Lord of the Oasis

"Happy New Year!" DeWitt said knowingly.

The two of them sat down on the chairs added by the soldiers with smiles on their faces.

"Today can't really be the New Year, right?" Clemont said, looking at the dishes on the table.

"That's not right..." DeWitt recalled in his mind: "Today should be in mid-December."

"Yeah. But the soldiers in the kitchen prepared these for us." Levin explained.

"Then let's celebrate today as New Year." DeWitt said with a relaxed smile.

"Want to drink?" Clemont glanced at the soldiers and asked with a smile.

"Okay!" Jeb responded immediately.

"Jeb, sit down quickly, why have you been shouting like this all day?" Clemont looked at Jeb who was about to jump out of his seat, and said funnyly: "Then let a few people go to the kitchen and bring out a few bottles of wine, and say It’s authorized by the captain.”

"Yes!" Several impatient people responded immediately, got rid of their chairs and ran out.

Everyone chatted while waiting for the red wine to be brought to the table.

In the noisy atmosphere, several bottles of red wine were brought out from the back kitchen by the soldiers.

The soldiers in the kitchen took off their aprons and followed them happily.

"Haven't you already eaten? And you're here to mess with us." A soldier joked to the soldiers in the kitchen.

"No, no. Why don't you come and have a drink?" the soldiers in the kitchen replied without any hesitation.

"Come and sit down." Levin stood up and greeted.

As the number of people increased, the space on the table became narrower.

DeWitt stood up, took a bottle of red wine, and popped the cap off the corner of the table. He raised the bottle and said to everyone: "I know everyone is a little regretful that we can't spend the New Year at Dehreem's house this year. So tonight, everyone is free to eat, drink, and play. I hope we can complete the task smoothly, Everyone returned to Dhrim safe and sound."

"Okay!" The soldiers' wine glasses were also filled with wine, and they raised their glasses in response.

DeWitt took a swig of wine, wiped his mouth, and said to the soldiers: "Everyone, start eating."

After the soldiers took a sip of red wine, there was a trace of aftertaste on their faces. But some people immediately raised their knives and forks to the dishes on their plates after hearing what DeWitt said.

"I'll serve you some turkey." Austinger picked up Gilbert's dinner plate and said to him.

Among the dishes on the table, turkey competes particularly hard. When Austin cut off a piece and tried to get his share, only the chicken bones were left. I could only stretch my knife and fork to other dishes in embarrassment.

"It's really delicious." Gilbert, already familiar with human tastes, tore off a piece of turkey on the plate and commented while chewing.

"Yes. Dehreim is my hometown. Eating this on New Year's Day has a good meaning." Austinger said with a smile.

"Then why don't you have any? I'll give these to you." Gilbert handed the turkey on the plate to Austin's side.

"No, no, no." Austinger shook his head and said, "I eat it every year, and I've long been tired of it."

"It's a habit I have every year. It's not good to break it this year." Gilbert waved his hand and said, "In this case, you can just eat half of it for me."

Seeing Gilbert's persistence, Austin gave up the idea of ​​persuading him.

"Okay." Austinger agreed.

Then he took a spoon and moved half of the chicken on Gilbert's plate onto his own plate.

Gilbert nodded with satisfaction.

By the end of the banquet, the soldiers had gone completely crazy. They started playing with each other in the middle of the camp.

Clemont was so drunk that he collapsed on the chair and asked DeWitt: "Is it really okay to let them play like this?"

"It's okay." After three glasses of red wine, DeWitt's face also turned red. Said: "Everyone has been tired for a long day. After relaxing and playing, we will go and have a good rest."

"Haha." Clemont laughed out loud.

Then he said: "It's good to think like this."

"By the way, we should also call the elven soldiers over so that we can celebrate the New Year together." DeWitt suddenly realized.

"They are probably asleep now." Clemont closed his eyes in a daze. After running all day today, his body was really tired.

"Oh, that's a pity." DeWitt sighed.

As a result, after a while, Clemont's voice was still not heard.

"Hey, why are you asleep? Don't sleep here anymore, you'll catch a cold." DeWitt patted Clemont's face and called in a low voice.

However, the other party never made any move.

"Alas." DeWitt sighed. Resigned to his fate, he carried Clemont on his back. Walking towards the battalion commander who had the impression that Clemont lived there.

Austinge looked at the crazy scenes of soldiers around him and took Gilbert back to rest early.

Early the next morning, Austin figured out that he hadn't had much to drink the night before. He got up earlier than anyone else.

"It's such a mess." Austinge looked at the messy scene in the camp and couldn't help but be surprised.

Only the patrolling soldiers remained awake. After seeing Austinger appear, he greeted him: "Who is that, come and help."

"Okay, okay, okay!" Austinger hurriedly replied. He left his own towel on the waistband of his trousers, then walked over and tidied up with everyone else.

Seven or eight people packed up together until noon, and then the soldiers came out of the camp one after another.

The elven soldiers led by Abel had arrived at the gathering place early. When they saw only a few people including Austin, they asked in surprise: "Where are the people from Calradia?"

"There was a lot of noise last night, and some people are still sleeping." A soldier who was cleaning up replied.

"After a night of trouble? Where are DeWitt and the others?" Abel asked even more surprised.

"Captain and the others drank too much, and they probably haven't woken up yet." Austinger said hesitantly.

It seems that DeWitt and Clemont did not inform Abel and others in advance.

"Everyone had a New Year's dinner last night, and the captain asked us to relax and have fun. As a result, no one got up early today." A soldier explained.

After hearing this reason, Abel understood a little bit.

However, he immediately said: "Greeting your soldiers to prepare to assemble, we have to continue moving forward today."

"Yes!" Austinger replied.

"Your captain, I just need to wake them up." Abel continued to order.

"OK."

After Abel arranged everything, he walked towards the tent where DeWitt was. As a result, they were told that DeWitt did not return to the camp last night.

"You have to go find Clemont and ask." Abel thought to himself.
