Lord of the Oasis

In the early morning of the next day, Abel conveyed to all the soldiers that they could walk out of the mountains and forests within today.

The Elf soldiers didn't have any special feelings, while the Calradian soldiers were extremely happy.

After everyone had breakfast, the team set off.

Sure enough, before noon, the rolling mountains were forgotten behind us. A wide plain opened before everyone.

Perhaps it is because of the geographical environment, compared to the flat land at the gate of the dwarf town. At this time, the grass that everyone stepped on was covered with yellowing dead grass. When the soldiers passed by, they made a crisp sound of "swipe la la".

"Looking at it this way, it really looks like autumn again." Abel said.

"The plants in the desert are always green all year round. It was the first time I saw such a wide autumn plain, and I really felt the seasons changing." DeWitt said with emotion.

There seems to be only summer and winter in the desert.

In order to balance this climate, even in the oasis, trees that wither with the seasons will not be planted.

"It's a pity that we can't see the sun in the sky today." Clement said as he glanced at the sky that was obscured by clouds and fog.

Everyone continued to move forward on the plain, and the dead grass on the plain covered the soldiers' calves.

Seeing this situation, DeWitt suggested that everyone move forward slowly and pay attention to the movements around the grass at all times.

The elven soldiers naturally flew with their feet off the ground in mid-air to avoid threats. However, in order to maintain physical strength, the flying height is only about fifty centimeters above the ground.

The Calradian soldiers used the scabbards in their hands to pull at the grass as they advanced.

Austin was standing in the middle of the team, and when he was pulling at the grass with everyone else, he felt his backpack being pulled. After thinking about who was behind him, he turned back impatiently and said in a low voice: "MacLee, stop playing."

McCley, who was standing behind him and crouching down on the grass to check the situation, raised his head with a confused look on his face and raised his eyebrows: Wasn't he checking the road conditions? When did this man see him playing?

However, due to the quiet atmosphere around him, MacLee did not make a sound. Instead, he continued to dig through the grass.

After a while, Austinger felt the backpack on his back suddenly drop.

Suddenly anger welled up in my heart: I'm so busy here that I'm dizzy, what are you doing here?

"Bang!" Austinger dropped his backpack on the ground and yelled at Macley behind him: "You can't understand human speech, can you?"

The soldiers around them were shocked by the roar and stopped.

"Are you sick?" MacLee straightened up and said.

"You..." Austinger was about to grab the other party's collar and question him.

But in the corner of his vision, he saw that his backpack had 'run away'.

"Wait!" Austinger rushed towards his 'moving' backpack in a panic. As a result, when the backpack was tightly held in his arms, a scream of a living thing came to his ears.

Not only him, but also the people watching around him heard such a sound.

"Austin, come back quickly!" McLean shouted.

Although he didn't know what kind of creature it was, it was still very dangerous for the unarmed Austinger to stay so close to a strange creature.

DeWitt and three other people also came over. He waved at Austin to retreat.

Austinger himself did feel that he had not just a backpack but a living thing with a beating heart in his arms.

Austinger slowly let go of his embrace, but the creature pressed under the backpack remained motionless. Then he carefully removed the backpack.

"So ugly." Austin couldn't help but said.

Yellow-brown skin, pointed ears, and whole body covered with fluff. The first meeting gave Austin a chill.

After seeing that Austin was safe, Clemont stepped forward and observed: "Goblin?"

After hearing Clemont's words, DeWitt and Abel also stepped forward quickly.

After observing carefully for a while, Abel wondered: "Is this the goblin?"

Clemont squatted down in front of the fainted goblin, rolled his eyelids, and after seeing the dark red pupils, confirmed: "Yes."

"Why do goblins appear here? Don't they live in groups near volcanoes?" DeWitt said.

The three of them had serious expressions on their faces. After all, they came here to investigate this time because of the disappearance of the dwarfs. Among the initial evidence, all suspicions of the disappearance of the dwarfs focused on the goblins.

They really didn't expect to meet him halfway.

"Did he run out alone, or have we entered another goblin settlement?" Abel expressed his speculation.

"We have no way of knowing this for the time being." Clemont looked around and said: "The goblins are cunning and greedy by nature. Even if they see their companions injured, they will not come to rescue them."

"Well." DeWitt thought for a while, followed Clemont and squatted down in front of the goblin, felt the pulse on the goblin's neck, and said: "It's still alive, take it with you. Maybe we can start from It asked for news about the dwarf clan."

Abel and Clemont both nodded: it is best for them to have more realistic information.

The three of them looked at Austin who was lying on the side.

After Austinger noticed this gaze, he smiled awkwardly and said, "What do you need me to do?"

"Your name is Austin Ge, right? I remember you." Clemont said with a smile. He still had a deep impression of Austin Ge: After all, when he was in Durandal, he even sent him to the rest room when he was motion sick: " This goblin is in your care. You have to take good care of it."

"Me?! How could I..." Austin was about to deny it, but after thinking about it, he agreed: "Then let me take care of you."

"sorry to bother you."

After explaining this matter, the three DeWitts returned to their positions and directed the team to move forward.

Austinger pulled the fainted goblin out of the grass and carried it on his back.

"It's so heavy," Austinger yelled.

When I was worried about how to follow the team with such a thing on my back.

Clement's call came from the end of the line: "Austenger, come, come with me."

"Yes." Austinge bowed respectfully and nodded, and hurriedly walked over.

Over the past few months, the leadership status of DeWitt, Clement, and Abel has been deeply ingrained in the minds of every soldier in the reconnaissance team. So everyone couldn't help but be respectful to these three people. I completely forgot about the time I spent training as a colleague in the same team.
