less than five minutes later, he returned to the Graystone Heart region.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After carefully confirming no one was nearby, Gervas wasted no time and began chanting an odd language.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, if Tai Hao Jin were here, he’d realize Gervas was chanting standard Dragon Tongue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Summoning Art—activate!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon finishing the chant, Gervas sharply cried out and pointed his finger toward the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next instant, the spot he pointed to in the sky rippled violently, and the surrounding space began to warp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spatial distortion intensified, and with a hum, a black vortex appeared in midair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vortex was about three meters in diameter, continuously spewing purple-black mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not here yet?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gervas stared fixedly at the black vortex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he began to feel uneasy, a muffled boom suddenly echoed from the sky!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The muffled roar was thunderous, like lightning striking from a clear sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the moment the roar fell, a grayish-blue figure suddenly shot out from the black hole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the Hell Baron, who had been waiting five li away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the Hell Baron was wrapped in a red aura shield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His expression showed faint fear and confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially after exiting the vortex and seeing himself suspended forty to fifty meters above ground, beginning to plummet downward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Hell Baron’s fall was extremely rapid, even producing a shrill whistle; combined with the red shield, it truly resembled a meteor streaking down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground shuddered violently, accompanied by a massive cloud of dust and thunderous noise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gervas rushed forward and found the Hell Baron had landed, creating a crater over two meters deep and seven or eight meters wide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hell Baron!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“M…Master?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Hell Baron looked dazed, still stunned and unable to react.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only when he heard Gervas’s call did he slowly raise his head in bewilderment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hell Baron, are you alright?” Gervas exhaled inwardly—he at least looked unharmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He blamed himself for being reckless; he should’ve known better than to point upward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, this was his first time casting the spell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the texts stated that during summoning, a protective shield would safeguard the summoned being.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least ensuring no injury from falling over a hundred meters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what if the records were inaccurate?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or what if a being as massive as the Hell Baron weakened the shield’s protection?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this massive crater, the impact force must have been enormous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master, I… I’m fine, and I even feel a bit comfortable—warm!” the Hell Baron answered cautiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Good heavens! He was truly naive!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hell Baron, it was I who just summoned you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Remember the mark I implanted on you a few days ago? That’s the sigil allowing me to sense you anytime, anywhere, and summon you to my side!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“With it, whenever I need you in the future, I merely need to cast the Summoning Art to bring you instantly to me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So it was you summoning me, Master! That scared me half to death—but now I won’t fear it anymore!” The Hell Baron nodded, reassured after the explanation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gervas was amused by the Hell Baron’s simplemindedness. “By the way, Hell Baron—did you feel absolutely no discomfort during the entire summoning?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master, none at all. When I entered the black hole, it was just a blink, and I appeared in the sky here!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Besides, the sky view was a bit frightening—but the red light protected me, and I felt not a single injury!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Excellent!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gervas was now completely at ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This experiment proved his Summoning Art was ready for real combat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thought of being able to summon a helper equivalent to three Bai Yin Knights at any moment during battle filled him with delight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, after thinking it over, Gervas added one more request to the Hell Baron.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was, when summoned, to try to resemble a meteorite sphere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wasn’t merely for show.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was to lower the enemy’s guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My lord, you’ve finally returned! Just now, a group claiming to be from Eagle City arrived at the castle!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They say they carry the Kingdom’s conscription order. Master John is currently hosting them and sent me immediately to find you and deliver the news!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside Maitian Town, Gervas had just reached the town gate when he met Tomas, visibly anxious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gervas had learned of the conscription order through his intelligence network, but none of his subordinates knew anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And every conscription order meant a moment of crisis for everyone in the domain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Peasants need not be mentioned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In war, they were conscripted as cannon fodder—life or death on the battlefield depended entirely on luck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another group most dreaded war: the administrators like Tomas and old John.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their authority derived entirely from their lord.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If their lord suffered harm, their wealth and status would collapse overnight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, for them, the Kingdom’s annual conscription order was like a trial of death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Conscription order? Tomas, civil official, are you sure? Our lord only participated in the war against the western tribes a few months ago!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even if the Kingdom truly faces a major war, it certainly shouldn’t involve our lord!” Mi Gen and the other knights immediately voiced their doubts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Knight Mi Gen, I don’t know the details—Master John personally sent someone to inform me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Right now, that Eagle City group is waiting at the castle gate!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t panic—we’re heading back to the castle now!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gervas understood the gravity of the situation, calmed his subordinates, and headed straight for the castle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gervas knew full well; he calmed his subordinates and headed straight for the castle.\u003C\u002Fp>",1130,"2026-06-20T22:44:02.338Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","05d29a2e8fe001a7b6547c6a83144ed0ce7272b1d9cbb240b6492bc0e957fd34","warlord-starting-with-daily-intelligence-chapter-351","warlord-starting-with-daily-intelligence-chapter-349",521,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwarlord-starting-with-daily-intelligence-cover.jpg"]
