Lord of the Oasis

"You mean we might have fallen into someone else's trap?" Clemont asked slightly surprised.

This layer had not occurred to them before DeWitt made his deductions. Now that I think about it, this possibility is extremely real.

From this point of view, the purpose of the attack by this group of people behind the scenes should not be the Dragon Clan itself.

"Then once we walk out from here, won't we become the target of public attack?" Abel said.

"This is just a possibility that I have inferred. The specific situation is not yet known." DeWitt shook his head and said.

"We are really in a dilemma now." Clemont sighed and said.

"How about sending someone out to investigate the situation before our entire army shows up?" Abel suggested.

DeWitt had already thought of this method before, so when Abel said it, he replied: "The news that our group is going to the volcano has spread throughout the island. Either the elven soldiers or the human soldiers are It’s impossible to be sent out to find out information.”

"So," Clemont suddenly thought of a candidate and said, "Where is Gilbert? He is a goblin, and joining us halfway is purely a coincidence. It is normal for goblins to appear near the volcano. Let him go out and inquire on our behalf. How is the sound of the wind?"

"Yes." DeWitt's eyes suddenly opened wide and he nodded in affirmation.

"But what if he doesn't help, or lies to us?" Abel worried.

Clemont shook his head and said: "From my observations in the past few days, I don't think Gilbert would do such a thing."

"Now that we've decided, let's go ask him what he thinks." DeWitt suggested.

"Yes." Clemont and Abel nodded in unison.

The three caught up with Gilbert, who was running at the front, and repeated their guesses in front of him.

Gilbert was also a little frightened by this possibility and asked: "What are your plans?"

"For the sake of safety, our reconnaissance team will not appear in front of the residents near the volcano for the time being." Clemont explained: "The idea of ​​​​the three of us is that we want you to help us find out the news outside.

Bring it back again. "

"Yeah." Gilbert glanced at the group of soldiers following closely behind and said, "That's all we have now."

"If you can agree to us, we can agree to any of your requests." DeWitt added.

"Huh?" Gilbert raised his eyebrows, smiled, and said, "Okay, I promise you. But I will wait until you board the volcano to make any demands."

"Thank you." the three said.

Gilbert shook his head, turned his gaze forward, and concentrated on running on the road.

"I will take you out within tonight." Gilbert left a message.

"Everyone, follow up!" Abel looked at the back of Gilbert's cavalry and turned to shout to the soldiers behind him.

"Gilbert, how come he's not tired after running for so long?" Jeb, standing in the front row, wailed.

It was obviously a freezing cold winter weather, but there were big drops of sweat on everyone's forehead.

"Stop talking, I can't even see his figure." Levin, dressed in rough clothes, said, "Where is he running to?"

"I don't know." Jeb wiped away the sweat dripping on his eyelashes and said, "I feel like we can't keep up."

"What are you two chatting about? Run faster!" the captain of the second team directed them.

"Yes!" The two could only close their mouths and continue running with the queue.

Six hours had passed since we set out in the early morning. Abel looked back at his soldiers and found that most of them had extremely bad expressions. The elven soldiers who used magic to fly in the air had also landed on the ground due to the consumption of their spiritual power, following the Calradian soldiers. They were running, but it was obvious that they could not adapt to this way of walking. Every elf soldier looks like his soul has left his body.

Abel worriedly said to Clemont on the side: "We have to stop. The soldiers can hardly hold on."

After being reminded by his words, Clement also noticed the poor status of the soldiers. He frowned and said, "But Gilbert has already left us a long way. What if he can't find us and join us when the time comes?" manage?"

"Let the soldiers slow down temporarily and walk forward. They won't be delayed for long, so let them replenish some water first." Abel suggested.

Both DeWitt and Clement agreed to his proposal.

Abel immediately issued an order to the entire army: "All soldiers, advance on foot!"

"Great!" Jeb cheered first.

Just now he almost thought he was about to faint and fall to the ground.

"Everyone remember to replenish water in time. The walking time is only twenty minutes. In the afternoon, we will still run." Clement explained to everyone.

"Yes!" the soldiers replied uniformly.

Abel walked to the queue of elven soldiers and asked about everyone's physical condition.

"How are you?" Abel asked concerned.

"I feel like I lost half my life." An officer who was familiar with Abel gasped.

"Running is really tiring." An elf soldier replied.

Abel roughly checked the physical condition of each soldier. After finding that everyone was fine, he told them: "Take advantage of these twenty minutes to rest. In the afternoon, you can use spiritual power or physical strength. We can It’s still about four hours away.”

"Yes, boss!" The elven soldiers nodded.

"Austenger, drink water quickly. The water in the luggage bag is just for now." Levin said to Austinger who came to the front row.

"Well, I'll drink later. I'll come to Captain DeWitt to ask something first." Austinger turned around and replied.

"What's he doing with Captain DeWitt?" Jeb asked Levine, who was next to him, as he watched Austine sneak into the air and get close to DeWitt.

"I guess you're asking about his 'son'." Levin shook his head and replied: "Austin was worried if he couldn't see his 'son' for a moment. Stop talking about this and help me beat my shoulders. "

When Jeb heard Levin's request, he obediently put Levin's luggage bag on his back and patted his shoulders for him.

While enjoying it, Levin said to Jeb: "Because you are so grateful to repay your kindness, ask me to reimburse you for tonight's dinner."

"Really?" Jeb said in surprise, and put a little more force on his hands.

"Of course." Levin nodded immediately.
