Chapter 386: Lord Harry's Intelligence!

"Important intelligence? Don't miss it?"

Staring blankly as the strange knight bowed and left, Adams felt a bit disappointed, having failed to get any news about Lord Harry.

However, thinking that the envelope in his hand contained intelligence from Lord Harry that could help him, his eyes filled with expectation again.

Quickly returning to the camp, after confirming the wax seal was intact, Adams began to read.

Upon finishing the letter in his hand, Adams suddenly shot up from his chair.

"Tonight, over a thousand orcs and several thousand servant troops will attack the Grey Shiqiao checkpoint? Their target is Baron Mill of the Vanguard Camp?"

Adams did not doubt the truth of the news in the letter at all; this was given by Lord Harry.

Thus, the orcs taking the initiative to attack left him both surprised and delighted.

He was surprised that the orcs actually wanted to kill Baron Mill, who had only recently become famous.

He was delighted that, now knowing the news in advance, he could not only prevent such an event from happening but also achieve merit through it.

"Lord Harry said this matter absolutely cannot be publicized, because besides him, only I know. There are orc spies within the human ranks; if made public, it might cause the orcs to discover the problem and stop!"

A thousand orcs and several thousand servant troops—this is absolutely not a small merit.

If they can consume them, it will definitely be a great thing for him and the Marquis Marquis Aosiding family.

Thinking of this, Adams did not hesitate and immediately headed toward his father's tent.

Hou Jue Marquis Marquis Aosiding had just returned to his tent after finishing dinner with several friends.

Of course, it was a proper dinner, held outside the city, and the wine on the table was only for a small sip.

As an elder, well aware of the danger of the orcs, he certainly could not be as indulgent as his children.

Upon hearing that his son suddenly wanted to see him, he was somewhat surprised.

"What's wrong? Adams, didn't you go to the city to drink? Why did you return so quickly!"

Sitting in a chair, sipping tea, he asked curiously.

In the past, Adams had few bad habits, so Marquis Marquis Aosiding did not mind letting him play with the young men of other families for a couple of days.

"Father, I went, but found it uninteresting, so I returned early!" Adams casually made up an excuse and did not intend to tell his father about Wyatt's matter.

"Uninteresting?" Hearing this, Marquis Marquis Aosiding truly didn't know how to lecture his eldest son.

Other noble children were trying every possible way to go carousing; their elders couldn't stop them even if they tried.

As for his own son, well, he intended to let him relax, yet he found it uninteresting. "Then what business do you have with me?"

"Father, I want to borrow troops from you!"

Pfft!

Viscount Marquis Marquis Aosiding spat out a mouthful of tea.

He suspected he had heard wrong. "Ahem, Adams, say that again?"

"Father, I want to borrow troops!"

"What do you want to borrow troops for? Did someone offend you?" Finally confirming he hadn't heard wrong, Marquis Marquis Aosiding questioned in confusion.

"Father, no one offended me. I am preparing to kill orcs and want to achieve merit!"

"Kill orcs? Achieve merit?" Marquis Marquis Aosiding's expression became even more strange; the main army was resting, where were the orcs for him to fight at this time?

Seeing his father about to treat him like a madman, Adams had no choice but to explain: "Father, I received important news: the orcs are going to attack and kill Baron Mill!"

"Baron Mill? The one announced to the entire army?!"

"That's right, it's him. The orcs plan to deploy a thousand orcs and two or three thousand servant troops to attack Baron Mill at Grey Shiqiao tonight!"

Under normal circumstances, Marquis Marquis Aosiding would not have believed it.

But upon hearing his son accurately state that Baron Mill was at Grey Shiqiao, his expression became slightly serious.

Because of the Vanguard Camp's arrangements, the children absolutely could not know this; only a few of them, Counts and Hou Jue, due to their high status, could attend meetings with the Duke and the Grand President, so they knew Baron Mill was at Grey Shiqiao.

Of course, regarding such a major matter, Marquis Marquis Aosiding definitely had to ask clearly: "Where did you get this news? Could you have been deceived?"

"Father, can I not say?" Adams felt somewhat conflicted.

Although Lord Harry had not said to keep it secret even from his own father, if possible, he still felt it was better to say less.

Marquis Marquis Aosiding, however, looked serious. "Adams, fighting over a thousand orcs requires at least five thousand elite soldiers."

"Such a large number of elite personnel is the foundation of our Marquis Marquis Aosiding family. If you don't explain clearly, I definitely will not agree to lend them to you!"

"Additionally, without a battle situation, moving so many personnel requires requesting permission from the Northern Grand President. Only with approval can they leave the camp!"

Hearing this, Adams realized he had thought too simply; indeed, he still needed to tell his father everything.

So, he stopped hiding it and handed the letter directly over.

Seeing the signature on the letter, Marquis Marquis Aosiding was not too surprised; it was indeed that Harry who had cooperated with his son using white sugar.

Seeing this, his heart calmed by half.

Besides the cooperation between both sides, secondly, this Harry had previously saved his family's navy.

If there were truly malicious intent, there would be no need for such an unnecessary move.

Of course, there was another matter: the location of this incident was inside Grey Shiqiao, which was the area they controlled themselves.

As long as they asked the rangers about the situation at the Grey Shiqiao checkpoint in advance, there would basically be no great risk.

"Father, how about it?!" Adams looked at his father nervously.

"Adams, are you sure you want to participate in this incident? Actually, revealing this news to the Grand President would also allow you to obtain merit!"

"No, Father, this news was given to me by Lord Harry, meaning only he and I know it. I don't want to miss such merit, nor do I want to tell others!"

"Very well, then Father will help you this once!"

"Babik, I entrust these one thousand orc warriors and three thousand servant troops to you. I hope you can atone for your faults with merit!"

"Chief Molar, I will definitely complete the revenge. I absolutely will not let you down!"

"Mm, go! Be careful with everything!"

"Yes, Chief Morar!" Babik suppressed his excitement and bid farewell to Morar.

Then, he looked at his subordinates who had already assembled. "Depart!"

Immediately, the four-thousand-strong Beast Race contingent set out toward the southwest under the cover of night.

And as Babik set out, within the main camp outside Red Stone City, Adams was also bidding farewell to his father.

"Adams, you must remember, tonight's operation must be cautious..."

"Yes, Father, I certainly will!"

Having spoken, Adams led five thousand family soldiers out of the camp gate under the cover of night.

It must be said that Hou Jue Marquis Marquis Aosiding was very attentive to his eldest son.

He knew there were likely Beast Race spies within the Human Race, so he specifically arranged for his son to leave the camp only at night.

And this approach would increase the difficulty of him requesting instructions from the President of the Northern Legion.

After all, he could not directly state his true purpose.

And the excuse he found was that he wanted to train his offspring.

Although this excuse was very pale, it was not too absurd.

And the reason the Legion President could approve it was not only because he guaranteed with the Hou Jue Marquis Marquis Aosiding family that no problems would arise.

He also went to find Grand Duke Hernand, his own father-in-law, and asked the father-in-law to help guarantee it.

Under these circumstances, he finally managed to secure permission for five thousand people to leave the camp for one night.

Of course, to ensure absolute safety, after watching his offspring walk far away, Hou Jue Marquis Marquis Aosiding still mounted a warhorse.

"Go!"

Afterwards, he led a small squad of guards to follow Adams and the others from a distance.
