Lord of the Oasis

"It's just that I want to ask how long it is until we send out the reconnaissance team?" the captain asked hesitantly.

"Now the whereabouts of all the dwarfs are unknown, and we need to find out the information as soon as possible. In only three days, you must set off to the Elf Kingdom and join their troops there. The seaport in the Elf Kingdom can go directly to the location of Cameron Volcano." Kant thought for a while and replied.

"Received." The captain responsible for training the soldiers agreed.

Then he said goodbye and left the Senate Hall. Looking in the direction of leaving: he should have gone to the military camp immediately.

Kant rubbed the corners of his eyes, called the guards on the side, and asked: "When will the group from the Elf Kingdom set off this afternoon?"

"Probably around the same time." The guard replied.

"When they are ready to set off, have the guards in the palace prepare: come with me to see them off." Kant ordered.

"Yes." The guard replied.

"Your Highness, it's almost lunch time now. The dishes in the kitchen are ready." An attendant bent down and walked into the palace to deliver a message.

"Well, let's put the lunch dishes in the side hall. After finishing the meal later, I still have some work to do." Kant nodded and replied.

"Take your orders." The attendant called up the team carrying the dishes, placed the dishes on the dining table in the side hall, and then bowed and left.

During the lunch break, the training captain who had been appointed by Kant came to the training ground in the military camp.

Bandak and others sat under the awning in the corner to rest. His approach was noticed from a long distance away.

Yadunis waved his hands to greet the training captain and asked him to gather under the arbor.

"Captain Aubrey, why did you come to the military camp?" Adonis asked.

"Well..." Aubrey picked up the herbal tea on the table, took a sip, and asked, "Have all the soldiers gone to take a lunch break? It seems that I didn't come at the right time."

"Yes, the training ended half an hour ago. The soldiers should have finished their lunch and returned to their dormitories to rest." Bandak said.

"Hey." Aubrey wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to Yadunis: "I came directly from the palace, and His Highness asked me to organize an investigation team within three days.

"

"Reconnaissance team? Aren't there specialized troops in the military camp? Why do they need to be reorganized?" Bandak, who was sitting aside, couldn't help but ask.

"The situation this time is a bit special. We are going to explore the caves around the volcano, and we need to cooperate with the front lines of the Elf Kingdom." Aubrey explained.

"Around the volcano? It would be more dangerous there than in the desert." Yadunis shook his head: "It is not easy to select the right team members."

"Captain Aubrey, you can only wait until the afternoon and come to the training ground to have a look." Bandak first nodded to what Yadunis said, and then explained to Aubrey.

"That's all we can do. I'm still waiting to go back to the corps. When the training ends in the afternoon, please help me organize it and don't disband too early. Then I'll come back and choose among the soldiers." Bree said with a sigh.

"Okay." Adonis nodded and said, "If you come here at sunset, you should be able to meet us."

"Thanks." Aubrey said, bowing her hands to the two of them.

"It's okay. Do you need information about soldiers in the army? We can use these as references and provide them to you." Bandak waved his hand and then suggested.

"No, most of the people with strong combat effectiveness have participated in the selection of the Guards. I know in my mind what level they are." Aubrey shook his head, and then asked: "But the selection still has to be done. Please stay with me, both of you, to avoid any extra oversights."

"Of course." Both Adonis and Bandak agreed to Aubrey's request.

After explaining the business, Aubrey explained that he had to go back quickly to arrange the guards, and said goodbye to Bandak and Adonis.

Even though it's autumn, the sun is still dazzling in the sky of the desert oasis.

When the hottest hour passed, the team from the Elf Kingdom was ready to set off outside the city gate.

At the same time, a group of people riding camels stepped out of the resting place.

The gate of the palace also opened from the inside to the outside. Kant rode his horse and led the team of guards to the side of the Elf Kingdom team.

"His Royal Highness the Elf King." Kant said hello to the Elf King while riding on horseback.

"Your Highness Kant, why are you here?" the Elf King asked slightly surprised.

"I can't keep you here to entertain you, but I still have to do it to see you off." Kant responded with a smile.

"I'm really sorry to trouble you." The Elf King nodded clearly and said apologetically.

"As the party being interviewed, this is a matter of course." Kant shook his head.

The two of them walked at the front of the team and walked slowly towards the city gate.

"His Royal Highness the Elf King, I have arranged for the following people to start organizing the mission to find traces of the dwarf people with you. I hope you will not be distracted by this. In three days, the organized team will set off from Dehreim ." Kant interjected in the chat.

"The Calradian Empire is indeed very capable of action. Of course, the personnel sent by the Elf Kingdom will be responsible to the end. Complete cooperation with the soldiers of Calradia." The Elf King responded.

"I hope this operation will allow us to find any traces or evidence left by the enemy." Kant said.

"The last exploration distance only reached the vicinity of the cave. This time with sufficient preparation, there will definitely be new discoveries." The Elf King said.

At present, there is still too little information in front of the two countries about the disappearance of the dwarf country.

Therefore, after Kant negotiated with the Elf King, they decided to send a second exploration team composed of soldiers from both countries.

When we reached the city gate, it was already time to say goodbye.

"It's up to me to visit the Elf Kingdom in the future. His Highness the Elf King's body cannot withstand the torment of this desert journey." Kant got off the horse and saw off the Elf Kingdom. He glanced at the scenery in the desert and said to the Elf King.

"Indeed, walking in this desert for ten days and a half is too difficult for my body." The Elf King also squinted his eyes and glanced at the desert in the distance: "Maybe I will visit Kant next time Yours, lord, is my descendant."

"Haha, when the time comes, a simple visit will not suffice. You will have to stay in Dehreim for a few days before you can be considered a true visitor." Kant also responded with a smile.

"Indeed." The Elf King smiled and nodded.

After saying their final farewells, the troops from the Elf Kingdom left the city gate and headed west.
