Lord of the Oasis Chapter 671: .Decision after the battle
After a night in Cumberland, the elven nation's troops are heading back to the main city of the elven nation.
Bandak and Derrick are also in the queue. As the leaders of the main reinforcements, they also need to report the results of this battle to the Elf King.
And they also need to know what to do next as to what to do with the Lizardmen and Gnolls.
Three days later, the elves arrived in the main city where the elves had been.
Before Gabriel could return to the military camp, he was passed down by the Elf King and brought Bandak and Derrick into the palace together.
"It's really hard for you." After receiving the greetings from the three, the Elf King consoled.
"The plan to suppress the enemy this time went very smoothly, and I didn't feel any hard work." Derrick responded with peace of mind.
The Elf King said with a smile: "This great victory is a first-class good thing for the Elf Kingdom and Dehrim. I have already sent a letter to Lord Kant about the outcome of this battle."
"The Elf country is far from Dehrim. I don't know when I will receive a reply from the lord?" Bandak asked.
The Elf King thought for a while and replied: "I will receive a reply from Dehrim in about three days. I mentioned in my mind about the expedition to the territory of the lizardmen and gnolls, and I don't know about Lord Kant. How will you reply? Until then, I can only trouble you to lead you to stay in this elf country for a while."
After some thought, Bandakle replied: "Well, then we will wait for the Lord's reply in the main city. I hope His Royal Highness can summon us in time when the reply is received."
"Of course."
The three of Bandak stepped out of the gates of the palace.
"Commander Bandak and Commander Derrick, what's your next plan?" Gabriel asked.
Bandak replied, "You should find an inn near here. Anyway, in three days, a letter will be sent from Deherim."
Derrick nodded, agreeing with Bandak's idea.
Gabriel said apologetically: "Since the two commanders have their own plans, then I don't have to worry about you. Besides, the mansion near my military camp is really shabby. Not a week."
"Thank you for your kindness. Living near the palace can also know the news one step ahead. This is what we are most looking forward to at the moment." Derrick said.
"Yeah." Gabriel thoughtfully, and then said: "I don't know what kind of orders will be sent from Lord Kant. Then, I will say goodbye first, and see you in three days."
"See you in three days."
Bandak and Derrick booked a room at the inn closest to the palace.
Every day I go out for a walk, and in the evening, after chatting, the two rest early. It's quite relaxing.
On the morning of the third day, Derrick sat at the dining table in the guest room and made tea. The two of them didn't plan to go out today, and sat in the room wholeheartedly, waiting for the news from the palace.
Bandak drank a whole cup of tea. To Derrick, he said, "I didn't expect that I didn't have the task of the army, but I didn't get used to it very much."
"You haven't had a lot of rest for a whole year under the command of Bandak. You've been fighting outside or handling government affairs for the lord in the main city." Derrick said with a smile.
"But I don't think you thought much of going out to play. It's a lot of pressure to be the new commander." Bandak also responded with a joke.
"I'm not the same as Commander Bandak. When I was an officer, I would sneak around in my busy schedule." Derrick gave Bandak a sly look, and then took a sip of tea with peace of mind.
Bendak chuckled softly and said nothing further.
In the past three days, the two have also talked a lot about each other's experiences. The relationship has gradually become more familiar, and it is no longer as alienated and isolated as before.
Not long after the two became quiet, a voice of inquiry came from outside the door: "Is this the room of Commander Bandak and Commander Derrick?"
Bandak got up in a hurry to look at the door, and saw an elf in a guard costume standing outside the door.
After saluting, the elf guard said to the two: "His Royal Highness the elf king asked me to pass the two of you into the palace, saying that Deherim sent a reply."
Derrick and Bandak nodded together: "Then please lead the way."
Walking outside the main hall of the palace, Bandak and the others met Gabriel in military uniform at the door. It turned out that the Elf King had promoted the three of them to enter the palace together.
After greeting each other, they walked into the main hall one after another.
"Your Highness the Elf King, I heard that you have received a reply from the lord." Bandak stepped forward and asked the Elf King.
"Yes." The Elf King took out a letter from his arms and said, "Let's take a look with Commander Derrick. There are some instructions issued to you on this."
After reading it quickly, Bandak handed the letter to Derrick, then turned around and asked, "Are we going to Cumberland immediately?"
The stationery states that Dehrim's forces will join forces with the Elves to the lands of the Lizardmen and Gnolls.
"Well, however, I want Gabriel to take the march with you," said the Elf King.
"The march has been prepared in accordance with His Highness's instructions." Gabriel reported.
"That means you're ready. I don't know how the lizardmen and gnolls will react to the troops left to defend the city. But this trip is mainly to search for the results of the war. I hope you can return safely." The Elf King finally asked. .
The three responded calmly: "Yes!"
Out of the palace, Bandak and Derrick boarded the carriage prepared for them and went to Cumberland with the assembled elf soldiers.
The soldiers of Cumberland also began to prepare seriously after receiving the message from the main city.
Training is required.
The residents of Cumberland provide them with a wide field as a training ground, and the leading officer will lead his team to achieve the daily training target ~IndoMTL.com~ According to Kant in the letter: This The second supply was provided locally by Cumberland. Being able to take out the rations of 10,000 soldiers on the way to the Lizardmen and Gnoll territories in a short period of time as required shows that Cumberland's development in just half a year is amazing enough.
Kant also learned this fact from the monthly upload of financial books.
By the time Bandak and the others arrived in Cumberland, all the soldiers were ready.
In the early morning of the fourth day, nearly 20,000 soldiers set out from Cumberland for the territory of the lizards and gnolls.
The lands of the lizardmen and gnolls are not far from the lands of the Elf.
The three countries are located next to one coast and can be reached by walking straight along the coast.
However, this journey still takes about four or five days.
March by day, camp by night.
The soldiers are advancing at full speed towards their destination.
