Lord of the Oasis

"You are all crowded here, and I can't make dinner for you right away." The soldier in the kitchen said distressedly.

"Well...we just came to see if we could help." A soldier in the crowd explained sheepishly.

"Then help me taste this fruit to see if it's poisonous." The kitchen soldier said as he picked up a fruit from the chopping board.

The soldiers behind him all took a step back.

"Help me keep this fire under control." The kitchen soldier shook his head helplessly, picked up the fruit, went to Captain Abel, and asked, "Captain Abel, is there nothing wrong with this fruit?"

Abel looked back at him, nodded and said, "Yes, we have tried it. But we still need to peel off the peel and core."

"Okay. Thank you." The kitchen soldier felt relieved.

With everyone's expectation, homemade fruit porridge is finally released. Everyone picked up their lunch boxes and lined up at the porridge place.

The soldiers in the kitchen who finished dinner first gave each soldier a bowl of porridge and then handed them a piece of wheat flour cake.

The air after the rain is so fresh that it penetrates the heart and lungs. The soldiers all chose to gather together in the open space of the camp to have dinner and chat.

"Sure enough, the happiest moment of the day is now." Austinger said with a smile after taking a sip of hot porridge.

"Dinner these past few days has been porridge. I thought it would be hard to get used to it, but I got used to it without realizing it." A soldier said while dipping wheat flour pancakes in porridge.

"I feel it too, and even when I usually march in the mountains, I feel less tired." Another soldier said.

"Really?" Austinger said in surprise: "I also want to adapt to the rhythm of marching as soon as possible."

"How did you do that?" a soldier asked the soldier just now.

"I don't know very well. Anyway, I don't think about anything when I'm marching. I just stare at General Abel's back and follow him, so I won't feel tired easily." The soldier who was questioned replied.

"General Abel is really powerful. Not only is he so strong, but he can also make people follow him with confidence." The soldier who asked the question sighed.

"When General Abel used that spell today, I was completely stunned." One soldier exclaimed.

Abel's spells really impressed everyone.

"Me too, the world of magic is so wonderful. Let me be reincarnated as a mage in my next life." A soldier prayed.

"Even if you were reincarnated as a mage, you wouldn't become as strong as General Abel." Austinger couldn't help but complain.

The dinner ended noisily with everyone's fun.

The tent was set up on the soaked rain ground, and there was always a humid temperature inside.

So that night, the lighting provided by logistics in each tent was replaced by candles from kerosene lamps.

"Can candles remove moisture? How do you know?" DeWitt asked the soldier who brought the candle.

"My own family used to sell rice, and candles were usually lit in the rice warehouse. I also learned this trick from my father," the soldier replied.

"It came in handy." DeWitt nodded in praise.

"However, the smell of burning candles may not be very pleasant. Captain DeWitt, please remember to keep the camp ventilated." The soldier warned before leaving.

"Yeah, I understand." DeWitt nodded.

Nothing happened all night, and the next morning, the soldiers got up early as usual.

Juice made from the fruit obtained last night was served on the breakfast table.

Devitt looked at the green juice in the cup and said with a smile: "The soldiers in the kitchen are working really hard. Looking at this, I thought we were in the canteen of the military camp in Dehreem."

After taking a sip of the sweet and sour juice, the soldiers became energetic.

However, each person can only take one cup, and if you drink it all, it will be gone.

"If this continues, if you are attacked on the road: you must protect the soldiers who are doing this." Clemont also joked.

After having a carefully prepared breakfast, the soldiers of the reconnaissance team started a new day's journey full of energy.

"We have to get out of the valley today." Deville said as he walked quickly.

"It should be possible." After making a mark on the map, Abel estimated: "After crossing the grassland in front, you can walk out of the border of this valley."

"The soldiers are in pretty good condition now," DeWitt said, looking back at the soldiers behind him.

"The mountains that need to be climbed next will not be as easy as before." Abel looked at the map and said: "And it is not easy to find a resting place in the forest."

"Now let's take it one step at a time," DeWitt said.

Just as the scouts were moving forward smoothly, the letter sent to Dehreem from the island station was delivered to Kant.

"The situation at the island site seems a bit tense." Kant looked at the content written in the letter and muttered silently: "I don't know what kind of actions the Elf Congress will take."

In the letter, Raphael described the situation of DeWitt and others starting from the top of the mountain, as well as the predicament that the site elf soldiers and others were in.

Bandak happened to walk into the temple at this time.

Kant said to Bandak: "The station garrison sent by the elves seems to have been squeezed by the local forces."

"How could it be possible? Someone would dare to openly offend the elves like this." Bandak read the entire letter, feeling slightly surprised.

"The situation on the island is different from that on the ordinary mainland. The people living on the island are originally a group of vicious vagrants who even exclude their own race." Kant explained.

"Look at what the letter says: These elven soldiers are hiding in the mountains, and there is always a risk of being discovered. What can we do?" Bandak worried.

"The idea of ​​the elf soldiers at the site seems to be to wait for the reconnaissance team to complete their mission and then take a boat back to the elf country with them." Kant stated.

"That will have to wait until the beginning of next year. Can they hide for that long?" Bandak asked.

"Let's see what the Elf Kingdom is planning to do. If they plan to send troops, we have to take action as well." Kant said calmly.

"Yeah." Bandak nodded.

"What's the matter today?" Kant raised his head and asked.

"This month's summary report of the military camp." Bandak bowed forward and handed the text in his hand to the desk: "In addition, Derrick and the others left for Durandal today. I couldn't say goodbye to you, so I will report to Your Highness on his behalf."

"Is the vacation over so soon?" Kant asked, turning his head.

"It's said that Durandal's canal project is about to begin." Bandak replied. "so..."
