Lord of the Oasis

Late that night, all the soldiers were woken up and ordered to gather in the open space in front of the military camp.

The light and shadow of the open flame jumped on everyone's face, and everyone felt that the situation was not good from the expression of the guard captain.

When the whole place was enveloped in low pressure.

Kant belatedly walked out of the camp, walked to the captain of the guard with a tense expression and said a few words.

After saying that, he left everyone behind and walked back to the camp.

The captain of the guard stood upright after listening to Kant's instructions with a solemn expression and watched him leave.

After Kant lifted the tent curtain and walked in.

The captain of the guard turned around and looked at each soldier's face.

"Who among you entered Clyde's tent and then escaped?" the guard captain gritted his teeth.

In his eyes: there was resentment, distress, and annoyance at being challenged by his subordinates against his authority.

The medical soldier who was responsible for patrolling at night came to him in a panic and told him that he found someone sneaking into the camp of the infected soldiers.

His heart almost jumped out of his chest.

He simply couldn't imagine if the virus spread and infected more soldiers. How should I apologize to Kant?

When the captain of the guard saw that no soldier in the audience made a sound, he made a move with his right hand.

He took a lunch box filled with food from a medical soldier and held it up in front of everyone. He continued: "The medical soldier on patrol today saw soldiers in uniform leaving Clyde's tent in a hurry, and found this lunch box distributed by the army on the desk in the tent. Who violated the regulations? Ban, please stand up for me. Don’t force me to search them one by one.”

The soldiers of the guard listened to what the captain said, whispered to each other, and looked around from time to time. Wondering who would do such a thing.

After a while, a soldier standing at the back of the queue walked out of the queue step by step and stood in front of the captain of the guard.

The medical soldier standing next to the captain of the guard saw the soldier's face clearly and couldn't help frowning: this soldier was the soldier who had been following them and causing trouble this afternoon.

"Bart.

"The captain of the guard noticed the soldiers standing out of the queue and called his name.

"It's me." Bart raised his hand tremblingly.

"How dare you disobey the captain's order." The captain of the guard sternly reprimanded.

"I'm just afraid that no one will take care of him. A few days ago, there were obviously many medical soldiers helping in Clyde's camp. But as of yesterday, no one went there anymore. Even today, the medical team members Come and take away all Clyde's things and burn them all." Bart knelt down and cried: "I'm worried that one day when Clyde dies, his body will be burned without warning like this. Then he too Such a tragic death.”

The captain of the guard felt a little moved in his heart, but he still said seriously: "Then you can't ignore the order and rush into Clyde's camp. You know, if you are infected with the plague, you will indirectly bring it to other people." In terms of human beings, how much damage will it cause? The whole of Dehreem may suffer from this."

"I'm sorry, I was wrong." Bart buried his head in his knees and sobbed: "I just wanted to give him one last meal. I didn't expect that things would be so...serious..."

"In any case, what you have done is irreversible." The captain of the guard sighed in a low voice: "You must now accept the same isolation inspection as Clyde. And since you have violated the discipline of the army, even if Even if he is not infected with the virus, he cannot continue to serve as a soldier."

This is what Kant told him before. Strict measures must be taken against soldiers who violate military regulations.

After hearing the punishment given to him, Bart knelt down and cried loudly.

Finally, he was picked up by soldiers from the medical team and taken away.

The other soldiers were still standing there, silently and without making any sound.

They already understood the whole thing and the fact that some of the soldiers were infected with the plague.

The captain of the guard glanced at everyone and said: "I didn't tell you before because I was worried that it would cause unnecessary panic. But in this situation: you should also understand what happened. We will go all out tomorrow and try our best. Try to get back to Dehreim as soon as possible. When you return to the main city, a trustworthy doctor will come to check you, so you don’t have to worry too much, got it?"

"Understood!" the soldiers replied in unison.

"Go back and rest, we have to get up early tomorrow. Dismissed!!"

On the second day, Kant and his party moved forward with all their strength in the desert.

The mood of the soldiers was much lower than before. Everyone was focused on staring at the loess road under their feet and no longer chatted with each other.

It was not until dark that the soldiers at the forefront finally burst into cheers after seeing the main city gate of Dehrim: "We are here!!"

Kant also looked up. After seeing the logo of Dehreem, the fatigue shown in the corners of his eyes also disappeared.

After noticing the traces of Kant and his party, the soldiers on the city wall immediately opened the city gate for passage.

Kant and the others returned to Dehreim one day earlier than expected, so there was no welcoming team behind the city gate.

The group of people rushed towards the location of the military camp.

Kant also underwent a physical examination along with the accompanying soldiers.

While waiting for the results, he asked the medical captain on the side: "Where are the infected soldiers now?"

"When we went to check this morning, the soldier had no vital signs." the medical captain replied.

After Kant heard this, he was silent for a while. Then he asked: "Where are his ashes? Have you brought them back?"

"Well, we have handed the urn into the hands of the guard captain." said the medical captain.

"I hope the compensation brought by the court can make up for the heartbreak of the soldiers' families." Kant said with emotion.

After the test results showed that Kant himself was not infected with the virus, Kant boarded the carriage and set off back to the palace.

Before leaving, Kant also told the medical captain that he would give him a statistical report on the inspection results.

If any unexpected changes occur, they need to be reported promptly.

Arriving at the palace, Kant finally felt relieved.

Returning to Dehreim means that there are more trusted military officers and civil servants around who can discuss with them and help make decisions.

It is still too much to try to correct all kinds of sudden changes by one person.

Kant thought silently in his heart: I hope that the troubles in recent days are just an episode and can be calmed down after the imposition of rectification.
