Isabella!” Gervas snapped back to himself and began enjoying Isabella’s gentle service.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gervas, you must take care of yourself!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s right, Gervas—if anything feels off, don’t fight hard, just run immediately. No one’s watching anyway; whether you’re deserting or not is entirely up to you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine, I’ll remember! If I face an enemy I can’t beat, I’ll run the moment I see him!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Mil and the others’ heartfelt words, Gervas said nothing in rebuttal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, he pulled out two letters he had long prepared from his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“These two letters—this one without wax seal is for you all!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The one with wax seal—I need you to deliver it personally to Lord Adamas. Remember, only to him, no one else!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“More letters? Gervas, can’t you just tell us now what you want to say?” Mil and the others were puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gervas offered no explanation. “You’ll see the contents when you read the letters yourselves!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, dawn’s coming—I must set off!” With that, Gervas mounted his horse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Depart!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gervas gave the order, and the Storm Legion immediately moved toward the city gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gervas, travel safely!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Gervas depart, Mil and the others felt an inexplicable sense of loss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During this time, they had fought side by side with Gervas and grown accustomed to following his battlefield commands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that Gervas was gone, they had to face the coming siege alone—and felt strangely adrift.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lord Gervas is gone—my heart feels so empty! We don’t even know how to handle the coming battle!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes! Before, we won consecutively only because we followed Gervas—but now… oh! Didn’t Lord Gervas leave us letters? Mil, quickly get them out!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh! Right! I nearly forgot such an important thing!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mil slapped his forehead and immediately picked up the two letters Gervas had left them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tucked the wax-sealed one into his chest and opened the one meant for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, all of them finished reading the letter’s contents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The message was simple: Gervas believed the orcs surrendering Lindongcheng might not be as straightforward as it seemed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So they must remain vigilant, especially at night!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Additionally, while Gervas was away, if they encountered difficulties, they could try seeking help from Adamas!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adamas was a trustworthy man; as long as the request wasn’t beyond his capacity, he would surely help!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gervas… is truly a good man!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes! Even after leaving, he still worries about us—not only warning us to increase vigilance, but even helping us find a protector!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mil’s hand holding the letter trembled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was deeply moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We may never repay Lord Gervas’s kindness. From now on, whoever dares to harm Gervas is my enemy, I, Eyn!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I, Mil, also swear—I will stand by Gervas forever!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We too!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moved, Mil and the others all voiced their loyalty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come, let’s go find Lord Adamas!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, they headed toward Dongcheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Adamas had just woken up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normally, he never rose so early.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But today, he planned to seek an audience with the Commander-in-Chief, requesting permission to go to Baron Kalle’s fortress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he had to gain the Commander-in-Chief’s approval before the orcs appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Young Master Adamas!” Yet, just as he finished dressing, a soldier’s voice called from outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What is it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Young Master Adamas, several minor nobles have arrived at the camp. They say they’re nobles from the Southern Region, delivering a letter from Lord Gervas to you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gervas’s letter?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adamas froze for a moment, then rushed out of his tent in a panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your Excellency Adamas!” Mil and the others were surprised—Adamas had arrived so quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, they had expected to wait a long time; it was still too early, not even the first ray of dawn had appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had it not been for Gervas’s matter, they would have come two hours later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lord Mil, don’t be formal. I heard you’ve come to deliver a letter from Gervas?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, Your Excellency. Gervas has already departed for Baron Kalle’s fortress. Before leaving, he left us a letter!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mil handed the letter to Adamas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you all so much!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adamas snatched the letter and immediately checked that the wax seal was intact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having delivered the letter, Mil and the others did not linger and took their leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adamas, preoccupied with the letter, made no effort to detain them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Mil and the others left, Adamas immediately opened the letter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first line of the letter stunned him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Adamas, I suspect you’re about to seek an audience with the Commander-in-Chief!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And request permission to join me at Baron Kalle’s fortress, to accompany me, correct?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But I must tell you: you must abandon this idea. I do not want you to follow me to Baron Kalle’s fortress!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could Lord Gervas have guessed I wanted to go to Baron Kalle’s fortress?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How did he know?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And why doesn’t he want me to follow him there?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Does he think I’m unworthy?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or does he find me annoying?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adamas’s heart tightened—both from astonishment at Gervas’s uncanny prediction, and from disappointment and anxiety over being forbidden to follow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this disappointment vanished instantly as he read the letter’s next lines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Adamas, you must be feeling disappointed now, wondering why I won’t let you follow?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Actually, I forbid it not because I dislike you or find you bothersome.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But because something far more important needs you to accomplish!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Something far more important needs me to accomplish?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adamas’s spirit surged—every negative emotion vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adams perked up mentally, all negative emotions swept clean!\u003C\u002Fp>",1059,"2026-06-20T22:44:02.688Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","999bbd0160213e14184acd27766e23e178efa56a949147070492f0e5658dbf7b","warlord-starting-with-daily-intelligence-chapter-423","warlord-starting-with-daily-intelligence-chapter-421",521,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwarlord-starting-with-daily-intelligence-cover.jpg"]
