Austiner glanced at Gilbert beside him, still confused.
On the way to the march, Austiner couldn't help but bent down and asked Gilbert, "What's going on with you today?"
"I just feel that my question yesterday made you sad, and I want to make it up to you today." Gilbert smiled mischievously.
Although Austin blushed a little because his mood was seen through, Gilbert's smile after that really made him shiver. Trying to explain: "No, my character"
"It's okay, it's just today." Gilbert said with a smile.
It seems that today's day is not going well. Austin thought silently in his heart.
At noon, when everyone hid in the shade of the trees to rest. Claremont and Abel came over and asked Gilbert: "Did you have any impression of the Dragon Clan on the way to exile?"
"Are you going to take the road where the Dragon Clan's territory is?" Gilbert frowned and asked back.
"Well, after all, we want to reach the volcano earlier. As far as our current position is concerned, that will be a shortcut." Abel explained: "What's the matter? Are the dragons very difficult to deal with?"
"Now this season is the dormant period of the dragons. When the dragons are dormant, they will ask the 'Yarong' to guard the surrounding area. Although the ability of the 'Yarong' is far less than that of the dragons. But they are sensitive to the surrounding environment. The induction is very strong. As long as you step within ten miles of where they are, your footsteps can be heard clearly." Gilbert said: "And the dragon clan is isolated from the forces of all races on the island. You cannot enter the dragon clan It is one of the iron rules on this island."
Austin's eyes widened when he heard that: "It's so powerful!"
The eyes of Claremont and the others also became anxious. They finally reached this step, but they didn't expect that the last difficulty in front of them would be so difficult.
It's no wonder that among the four points of information sent to them by the dwarves, the dragon family has the least weight.
"Even if you can defeat the 'Yarong', once the power of the dragon clan is awakened, you will be the targets of expulsion from the entire island." Gilbert said with emphasis.
"Why? Isn't the Dragon Clan not in touch with you?" Austin asked in shock.
Although he hasn't seen the true face of the Dragon Clan yet, the intimidating momentum of the other party's call to attract thousands of horses and horses has already been sketched in Austin's mind.
"This is an agreement signed between the various families on the island, and why there is such an agreement. I don't know." Gilbert first answered Aostinger's question, and then said to Claremont: "So I suggest that you should go a little further, even if it takes some time. You don't have to force yourself into a dead end."
After listening to Gilbert's words, Claremont exchanged glances with Abel. Then he said: "Thank you for telling us this. Without you, perhaps we would not have known the news before we stepped into the territory of the Dragon Clan. However, we still have to discuss the specific marching plan before we can make a decision."
"Of course, I'm just a suggestion." Gilbert shook his head and said.
Claremont and Abel nodded and left.
After a while, Abel asked everyone to gather and prepare to set off.
During the journey in the afternoon, the soldiers still talked about some fashionable topics lively like this morning.
Austin looked around and said in a low voice, "It seems that the news about the Dragon Clan hasn't spread yet."
"Of course, no one knows that there is a dead end ahead, and is willing to follow those three people. It is estimated that the clear information from me has been sealed in the circle of the three of them." Gilbert stared at Abel The back, said bitterly.
"Don't say that." Austin looked at Gilbert's determined expression, and sighed: "You don't understand the atmosphere in the army. Everyone is single-minded in wanting to complete the task, and these three captains are trustworthy good people. Even In the end, I chose to go that way, and knowing the inside story, I believe that they have thought of a good countermeasure, let alone other soldiers."
"Hmph." Gilbert said, "What else can be done in this situation. They always want to die, and I will take you away."
"Hehe." Austin chuckled lightly, "I'm such a big living person, I can still be dragged away by you. Don't think about these things. It's still far away from the day when the decision is made."
Gilbert looked up at Austin, looking at the other's smiling face. With a sigh: Will the optimism of Calradia soldiers be trained when they enlist? Why is everyone in this barracks like this.
"It's the first time I saw the sunset in winter." A soldier said with emotion to the sunset.
"Me too," replied another soldier.
"It's almost the end of the year now, and Deherim should be about to start preparing for the New Year's festival." Jeb recalled.
"It's a pity that Deherim can't celebrate the New Year this year." Levin said with a choked voice.
"Stop talking, I'm reminded of the homemade smoked pork every year in my hometown." Jeb sniffed and said.
"Why do you want to eat?" Levine glanced at Jeb in disgust.
"Forehead"
As the soldiers said, the city of Dherim is already bustling.
Even with the heavy snowfall, there are still many people happily going to the streets to buy new year's goods.
Kant also rarely walked out on the street in casual clothes, with only Aubrey and a guard by his side.
"Looking at how prosperous the city of Dherim is, you can feel at ease, Your Majesty." Aub said with a smile inside.
"It's a good thing to be lively." Kant nodded and said: "The New Year's goods sent to Durandal must have arrived."
"Well, the escort team set off a week ago. I guess it's on the way back now." Aubrey replied.
"After they come back, within a few days, Dherim will close the city gate. Sure enough, staying in the desert, I can't feel the autumn weather at all. In a blink of an eye, it is almost the end of the year now." Kant said with emotion .
"Your Majesty," Aubrey said hesitantly, "news from the island."
"I haven't received any news from the elves recently. I only found out a few days ago that DeWitt and the others seem to have changed their route on the way. Therefore, the elves have not received any news from them," Kant said.
"Then will something unexpected happen to them?" Aubrey asked worriedly.
"Accidents are inevitable in places where people are unfamiliar." Kant explained, "However, according to the content of the letter, it seems that there is only a slight mistake in the food."
