"That's true." Clemmont glanced at the rapidly darkening sky and agreed.

The expressions of all three people became a little complicated.

"Otherwise, I'll take someone there again." After a moment of silence, Able spoke.

"Hmm." Devitt nodded and agreed.

With this decision made, Abel called a few men to follow him to the place where the brook was.

DeWitt and Cremont remained in the barracks to wait for news of their return.

Half an hour later, Abel and his party returned to the barracks.

"How?" Cremont hurriedly stepped forward and asked.

"We took a closer look at the movement around the creek, except for the footprints that DeWitt had just stepped on. I didn't notice anyone coming. Abel reported.

"I see." Hearing such words, DeWitt's originally suspended heart temporarily settled down.

"In that case, let's stay here for one night. Depart early tomorrow. Cremont thought for a moment, looked at DeWitt and Able, and suggested.

DeWitt and Abel nodded in agreement.

"It's just that we still have to strengthen our defenses tonight." DeWitt instructed.

By the time Abel led the men to investigate, the camping tent had already been erected.

Only today, DeWitt ordered the soldiers: no cooking for dinner.

So when it was time for dinner, everyone sat around in the open space of the camp and nibbled on dry food.

"Well, I miss the dinner in the barracks cafeteria." Austinger took a bite of wheat bread and sighed.

"Me too." A soldier chimed in.

Everyone talked about the food in the barracks cafeteria, and when they talked about their favorite dishes, they couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

DeWitt, who was sitting a little further away from the soldiers' pile, said amusedly: "Everyone is still chatting very energetically. ”

"Well, our soldiers have learned to find comfort in their memories." Abel continued.

"The days to come are still long, I hope they are mentally prepared." Cremont responded.

The climate in the plains in autumn is relatively cool.

But this is only for those who are in good health, and after dinner, DeWitt is driven back to his tent by Clemmont and the others to rest.

"It's getting colder and colder right now." After Crémont and Able sent DeWitt back to the camp, they took a walk outside the camp to eat. A gust of mountain wind shook the meadow, and Cremont felt a chill stir up, and turned to Abel and said.

"It's November now. The sky is getting darker and darker. Abel nodded, glanced at the sky, and said.

"It's November, and I haven't counted the date since I boarded the ship." Cremont sighed: "I didn't expect it to be almost the end of the year. ”

"It looks like we're going to spend the New Year on this island this year." Cremont said.

"I've got enough winter clothes." Cremont said with a smile and walked towards the barracks door, "It's time for us to go back." ”

"Well, but the elves still don't have a noticeable sense of temperature." Able said, following in Claremont's footsteps.

"Huh? I'm so envious. Clemmont was slightly surprised and said, "What about the fire spirits?" In the winter, doesn't it feel like it's the same as usual? ”

"I don't know much about that. But I don't feel very sensitive to temperatures and things like that. Able thought for a moment, shook his head, and said.

"I haven't asked before, General Ebel, what kind of physique do you belong to?" Clemmont thought of something and asked, "I haven't heard you say anything about it since I faced the Black Elves before." ”

"Actually, my spells aren't very powerful, and there are more elven soldiers on our team who are better than me. I was just chosen to be the captain because I was more focused on the physical aspect. Able said embarrassedly, "If I want to say which system my spells belong to, it should be the water system." ”

"A water mage? At the same time, it is really amazing to be able to cultivate physical fitness. Cremont applauded.

The first time he met with Able, it was a reversal of Cremont's impression of elves.

Because of talent and other reasons, the elves give the image of other races as a group of delicate and lazy mages.

And a rugged general like Able is also a member of the elven race, which really breaks a prejudice.

The two continued to make small talk as they walked back to the barracks.

As they reached the barracks gate, Cremont and the two saw DeWitt come out of the barracks in a panic and meet them head-on.

"What's wrong, Captain DeWitt?" Able asked urgently.

"Two soldiers fainted." DeWitt replied, his shirt wrinkled, and he looked like he had just received a message from the soldiers, and ran out without paying attention to his attire.

"Where?" Cremont asked nervously.

"At that creek, I heard that a group of them went there to drink fresh water, and it turned out that the water of that creek was poisonous." A soldier stepped forward and reported carefully.

"What?!" Clemmont and Ablezizi were surprised.

"Has anyone been brought back?" Able asked the soldier who had rushed back to report the news.

"It should be on the way back." Devit strode in the direction of the creek.

"Let's go check it out. DeWitt, you wear so little, don't go that far. Glancing at DeWitt's thin autumn coat, Cremont suggested.

"It's okay, my body isn't that fragile yet."

While the two were arguing, they stood at the door of the barracks and looked: two soldiers who had fainted, supported by four soldiers, walked slowly towards the barracks.

"They're back!" The soldier exclaimed.

DeWitt and the other three also noticed the movement, and walked quickly towards the soldiers who returned to the camp.

"Captain DeWitt, captain Cremont, captain Ebel. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. One of the camel man's soldiers had obviously just cried, and knelt on the ground with red eyes and apologized.

"Wait, don't panic." DeWitt commanded, "Call the medical team over!" ”

Able stepped forward and placed his palms near the hearts of the two fainted soldiers, and a stream of spiritual power seeped through the palms.

Immediately afterward, Abel's face sank, and he stood up and said to DeWitt, "No need. They have no signs of life. ”

"Ahh

Judging by the expression on Abel's face, what he said was indeed true.
