Chapter 665. The return trip after the battle
Early the next morning, Bandak got up.
Walking outside the tent, the soldiers in the team were preparing to receive their breakfast, and the food was very fragrant.
After seeing Bandak, they saluted and said hello.
After this breakfast, they were about to leave the city of the dead and trek back in the desert.
Bandak walked around the barracks and looked. I met a subordinate officer who was supervising his subordinates to feed the camels.
After greeting his men, the officer jogged in front of Bandak and saluted, "Good morning, Commander Bandak." ”
Bandak nodded and looked at him, "Is there something wrong?" ”
"The list of teams residing in the City of the Dead has been counted in detail." The officer replied.
"Hmm. Remember to leave some more supplies for the soldiers who stayed here. The main city repair team is still a few days away. Bandak instructed.
"Okay." The officer immediately left the place after listening to Bandak's instructions. Started arranging the distribution of supplies.
As the sun rises to the blue sky, the surface temperature begins to heat up.
Deherim's soldiers had already packed their backpacks and stood familiarly in their respective marching positions.
After the soldiers at the front of the line blew the order.
More than 900 soldiers from the war set out on their way home.
The way back should have been more relaxed and active than when they came, and Dehrim's warriors were unusually quiet.
After all, the comrades-in-arms who were standing beside him when they came have been buried under the loess.
Despite the victory in the war, the process of being consumed is indeed regrettable.
On the way, Bandak's party encountered the follow-up troops rushing to the City of the Dead, as well as the reinforcements who sent away the Elven Kingdom.
Two weeks later, Bandak and his men marched to the gates of the main city.
As soon as they were within sight of the main city, the soldiers on the walls spread the news of their triumph.
As Bandak rode into the open gates, the people standing on both sides of the street erupted in cheers.
Some of these people were relatives of the soldiers in the ranks, and they wept with joy when they saw their husbands and sons return safely.
After some journey, Bandak saw the palace guards coming from the other side.
The captain of the guard stopped in front of Bandak's horse and saluted, "Captain Bandak, congratulations on your victory. My lord has asked us to send a message saying that he wants to see you. ”
Bandaklema stopped, and replied, "Okay, after I return to the barracks with the troops." Then he went to the palace to see the lord. ”
"Thank you, Commander." The guards stood up and led the soldiers behind them away.
Before arriving at the palace, Bandak dismounted directly. The soldiers, handing over their horses, marched into the palace.
Led by Kant's attendants, he walked to the Senate Hall.
"Commander Bandak, I'll retire first. The lord has been waiting for you inside for a long time. The attendant, before and after leading Bandak to the door, left down another path.
In the hall, Kant was sitting on the chair in the main seat reading the text from the ministers, and when he saw Bandak arriving, he got up to greet him: "Thank you for your hard work." ”
Bandak stood up after saluting Kant and shook his head at what Kant had said: "I just did what I had to do. And the progress of the fighters is truly amazing. ”
Kant smiled nondeniably. Invite Bandak to sit down.
"Now that the only force in the Naren Desert that can threaten Dehrim has been removed, you can rest assured, my lord." Bandak recounted the circumstances of the battle in great detail, explaining the details omitted from the letter, and concluded happily.
"Haha" Kant applauded happily and replied: "The soldiers are indeed brave, after this battle, you all have a vacation, have a good rest for a few days, and the rewards distributed by the court will also be sent directly to the homes of the soldiers within this period." ”
"Thank you, lord." Bandak thanked him.
"If you find any subordinates with excellent performance in this campaign, you can also take them as key training objects, after all, you are the only one on the table now in the army who has leadership ability. With such a large number of people, it is inevitable that there will be times when you can't take care of it. Kant seemed to have thought of something, and suggested to Bandak.
"Yes." Bhandak accepted Kant's request.
The two did not talk for long, and Kant, concerned about Bandak's physical condition, asked the palace attendants to carry him back to his residence in a carriage after the conversation.
Kant himself remained in the temple and continued to deal with the affairs of the government.
All the warriors who participated in the campaign of the Land of the Dead were given three days off, which was already a rarity for them. When I returned home and saw the rich reward delivered to my door, I was even more happy.
Officers in the army are harder. Out of a sense of responsibility, they followed the soldiers who did not participate in the battle to the homes of the soldiers who had died. While apologizing, he presented the medals and rewards issued by the imperial court to the fallen soldiers.
Bandak also went with the officers of the various teams several times.
The rest of the time is spent resting in his own mansion.
Early in the morning of the first day after the holiday, he reported to the army.
Subordinates of the army prepared a welcome party for him.
Invited to speak at the last moment, Bandak stepped up to the stage and said to the fighters below, "I hope everyone can do their daily tasks well." Imagine yourself being called into battle at any moment. In this way, in a critical moment, defeat can be turned into victory. ”
"Good!!" The warriors below responded enthusiastically.
Bandak went on to talk about some lighter topics, and at the end of the announcement that the welcome party was over, he glanced around the team and called out, "Bill, Potlem, Derick, you guys will come to me after the morning training." ”
With that, he stepped off the main platform.
The officers named did not know what Bandak was asking them to do. They looked at each other, but they never knew why.
After the morning's training, the three men gathered with Bandak in the military hall next to the training ground.
"How do you feel about this campaign?" Bandak asked, sitting across from the three.
Potlem began by answering the question of inadequate strategic preparation.
Bill spoke of his observations of the soldiers, while Derick approvingly commented on the soldiers' ability to break through.
Bandak looked at the three of them and nodded inwardly.
Then he asked gently, "Do any of you have the confidence to stand on a higher level and lead the whole team?" ”
