Lord of the Oasis

At the dinner, the three leaders did not drink more than a few glasses of wine.

After a simple dinner. Raphael walked up to the second floor with DeWitt and others.

Stepped into a room around the corner.

There was no bed furnishings in the room, only a round table in the middle and bookcases against the wall.

Raphael walked to the bookcase on the left and opened the drawer. A rolled-up map was taken out.

"This is the official map of Crow Island. You can buy it for a few silver coins at the foot of the mountain." Raphael introduced the map while spreading it out on the round table.

"This map has been used many times." Clemont speculated as he looked at the rolled-up edges of the map.

"That's right." Raphael pressed the corner of the map with an extinguished candlestick and continued: "The territorial scope of the forces on Crow Island has been changing. The path taken by the elven team who explored it before There is no entrenched power. But now the situation has changed. The route has to be re-planned."

All four people's eyes were focused on the marked map.

"This yellow line represents the route you are taking this time." Raphael explained: "Although the route you take tries to avoid concentrated communities, you may still encounter these four Races of nomads: the tree people in the front mountain, the trolls in the valley, the dragons entrenched by the volcano, and the snake girls in the caves.”

"We will pass by the border of their territory, right?" Abel asked.

"Yes, so you still have some luck in avoiding conflicts with any of them." Raphael nodded and continued: "The first one to bear the brunt is naturally the tree people in the front mountain. The tree people have a moody temperament. , sometimes pure and kind, sometimes violent. They usually act in groups, and if you accidentally break into their formation, you will most likely not be able to escape. Eventually, it will be slowly eroded."

"Then is there any way to crack it?" Clement asked.

"Most tree people are afraid of open flames. Maybe that will bring you a glimmer of life." Rafael closed his eyes and thought about it in his mind, then reminded: "The formation created by the tree people will give people a sense of direction. Chaos. This is something we must always be wary of when playing against each other.”

"How did you get this information?" DeWitt asked.

"Before we were fully familiar with this mountain range, many people in our team were ambushed by the tree people. These are the conclusions of our colleagues who escaped death." Raphael said: "The rest of the following The three races are too far apart. We have never seen them before. I hope you can get some information about them before officially facing them. The power of the Elf Site can only go so far."

"What I have been saying since the beginning: Captain Raphael, you have completed your mission very well." DeWitt said sincerely: "Next, it depends on us."

The next day, fifty soldiers got ready and set out.

When they walked out of the Elf Station's territory, Raphael immediately sent someone down the mountain to deliver a message to the outside of the island.

There are two letters, one sent to the main elf city and one sent to Calradia.

"Your Highness Kande." An attendant hurried to the door of the Senate Hall and saluted.

"Hmm. What's wrong?" Kant raised his head and asked.

"General Derrick, he's back in the city," the guard reported.

"Okay, prepare the horses and go to the city gate." Kant gave simple instructions.

When Derrick walked into the city gate of Dehreim, the long-standing homesickness finally made him burst into tears.

"Commander Derrick, welcome back." Kant rode towards Derrick and shouted happily.

After Derrick saw Kant, he immediately got off his horse.

He saluted in front of Kant's horse and said, "Your Highness Kant."

"My body must be very tired after living in the open air for days. No need to be polite, get up quickly." Kant got off his horse and helped Derrick to stand up.

"Adonis set out for Durandal for about a month,

You have just returned to Dhrim. Is the project going well over there? Kant asked, riding side by side with Derrick.

"Now in terms of engineering, everything is going smoothly. The coal production of the coal plant is also steadily increasing." Derrick Hui reported.

"That's good." Kant nodded and said happily: "The construction of Durandal will almost enter the second stage."

The two rode towards the palace while chatting about Durandal's current situation.

"We have prepared a simple banquet in the palace for you to receive the wind and wash away the dust. Let's have lunch together today." Kant said to Derrick.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Derrick bowed.

The two of them took their seats in the side room where Kant used to eat.

The attendant brought the dishes prepared by the royal chef and placed them on the table.

"Stand back." Kant ordered.

The captain of the guards led the other guards and left the palace.

"The army sent to assist the Elf Kingdom this time must also have passed through Durandal." Kant started the conversation and said.

"It's been nearly two months since they set off." Derrick responded.

"Well, half a month ago, I received a letter from DeWitt from the Elf Kingdom." Kant said.

"Did they encounter any trouble on the road?" Derrick asked curiously.

"That's not true, it's just a report as usual." Kant replied: "I just heard that the leader sent by the Elf Kingdom is also a newcomer."

"Three new leaders?" Derrick smiled: "Maybe it's quite suitable."

"It is said that you hosted a banquet for that group of soldiers in the military camp." Kant also laughed: "How does it feel? The talents selected by Captain Aubrey."

"The soldiers chosen by Captain Aubrey are naturally very capable. It's just that everyone seems to be relatively new to them. It seems they still need a period of getting used to." Derrick commented seriously.

"Where are the two captains?" Kant continued to ask after chewing a bite of food.

"Of these two captains, one is my former comrade. We know each other relatively well. The other only had a conversation during the banquet." Derrick replied.

"Do you think they can shoulder the responsibility of captain?" Kant said.

"You can give it a try. Maybe after them, there will be standards more suitable for selecting leaders among the masses." Derrick replied with a hint of meaning.

After Kant heard this, he nodded approvingly: "You are right."

Deep in the mountains, an army was literally crawling forward in the jungle. Some people even used branches to cover themselves up.

"We are about to reach the territory of the tree people. Inform the soldiers behind to be careful." DeWitt ordered in a low voice to the surrounding soldiers.

"Yes." A Calradian soldier replied.
