Lord of the Oasis

"The list." The elf soldier handed a piece of paper to Abel and said, "The dwarf asked me to give it to you."

Abel raised his eyebrows and said, "Everyone who registers their name will get this, right?"

"Yes." The elf soldier replied.

"That's it." Abel took the list and read it carefully.

He barely knew the people on the list. There is also no ethnicity listed after the name.

"There are so many people involved behind the dragon traitor?" Abel said in surprise.

"There are no names like Raphael or the others on it," the elf soldier said.

Abel nodded and recalled the timeline. He opened his mouth and said: "Although the authenticity of this list cannot be determined, Raphael was indeed still in the mountains and forests at that time, delivering news to us. He had not yet participated in the group of dark side forces."

"Yes." The soldier nodded after hearing Abel's explanation.

"How did the dwarf give you the list?" Abel put the page away and asked the soldier.

"The same paper was piled up in a big pile at the corner of the table where the name book was placed. It seems that you left before the dwarf had time to hand it to you." The soldier thought for a moment and said, "After knowing that I am with you, After the news, the dwarf gave me this list.”

"Did he say anything to you?" Abel continued to ask.

The soldier tilted his head, thought for a while, and replied, "No."

"Okay. Now we have to go back quickly." Abel said: "The gate of the town will be closed at six o'clock in the afternoon."

"Yes," the soldier responded.

The two of them immediately set off, walked out of the theater, followed the directions of the road signs, and ran towards the city gate.

After returning to the military camp, Abel immediately called together the soldiers who returned to the military camp. He said to them: "Everyone, there is no need to go to the city to keep an eye on them tomorrow. The people at the shipping company are more suitable for surveillance than us. We have been targeted by the forces from the dark side."

"Captain! The ship company has received news from the Elf Kingdom. His Majesty Kant of Calradia asked us not to act rashly until he arrives at the island with Calradian soldiers." A soldier who received the letter rushed in In the camp, report to Abel.

Abel took the letter,

He glanced at the date signed on the envelope and mentally calculated that Kant and his party would arrive at the coast the day after tomorrow.

"It seems that the decision we made at the beginning was correct. His Majesty Kant did not want to alert the enemy." Abel ordered: "Everyone should stay still for now and act according to the usual schedule in the military camp. Let those who monitor us relax their vigilance. After His Highness Kant arrives, we will prepare the next step."

"Yes!" the soldiers responded.

"Remember to keep in touch with the shipping company at all times. The information they have is also very important." Abel ordered a subordinate standing next to him.

"Yes, Captain!"

On the day when Kant's ship was expected to arrive, Abel stood on the shore of the harbor early and waited.

The sparkling sea reflected his melancholy face.

Letters came from the past few days, informing them that seven Calradian soldiers were killed and that DeWitt and others had undergone amputation surgery.

The two most difficult people for Abel to face at this moment: one is DeWitt himself, and the other is Raphael, who has been his friend for ten years.

DeWitt, if he didn't take the initiative to come to his door and apologize, it would be difficult to see him again in his life.

And Raphael was sitting on this small boat that was about to arrive at the harbor.

Abel's whole body fell into a deep sense of powerlessness. He didn't know what it would be like to see Raphael.

"Tuk-" a whistle sounded in the distance.

The ship engraved with the national emblem of Calradia sailed into the harbor. Abel clenched his hands into fists and walked towards the exit of the harbor.

He was the only one who came to greet us today.

The reasons: First, he did not want to attract the attention of the dark side forces for the time being, and second, Abel was worried that his soldiers would not be able to control their emotions. Do something irreversible to Raphael.

Kant was at the forefront of the team, and his powerful aura instantly captured the attention of surrounding passers-by.

Abel also raised his head and looked over following the people's comments.

Kant walked straight towards Bandak and greeted: "Hello, I am the lord of Calradia, Kant."

"Hello, Your Majesty Kant." Abel was stunned for a second, then recovered and saluted: "I am the captain of the elf soldiers stationed on the island, Abel."

"Well, I heard your name." Kant nodded and said.

"About the Calradian soldiers who set off from the island," Abel said, clenching his fists.

"It's over." Kant patted his shoulder and consoled him: "We are here to get an explanation for their sacrifice."

"I'm really sorry." Abel said with a sad expression.

This sadness had been accumulating in his heart since the day the news came. It was only now, after meeting Kant and others, that he finally revealed all these emotions.

"It's okay." Kant looked at him and said. He kept his hand on Abel's rickety back.

Bandak couldn't help but said to Abel with emotion: "You don't have to blame yourself."

"I'll take you to the camp. The soldiers are also waiting for you." Abel calmed down his emotions and said to Kant.

"Okay." Kant responded.

A group of people set off from the harbor and headed for the camp.

On the way, Abel reported to Kant and Bandak what happened when he entered the city the day before yesterday.

After listening to Abel's statement, Kant thought for a while and said: "Actually, I don't really believe that there are traitors in the Dragon Clan. This activity should be a way for the Dragon Clan to distinguish the forces on the island. How to take sides.”

"Yes, I think so too." Bandak agreed: "Other than that, I really can't think of why the Dragon Clan made such a fuss."

Abel was slightly surprised by the two men's speculations and asked tentatively: "Then what should we do now?"

"You made the right choice to withdraw the elf soldiers in the city." Kant said: "The forces on the island shore are all converging here, and that place is really not suitable for you to stay longer. We still follow our original plan, one step at a time One step at a time. Let’s make arrangements for tomorrow. I want to go to the shipping club and meet that group of people.”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Abel and Bandak replied in unison.

After a while, Abel took out the list in his arms and asked Kant: "Your Majesty, do you need to look at this list again?"

"This list is still very important." Kant took the list and read it carefully.
