And I’ve been ordered to garrison at Baron Kalle’s fortress, fifty li away.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This… Gervas, has the Commander-in-Chief already made this decision? This… this is utterly unfair!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adams hadn’t expected Gervas to already know the news—and already be assigned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fifty li away meant at least a day’s journey from Lindongcheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with swift horses, it would still take half a day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was effectively exiling Gervas to a remote outpost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given Gervas’s merits, this was absolutely unjust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, Lord Gervas, I’ll go see the Commander-in-Chief—I must make them revoke this order!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adams grew angrier by the moment and rose to leave the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gervas quickly grabbed his arm: “Lord Adams, don’t get worked up!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mil and the others also stood up, staring at Adams with astonishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They hadn't expected Adams, the marquis's eldest son, to be so righteous—to immediately defend Gervas without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lord Gervas, it’s not that I’m overreacting—it’s that they… they’ve gone too far! Treating a hero like you this way is heartless!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, Adams, I actually think it’s quite good.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Quite good? Lord Gervas, this is anything but good!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, Adams, think about it! This is an orc siege—we’re defending the city—and my spear troops won’t be able to unleash their full strength here!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But if I’m sent to Baron Kalle’s fortress, and things go well, I can directly head north to cut off the orcs’ retreat route!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“At that point, when the orcs are panicked, I can lead my men to slaughter them freely—fully unleashing the power of my spear troops!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So being sent to Baron Kalle’s fortress isn’t a bad thing at all—in fact, these next two days let my men and I rest properly!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adams was left stunned by Gervas’s words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Gervas’s reasoning felt odd, upon closer thought, it made sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lord Gervas, is this really a good thing?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course. Otherwise, why would I be here drinking with Mil and the others instead of rushing to the Commander-in-Chief?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Adams was pulled back down by Gervas and joined the drinking party.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your Majesty, ahead, we’ve spotted human cavalry scouts—they must have learned of our main army’s arrival!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm. Have we confirmed that the entire human army has entered Lindongcheng?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your Majesty, confirmed. The entire human force of 150,000 has entered Lindongcheng!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Excellent!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thirty li from Lindongcheng, a massive orc force marched forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the center of the orc column, the Orc King, clad in golden armor, sat atop a giant, striped tiger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By the way, Moral, you mentioned that the humans have a unit capable of one-on-one dueling with our orc warriors?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, Your Majesty. That human unit numbers only three to five hundred—they’re not transcendent knights, but each possesses strength equal to an orc warrior.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Moreover, they possess a weapon that fires massive arrows, posing a serious threat to our orc warriors.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even wolf riders cannot withstand the penetration of those arrows,” Moral replied carefully, seated on his snowland wolf mount.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm. You say these soldiers belong to some human noble called Mi…?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your Majesty, it’s Baron Mil!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Baron Mil?! Remember that name—I’ll see this human noble with my own eyes, the one who nearly disrupted our plan!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, Your Majesty!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Ding!
