We cannot flee—have you forgotten that Wilard is still watching us from behind?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If he gets hold of any leverage, he won’t let us go easily!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Besides, haven’t you forgotten that I already had everyone build a sturdy wall during the day? Staying inside this hollow is actually safer than rushing out!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gervas, if it were just a hundred or so barbarians, we wouldn’t be so afraid!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But can you be sure the main camp can hold against the barbarian assault? If they break and flee, we’ll be trapped here!” Mil and the others still hesitated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gentlemen, they spotted the barbarians early and prevented a surprise attack—they won’t collapse!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So this is actually a good opportunity—if we can kill a few more barbarians now, the glory will be ours!\" Gervas continued to encourage them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing Gervas’s words, the men indeed abandoned their idea of fleeing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If that’s the case, Gervas, we’ll follow your lead!” Mil and the others spoke solemnly to Gervas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that very moment, Laurens’s voice rang out from the wooden wall: “My lord, the barbarians are here! Less than one hundred and fifty meters away!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Everyone, prepare for battle! But before that, put on your leather armor!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gervas scanned the men up and down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mil and the others immediately flushed with shame and quickly donned their armor with their subordinates’ help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then they climbed onto the wooden wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Roar! Roar! Roar!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Two-legged sheep, tremble! The barbarian warriors have come! We shall bathe our bodies in your blood and grow stronger!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Far off, Barto let out a ferocious roar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although their leader’s order was merely to hold back the humans in this hollow, meaning they didn’t need to approach the wall,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Barto, who held no regard for two-legged sheep, intended to launch a direct assault and slaughter them thoroughly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing such fierce, fearless barbarians, Mil and the others—who had just been calmed by Gervas—paled again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their serf soldiers trembled as well, each body shaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Gervas looked at the barbarians outside as if they were fools.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“These fools think a hundred men can take down our force of over three thousand? Are their brains broken?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Gervas didn’t hold back: “Bow-and-crossbow team, show them what for!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By my lord’s order, bow-and-crossbow team—aim… fire!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amid shrill whistles, fifty archers launched their first volley of mounted shots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud! Thud! Thud!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Roar! Roar! Roar!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least eighty percent of the arrows struck the charging barbarians.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet what surprised Gervas was—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even after being hit by arrows, these barbarians didn’t cry out; instead, they grew angrier, roaring like wild beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The total casualties from this first volley were only two unlucky barbarians.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn it, this feels just like those Japanese soldiers from my past life’s WWII!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gervas thought these barbarians were as insane as the Japanese on Iwo Jima—utterly unhinged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“These barbarians are madmen. No wonder even the Northern Legion couldn’t defeat them!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes! Damn it, don’t they feel pain?!” Mil and the others were terrified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They weren’t cowards, but they’d never seen barbarians this brutal before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though there were barbarians in the Chaos Wastelands, they screamed in agony when hurt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But these green-skinned beastmen merely grunted, then turned pain into roars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was chilling to watch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Madmen? Let’s see just how mad they are.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gervas remained calm, sneered, and gave another order: “Ballistae crew! Show them a real lesson!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By my lord’s order, ballistae—aim… fire!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whirr! Whirr! Whirr!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next instant, five thunderous whirs echoed from beneath the wooden wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To Mil and the others’ stunned eyes, five thick, monstrous arrows shot out from five pre-cut holes toward the barbarians.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud! Thud! Thud!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood sprayed, beasts toppled—yes, barbarians fell over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The barbarians who had previously roared through two or three arrows unharmed now lost that ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the massive bolts struck, they collapsed like deflated skins, instantly losing strength and being dragged backward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thick arrows, after piercing the first barbarian, didn’t stop—they pierced at least two or three more behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, these five massive bolts claimed at least seventeen barbarians.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This… this power is too much!” Mil and the others stared wide-eyed, nearly popping their eyeballs out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They’d seen the servants assemble these things after dinner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since no bowstrings or bolts had been fitted then, no one paid much attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only now, witnessing its power firsthand, did they realize it was divine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is called a ballista—I found the blueprint accidentally overseas and replicated it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Actually, it’s just a giant crossbow!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gervas was surprisingly humble, dismissing it casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the envy in Mil and the others’ eyes revealed how much weight this ballista carried in their minds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Roar! Roar! Roar!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damned two-legged sheep, I’ll tear you apart!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Barto outside the wall was furious, eyes bulging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More than a dozen barbarian warriors had been wiped out in an instant by these damned two-legged sheep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could he face his leader after this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He must crush these two-legged sheep, wash away this shame with their blood and flesh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The barbarians had now reached thirty meters from the wall; ballistae needed time to reload—they couldn’t stop the barbarians from closing in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Everyone, order the soldiers to prepare for combat!” Gervas warned Mil and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Understood, Gervas.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mil and the others wasted no time, shouting orders to their subordinates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the serf soldiers trembled, with their lord watching personally, they gritted their teeth and gripped their weapons, ready to fight!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Roar! Charge! Tear them apart!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Roar! Roar! Kill!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the barbarians reached the base of the wall—the makeshift wooden ladders were raised against it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Undeniably, the barbarians' courage was immense; despite their small numbers, their spirit surpassed that of the noble soldiers atop the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Gervas loved nothing more than fools who charged blindly, relying only on brute force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he shouted again: “Spear troops!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By my lord’s order, spear troops—raise your spears!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the spear troops raised their spears in unison and gently thrust them forward against the wall, a row of small holes appeared on the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These holes, fist-sized, were perfect for spears to thrust through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Spear troops—thrust!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kill!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud! Thud! Thud!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spears pierced through the wall, blood blossomed—barbarians crowded at the base, unprepared, were instantly impaled through the body, at least twenty-plus killed in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Roar, bastards!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Barto’s roar came again—these humans were treacherous! They’d pre-drilled holes in the wall and even blocked them with wood to hide them, leaving the barbarians unaware.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now he was in a frenzy, no longer caring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mind held only one thought: kill every last two-legged sheep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would douse his rage in their blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Charge! Charge forward! Kill every two-legged sheep!” Barto screamed hoarsely!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that very moment, something he never expected happened—the humans on the wall shouted: “Open the gate! Let’s fight these barbarians head-on!”\u003C\u002Fp>",1139,"2026-06-20T22:44:02.338Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","b5ecd8fce30534479b5acd37d17cc2f8e902416b3941e1806eaa1f03b2c459bd","warlord-starting-with-daily-intelligence-chapter-366","warlord-starting-with-daily-intelligence-chapter-364",521,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwarlord-starting-with-daily-intelligence-cover.jpg"]
