"Lord, then we're leaving." When Derrick rode past Kant on his camel, he bowed his head and saluted Kant.

"Well, I hope you can defeat the enemy and return to Dehrim in peace." Kant nodded, waving his hand to the warriors as he spoke.

There were probably more than 10,000 soldiers in the expedition. Walked out of the gates of the main city of Dehrim with great vigour.

Kant stopped there, and watched the departing warriors go farther and farther away from the city gates.

It's the familiar desert again, and when it gets dark.

The marching warriors had to stop and set up camp. Derick refused the warriors' request to hold a bonfire to celebrate him.

After dinner, he immediately walked to the tent in the center of the barracks.

This is the intelligence reporting center during the march, and Darek stepped in, and when he saw Bandak sitting in his position, he immediately bent down and saluted: "Commander Bandak..."

Bandak smiled and waved his hand: "You are also the commander now, just salute it." If it is seen by the soldiers, it is not very good. ”

"Thank you.. Bandak Commander. Derick said cautiously.

Then he sat down on the newly added leadership seat next to the sound of Bandak.

Bandak took out two letters from the stack of papers, handed them to Darek, and said, "This is a letter from the Elven King to Dehrim in the last week. One was given to me by Lord Kant, and the other was delivered directly to me by a messenger. ”

Derik nodded, took the envelope with both hands, and opened it to look at it.

Bandak got up and took a blanket map from the other desk. Spread out on the table in front of him and Darek.

"According to what was written in the letter, the preparation of the elven kingdom this time is indeed very thorough. By the time we arrived with our army, it seemed that we could indeed defeat each other with their strategy. After reading the letter, Derrick commented.

"Well, I think too." Bandak replied affirmatively, and then asked Darek to look at the marked map.

Daeric pointed to a green forest and said, "The elven king said that the camp of the lizardmen and gnolls entrenched on the border is located here, and it is indeed very close to Cumberland." ”

"There is a canyon near the location of this green forest, which is suitable as an ambush site. This time, the battlefield is probably also in that area. Bandak continued.

"Well, it's better that this war won't affect the territory of Cumberland." Daerik said, staring at Cumberland's location on the map.

"The elf king said that it has been raining continuously in the elven country in the past few days, and I don't know if we will encounter it then." Bandak carefully rolled up the map, set it aside, and sat back down in its original position.

"The fighters on our side should not worry, everyone has simulated countless situations on rainy days during their usual training." "But we really aren't familiar with the terrain there, and that could be a disadvantage," Derick replied. ”

"What the lizardmen and gnolls are doing on the borders of Cumberland right now is probably nothing more than a small fight in their eyes. But this time, the attitude of the elven kingdom is estimated to surprise them. Bandak recounted, "Our army will not stop in the Elven Country, but will probably meet the Elven Queen and then go to Cumberland. ”

"Hmm." Derick nodded, thoughtful.

The two continued to talk about the strategy before the battle for a while, and it was already late at night.

Outside the tent, the footsteps of the soldiers coming and going gradually decreased. After bidding farewell to Bandak, Derrick returned to his tent to rest.

After a few days of marching in the desert, the only thing I could be thankful about was that I had cleared the land of the dead. Therefore, the marching troops can pass directly through the territory of the undead country, greatly reducing the time spent on the road.

As Bandak and Derrick led their troops through the gates of the Land of the Dead, a proud cheer rang from behind them. All of Deherim's men are proud of their army.

Bandak sat on the back of a camel, his gaze circling around him. My heart is also full of emotion.

The city of the dead is also very deserted now, after all, the number of garrisons sent from the main city of Dehrim is still a little sparse compared to this vast city.

The sergeants in charge of the restoration were working very hard to make the City of the Dead a city suitable for habitation, or development.

Bandak jumped off his camel and spoke with the leader of the troops who came out of the city gate to greet him.

After learning that the cemetery of the soldiers who died on the battlefield had been completed, he immediately rushed over with other comrades who wanted to pay their respects.

A group of people walked into the newly renovated cemetery, and everyone's faces showed sad expressions.

Each walked in silence at the grave of a warrior he knew.

Bandak stood outside the door of the cemetery and did not go in to visit. After watching some soldiers start crying in front of the graves of his comrades, he couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart.

As a commander, he couldn't empathize with this group of newly recruited soldiers.

He walked through countless blood-spattered battlefields and watched countless teammates who knew him fall to the ground.

Gradually, his heart became stronger. It has become the leading banner on the battlefield and supports all the warriors of Dehrim to forge ahead. In his eyes, having such resolute willpower is something that every commander needs to fight on his shoulders.

"Captain Bandak, won't you go in?" Commander Derrick walked over and asked in a whisper.

His gaze was also cast on the park with Bandak.

"I don't need to." Bandak pretended to be relaxed.

Derick nodded in response, he could probably understand what was going on in Bandak's mind. And he said no more.

"What about you?" Bandak asked, "Don't you go to see your comrades?" ”

"Well, I've seen it. On the day the war ended. Derrick said softly. There was sadness in his tone.

Bandak looked sideways at Darik and sighed inwardly.

The two waited quietly for the warriors to come out of the cemetery, occasionally patting one of the warriors on the shoulder as a reassurance.

That night, the warriors of Dehrim, who had marched to the Elven Kingdom, camped for the night in the City of the Dead.

Received a warm reception from the local troops.

The logistics staff of the unit prepared many delicacies that had been treasured for a long time.

"If we empty your place, the lord should reimburse you." Bandak took a drink of the wine prepared for the feast and said jokingly.

The leader of the troops, who was sitting next to him, shook his head with a smile and gave Bandak another glass of wine.

It wasn't until late at night that the big guys dispersed. Return to their respective camps to rest and reorganize.

Prepare for tomorrow's departure.
