftains in my possession!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mi En and the others had indeed heard it—“But Baron Graviss, while these tribal chieftain’s sons may make the soldiers hesitate for now—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Once other tribal armies arrive, they won’t hesitate anymore, because I’ve heard there are rifts among the tribes themselves!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So right now, relying on just one tribal chieftain’s son, fleeing the encirclement is the safest path—returning to the rear camp won’t save Commander Narsei; it’s practically walking into a trap!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be fair, Baron Mi En’s analysis was impeccable, and the surrounding noble vassals immediately nodded in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Catherine never spoke—she sensed, given Graviss’s nature, he wouldn’t make such a grave mistake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, Graviss laughed and said: “Who said I have only one tribal chieftain’s son?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not just one? Could it be three or four?” Mi En and the two knights stared, no wonder Graviss was so confident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Too few—be bolder!” Graviss shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uh… five or six? Surely not seven or eight?” Mi En and the others were stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hah! Baron Mi En, my lord captured a total of seventeen tribal chieftain’s heirs—and all of them are the designated successors!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gasp!” Mi En and the others widened their eyes, drawing in sharp breaths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were only about seventeen or eighteen tribes invading the kingdom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Graviss had seized every single tribal chieftain’s heir—every last one of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How on earth did he manage that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Baron Graviss, how did you do it? Did they just stand on the road and let you capture them?” Mi En and the others were speechless with shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Catherine, beside him, her eyes gleamed, waiting for Graviss’s explanation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if these heirs were roadside weeds, they weren’t that easy to pluck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Baron Mi En, Lady Catherine, these tribal heirs weren’t snatched off the road—my lord led us deep into their tribal camps, drove off their guards and garrisons, and only then took them captive!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course, the tribal army had indeed launched a full-scale assault on the main camp—but we still fought hard for it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Graviss could speak, Migen answered Qiangxian .\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, such a glorious feat couldn’t be reduced to picking weeds by the roadside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Storming the tribal army’s camp…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mi En and the others were speechless, mouths gaping wide as O’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, even if poorly defended, it was still the enemy’s main camp!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just good luck, perhaps blessed by the God of Glory!” Graviss was remarkably humble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more humble he became, the more Catherine—accustomed to arrogant noble sons—admired him, her eyes sparkling with renewed interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Baron Graviss, Lady Catherine, look—there’s shouting up ahead at the fork!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More than ten minutes later, a side path appeared to the left, and faint cries of battle reached their ears, triggering immediate alert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Looks like we’ve arrived!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Graviss knew well—it was almost certainly the battle described in the intelligence: five nobles fighting tribal soldiers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Mi En and the others grew even more curious: “Baron Graviss, who are those people ahead? Why did you come specifically to rescue them?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Graviss didn’t hide it: “I don’t actually know who they are—but they’re extremely important to us.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uh… Baron Graviss, why do I feel everything you’re saying today is so cryptic?” Mi En groaned, his brain already overloaded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Graviss dropped the riddle: “Didn’t Catherine say earlier that Fariao, that despicable man, would surely face retribution? If we save the people ahead, Fariao’s retribution will come to pass!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Catherine’s eyes instantly lit up; Mi En’s face flushed with excitement—they finally understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Baron Graviss, are those people ahead nobles who escaped from the left-wing army?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exactly. According to the Magic Swift Eagle’s report, there are five nobles there—almost certainly survivors from the left-wing army. If we rescue them, they’ll testify against Fariao.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then what are we waiting for, Baron Graviss? Let’s go save them!” Mi En and the others were desperate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Fariao wasn’t just annoying to their Violet Family—he was a matter of their entire family’s future rise or fall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It concerned the very fate of the Violet Family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rescue of the five nobles proceeded without incident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Graviss’s group arrived just in time—the five nobles had only just been spotted by the tribal soldiers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The attacking tribal force was a small unit of fewer than two hundred men; Graviss’s charge shattered them instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Baron Graviss!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After rescuing them, Graviss was surprised to recognize someone among the survivors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Baron Mil, Baron Hank!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mil, of course, was Graviss’s neighbor; Baron Hanke, though farther away, he’d met before drinking outside Silver Shield City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Baron Graviss, we’re eternally grateful—if not for you, we’d be dead here!” Mil and Hanke’s eyes were wet with emotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To see these barons nearly weep with relief, one could imagine the torment they’d endured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Calm down—you’re safe now. Sit, drink some water. By the way, where’s Baron Kain? Wasn’t he with you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Graviss remembered Kain had been with the left-wing army—but he scanned the group and saw no trace of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the question, Mil, who had just calmed down, grew agitated again: “Baron Graviss, it’s all that shameless bastard Fariao!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He killed Baron Kain, he killed Commander Brick, he killed every noble in the left-wing army—we must make Fariao pay!”\u003C\u002Fp>",973,"2026-06-20T22:44:01.160Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","2489f5a568bf9ab70084f452988a3fa9d49a363e4254ceae414e146a3c1cde3c","warlord-starting-with-daily-intelligence-chapter-162","warlord-starting-with-daily-intelligence-chapter-160",521,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwarlord-starting-with-daily-intelligence-cover.jpg"]
