Zhuoyue, has your transformation succeeded?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Roar!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhuoyue let out another long neigh, affirming it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Besides growing taller and larger, have you changed in any other way?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Roar!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come up and try!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhuoyue neighed again, repeatedly nudging its own saddle, eager and impatient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gervas sensed its intent through his thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Could it be that grown Zhuoyue now has enough strength to carry me through the air?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gervas wasted no time—he leapt and mounted the horse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Roar!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ready, Master!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Gervas could react further, Zhuoyue surged violently into the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, its massive white wings unfurled, and Gervas felt himself lift off—the ground below shrank rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hah! It really can fly! Finally, I’m flying!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the castle shrink below and the servants below become like ants, Gervas burst into laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he had flown in airplanes in his past life, flying inside a cabin was worlds apart from soaring openly through the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And with the narrow saddle, for someone timid, it was no different than standing on the edge of a hundred-zhang cliff and looking down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This feeling? Totally thrilling!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master, am I awesome?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhuoyue’s neigh came again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Awesome, Zhuoyue! You’re the most incredible flying beast I’ve ever seen—no exceptions!” Gervas became a master of praise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhuoyue had never experienced 21st-century PUA tactics—it immediately perked up like it’d been injected with adrenaline, twisting and diving through the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, they circled above the soldiers’ training ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Captain Lei Meng was the first to sense something odd—he looked up in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first glance, he paid it no mind; Zhuoyue often flew in the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But on a second, closer look, “Is that Master Gervas?! Master Gervas is flying in the sky!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What? Master Gervas is flying in the sky?” Hearing this, Mi Gen and the others turned their eyes upward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They then saw their lord waving at them from midair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It really is Master Gervas flying!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master Gervas has flown to the heavens! Master Gervas is mighty!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master Gervas has flown to the heavens...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn! Gervas silently exclaimed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why did those cheers sound so weird?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After circling in the air for over ten minutes, Gervas finally landed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His subordinates immediately gathered around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Lei Meng suddenly noticed something odd: “This... Master, Zhuoyue’s horn...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lei Meng’s shocked, wide-eyed expression puzzled Mi Gen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Captain Lei Meng, it’s just one extra horn—why are you so startled? That horn doesn’t seem to add much combat power!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lei Meng rolled his eyes. “Mi Gen, do you know what a unicorn is?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A unicorn?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exactly—a flying horse with a horn is no longer just a flying horse, but a unicorn. In the entire kingdom, only His Majesty the King owned one. Now, if Zhuoyue is one too...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mi Gen was stunned. “A flying horse with a horn is a unicorn—the King alone had one in the whole kingdom, and now our Master has one too? That means he’s on par with the King...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Enough, don’t be so astonished. I obtained Zhuoyue because you all contributed!” Gervas immediately soothed them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master, congratulations on acquiring a unicorn!” Mi Gen and the others quickly offered their congratulations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a few more compliments, Gervas turned to serious matters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He ordered them to train until noon, then rest and prepare for his upcoming assignment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though they didn’t know what the task was, seeing Gervas’s solemn tone, his subordinates dared not slack off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After giving instructions to Lei Meng and the others, Gervas swiftly summoned Thomas and John.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thomas, immediately organize people to gather ropes and weave large nets!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Large nets? Master, what size should each be, and how many do you need?” Thomas asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Each net should be about twenty square meters, and the gaps only need to be wide enough to cover a horse!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As for quantity, the more the better—no fewer than twenty nets. I need them all ready by noon! Thomas, can you arrange this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thomas immediately puffed out his chest. “Master, I will complete this task before noon! In the past, many people in the village fished on the Duonao River—they definitely know how to weave fishing nets!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good. This task is yours,” Gervas nodded, then turned to Old John. “John, accompany Thomas to the village and select twenty people who can swim and dive. We’re going to Tianehu.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, Master!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, twenty people who could swim and dive were brought forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gervas wasted no time—he immediately led them to Tianehu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They arrived directly at the area where he’d previously collected the Caiyitiane  eggs—the small spring, barely ten centimeters from the shore, still flowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did you see that spring? Send a few people over to check its size and water depth.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, Master!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, three of the most skilled swimmers and divers jumped into the lake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments later, they surfaced again. “Master, the water there is about two men deep. Beneath the surface, after clearing away ten-centimeter-thick silt, there’s a crack about the length of a palm—the spring water flows from that crack!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If I ask you to expand that crack five times its size, how long will it take?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three exchanged glances. “Master, if twenty people take turns diving, we can finish before nightfall!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you certain?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master, I would never dare deceive you!” The slave’s face paled—he immediately knelt and swore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good. Then, you twenty will take turns digging and expanding the spring. Remember: by nightfall, it must be at least five palm-widths wide!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you complete it, each of you will receive one jin of smoked meat and a loaf of black bread. Understood?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, Master’s grace! We will surely fulfill your command!” The slaves erupted in excitement—three jin of smoked meat was a heavenly gift for slaves who rarely tasted meat all year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gervas then left immediately, leaving the site to Old John, who would supervise the slaves and arrange their lunch and logistics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not long after Gervas returned to the castle, Thomas found him, saying a man claiming to be from the Tulip Caravan had arrived in the village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was publicly buying large quantities of animal pelts—from common rabbit hides to rare brown bear or tiger and leopard pelts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master, the caravan man said that normally rabbit pelts sell for ten copper coins each, but they’re offering eleven. Tiger pelts, usually thirty silver coins, they’re offering thirty-three.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Besides that, they’ve brought a large stock of medicines, herbs, iron, and grain—all available for direct barter!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gervas realized this matched one of the system’s intelligence reports.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thomas, I understand about the pelts. Tell the caravan man that our Stormhold will deliver a large batch tomorrow—make sure they wait for us!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh? Master, do we have that many pelts?” Thomas froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We will tomorrow. Thomas, just repeat my exact words to them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, Master!” Thomas didn’t hesitate—he hurried out of the castle.\u003C\u002Fp>",1159,"2026-06-20T22:44:01.160Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","742e92f502af4af254d9bcd84ffac614addb2b5a71898c5049d83ee08e92a208","warlord-starting-with-daily-intelligence-chapter-38","warlord-starting-with-daily-intelligence-chapter-36",521,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwarlord-starting-with-daily-intelligence-cover.jpg"]
