Roar! Roar!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a roar came from above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the five Griffon Knights, who, seeing the Mado Giant Lizards fall, let out disdainful growls—as if to say, “With us here, you won’t dare stir!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This… these are our Griffon Knights?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It seems so—otherwise why would they attack these Mado Giant Lizards?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But weren’t they just coming from the north?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That… we’re not sure, but they did save us—that’s real!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mil and the others looked up at the Griffon Knights, their eyes filled with gratitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had previously assumed these Griffon Knights were bred by the Beast Tribes—but now, these Griffon Knights had come to their rescue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This meant the Griffon Knights’ true allegiance remained uncertain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Everyone, make way! The Commander-in-Chief is coming!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a shout came from behind Mil and the others—it was the Commander-in-Chief and a group of high nobles rushing over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had seen more clearly: five Griffon Knights had actively attacked the Mado Giant Lizards—so were these Griffon Knights on their side?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you all alright?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Commander-in-Chief, we’re fine!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Commander-in-Chief arrived close by, glanced at the still-paralyzed Mado Giant Lizards, and immediately asked Mil and the others with concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mil and the others were overwhelmed with surprise and quickly assured him they were unharmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Commander-in-Chief nodded, then looked up at the sky: “Lords Griffon Knights, I am the Northern Region Commander-in-Chief. May I ask—where are you from? Are you from our Kingdom?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Griffon Knights above had already ascended, but upon hearing this, one of them descended again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Commander-in-Chief, we are Griffon Knights of the Kingdom—but as to our exact origin, we have not received permission from our superior to disclose it; please forgive our silence.” The Griffon Knight replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the one who spoke was, naturally, Mick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been ordered by Gervas to precede the main force and confirm the army’s status.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon learning this, the Beast King did not interfere—his sole focus now was rescuing Sukama and his youngest prince.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Gervas, to avoid unnecessary complications, instructed Mick not to initiate attacks unless absolutely necessary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mick strictly followed these orders—he likely would not have ordered an attack had he not seen the Mado Giant Lizards threatening the Kingdom’s nobles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are they truly our Kingdom’s Griffon Knights? Does that mean there’s support nearby?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes? If there really is support, then perhaps we still have a chance to retreat!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the Commander-in-Chief could respond, the nobles who heard Mick’s reply erupted in excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In their minds, Griffon Knights were owned only by high nobles or the King.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, Griffon Knights rarely operated alone—they usually accompanied ground armies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So if these Griffon Knights belonged to their Kingdom, perhaps a full ground force was nearby?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though such hope was extremely slim—after all, these Griffon Knights had unusually come from the north.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the desperation to survive was overwhelming; now, like drowning men, even a straw seemed like salvation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the Commander-in-Chief could not resist—he eagerly called up to Mick: “Griffon Knight, how did you come from the north? And… are you alone, or is there a ground force with you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as the Commander-in-Chief finished speaking, every noble on the ground held their breath, waiting tensely for the answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above, Mick replied bluntly: “We took a detour from the west to reach the wasteland; now, to return to the Kingdom, we came from the north!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As for whether we came alone… Commander-in-Chief, our Griffon squad is accompanying the main army—we are nearly there, and you will see them soon!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Splash!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I… did I hear that right? The Griffon Knight said they’re with a main army? There’s truly a Kingdom army coming?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your Excellency, you didn’t mishear—I heard it too! And he said the army is almost here!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But… why is the army coming from the north? And isn’t there a large number of Beast Tribes in the north? How did they get through? And why haven’t we heard any battle cries?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We don’t know! The Griffon Knight said it—could he possibly be lying to us?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mick’s answer was like a bucket of cold water thrown into a boiling pot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, the nobles erupted in uproar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A main army truly coming from the north—this felt unreal, like a dream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the nobles now began to doubt: were the Griffon Knights deceiving them?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dukes, what do you think?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Commander-in-Chief himself was now uncertain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had truly hoped a reinforcement force came from the north.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the Griffon Knight’s blunt reply made it feel too unreal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This back-and-forth hope and fear left the Commander-in-Chief unsteady.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Commander-in-Chief, we have no choice now—whether this Griffon Knight is lying or not, it hardly matters!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If what he says is true, then best of all—we may yet be rescued!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But if it’s false, we can’t be worse off than we are now. All we must do is keep trying to break out!” Duke Hernade spoke first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Duke Shatterstone said nothing, but gave a slight nod—he clearly agreed with Duke Hernade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then let us continue to break…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ooooh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Commander-in-Chief, having heard the advice, was about to order another breakout.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at that moment, a horn blast erupted from behind the Beast Tribes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the horn, the Beast chieftains and the fighting Beast soldiers froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they realized what it meant, the Beast soldiers withdrew like a retreating tide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Beast chieftains glanced once at the nobles, then turned and headed straight back to their previous platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This… this… the Beast Tribes are retreating?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are they up to? Is this another trick?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What trick could it be? If they’re retreating now, doesn’t that make our breakout easier?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The nobles were stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Kingdom soldiers, who had been fighting desperately, also stood frozen, weapons still raised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lords, our army has arrived—do not worry. Wait right where you are!” came the Griffon Knight’s voice from above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, the Griffon Knights ascended again and flew northward.\u003C\u002Fp>",1099,"2026-06-20T22:44:02.688Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","c0b65b1430636113470872c74c43bd712c80df1e89d90db576f1e8fd6b0dbc0d","warlord-starting-with-daily-intelligence-chapter-485","warlord-starting-with-daily-intelligence-chapter-483",521,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwarlord-starting-with-daily-intelligence-cover.jpg"]
