Lord of the Oasis

After half a month, the Dehrim army of about 10,000 people finally arrived in the Elf Kingdom.

The Elf King sent soldiers from the main city of the Elf Kingdom to greet him.

After arranging a resting place for the soldiers in the army, Bandak and Derrick visited the royal palace of the Elf Kingdom.

The Elf King waited for them in the main hall of the palace for a long time, because he had met Bandak several times before and was considered familiar with them. After seeing the two figures, the Elf King stepped forward and greeted Bandak: "Commander Bandak, long time no see."

Bandak and Derrick saluted the Elf King and said, "His Royal Highness the Elf King."

"Who is this?" The Elf King looked at Derrick in confusion and asked Bandak.

"This is Commander Derrick, who has just taken office. This time he is responsible for commanding Dehrem's military forces together with me." Bandak introduced in detail.

"That's it." The Elf King nodded in understanding, extended his hand to Derrick and said, "Hello, Commander Derrick."

"First meeting." Derrick held His Highness the Elf King's hand humbly.

The Elf King smiled and said: "It seems that the sergeants of Dehrim are indeed talented. In such a short period of time, a suitable general can be selected as a leader."

"No, no." Bandak shook his head politely and denied.

The Elf King suddenly thought of something and said happily: "In the previous battle in the Kingdom of the Dead, I heard the medical soldiers sent by the Elf Kingdom say that Dehreim won a great victory. Congratulations to you all."

"Well, after the lord returned to the country, in view of the danger brought by the undead clan, after some discussions, he ordered us to go out to capture the country of the undead. The firepower of the undead clan is really fierce, and we can't stand against half of their combat power. We can only say that we won by chance in the end thanks to the concerted efforts of the soldiers." Bandak responded: "Among them, your country's reinforcements also made a huge contribution to us resolving the crisis. It is really true. Thank you very much.”

"The reputation of Dehrim's soldiers for being brave and good at fighting has spread throughout the countries along the coast. I think the lizard people and jackal people will feel timid when they see you appearing in front of the battle." The Elf King continued.

"Since your country's plan this time is to use a surprise attack, we will definitely hide ourselves before the battle. Try to catch them off guard and win the war with the least casualties." Derrick said from the side.

The Elf King nodded approvingly.

The specific strategic details were handed over to the two commanders of Dehrim by the army of the Elf Kingdom.

Bandak and Derrick did not stay in the palace for long. After introducing the military forces prepared on their side. He declined the elf king's request for a banquet and returned to the arranged residence.

The next day we will go to Cumberland via the official road of Elf Country.

The soldiers put their weapons and armor into the shipping boxes.

He put on the clothes sent by the elves and prepared to go on the road dressed casually.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the first group of people set off. Due to the existence of the free trade market, the daily flow of people between the main elf city and Cumberland is also very huge.

Therefore, even the pedestrians on the road did not notice that this was a group of soldiers from Dehrim.

Bandak led the first batch of soldiers to set off, while Derrick led the last batch of soldiers to set off. Finally arriving in Cumberland three days later.

The residents of Cumberland seemed unaware of their arrival.

However, someone came forward and asked about the purpose of their trip. After knowing that it was the reinforcements sent by Dehrim, they all gathered around and cheered.

They have also been suffering recently due to harassment by lizardmen and gnolls.

Now that they see the troops sent by the motherland, most of them are so moved that they are speechless.

The soldiers were arranged into the Cumberland garrison camp and waited until the leader of the elf army arrived. Bandak, Derrick and the elf leader Gabor began to discuss around the round table.

Gabr told the two of them: The elven troops have roughly pinpointed the specific locations of the lizardmen and jackals in the mountains, and they have sent spies to track and update their positions every day.

Before Gable arrived at Cumberland, he had received the latest correspondence regarding the enemy's precise location.

After conveying what happened clearly, Gabr took out the coordinate flag and pointed out on the map where the lizardmen and jackals were camping.

Derrick looked at the location pointed by Gable and thought for a while, then said: "If this news is accurate, then the war can be started smoothly according to the strategic plan we originally formulated."

Gabr nodded, pointed to a highland not far from the coordinate flag and said: "At that time, Dehrem's army can first ambush on the hilltop in the west. After we launch the attack, they will rush down the hillside to join us, and they will The Lizardmen's escape route is blocked."

Bandak said: "The elves have cooperated with Dehrim's army before, and I hope there will be a good result this time."

Gabr replied: "This is a battle carefully planned by the elves' troops. Coupled with the extraordinary combat power of the Dehrim soldiers, I am confident that I can deal with the lizardmen and gnolls at the border."

Hearing Gabour's promise, Bandak and Derrick nodded with conviction.

Although he did not participate much in the strategic deployment, from Bandak's perspective, the elves' plan this time is indeed much better than before, at least so far it is satisfactory.

On the day of the expedition, before dawn, Dehrim's warriors set off for the ambush location.

In order to avoid being discovered by the lizard people and jackal people's spies, everyone chose a more remote road, walked to the top of the mountain in the west, and hid in a place where they could have a rough look at the warrior camps of the lizard people and jackals.

Bandak was lying on the grass, using brown telescopes to observe the movements of the lizard people and jackal people.

All soldiers hide in the order of the array.

The Swadian warriors are located about halfway up the mountain. When the war artillery fire sounds, they will lead the cavalry behind them to rush down the hillside.

The sun gradually rose, and the soldiers moved their positions following the shadows of the trees.

"Coming." Bandak called in a low voice.

In the field of vision he was looking at, the troops of the Elf Kingdom were approaching the camps of the lizardmen and jackals.

The soldiers who were responsible for patrolling near the military camp did not seem to feel the approach of the Elf Kingdom soldiers. There are still small groups chatting together.

The nerves of everyone on the hillside suddenly became tense, ready to start sprinting.
