Your outstanding performance today was impossible to miss. By the way, allow me to introduce myself!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I am Larck, from the Cantor Count family—my father is Count Cantor.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So you are Lord Larck. It is an honor to meet you, and thank you for your praise,” Mil replied politely, with no choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the past, a noble of such stature approaching him was something he never dared dream of.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this time, the man was here only because of Mil’s false reputation, so he dared not engage deeply, lest he be exposed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Mil clearly underestimated his current prestige within the army.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Larck immediately invited: “Baron Mil, no need to thank me—these honors are yours by right. By the way, I have many friends who are eager to meet you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So, may I have the honor of inviting you to join us for drinks? My friends include not only sons of counts, but even sons of marquises!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This…” Larck’s tone was genuinely humble, making this a true invitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normally, a minor noble would never pass up such an opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only a count’s son, but even a marquis’s son—any connection with even one of them would greatly benefit a baron.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the problem was, Mil was not a normal case.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Forgive me, Lord Larck. I truly wish to accept your invitation, but my friends are here with me—I cannot abandon them!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How about this? Next time I get the chance, I’ll gladly accept your invitation, yes?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Larck frowned slightly, glancing at Gervas and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Mil entered the tavern, many nobles had heard the name “Eastern Frontier.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had promised his friends he would bring Mil over tonight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, a noble of particularly special status was due to arrive soon—he very much wanted to befriend and flatter him, so he could not afford to fail this invitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How about this, Baron Mil? Invite your friends along too!” Larck remembered he had extra seats—adding a few more wouldn’t be a problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This…” Mil hadn’t expected such persistence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Baron Mil, I, Larck, have never begged anyone before. I truly wish to invite you—please don’t refuse!” Larck pleaded earnestly again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mil glanced at Gervas and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing no reaction from them, “Very well, my lord.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, Mil agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Gervas and the others, they were just drinking—there was nothing wrong with joining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, they were led by Larck to his original table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guests there were indeed a group of nobles dressed even more opulently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing Mil, they greeted him warmly and amiably, showing no trace of arrogance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, the battle performance that day had won over every noble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even these once haughty sons of great houses were willing to lower themselves to mingle with Mil as equals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, this favor extended only to Mil—Gervas, Ian, and other minor nobles were merely invited to raise a cup when seated, then ignored afterward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn’t drive them away, but they didn’t acknowledge them either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ian and the others naturally felt a tinge of envy toward Mil, but Gervas was perfectly content to stay out of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He truly disliked such scenes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since Mil bore the risks of fame, he deserved its rewards too—so Gervas made no move to stop him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amid the constant toasts from the noble sons, Mil wanted to call out to Gervas and the others, but couldn’t manage it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Here comes Lord Adams! But there are five or six of them—our table won’t hold them all!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not enough?” Larck frowned, scanning the room, then had an idea. He whispered to a friend beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The friend nodded and walked over to Gervas, Ian, and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He leaned close and murmured: “My lords, several high-ranking guests are arriving soon, but our table is too small.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Would you mind moving to the table beside us? All expenses will be covered, and we’ll even arrange several fiery dancers to keep you company.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ian and the others turned to Gervas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gervas, of course, understood perfectly—this courtesy was entirely because of Mil. “No problem.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Gervas and the others were invited to the neighboring table—just two meters away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mil soon noticed, and started to rise—but Larck pulled him back down. Gervas gave him a reassuring glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mil sat back down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Larck kept his word—he indeed sent five fiery dancers and a lavish spread of food to their table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Gervas had no interest, Ian and the others’ gloom vanished instantly; they began happily interacting with the dancers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Gervas’s lips curled slightly—though the dancer beside him served only to pour wine; he needed nothing else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lord Adams, you’re here! Come, sit right here!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the greeting beside him made Gervas freeze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it really be that coincidental?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Gervas turned, he realized—it truly was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The noble guest Larck had been waiting for was indeed Adams.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for why Adams was now so popular, it was thanks entirely to Gervas’s help that night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since that night, when Adams led the raid that wiped out over five hundred orcs, his name spread among the noble sons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially after the arrogant grandson of Duke Hernade was humiliated by Adams, beaten so badly he couldn’t get out of bed for two days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This forced the noble sons to reassess Adams’s strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As sons of great families, they were most accustomed to befriending the strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Larck became one of the noble sons most eager to befriend Adams.\u003C\u002Fp>",1026,"2026-06-20T22:44:02.688Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","1a426e302631d36fcee41b40056c7d415fd05e9f0a0557e02b0cc2fbd6be989d","warlord-starting-with-daily-intelligence-chapter-408","warlord-starting-with-daily-intelligence-chapter-406",521,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwarlord-starting-with-daily-intelligence-cover.jpg"]
