Lord of the Oasis

"He is indeed very concerned about Durandal's affairs." Kant said: "It's just that he doesn't look like a great commander."

When Bandak heard Kant's comment, his whole body suddenly tensed up. Nervously, he explained: "Derrick's character is that he will take full responsibility for the tasks assigned to him. That's good, right?"

Kant asked with a smile: "This time he came back from Durandal on vacation. Have you two had a private chat? How is he getting along with Adonis?"

"We have talked." Bandak nodded and replied: "I haven't heard him mention Yadunis very much. He just said that the work at Durandal is going pretty smoothly."

During the few days when Durandal came back from vacation, Bandakte took two days off and went with him to visit Dehrim, eating and chatting in the tavern.

"You guessed it. Derrick is relatively reticent in front of others," Kant said.

"Well, that's not really true. He's just the more easy-going kind." Bandak thought for a moment and said hesitantly.

He tried his best to preserve Derrick's image in Kant's mind.

"Among the scouts sent to the island this time, the soldiers responsible for helping DeWitt manage the soldiers were Derrick's old troops. I heard that when their group passed by Durandal, Derrick had a lot of chats with them. ." Kant said.

"K...K...Ray...Mont? I can remember his name. He and Derrick have a really good relationship." Bandak replied: "This man has a similar temperament to Derrick. It's just that he is younger. When he stayed in the military camp, he often accepted care from others and seemed more childish. I don't know how he will be trained during this trip. "

"Derrick and you both have a pretty good opinion of him," Kant nodded and said, "When the scout army comes back, let me see what this soldier is like."

Bandak sensed a bad atmosphere and hesitantly said: "His Royal Highness Kant, do you want to..."

"If there are really good talents who have been left behind in the army, they should be promoted and given confidence." Kant said his plan.

Bandak's eyes widened, he hurriedly excused himself and retreated from the hall.

Kant looked at his leaving back and sighed: He admitted that Derrick was indeed a smart man, and he always maintained a harmonious relationship with the people around him, and he would get satisfactory feedback from anything given to him, but one day this would not be the case. Your lukewarm attitude has become a threshold in front of you, and you have to find a way to break it.

Derrick is a person who can achieve great results even if he works alone, and what Kant is currently concerned about is: whether Derrick can break through the thick wall in his heart and lead everyone forward from a leader's position. If not, it also proves that he is not suitable for where he is now. Kant should remove Derrick in time and replace him with other new characters.

And Bandak is what Kant believes is the button that can turn Derrick's life around.

After Bandak returned to the military camp, he immediately wrote a letter and sent it to Durandal with everything he heard today and his inner opinions.

"We must not let Lord Kant replace Derrick." Bandak muttered in his heart.

"Eh? Did it snow last night?"

In the early morning, a soldier from the reconnaissance team walked to the fence of the camp and asked, looking at the frost on the wooden piles.

"How is that possible? It's only the end of November." A soldier yawned and said at the side: "But it is indeed quite cold. I need to add a thicker layer of clothing to the tent."

It had been three days since the reconnaissance team landed in the forest where the target was located.

This mountain is more difficult to climb than imagined and covers an extremely large area.

The soldiers have gradually become familiar with the feeling of camping in the forest.

However, as the altitude of the mountain road increases, the temperature also drops a lot.

"Do centaurs live in such a high place?" A soldier hid in the grass and drank the leftover broth from yesterday.

He said while looking up at the mountains.

"Fortunately, it's almost here. The first food of the day is the leftover meal from the night before. This is so sad." A soldier wailed.

"gather!"

Abel's call called the two men squatting in the grass back to the center of the camp.

"Everyone, we are almost at the location of the Centaur market. In order to arrive as soon as possible, please follow me now." Abel said with joy.

After days of running around, we finally arrived at this moment.

The ground became slippery due to frost, and everyone climbed carefully on the mountain road.

"Look! Here!"

One soldier pointed to the ground and shouted to the people around him.

The surrounding soldiers looked in the direction he pointed, and there was a depression on the soil where horses' hooves had stepped.

"There really are centaurs here." The soldiers exclaimed.

After climbing up the narrow mountain road for several hours, the vision of the soldiers walking in the front row suddenly became wider.

"It seems that the area of ​​​​this mountain is indeed extraordinary, and there is such a vast flat land." Clemont said in surprise.

After carefully comparing the vegetation on the flat ground with the trees seen at the bottom of the mountain, DeWitt concluded: "This should be the place we have been looking for."

"But there's nothing here except the lawn." Clement said, looking around.

Abel looked at the other end of the plain. After not finding any buildings, he felt some strange feelings in his heart.

"Keep going," Abel ordered.

The soldiers marched slowly on the flat ground.

"Ta-ta-ta-ta!" The sound of horse hooves stepping on the grass.

DeWitt looked around and found several armored Centaur warriors hiding behind the woods.

"Stop!" DeWitt ordered.

Everyone was shocked. After looking around, some sharp-eyed people discovered the existence of Centaur warriors and informed each other.

DeWitt walked out of the queue of soldiers, took off his armor and weapons, and placed them on the grass. He loudly said to the Centaur soldiers hiding in the dark: "We just heard about the existence of Claude Market and came to purchase and trade. We have no intention of invading Centaur territory privately."

After DeWitt finished speaking, the scene was quiet for a while.

A Centaur soldier stepped across the green grass and walked up to DeWitt.

This was the first time DeWitt had seen a centaur tribe. The centaur's muscles were as well developed and strong as described in the epic portrait. The limbs of the lower body seem to be very tense, as if they can smash the ground.
