Clough raised his head and met Kant's gaze, after seeing the determination in the other's eyes. Compromise: "Okay."
"Then let's take our leave first." Bandak stood behind Kant and said, "Please send someone to hand over the details of the crew in the city to our soldiers."
"Okay." Clough stood up and said: "If Calradia has any willingness to cooperate in the future, the 'Qianze Ship Club' will always welcome it."
"Thank you." Walking to the door, Kant turned around and responded to Clough.
"Three walk slowly."
After Kant walked out of the ship company, he turned back to his residence in the barracks.
"The owner of the ship company is really dishonest. During the conversation, he didn't talk about the news before the ship sank." Abel said angrily with dissatisfaction in his eyes.
"He doesn't want to wade into this muddy water, so just let him stay in a place he thinks is safe." Bandak said, "Didn't Your Majesty not tell the president any news?"
"This trip is for nothing." Abel shook his head and said.
"It's good to recognize the position of the shipping company." Kant said, "As long as he can remain neutral, it won't do us any harm."
"The turmoil on this island cannot be avoided without getting involved. In the end, how many people can remain neutral?" Bundak said with a sigh.
"When things have developed to that point, most of us have withdrawn from this small island." Kant responded: "How the dynasties here change has nothing to do with us."
Even if the dark forces on the island planned the shipwreck, Kant didn't think they would spread the news of revenge to the Nalun Desert. In this world, the spheres of influence everywhere are not closely connected with each other. It doesn't matter if the island is overthrown by the dark side forces, or it can be inherited by the person who is in charge of the house on the surface. For Calradia, it doesn't matter.
The reason why Kant came here in person was to let the forces of the dark side give an explanation to the dead soldiers.
Other than that, he doesn't care.
It was already evening when the group returned to the barracks. The hard trek on the road took too much time.
Abel wanted to provide Kant with a carriage. But they don't have the financial resources right now.
After Rafael left the island, the dark forces stopped exporting supplies to the camp.
A group of elf soldiers can only rely on the remaining silver in their wallets to go to dwarf towns to purchase supplies, barely making ends meet.
Kant also anticipated the situation of Abel and others, and did not say anything, but just hurried on like everyone else.
Not long after they sat down in the camp, news came that the soldiers sent to the city had returned to the camp.
"Captain Abel, they are back." A soldier squatted in front of the three leaders and reported.
"Let the soldiers come in quickly," Kant ordered.
"Yes!" The soldier retreated immediately after receiving the order. He greeted the soldiers who returned to the barracks with the news and walked into the tent where the three were.
"Captain Abel, Your Majesty Kant, Commander Bundak." The two soldiers walked up to Kant and the others and saluted.
"Have you handed over to the person sent by the ship company?" Banda Ke asked.
"Yes. They recorded the schedule of the crew's activities in the city on a page, and handed this note to us." The soldier took out a few pages of manuscript paper and held them in Kant's hand.
Kant took the manuscript paper, browsed it roughly, and said, "It is indeed very detailed. So, when you observed this group of people today, what did you see?"
"They are usually active in groups in the city." Soldier Hui reported: "Today, two people met privately with the old crew members of the ship company. Go back to the shipyard."
Bandak and Kant looked at each other and said, "Okay, how many people did you keep in the city this time?"
"Two people." The soldier replied: "Because Captain Abel ordered us to reduce the movement of tracking."
"Add more people tomorrow." Kant ordered: "Especially the two people who contacted the ship company and followed them closely."
"Yes!" The elf soldier nodded.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work. Go back and rest for a while." Abel comforted.
"Thank you Captain Abel!" After the soldiers bowed and saluted, they retreated.
"Your Majesty Kant, when do you plan to act?" Abel asked.
"Let's arrange for Raphael to meet with the crew sometime. See if we can lead to some clues." Kant thought for a while before replying.
After listening to Kant's decision, Bandak nodded in approval and said, "It's indeed a good idea, but will it attract the attention of the dark forces?"
"According to the situation around the camp in the past two days, it seems that the dark side forces are not paying attention to us." Abel considered.
"Recently, the forces on the island are probably making big moves. How can they take care of us outsiders." Kant shook his head and said, "We have to seize this opportunity."
"How's Raphael doing?" Bandak asked Abel.
"I haven't seen him today, I guess I stayed in my tent for another day." Abel replied after thinking about it.
"Now is also the time for him to tell us the clues in his mouth." A sharp light flashed in Kant's eyes, and he continued: "After so many days of calming down, it's time for him to express his opinion to us."
Abel's eyes became worried, but he didn't say anything.
During dinner time, the three of them still sat at the same table to eat. The atmosphere at the dinner table was still extremely quiet. Until it was disturbed by the noise at the door of the restaurant.
"What are those people doing?" Abel frowned and locked his eyes on the restaurant door.
"Is that person Raphael?" Bandak also looked over and saw a familiar figure being pushed around by people around him.
Raphael immediately stood up when he heard the words, walked over, and asked loudly towards the noisy crowd, "What are you doing?"
Raphael's eyes lit up as his collar was pinched, and he raised his head to look in Raphael's direction. After seeing his face, he actually laughed.
Raphael was taken aback when he saw his expression. With a serious face, he stared at the elf soldier who was holding Raphael's neck with his hands, and said coldly: "Raphael is still your boss. Let him go."
"Captain." The soldier called out in disbelief.
"Let him go." Abel insisted, "Don't make things difficult for me."
After hearing this sentence, the elf soldier loosened his grip. Raphael fell to the floor.
