Do you believe the letter’s claims?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your Majesty, I’ve never heard of this Gervas before, so I cannot judge!” Moral, besides daring not to lie, naturally dared not exaggerate either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Beast King was somewhat displeased: “I told you to speak—speak!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, Your Majesty… though I’ve never heard of this Gervas before!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But since Wilard is willing to offer Gervas as a price to secure our mercy, then unless they’re plotting another scheme to trick us—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s most likely true!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, the Beast King nodded in satisfaction. “Good. I think the same. Besides, all these humans are trapped inside the city—they can’t stir up any trouble!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So I’ve decided to give them a chance—to verify whether this letter is true or not!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Moral, you know what to do, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your Majesty, I’ll act at once!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately after, Moral left the tent and found the human messenger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then handed the man a bone token. “You may return now. Deliver this to Wilard.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes… yes, Great Beast Lord!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The messenger, as if granted pardon, took the bone token and returned beneath the city walls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet he did not immediately enter the basket, for he still had one more errand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the bone token reached the top, Solit rejoiced, swiftly secured it, and placed another letter into the basket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This letter contained information on Gervas’s current location.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not long after, the intelligence reached the Beast King’s hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Notably, this messenger was not executed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the death of the previous confidant had already been suspicious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If another died now, it would surely raise suspicion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Wilard dared not repeat that act.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kale Baron’s Castle, fifty li west of Lindongcheng?

Depart at dawn!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Ding! Daily intelligence has refreshed!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Intelligence One: Due to the Beastmen’s siege, food supplies in Lindongcheng are critically low.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Even with the Commander-in-Chief strictly rationing food, the army’s hardship continues to worsen.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Intelligence Two: The meager daily rations have made life unbearable for the nobles.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【To fill their bellies and improve their meals, many nobles have begun secretly slaughtering horses for meat.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Pessimism has spread through the royal army; many believe their food won’t last until reinforcements arrive.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【It’s true—until today, the commander in charge of Hongshi City finally decided to send an urgent messenger to the capital for guidance.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Intelligence Four: To secure their own escape, the cowardly Solit and Wilard decided to trade Gervas’s intelligence for a promise of mercy from the Beastmen.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【They acted on it this very dawn—and successfully made contact with the Beastmen!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Intelligence Five: Though the Beast King did not fully trust Wilard’s message,】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【He adopted the attitude of ‘better safe than sorry’ and has dispatched a force of three thousand Beastman Bimons, three thousand servant troops, and five Bloodbat Riders toward Kale Baron’s Castle!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Intelligence Six: Today will be a fine day!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At dawn, it was another day of waking naturally from sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to the anxiety of the nobles inside Lindongcheng, Gervas had been living comfortably these past days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet when he heard the ding today, his previously relaxed mood vanished instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Those two bastards again!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Gervas was truly furious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had known that, in future battles, Wilard and Solit would keep causing him trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he never expected that, at this critical moment, they’d still plot against him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even using him as a bargaining chip to buy their own lives from the Beastmen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Two scumbags—let them taste what it means to reap what they’ve sown!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wilard and Solit had finally pushed Gervas past his limit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But given Lindongcheng’s current state, Gervas couldn’t confront them directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he’d have to wait for a later opportunity to eliminate them outright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, he couldn’t kill them now—but he could collect some interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They wanted to trade him for a chance at survival?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he’d shatter their dream completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without delay, Gervas got up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isabella, the maid, heard the noise and hurried in to assist him with his morning ablutions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After washing, Gervas summoned Lei Meng and Mi Gen and others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He informed them that the Beastmen were coming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Three thousand Beastmen and three thousand servant troops? This…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing the number, Mi Gen and the other knights turned pale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What, scared?” Gervas asked with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, my lord, we’re not afraid—but we are nervous. After all, it’s three thousand Beastmen!” Mi Gen replied seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other knights nodded in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good for you—honest. But three thousand Beastmen? To me, it’s nothing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We don’t need to annihilate them—just cripple them. Kill half, and the rest will flee on their own.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So don’t treat them as three thousand Beastmen. Treat them as only fifteen hundred!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holy hell!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could you really view enemy numbers like that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Mil and the others were here, they’d roll their eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But here, only Gervas’s subordinates were present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Mi Gen and the others actually found it reasonable—and nodded in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My lord, when you put it that way, it really doesn’t seem so terrifying!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exactly! Now, everyone—move! The Beastmen set out today; tomorrow morning is battle time!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We need to reinforce the camp now, so these Beastmen get a real taste of hardship!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, my lord!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, the entire Storm Legion sprang into action.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides the Storm Legion, Gervas also sent Zhuī Yuè to recall Isabella and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Beastmen clearly took him seriously—they’d sent five aerial riders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aerial riders? That’s a dimension-shattering advantage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he had no countermeasure, it would be a major problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he had a countermeasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he’d give these Beastmen a very big surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>",1006,"2026-06-20T22:44:02.688Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","8c516290e74e6d3f423541f62a198a625ee027dec5530cd5ce15e3d1627797d7","warlord-starting-with-daily-intelligence-chapter-432","warlord-starting-with-daily-intelligence-chapter-430",521,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwarlord-starting-with-daily-intelligence-cover.jpg"]
