Lord of the Oasis

Chapter 697. Soldiers arriving at the starting point

It will take about half a month to go to the Elf Country.

In order to ensure that they could travel lightly, Kant did not let the soldiers who went on the expedition bring much luggage.

Instead, they were ordered to carry out secondary supplies when passing through Durandal.

More than twenty soldiers rode camels and walked into the city gate of Durandal covered with dust.

The basic public facilities in the city have been built. While meeting the conditions of migrant workers and soldiers, there are still many residences available for the temporary residence of the soldiers who come.

After DeWitt told his soldiers the news, the soldiers cheered because they didn't have to camp outdoors tonight.

"Everyone's residence is arranged together. You must return to your residence at ten o'clock in the evening, and I will come to check the wards." DeWitt explained.

"Yes!" the soldiers replied.

Led by local soldiers from Durandal, the group walked into the houses near the city center.

"Four people per room, the rooms on the third floor are all reserved for you." The soldier leading the way explained.

"Thank you." DeWitt thanked him.

"It's okay. There will be a dinner to entertain you at the military camp in the evening. Please be there before six o'clock." The soldier leading the way finally explained.

"Okay, please." DeWitt bowed.

The soldier shook his head, said goodbye and left.

DeWitt arranged for everyone to assign rooms and waited until everyone settled in their rooms.

Clemont greeted in front of each door: "Everyone, change your clothes and prepare to go to the military camp. Durandal's garrison has sent a carriage to pick us up."

"Carriage?!" Two or three soldiers excitedly rushed to the corridor outside the door and exclaimed.

"I don't think I've ever been in a carriage before," said one soldier.

"Okay, okay, you can sit down soon. Go back to your room quickly, change out of your dusty clothes, and wash your face." Clemont stopped the soldiers back to the door and drove them.

Because everyone is a soldier, they don't pay much attention to their external clothing and the like.

Under Clemont's order, he just tidied up and followed the captain downstairs.

"Hello." Sitting next to the carriage was Derrick, who was sent to Durandal a few months ago. At this moment, he was clearly greeting the soldiers who were walking out of the door.

"Commander Derrick?!" The two soldiers at the forefront exclaimed, and then quickly saluted.

Unexpectedly, Commander Derrick would come to pick them up in person.

"Commander Derrick!" DeWitt shouted loudly, and then he led the soldiers behind him to form a formation and stand neatly in front of Derrick.

Derrick glanced at everyone, then chuckled and said, "Get in the car. The brothers in the military camp are still waiting for you."

DeWitt turned around and directed his soldiers to get into the carriage.

"Long time no see." Clemont stepped onto the carriage where Derrick was sitting, and extended his hand with red eyes.

The two of them were originally in the same queue, after Derrick was promoted to commander. Clemont also expressed that he wanted to continue to be Derrick's subordinate.

Derrick glanced at Clemont's extended hand and did not hold it back. Instead, he moved forward and hugged this comrade he hadn't seen for many days.

"I heard that you are the vice-captain of your team?" Derrick patted Clemont's back with his hand to stop the other man's moved whimpering. After letting go, he asked Clemont with a smile.

"Yes." Clemont, still immersed in his own emotions, answered affirmatively to Derrick's question.

"Well done." Derrick encouraged him with a smile.

The groom began to drive the carriage forward.

It was the first time for soldiers to try riding a carriage. A lively discussion ensued.

"It's quite comfortable to sit in this carriage." A soldier sighed.

"No wonder Captain Clement asked us to change our clothes. If this satin gets stained, we can't afford to pay for it." A soldier touched the comfortable cushion and said,

sighed.

"Come on, come on. Don't look like a country bumpkin entering the city." A soldier said with disgust.

"What's wrong with you, Austinger?" a soldier asked the soldier next to him.

The soldier named Austin's face was slightly pale, and he was holding on to the window rails of the carriage. After hearing the question, he turned around and said uncomfortably: "Why do I feel that riding in this carriage is more dizzy than riding a horse?"

"Huh? How could you faint?" the soldier asked strangely.

"No, I feel like I'm going to vomit." Austinger let go of his hand, and his upper body fell between his knees.

"Eh?! Wait, are you okay? Don't throw up, we are going to have dinner." The soldier said anxiously: "Hey! Someone is about to throw up here!"

The carriage drove to the entrance of the military camp, and the soldiers got off the carriage one after another.

Clemont and Derrick's carriage was the leading one.

So the two of them got off the carriage earlier than anyone else.

"Wow! Durandal's military camp is really magnificent." Clemont sighed after seeing the appearance of the military camp.

"It's just been built. It looks relatively new." Derrick said with a smile.

"Come here! Someone is feeling unwell here!"

Clemont heard the call from the soldiers behind him and turned around urgently to lock his sight. Then he apologized to Derrick and said, "I'm sorry, but there seems to be something wrong with one of our soldiers."

After the words fell, he hurriedly ran towards the source of the sound.

When he reached the soldier who was shouting hard, he found that DeWitt had also rushed over urgently.

"What's wrong?!" DeWitt asked anxiously.

The soldier pointed at Austinger who was slumped beside the carriage and said: "He has been saying that he is 'very dizzy' since he got on the carriage. He also vomited just now and seems to be unable to walk now."

"Who is this?" DeWitt asked confused. For now, he hasn't been able to match all the warriors' names with their faces.

"Austenger, from the fourth team." Before the soldier could reply, Clemont took over and explained.

"Okay." DeWitt commanded: "Help the fainted soldier to the carriage to rest first. Then prepare some water for him."

"There may not be much ventilation in the carriage, so we might as well help him to the resting area of ​​our military camp." Derrick suggested as he walked out from the crowd.

"Is it really convenient?" DeWitt was still a little nervous facing Commander Derrick and asked hesitantly.

"It's okay. Besides, I arranged for the carriage to pick you up on my own initiative. I really didn't consider everyone's habits. It was really not thoughtful." Derrick said slightly apologetically.

"This, it's nothing. Thank you, Commander Derrick." DeWitt said gratefully, dispelling Derrick's concerns.
