DeWitt, who was standing in the audience, had no idea that he would be called out suddenly, and his whole face was covered with a surprised expression.
Aubrey stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Your Highness has called your name, so go up and say a few words."
"Yes" DeWitt showed a hint of embarrassment on his face, and nodded to Aubrey in a panic. He walked quickly to the steps next to the general's platform, raised his eyes and glanced at Kant who was standing in the center of the general's platform, and found that Kant was also looking at him, he hurriedly lowered his head, and walked quickly to Kant's side.
"Hello Lord." DeWitt saluted Kant.
"En." Kant nodded, walked to the side of the chief commander's platform, and vacated his seat.
DeWitt nervously raised his head to look at the soldiers in the audience. After discovering the encouragement in their eyes. DeWitt took a deep breath, trying to relax his stiff body to a natural state.
"All comrades-in-arms, I am your Captain Devitt. We will set off tomorrow, and I hope everyone can prepare for the trip. The place we are going this time is a territory that our Calradian soldiers have never reached before. , and Dherim are also very far away. I don’t know how many hardships and hardships we will encounter on the road and during the mission. I hope we can overcome every difficulty in unity. Complete the mission His Highness entrusted to us, and all Everyone returned to Calradia safely!" DeWitt spoke calmly.
"Okay!" The soldiers standing in the audience shouted and applauded.
After DeWitt bowed deeply, he turned sideways to look at Kant.
Kant also applauded along with the soldiers in the audience, and walked to the center of the main platform.
"Well. Captain DeWitt said it well. I said almost everything I wanted to say." Kant concluded with a smile: "This task is entrusted to you. I hope you will not shrink back when you encounter any difficulties. The Calradia Empire will be your strongest backing."
The swearing-in meeting has entered an ordinary process, and Kant has been watching silently by the main stage.
It wasn't until Captain Aubrey came to the stage and announced the end of the swearing-in meeting that the soldiers dispersed in small groups.
Tonight's evening training, tomorrow's team does not need to participate.
This time it will take at least three months before this team can complete the mission and return to Calradia.
"These twenty fighters probably won't be able to go home for the New Year this year." Aubrey said with emotion when he sent Kant out of the training ground.
"Well. Let the soldiers leave a letter to their families. Before going out." Kant asked. His voice was like the breeze in the autumn evening, with a sad coolness.
"Yes, Your Highness." Aubrey replied.
"You have worked hard these past few days." Kant expressed his condolences again: "I will give you a holiday for the next two days. Ignore the work of the guards for now."
"It's okay, Your Highness." Aubrey shook his head and said, "I want to pass on some of the will of the soldiers in the army to the soldiers of the guards. They are too lazy on weekdays. It has to be sorted out."
"Okay, then treat it as I owe you two days off. When you want to take a break for a while, just let me know." Kant said with a smile.
"Thank you, Your Highness." Aubrey said saluting to Kant.
Kant waved his hand and stepped into the palace carriage. The groom immediately drove the carriage to the palace.
On the second day, a reconnaissance team composed of more than 20 soldiers, led by DeWitt, left Dherim. Aubrey rode early to the city gate to see them off. And brought greetings from His Royal Highness Kant.
"DeWitt, you must be careful on the road. If you are targeted by some wandering forces in the desert, you must do what you can, and don't be tough." Aubrey asked worriedly: "You as a scout As the captain of the team, you must take the responsibility of leading the team on your shoulders.”
"Yes, Captain Aubrey," DeWitt replied.
"Claremont, as the vice-captain, you should always think about the team. Do you understand?" Aubrey seriously confessed to a young soldier standing next to DeWitt.
"Understood, Captain Aubrey. I will definitely assist Captain DeWitt." Claremont responded.
"Okay, I have nothing to say. Let's go." Aubrey led the horse, sent everyone outside the city gate, and said goodbye.
"Captain Aubrey, goodbye!" The soldiers saluted in unison.
"Well. Goodbye." Aubrey nodded and replied.
Everyone rode on their own camels and marched neatly towards the kingdom of elves.
Aubrey hurried back to the palace, starting today, he will take over the work of the guards from others.
Walking into the gate of the palace, Aubrey heard the news that Kant was summoning him.
He walked quickly to the gate of the Senate Hall.
"Lord." Aubrey saluted.
"Did you just come back from the city gate?" Kant raised his head from a pile of texts, looked at Aubrey and asked.
"Well. It seems that the mental state of the soldiers is not bad." Aubrey replied.
"I'm relieved when you say that." Kant nodded and said, "I'm going back to the guards today."
"Yes. In the past few days, the work of the guards has been helped by the people under them. They should have wanted me to go back and take over." Aubrey said with a smile.
"Well, I don't have anything else to ask you for. I just want to ask about the status of your soldiers." Kant responded with a smile.
"Well, Your Highness," Aubrey said hesitantly, "I have a request, I wonder if you can agree to it?"
"What?" Kant asked, raising his eyes.
"Although, I know that my task is only to train the soldiers you need, Your Highness. The next thing has nothing to do with me." Aubrey's expression seemed a little tangled: "But I still want to try to ask: In the future, I will Can I hear from you about the frontline soldiers?"
"Huh?" Kant raised his eyebrows, and then said, "Of course. If you want."
"Thank you lord!" Aubrey bowed happily to the ground.
"It's okay. But I didn't expect that Captain Aubrey would care so much about the soldiers he handled." Kant shook his head and said.
"They've only been with me for three days. But I'm still a little concerned about what kind of predicament they're going to have on the front line," Aubrey explained.
"Yeah." Kant nodded. He didn't say anything more.
Aubrey heard the permission from Kant, and after saying goodbye to Kant with joy, he withdrew from the Senate Hall.
Kant continued to immerse himself in the copywriting, and before the scouts arrived in the elf country, the matter of the dwarf country could only be temporarily put aside.
