Chapter 700: The Scouts Set Off In the Morning

The next morning, everyone gathered in front of the hostel and prepared to set off for the harbor.

“Captain Devitt, are all your people here?” Abel stood at one end of the line and shouted at Devitt who was standing at the other end.

“They’re all here.” Devitt shouted in response.

“Then let’s set off.” Abel stretched out his right hand and made a forward gesture in the air.

Fifty soldiers set off from the entrance of the tavern, with the elven soldiers leading the way. Claremont led the Caradia soldiers behind him.

“This is going to be troublesome.” a soldier who was walking in the crowd complained.

“What’s wrong?” the soldier who was walking beside him replied, “Nothing has happened yet.”

“My stomach doesn’t feel so good when I think that we’re going to sail on the sea for nearly a month.” the soldier explained. The expression on his face was also very gloomy.

“It’s not that serious. If you’re like this, then what should a soldier like Austin do? He even threw up from riding a carriage.” the soldier who responded said with a frown.

“He’s definitely vomit and pass out on the ship too.” the soldier said as he glanced at the line behind him.

“Austin, are you alright?” Devitt, who was walking at the end of the line, walked to Austin’s side and asked with concern.

“Captain Devitt.” Austin was slightly surprised. “It shouldn’t be a problem, right?”

“If you feel uncomfortable, you must tell me or tell Claremont.” Devitt instructed.

“Yes, thank you, captain.” Austin replied.

At this moment, a soldier trotted to Devitt’s side and said to him, “Captain Devitt, we are about to reach the entrance of the harbor. Captain Abel asked me to inform you and tell you that he wants to discuss something with you.”

“Okay, got it.” Devitt nodded, then turned to Austin and said, “Austin, I’ll go to the front to take a look. I’ll leave the task of pressing the team to you.”

“Yes… yes… Captain Devitt.” Austin replied.

“Is the entrance to the harbor ahead? Captain Abel.” Devitt followed the soldiers to the front of the team and met Abel.

“Yes. It’s still a few minutes away.” Abel replied briefly. “General Devitt, I asked you to come because Elf King told me to remind you to send a letter to His Highness Lord Kant.”

“Oh, right. I really should have reported the situation to His Highness earlier.” Devitt said in realization.

“Yes. The letter you left behind will be delivered by a messenger sent by the Elf King.” Abel explained further.

“Thank You, His Highness the Elf King, and General Abel.” Devitt said gratefully.

After Abel’s reminder, Devitt had been thinking how he should write this report letter.

The traveling soldiers arrived at the harbor built by the dwarfs. Everyone stood in front of this exquisite harbor, which had a completely different style from the other buildings around it. They couldn’t help but admired the harbor.

However, the sails were about to set sail, so there was no extra time for everyone to visit.

The Elf King was dressed in a brocade robe. He stood on the shore with a group of attendants, waiting for the arrival of the soldiers. He wanted to send them off.

“Your Highness.” standing at the front of the group, the three captains who were in charge of leading the group bowed one after another.

Although the soldiers behind him were slower by a beat, they all bowed to the ground.

“Okay. Good.” the Elf King helped the three leaders up.

“Your ship is about to leave. Hurry up. I’ll stand by the shore and send you off.” The Elf King said softly.

“Your Highness, we will definitely complete the mission and return safely.” Devitt said sincerely.

“Yes.” the Elf King nodded. “I believe in you.”

Without further words, the Elf King watched as the fifty-man team boarded the ship.

The sea breeze blew the brocade robe until it was bloated, but the Elf King still did not move.

“Your Highness, the humidity by the sea is too high. Let’s go back to the palace.” a guard at the side advised.

“Let me wait until their ship sails out of the bay.” the Elf King replied.

“Everyone’s cabin has life jackets and medical boxes…”

As soon as they boarded the ship, the soldiers heard the workers on the ship shouting through the loudspeakers.

Claremont stood at the boarding gate and counted the number of people.

After the last person also waited to board the ship, the ship began to move slowly.

Claremont organized the soldiers to stand in a row on the deck.

Devitt ran over from the other end of the deck and shared with Claremont, “General Abel gave me medicine to prevent the soldiers from getting seasick.”

“The elf clan can actually make such a thing?” Claremont said in surprise.

“I heard that during the last expedition, they were tortured too badly on the ship. They learned a lesson from it.” Devitt explained.

“But this is a medicine for the elves, right? Can we human soldiers use it?” Claremont asked hesitantly.

“Yes, the anti-sickness medicine that General Abel gave me is specially made for the human body this time.” Devitt introduced. “However, this medicine can only temporarily relieve the discomfort.”

“Mm. It should be enough for people with weaker constitutions, right?” Claremont nodded and asked.

Without hesitation, Claremont introduced the anti-sickness medicine to the soldiers under him. He let those who needed it to receive it from Devitt.

“I wonder if the Lord Kant knows that we have already set sail from the Elf Kingdom.” After finishing everything, Claremont sat down on a chair in the activity room and poured a glass of water for himself and Devitt.

“We should be the ones reporting.” Devitt took the glass and said, “I almost forgot about this today. Fortunately, General Abel reminded me.”

“Captain Devitt, you have been writing letters before you boarded the ship, right? No wonder I couldn’t find you.” Claremont thought for a moment and said.

“Yes, the time is too tight.” Devitt said embarrassedly, “I’m really sorry to leave all the work to you.”

“It’s okay. Writing a reply to Lord Kant is much more important than settling the soldiers.” Claremont said indifferently.

Devitt pursed his lips and didn’t say anything else.

The two of them were silent for a while. Devitt looked at the ripples in the water cup on the table and said, “Has the boat sailed?”

“It should be.” Claremont ran to the small window and looked at the moving scenery outside the window.

“It’s my first time on a boat. I’m really a little uneasy.” Devitt said as he drank water.

“Me too.”
