Austin was helped by Claremont and another soldier of the reconnaissance team to the resting place that Derrick said.
"I said you, if you can't sit in the carriage, tell me earlier. Everyone is in a mess because of you." After placing Austin on the chair in the lounge, the soldier complained to Austin.
"It's also my first time riding in a carriage. I didn't expect it to turn out like this." Austin replied with his head down. There was a hint of guilt in his tone.
"You can rest here. Commander Derrick said that the kitchen will prepare some light meals for you. Let's go first." Claremont confessed.
After seeing Austin nodding, Claremont walked out with the soldiers on the side.
By the time the two of them went to the banquet site, the banquet had already begun.
The scouts mingled lively with the local Durandal soldiers. Tell each other some funny jokes.
"Why did you start eating so quickly?" The soldier who followed Clement walked to the table of his familiar comrades, dissatisfied.
"Come, come, let's go together." The soldier who was sitting greeted without hesitation.
As soon as Claremont entered the arena, he noticed that Derrick and DeWitt were sitting on the front seat and waving hello to him.
Seeing the empty seat beside Derrick, Claremont walked over silently.
"Thank you for your hard work." DeWitt said consolingly.
"It's fine," Claremont replied.
"I've been chatting with Captain DeWitt for quite a while now. You just came. I said earlier that the fainted soldiers should be handed over to my soldiers," Derrick said.
"How are you chatting? Have you had a drink?" Claremont sat down in his seat and asked, changing the subject.
"I won't drink today, because I'm worried that it will delay your trip." Derrick explained.
"I'm asking Commander Derrick for advice on how to do a good job as captain." DeWitt said with a smile.
"By the way, you're here just as we were talking." Derrick nodded to Devitt, then turned to Claremont and smiled, "Claymont, can you tell me what you think of as a The standard that a leader should have."
"I..." Claremont raised his teacup, his eyes couldn't help shaking, and said, "I should still be in the learning stage. I don't know very well."
"Hmm." Derrick didn't continue to ask him, but turned his head and asked DeWitt the same question: "Where's Captain DeWitt?"
"I think as a leader, you should do everything well. You can always make the right decisions at critical moments." DeWitt replied: "It must be a perfect person."
"Hehe." Derrick said with a smile: "With such a mentality, one cannot become a good leader."
"Why?" DeWitt asked curiously.
Claremont also turned his attention to Derrick, hoping to get an answer from him.
"You have to know that our life itself is always full of contradictions. The power of contradictions allows us to live. So if you blindly pursue perfection yourself, you will not be able to match the inertia brought about by the contradictions in this world. The team behind will also be destroyed." Derrick took a sip of tea and continued: "Whether it is a good strength or a weakness that cannot be exposed. The leader is to fill in the gaps of the entire group, only you put your whole body Be connected to the group, and when you shine, others will notice your group. In this way, over time, you can become a strong and allowed force in this world."
After hearing what Derrick said, DeWitt and Claremont were silent for a while without making a sound.
"I didn't expect that such a calm insight was behind Derrick's leadership belief." DeWitt said with emotion.
"There are a lot of people who have become leaders in this world. There are many talents of all kinds among them. They also have a different definition of the position of leader in their hearts. I just said that I sit in In this position, it’s just what I feel. For you now, the most important thing is to have confidence, and don’t fantasize about the end at the beginning. Next, you and your group will spend about half a year outside the country of Calradia Don't let this group disband at the very beginning." Derrick was a little embarrassed by DeWitt's praise, and then said to the two. The last sentence, Derrick said specifically to Derek. His eyes were extremely determined.
"Yes. Commander Derrick." DeWitt replied seriously.
"Do all leaders need to have the same vision as Derrick leading you?" Claremont asked softly.
"Actually, I don't think I'm suitable to be regarded as a leader." Derrick said with a smile: "A leader's eyes are always on the future. And I don't have that kind of talent. In order not to look too ordinary, I can only use I turn my attention to the past. I want to explore the origin of things and find some truths that can maintain my survival."
"It's still taught." DeWitt noticed that Derrick's mood seemed a little depressed, and immediately raised his teacup to offer tea to Derrick.
"I hope you will have a smooth journey when you set off tomorrow." Derrick responded.
All three raised their glasses together and drank the tea.
"Don't drink too much tea, or you won't be able to sleep tonight." Derrick joked.
The second day, early morning.
The barracks sent supplies for supplies, and while the scouts were still washing, they kindly helped them load these supplies on the camels.
After the soldiers finished their breakfast, they went out and saw a camel team full of supplies parked in front of the door.
They all thanked the Durandal garrison on the side.
"You're welcome, this is what we should do." The representative of the soldiers in the barracks replied: "If you want to go to the kingdom of elves, you need to go out through the city gate on the west side. Follow that road, and after four or five days, you can see We have arrived at the official road of the Elven Kingdom. Let me lead the way for everyone."
After the voice fell, the soldier representative dismissed the rest of the soldiers and asked them to return to the barracks.
DeWitt took all the soldiers and followed the soldier representatives and set off towards the city gate.
After arriving outside the city gate. DeWitt happily thanked the soldier representative again: "Thank you for your hard work."
"Well, I wish you a smooth journey. When I come back, I hope to see you return safely along this road in four months." The soldier representative bid farewell.
Twenty or so soldiers rode on their own camels and lined up neatly in the order of the squad.
Set off towards the desert.
"There are still five days to go to the country of elves." DeWitt said.
"Yeah." Claremont replied, "We're about to meet up with the elves' soldiers."
