Come, let’s climb that hill ahead!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst Mi Gen and the others’ confusion, Gervas led Knight-Leader Lei Meng and them up the hill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they reached the fifty- to sixty-meter summit, a vast, flat wasteland stretched before them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Across the wasteland, long lines of beasts were surging forward in relentless motion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dust they kicked up resembled hundreds of steam trains racing side by side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Beast Tide?!” Though Lei Meng had suspected something similar, seeing thousands upon thousands of wild beasts charging before him still filled him with shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This… how have these beasts gone mad? This is insane!” Mi Gen and the others trembled in voice, eyes wide as they stared at wave after wave of hundreds or thousands of beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zhui Yue said that in some remote, uninhabited region between the Death Mountains and the Chaos Wasteland, a terrible event occurred—many dark creatures emerged, triggering this Beast Tide!” Gervas explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dark creatures? No wonder—those are the natural enemies of all life, evil and fearless of death!” Lei Meng said gravely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My lord, what should we do now?” As ordinary men, Mi Gen and the others naturally feared dark creatures, their faces etched with worry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The dark creatures are not our concern—we brought you here for the beasts!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“For the beasts?” Mi Gen and the others looked puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if these were ordinary beasts, such a Beast Tide seemed extremely dangerous—was their lord planning to hunt them?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to venture so deep into the Chaos Wasteland for just a few beasts… didn’t that seem pointless?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Lei Meng’s mind suddenly clicked—“My lord, are you planning to use the Magic Horn?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Precisely. Last night, I had Lu Ka the blacksmith drill holes into two Magic Horns. This afternoon, when I left with Zhui Yue, I tested them—these Magic Horns attract beasts!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My lord, what do you need us to do?” Knight-Leader Lei Meng’s voice rose with excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was growing increasingly unable to fathom this lord, who was only four or five years older than his daughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every action the lord took was unexpected, yet somehow ignited Rexue  and boundless anticipation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thousands upon thousands of beasts—even if we captured only one-tenth, that would mean hundreds or even thousands of beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I need you to enter the outer fringes of the Beast Tide, then kill and scare them, forcing them to crowd toward the edges and break away from the main herd. Meanwhile, I’ll ride ahead and use the horn to lure them into changing direction!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My lord, merely changing direction won’t be very effective—once they turn, we still can’t make them stop!” Mi Gen asked again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you remember the deep ravine a mile behind us?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they first arrived, they had encountered a ravine with a drop of over ten meters, stretching hundreds of meters long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since seeing that ravine, Gervas had marked it as his “hunting ground.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such deep ravines were common near the Death Mountains; after receiving the intelligence, Gervas had already planned this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gervas’s blunt description made his intent instantly clear to Mi Gen and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, the knights rubbed their hands in excitement—“My lord, let’s begin! We’re already eager!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gervas nodded, but added a solemn warning: “Remember—only target small groups on the fringes. I’d rather repeat this several times and get fewer beasts than risk your lives.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Compared to a few beasts, you, my guard knights, are far more precious to me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The knights straightened, their eyes filled with gratitude—“My lord, we’ll be careful!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, all of them charged toward the distant Beast Tide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lei Meng and Mi Gen and the others slowly slipped into the rear of the Beast Tide, slashing at beasts on the flanks, driving them into panic and forcing them to crowd outward, breaking away from the main herd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Gervas used Zhui Yue’s speed to reach the front of these smaller herds—numbering only a hundred or so—and blew the Magic Horn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the horn sounded, the lead beasts nearby gradually turned their attention toward Gervas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gervas immediately guided Zhui Yue to move slowly sideways.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beasts behind, driven by herd instinct and the fear of Lei Meng and Mi Gen’s killings, grew uneasy and fully broke away from the main herd, following Gervas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Gervas blew the horn continuously as he galloped forward, and after about five or six minutes, he reached the ravine he had seen earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zhui Yue, leap!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Roar!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhui Yue let out a long neigh and leapt clean over the ravine’s edge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other beasts, entranced by the Magic Horn, only realized their mistake as they leapt into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was too late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst terrified screams, the beasts tumbled over the ten-meter cliff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps on Blue Star, such actions would seem cruel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But on this Continent of Glory, the strong prey on the weak—humanity was not even at the top of the food chain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For humans, securing enough food meant survival; there was no time to pity beasts!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My lord is mighty!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the hundred-odd beasts now dead below, Mi Gen and the others cheered wildly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Again! Before the Beast Tide ends, lure as many more beasts as we can!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, my lord!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the next hour, Gervas and Lei Meng and the others repeated the method, luring five or six more waves of Beast Tide to the ravine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For safety, each herd lured never exceeded two hundred beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet even so, when the Beast Tide finally ended, the ravine below held at least a thousand beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>",1129,"2026-06-20T22:44:01.160Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","f5e49fb46709cc53a4b00b3ac85c563e1d2bdc63d5efbb281c6ef16bb52232f8","warlord-starting-with-daily-intelligence-chapter-42","warlord-starting-with-daily-intelligence-chapter-40",521,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwarlord-starting-with-daily-intelligence-cover.jpg"]
