The sun was setting, and the rays of light were overwhelming.
Kane's two teams finally walked out of the dense forest of Docia before sunset.
God knows, if they hadn't walked out of the dense forest, would they have encountered other dangers at night.
Walking to the wide dirt road, the cavalry squad leader saw that it was getting late, so he came to Kane's car and asked softly.
"My lord, shall we camp now?"
Kane opened the window and looked out, the sky was getting dark.
Walking at night is not as fast as walking during the day, and there will be attacks from wild animals from time to time, not to mention that the team members have only experienced a battle before, and at this moment they are in urgent need of rest to relieve.
After thinking for a moment, Kane said, "Well, let's find a place."
"Yes, my lord."
Kane instructed: "Also, go and inform Mr. Juta."
"Understood, my lord."
The cavalry squad leader immediately left the team and went to a distance to investigate the terrain and landforms.
On the other side, two cavalry broke away from the team and came to Juta's team to inform them of the need for camping.
The crowd did not move forward, but waited for the cavalry captain to return.
Juta also got out of the carriage and talked with Kane and the others who had just got off the carriage.
"Speaking of which, I just thought, how could His Excellency Kane's name be so familiar?"
"It turns out that you are the hero who defended the hill fort. I admire your actions very much."
Uta said to Kane admiringly.
Kane smiled and waved his hands, and said: "The big hero is not counted, and I am not the only one who can keep it. The two beside me also contributed at the time."
Uta said: "So that's how it is. It's really lucky in my life to meet a few of you today."
Catherine and Sitz hurriedly waved their hands modestly upon hearing this.
In the process of chatting with several people, the cavalry captain who went to the front to investigate had returned.
At the same time, it also brought a place for camping. You only need to go forward for about 500 meters, and you can temporarily settle in an area close to the water source.
Kane's two teams got up again and arrived at the place before dark.
The cavalry dismounted one after another, and the horses were placed aside.
The driver also got out of the carriage, took out a large piece of cloth from the back of the carriage, and set up a tent for the adults.
The team leader was very alert and led a few cavalrymen to patrol the vicinity, and stopped by the water source to fetch water.
Kane took Catherine and Sitz, and took out all the tableware, sleeping mats, and cooking utensils in the car.
While several people were moving the tent, the coachman had already finished setting up the tent.
Kane assembled all the kitchen utensils, while Catherine brought the instant food prepared by the castle chef for everyone and put it aside for later use.
Soon, several members of the cavalry team also returned to the camp, and they brought several bags of sufficient water.
"My lord, these should be enough for all of us." The cavalry captain came over and said.
Kane nodded with satisfaction and said, "You did a good job."
After finishing speaking, he took the water bag handed over by the other party and poured it into the iron bucket used for cooking ingredients.
He said to Sitz, who was preparing at the side, "Light the fire."
Sitz replied, "Yes, my lord."
Immediately, a trace of flame appeared above the staff. As mages who could control elements, they could still command the elements in the air even if they didn't open their mouths to chant spells, but the number of controlled elements was relatively small.
Flames flew from the staff to the dry wood beneath the barrel, igniting it in an instant.
Catherine sighed: "That's what the mage is good at, it caught fire so quickly."
Sitz touched his head and smiled foolishly.
Kane continued to walk to the bucket, waited for the water to boil, poured all the instant food into it, then covered the pot, and waited for the cooking to complete.
A burst of fragrance came out from the pot, arousing everyone's appetite.
It also made Juta and the others who were still gnawing hard bread on the other side stop the movement of their hands, and smelling the refreshing fragrance of the other party, they suddenly felt that the bread in their hands seemed not fragrant, and they couldn't even gnaw on it.
Uta swallowed a mouthful of saliva, turned his head and stopped looking at Kane, and gnawed the bread abruptly.
Fortunately, Kane was still understanding and said to the few people over there.
"Mr. Uta, if you don't mind, how about having something to eat together?"
Juta hesitated for a while, but still refused to say: "Thank you for your kindness, but if we come here, I'm afraid there will be enough food for you and others."
Kane showed his hospitable side, and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Uta, we have enough food for twenty people for five days, even if you add it, it is definitely enough, come and enjoy it together."
After listening to Kane's remarks, Juta no longer refused, but nodded and said: "Then I will be more respectful than obedient."
After speaking, he also ordered the soldiers behind him to take out their box of hard bread and share it with Kane and others.
The food was cooked quickly, a one pot beef and potato soup.
Catherine poured the soup into dishes in turn and distributed it to everyone.
In order not to disturb the conversation of the nobles, several cavalrymen and coachmen left the tent with thick soup and bread.
Juta held the thick soup in his hand, tore the bread into it little by little, and drank it, feeling very happy.
The same is true for Kane and others, either put the bread into the thick soup, or dip it in a bite of the thick soup and bite it.
At this moment, the sky has completely darkened, and only a small bonfire in the camp is still illuminating the area.
The surroundings seemed very quiet, and Kane and the others just drank the thick soup quietly and looked at the night scene.
After a long time, Juta broke the silence and asked.
"Your Excellency Kane, should you be awarded the Medal of Honor this time?"
Kane shook his head and said: "In the letter, His Majesty only told me to wait there, but did not mention the medal."
Juta said in astonishment: "How could this be? The deeds of His Excellency Kane are spread throughout the kingdom. Everyone says that you will have your share in the medals bestowed this time."
Kane was a little puzzled, when did the news about him in the Hill Fort spread, and it had spread to the whole kingdom.
"Mr. Jutta, where did you hear about the Battle of Hill Fort?"
Juta thought for a moment and said: "I remember, it was my father who mentioned this matter to me at the beginning, and I was ashamed to say it. The purpose of my father's saying this matter was to educate me and imitate you. He said that your military command His ability must be very good, and he will definitely be an excellent commander in the future."
Kane said with a smile in his heart, if this Marquis Eberd knew that he used his strength to repel the opponent instead of relying on command ability, how would he feel.
Juta continued: "Father once said that it seems that this matter came from Count Manville."
Kane thought, Earl Manvila, isn't this the commander of the Southern Front at that time
What is his purpose? Not only did he mention his achievements before His Majesty, but he also seemed to want to spread the victory of this battle around.
After dinner, standing by the bonfire, Kane thought about it, but he couldn't think of the other party's purpose after all. Maybe he was just optimistic about his junior.
The bright moon is in the sky, and soon the time will get late.
Kane also fell asleep with countless thoughts.
