Lord of the Oasis Chapter 797

Chapter 797: sailors who wish to leave the city

The next morning, Kant gathered Abel and Bunduk together. The three of them began to discuss their plans for the operation two days later.

“Shadow Stalker and Raphael agreed on a time at one o’clock in the morning,”Abel said.

“If we want to catch shadow stalker at night…”a difficult expression appeared on Abel’s face. He said, “With our strength alone, I’m afraid it’s still a little difficult.”

“I’ve already sent a soldier to the dwarf guild in the town,”Kant replied. “I hope that we can find some methods from the information provided by the dwarf.”

“Why don’t we directly seek the help of the hunters in the Dwarf Guild?”Abel asked in puzzlement.

“I wanted to do the same before, but after I inquired about the process of issuing missions to the hunters. Kant replied, “Moreover, the guild members take too long to review the missions. We can’t wait that long.”

“I see.”Abel nodded.

“The soldier will only be able to withdraw from the city in the evening. Let’s discuss and see how the personnel should be deployed at that time,”Kant suggested.

“Yes.”Bunduk nodded in response. “In order to not raise any suspicions, the soldier on duty that night will continue to patrol as usual. “After Raphael gave us the signal, I led my Caradia soldier to seal off the entrance to the entire military barrack.”

“Leave the aerial inspection to us,”Abel continued. “That evening, I will leave the camp ahead of time with a few soldiers and observe shadow’s movements from a distance.”

“The Shadow Stalker’s movements in the military barrack are strange and unpredictable,”Kant warned. “If you want to set up precautions ahead of time, you must be careful.”

“Yes!”Abel replied.

“When the time comes, I will bring the guards accompanying me to meet up with Bunduk,”Kant said. “Use the tricks the dwarf taught us to subdue him.”

“Your Majesty, you…”Bunduk and Abel looked at each other and said worriedly, “In order to ensure that we will not be attacked, it is better to stay in the camp and wait for the result.”

“No.”Kant shook his head, he replied, “I should still be the one to give the order to act. When the time comes, if I learn any important information from the conversation between Raphael and Shadow Rat, I will also need to make the decision to change the action plan.”

Abel and Bunduk saw that Kant was still insisting on his opinion, so they compromised on this issue.

The Morning Operation Meeting ended.

Kant heard the elven soldier running in unison outside the camp. He looked at Abel strangely and asked, “I remember that the Elven soldier’s physical training time was not so early, right?”

Bunduk walked to the entrance of the tent and glanced at it. He turned to Kant and said, “It looks like the group that left the restaurant last night.”

“They did not behave like a soldier last night,”Abel explained. “As punishment, I ordered all of them to run twenty laps around the military barrack this morning.”

“Twenty laps?”Bunduk said in surprise, “For the elven soldier who is usually absent in physical training, running this way is really tiring.”

“Yes, occasional punishment is also necessary.”Kant nodded. It was obvious that he did not agree with the style of this group of Elven soldier.

Abel lowered his head towards Kant and did not say anything.

The CARADIA soldier who had entered the city rushed back before dinner and brought the information of the Dwarf Guild.

“This time’s action is really fast.”Abel held a stack of the guild’s specially made manuscripts, “The last time Devitt and Claremont went to the guild to look for information, the dwarf guild sent someone to send the information over the next morning.”

“Maybe it’s because the route they took this time didn’t go through the hunter himself,”Kant explained. “This information was found by our soldier in the Dwarf Guild’s database.”

“It can be done like this?”Abel said in surprise.

“Yes. But after borrowing and reading this information, we need to return it to the database,”Kant replied. “And the deposit is also astonishingly high.”

“I see.”Abel nodded.

Kant and Bunduk took a portion of the information from Abel’s hands. They divided the work and read it, discussing it in low voices from time to time.

“It seems that we have to use the magic of the Elves to deal with the Shadow Demon,”Kant said after reading all the information and taking a sip of tea.

“But the light magic mentioned in the ancient books doesn’t exist in the current elves,”Abel said with a frown.

“It doesn’t have to be light magic. Maybe the fire elf can achieve the same effect,”Bunduk suggested.

“Okay.”Kant took out a piece of paper and said, “Since the ancients have left behind a formation to restrain the shadow spider, Let’s test the power of this formation.”

“Alright then.”Abel took the piece of paper and studied it carefully. Then, he said, “I will think of a way to modify this formation so that it can restrain the shadow spider in Our Hands.”

“Thank you for your hard work,”Bunduk looked at Abel and said.

“It’s fine.”Abel smiled gently and said, “The formation is still a relatively difficult field for me. “I have to bring the blueprint back and discuss it with my other comrades. “The remaining time is quite tight, so I’ll take my leave first.”

“Okay.”Kant nodded and got up to send Abel away.

Then, he sat back in his original seat and began discussing with Bunduk the battle plan for Tomorrow Night.

It wasn’t until dinner time that the two of them walked out of the tent in the center of the camp and headed towards the dining hall.

An Elven soldier stopped in front of Kant and saluted, “His Majesty Kant, Commander Bunduk.”

“What is it? What’s the matter?”Kant gestured for him to stand up and asked.

“The sailors in the city are preparing to leave the city tomorrow,”the soldier reported.

“Do you know where they are going?”Kant frowned and asked.

“From their conversation, it seems that they are going to the vicinity of the volcano,”the soldier said. “They said that they want to leave the city with the dwarf’s trade caravan.”

“Why did they run so far away?”Bunduk was puzzled.

“These crew members have long been notorious by the shore of the island,”explained the soldier. “They probably want to go to the foot of the volcano. No one knows their small town to find a living.”

“I see.”Bunduk nodded.

“Think of a way to keep them. Use money to get rid of the dwarf merchants who want to take them out of the city,”commanded Kant.

“Yes,”the soldier replied.

“We don’t have any information about the situation at the foot of the volcano,”Kant said to Bunduk. “We can’t let these crew members escape there.”

Chapter 798: Laborious Formation

“Yes!”The soldier replied after receiving Kant’s order.

“Have you reported this to Abel?”Bunduk asked.

“I have reported it to Captain Abel.”The soldier nodded. “However, captain and the other soldiers seem to be very busy, so he asked me to inform his majesty and the Commander.”

“Yes, Abel and the others are currently busy preparing for tomorrow’s operation,”Kant said. “It’s better not to disturb him for the time being.”

“I understand,”the soldier bowed and replied politely.

“It’s been hard on you. Go back and rest,”Kant said to the soldier who had been busy for the whole day.

After thanking him, the soldier turned and left.

“It seems that since the crew went ashore, the dark forces have not sent anyone to look for them,”Bunduk said to Kant as he walked to the restaurant.

“In the eyes of the dark forces, the sinking of the ship is just a small interlude that has been arranged.”Kant shook his head, he replied, “They don’t know these crew members either. However, if these crew members go to the foot of the volcano, they will come into contact with the dark forces sooner or later.”

“I see.”Bunduk nodded.

The two of them walked into the dining hall in the military barrack and sat down in a familiar corner. As soon as they sat down, they saw Raphael appear at the entrance of the dining hall alone.

“Raphael,”Bunduk stood up and called out.

“HMM? Commander Bunduk, His Majesty Kant.”Raphael was stunned for a moment before he replied, “What about… Abel?”

“You came to look for him?”Bunduk motioned for Raphael to sit down and said, “He’s still busy right now. I reckon that we’ll have to find someone to deliver tonight’s dinner to them.”

Raphael hesitated for a moment before he sat down beside Kant. He looked at Bunduk and asked in surprise, “Them?”

“Didn’t you notice that there are fewer people in the restaurant today?”Bunduk said with a smile, “Abel is leading his men to plan the Magic Circle that will be set up tomorrow in order to catch Shadow Crows.”

“Hehe, after all, this is my second time coming to the restaurant today…”Raphael smiled apologetically.

“Ah…”Bunduk recalled what happened in the restaurant yesterday. Because of his slip of the tongue, his expression became awkward.

“A magic circle? I’ve never heard of such a thing from Abel before,”Raphael said as he shook his head nonchalantly.

“He didn’t create it himself. We found the blueprint of the Magic Circle that can restrain the shadow spider from the Dwarf Guild’s database,”Kant explained.

“After dinner, let’s go together and see how their plan is going,”Bunduk suggested.

“Mm.”Raphael nodded. “I’m still quite curious about what kind of Magic Circle Abel will lead his men to create.”

Kant nodded in agreement with Bunduk. His dinner had already been served by the waiter in the kitchen. He was eating quietly at the moment.

After a while, Bunduk and Raphael’s meals were served.

During the meal, Bunduk looked up at Raphael’s eating style, he smiled and said, “By the way, Raphael, how is your recovery? You looked sick a few days ago. Now, your appetite seems much better.”

“My body is quite good.”Raphael wiped his mouth with a napkin and replied, “Previously, I felt very absent-minded and often had insomnia. I think it’s probably because of mind power.”

“It’s good that you’ve recovered.”Bunduk nodded.

Kant paused in the act of eating and glanced at Raphael, but he did not say anything.

Tonight’s dinner took about an hour.

After sitting in their original seats and chatting with each other for a while, Kant brought Bunduk and Raphael to Abel’s tent.

There were more than ten elven mages standing in the rather large tent. Apart from the soldier on sentry duty, all the Elven mages were present.

When everyone noticed Kant opening the curtain and walking in, they all knelt down on one knee and bowed. “King Kant! Commander Bunduk.”

Raphael was the last one to walk. He was completely covered by Bunduk’s tall figure. No one noticed that he was also there.

“Abel, how’s the progress of the Magic Circle?”Kant walked in front of Abel and asked softly.

“We have found a new way to solve the problem of the lack of light elements.”Abel’s eyebrows were raised in joy. “The Magic Circle should be completed by tomorrow morning.”

“Yes, thank you for your hard work.”Kant’s eyes were full of trust as he nodded at Abel.

“It’s all thanks to everyone working together to come up with a solution to solve the problem of the mana source,”Abel said with a smile as he cast his gaze towards the other soldier in the camp.

Some of the elven soldier lowered their heads in embarrassment.

“What do you plan to do?”Raphael asked curiously.

After seeing Raphael’s figure, the elven soldier exclaimed in disbelief and bewilderment.

“We plan to condense all kinds of elements together to replace light magic and become the support of the entire Magic Circle,”Abel explained with a hint of surprise in his eyes when he saw Raphael’s face.

“It’s indeed a good idea,”Raphael agreed with a smile after thinking for a while.

“It might take about fifteen minutes for us to set up the Magic Circle.”Abel looked into Raphael’s eyes and said, “It’s up to you how to stall for time.”

“Fifteen minutes. I’ve seen Shadow Shadow many times. The total time we spent talking together is not that long. But…”Raphael said in a relaxed tone, “I’ll do my best.”

“Thank you,”Abel replied.

After the conversation between the two ended, the atmosphere in the room was a little cold.

“Soldier, you haven’t eaten dinner yet, right?”Kant said gently. “I asked the breakfast reserved for you in the kitchen to be reheated. It will probably be delivered soon.”

“Thank You, Your Majesty!”The soldier said in surprise. He thought that he had missed the meal and could only eat the dry food in his bags. He didn’t expect Kant to be so meticulous!

“Tonight, you will probably have to stay up all night for the Magic Circle,”Kant said with a smile. “You must eat your fill and have enough energy.”

“Wow!”The dining cart was pushed into the tent. More than ten people’s dinner was placed on it, and it was steaming.

Beside the plate, there was also hot coffee prepared for the soldier.

“Your Majesty Kant, thank you.”Abel faced Kant and expressed his gratitude.

“It’s nothing. If you want to thank someone, thank the soldier in the kitchen.”Although Kant knew that Abel meant something, he still did not directly thank him. He replied in a relaxed manner.

“We’ll go back to the camp to rest first.”Bunduk walked to the door of the tent, turned around and waved at Abel. “I’ll get rid of the rest of you.”

CHAPTER 799: A Casual Chat after dinner

“Yes.”Abel bowed to Bunduk and watched the three of them leave.

“Captain Abel, come and have dinner as well.”An Elven soldier put down the steak in his hand and called out to Abel.

“Okay.”Abel nodded and agreed. He sat down beside the soldier. He took his portion of food. He said to the soldier who had already started eating, “After eating, everyone can rest for a while before starting to work.”

“Yes! Captain!”After the soldier placed a cushion on his stomach, his mood became high again as he replied enthusiastically.

After eating the food on his plate, Abel walked to the stove in the camp and added a few sticks of firewood to the stove. Then he sat on a chair and looked at the soldier from afar.

“Captain, you haven’t drunk your coffee yet.”When Abel was about to fall asleep in a daze, a soldier came to him with two cups of coffee. He said, “Drink some of this. Your body will be warm.”

“Thank you.”Abel opened his tired eyes and smiled at the soldier.

“It’s nothing,”the soldier said with a heroic smile.

The two of them sat quietly by the stove for a while and drank the coffee in their cups.

“Captain Abel,”the soldier called out softly.

“What’s Wrong?”Abel was holding the porcelain cup in his hand to warm his hand. After hearing the soldier’s call, he was stunned for a moment and replied gently.

The soldier turned his head and glanced at him. He smiled and said, “It’s nothing. I thought you had fallen asleep again, Captain.”

Hearing this, Abel also laughed out loud and replied, “I’m actually not that sleepy.”

After he finished speaking, the two of them looked at each other again and began to chat.

“What do you think about Captain Raphael’s matter?”In the harmonious atmosphere, the soldier finally spoke about Raphael.

Abel raised his eyebrows, he said, “Before Raphael came to the island, I thought that I would never want to see him again in my life. “However, a few days after I heard the news, I still saw him. “At the beginning, I still felt angry. “However, I felt his helplessness at that time from his body. “I began to imagine what kind of choice I would make if I met Raphael’s predicament at that time.”

“What are your thoughts?”The soldier cast his fleeting gaze at Abel and asked nervously.

“I can’t give a definite answer,”Abel replied with his eyes closed. “Perhaps my thoughts are not broad enough, which caused my heart to hesitate.”

“Is that so?”The soldier put down the porcelain cup in his hand and muttered silently.

“If it were you, what would you do?”Abel met the soldier’s gaze, he smiled and asked, “The group of soldiers who are with Raphael also have your former comrades, right? In your eyes, would they be the ones who would do such a Thing?”

The soldier was momentarily at a loss for words in the face of Abel’s question. He was unable to speak.

Abel did not intend to continue discussing this topic. When he saw that the soldier was unable to speak, he turned his face to the side and continued to drink the coffee in his hand.

The next afternoon.

Kant and the others received the news that the crew members were not allowed to leave the city.

Bunduk asked the soldier who came back to report the news, “How did you do it?”

“We took out some silver and gave it to the dwarf who guarded the city,”the soldier explained. “We asked them to find an excuse to detain the crew members. In the morning, the soldier who was guarding near the crew members’original living quarters saw the crew members return to the Inn.”

“Well done.”Kant nodded. “There aren’t many trade caravan that go to the foot of the volcano. If these people want to follow the next batch of trade caravan out of the city, they’ll have to wait for a while.”

“Thank you for your hard work,”Bunduk said to the soldier. “Let the soldier in the city go and greet the dwarf who is guarding the city. Let them release the crew members. Don’t make things too difficult for them
