"Welcome, welcome, warm welcome."

Looking in the direction of Clemmont's finger, DeWitt saw several tattered elves pulling banners and jumping up and down to shout enthusiastically.

DeWitt hesitantly summoned Captain Able and asked, "Captain Able, were the elves standing there sent by the site to pick us up?" ”

"Huh?" Albert's eyes seemed to be a little shaken by the sight of several people's clothes.

The three of them frowned and walked in front of the elven welcome team.

"Raphael?" As the distance closer, Able finally recognized the faces of the people he knew, and exclaimed.

The elf, known as Raphael, turned to meet Able's gaze. Grinned in surprise: "Abel! This elf team is led by you?! ”

After confirming his identity, in the face of Raphael's surprised expression, Abel was full of doubts, not knowing where to start.

DeWitt and Cremont on the side were also silent.

Although the elves are lazy, they are generally very concerned about their appearance.

At least Devitt and Cremont had never seen such ragged, dark-faced elves in front of them in the main elven city.

"What's wrong with you?" Abel eventually asked.

"We'll talk about that when we get back to the site's quarters." Raphael responded.

Able nodded in understanding.

"Hello, my name is Raphael. It is the lead representative of the station that will be in charge of receiving you this time. Raphael made a formal introduction to DeWitt and Cremont.

"Hello, I'm the captain of the Karadia soldiers this time, DeWitt."

"Hello, I'm DeWitt's assistant - Cremont."

"Nice to meet you. Prepare to take the soldiers up the mountain with me. It's not early. Rafael said.

"Okay." When DeWitt agreed, he walked up to Raphael with his entire squad of soldiers.

The group left the harbor and headed for the nearest hill.

The marching party followed the elves who led the way, and climbed the mountain for about an hour.

Abel grabbed a branch and climbed up, "Is there no way to walk on this mountain?" That's all we can climb? ”

"There is a way." Raphael replied. He seems to have walked this path already familiar, and is not out of breath like the others.

"Then why don't you walk?" Devitt finally found a place to lean on, and asked with a sigh.

"The road is in the front mountain, and it is the territory of the tree people. I can't go. Raphael explained.

"I've never heard of occupying territory and dividing mountain roads." Cremont gasped.

"On this island, that's how it is. A road, a drop of water, a fruit. It's all labeled with which company it belongs to. Raphael sighed.

"It's horrible." Devit couldn't help but say.

"Not only that, but the forces on the island will also fight each other for each other's resources." Raphael continued, "The outpost we built at the foot of the mountain was also occupied by the orc legions. ”

"I didn't expect the island to be in such a bad form." Cremont said.

"Is there any hope of getting the captured outposts back?" Abel asked.

"No way, the orcs have hundreds of people entrenched on the island. We are no match for them. Raphael shook his head and continued on his way, "Fortunately, our dwelling in the mountains has not yet been discovered. There is no need to worry about food and so on. It's not too bad now, as long as you finish your mission, the forces here won't do anything to us. ”

Able sighed and said nothing, but followed closely behind Raphael.

After an hour, the group finally reached their quarters on the mountainside.

"I didn't expect this place to be quite big." DeWitt sighed as he looked at the wooden building in front of him.

"This building is designed to accommodate the number of people on duty. The craftsmen of the country received a lot of inspiration from the dwarf craftsmen and quickly built the building. One of the site elves walked up to DeWitt and introduced.

"Excuse me, you'll be here for the night." Raphael called.

All the soldiers followed them into the building.

The hall is not very furnished, and it is too empty for its vast footprint.

The soldiers helped the site elves carry a long table out of the utility room.

"Today, let's have dinner in the hall." Said the soldier at the site.

"Let's go upstairs and have a look. After dinner, each room will be assigned. DeWitt commanded.

The soldiers took their bags and walked upstairs.

The room was cleaned fairly neatly.

It's just that the part of the windowsill that was wet with rain and the planks was moldy.

One of the soldiers sat on the bed, stretched, and said, "I think this place is pretty good." It's much easier than when you're camping in the wilderness. I don't know why that Raphael felt like he owed us something to us. ”

"I guess I was bruised by other forces on the island. The outpost was also taken away. I feel guilty or something. The soldier sitting across from him thought for a moment and replied.

"Of course. The one who can be appointed as the site leader is also a high-ranking officer in charge of disciplining hundreds of people in the army. Come to this island without knowing anything...", a soldier with his back against the wall spoke.

Dinner time.

The staff at the site made a whole table of hearty dishes.

The soldiers seated at the table were all staring at the dishes in front of them with joy.

The on-site personnel were also in high spirits: they had eaten dry food every meal before the scout team arrived.

The reason is that water is needed for cooking, and there is no place in the mountains where there is enough fresh water.

Even though the elves have a water need ten times less than humans. But I still can't squeeze the excess water out of my teeth.

This meal used up one-fifth of the water stored by the elves in the site.

It won't be long before the day comes when we have to worry about the water problem.

However, looking at the long-lost delicacies in front of you, no one will not leave the troubles in front of you.

"To all of the Scouts." Raphael raised his glass.

"Cheers!!"

The soldiers drank the aged wine from their glasses in high spirits.

"Generals, this cup is for you. I hope you have good news from the place where you are on duty. Raphael walked over to the table of Abel and the others, raised his glass and said.

"Thank you, Raphael." Abel was the first to respond.

"We're going to get the job done and get out of here with you." Devitt said firmly.
