And these goats are much larger than ordinary ones, entirely black—could they be demons?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, everyone’s gaze was drawn to the hundred-meter-high cliff along the island’s edge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For atop the cliff, a group of unusual black goats stood out sharply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They fearlessly scaled the steep precipice as if walking on level ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, these black goats were magnificent—their fur glossy and jet-black, their bodies noticeably larger than ordinary goats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good heavens, those are Heijin Yang goats! My Lord, the Glory God has blessed you—these are the priceless Heijin Yang goats!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the soldiers marveled and speculated about the goats’ breed and origin,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Jack suddenly cried out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heijin Yang goats? You mean the ones rumored to have meat worth as much as gold—second-rank Heijin Yang goats?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lei Meng had originally been unable to identify the goats’ species.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But hearing Old Jack’s cry, he immediately recalled the famed, high-value Heijin Yang goats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gervas, though already certain they were Heijin Yang goats, still asked in surprise: “Old Jack, you recognize these goats? Are they truly the ones Lei Meng, the Knight Captain, described—meat worth as much as gold?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My Lord, when I served on the Kingdom's expansion fleet, ships delivered Heijin Yang goats northward every day—I know their value and appearance well!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heijin Yang goats are native to the Chaos Wastelands. Their meat is delicious, beloved by northern nobles. During the Kingdom’s southern expansion, they were the most prized prey for hunting parties!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But as hunting intensified, Heijin Yang goats grew scarce—until, as Lei Meng, the Knight Captain, said, their meat became worth as much as gold!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As for the exact price, I don’t know—but I know they’re now rarely seen in the wild,” Old Jack explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lei Meng added: “There are virtually no Heijin Yang goats left in the south!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Only northern great nobles, who bred them early, still maintain sizable herds.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But even their herds are limited—so like the Colorful Winged Swans, they’ve become exclusive to the great nobility.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And it’s said three catties of Heijin Yang meat cost one gold coin!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A close friend of Viscount Pat returned from the north with a few catties of Heijin Yang meat and threw a grand banquet!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Though Viscount Pat thought the man was showing off, he couldn’t stop thinking about the Heijin Yang meat!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You say that, and I remember! My father received an invitation too—wasn’t that the banquet hosted by Viscount Kaimil?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Each noble received only a small bowl of broth, yet everyone savored it endlessly!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gervas nodded in agreement—he knew of Heijin Yang goats because of that event!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My Lord, there are at least fifty of those Heijin Yang goats on the cliff—if we could breed them like northern nobles, we’d have a steady Heijin Yang farm!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lei Meng suggested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gervas nodded: “Let’s first land and survey the island—confirm the true herd size, and check for predators.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Gervas and the others rowed ashore on a raft at the island’s only beach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief patrol, they found no carnivorous beasts—even ordinary wild animals were scarce, aside from the Heijin Yang goats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That made sense—if predators had been present, the Heijin Yang goats would have been eaten long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The presence of Heijin Yang goats on this island meant either someone deliberately placed them here,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>or a shipwreck stranded them here by chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, according to Old Jack, the Storm Domain was once a busy shipping route.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With no predator threat confirmed and the herd estimated at over one hundred thirty goats,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gervas and Lei Meng personally hunted an old, elderly Heijin Yang goat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a goat could no longer breed and had little time left to live.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Better to capture it now and taste its meat—otherwise, dying in the wild would be a waste!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Old Jack, remember this place. Tomorrow I’ll send a hunting party to capture the Heijin Yang goats. Also, from now on, this island is called Heijin Yang Island!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, My Lord!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Gervas would not take all the Heijin Yang goats—he planned to relocate some to his domain for breeding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the island’s space was limited; one hundred sixty goats was its maximum capacity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To profit from the Heijin Yang goat industry, expanding the herd was essential.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So keeping some on Heijin Yang Island and some in his domain was the safest approach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For safety, Gervas would station a serf on the island to guard it, preventing other ships from treating it as unclaimed land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the guard serf would be rotated yearly—not permanently settled—Gervas was quite humane.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After completing the Heijin Yang Island expedition, Gervas ordered the fleet to continue eastward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The further east they sailed, the deeper into the ocean they ventured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, with the fist-sized Sea God Stone aboard, theoretically they remained within coastal waters for a hundred li—no need to overly worry about safety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without incident, less than half an hour later, a beautiful coral reef appeared ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet behind this beauty lay the very reefs feared by ships—so Gervas ordered Old Jack to navigate with extreme caution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He and Lei Meng also joined the lookout, since the wreck’s coordinates were a single mast—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>not as conspicuous as an island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, just over ten minutes after reaching the reef, Knight Captain Lei Meng made the first discovery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My Lord, is that it? There’s something resembling a mast!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, that’s it! Old Jack, steer closer—but be extremely careful. If in doubt, anchor and approach by raft!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, My Lord!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, Stormwind only approached to a hundred meters before anchoring, refusing to go further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gervas, accompanied by Lei Meng and the little mermaid, boarded a bamboo raft and neared the mast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they drew closer, through the clear seawater, they saw the massive hull beneath the mast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was another single-masted sailing vessel, roughly the same size as Stormwind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now it lay silently on the seabed, twenty to thirty meters down, become a home for fish and coral.\u003C\u002Fp>",1051,"2026-06-20T22:44:01.160Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","63c26d55df27a4449fe87d333367217c719e91813b008f0fcfd69f72f1349e18","warlord-starting-with-daily-intelligence-chapter-92","warlord-starting-with-daily-intelligence-chapter-90",521,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwarlord-starting-with-daily-intelligence-cover.jpg"]
