Lord of the Oasis

The city gate seemed to be frozen by ice and snow. The soldiers guarding the city walked down the tower, worked together to lift the wooden stakes and knocked open the city gate.

Because the mourning period has just ended, the band that used to play music to send the soldiers out of the city has been withdrawn.

There was no announcement for the people to leave the city this time, so only a few pedestrians walking on the street noticed Kant and his party, who were dressed in black.

"According to the letter from the Elf Kingdom, the steamboat ran aground and all the soldiers were swept into the wave." Kant rode on his horse and said slowly: "Not even a relic was left."

"Cumberland has sent a lifeboat to the site of the sunken ship for salvage." Bandak Report reported.

"With this weather, the people who were in distress probably wouldn't be able to stay at sea all night." Kant looked at the sky and said, "If there are any relics found, I hope they can send them back to Dehreim as soon as possible. It's really hard on the families of those soldiers." "

"When we arrive in the Elf Country, we should be able to receive news from Cumberland." Bandak comforted.

Before Kant set off, he wrote a letter to the king of the Elf Kingdom. The letter stated that he would bring people to the Elf Kingdom in a week. So when Kant and his party were halfway through their journey, the Elf Kingdom had already begun to prepare for the visit of the Calradian Empire.

"Your Highness, His Highness Kant and the others are expected to arrive in our capital tomorrow evening." An elf minister reported to the Elf King.

"Yes." The Elf King simply responded without saying anything.

"When the time comes..." The Elf Minister observed the Elf King's face and said hesitantly.

"I will greet him personally." The Elf King interrupted him and said, "This action has caused heavy losses to the Calradia Empire. No matter what, I have to apologize to Lord Kant in person as soon as possible."

"This mission has many unpredictable aspects. Your Majesty must not blame yourself too much." The elf minister bowed and replied.

"Don't make arrangements for an honor guard or anything like that. Just send a few soldiers to accompany me when the time comes." The Elf King instructed.

"Yes." After the welcome ceremony was sorted out, the minister resigned.

News of Kant's visit spread from the palace to the military camp.

The elf soldiers staying in the same ward started talking about it.

After Raphael learned the news from everyone, he wondered: "I didn't expect His Highness from Calradia to come in person. What are they doing here?"

"I heard that the citizens of the Calradia Empire have been paying tribute to the soldiers who lost their lives in the past few days." An elf soldier said.

"More than twenty people died." Another elf soldier curled his lips and said, "Could Calradia deliberately make such a big noise to embarrass our Highness?"

"No way..." An elf soldier shook his head and said.

"Why don't we go to the city gate tomorrow too?" an elf soldier suggested.

"Yes." Raphael nodded in agreement with the suggestion and said, "Since everyone has recovered well, then follow me to the city gate tomorrow to see what this lord of Calradia means."

The timeline goes back two days. Kant and his party stayed in Durandal.

Only then did Durandal receive the news that the entire reconnaissance team had been wiped out.

Derrick's emotions were sunk by the sudden news, and he locked himself in the military camp, unable to leave the house.

Bandak was worried and was about to come to the door, but was stopped by Kant.

"I guess no one among us will feel more sad about Clemont's death than Derrick." Kant said to Bandak: "Although Derrick's consciousness is more sensitive than yours, it is not so easy to be defeated. .Don’t underestimate this man’s resilience. Leave him alone.”

"Yes..." Bandak could only agree.

Just wait until the next morning when the group sets off again. Bandak still didn't see Derrick in the farewell team.

Three days later, Kant stood on horseback at the gate of the main city of the Elf Kingdom. The city gates have long been open to them.

The Elf King is simply dressed;

He walked to the city gate to greet everyone.

"His Royal Highness the Elf King, long time no see." Kant jumped off his horse and bowed to greet the Elf King.

Although they are both the monarchs of the country, Kant always treats the Elf King as an elder and salutes him every time he meets him.

But today, the Elf King could no longer accept this respect with his heart.

The Elf King quickly supported Kant's bent body and said, "Long time no see. Your Highness Kant."

"Many unexpected things have happened recently. Let's wait until we get to the palace to discuss them in detail." Kant said with a smile on his face.

When he came to visit the Elf Kingdom in person, he naturally had to bring the demeanor of the head of a country and the etiquette of diplomatic meetings.

"The elves are sorry for Calradia for this accident. I would like to apologize to His Highness Kant first." The Elf King bowed to Kant and said: "The banquet in the palace has been prepared. Please get on the carriage and go with me." go."

Kant shook his head and said: "His Royal Highness the Elf Kingdom does not need to apologize to me for this matter. Navigation itself has hidden risks. Let's get in the carriage quickly."

The Elf King pursed his lips tightly and was silent for a while. He stretched out his hand and said to Kant: "Please!"

Watching the carriage of the palace go further and further, a group of elven soldiers climbing on top of the city wall came out from behind the stone pier.

"This Calradian group seems quite gentle." A soldier commented.

"It seems that they want to come to verify the details of the martyrdom of DeWitt and his group." Another soldier said.

"Why are you still standing here?" Raphael ordered: "The biggest target of Calradia's visit this time is us. Go back to the hospital room and lie down!"

A group of people heard Raphael's order and immediately set off for the military camp.

Kant was sitting in the same carriage as the Elf King, and he was currently asking the Elf King for news about the people who had been rescued.

"I heard that the soldiers rowed ashore by themselves." Kant started the conversation first.

"Yes, they were discovered by patrolling soldiers. Their bodies were already showing symptoms of dehydration at that time." The Elf King responded in detail: "I heard that they had been wandering at sea for a whole day and night."

"I see, so have these soldiers recovered?" Kant continued to ask.

"Well, they have probably recovered. But they are still recuperating, and they have not yet been put into military training." The Elf King replied.

"The Elf soldiers are really lucky to be able to successfully escape from the shipwreck. This is probably the only thing that makes people happy recently." Kant said.

"At that time, the elf soldiers were also awakened from their sleep. They just hurriedly escaped from the cabin." The elf king said: "I just went to wake up the Calradian soldiers. But I couldn't help."
