"It's just that I want to ask how long is it before we send out the scouting team?" the captain asked hesitantly.
"Now the whereabouts of all the dwarves are unknown, and we need to find out the news as soon as possible. In only three days, you must set off to the country of the elves and join their troops. The seaport in the country of the elves can go directly to the location of the Cameron volcano." Kant thought for a while and replied.
"Received." The captain in charge of training the guards agreed.
Then he took his leave and left the Senate Hall. Looking at the direction of departure: he should have gone to the barracks immediately.
Kant rubbed the corners of his eyes, summoned the guards on the side, and asked, "When will the group of Elf Kingdom leave this afternoon?"
"Probably around Weishi." The guard replied.
"When they are ready to leave, let the guards in the palace get ready: follow me to see them off," Kant ordered.
"Yes." The guard replied.
"Your Highness, it's almost time for lunch. The dishes in the back kitchen are ready." An attendant bent down and walked into the palace to deliver a message.
"Well, put the lunch dishes in the side hall. I still have some work to do after the meal is finished." Kant nodded and replied.
"Take orders." The attendant called the team carrying the dishes, placed the dishes on the table in the side hall, and then bowed and left.
During the lunch break, the training captain appointed by Kant came to the training ground in the barracks.
Bandak and others sat and rested under the pergola in the corner. He noticed his approach from a long distance away.
Yadonis waved his hands to greet the training captain and asked him to gather under the awning.
"Captain Aubrey, why did you come to the barracks?" Yadonis asked.
"Hmm." Aubrey took a sip of the herbal tea on the table and asked, "Have all the soldiers gone for their lunch break? It seems that my time of arrival is not coincidental."
"Yes, the training ended half an hour ago. The soldiers should have finished their lunch and go back to the dormitory to rest." Bandak said.
"Hey." Aubrey wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said to Yadonis: "I came directly from the palace, Your Highness asked me to organize a team for investigation within three days."
"Reconnaissance team? Aren't there special troops in the barracks? Why reorganize?" Bundak, who was sitting by the side, couldn't help asking.
"The situation this time is a bit special. It is to go to the caves around the volcano for exploration, and it needs to cooperate with the frontline of the Elven Kingdom." Aubrey explained.
"Around the volcano? It's more dangerous than the desert." Yadonis shook his head: "It's not easy to select the right team."
"Captain Aubrey, you can only wait until the afternoon to come to the training ground." Bundak first nodded at what Yadonis said, and then explained to Aubrey.
"That's the only way to go. I'm still waiting to go back to the guard team. When the training is over in the afternoon, please help me organize it and don't disband too early. I'll come and choose among the soldiers at that time." Bree sighed.
"Okay." Yadonis nodded and said, "If you come here at sunset, you should be able to meet us."
"Thanks." Aubrey said, bowing to the two.
"It's okay. Do you need information about soldiers in the army? We can use these as a reference and provide them to you." Bandak waved his hand and then suggested.
"No, most of the people with strong combat effectiveness have participated in the selection of the guard team. I know most of them what level they are." Aubrey shook his head, and then begged: "But the selection still has to be done. Please both of you come with me, so as not to make any extra omissions."
"Of course." Both Yadonis and Bandak agreed to Aubrey's request.
After explaining the business, Aubrey explained that he had to go back quickly to arrange the guards, and then bid farewell to Bundak and Yadonis.
Although it is already autumn, the sun is still dazzling in the sky of the desert oasis.
When the hottest hour passed, the team from the Elven Kingdom was also preparing to set off outside the city gate.
At the same time as the group of camels stepped out of the territory of the resting place.
The gate of the palace was also opened from the inside to the outside, and Kant rode his horse and led the guards to the side of the elf country team.
"His Royal Highness the Elf King." Kant said hello to the Elf King while riding on horseback.
"Your Highness Kant, why are you here?" The Elf King asked in surprise.
"I can't keep you here to treat you well, but I still have to see you off." Kant responded with a smile.
"I'm really sorry to bother you." The Elf King nodded clearly and said apologetically.
"As the party interviewed, it's only natural to do so." Kant shook his head.
The two walked at the forefront of the team and walked slowly towards the gate of the city.
"His Royal Highness, I will go with you to find the traces of the dwarf people. I have arranged for the people below to start organizing. I hope you will not be distracted by this. In three days, the organized team will start from Dherim .” Kant interjected in the chat.
"The Calradia Empire is really strong in action. Of course, the personnel sent by the Elven Kingdom will be responsible to the end. Complete the cooperation with the soldiers of Calradia." The Elf King responded.
"I hope this operation will allow us to discover any imprints or evidence left by the enemy." Kant said.
"The last exploration distance only reached the vicinity of the cave. This time, with sufficient preparation, there will definitely be new discoveries." The Elf King said.
At present, there is still too little information on the disappearance of the dwarf country in front of the two countries.
Therefore, after the negotiation between Kant and the Elf King, it was decided to send a second investigation team composed of soldiers from both countries.
Walking to the gate of the city, it was already time to say goodbye.
"Let me visit the Elven Kingdom in the future. His Royal Highness the Elven King's body can't withstand the torment of this desert trip." Kant got off his horse and saw the Elven Kingdom off. Glancing at the scenery in the desert, he said to the Elf King.
"Indeed, walking in this desert for ten days and a half months is too much for my body." The Elf King also squinted his eyes and glanced at the desert in the distance: "Maybe I will visit Kant next time." Your lord is my descendant."
"Hehe, when the time comes, a simple visit won't work. You have to stay in Dherim for a few days before you can be counted as a definite visit." Kant also responded with a smile.
"Indeed." The Elf King nodded with a smile.
After saying their final farewell, the troops of the Elven Kingdom left the city gate and headed west.
