"It's here!"

Sure enough, as the soldier who led the scout out out of the city said.

After four days of trekking through the desert, the scout's team reached a flat stone brick road.

There is also a sign at the entrance to the road.

Looking at the text on it, it is indeed written by the elves.

"If you follow this road, you should be able to reach the main city of the Elven Kingdom." Cremont said.

"Hmm." DeWitt nodded and replied in the affirmative.

Then he directed the team to move on.

After walking for about half an hour, more than two dozen people finally found the whereabouts of the elves on the road.

"It seems that this is the right way to go." Cremont said happily.

"Kalman, you go and ask for directions." DeWitt ordered to the soldiers beside him.

"Yes." The soldier known as Kalman immediately dismounted from his camel. After a trot, he walked up to the elven people on the road and asked, "Hello, we are soldiers from the Calradia Empire." What is the way to the main city of the Elven Kingdom? ”

The elven man seemed to be a wandering trader, looking at Kalman from beginning to end. He said "croak la croak la" again.

"What did you say?" Kalman's eyes widened, a little confused.

After bowing apologetically, he ran back to DeWitt's horse and reported, "Captain, I don't understand what the elf said. ”

"Huh? Didn't he speak Esperanto? Devitt asked.

"I don't know what he's talking about, it's not Esperanto anyway. I think it's the elves' own language. Kalman thought for a moment and replied.

"Alright. We must have met elves who don't speak Esperanto. Hurry up and get on your camel, and we'll keep walking. DeWitt commanded.

The team continued to move forward, and the voices of the soldiers began to hear from each other.

"How many elves can't speak Esperanto, and they won't be able to communicate when they go on missions together in the future." One soldier worried.

"It's probably a lot, it's just that we just met. However, I heard from the officer who returned from Cumberland: the elves are super lazy and arrogant. There may be xenophobia or something. One soldier responded.

"No, no matter how strong the elven country is, doesn't it often ask our country for reinforcements? They don't even bother with that. One soldier shook his head.

"Who knows." The conversation didn't go on any longer.

The group continued on their way, but not after a while. On the way, they met the elven army that had come to meet them.

"Welcome the soldiers of the Calradia Empire to the Elven Realm." The leader of the elven army said enthusiastically.

DeWitt beckoned everyone to get off the camel, walked up to the leader of the elven army with Cremont, and introduced himself with a smile: "Hello, I am the captain of the reconnaissance team sent by Calradia this time-DeWitt. ”

"I'm Cremont, and I'm in charge of assisting Captain DeWitt this time."

The leader of the elven soldiers also smiled and said, "Captain DeWitt, Vice Captain Cremont." Hello, my name is Able. Captain of the Scouts sent by the Elves. I was one of the participants in the previous expedition to the volcano. ”

"The first time we met, we will be taken care of later." DeWitt kindly held out his right hand.

Cremont consciously took a step back, leaving room for the leaders on either side to greet each other.

"I will also accept your care in the future." Able calmly shook DeWitt's right hand.

"Does this lead to the main city of your country? Most of the people in our group are visiting the Elven Kingdom for the first time. Devitt asked.

Able led him forward, Cremont following behind them. Responsible for leading the rest of the soldiers.

The two parties gathered together and walked on the official road.

"Not far ahead is the gate of the main city of the Elven Kingdom." Abel explained.

The two chatted as they walked forward, and finally talked about the theme of the mission.

"I wonder when we'll leave from the harbor of the Elven Country?" DeWitt asked.

"Tomorrow morning."

"It's a real race against time." Devitt affirmed.

"The harbor is located in the western part of the main city, and the soldiers will also stay in their lodgings near the harbor." Abel elaborated.

"General Abel, how long did it take you to last go to the gnomes' new address?" DeWitt asked.

"About two months." Abel thought about it for a moment and replied, "It took almost a month to get on the boat. ”

"Need to be at sea for a month?" Devitt was surprised.

After all, this is the first time to take a boat, and I didn't expect it to take so many days.

"Yes." Abel's expression also had a hint of bitterness: "The soldiers of Calradia still need to be mentally prepared. ”

Arrive at the harbor side of the Elven Country.

Able spoke to DeWitt for the Elven King: Because it was too late, in order not to disturb the rest of the soldiers of the army. There is no need to go to the palace to greet them. When the ship sets sail tomorrow, the Elven King will come and meet him in person.

The soldiers of Calradia saw the sea for the first time.

Everyone lined up and sat on the beach, taking off their shoes and playing in the water.

The elven soldiers who lived with them did not fully understand their joy.

They all went back to their rooms to rest.

"Why don't the soldiers of the elves come together to see the sea?" A soldier sitting on the shore asked.

"People have lived by the sea since they were children, and it is estimated that looking at the sea is like looking at the sand. I'm tired of watching it. A soldier next to him responded and analyzed.

"That's right." The questioning soldier turned his head and said to the sea: "Anyway, I now think that I won't get tired of watching the sea for the rest of my life." ”

"It's time for dinner!" An elven soldier shouted at the Calradian soldier playing on the shore.

On the first floor of the accommodation is a commercial restaurant. Today, the chef of the restaurant will be in charge of the dinner.

The soldiers of Calradia hurriedly put on their coats and shoes. Rushed to the cafeteria on the first floor.

"Today, I asked the chef of this restaurant to make some dishes that suit the tastes of the soldiers of Calradia. Enjoy it tonight. Able greeted.

"Thank you for your hospitality!" The soldiers of Calradia were all in high spirits.

"Happy working together!" Able toasted everyone.

"Cheers!!"

DeWitt and Cremont nestled in the corner, smiling as they toasted each other.

After the feast, the soldiers went back to their houses to rest.
