After spending the night in Cumberland, the Elven Nation troops are about to leave for the Elven Nation's main city.

Bandak and Derrick are also in the queue, and as the commanders of the main reinforcements, they also need to report the results of this battle to the Elven King in person.

And as for what to do with the lizardmen and gnolls next, they also need to know what to do next.

Three days later, the elven troops arrived at the main city where the elves had passed.

Before Gabr could return to the barracks, he was summoned by the Elven King and took Bandak and Deric into the palace.

"It's really hard for you." After receiving the greetings from the three of them, the Elf King comforted.

"The plan to suppress the enemy went smoothly this time, and I didn't feel hard." Daerik replied reassuringly.

Hearing this, the Elven King smiled and said, "This great victory is a first-class good thing for both the Elven Kingdom and Deherim. As for the outcome of this battle, I have sent a message to Lord Kant. ”

"The Elven Kingdom is far away from Dehrim, I don't know when I will receive a reply from the lord?" Bandak asked.

The Elven King thought for a moment and replied, "In about three days, we will receive a reply from Dehrim. I mentally mentioned the expedition to the lizardmen and gnolls, and I don't know how Lord Kant will reply. Until then, I can only trouble you to stay in this elven country for the time being. ”

After a moment of thought, Bandakh replied, "Well, then we will wait for the lord's reply in the main city. I hope that His Highness will summon us in time when he receives a reply. ”

"Of course."

The three of Bandak stepped out of the gates of the palace.

"Commander Bandak and Commander Derik, what are you going to do next?" Gabr asked.

Bandak replied, "I should find an inn near here." Anyway, in three days, Dehrem will send a letter. ”

Derrick nodded, agreeing with Bandak's thoughts.

Gabriel said apologetically, "Since the two commanders have their own plans, then I don't have to worry about you. Besides, the mansion near my barracks is really shabby, and I am afraid that it is not good to entertain the two of you. ”

"Thank you for your kindness, and if you live near this palace, you can know the news one step earlier. That's what we're looking forward to the most at the moment. Derick said.

"Hmm." Gabul pondered, and then said, "I don't know what kind of instructions Lord Kant will send. So, I'll take my leave and see you in three days. ”

"See you in three days."

Bhandak and Darek booked a room at the inn closest to the palace.

Go out for a walk every day, and rest early in the evening after chatting. It can be described as very relaxing.

On the morning of the third day, Darik sat at the table in his room and made tea. Neither of them planned to go out today, and sat in their rooms wholeheartedly waiting for news from the palace.

Bandak boozed a whole cup of tea. Said to Darek: "I didn't expect to have no military tasks with me, but I didn't adapt to it very much. ”

"Bandak has led you not to rest much throughout the year, and you have been out fighting wars or handling government affairs for the lord in the main city." Dyric said with a smile.

"But I don't think you think much of going out to play, and the pressure to become the new commander is also very high." Bandak also joked back.

"I'm not the same as Commander Bandak, I would be busy when I was an officer." Darek gave Bandak a sly look, and then took a sip of tea in peace.

Bandak chuckled softly and said nothing.

In the past three days, the two have also talked about each other's experiences. The relationship has gradually become familiar, and it is no longer as unfamiliar and isolated as before.

Not long after the two of them quieted down, an inquiring voice came from outside the door: "Is it the room of Commander Bandak and Commander Derik?" ”

Bandak hurriedly got up to look at the door, and saw an elven man dressed as a guard standing outside the door.

After saluting, the elven guard said to the two, "His Royal Highness the Elven King asked me to summon the two of you into the palace, saying that Dehrim has sent a reply. ”

Dyric and Bandak nodded in unison and said, "Then please lead the way." ”

Walking outside the main hall of the palace, Bandak met Gabri in military uniform at the door. It turned out that the elf king advertised that the three of them would enter the palace together.

After greeting each other, they walked into the main hall one after another.

"Your Highness the Elven King, I heard that you have received a reply from your lord." Bandak stepped forward to the Elven King and asked.

"Hmm." The Elven King took out a piece of paper from his bosom and said, "You and Commander Daric can take a look at it." On this, there are some instructions issued to you. ”

After a quick reading, Bandak handed the letter to Derrick, then turned and asked, "Shall we leave for Cumberland at once?" ”

The letter states that Dehrim's forces will travel to the territory of the Lizardmen and Gnolls along with the Elven Nation.

"Well, though, I want Gabr to go with you on the march." The Elven King said.

"The march has been prepared in accordance with His Highness's instructions." Gabr reported.

"I'm ready, I don't know how the lizardmen and gnolls will react to the troops left behind to defend the city. However, the main purpose of this trip is to search for the results of the battle, and I hope you can return safely. The Elven King finally instructed.

The three of them calmly responded: "Yes! ”

Leaving the palace, Bandak and Derick boarded the carriage they had prepared for them and headed for Cumberland with the assembled elven soldiers.

After receiving the message from the main city, the soldiers of Cumberland also began to prepare in earnest.

Training is a must.

The residents of Cumberland provided them with a large field to use as a training ground, and the officers who led the team would lead their troops to meet their daily training targets.

As Kant said in his letter, this supply was provided by the local people of Cumberland. Being able to take out the rations of 10,000 soldiers on the way to the territory of the lizardmen and gnolls in a short period of time as required shows that Cumberland's development in just half a year is amazing enough.

Kant also learned this fact from the financial books that were uploaded every month.

By the time Bandak and the others arrived in Cumberland, all the soldiers were ready.

Early in the morning of the fourth day, nearly 20,000 soldiers set out from Cumberland for the territory of the lizardmen and jackals.

The territory of the lizardmen and gnolls is not far from the realm of the elves.

The three countries are located next to a coast and can be reached by walking straight along the coast.

However, this journey still takes about four or five days.

Marched during the day and encamped at night.

The soldiers were moving at full speed toward their destination.
