Whatever we gain, we split equally!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lada turned to the six tribal chieftains surrounding him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several chieftains nodded: “Warriors, charge! Kill every Buwa man except Toka!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wooaa! Wooaa! Kill!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, over two thousand merfolk surged forward toward the Buwa tribe’s wooden wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the Buwa tribe had a wall made of coconut trees and giant clamshells, fewer than three hundred defenders stood atop it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faced with the tidal wave of attackers, many Buwa warriors turned pale with terror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Buwa warriors, we have no retreat left! They seek to steal our wealth, kill us and our women and children—fight them to the death!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Toka knew victory was impossible, but as he himself said, they had no retreat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lada would never spare them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, the bloody clash between the sea tribes began.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet their weapons and armor were truly primitive, so the battle lacked the grandeur and might of human regular armies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All one could see was a horde of merfolk howling as they scaled the wooden wall, while defenders thrust bone spears to repel them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disparity in numbers was too great—soon, the Buwa defense began to crumble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within mere minutes, more and more enemies leapt onto the Buwa wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ha! Toka, see? You’ve lost—now do you regret it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lada, I, Toka, will never regret it—the Sea God will punish you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmph? No regret? Then I’ll make you regret it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the main gate of the Buwa camp was opened from within, Lada and the chieftains charged straight into the camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stood beside a Buwa woman trembling in terror, slowly raising his bone knife.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Toka, I said I’d kill every woman and child in your tribe one by one. Since you claim no regret, let me show you first!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lada, you’re a demon! Women and children are innocent! The Sea God will punish you!” Toka’s eyes bulged with rage, but he was surrounded by merfolk soldiers and powerless to act.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lada wanted nothing more than to shatter Toka’s spirit, so he could force the secret of wealth from him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, grinning savagely, he raised his bone knife to its highest point—about to bring it down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the knife was about to fall, a sharp whistling sound pierced the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crack! Lada’s bone knife trembled violently, nearly slipping from his grip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face darkened: “Damn it—what’s going on?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in response came more whistling sounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plop! Plop! Plop!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aaaah! Aaaah!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sharp sounds of arrows piercing flesh echoed, followed by waves of screams.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The merfolk soldiers on the wall fell like toppled blocks—over twenty of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Closer inspection revealed each was pierced by arrows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This… these aren’t human arrows?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lada was no stranger—he had once visited the northern human port.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had seen the might of human soldiers there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this was the ocean floor…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bad news, Chief! Outside… outside there are hundreds of humans and giant monsters!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A soldier on the wall suddenly screamed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Humans and giant monsters? That’s impossible!” Lada nearly thought he’d misheard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the arrows proved everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ha! Waga’s back! Waga really brought the Gervas humans! Buwa warriors, our reinforcements have arrived!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Lada struggled to believe it, Toka was overjoyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Waga had returned—and he’d truly brought human reinforcements!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Toka, I understand now—you’ve made contact with humans?!” Lada finally grasped the reason the Buwa tribe had grown wealthy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of this must be tied to the humans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet humans had always been hostile toward merfolk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing merfolk, they immediately sent soldiers to drive them away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So how could the Buwa tribe possibly have established contact with humans?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lada, yes—the Buwa tribe has made contact with humans. And compared to them, you, your own kind, are the true devils!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lada’s face flushed red and white—he abandoned the trembling Buwa woman and rushed to the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Atop the wall, he saw over a hundred figures outside the camp… no, half of them looked human, but why were they so tall?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They resembled monsters more than men.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lada, what do we do?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The nearby chieftains turned to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, they knew the humans’ power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Humans had sharp weapons, heavy armor, and terrifying strength!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s to fear? We’re underwater! Those humans and giants together number barely a hundred—we have over two thousand!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s right! Only a hundred humans and giants!” The chieftains snapped back to their senses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On land, human soldiers were countless—they dared not stand against them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But here, underwater, only a hundred humans? No need to fear!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So, gentlemen, let’s eliminate the humans and giants together. Look at their weapons and armor—kill them, and those treasures become ours!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the chieftains’ fear fade, Lada urged them on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good! We’ll split the spoils! Wooaa!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chieftains’ eyes gleamed with greed—they thought the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Merfolk warriors, kill those humans first! Reward: one female slave for every human killed!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wooaa! Wooaa! Kill!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, most of the merfolk broke off and charged toward Gervas’s group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gervas, they’re coming!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Waga’s face turned pale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not because he feared for himself—but because he feared Gervas’s group couldn’t hold, and they’d all be doomed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d planned to lead Gervas inside the camp and defend together behind the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the camp had already fallen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Waga, don’t worry—leave them to my men!” Gervas smiled calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>",969,"2026-06-20T22:44:02.338Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","e8f474777d24b85ca92a16c17a98c1aa1ae3d801a99b2eacc20ee80d21316621","warlord-starting-with-daily-intelligence-chapter-226","warlord-starting-with-daily-intelligence-chapter-224",521,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwarlord-starting-with-daily-intelligence-cover.jpg"]
