Kant's fishing boat and salvage steamboat set off from the shore to the place where the shipwreck occurred.
Salvage efforts continued from early morning to late evening, but only a few uniforms of Calradian soldiers were recovered.
No body remains of the group were found.
After dinner, the workers on the boat prepare to continue fishing at night.
In order to call them searchlights, Kant took Bundak back to the shore.
On the second departure, a small boat docked. The Calradian soldiers on the ship walked up to Kant and reported: "Your Majesty, we have found the remains of the dead soldiers."
Kant froze when he heard the news. Response: "Where?"
The soldier pursed his lips tightly and pointed to the boat he was driving.
Kant approached the boat docked on the shore step by step, and stopped after seeing Claremont's lifeless face.
Bundak jumped to the bow of the boat. Helped the corpses of Calradia soldiers ashore one by one.
"So far, only seven of them have been found." The soldier reported to Kang Dehui.
"Now, expedite the transport of their remains back to the country immediately." Kant softly ordered: "The funeral will be held by Yadonis who stayed behind in the barracks."
"Yes." The accompanying soldier agreed.
Bandak looked at the seven dead people lying on the ground, tears welled up in his eyes.
The Calradian soldiers on the pier stood still, praying silently in their hearts.
After the salvage work lasted for a day and a night, it officially came to an end.
The search party found nothing but the remains of the seven fallen soldiers and some relics floating in the sea.
"Your Majesty, we have already searched the areas that can be fished." The leader of the search team reported to Kang Dehui.
"Yeah." Kant nodded in response.
Bandak sat aside and pondered for a while, then said to Kant, "Is it possible that the remaining soldiers have escaped from the sunken ship?"
"I think so too." Kant agreed, "But this way, we won't know where they are now."
"The sea was pitch black at the time. If they only had life jackets, where could they go?" Bundak wondered.
"...I don't know." Kant shook his head and said, "But if they can go ashore, they should go to Cumberland."
"DeWitt hadn't been to Cumberland before," Bundak explained to Kant.
"So, what about Durandal?" Kant said with his eyes brightened.
"That's right. In the territory of Calradia near the coast, apart from Cumberland, there is only Durandal." Bandak said: "Why don't you let Derrick search the edge of Durandal?"
"Well, tell the soldiers to set off tonight. Arrive at Durandal this morning and let them start their operations." Kant ordered.
"yes!"
The soldiers who delivered the letter ran out of the gates of Cumberland against the darkness. Mount the racehorse and drive to Durandal.
The gate of Durandal was knocked open early in the morning.
The soldier who delivered the letter took out the medal given by Kant, and said to the soldiers defending the city: "Let me see Commander Derrick!"
Derrick's mental state has not been good in the past few days, and he was still drinking when the soldiers who delivered the message came to his camp.
"What's the matter?" Derrick raised his eyes and asked.
"Commander Derrick, His Majesty Kant ordered you to organize soldiers to search outside Durandal." The soldier said word by word: "The scouting team may have escaped here."
"You mean someone in the reconnaissance team escaped from the shipwreck?" Derrick suddenly raised his head and asked.
"His Majesty Kant and Commander Bundak are so speculative." The soldier replied.
"I see." Derrick agreed: "Start acting immediately!"
Derrick got up and walked to the training ground of the barracks, gathering the soldiers together. He said to them: "One company and two companies went to the northern suburbs, four companies and five companies went to the southern district, and three companies went to the city gate with me. Everyone acted for me. Your comrades are now struggling on the verge of life and death. We are The only one who can carry out the rescue."
"Yes! Commander!" The soldiers replied in unison.
Because of the news that came in the past few days, the atmosphere in the Durandal barracks has been very low.
Now that everyone has seen the dawn, it is natural to try to cheer up and take action.
Derrick rushed to the gate of the city with a whole team from the third company. The search began.
Over time, the scope of the search was gradually expanded.
Finally, at the entrance of the cave 800 meters away, DeWitt and his group were found fainted.
"Devitt, Devitt, wake up!" Derrick knelt beside Devitt, and put his hand on Devitt's neck. After feeling the faint vibration, Derrick almost burst into tears with excitement.
"Medical soldiers! Come and see how they are doing!" Derrick shouted: "Come and prepare the carriage and stove, we will send them back to the barracks."
After an inspection by the medical soldiers, DeWitt and his party have confirmed that nothing happened.
There is a pile of burnt charcoal at the entrance of the cave, which seems to be left over from last night.
"If they come later, they will really sleep forever." Derrick said sadly as he picked up a soldier's luggage bag. The luggage bag was empty, and the fleeing Calradian soldiers really had run out of ammunition and food.
"Captain Derrick, we rescued a total of fifteen Calradian soldiers. And from the nameplates on their bodies, we know their respective identities." A soldier handed Dai a list in his hand. rick.
"I'll give this list to the soldiers who delivered the letter." Bandak took the page and said, "The most important task for you now is to take care of those soldiers wholeheartedly."
"Yes, Commander." The soldier replied with a bow.
Derrick got into the carriage and returned to the barracks with the brigade.
The soldiers who delivered the letter had been waiting at the gate of the barracks for a long time after hearing the news. After seeing his figure, Derrick immediately jumped out of the carriage, walked in front of him, and said, "Thank you for coming here in time to bring us such news and save the lives of the soldiers in this carriage .”
"I'm only in charge of delivering the letter. It's Derrick's ability to lead you that has an effect on this whole incident." The soldier took the list, glanced at it, and responded to Derrick.
"The soldiers from the southern and northern suburbs haven't returned to the barracks yet, so I wonder if they can bring some happy news." Derrick secretly looked forward to it.
"What news? Didn't you, Commander Derrick, discover the missing soldiers of Calradia?" the soldier delivering the letter asked in confusion.
