Damn it, how could this happen?!” Upon finishing the scroll, the Beast King was beyond rage—he roared aloud, as if ready to devour someone on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surrounding leaders were stunned by this sudden outburst, unsure why the Beast King had become so furious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where are they? Where are those damned humans now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lord Beast King, those humans have reached ten li away—monitored by a portion of our beast army and Commander Moral from the rear!” The messenger replied, trembling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fools! All of you are fools! How could a mere thousand humans breach the Royal Tent Palace? They’re worse than pigs!” The Beast King raged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What? The Royal Tent Palace was breached? This… this…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the beast leaders who had been confused earlier finally widened their eyes—they now understood why the Beast King was so furious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Royal Tent Palace had been breached.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was where Princess Sukama resided!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But where had these humans come from?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And how had they done it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You all stay here—I must go north immediately,” the Beast King said without further delay, issuing his order in a fury before descending the dais toward the north.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lord Beast King, what of the battlefield here?” Several leaders ordered to remain hurriedly asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Beast King’s mood was terrible after this news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If another mishap occurred here, they feared becoming his scapegoats—they had to ask first, to confirm their next steps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Beast King paused, glanced at the lopsided battlefield, and gritted his teeth: “Under no circumstances let a single one escape. Everything else waits for my return!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though unwilling, the Beast King knew these humans might become his most crucial leverage to recover Princess Sukama and his newborn prince.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Commander, our light cavalry has lost over half its numbers—if we continue, we’ll lose all chance of breakout!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gentlemen, if this is the case, then begin the final noble breakout! Take your heirs with you immediately!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, Commander!” The noble lords, though reluctant, knew there was no better option.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This noble breakout was the last resort for nobles when battle reached its final moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It meant abandoning all soldiers to flee alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though soldiers could be sacrificed as cannon fodder, at this point they became a hindrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In contrast, the noble lords themselves were all titled knights—when gathered, they could unleash devastating damage in a short time, greatly increasing their breakout odds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, this tactic was only viable at the last moment; while breakout chances rose, so did the danger and casualties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beasts were no fools—seeing the nobles break out, their leaders would join the fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Adams, are you ready? Come with me now!” Marquis Austin hurried back to his formation and ordered Adams.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adams froze, then turned pale. “Father, has the Commander decided? But the soldiers are still fighting…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, Adams understood the implication of his father’s words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Adams, our entire army is now completely surrounded by the beast tribe—so even if we don’t choose this, the soldiers cannot retreat!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But with the noble breakout, there’s still a sliver of escape. As long as we live, there’s still hope to turn things around—we’ll have a chance to avenge the soldiers later!” Marquis Austin understood that growth required a process.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adams was facing this for the first time—it was a crushing blow to him, just as it had been for him once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, he didn’t say it outright: even the noble breakout wouldn’t guarantee escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The best outcome might be that the old guard fought to the death to carve open a path, allowing the younger heirs to flee safely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Marquis Austin confirmed again: “Adams, have you taken the seal and the scroll?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adams clenched his teeth, didn’t answer immediately, but gazed with reluctance at the soldiers still fighting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For him, this was an agonizing choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If Gervas were still alive, what would he choose? Would he support me running away like a coward?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Report! Marquis, the Commander urgently summons you—he’s halting the noble breakout!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Adams could answer, a frantic shout arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Marquis Austin froze, staring at the returning guard knight. “Are you certain?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had this not been his own guard knight, he might have suspected a beast tribe spy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Marquis, the order came directly from the Commander himself!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Marquis Austin fell silent for a moment. “Adams, you heard that—the noble breakout is halted. Still, come with me now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, Father.” Adams glanced at his father and the knight—this time, he didn’t refuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His father’s expression had clearly not been feigned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he was curious—what had happened? Why had the noble breakout been suddenly halted?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, father and son hurried to the Commander’s position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, other noble lords had also received the news and arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon arrival, they immediately demanded an explanation from the Commander.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gentlemen, look over there—just now, the Beast King left that dais!” The Commander didn’t delay, pointing to a wooden platform behind the beast army.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That platform had been built specifically for the Beast King to observe and command.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So the moment the Beast King left, the Commander noticed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In battle, a commander vanishing suddenly was highly unusual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh? The Beast King really left—where did he go?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes! We’re in the middle of battle, and the Beast King just vanished—could something unexpected have happened?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The noble lords turned to the dais and confirmed: only beast leaders remained—the Beast King was gone!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Commander, could this be the Beast King’s trick—to lull us into complacency? Then we should proceed with the noble breakout!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though many noble lords were merely startled by the Beast King’s disappearance,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a few cautious ones suspected it was a deliberate ruse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Commander wouldn’t be so careless—he immediately pointed to another anomaly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gentlemen, if it were only the Beast King’s departure, I wouldn’t have halted you—but look at the wolf riders—they’ve also stopped fighting!”\u003C\u002Fp>",1102,"2026-06-20T22:44:02.688Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","9d3f133c4b2d48c6b85486a29b78aa5c43ff5235db89f3f7af66b49e4763728f","warlord-starting-with-daily-intelligence-chapter-481","warlord-starting-with-daily-intelligence-chapter-479",521,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwarlord-starting-with-daily-intelligence-cover.jpg"]
