Lord of the Oasis

After spending one night in Cumberland, the troops from the Elf Kingdom will set off back to the main city of the Elf Kingdom.

Bandak and Derrick were also in the queue. As leaders of the main reinforcements, they also needed to report the results of this battle to the Elf King in person.

And they also need to know how to deal with the lizard people and jackal people next.

Three days later, the elven troops arrived at the main city where the elves had passed.

Before Gabr could return to the military camp, he was summoned by the Elf King and brought Bandak and Derrick into the palace.

"Thank you very much for your hard work." After accepting the greetings from the three people, the Elf King consoled him.

"This plan to suppress the enemy went smoothly, and I didn't feel hard at all." Derrick responded with peace of mind.

Hearing this, the Elf King smiled and said: "This great victory is a first-rate good thing for the Elf Kingdom and Dehreim. I have already sent a message to Lord Kant regarding the outcome of this battle."

"The Elf Kingdom is far away from Dehreim. I wonder when I will receive a reply from the lord?" Bandak asked.

The Elf King thought for a while and replied: "You will receive a reply from Dehrim in about three days. I mentioned in my heart the expedition to the lizardmen and jackal territories, and I don't know what Lord Kant will do. Reply. Until then, I can only trouble you to stay in this elven country."

After thinking for a while, Bandak responded: "Well, then we will wait for the lord's reply in the main city. I hope that His Highness can summon us in time when he receives the reply."

"Of course."

The three of Bandak walked out of the palace gate.

"Commander Bandak and Commander Derrick, what are your next plans?" Gable asked.

Bandak replied: "You should find an inn nearby to stay. Anyway, after three days, a letter will be sent from Dehrim."

Derrick nodded and agreed with Bandak's idea.

Gabr said a little apologetically: "Since the two commanders have their own plans, I don't have to worry about you. Besides, my mansion near the military camp is really shabby, and I'm afraid it's not good enough to entertain you two." "

"Thank you for your kindness. Living near the palace can let me know the news in advance.

This is what we are most looking forward to right now. "Derrick said.

"Well." Gabr thought thoughtfully and then said: "I don't know what kind of instructions Lord Kant will send. Then, I will take my leave now and see you in three days."

"See you in three days."

Bandak and Derrick booked a room at the inn closest to the palace.

They go out for a walk every day, and in the evening the two of them chat and then go to bed early. It can be said to be very relaxing.

On the morning of the third day, Derrick sat at the dining table in the guest room and made tea. Neither of them planned to go out today, they just sat in the room and waited for the news from the palace.

Bandak drank a whole cup of tea. He said to Derrick: "I didn't expect that I wouldn't be able to adapt to it without the military mission."

"Commander Bandak, you haven't had much rest this whole year. You've been fighting outside or handling government affairs for the lord in the main city." Derrick said with a smile.

"But I see that you haven't thought much about going out for fun. There must be a lot of pressure to take over as the new commander." Bandak also joked back and joked.

"I'm different from Commander Bandak. When I was an officer, I would take some time off from my busy schedule." Derrick glanced at Bandak pretending to be sly, and then took a sip of tea with peace of mind.

Bandak chuckled softly and said nothing more.

Over the past three days, the two of them had talked about a lot of each other's experiences. The relationship has gradually become more familiar, and it is no longer as alienated and isolated as before.

Not long after the two fell silent, a voice of inquiry came from outside the door: "Is this the room where Commander Bandak and Commander Derrick belong?"

Bandak stood up in a hurry to look at the door and saw an elf dressed in guard uniform standing outside the door.

After saluting, the elf guard said to the two of them: "His Royal Highness the Elf King asked me to tell you two to enter the palace. He said that it was Dehrim who sent a reply."

Derrick and Bandak nodded together and said, "Then I'll trouble you to lead the way."

Walking outside the main hall of the palace, Bandak and the others met Gabr in military uniform at the door. It turned out that the Elf King had advertised that the three of them would enter the palace together.

After greeting each other, they walked into the main hall one after another.

"His Royal Highness the Elf King, I heard that you received a reply from the lord." Bandak stepped forward and asked the Elf King.

"Yes." The Elf King took out a piece of letter paper from his arms and said, "You and Commander Derrick should take a look at it together. There are some instructions issued to you on this."

After reading it quickly, Bandak handed the letter to Derrick, then turned around and asked, "Are we leaving for Cumberland immediately?"

The letter written on the letter stated that Dehrim's troops would go to the territories of the lizardmen and gnolls together with the troops of the Elf Kingdom.

"Well, but I want Gabr to go with you with the march," the Elf King said.

"Preparations for the march have been completed in accordance with His Highness's instructions." Gablehui reported.

"That means we are ready. I don't know how the troops left by the lizardmen and jackals to defend the city will react. But this trip is mainly to search for the results of the battle. I hope you can return safely." The Elf King finally gave instructions.

The three responded calmly: "Yes!"

After walking out of the palace, Bandak and Derrick boarded the carriage prepared for them and headed to Cumberland with the assembled elf soldiers.

After receiving the message from the main city, Cumberland's soldiers also began to prepare seriously.

Training is a must.

The residents of Cumberland provided them with a wide field as a training ground, and the leading officers would lead their teams to achieve daily training targets.

Kant said in his letter: The supplies this time were provided by Cumberland. Being able to provide rations for 10,000 soldiers on the way to the lizardman and jackal territory in a short period of time as required shows that Cumberland's development in just six months is astonishing.

Kant also learned this fact from the financial accounts uploaded every month.

By the time Bandak and the others arrived in Cumberland, all the soldiers were ready.

In the early morning of the fourth day, nearly 20,000 soldiers set off from Cumberland to the territory of the lizardmen and gnolls.

The territory of the lizardmen and gnolls is not far from the boundary of the Elf Kingdom.

The three countries are close to one coast and can be reached by walking straight along the coast.

However, this journey still takes about four or five days.

March during the day and camp at night.

The soldiers moved at full speed towards their destination.
