Chapter 689: Inspection at the Military Camp

Drondheim’s coal resources were constantly transported to Drondheim. They were processed by the state-run factory on the outskirts of Drondheim.

Of course, this was under the conditions of maintaining the amount of coal stored in the Drondheim coal factory.

After being processed by the factory, the refined coal was sent to the military camp and other places, displaying its outstanding quality.

In Durandal’s letter, Derrick mentioned the cooperation intentions of the Elf Kingdom’s organization to the Durandal coal factory.

This really surprised Kant a little. He didn’t expect Elf Kingdom to propose such cooperation first.

However, he still needed to carefully consider it before deciding to cooperate.

After all, this might affect the international relations between the two countries.

Kant was quite troubled by this matter.

One evening, after dealing with today’s documents.

Kant decided to go to the military camp during this free time.

Adonis’ army had finished their vacation and returned to the ranks. He didn’t know what the status of the training was.

With this thought, Kant took his guards and went to the training ground of the military camp without informing anyone beforehand.

The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the flagstone road of the palace. Kant, who was sitting in the carriage, could not help but open the curtains and look at the afterglow of the setting sun.

“Could they be resting?” Kant asked the guard who acted as the drayman.

“It shouldn’t be. It’s still quite early to the end of the training at this time.” the guard replied.

These guards were all elites who had come out of the army. They had a very clear understanding of the life of the army.

Kant nodded when he heard this.

After arriving at the military camp, Kant got off the carriage and walked to the training ground.

No one was allowed to ride a horse instead of walking in the military camp. Therefore, Kant followed the rules of the army in a low-key manner even if it was not necessary.

He just walked to the front of the training ground. Kant heard the shouts of the people in the training ground.

“Lord.” When Kant led a group of guards into the training ground, Adonis had already noticed them. He walked across half of the training ground and came forward to greet them.

“Hmm. How is the training of your soldiers? I heard that this training mode was only introduced in the army after you went to Durandal.” Kant asked Adonis.

“Yes. The soldiers had just started training in this mode. Everyone felt that it was quite novel. However, the plan that Commander Bunduk and the other officers discussed is indeed very good. Most of the soldiers are already familiar with it,” Adonis replied.

“Yes, it looks really good.” Kant said as he glanced at the soldiers in formation in the distance.

“Lord.” Without knowing when, Bunduk had already walked to Kant’s side. At this moment, he spoke and bowed.

“Commander Bunduk, I asked you to compile a list of the soldiers who went to Durandal the day before yesterday. You haven’t given it to me yet.” Kant reminded him after he noticed Bunduk.

“I’m sorry, Lord. I’ll definitely give you the list by tomorrow.” Bunduk said with some difficulty.

“It’s hard to gather the opinions of the soldiers, right?” Kant continued.

“The soldiers did indeed say some of their own opinions. But the situations of their families are different. It took some time to understand them all.” Bunduk replied hesitantly.

“Mm. Then you can hand them over to me after you’ve sorted them out. There’s no need to worry about time.” Kant replied after thinking for a while.

“Thank you, Lord.” Bunduk heaved a sigh of relief in his heart.

Under the leadership of Bunduk and Adonis, Kant inspected every soldier in every formation. After the inspection ended, it was unknowingly time for the afternoon training to be dismissed.

Before Bunduk went on stage, he asked Kant if he wanted to say a few words to the soldiers in the army. Kant shook his head and rejected the suggestion.

“Lord, it’s already dinner time. Are you going back to the palace?” After the soldiers dispersed, Bunduk walked off the stage and asked Kant.

“Yes, it’s time for dinner.” Kant said, “Then the three of us can eat together.”

After saying that, he pointed at Adonis beside him.

“This should be the first time I’m eating with you, right?” Kant asked Adonis.

Adonis was a little surprised by Kant’s suggestion. He could only nod at Kant’s question.

“So, are we going to…?” Bunduk hesitated and asked with a difficult expression.

“Eat with the soldiers, just like you usually do.” Kant replied.

Kant dismissed the guards around him and asked them to find their comrades in the army to reminisce.

On the empty training ground, only Kant, Bunduk, and Adonis were left.

“Where is the military camp’s dining hall?” Kant asked. His gaze turned to Bunduk.

After meeting Kant’s eyes, Bunduk walked in front of Kant in fear and trepidation and said, “Lord, let me lead the way.”

“Alright.”

The decoration of the dining hall in the military camp was still not bad. Kant walked in and nodded in satisfaction.

The soldiers lined up in front of the windows of the various dishes. There were also quite a number of people who had rushed to the front who had already sat in their seats and started eating.

The room was filled with the sounds of soldiers talking and the collision of knives, forks, and dishes.

Bunduk led the other two to an empty seat in the corner and sat down.

“Lord, please wait a moment.” said Bunduk. After saying that, he gave Adonis a look and then walked to the kitchen.

Kant nodded as a response and quietly waited in his own seat.

Adonis was asked by Bunduk to stay by Kant’s side, and he was a little uneasy at this strange situation.

Kant looked around the entire dining hall, pointed to a long line in a corner on the right, and asked, “What are those soldiers queuing up for?”

Adonis followed Kant’s hand and looked up. After seeing the situation clearly, he replied, “That’s where the beer is held. It’s quite popular among the soldiers, right?”

“Beer?” Kant asked.

“Yes. Beer brewed from fresh wheat shipped from Cumberland. It was only provided in the barracks a few months ago.” Adonis explained.

“It sounds pretty good. Can you help me get a cup?” Kant asked.

“Of course.” Adonis listened to Kant’s words and immediately stood up to follow the long line.

Kant’s body seemed to be shrouded in a powerful aura. Even during his free time during meals, it still persisted.

Adonis walked behind the line of soldiers and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
