Lord of the Oasis

"Were the soldiers sleeping when the ship ran aground?" Kant asked.

"Well," the Elf King recalled Raphael's words and said, "It was said to be in the early morning. The soldiers had already rested, but they were awakened by the alarm bell."

"What about the other people on the ship? I mean the captain." Kant thought for a while and asked.

"Those people seemed to have escaped in the lifeboat when the accident first occurred." The Elf King said: "Speaking of this, we are still in contact with the operation of the sunken ship. We have no way of knowing whether the crew members arrived safely."

"Yeah. It's better to contact those people as soon as possible." Kant said.

The two chatted about various details about the accident. Until the carriage arrived at the palace of the Elf Kingdom.

After Kant sat down in his seat, he asked the Elf King: "Your Highness, since you have prepared such a sumptuous meal. Why don't you invite the Elf soldiers who escaped death to come and reward them. I happen to be a little bit too. I want to ask them something.”

Meeting the elf soldiers who had stayed on the island was the primary purpose of Kant's visit.

Kant's urgent request can be regarded as a helpless act. After all, he and Bandak will set off for Cumberland tomorrow. There wasn't much time left.

The Elf King was stunned for a second after hearing Kant's request. Then he smiled and agreed: "His Royal Highness Kant's proposal is very good. I will send someone to call them here."

"Thank you, His Majesty the Elf King, for your permission." Kant nodded.

The waiter first served the aperitif, and the two chatted while sipping the wine.

Bandak and others did not enter the palace, but enjoyed dinner in the restaurant in the military camp.

After a while, an elf soldier led Raphael and his entourage into the palace, and they all bowed to the two monarchs: "His Royal Highness the Elf King, His Highness Kant."

"Please get up." Kant said softly.

After all the elf soldiers raised their faces, Kant put down the wine glass and measured it carefully.

Raphael kept avoiding Kant's gaze and glanced elsewhere.

"Hurry up and sit down. His Highness Kant would like to have a good chat with you." The Elf King greeted cordially.

The soldiers leading the way had already retreated, and the elf soldiers walked eagerly to the newly installed tables and chairs and sat down cross-legged.

After all, they had never dined with anyone of the lord level before, and this time it was not only the monarch of their own family, but also the monarch of the country whose soldiers they framed, so it was inevitable that they would feel timid.

"Thank you for your hard work. DeWitt and the others must have received a lot of care from you during their lifetime. I give this glass of wine to you on behalf of them." Kant exhaled and said with a smile.

Looking at the healthy and active appearance of these soldiers, Kant couldn't help but think in his heart: It would be great if some of Calradia's soldiers escaped from that disaster.

"We couldn't do anything for Calradia's reinforcements." Raphael raised his glass and responded: "It is really sad to suffer such a sudden disaster."

"I heard that there is a general named Abel in your team who is very courageous. I wonder where he is now?" Kant took a sip of wine, changed the subject, and asked the elf soldiers.

"He is still on the island and is responsible for guarding the camp." Raphael's hand under the table couldn't help but start to tremble.

Every time Kant looked at him, he was shocked by the sharpness in those eyes.

I don't know if I am too guilty or if the other party's aura is too strong.

"A camp on an island?" Kant looked a little surprised and said, "According to the letter sent by your outpost, aren't you currently hiding in the mountains? When was there an additional camp?"

"That's right." The Elf King also asked: "Didn't it say that the forces on the island have taken away the outpost on the beach?"

Raphael's heart skipped a beat when he heard the question. I realized that I had let something slip. He tried hard to make amends: "Because...the forces on the island returned the seaside residence to us.

So we built a new campground. "

"Why was it returned to you?" Kant's eyes became sharp.

He started from a small oasis, so he naturally knows the cruelty of this reality. I have never heard of someone who would return territory without reason after taking it away.

"Because..." Raphael was so nervous that he could not speak because of Kant's pressing steps.

"Raphael?" The Elf King frowned and called.

Kant's eyes darkened and his expression became serious. Said: "Did you exchange anything with the forces on the island?"

Raphael suddenly raised his head and looked at Kant. Their eyes collided. The thoughts in Raphael's mind were like a mess, and Kant's eyes were like a shadow blade, cutting off his way back.

Raphael shrugged his shoulders and said, "Yes."

The Elf King looked in disbelief and asked: "You, no, you betrayed the Elf Kingdom?"

"I guess they not only betrayed the Elf Kingdom, but also betrayed the soldiers on the ship." Kant's cold eyes swept over every elf soldier present: "Tell me, what did you do on the ship?"

Raphael's eyes were filled with blood. He raised his head and stated to Kant: "We installed bombs on the ship."

"Asshole!" The Elf King raised his hand and threw the wine glass in front of Raphael: "You heartless people!"

The liquid in the cup splashed on the faces of Raphael and several other kneeling elven soldiers.

Raphael felt a cold liquid streak across his face, and he suddenly became furious and slapped the table. Pointing at the Elf King and Kant, he roared: "You say we are heartless, what qualifications do you have to say that! When we were isolated on the island and asked you for help, didn't you all ignore it with indifference? After all, we were all alone. , you deserve all this! If it weren’t for the fact that Abel and I have been comrades-in-arms for ten years, I would have burned them all on fire."

"It's really crazy! Come here!" The Elf King shouted to the outside of the palace.

A row of soldiers rushed into the hall and surrounded Raphael and his party.

"It was indeed our fault that we failed to reinforce in time." Kant said calmly: "But it's just the same thing. You guys killed more than twenty Calradian soldiers on the ship. You also think this is the case. Of course?"

"Oh, I didn't kill anyone." Raphael snorted coldly: "We will listen to whoever saves our lives. It can only be said that things on this island were not something that outsiders could participate in from the beginning. "

"No killer? What do you mean?" Kant asked quickly.
