"The list." The elf soldier handed a piece of paper to Abel and said, "The dwarf asked me to give it to you."
Abel raised his eyebrows and said, "Anyone who registers their name will get this, right?"
"Yes." The elf soldier replied.
"I see." Abel took the list and looked at it carefully.
He hardly knew anyone on the list. There is also no indication of race after the name.
"There are so many people involved behind that dragon traitor?" Abel said in surprise.
"It doesn't have Raphael's name on it," said the elf soldier.
Abel nodded, recalling the timeline. He opened his mouth and said: "Although the authenticity of this list is still uncertain, Raphael was indeed still in the mountains and forests at that time, delivering news for us. He has not yet participated in the group of dark forces."
"Yes." The soldier nodded after hearing Abel's explanation.
"How did that dwarf give you the list?" Abel put away the page and asked the soldier.
"There is a big pile of the same paper at the corner of the table where the name book is placed. It seems that the dwarf didn't have time to hand it to you, and you have already left." The soldier thought for a while and said, "Now that I know that I am with you After the news, the dwarf gave me this list."
"Did he say anything to you?" Abel continued.
The soldier tilted his head, thought about it for a while, and replied, "No."
"Okay. Now we have to go back quickly." Abel said: "The gate of the town will be closed at six o'clock in the afternoon."
"Yes." The soldier replied.
The two set off immediately, walked out of the theater, followed the directions of the road signs, and ran towards the gate of the city.
After returning to the barracks, Abel immediately gathered the soldiers who had returned to the barracks together. He said to them: "Everyone, you don't have to go to the city to watch tomorrow. The people at the boat company are more suitable for monitoring than us. We have already been targeted by the forces of the dark side."
"Captain! The ship club has received news from the Elven Kingdom. His Majesty Kant of Calradia tells us not to act rashly until he arrives on the island with soldiers from Calradia." A soldier who received the letter rushed in In the camp, report to Abel.
Abel took the letter, glanced at the date signed on the envelope, and calculated in his heart that Kant and his party would arrive at the coast the day after tomorrow.
"It seems that the decision we made at the beginning was correct, and His Majesty Kant does not want to startle the enemy." Abel ordered: "Everyone stay still and act according to the usual schedule in the barracks. Let the people who monitor us relax their vigilance. We will prepare for the next move after His Royal Highness Kant arrives."
"Yes!" the soldiers responded.
"Remember to keep in touch with the ship company at any time, the news they have is also very important." Abel instructed a subordinate standing beside him.
"Yes, Captain!"
On the day when Kant's ship was expected to arrive, Abel stood on the shore of the harbor and waited early.
The shimmering sea reflected his melancholy face.
A letter came in a few days ago, informing the news that seven Calradia soldiers had been killed and that DeWitt and others had undergone amputations.
At this moment, the two most difficult people for Abel to face: one is DeWitt himself, and the other is Raphael, who has been his friend for ten years.
DeWitt, if he didn't take the initiative to come to the door to apologize, it is estimated that it will be difficult to see him again in this life.
And Raphael was sitting on this small boat that was about to arrive at the harbor.
Abel's whole body fell into a deep sense of powerlessness. He didn't know what it would be like to see Raphael.
"Du—" A siren sounded in the distance.
The ship engraved with the national emblem of Calradia sailed into the harbor. Abel clenched his fists and walked towards the exit of the harbor.
He was the only one who came to greet him today.
The reasons: one is that he does not want to attract the attention of the dark forces for the time being, and the other is that Abel is worried that his soldiers will not be able to control their emotions. Do something irreparable to Raphael.
Kant was at the forefront of the team, and his powerful aura instantly robbed the sight of the surrounding pedestrians.
Abel also raised his head and looked over following the people's discussions.
Kant walked straight to Bundak and greeted him: "Hello, I am the lord of Calradia, Kant."
"Your Majesty Kant, hello." Abel was stunned for a second, then came back to his senses, and saluted: "I am the captain of the elf soldiers stationed on the island, Abel."
"Well, I've heard your name before." Kant nodded.
"The matter of the Calradian soldiers who set out from the island." Abel clenched his fists and said.
"It's over." Kant patted him on the shoulder and said comfortingly, "We are here to seek an explanation for their sacrifice."
"I'm really sorry." Abel said with a sad expression.
This sadness has been accumulated in his heart since the day the news came. Until now, seeing Kant and the others, he finally expressed all his emotions.
"It's okay." Kant said, looking at him. The hand has been on Abel's stooped back.
Bundak couldn't help but said to Abel emotionally: "You don't have to blame yourself."
"...I'll take you to the camp. The soldiers are waiting for you." Abel calmed down his emotions and said to Kant.
"Okay." Kant replied.
A group of people set off from the harbor to the camp.
On the way, Abel reported to Kant and Bundak what happened to him when he entered the city the day before yesterday.
After listening to Abel's statement, Kant thought for a while and said, "I don't really believe in the fact that there are traitors in the Dragon Clan. This event should be used by the Dragon Clan to distinguish whether the forces on the island are How to stand in line."
"Well, I think so too." Bandak agreed, "Other than that, I really can't think of why the Dragon Clan made such a fuss."
Abel was slightly surprised by the two people's speculation, and asked tentatively: "Then what should we do now?"
"It was the right choice for you to withdraw the elf soldiers in the city." Kant said: "The forces on the shore of the island are all converging here, and that place is really not suitable for you to stay. One step at a time. Make arrangements tomorrow, I want to go to the boat company and meet those people."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Abel and Bandak replied in unison.
After a while, Abel took out the list in his arms and asked Kant: "Your Majesty, do you need to look at this list again?"
"This list is still very important." Kant took the list and looked at it carefully.
