Retreat to the edge of Kala Mountain!” Toka shouted immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The number of merfolk charging toward Gervas and his men was simply too great; to Toka and his people, a hundred humans could never hold them off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kala Mountain was a submarine hill at the Bowa tribe’s border, with a hundred-meter drop, accessible only by a single path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If these humans could reach there and defend against Lada’s merfolk, they stood the best chance of victory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s all our fault—we couldn’t hold out longer. If we’d held just seven or eight more minutes, reinforcements would’ve arrived!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The wall hadn’t been breached yet then—the odds would’ve been better. I heard humans are especially skilled at wall battles!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Towa couldn’t help blaming himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But due to the battlefield noise, Gervas and his men couldn’t hear his shouts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It made him desperate, wishing he could fly over to warn them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Too bad—it was already too late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Far off, Gervas had already begun giving battle orders!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Iron Bear, you lead the charge—the archers will cover you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, my lord, leave it to our Black Bear warriors!” Iron Bear paid no mind to the enemy, nearly twenty times their number, ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brave men of the Black Bear tribe—kill!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next instant, Iron Bear led fifty savage warriors in a charge against the merfolk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the battle in the castle’s rear garden against the western barbarians, Gervas had grown even more attentive to the equipment of the Savage Bears and others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, all fifty savage warriors now wore full armor, and many of their leather hides gleamed with a silver sheen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This showed Gervas hadn’t merely patched together old, worn hides—he’d even dismantled brand-new, intact armor to sew into the savages’ gear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With their heavy leather armor and massive physiques, Iron Bear’s savage warriors unleashed terrifying combat power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fifty men lined up in a single row, charging like tanks, crashing straight into the merfolk army.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The short, stunted merfolk stood before the towering savage warriors like tiny puppies facing wild wolves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A single swing of their thick wooden spiked clubs sent four or five merfolk flying—no time to scream, they were crushed into pulp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even when merfolk attacks managed to pierce the savages, they struck only limbs, embedding themselves in shallow muscle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pain from these wounds only enraged the savages further, triggering even fiercer counterattacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the smarter merfolk trying to strike the savages’ torsos, their weapons couldn’t even leave a scratch on the hardened leather.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wasn’t a battle—it was a massacre.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This… is this really possible?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Iron Bear’s squad fight, the Bowa warriors on the wall, moments ago sunk in despair, stared in stunned silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chieftain… Chieftain, these humans are incredible! No wonder Young Master Waga said if we could bring humans, we’d be saved!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Incredible, truly incredible! I never expected Gervas had such monstrous giants! The Bowa tribe is saved!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Waga’s expression mirrored his father’s—face flushed with excitement. “Gervas, your… your men are amazing!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Haha, Waga, these are the savage warriors our lord specially recruited—savage warriors equipped with leather armor. Each suit of armor is worth five common soldiers’ gear—that’s five gold coins per suit!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So of course they’re incredibly powerful! According to our estimates, even cavalry couldn’t stand against these savages.” Before Gervas could answer, Migen proudly spoke up for his lord.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lord Gervas, however, maintained a calm demeanor. “They’re decent enough. After all, they have the advantage of sheer size. Alright, Migen, don’t stand there—join Knight Captain Lei Meng and help them. Finish these merfolk quickly!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, my lord!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some rejoiced, others despaired—the merfolk leaders on the wall, including Lada, watched in fury as the savages tore through their ranks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn it, how could they be this strong?” Lada muttered, disbelief twisting his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chieftain Lada, what do we do now? Our warrior merfolk are being slaughtered—if we keep fighting, we’ll be wiped out!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, Lada, you never mentioned humans were here! Now these powerful humans appear—it’s not part of our plan!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One by one, the merfolk leaders turned to Lada, demanding answers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lada nearly spat blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they thought there was profit to be had, none of them complained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that the enemy had powerful reinforcements and they were losing, they dared question him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lada was about to speak when another leader suddenly cried out: “Look! More humans are joining the fight—and that one has terrifying battle aura!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn it, that’s real battle aura—our men can’t withstand it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Run, everyone! We can’t win this! If we keep fighting, our warriors will all die!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, run now!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the blazing aura radiating from Lei Meng, the merfolk leaders instantly lost their will to fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For these weak races who had never mastered supernatural power, such forces inspired primal fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn it, don’t run! You all took part in invading the Bowa tribe—do you think they’ll spare you afterward?” Lada trembled with rage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These cowards were fleeing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Didn’t they realize that even if they escaped now, their tribal camps couldn’t vanish?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the merfolk leaders ignored Lada’s words entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In their eyes, escaping now was all that mattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially the two other merfolk bands Lada had persuaded to join—they believed themselves far enough from the Bowa to avoid retaliation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ooooh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The battlefield echoed with the sound of conch shells.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The merfolk still fighting froze for a moment—then, like a retreating tide, they scattered in all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speed was the savages’ only weakness, so chasing fleeing merfolk was out of the question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Waga, which merfolk is Chieftain Lada?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gervas, that coward Lada is over there!” Waga immediately pointed to a merfolk leader also running for his life.\u003C\u002Fp>",1013,"2026-06-20T22:44:02.338Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","6bdf2b59bf8c8f6758fd9e897592627aa2632f8e67e78c018325a449926647b3","warlord-starting-with-daily-intelligence-chapter-227","warlord-starting-with-daily-intelligence-chapter-225",521,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwarlord-starting-with-daily-intelligence-cover.jpg"]
