Chapter 700. The crowd that set out early in the morning
Early the next morning, everyone gathered in front of the lodging house to prepare for the harbor.
"Captain DeWitt, are you all here?" Able stood at one end of the line and shouted to DeWitt, who was standing at the other end.
"It's all there." Devitt shouted in response.
"Then let's go." Able stretched out his right hand and made a forward gesture in the air.
Fifty soldiers set out from the entrance of the tavern, and the elven soldiers walked in front to lead the way. Clemmont led the soldiers of Calradia behind him.
"This is a problem." A soldier walking in the crowd complained.
"What's wrong?" The soldier who walked with him responded, "Nothing has happened yet." β
"The thought of having to sail on the sea for almost a month makes my stomach feel uncomfortable." The soldier explained. The expression on his face was also very dark.
"It's not that serious. If that's all the way you are, what about a soldier like Austinger who gets dizzy in a carriage. The soldier who responded frowned.
"I'm going to vomit and faint on the boat." The soldier said, glancing at the queue behind him.
"Austinger, you're okay, right?" DeWitt, who was at the end of the line, walked up to Austinger's side and asked with concern.
"Captain DeWitt." Austin Ger was slightly surprised: "It should be okay. β
"When you get to the boat, if you feel unwell, be sure to tell me or tell CrΓ©mont." DeWitt confessed.
"Yes, thank you, Captain." Austinger responded.
At this moment, a soldier trotted up to DeWitt's side and said to him, "Captain DeWitt, you are about to reach the entrance of the harbor." Captain Abel asked me to inform you, and let me tell you that he wanted to discuss something with you. β
"Okay, got it." DeWitt nodded, then turned to Austinger and said, "Austinger, I'll go to the front and have a look." It's up to you to press the team. β
"Yes.. Be... Captain DeWitt. Austinger replied.
"Is there the entrance to the harbor ahead? Captain Able. DeWitt followed the soldiers to the front of the line and met with Able.
"Yes. A few minutes away. Able replied briefly, "General DeWitt, I came to you because the Elven King had told me to remind you to send a letter to His Highness Kant. β
"That's right. Indeed, I should have reported the situation to His Highness earlier. DeWitt suddenly realized.
"Hmm. The letters you leave behind will be forwarded by a messenger sent by the Elven King. Abel further explained.
"Thank you, Your Highness the Elven King, and General Able." DeWitt said gratefully.
After being reminded by Abel, DeWitt had been organizing the language in his mind for the rest of the journey, how to write the report.
The traveling soldiers arrived at the harbor built by the gnomes, and everyone could not help but marvel at the exquisite harbor that stood in a very different style from the other buildings around it.
However, the sails were about to set sail, and there was no time left for everyone to visit.
His Royal Highness the Elven King, dressed in brocade robes, stood on the shore with a group of attendants waiting for the arrival of the soldiers, wanting to see them off.
"His Royal Highness the Elven King." Standing at the front of the team, the three captains who were responsible for leading them curts.
The soldiers behind him, although a beat slower, also bowed to the ground.
"Hmm. Good. The Elven King lifted the three leaders by the hand.
"Your ship is about to sail. Let's get up there. I stand on the shore of this embankment and look at you. The Elven King whispered.
"His Royal Highness the Elven King, we will definitely complete the mission and return smoothly." DeWitt said sincerely.
"Hmm." The Elven King nodded, "I believe in you. β
Without further words, the Elven King watched as the team of fifty men boarded the ship.
The sea breeze blew the brocade robe to the brim, but the Elven King remained motionless.
"Your Highness, the seaside is too humid. Let's go back to the palace. The guard on the side admonished.
"Let me stay until their ship sails out of the bay." The Elven King replied.
"Everyone has life jackets, medical kits in their cabins..."
As soon as they boarded the ship, the soldiers listened to the ship's staff shouting over the loudspeaker.
Cremont stood at the gate of embarkation, counting the number of people.
After the last man also waited for the ship, the ship began to start slowly.
Cremont organized the soldiers to stand in a column on the deck.
Devit ran over from the other end of the deck and shared with Cremont, "General Abel of the Elves has given me medicine to keep the warriors from getting seasick."
"The elves would make something like this." Cremont wondered.
"I heard that it was the last expedition, and it was too badly tossed on the ship. Lessons learned. DeWitt explained.
"But this is the medicine for the elves. Can we Terran soldiers use it too? Cremont hesitated.
"Yes, the anti-sickness medicine that General Abel gave me was specially formulated for the human constitution," DeWitt said, "However, this medicine can only temporarily relieve the discomfort. β
"Hmm. It should be enough for people with weak constitutions. Cremont nodded.
Without hesitation, Claremont introduced the anti-stun potion to his soldiers, and asked individuals in need to collect it from DeWitt.
"We've already set off by boat from the Elven Country, I don't know if the lord knows about it." With everything done, Cremont sat down on a chair in the activity room, poured himself and DeWitt a glass of water, and said.
"It's supposed to be up to us." DeWitt took the glass and said, "I almost forgot about it today, but General Abel reminded me. β
"Captain DeWitt, you've been writing since before you boarded the ship, haven't you? No wonder, I can't even find you. Cremont thought for a moment and said.
"yes, time is running out." DeWitt said embarrassedly, "I'm really sorry to leave the work of settling everyone in with you." β
"It doesn't matter. Writing a reply to His Highness Kant is much more important than counting the number of people and the like. Cremont said unconcernedly.
Devitt pursed her lips and didn't say anything more.
The two were silent for a while, and DeWitt looked at the ripples in the water cup on the table, and said, "Have you started the boat?" β
"It should be." Claire ran to the small window and looked out the window at the moving scenery and replied.
"The first time I took a boat, I was a little uneasy." Devitt said as he drank his water.
"Me too."
