“Name list.”The Elven 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, “Everyone who has registered their name will get this, right?”
“Yes,”the Elven soldier replied.
“I see.”Abel took the name list and looked at it carefully.
He barely knew the people on the list. There was also no race at the end of the name.
“There are so many people involved in the betrayer of the Dragon Clan?”Abel said in surprise.
“Raphael and the others are not on this list,”said the Elven soldier.
Abel nodded and recalled the timeline. He said, “Although the authenticity of this list is still uncertain, Raphael was indeed still in the forest at that time, delivering the news for us. He had yet to partic.i.p.ate in the group of Dark Forces.”
“Mm.”The soldier nodded after listening to Abel’s explanation.
“How did the dwarf pa.s.s the list to You?”Abel put away the page and asked the soldier.
“The same paper was folded in a big pile at the corner of the table where the name book was placed. It seems that the dwarf didn’t have time to pa.s.s it to you before you left.”The soldier thought for a moment, “After knowing that I was with you, the dwarf pa.s.sed the list to me.”
“Did he say anything to you?”Abel continued to ask.
The soldier tilted his head and thought for a while before answering, “No.”
“Good. Now we have to hurry back,”Abel said. “The town’s city gate will be closed at six in the afternoon.”
“Yes,”the soldier replied.
The two of them immediately set off and walked out of the theater. Following the direction of the road sign, they rushed toward the city gate.
After returning to the military barrack, Abel immediately gathered the soldier who had returned to the military barrack together. He said to them, “Everyone, there’s no need to go to the city tomorrow to keep an eye on them. The people from the s.h.i.+p society are more suitable for surveillance than us. We have already been targeted by the dark forces.”
“Captain!”! The s.h.i.+p society received the news from the Elf Kingdom. “His Majesty Kant of Caradia told us not to act rashly and wait for him to bring the soldiers of Caradia to the island.”A soldier who had received the letter rushed into the tent, he reported to Abel.
Abel took the letter and glanced at the date on the envelope. In his heart, he calculated that Kant and his group would arrive at the coast the day after tomorrow.
“It seems that we made the right decision at the beginning. His Majesty Kant doesn’t want to alert the enemy.”Abel instructed, “Everyone, hold your positions and act according to the usual schedule in the military barrack. “Let the people who are watching us lower their guard. “After your Highness Kant arrives, we will prepare the next step of our operation.”
“Yes!”The soldier replied.
“Remember to keep in contact with the s.h.i.+p company at all times. The information they have is also very important,”Abel instructed a subordinate standing beside him.
“Yes, Captain!”
On the day when Kant’s s.h.i.+p was expected to arrive, Abel stood by the sh.o.r.e of the harbor early and waited.
The sparkling sea reflected his melancholic face.
A few days ago, a letter came, informing him that seven Caradia soldier had died in battle and that Devitt and the others had undergone amputations.
At this moment, there were two people that Abel found the most difficult to face. One was Devitt himself, and the other was Raphael, whom he had been good friends with for ten years.
If he did not take the initiative to find and apologize to Devitt, it would be very difficult for him to see him again in his life.
And Raphael was sitting on this small boat that was about to reach the harbor.
Abel’s entire body sank into a deep feeling of powerlessness. He did not know what kind of scene he would see when he saw Raphael.
* thud — * The sound of a whistle came from afar.
The s.h.i.+p with Caradia’s national emblem on it sailed into the harbor. Abel clenched his fists and walked towards the exit of the harbor.
He was the only one who came to welcome him today.
The reason for this was: firstly, he did not want to attract the attention of the dark forces for the time being, and secondly, Abel was worried that his soldier would not be able to control his emotions. He did something irreversible to Raphael.
Kant walked at the forefront of the group. His powerful aura instantly stole the sight of the pedestrians around him.
Abel also followed the discussions of the people and raised his head to look over.
Kant walked straight to bunduk and greeted, “h.e.l.lo, I am the Lord of Caradia, Kant.”
“Your Majesty Kant, h.e.l.lo.”Abel was stunned for a second, then came back to his senses. He bowed and said, “I am the captain of the Elven soldier stationed on the island, Abel.”
“Yes, I’ve heard of your name.”Kant nodded and said.
“The matter of the CARADIA soldier who set off from the island…”Abel clenched his fists and said.
“It’s already over.”Kant patted his shoulder and comforted him. “We are here to seek an explanation for their sacrifice.”
“I’m really… Sorry.”Abel’s expression was sorrowful.
This sorrow had been buried in his heart since the day the news came. Only now, when he saw Kant and the others, did he finally reveal all of his emotions.
“It’s okay,”Kant said as he looked at him. His Hand had been placed on Abel’s hunched back the whole time.
Bunduk could not help but be moved as he said to Abel, “You don’t have to blame yourself.”
“… I’ll take you to the camp. The soldier is waiting for you,”Abel calmed himself down 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 Bunduk what happened the day before yesterday.
After listening to Abel’s statement, Kant thought for a while, he said, “Actually, I don’t really believe that there are traitors in the Dragon Clan. This event should be the Dragon Clan’s attempt to distinguish the forces on the island from each other.”
“Yeah, I think so too,”Bunduk agreed. “Apart from that, I really can’t think of why the Dragon Clan would make such a ruckus.”
Abel was slightly surprised by the two’s speculation. He asked tentatively, “Then what should we do now?”
“You made the right choice by withdrawing the elven soldier from the city,”Kant said. “All the forces on the sh.o.r.e of the island have gathered at this place. That place is indeed not suitable for you to stay in. “Let’s stick to our original plan and take it one step at a time. “Arrange it tomorrow. I want to go to the boatyard and meet those people.”
“Yes, your Majesty,”Abel and Bunduk answered in unison.
After a while, Abel took out the list in his pocket and asked Kant, “Your Majesty, do you want to take a look at this list again?”
“This list is very important.”Kant took the list and looked at it carefully.
