Lord of the Oasis

Chapter 698. Conditions for serving as leader

Austinger was helped by Clemont and another soldier from the reconnaissance team to the resting place Derrick had mentioned.

"I told you that if you can't ride in the carriage, you should have told me earlier. Everyone will get into a mess over you." After sitting down on the chair in the lounge, the soldier complained to Austinge.

"This is also my first time riding a carriage. I didn't expect it to be like this." Austinger lowered his head and replied. There was a hint of guilt in his tone.

"You should have a good rest here. Commander Derrick said that the kitchen will prepare some light meals for you. Let's go first." Clemont explained.

After seeing Austinge nod, Clemont walked out with the soldiers beside him.

By the time the two of them went to the banquet venue, the banquet had already begun.

The scouts mingled lively with the local soldiers in Durandal. Telling each other some funny jokes.

"Why did you start eating so quickly?" The soldier following Clemont walked to the table of his familiar comrades and asked dissatisfied.

"Come on, come on, let's get together." The sitting soldier greeted him without any hesitation.

As soon as Clemont entered the venue, he noticed that Derrick and DeWitt were sitting in the upper seats and waving hello to him.

Seeing the empty seat next to Derrick, Clemont walked over silently.

"Thank you for your hard work." DeWitt consoled him.

"It's okay," Clemont replied.

"I've been chatting with Captain DeWitt for a long time. You just came here. I already told you to leave the fainted soldiers to my soldiers to take care of them," Derrick said.

"How was your chat? Did you drink?" Clemont sat down in his seat and asked, changing the topic.

"I won't drink today. I'm afraid it will delay your schedule." Derrick explained.

"I'm asking Commander Derrick for advice on how to do his job as captain." DeWitt said with a smile.

"By the way, we were just talking here when you came." Derrick nodded to DeWitt, then turned to Clemont and said with a smile: "Clement, can you tell me what you think of as a person?" The standards a leader should have.”

"I..." Clemont raised the tea cup and couldn't help but waver his eyes: "I should still be in the learning stage. I'm not very clear."

"Yeah." Derrick did not continue to question him, but turned to DeWitt and asked the same question: "Where is Captain DeWitt?"

"I think as a leader, you should do everything well. You should always make the right decision at critical moments." DeWitt replied: "You must be a perfect person."

"Haha." Derrick said with a smile: "You cannot become a good leader with such a mentality."

"Why?" DeWitt asked curiously.

Clemont also turned his attention to Derrick, trying to get an answer from him.

"You have to know that our lives are always full of contradictions. The power of contradictions allows us to live. So if you blindly pursue perfection, you will not be able to compete with the inertia brought about by the contradictions of this world. You The team behind him will also be destroyed." Derrick took a sip of tea and continued: "Whether it is good strengths or shortcomings that cannot be exposed. The leader fills the gap in the existence of the entire group. Only you can put your whole body into it. Connect with the group, and when you shine, others will also notice your group. In this way, with the accumulation of time, you can become a strong force that is allowed by the world."

After listening to what Derrick said, DeWitt and Clemont were silent for a while without making a sound.

"I didn't expect that Commander Derrick's belief was backed by such a calm opinion." DeWitt said with emotion.

"There are so many people who have become leaders in this world. Many of them are talented people of all kinds. In their hearts, they also have a different definition of the position of leader. I just said that I am sitting here It's just what I feel when I'm in this position.

The most important thing for you now is to have confidence and don't imagine how it will end at the beginning. Next, your group will have to stay outside Calradia for about half a year. Don't let the group break up in the first place. "Derrick was a little embarrassed about DeWitt's praise, and then said to the two of them. The last sentence, Derrick said specifically to Derrick. His eyes were extremely determined.

"Yes. Commander Derrick." DeWitt replied seriously.

"Do all leaders need to have the same vision as when Derrick led you?" Clemont asked softly.

"Actually, I don't think I'm suitable to be regarded as a leader." Derrick said with a smile: "Leaders always look to the future. But I don't have that kind of talent. In order not to appear too ordinary, I can only I cast my sights on the past. I want to explore from the origin of things to find some principles that can sustain our survival.”

"I'm still taught a lesson." DeWitt noticed that Derrick's mood seemed a little depressed, and immediately raised his tea cup to offer a tea ceremony to Derrick.

"I hope you have a smooth journey when you set off tomorrow." Derrick responded.

The three of them all raised their glasses and drank the tea.

"Don't drink too much tea, otherwise you won't be able to sleep tonight." Derrick joked.

The next day, early morning.

The military camp sent supplies for supplies, and while the scouts were still washing, they kindly helped them load the supplies on the camels.

After the soldiers finished breakfast, they went out and saw a camel team loaded with supplies parked in front of the door.

They all thanked the Durandal garrison on the side.

"You're welcome, this is what we should do." The representative of the soldiers in the military camp replied: "If you want to go to the Elf Kingdom, you need to go out from the west gate. Follow that road and walk for four or five days. You can see We have reached the official road of the Elf Kingdom. Let me lead the way for everyone."

After the words fell, the soldier representatives dismissed the remaining soldiers and asked them to return to the military camp.

DeWitt led all the soldiers to follow the soldier representatives and set off towards the city gate.

After arriving outside the city gate. DeWitt happily thanked the soldier representatives again: "Thank you for your hard work."

"Well, I wish you a safe journey. When you come back, I hope to see you return safely along this road in four months." The soldier representative said goodbye.

More than twenty soldiers mounted their camels and arranged themselves in order of the squad.

Set off towards the desert.

"We can reach the Elf Kingdom in five days," DeWitt said.

"Yes." Clemont replied: "We will meet up with the elven soldiers soon."
