The orcs ran! We’ve won!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’ve won! We repelled the orcs! Bravo!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, cheers erupted throughout the camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, these cheers did not come from Gervas’s men.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gervas’s men were veterans who had weathered storms long ago; they no longer cheered over such minor victories.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These cheering voices all came from Mil and the others’ subordinates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, it wasn’t just the guards ecstatic—Mil, Ian, and the other barons were equally beaming, as thrilled as if they’d won a massive battle with tens of thousands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hah! So satisfying! Truly satisfying! Gervas, we actually defeated the orcs!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes! Gervas, listening to you was right—we actually won! This is a major achievement!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gentlemen, we are not yet victorious,” Gervas said, his expression still calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not yet victorious? Don’t joke, Gervas—look at all these dead minotaurs on the ground! At least eighty or ninety orcs!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You don’t know—scalps from northern orcs are the most valuable. Each is worth at least a gold coin, because they’re so hard to kill!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exactly, Gervas—with so many scalps, we’re bound to be rewarded! After all, these past weeks, the south has heard nothing but news of our kingdom’s legions being crushed by orcs!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Mil suddenly realized something and smirked, “I get it! You’re afraid we’ll steal your credit, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry—we know the rules. We won’t take your credit. These orcs were mostly killed by you and your men; we only assisted.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course, to make it look good, we’ll each take five or six scalps for show—one gold coin per scalp—we know the rules!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, Mil and the others had misunderstood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gervas wasn’t generous, but he wasn’t stingy either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he was eating meat, he’d certainly let them have some broth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The real question was—was this tiny amount of merit really worth such joy?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gentlemen, we’ll discuss merit distribution later. My point is—do you really think this little achievement is enough?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gervas, what do you mean?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What do I mean?” Gervas smiled faintly. “There are still eight or nine hundred orcs over there. Don’t you want to get a few more?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This… isn’t that too risky?” The men were stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Killing a few orcs in the camp had already made them ecstatic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now Gervas wanted to go to the main camp—where eight or nine hundred orcs waited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No risk at all! We charge now, kill another one or two hundred orcs, and we’ll likely drive them off.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then how do you count this merit? Defeating over a thousand orcs and rescuing the main camp?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mil and the others’ hearts pounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The merit was indeed tempting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But their doubts remained: “But Gervas, can we really pull this off?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“With me, it’s certain.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The men fell silent, then took a deep breath. “Alright, Gervas—we trust you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, Mil and the others halted their cheering troops, left the battlefield uncleaned, and each sent two-thirds of their men to follow Gervas toward the main camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, they reached the outer edge of the main camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the orcs attacking the main camp had all surged past the palisade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the camp, shouts of battle mixed with towering flames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When we move, do this…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lord Gervas, will this work… I mean, will the orcs fall for it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course they will. You saw the orcs who attacked our camp—they flew into a rage the moment they saw their kin killed by humans.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Take these orc scalps and lure them. No orc can resist.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But remember—don’t carry too many. Too many are hard to control.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Understood, Gervas!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Commander Lein, think of something quick!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s no other way—we must keep fighting these orcs!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But how many of our men will we lose?” The nobles were nearly jumping out of their skins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had indeed held the orcs back, preventing them from breaching the camp’s core and causing chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But their losses were enormous—seven or eight hundred peasant soldiers and elite guards were already dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the orcs, only dozens had been wounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judging by the situation, these orcs could keep fighting for a while longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If that happened, their losses would be catastrophic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So the lesser nobles, hearts aching, begged Commander Lein to find a solution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No matter how many die, we must hold! If we retreat now, the orcs will gain even greater advantage—and we’ll suffer even heavier losses!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Commander Lein, that’s not what we mean. We’re asking—can you summon all your legion guards? Their equipment is superior; they’re far more effective than our peasants!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No. The vanguard has only two thousand legion guards—half are already engaged. The other thousand must be held in reserve.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The nobles grieved for their peasant soldiers; Commander Lein grieved just as much for his legion guards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But Commander Lein, our peasant soldiers have already suffered so many losses!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If this continues, we might lose three or four thousand!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gentlemen, losses are unavoidable. The fact that we detected the orc ambush early is already a stroke of luck.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you think the northern third of our territory was lost because our northern legions were cowardly? It was lost because the orcs are simply too strong!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Didn’t you hear the rumors that our northern legions were incompetent? Now do you see the orcs’ true strength?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The nobles fell silent. Two days ago, outside Black Dragon City, they had indeed mocked the northern legions’ incompetence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You green bastards—look over here!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a shout reached their ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s going on?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We don’t know!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The nobles froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But scanning the battlefield, they saw no source for the shout.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Green monsters—over here! Behind you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t just the nobles who were puzzled—every orc in battle was equally curious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They knew full well that “green skins” and “green monsters” were human slurs for their own minotaur kind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as they called humans “two-legged sheep.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Roar! Roar! Roar!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this second taunt, the orcs finally spotted the two-legged sheep taunting them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when they saw what those two-legged sheep held in their hands, their fury exploded!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damned two-legged sheep—you dare insult our orc warriors like this!”\u003C\u002Fp>",1019,"2026-06-20T22:44:02.338Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","0bdc208132330a5c1c8aa223d102a81b90249c583511f1c789e59ef119baf408","warlord-starting-with-daily-intelligence-chapter-368","warlord-starting-with-daily-intelligence-chapter-366",521,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwarlord-starting-with-daily-intelligence-cover.jpg"]
