Lord of the Oasis - Chapter 752

Austin squatted down beside Gilbert’s bed and carefully looked at his sleeping face.

Only when there was a glimmer of light in the sky outside did he walk out on his numb legs. He returned to his own tent.

The soldiers in the tent were still lying on the bed, snoring.

Austin walked back to his seat quietly, only to find that Levin had already covered himself with the blanket and was sleeping on his own bed.

“Sigh.” Austin shook his head and once again complained in his heart about how unreliable Levin was.

However, seeing that Gilbert didn’t leave, he was in a good mood.

He smiled and lay down beside Levin. His nervousness before the battle had also calmed down a lot.

There was still an hour before daybreak. He could still take a nap.

“Austin, wake up.” At seven o’clock in the morning, after washing up, Levin returned to the tent to tidy up the bedding. When he found Austin still lying on the bed, he quickly walked over and shook him awake.

“Huh?” Austin tightened the quilt on his body, opened his eyes unwillingly, and asked.

“We’re going to set off. Hurry up and get up and tidy up.” Levin said.

“Okay.” Austin slowly supported his upper body and put the cotton-padded jacket on his body.

Levin looked at his sleepy face and thought of the time he woke up this morning. This kid’s face was right in front of him, and he had a mesmerizing smile on his face. Levin couldn’t help but shiver.

“In any case, hurry up and don’t make everyone wait for you.” Levin left a reminder, then he picked up his luggage and left.

“Got it.” Austin shouted at Levin’s back.

When he was the only one left in the room, Austin pulled himself together and quickly put on his clothes. He picked up his towel and toothbrush and rushed out. He rushed all the way to the sink in the kitchen.

But when he brushed his teeth, Austin always felt that he had forgotten something. He frowned and thought, what is missing?

“Ah.” Austin choked on his mouthwash. “Gilbert!”

Why wasn’t he waiting for him outside the tent today?

Austin quickly held the water in his hands and washed his face. He hurriedly picked up his things and ran back.

When he reached the entrance of the camp, he still didn’t see Gilbert.

The surrounding soldiers had already begun to dismantle the tent’s supports. Austin hurriedly stopped them. “Wait, my things are still inside! Please wait!”

“Why are you so slow!” Levin walked over and kicked Austin. “Hurry up and take out your things.”

Austin saw that the soldiers had stopped in their tracks in order to wait for him. He immediately put his towel and mouthwash cup in Levin’s arms and ran into the tent.

In less than five minutes, Austin rushed out of the tent with his luggage on his back. He thanked the soldiers. “Thank you, thank you.”

Then, he walked to Levin’s side, panting.

“Gilbert is missing. I have to go find him.” Austin said.

“Are you still dreaming. Your ‘son’ is currently staying with Captain Devitt to discuss tactics. There’s no need for you to worry.” Levin handed the towel and mouthwash cup back to Austin and explained.

“Really?” Austin was pleasantly surprised.

“They have already left the camp for half an hour. They haven’t returned yet.” Levin glanced at the mountains in the distance and said, “It seems that the problem this time is really troublesome.”

“Why did Gilbert get up so early? ” Austin carried his luggage to the kitchen to get breakfast. When he came back, he asked Levin.

“I don’t know. I heard that he found Captain Devitt’s tent at dawn.” Levin took a piece of smoked meat and chewed it.

“Oh.” Austin was stunned for a moment before he replied.

“Everyone! Gather!”

Abel had already returned to the military camp.

The camp quickly quieted down, and the soldiers lined up neatly.

“I hope that all of us can safely walk this path today.” Abel said to everyone after giving a few simple instructions as usual.

The soldiers were not afraid because of the difficulty of the road ahead. They replied in unison, “Yes!”

“Good! Let’s go!” Abel stood at the front of the group and commanded.

The elven soldiers were also fully focused today. They lined up and followed Abel in a neat formation.

The moment they stepped into the dragon clan’s estate, Abel told all the elven soldiers to stop flying and put on water-filled sponge insoles together with Caradia soldiers.

According to Gilbert, when the insoles rubbed against the ground, they could imitate the sound of a certain creature crawling in the territory.

After advancing two hundred meters, Abel found that there were no strange creatures around, so he believed in the function of the insoles. He reported to Devitt, “We’re safe for now.”

Devitt looked back at the soldiers walking in the grass and said worriedly, “It’s just that we’ll move very slow with this on.”

“You’ll get used to it. This is the only way at the moment.” Gilbert interrupted from the side. “Unless you have a more reliable method.”

Devitt looked at the sky and pondered for a while, then asked, “Why don’t we let the elven soldiers fly with the Caradia soldiers? I mean, fly at a high altitude.”

Hearing this suggestion, Abel frowned, he replied, “Each Caradia soldier, together with the weight of their luggage, weighs nearly 300 pounds. If the elven soldiers under them want to carry this weight, it will be a little difficult for them to fly at a high altitude.”

“Also,” after Abel finished speaking, Gilbert added, “The dragon clan’s estate has a high-altitude barrier. It is impossible for the elves to fly out of the audio-visual range of the ‘pseudo dragons’.”

After listening to these two people, Devitt fell into deep thought.

The soldiers could only carefully move forward in the grass until the sun set.

They found a place that could shelter them from the wind and rain, and then they settled down.

Claremont held the binoculars and looked at the road they came from. He shook his head and said, “Today, we’ve only traveled less than one-fifth of the way.”

“There’s no other way. It’s safest to proceed according to Gilbert’s method. Today has proven that what he said is right.” Devitt replied.

“Is there really no other way? If we continue like this, it will be almost the same as choosing a detour.” Claremont said anxiously.

Just as the two of them were distracted, a soldier ran over with a face full of joy and reported, “Captain Devitt, Captain Claremont, we have found the hot spring!”
