Some volcanoes aren’t dormant—they can erupt at any moment, and everything on the island will perish.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My lord, you’re truly a noble of vast knowledge! When I was young, my master told me he once witnessed a volcanic eruption—ten ships anchored that night escaped only two!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Good heavens! Migen exclaimed in awe!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ocean is too dangerous—I want to go back to land!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Migen’s face turn pale as he stared at the volcano, Gervas finally reassured him: “But Migen, don’t worry—Zhuiyue has already scouted this island. This volcano is now extinct and will never erupt again.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Moreover, inside that volcanic crater, there’s a miraculous benefit that can rapidly elevate you to Grand Knight status?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Rapidly reach Grand Knight? R-Really, my lord?!” Migen forgot all fear, eyes wide as he stared at Gervas, his gaze sparkling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Absolutely!” Gervas stopped joking and nodded solemnly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From then on, Migen and the others’ gaze toward the volcano shifted from fear to burning eagerness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The volcanic island’s terrain was excellent; though most of it was rocky coastline, it featured a beach over two hundred meters wide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beach lay within a natural bay, forming a perfect natural harbor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ship sailed into the harbor and lowered the wooden rafts; the group disembarked one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gervas immediately led them toward the volcanic crater.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After just an hour of climbing, they finally reached the crater’s rim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm? Such dense elements and magic!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he stood at the crater’s edge, Knight-Marshal Lei Meng sensed something unusual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been scanning the surroundings for safety when he felt the overwhelming presence of elements and magic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Knight-Marshal Lei Meng, it must be the benefit my lord mentioned—the one that boosts our strength rapidly! And look at the vegetation inside the crater—it’s clearly several times taller than the plants down the slope!” Migen reacted quickly, face alight with delight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gervas nodded in agreement. “Zhuiyue pointed to this spot. Lei Meng, you lead the way!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group then moved into the crater.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Migen had said, the vegetation inside the crater—nourished by elements and magic—grew unusually lush and towering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hacking through the undergrowth, they finally halted at the crater’s center.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My lord, I sense the strongest concentration of magic and elements is right here!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even without Lei Meng’s words, Gervas had already spotted several cracks—ten to twenty centimeters wide, one or two meters long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Around these cracks, trees and weeds towered far taller than elsewhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey! What a wonderful feeling—why do I feel warm all over?!” Migen suddenly cried out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My lord, we feel it too!” The soldiers stared in astonishment, experiencing this strange sensation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is the beginning of the Element and Magic Tide! Don’t stand around—Migen, you knights immediately begin practicing your Qi Breathing Technique. The rest of you, grab tools and chop down surrounding trees for training—it will accelerate your physical strengthening!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At Gervas’s order, his subordinates sprang into action.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lei Meng, go over there, swallow the Flame Fruit, and attempt your breakthrough—this is the perfect moment!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, my lord!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Lei Meng moved aside to swallow the Flame Fruit, Gervas sat cross-legged and began his own cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An hour and a half passed; the soldiers stopped chopping, having cleared a hundred square meters of open ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Migen and the other knights ended their Qi Breathing Technique, slowly opening their eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether knights or soldiers, all wore broad smiles, examining their bodies with wonder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ha! I’ve grown stronger—I feel much stronger!” Migen laughed heartily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Me too! I feel far stronger than before!” The other knights immediately echoed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ha! If this keeps up, won’t we reach Grand Knight status in ten days or half a month?! That’s Grand Knight!” Migen and the others were ecstatic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hum!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As everyone reveled in their gains, a low hum drew all attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, look at Knight-Marshal Lei Meng!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good heavens, such intense Qi radiance!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hum!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another hum—and Lei Meng’s Qi radiance surged to its peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good heavens, why is my breathing getting harder?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I feel it too!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I get it now—this is the pressure of a Title Knight!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Title Knight pressure? Isn’t that only possessed by Silver Knights? Could it be…?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the knights realized what was happening, their eyes wide, Lei Meng’s Qi suddenly vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All pressure and radiance disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lei Meng slowly opened his eyes, face filled with astonishment and excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Congratulations, my Knight-Marshal—you’ve successfully broken through to Silver Knight!” Gervas stood and offered his praise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lei Meng, snapping back to himself, quickly suppressed his excitement, knelt before Gervas, and bowed deeply: “Thank you, my lord’s grace. Without you, I might never have broken through to Silver Knight!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As always, Lei Meng did not know his talent could carry him to Gold Knight; to him, his breakthrough was entirely due to his lord’s guidance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lei Meng, no need to thank me. You’re my Knight-Marshal—helping you grow stronger is my duty as your lord,” Gervas smiled, helping him up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Congratulations, Knight-Marshal Lei Meng, on your breakthrough to Silver Knight!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Congratulations, Knight-Marshal Lei Meng!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Migen and the others hurried over, offering their heartfelt congratulations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their praise was sincere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this dangerous frontier, a stronger Knight-Marshal benefited not only Lord Gervas, but every knight and soldier here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ha! Let’s return to the castle—I’ll have Old John throw a beer feast tonight. Every knight and soldier gets a share—to celebrate Lei Meng’s breakthrough!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Element and Magic Tide on the island had ended; it would not return until tomorrow, so staying longer served no purpose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Beer feast? We get some too?! Our lord is generous! Long live our lord!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Long live our lord!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amid the cheers, Gervas completed his first journey across the otherworldly ocean!\u003C\u002Fp>",1003,"2026-06-20T22:44:01.160Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","39870fcd5ac2d1e72f8aafa6f56a88a864ce8b8c7510567987bf287f5d41f939","warlord-starting-with-daily-intelligence-chapter-74","warlord-starting-with-daily-intelligence-chapter-72",521,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwarlord-starting-with-daily-intelligence-cover.jpg"]
