Lord of the Oasis

"arrive!"

It was exactly what the soldier who led the scout team out of the city said.

After four days of trekking in the desert, the scout team came to a flat stone road.

There is also a signboard at the entrance of the road.

Looking at the text above, it is indeed written by the elves.

"Follow this road and you should be able to reach the main city of the Elf Kingdom." Clemont said.

"Yeah." DeWitt nodded and replied affirmatively.

Then he directed the team to move forward.

After walking for about half an hour, more than 20 people finally discovered the whereabouts of the elves on the road.

"It seems that this is the right path to take." Clemont said happily.

"Kalman, go and ask for directions." DeWitt ordered the soldier beside him.

"Yes." The soldier named Kalman immediately got off the camel. After jogging for a while, he walked up to the elves on the road and asked: "Hello, we are soldiers from the Calradian Empire. What is the way to the main city of the Elf Kingdom?"

The elf seemed to be a wandering trader, and he looked at Kalman from beginning to end. He started to say "Quaa la gua la".

"What did you say?" Kalman's eyes widened, a little confused.

After bowing apologetically to the elf, he ran back to DeWitt's horse and reported: "Captain, I don't understand what the elf said."

"Huh? Doesn't he speak Esperanto?" DeWitt asked.

"I don't know what he said, but it's not Esperanto. I think it should be the language of the elves." Kalman thought for a while and replied.

"Okay. We should have encountered an elf who doesn't know Esperanto. Hurry up and get on the camel, and let's continue walking forward." DeWitt ordered.

The team continued to move forward, and the voices of discussion among the soldiers gradually spread.

"How many of the elves don't know Esperanto? They won't be able to communicate when we perform missions together in the future." A soldier said worriedly.

"There should be quite a few, we just happened to meet each other. However, I heard from the officer who came back from Cumberland: The elves are super lazy, and they are also very arrogant. There may be xenophobia or something." one of the soldiers responded.

"No way, no matter how powerful the Elf Kingdom is, doesn't it always ask for reinforcements from our country? They don't even care about this." A soldier shook his head.

"Who knows." The topic did not continue.

The group moved on, but not for a while. On the road, they met the elven army who came to greet them.

"Welcome the soldiers of the Calradia Empire to the Elf Kingdom." The leader of the Elf Army said enthusiastically.

Devitt greeted everyone to get off the camel, walked with Clemont to the leader of the Elf army, introduced himself with a smile: "Hello, I am the captain of the reconnaissance team sent by Calradia this time - Devitt ."

"I'm Clemont, and I'm responsible for assisting Captain DeWitt this time."

The leader of the elven soldiers also smiled and said: "Captain Devitt, Vice Captain Clemont. Hello, my name is Abel. I am the captain of the scouts sent by the elves. I was also the one who went to the volcano to explore the previous time. One of the participants.”

"This is the first time we met, and I will look after you from now on." DeWitt extended his right hand in a friendly manner.

Clemont consciously took a step back, leaving room for the leaders on both sides to greet each other.

"I will appreciate your care in the future." Abel calmly held DeWitt's right hand.

"Is this road leading to the main city of your country? Most of the people in our team have come to the Elf Kingdom for the first time." DeWitt asked.

Abel led him forward, and Clemont followed behind the two. Responsible for leading other soldiers.

The two parties gathered together and walked on the official road.

"Not far ahead is the gate of the main city of the Elf Kingdom.

"Abel introduced.

The two chatted as they moved forward, and finally came to the topic of the mission.

"I wonder when we will set off from the seaport of Elf Country?" DeWitt asked.

"Tomorrow morning."

"This mission really requires a race against time." DeWitt affirmed.

"The seaport is located in the west of the main city, and the soldiers will also stay in residences near the seaport." Abel explained in detail.

"General Abel, how long did it take you last to go to the dwarf tribe's new address?" DeWitt asked.

"About two months." After thinking about it for a while, Abel replied: "The time it took to take the boat was nearly a month."

"Do you need to stay at sea for a month?" DeWitt asked in surprise.

After all, this was my first time taking a boat, and I didn’t expect it would take so many days.

"Yes." Abel's expression also had a hint of bitterness: "The soldiers of Calradia still need to be mentally prepared."

Arrive at the harbor of Elf Country.

Abel sent a message to DeWitt on behalf of the Elf King: Because it was too late, so as not to disturb the rest of the soldiers. There is no need to go to the palace to say hello. When the boat sets sail tomorrow, the Elf King will come to meet him in person.

The soldiers of Calradia saw the sea for the first time.

Everyone lined up and sat on the beach, took off their shoes and played in the water.

The elven soldiers who lived with them did not quite understand their joy.

They all returned to their rooms to rest.

"Why don't the Elf soldiers come together to watch the sea?" asked a soldier sitting on the shore.

"I have lived by the sea since I was a child. I guess looking at the sea is like us looking at sand. I must be tired of seeing it a long time ago." A soldier next to him responded and analyzed.

"That's it." The soldier who asked the question turned his head and faced the sea and said, "Anyway, I feel that I will never get tired of seeing the sea for the rest of my life."

"It's time for dinner!" An Elf soldier shouted loudly towards the Calradian soldiers playing on the coast.

There is a commercial restaurant on the first floor of the accommodation. The restaurant's chef is in charge of the dinner today.

The soldiers of Calradia quickly put on their coats and shoes. We rushed to the canteen on the first floor.

"Today, I asked the chef of this restaurant to make some dishes suitable for the tastes of Calradian soldiers. Please enjoy it tonight." Abel greeted.

"Thank you for the hospitality!" All the soldiers in Calradia were in high spirits.

"Happy cooperation!" Abel toasted to everyone.

"cheers!!"

DeWitt and Clemont were nestled in the corner, toasting to each other with smiles on their faces.

After the meal, the soldiers returned to their houses to rest.
