Lord of the Oasis

"Since they are forcing us to die, we cannot admit defeat." DeWitt stood up and said: "Everyone quickly returned to their cabins, took the medicine kit, food and matches, and gathered on the deck."

Judging from the current situation, the stern part of the ship should be the first to sink into the sea. Staying focused on the deck will help delay the fall.

After receiving the order, the soldiers dispersed in a hurry. Walk back to your cabin to clean your luggage.

Clement asked DeWitt to stay on the deck to organize the team, while he was responsible for packing their luggage. Their cabins were further away from the captain's cabin than where ordinary soldiers lived, almost closer to the stern of the ship.

Clemont struggled to maintain his balance on the sloping floor and walked as fast as he could. However, the support of the hull was on the verge of collapse. Before Clement could reach the room, the floor of the corridor collapsed, and a wave of waves swept Clermont away.

"Captain Clemont!" A Calradian soldier wanted to reach out and grab him, but he only touched the hem of Clemont's clothes.

The black sea surface was magnificent, and the waves roared miserably. After Clermont fell into the sea, no one saw him again.

A soldier walked up to DeWitt with heavy steps and told him the sad news.

DeWitt's hands clenched into fists. Roaring sadly at the sky outside the deck:

"Raphael!!"

And Abel, who was hated by DeWitt, was currently riding a lifeboat and rowing to the shore.

An elf soldier on the bow of the ship was always observing the fire on the steamer with a telescope. And reported to Raphael on the side: "Boss, the second stage of blasting can be carried out."

Raphael took the telescope and looked into the distance. He waved his hands and said, "Forget it."

The elf soldier asked doubtfully: "This mission, the 'king' said that failure is not allowed. If they succeed in escaping..."

"Who are you calling 'the king'? Someone threw a bone to you?" Raphael's eyes widened and he said sternly: "It's freezing cold, where can they go? Who dares to detonate the remaining remains? bomb, I’ll throw you off the boat first.”

"Yes." The elf soldiers looked at each other and nodded.

"Drive the boat faster for me," Raphael commanded.

In the early morning of the next day, Raphael and his party hurriedly hurried and finally docked at the harbor of the Elf Kingdom.

Everyone who stepped off the boat looked a little embarrassed, which shocked the elven citizens.

The soldiers who were maintaining order on the ship at the seaside rushed to the scene and carried the weak elf soldiers on their backs. Rush to the road outside the harbor.

"Hurry up and call the carriage! They are all soldiers who were sent to the island to perform tasks a few months ago!" A soldier captain ordered: "Take them back to the military camp first. Someone, hurry to the palace and report the news to His Majesty. "

"Yes!" A soldier walked out of the crowd and said.

After receiving the news, His Highness the Elf King immediately rushed to the military camp in a carriage. Met Raphael lying on the hospital bed.

"How are they? How are their health?" The Elf King walked into the medical area and nervously asked the nurse taking care of the soldiers.

"Yes. It's just symptoms of dehydration." The nurse reported: "Recovery treatment has been carried out."

The Elf King breathed a sigh of relief and sat down in front of Raphael's hospital bed.

"How could you do this?" The Elf King frowned and asked, "By the way, where are the soldiers of Calradia?"

"The ship ran aground. The crew and driver were all new, and they took a new route." Raphael explained, his voice still very weak: "The cabins of the Elf soldiers and Calradian soldiers are separate. We were too busy taking care of ourselves at the time, but we didn’t expect that... not a single soldier from Calradia would be left behind.”

"The ship sank?" The Elf King's eyes were full of disbelief, and his voice was trembling.

"Yes." Raphael lowered his eyes and said, "We have left enough lifeboats for Calradian soldiers.

But I didn't see them board the ship..."

"This..." The Elf King choked and said, "How can I explain this to Lord Kant? Originally, they didn't need to get involved."

The Elf King's words reminded Raphael: the letter Devitt sent to Calradia was damaged in his own hands, and he had to send the forged letter to Deherim as soon as possible. The secondary goal of this mission is to prevent the Elf Kingdom and the Human Race from continuing to participate in the struggle between the forces on the island after this operation.

"You guys should rest first. If you have any questions, let's wait until you recover." The Elf King asked: "You have worked hard on this operation. Although the losses were heavy..."

Raphael glanced at the Elf King and said nothing. After the Elf King walked out of the camp, he lay on his bed and closed his eyes to rest.

News of the mass deaths of Calradian soldiers spread to Calradia.

Kant ordered: The whole country should observe mourning. On this day, there would be no happy events in the main city of Dehrim.

After receiving the news at his residence, Bandak stayed up all night and walked into the Senate Hall with a haggard look on his face.

Kant's face didn't look very good either.

"The letter written by DeWitt himself has arrived." Kant said to Bandak.

"What's written on the letter?" Bandak coughed twice and asked.

"It reported some of the situations they encountered on the island." Kant sighed and said, "It was probably sent before setting off from the island."

"Your Majesty, please forgive me." Bandak knelt down and saluted.

"I want to go to the Elf Country to meet the Elf soldiers who escaped from the shipwreck." Kant said.

"Now is the beginning of the new year. There are many matters in the court waiting for your Majesty to make decisions." Bandak thought for a while and responded: "Why don't you let the ministers in the court make this trip for you?"

"No, I have to make this trip. Otherwise, I really can't feel at ease." The tragic scene of the soldiers swaying in the wind and rain appeared in Kant's mind. He couldn't help but his eyes turned red.

Bandak looked at Kant like this and took a deep breath. Said: "Then let me accompany you, Your Majesty."

Kant waved his hand and said, "You can't leave the military camp."

"Why not?" Bandak asked.

Kant raised his head, met his gaze, and said, "Okay then. We will set off the day after tomorrow. Before that, you must remember to leave the military affairs in your hands to others to take care of you."

"Yes!" Bandak nodded.

Kant has been involved in government affairs recently, and Bandak did not talk to him about the details of going to the Elf Kingdom. After receiving the permission, he bowed and left.

The day after tomorrow will be the first time Dehreim opens the city gate after the New Year.
