When the sun went down, the soldiers had already lit a bonfire in front of the built camp.
The coast of the island is not cold this season, especially for the soldiers who have been walking in the mountains and forests for several days.
Many people have already rushed to the seashore, in the name of catching fish, but in fact, most of them went to play in the water.
DeWitt and others did not limit the soldiers' relaxed behavior.
If they were in Dherim now, DeWitt and Claremont would have taken their soldiers to the tavern to have a feast.
It's just that they are only on their way home now, which means that the mission of the captains of the two of them is not over yet.
In order to stick to this image in front of the soldiers. DeWitt and Claremont just turned a blind eye to the behavior of the soldiers.
The situation on the elves side is very different from that of the human race. Abel came to the beach, and his emotions rose. It is estimated that they are still playing wildly at the beach with the elf soldiers.
In the huge camp, only DeWitt, Claremont and a few soldiers who were on guard were left.
It was late at night, and the night wind on the sea became cold and biting. The soldiers returning from playing on the shore each held a few small fish in their hands. Go to the back kitchen and ask the cooking soldiers to add them to tonight's menu.
Bamboo poles were set up on the bonfires in the camp, and the soaked cotton coats that the soldiers had taken off were hung on the bamboo poles.
Everyone gathered in front of the fire, waiting for their clothes to be dried, and looking forward to the delicious dishes served by the back kitchen.
"It's been a long time since everyone saw Haiba." DeWitt said to Claremont as he set the wine cup filled with wine to roast on the stove.
"If we can board the ship tomorrow. Then we will have to stay on the ship for four or five days." Claremont responded.
DeWitt glanced at Claremont and said, "Four or five days is nothing. Didn't everyone arrive on this island after taking a boat for half a month?"
"Thinking of those days, I feel sick to my stomach." Claremont complained.
"Heh." DeWitt said amusedly, "Is this the only impression left by the sea?"
Claremont waved his hand, indicating that he did not want to speak.
Early the next morning, the soldiers heard the whistle of the steamboat in their sleep.
The moment Claremont heard the siren, he immediately rolled over and jumped off the bed. Putting on his cotton coat and boots, he rushed to the place where the steamboat was docked, and shouted to the crew on board: "Wait for us! We also want to get on board!"
A Kraken stepped off the boat, looked around at the camp not far behind Claremont, and said, "Okay. But you have to wake up your people quickly, we are about to sail."
"Okay, thank you." Claremont nodded, and immediately turned around and ran towards the camp.
While waking up DeWitt, he hurriedly got dressed. Before walking out of the camp door, Claremont said to DeWitt who was still sitting on the bed: "Go and wake up the other soldiers. I will inform DeWitt and them."
DeWitt also got up immediately after reacting. Ask the soldiers who have already woken up to help wake up the soldiers in their respective squads.
The reconnaissance team assembled sleepily in front of the steamboat before they had time to wash up. Claremont rushed over from the other side of the coast with Abel and others.
"Get on board." The sea monster crew member greeted.
Calradian soldiers followed the crew onto the deck. The elf soldiers followed behind them and also boarded the boat.
"Where are you going?" A Kraken crew member stepped out of the cockpit and asked the scouting team and others.
"To the harbor," DeWitt replied curtly.
"Okay." The crew nodded and said, "Fifty silver per person."
"In total, Calradia will cost ten gold coins." Claremont made a calculation in his heart and said to DeWitt.
"Just use it. Last ride," DeWitt responded.
Claremont looked at him in surprise, and said, "But we only have five gold coins."
"What?" DeWitt said, eyes widening.
"Didn't I tell you last night? We don't have much money left." Claremont continued.
DeWitt was thinking about what happened last night: Claremont had indeed said such a sentence to him.
The coins in the team are managed by Claremont, and DeWitt usually doesn't care much about this issue. Didn't expect it to be this embarrassing.
DeWitt and Claremont pinned their last hope on Abel, and cast their eyes on Abel for help.
Abel sighed again in his heart. Since staying with these two people, he didn't know how many sighs he had already sighed.
Abel took out the money bag in his arms, nodded and mouthed, "I'll just pay for it."
"Thank you," DeWitt whispered.
"Do you have any money?" The crew member looked at the three people and said.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Abel replied quickly. Counted twenty gold coins from the purse and handed them to the crew.
The crew took the remuneration in their hands, counted it again, and said, "Okay, the cabin is below. Just go down and find a free bed by yourself."
"Below? Can't we live in these places?" Claremont wondered, pointing to the passenger cabin next to the pilot cabin.
"No." The crew returned to their posts without much explanation.
Frowning, DeWitt walked to what the crew called the underground cabin.
It turned out that in a huge space, the beds of people are also close together.
"Why can't we live on it?" A soldier looked around the cabin and complained.
"It's going to be very humid here," said another soldier.
DeWitt and Claremont organized Calradia to sit on their respective beds and put down their luggage.
This 'cabin' is estimated to have beds for about 200 people.
The beds of Calradian soldiers are grouped together. However, in some of the beds around them, there are already some homeless people.
"It's your first time on this boat?" a homeless person said.
"Yes." Claremont nodded and replied, "We are going to the harbor."
"Most of us also went to the harbor, who introduced you to find this place?" asked the homeless man.
"The owner of an inn at the foot of the volcano." Austin replied.
"The crew on this ship charged us so much money to live here. It's too dark," a soldier said angrily.
The vagrant said with a smile: "That's not what they said. The crew risked their lives for this business trip."
