Ha ha, you wouldn’t believe how satisfying it was! My captain Mike and I saw it all clearly through our telescopes in the air!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well done, Migen. You’ve helped me vent my anger too!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My lord, it’s my duty! That damned fellow was far too arrogant—he dared to show such disrespect toward you!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gervas nodded. “I’m sure that fellow will behave himself from now on!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He must behave now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without his legs, he can no longer serve in the Eagle City Civil Office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, he has no value whatsoever to Willard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This fate is far more painful than death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the way, Migen, I have another task for you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My lord, what is it? Command me!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gervas pulled a letter from his chest. “I need you to go to the coast, board a ship, and head north to find the Austin family’s fleet…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That night!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Austin Family Naval Base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How is it? Any news?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Young Master Adams, we still have no news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What should we do? The expedition departs in just a few days—I’m running out of time!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Young Master Adams, is Lord Harry really in the south? Could this be a ruse? Maybe they’re coming from the north, circling around!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, directly south of our Austin Marquisate lies the Southern Border—every petty noble there, and not a single coastal lord has enough ships to afford a three-masted warship, let alone someone like Lord Harry!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, Deputy Commander Wolf, I believe it’s highly unlikely Lord Harry is coming from the north.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The farther north you go, the busier the maritime trade becomes. His three-masted warship would be impossible to hide—there’d be rumors everywhere!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But south of our Austin family, there’s almost no naval traffic—that’s how Lord Harry could keep his movements secret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, we still don’t know whether Lord Harry is a lord himself, or merely acting on his family’s behalf from a secret base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wolf listened and realized his young master’s reasoning was sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Young master, I’ll dispatch more ships deeper south to search for traces of Lord Harry!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adams was about to reply when suddenly, a voice rang from outside the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Report! Young Master Adams, Commander Wolf—the Flying Fish has returned! They report they encountered Lord Harry’s fleet!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Encountered Lord Harry’s ship? Really? Did you see Lord Harry himself? Did you deliver my letter to him?! Adams leapt to his feet in delight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Young Master Adams, the Flying Fish’s captain says he didn’t see Lord Harry himself—only one of Lord Harry’s subordinates. But he received this letter addressed to you from that subordinate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A letter for me? Bring him in at once!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the Flying Fish’s captain was brought into the study.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Greetings, Young Master Adams!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You truly encountered Lord Harry’s ship—and brought a letter from him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, Young Master Adams! This is the letter given to me by Lord Harry’s subordinate!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, the subordinate handed over the letter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adams took the letter, barely suppressing his excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, he still couldn’t confirm its authenticity—he had to open it to know for sure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Confirming the wax seal was intact, Adams didn’t delay—he opened the letter immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And as soon as he read the opening lines, he knew without doubt the letter was genuine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adams, as if seeing you in person—another month has passed since our last meeting!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I heard your Austin family has also been summoned by the Kingdom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I believe you are no longer the timid young lord who stood trembling on the sea cliffs, afraid to face hardship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, you’ll surely choose to join the conscription and head north to fight, won’t you?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, though this campaign is dangerous, it’s your best chance to solidify your position as heir!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And I know you’re well aware that since you proved yourself in the Austin Family Navy, your time is running out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before, your brother didn’t see you as much of a threat—he dared not use extreme measures to challenge you for the inheritance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, your demonstrated abilities have made him feel threatened—greatly threatened!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he’ll do everything he can to destroy you, just like the pirate alliance before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And next, his tactics may become even more dangerous—he might seek aid from the Hernade family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So now, you have no time, no retreat: either firmly secure your position as heir, or be utterly crushed by your brother with outside help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m certain you, Adams, will make the right choice between these two paths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, as your friend and business partner, I won’t stand idle while you’re in danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So in this northern campaign, if I get the chance, I’ll find a way to assist you—keep this half-medallion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later, if I send someone to find you in the north, this will be the token.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, I believe you’ve matured now—you can achieve glory in this northern campaign on your own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, Adams, let me wish you swift victory and a firm hold on your family’s heirship!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Your friend, Harry Potter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lord Harry!” After reading the letter, Adams’ hands trembled; his emotions surged and wouldn’t settle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt both shame and gratitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shame? That Lord Harry assumed he would surely join the Kingdom’s campaign.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the opposite was true—he’d hesitated endlessly, even sent ships to search for Lord Harry, hoping to ask for advice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wasn’t just cowardice—it was stupidity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lord Harry’s letter had clearly explained his own situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet he’d ignored it, even grown proud after defeating the pirate alliance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now he thought back: why had his brother suddenly stopped bothering him these past days?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not because he was ashamed after the pirate incident was crushed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But because he was biding his time, preparing a far deadlier scheme.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for Lord Harry’s letter, he’d still be blind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And at the end of the letter, Lord Harry promised to find a way to help him in the northern campaign!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a debt…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lord Harry! How can I ever repay you for this?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adams clutched the half-medallion tightly, his face filled with gratitude.\u003C\u002Fp>",1028,"2026-06-20T22:44:02.338Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","06f7de4e92f96a4a24a268f4a4f79ee1a10ce1c0a191ccf3f45e8384968556e5","warlord-starting-with-daily-intelligence-chapter-354","warlord-starting-with-daily-intelligence-chapter-352",521,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwarlord-starting-with-daily-intelligence-cover.jpg"]
