Lord of the Oasis Chapter 668: .The beginning of the journey

"Lord, then we'll set off." Derrick bowed his head and saluted to Kant as he rode a camel in front of Kant.

"Okay, I hope you can defeat the enemy and return to Dehrim safely." Kant nodded and waved to the soldiers as he spoke.

There are about 10,000 soldiers in this expedition. He walked out of the gate of the main city of Dehrim with a mighty force.

Kant stopped there, watching the soldiers set off from the city gate as they walked farther and farther.

It's the familiar desert again, until it gets dark.

The soldiers on the march had to stop and set up camp. Derrick refused the soldiers' request to hold a bonfire for him to celebrate.

After having dinner, I immediately walked to the tent in the center of the military camp.

This is the intelligence reporting center during the march. Derrick stepped in and saw Bandak sitting in the seat, and immediately bent over to salute: "Leader Bandak..."

Bandak smiled and waved his hand: "You are also the commander now, so let's just salute. If the soldiers see it, it's not very good."

"Thank you... Commander Bandak." Derrick said cautiously.

Then sat in the newly added commander seat next to Bandak's voice.

Bendak took out two letters from a stack of documents, handed them to Derrick and said, "This is a letter from the Elf King to Dehrim in the past week. One is from Lord Kant. One was delivered to me directly by a courier."

Derrick nodded, took the envelope with both hands, opened it and looked at it.

Bandak gets up and takes a blanket map from another desk. Spread it out on the table in front of him and Derrick.

"According to the content of the letter, the preparations of the Elf Kingdom this time are indeed very comprehensive. When we arrive with the army, it seems that we can really defeat the other side with their strategy." Derrick read the letter Afterwards, he commented.

"Yeah, I think so too." Bandak replied affirmatively, and then let Derrick look at the marked map.

Derrick pointed to a green forest area and said, "What the Elf King said, the camp of the lizardmen and gnolls entrenched in the border is here. It is indeed very close to Cumberland."

"There is a canyon near the location of this green forest, which is suitable for an ambush. This time the battlefield is probably also in that area." Bandak continued.

"Well, it's better that this war won't affect Cumberland's territory." Derrick stared at Cumberland's location on the map and said.

"The Elf King said that it has been raining continuously in the Elf Kingdom for the past few days. I don't know if we will encounter it at that time." Bandak carefully rolled up the map, put it aside, and sat back to the original one. Location.

"The fighters on our side should not have to worry, everyone has simulated the situation in rainy days countless times during normal training." Derrick replied: "But we are really not familiar with the terrain there. This can be a disadvantage."

"What the lizardmen and gnolls are doing on the border of Cumberland is probably just a small game in their eyes. But this time the attitude of the Elf Kingdom will probably surprise them." Bandak recounted: "Our army will not stop in the elf country, but roughly meet the elf queen, and then go to Cumberland by way."

"Yeah." Derrick nodded, thoughtfully.

The two continued to talk about their strategy for a while, and it was already late at night.

The footsteps of soldiers coming and going outside the tent also diminished. After Derrick said goodbye to Bandak first, he returned to his tent to rest.

After continuing to march in the desert for a few days, the only thing I can feel fortunate is: because I have swept the land of the dead before. Therefore, the marching troops can directly pass through the territory of the country of the dead, which greatly reduces the time spent on the road.

As Bandak and Derrick led the troops through the gates of the Land of the Undead, there was a burst of proud cheers behind them. All Dehrim soldiers are proud of their armies.

Bandak sat on the back of a camel, looking around after a circle. Heart is full of emotion.

The city of the dead is also very deserted today. After all, the number of troops sent from the main city of Dehrim is still relatively small compared to this vast city.

The sergeants in charge of the repairs are working very hard to organize the city of the dead into a city that is suitable for living, or suitable for development.

Bandak jumped off the camel and spoke with the leader of the army who was greeted by the city gate.

After learning that the cemetery of the Dehrim soldiers who died on the battlefield had been completed, they rushed over with other comrades who wanted to worship.

A group of people walked into the newly built cemetery, all with sad expressions on their faces.

Everyone walks in silence at the grave of a soldier they know.

Bandak stood outside the gate of the cemetery and did not go in to see it. He couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart after watching some soldiers start to cry at the graves of comrades-in-arms.

As commander, he was not able to empathize with the newly enlisted warriors.

He walked through countless blood-splattered battlefields and watched countless teammates who knew him fall down.

Gradually, his heart grew stronger. Became the leading banner on the battlefield, supporting all the warriors of Dehrim. In his eyes, having such a firm willpower is what every commander needs to bear on his shoulders.

"Commander Bandak, don't you want to go in?" Commander Derrick came over and asked softly.

His gaze was also directed towards the park with Bandak.

"I don't need to." Bandak pretended to be relaxed.

Derrick nodded in response, he probably understood what Bandak was thinking. No more words were said.

"What about you?" Bandak asked. "Aren't you going to see your comrades?"

"Well, I've seen it. On the day the war ended." Derrick said softly ~IndoMTL.com~ with a sadness in his tone.

Bendak looked sideways at Derrick and sighed inwardly.

The two quietly waited for the soldiers to come out of the cemetery, patting one of the soldiers on the shoulder from time to time as comfort.

That night, the warriors of Dehrim who marched to the Elf country stayed overnight in the city of the dead.

Received a warm reception from the local troops.

The troops' logisticians have prepared many long-cherished delicacies.

"If we eat you here, the lord should reimburse you." Bandak joked after drinking a little wine prepared at the banquet.

The troop leader sitting next to him shook his head with a smile, and offered Bandak another toast.

It wasn't until late at night that the big guys dispersed. Return to their respective camps to rest and rectify.

Prepare for tomorrow's departure.
