Lord of the Oasis

Chapter 737. Unconscious care

After hearing Austin's words, the expression on DeWitt's face became awkward.

"I'll take care of it," Austinger added hastily.

"Your mission is to protect the safety of yourself and your comrades. How can you have the time to take care of a foreigner?" Clemont stood aside and said seriously.

"I..." Austin was speechless for a moment, unable to think of what he should say.

"Didn't you say you didn't want to go back? Why did you change your mind now?" Abel took a step forward and asked Gilbert.

"...Actually, I have always wanted to go back." Gilbert was silent for a while and continued: "I want to get what I deserve."

Upon hearing this, Abel and Clemont looked at each other and nodded secretly.

DeWitt focused his gaze on Gilbert and said with deep meaning: "If you want to use us to return to the territory of the goblins, you must be mentally prepared to make sacrifices."

"I know," Gilbert nodded while looking at the ground, "I will tell you all the news I know."

"Including news about the goblin clan?" Clemont confirmed.

"...Yeah." After a while, Gilbert nodded.

"Then, Austin, you will take care of Gilbert from now on." DeWitt promised Gilbert: "Don't worry, we will not force you to tell us any unnecessary information."

"Great!" cried Austinger. He happily put his hand on Gilbert's shoulder.

"Austenger, take Gilbert to the logistics department to get a pair of smaller shoes. Hurry up and don't delay the march," Clemont explained.

"Yes!" Austinger replied, leaning over Gilbert's shoulders and leading him out.

"I didn't expect that Captain DeWitt would really agree! I didn't even have time to say anything." Austinger said with high spirits. When he turned around and found that Gilbert kept his head down and remained silent, he immediately expressed concern. : "What's wrong with you? Are you okay?"

"Nothing." Gilbert stood up and shook his head.

"Captains DeWitt are very considerate people. To be honest, they are kind. They will not have the heart to do anything to hurt you." Austinger comforted: "I am also very happy to be able to go with you next. happy."

Gilbert looked up and saw the dazzling smile on Austin's face, and he also curled his lips: "Yeah."

"Everyone gather!" Abel stood outside the gate of the dismantled camp and shouted in a loud voice.

The scouting army, including Gilbert's, quickly lined up in front of him.

"Today we have to strive to get out of this flat ground, and no one can relax." Abel said.

"Yes!" the soldiers responded.

The group of people officially set off. When Abel led the group, most of them were at the front, looking at the map to find the route. He didn't care much about the soldiers behind him or how disciplined they were during their march. Indeed, the elven soldiers were still walking quietly in this situation and did not talk to each other. This may be the innate lazy character.

Calradian soldiers, on the other hand, are not so well-behaved and will talk a lot when they are in a good mood. At this time, Austinger brought fresh guys into the army, and many Calradian soldiers couldn't help but gathered around him curiously.

"Is this the guy you squashed that day?" a soldier said.

"Captain DeWitt and others said that this little guy is a goblin." Another soldier added.

The topic of Gilbert became popular among the soldiers.

"How did you think of bringing it?" one of Austin's teammates asked.

"Isn't his home near our destination?" Austinger replied casually: "If this little guy stays in the wilderness for a few more days, he probably won't survive. What's wrong with us taking him home on the way?"

"So that's it." Austin's teammates nodded, and then showed a friendly smile to Gilbert.

In fact, Austin didn't know why he had to bring this little guy with him.

I just thought about it in my mind for a long time before making up this reason.

Thinking like this, his eyes naturally moved to Gilbert.

Even though the people around him were noisy, this little guy still looked indifferent and had nothing to do with him.

But as the journey lengthened, the lip line became tighter.

"Tired?" Austinger leaned over and asked.

"Yeah." Gilbert squeezed out such a syllable from his throat.

Austinger put his hand on Gilbert's arm and suggested, "I'll carry you."

Gilbert didn't try to be brave anymore, and then the strength of Austin's arm climbed onto his back and he sat down safely.

Austinger raised his head and glanced at the sky, thinking in his heart: After all, he is a thin child. He must be really tired after walking all morning.

Gilbert got some space to rest and fell asleep unconsciously on Austin's back.

"Looking from the back, you two look like a father and son." A passing soldier commented to Austinger.

"Don't talk nonsense." Austinger glared at the other party: "Have you ever seen such a young person holding such a big son?"

"Hehe." The soldier smiled and said nothing more.

As Austin raised his feet and moved forward, he thought silently in his heart: He must find a beautiful wife and give birth to a lovely child in the future. Let others be envious.

"Rest for fifteen minutes." Abel ordered.

The soldiers found a piece of grass and lay down casually.

Austinger was worried that his movements would wake up Gilbert on his back, so he stood near the lying soldiers and chatted with them.

DeWitt came over and said, "Why do you take care of him so much?"

"Hey," Austinger sighed and said, "I don't know either. I just think he is like an unruly, willful child with neither family nor companions around him. It's really hard."

"In this case, you shouldn't take care of him in such detail." DeWitt shook his head and said: "To fall from complete pain to complete doting will make people even more unable to withstand the blows of wind and rain."

"Is that so?" Austinger looked back at Gilbert, who was sleeping on his shoulder, and said softly: "Captain DeWitt, you are really amazing. I suddenly discovered: It turns out that I just gave him a different extreme environment."

"Nothing." DeWitt continued: "If you choose to be a kind person, it proves that the person who makes the choice is very smart. It's just that the world is so big, and the meaning of kindness is different in different places."

DeWitt also just hoped that Austinger would not put too much emotion into this time with Gilbert.
