"He's really interested in Durandle." Kant said, "It's just that it doesn't look like what a grand commander should be." ”

When Bandak heard Kant's comment, his whole body suddenly tensed. Nervously explained, "Darik's personality is the type who will take responsibility for the tasks given to him wholeheartedly. That's good, right? ”

Kant smiled and asked, "This time he came back from Durandell's vacation, did the two of you talk privately?" How did he get along with Adunis? ”

"We've talked." Bandak nodded and replied, "I didn't hear much about Yadonis, just that the work on Durandel's side was going well." ”

In the days when Durandal came back from vacation, Bundakert took two days off to accompany him to visit Decherim, eat and chat at the tavern.

"Guessed. Derick is still relatively quiet in front of people. Kant said.

"Well, not really. It's the more easy-going one. Bandak thought for a moment and hesitated.

Desperately trying to preserve Derick's image in Kant's mind.

"Among the scouts sent to the island this time, the soldier who was in charge of helping Devit manage the soldiers was Darik's old unit. When they heard that the group was passing by Durandel, Derick talked to them a lot. Kant said.

"G.. Gram.. Thunder... Monte? I can remember his name. He and Darik do have a good relationship. Bandak replied, "This man is a bit similar in temperament to Darek, except that he is younger, and when he is in the barracks, he often accepts the care of others, and he seems more childish." I don't know what kind of exercise will be made of this trip. ”

"Darek and you have a good opinion of him," Kant nodded and said, "When the Scout army returns, let me see how this soldier is doing." ”

Bandak sensed a hint of a bad atmosphere, and said hesitantly: "Your Highness Kant, do you want to..."

"If there are really good people in the army who have been left behind, they should be promoted and given confidence." Kant stated his intentions.

Bandak's eyes widened, and he hurriedly resigned and retreated from the temple.

Kant looked at his departing back and sighed: he admitted that Derick was indeed a smart man, that his relationship with those around him was always harmonious, and that he could get satisfactory feedback for anything he was given, but when one day this tepid attitude became a threshold in front of him, he had to find a way to break it.

Derrick is a person who can make a difference even if he works alone, and the key point that Kant is currently concerned about is whether Derrick can break the thick walls of his heart and lead everyone forward in the position of leader. If he can't, then it proves that he is not suitable for the position he is in now. Kant should have removed Derrick in time and replaced him with a new role.

And Bandak is what Kant believes in his heart, the button that reverses the pattern of Derik's life.

When Bandak returned to the barracks, he immediately wrote a letter to Durandell about what he had heard today, as well as what he thought in his heart.

"Lord Kant must not be allowed to replace Derik." Bandak muttered to himself.

"Huh? Did it snow last night? ”

Early in the morning, a scout soldier walked up to the fence of the camp and asked, looking at the frost that had formed on the stake.

"How is it possible, it's only the end of November." One soldier yawned and said, "But it's cold, I'll have to put a thicker coat in the tent." ”

It has been three days since the reconnaissance team ascended to the forest where the target was located.

The mountain is even more difficult to climb than you think, and it covers an extremely large area.

The warriors had become accustomed to the taste of sleeping in the woods.

It's just that as the altitude of the mountain road increases, the temperature also decreases a lot.

"Do centaurs live on such heights?" A soldier said as he hid in the grass and drank the broth left over from yesterday, looking up at the mountains.

"Luckily, it was almost there, and the first food of the day was the leftover food from the night before. It's too sad. One soldier wailed.

"Assemble!"

Abel's cry called the two men crouching in the grass back to the center of the camp.

"Guys, we're almost to the Centaur Marketplace. In order to arrive as soon as possible, please follow me now. Abel said with joy on his face.

After several days of busyness, this moment has finally arrived.

The ground was a little slippery from the frost, and everyone climbed cautiously on the mountain path.

"Look! Here! ”

A soldier pointed to the ground and shouted at the people around him.

The soldiers around him looked in the direction he was pointing, and there was a depression in the dirt that the horses' hooves had stepped on.

"There really are centaurs here." The soldiers exclaimed.

After several hours of climbing on the narrow mountain road, the vision of the soldiers walking in the front row suddenly widened.

"It seems that the area of this mountain is indeed extraordinary, and there is such a vast flat land." Cremont said in amazement.

After carefully comparing the vegetation above the flat ground with the trees seen below, DeWitt decided, "This should be the place we've been looking for." ”

"But there's nothing but the lawn." Cremont said, looking around.

Able looked to the other side of the plain, and after finding no buildings, he felt a strange feeling in his heart.

"Keep going." Abel commanded.

The soldiers moved slowly on the flat ground.

"Dada-da-da!" The sound of horses' hooves trampling the grass.

Devit looked around and saw several armored Centaur warriors hiding behind the trees.

"Stop!" DeWitt commanded.

Everyone was shocked, and after looking around, some sharp-eyed people discovered the existence of centaur warriors and informed each other.

DeWitt stepped out of the ranks of the soldiers, unloaded his armor and weapons, and placed them on the grass. He said loudly to the centaur soldiers hiding in the shadows, "We just heard about the existence of Claude Market, and came to collect and trade. There is no intention of invading Centaur territory without permission. ”

After DeWitt's words fell, the scene was quiet for a long time.

A centaur soldier stepped through the grass and walked in front of DeWitt.

This was the first time Devit had seen a centaur tribe, whose muscles were as strong as those depicted in the epic portraits. The limbs of the lower body look like they're also very tense, as if they can mash the ground.
