Lord of the Oasis

"How do you say that?" DeWitt asked curiously.

"Haha, the territory on this island has been divided up by vagrants of various races." The vagrants continued to explain to the reconnaissance army: "In fact, it is not only the land, but also the sea area close to the land: one will be replaced every dozens of sea miles. Master. This is why people who do maritime business can only hide in secret."

"Then why do we have to live in a place like this?" one soldier asked.

"The crew also lives here." The homeless man spread his hands and pointed to the steel plate roof and said: "The cabin above is not for people to live in. It is a room used to display sacrifices to the griffons. I want to go there. To survive on the sea, you have to let the griffins let you go. Generally speaking, the money earned by the sea monsters driving the boats is actually not much."

"That's it." DeWitt nodded clearly.

After the Calradian soldiers understood what happened, they stopped complaining.

Abel also heard the same explanation from the crew, and returned to the cabin to introduce to everyone: no meals are provided on the ship, and fires are prohibited. In these days, the soldiers could only live on the dry food in their bags.

The group of people drifted on this ship at sea for three or four days. Every night they would be awakened by the footsteps of griffins arriving on the deck, and they would spend the rest of the night in fear.

On the evening of the fourth day, the scouts arrived near the harbor. This route only goes so far. All passengers need to disembark and walk to the harbor.

After DeWitt led the soldiers along the coast for half an hour, they saw the Elf outpost.

Today's outpost has been decorated, completely different from what it looked like when we arrived on the island.

"It's Raphael!" Clement shouted happily. Looking in the direction he pointed, Raphael's figure appeared in everyone's sight.

"You are back." Raphael happily led a group of elven soldiers to greet them.

Abel looked at these unfamiliar elven soldiers and asked, "This is it?"

"This is the reinforcement sent by His Highness the Elf King to the outpost. They helped us regain the territory on the shore of the island." Raphael explained: "His Highness Kant of the Calradia Empire also wanted to send troops, but after receiving our After replying to the letter, I gave up the decision.”

"That's it." Abel laughed and said, "I'm so happy for you."

"Your story has spread throughout the island. But I still want to hear it from your own mouth." Rafael responded: "Put down your luggage first. We have built a new camp here. After resting tonight, we will start tomorrow Then set off to return home.”

Upon hearing the word 'return home', all the soldiers in the reconnaissance team cheered and jumped up with joy.

While on the road, everyone felt unsure about whether they could persist to the end.

Now that I can definitely hear the news of leaving for home, I naturally feel relaxed.

"Yes." DeWitt nodded and replied: "But before telling you our story, I want to write a letter to His Majesty Kant to report that he is safe."

"Of course." Raphael said with a smile.

The camp built by the elves on the seaside is naturally many times better than the one randomly set up by the reconnaissance team in the mountains.

Even if a team lives in the same tent, there is still plenty of space.

DeWitt sat down in his tent, leaned over the desk, and began to write a letter to Dehreem.

Clemont sat quietly aside and watched him write the letter silently.

Abel was already sitting by the fire chatting with Raphael, and learned from Raphael that it was not easy for the elven soldiers to regain their territory. The two sides clashed on the frontal battlefield three times.

Abel talked about the conditions the reconnaissance team encountered along the way and the several soldiers who died in the accident.

"It's all because of our inexperience that the soldiers were put in danger." Abel blamed himself.

"It is inevitable to encounter such emergencies on the road. After all, you cannot control the hearts of every soldier." Raphael shook his head and said: "You and your group can return to the harbor in your current state.

It is already a proof of luck and strength. "

"Thank you." Abel nodded and said, "DeWitt and Clemont are really competent captains. When I stay with them, although there are times when they are unreliable, I feel at ease most of the time."

"I feel it." Raphael nodded: "The way the soldiers looked at the three of you has proven that what you said is true. Now that the mission is over, you can start to rest."

"No," Abel shook his head and said, "We still have to bring the news from this island back to the country. This is a very important step."

"Is it important?" Raphael asked doubtfully. In his eyes: The Elf Kingdom and the Empire of Calradia have nothing to do with the forces on this island.

"The forces behind this island have already set their sights on us." Abel said in a deep voice.

Then, Abel recounted to Raphael the process of the attack outside the town.

"It seems that these people are not going to let us go easily." Raphael also noticed the seriousness of the matter.

"Now they are busy fighting against the superficial forces. If they gain a chance to win, then our situation will also become serious." Abel analyzed.

"I heard from you that homeless people of most races on the island were involved. And some races are at odds with each other." Raphael said: "Then, to find out the mastermind behind this whole incident, we can It becomes difficult.”

"Yes," Abel replied.

"Then it's better to ask you to stay on this island for a while. I'll go back and report the news to His Majesty." Raphael suggested: "If we withdraw from the island at this time. Then we want to observe the island in the future. The situation has become more difficult.”

Abel was a little surprised by the suggestion given by Raphael and asked: "You mean...let me and my soldiers stay on this island for another month?"

"Yes, wait until I come with new personnel to change the guard with you." Raphael said seriously.

Abel thought for a while and replied: "Okay, but how many people are willing to stay with me, we can't force it."

In his mind, the joy and excitement of the Elf soldiers when they talked about going home appeared in his mind.

"Of course." Raphael nodded.

After the two settled the matter, it was time for dinner. Then they walked out of the camp together and ate with the soldiers.

DeWitt and Clement arrived late after writing the letter. Joined the crowd.

"Have your letters been sent?" Raphael asked with concern.

"Yes." DeWitt nodded and said, "It has been handed over to the messenger."
