We should flee now, or that damned human noble will catch up—and it’ll be terrible!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Barini, remembering the fates of his three comrades, couldn’t stop trembling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Blood Bat squad captain opened his mouth to speak—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then suddenly, a long, piercing horse neigh came from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned around—and the Blood Bat Knight squad captain and his men turned pale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because that neigh had come from the flying horse Barini had described.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And mounted atop it—wasn’t that human noble, Gervas?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Green-skinned bastards, you won’t escape!” Gervas smirked, his eyes filled with coldness!\u003C\u002Fp>",1064,"2026-06-20T22:44:02.688Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","1f34d23893c6cc55bd58eff6235de1afe246bad559daed26d3988f0ce1aec700","warlord-starting-with-daily-intelligence-chapter-456","warlord-starting-with-daily-intelligence-chapter-454",521,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwarlord-starting-with-daily-intelligence-cover.jpg"]
