Lord of the Oasis

Chapter 716. Sudden Interlude

"That's true." Clemont glanced at the sky that was quickly darkening and agreed.

The expressions of the three people became a little complicated.

"Otherwise, let me take someone to go there and have a look." After a moment of silence, Abel suggested.

"Yeah." DeWitt nodded and agreed.

After making such a decision, Abel asked a few people to follow him and set off to where the creek was.

DeWitt and Clement stayed in the military camp waiting for the news they brought back.

Half an hour later, Abel and his party returned to the military camp.

"How's it going?" Clemont quickly stepped forward and asked.

"We carefully looked at the movements around the creek, except for the footprints that DeWitt led people to step on just now. We didn't find anyone coming." Abelhui reported.

"That's it." After hearing these words, DeWitt's originally worried heart temporarily calmed down.

"In that case, let's stay here for one night. Let's leave early tomorrow." Clemont thought for a while, looked at DeWitt and Abel, and suggested.

DeWitt and Abel nodded in approval.

"It's just that we still need to strengthen our defense tonight." DeWitt ordered.

When Abel led people to investigate, the camping tent had already been set up.

But today, DeWitt ordered the soldiers: No cooking for dinner.

So when it was time for dinner, everyone sat around in the open space of the camp and ate dry food.

"Oh, I miss the dinner in the military camp restaurant so much." Austinger took a bite of the wheat flour pancake and sighed sadly.

"Me too," one of the soldiers echoed.

Everyone talked about the food in the military camp restaurant, and when they talked about their favorite dishes, they couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

DeWitt, who was sitting far away from the pile of soldiers, said funnyly: "Everyone is still chatting enthusiastically."

"Well, our soldiers have learned to find comfort in memories." Abel continued.

"There will still be a long time to come. I hope they are mentally prepared." Clement responded.

The climate in the plains is relatively cool in autumn.

But this was only for those who were in good health. After dinner, DeWitt was driven back to his tent by Clemont and others to rest.

"The weather is getting colder and colder now." After Clemont and Abel sent DeWitt back to the camp, they went for a walk outside the camp to eat. A gust of mountain wind shook the grass. Clemont also felt a chill aroused in him and turned to Abel.

"It's already November now. The sky is getting darker and darker faster." Abel nodded, glanced at the sky, and said.

"It's November. I haven't counted the date much since I boarded the ship." Clement said with emotion: "I didn't expect that it's almost the end of the year."

"It seems that we will spend the New Year on this island this year." Clement said.

"I have brought enough winter cotton clothes." Clemont said with a smile and walked towards the entrance of the military camp: "We should go back."

"Well, but as for elves, they still don't have a clear feeling about the temperature." Abel said, following Clemont's footsteps.

"Huh? I'm so envious." Clemont said slightly surprised: "What about the fire elves? Don't they feel different from usual in winter?"

"I don't know much about this. But I feel like I'm not very sensitive to temperature and the like." Abel thought about it for a while, shook his head and said.

"I have never asked General Abel what type of elf mage you are?" Clemont thought of something and asked: "I didn't hear you say that after the previous battle against the black elf."

"Actually, my spells are not very powerful. There are many more elf soldiers in our team who are better than me. I was just chosen as the captain because I focus more on physical fitness.

"Abel said embarrassedly: "If you want to say which system my spells belong to, it should be considered the water system. "

"A water mage? It's really amazing that you can also practice physical fitness at the same time." Clemont admired him.

The first time he met Abel, it could be regarded as subverting Clemont's impression of elves.

Due to their talents and other reasons, the image of the elves to other races is probably that of a group of refined and lazy mages.

And a rugged general like Abel was also a member of the elves, which really broke the prejudice.

The two continued to chat while walking back to the military camp.

When they reached the entrance of the military camp, Clemont and the two saw DeWitt walking out of the military camp in a panic and met them head-on.

"What's the matter, Captain DeWitt?" Abel asked urgently.

"Two soldiers fainted." DeWitt replied. His coat was full of wrinkles. It seemed that he had just received news from the soldiers and ran out without paying attention to his clothes.

"Where?" Clemont asked nervously after hearing this.

"By that creek, I heard that a group of them went there to drink fresh water, and found that the water in that creek was poisonous." A soldier stepped forward and reported carefully.

"What?!" Clemont and Abel were surprised.

"Has the person been carried back?" Abel asked the soldier who rushed back to report the news.

"It should be on the way back." DeWitt strode towards the direction of the creek.

"Let's go take a look. DeWitt, you're wearing so little, so don't go so far." After taking a look at DeWitt's thin autumn clothes, Clemont suggested.

"It's okay, my body is not that fragile yet."

Just when the two were arguing, they stood at the door of the military camp and looked: two fainted soldiers were slowly walking towards the military camp with the support of four soldiers.

"They're back!" the soldier exclaimed.

DeWitt and the other three people also noticed the movement and quickly walked towards the group of soldiers returning to the camp.

"Captain DeWitt, Captain Clemont, Captain Abel. I'm sorry, I'm sorry." One of the Hunchback Soldiers had obviously just cried, and he knelt on the ground with red eyes and apologized.

"Wait, don't panic yet." DeWitt commanded: "Call the medical team over quickly!"

Abel stepped forward and placed the palms of his hands near the hearts of the two fainted soldiers, and a spiritual power penetrated from the palms of his hands.

Immediately afterwards, Abel's face darkened, he stood up and said to DeWitt: "No need. They have no signs of life."

"Ah..." DeWitt opened his mouth and couldn't say anything, and tears fell directly from his eyes.

Judging from Abel's expression, what he said was indeed true.
