Even if it’s Eagle City, I’ll accompany you on a tour!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And if two laps aren’t enough, five or six are no problem!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’re serious, Gervas!” Mil and the others exclaimed in shock, quickly reiterating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m serious too—but when the time comes, you’ll have to treat me to a proper meal. Touring Wolf City for a few laps will surely take a lot of energy!” Gervas replied with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No problem, Gervas! Whatever you want to eat, you can have it—and we’ll eat it at the Jade Manor, the most luxurious estate in eastern Wolf City!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s right! We’ll all chip in—even demon beast meat is fine, Gervas!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mil and the others immediately broke into broad smiles, clearly not stingy at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, compared to the chance to make a grand, memorable show in Wolf City, a few gold coins meant nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright! But before we return to the Southern Region, let’s make a detour to the Eastern Region—I haven’t visited my father’s domain since becoming lord!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This trip back from the Capital is the perfect chance to go home!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No problem, Gervas! We’re in no rush—everything’s up to you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mil and the others clearly had no objections.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gervas had specifically returned to the Gail Baron’s domain not to show off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the opportunity was rare, and he might as well pay a visit to Old Man Andrew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he had taken over the body of the man’s son; if he could do anything to make up for it, he should.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Andrew had been quite decent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon learning he had become lord, Andrew had sent supplies all the way from afar to Stormhold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though those supplies were of little real use to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Andrew was merely a low-ranking baron—his ability to muster such wealth proved he was still a worthy father.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the remainder of the journey, Gervas and his party moved at a leisurely pace, taking over a week to travel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they crossed a broad river, Saint Peter City came clearly into view.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Saint Peter City immediately stirred Gervas’s memories.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He recalled how, back then, though he had possessed the soul of a transmigrator, his status as a second son and frail physique had left him gazing enviously at the sons of great families or noble heirs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had the system not awakened, and had he not gotten his chance at the right moment, he might still be struggling desperately just to survive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I wonder how Mayor Poli is doing now? Does his wife still frequently visit Count Cato’s manor?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he thought this, the party arrived on the road outside Saint Peter City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was morning; the city gates had just opened, and a large number of serfs and commoners were lining up to enter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing Gervas’s party pass by the gates, all the commoners scrambled to the sides of the road and knelt with their heads bowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Saint Peter City guards were also startled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially upon seeing the two hundred light cavalry and over five hundred elite guards—all fully armed—they turned pale with fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had it not been for the golden griffin banner in the party, and the current peace and stability of the kingdom, they might have shut the gates immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, such an elite force was more than enough to storm their city of over two hundred thousand people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, the party had no intention of entering the city and continued straight south along the road.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you know which family that force belongs to? Those light cavalry and guards are all fully armed—clearly elite troops!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No idea, but this isn’t some ordinary baron’s retinue—it must be an old noble family!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I agree. Only those ancient baronial houses have such depth—sometimes their strength rivals even ordinary marquis domains…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gervas naturally couldn’t hear the guards’ whispers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nor did the guards realize that the “ancient baron” they were discussing had, barely half a year ago, been framed as a scapegoat because he couldn’t afford to bribe them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, that scapegoat had since reclaimed every last copper from them—with interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My lord! We’ve reached the Gail Domain!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the afternoon, ahead, Mikgen shouted excitedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t help but be excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The five of them—former knight attendants—had all come from the Gail Baron’s domain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, they were full knights, even titled knights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was unquestionably a triumphant homecoming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He recalled the smugness or pitying glances from their former companions when they left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, they most urgently wanted to show those bastards what they’d become.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who dares say now that following Lord Gervas meant suffering and hardship?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good! Keep moving!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gervas felt little excitement, but he did harbor a quiet anticipation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, it was the place where he had lived for so long after his transmigration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Gervas’s party advanced deeper into the Gail Domain, the outlines of Gail Baron’s Castle and Spring Day Town appeared ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Far off, a guard unit raced toward them from the direction of the town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Honorable sir, we are honored by your arrival in the Gail Baron’s domain. I am Pik, captain of Baron Andrew’s guard unit!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“May I ask which noble family you represent, and what business brings you to the Gail Domain?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the guard unit drew near, their captain respectfully inquired of Mikgen and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gervas, positioned in the middle of the column, was naturally unseen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, they clearly didn’t recognize Mikgen or the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They assumed Gervas’s party were passing nobles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And with such a large force of cavalry and guards, as a patrol unit, they had to clarify the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mikgen’s grin stretched ear to ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He recognized the guard captain well—they’d crossed paths countless times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he had no intention of revealing his identity immediately; instead, he teased: “Guard, our baron comes from the Capital! We’re passing through Spring Day Town and plan to spend the night there—surely you have no objections?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Or would you prefer to consult your baron?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This…” The guard froze, inwardly cursing his luck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These high nobles were always arrogant; minor lords hated them most.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially this force, packed with so many soldiers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Letting them stay in Spring Day Town could bring endless trouble if they caused trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he dared not refuse outright, so he spoke cautiously: “Honorable sir, we cannot decide this ourselves—may I return to the castle to report to Baron Andrew first?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm, fine. Go quickly!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, honorable sir!” The guard captain bowed and hurried toward the castle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did Mikgen saunter back to the rear of the column, grinning. “My lord, that Luk didn’t recognize me—I just had a little fun!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then recounted what he’d done.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gervas glared at Mikgen. “You bastard! Pray my father doesn’t get angry—if he does, I won’t save you!”\u003C\u002Fp>",1132,"2026-06-20T22:44:02.688Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","8488790580a19a74bb195807163a04b493b3a604df0b22258c89cfb2d28ef1d1","warlord-starting-with-daily-intelligence-chapter-503","warlord-starting-with-daily-intelligence-chapter-501",521,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwarlord-starting-with-daily-intelligence-cover.jpg"]
