Since normal methods won’t work, we’ll use a little trick—this time, we’re taking the Storm Lord’s territory for sure!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lei Meng was stunned, watching his lord’s smug satisfaction—he simply couldn’t understand why his lord was so confident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as a subordinate, he certainly wouldn’t undermine him now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, Thomas, having received the order, arranged for a cart to pass before the town square.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Milson had just finished his black bread and was preparing to leave the Storm Lord’s territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you really think the stuff on this cart can double next year’s grain yield for our Storm Lord’s land?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s impossible! I heard it’s bird droppings—and I can smell it; it’s utterly revolting. How could bird droppings double crop yields?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah, I heard the lord plans to bury all this bird dung in the fields. What if it kills the crops outright? Sigh…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Keep your voices down! Do you want to die? And hurry up! The magistrate is waiting—this dung must be used now, or you’ll get whipped!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The serfs and the cart passed through the square; though they’d gone far, the stench of the droppings still clung sharply in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Milson, who had been about to leave, froze in place, his face twisted in conflict.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using feces to fertilize crops was a desecration of nature itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, a Druid’s heart, attuned to nature, would never voice such a judgment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The God of Nature was merciful, unassuming—unlike certain churches, which branded those who desecrated doctrine as heretics and ruthlessly eradicated them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet while Milson didn’t care about their desecration of nature, he cared deeply for the poor serfs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He recalled the sparse crops he’d seen outside the town—if this lord ruined them further, half the serfs in the Storm Lord’s territory would starve this year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Out of compassion for the serfs, Milson could not turn away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sigh!” Milson finally chased after the cart ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My lord, the Druid you ordered monitored is heading this way!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon receiving Yefulan’s report, Gervas broke into a delighted smile—since the Druid had followed, his plan had succeeded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thomas proceeded with the normal process of fertilizing the serfs, while Gervas rested in the shade of a nearby tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, Milson appeared beside the fields, watching as vast quantities of bird droppings were splashed onto the soil—he rushed forward to stop them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Magistrate, I am Milson, a Druid. These droppings won’t speed crop growth—they’ll cause the crops to wither! Please stop this!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fact that feces cause plants to wither had long been proven by Druids.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The clearest evidence? Visit any chicken or duck farm—you’ll find the vegetation nearly vanished, leaving only bare, dung-covered earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t eaten away—it was poisoned by their droppings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Druid, this is the lord’s order—we must obey!” Thomas spoke with deep respect, yet showed no intention of stopping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing more crops threatened, Milson turned to Gervas nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh? Druid Milson, what are you doing here?” Gervas noticed him, feigning surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lord Gervas, order your men to stop spreading bird droppings on the fields! It won’t help the crops—it will poison them and cause them to wither!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is that so? But I read in an ancient book that it’s the opposite—it says fertilizing fields with manure doubles harvests, even surpassing crops tended by Druids.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nonsense! Absolute nonsense! Lord Gervas, as a Druid who walks the Chuji  Natural Path, I solemnly warn you—this will lead to total crop failure! Stop now!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Milson was angry—not because the lord compared him to Druids.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But because such a harmful book existed at all—wasn’t this endangering lives?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This concerned hundreds, even thousands of lives!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gervas frowned, as if offended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside, he was overjoyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anger!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Good—let him rage!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’s taken the bait!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Druid Milson, though I deeply respect you as a devout follower of the God of Nature, you cannot deny the wisdom I found in that book.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Since you claim the book’s method will wither the crops, let’s test it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How?” Milson sensed nothing amiss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve heard Druids possess the power to accelerate crop growth with natural energy. We need only hasten the growth of fertilized and unfertilized crops to see the result!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Agreed!” Milson nodded. Though it would drain his natural energy severely, he must save hundreds of serfs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To correct this misguided noble lord, Milson agreed to the test.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Druid Milson, let’s make a wager!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gambling? Lord Gervas, Druids never gamble…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lord Milson, that book may have been read by others besides me. If we prove it’s nonsense—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I, Gervas, will pay fifty gold coins to send messengers to Iron Wolf City to expose the deadly consequences of manure fertilization—saving more crops and serfs.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But if manure fertilization proves effective, you must swear to serve the Storm Lord’s territory for at least ten years!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gervas cut off Milson’s protest, presenting a wager Milson could not refuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he was certain manure fertilization was false—he could not lose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Gervas’s offer to spend fifty gold coins exposing the truth could indeed save many nobles misled by that “evil book.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine, Lord Gervas—I accept your wager!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then let’s begin!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gervas’s heart soared—he immediately led Druid Milson into the fields.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He selected ten wheat stalks total for comparison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five fertilized, five unfertilized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t choose more because natural energy, though miraculous, drained terribly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, if Druids could accelerate crops on a large scale, famine wouldn’t exist in this world!\u003C\u002Fp>",948,"2026-06-20T22:44:01.160Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","14228fb7bcbdf885fd45a830eb7268ccf527c669c6ac7aa3b887ffb0fb3b97c3","warlord-starting-with-daily-intelligence-chapter-80","warlord-starting-with-daily-intelligence-chapter-78",521,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwarlord-starting-with-daily-intelligence-cover.jpg"]
