Chapter 797: sailors who wish to leave the city

The next morning, Kant gathered Abel and Bunduk together. The three of them began to discuss their plans for the operation two days later.

“Shadow Stalker and Raphael agreed on a time at one o’clock in the morning,”Abel said.

“If we want to catch shadow stalker at night…”a difficult expression appeared on Abel’s face. He said, “With our strength alone, I’m afraid it’s still a little difficult.”

“I’ve already sent a soldier to the dwarf guild in the town,”Kant replied. “I hope that we can find some methods from the information provided by the dwarf.”

“Why don’t we directly seek the help of the hunters in the Dwarf Guild?”Abel asked in puzzlement.

“I wanted to do the same before, but after I inquired about the process of issuing missions to the hunters. Kant replied, “Moreover, the guild members take too long to review the missions. We can’t wait that long.”

“I see.”Abel nodded.

“The soldier will only be able to withdraw from the city in the evening. Let’s discuss and see how the personnel should be deployed at that time,”Kant suggested.

“Yes.”Bunduk nodded in response. “In order to not raise any suspicions, the soldier on duty that night will continue to patrol as usual. “After Raphael gave us the signal, I led my Caradia soldier to seal off the entrance to the entire military barrack.”

“Leave the aerial inspection to us,”Abel continued. “That evening, I will leave the camp ahead of time with a few soldiers and observe shadow’s movements from a distance.”

“The Shadow Stalker’s movements in the military barrack are strange and unpredictable,”Kant warned. “If you want to set up precautions ahead of time, you must be careful.”

“Yes!”Abel replied.

“When the time comes, I will bring the guards accompanying me to meet up with Bunduk,”Kant said. “Use the tricks the dwarf taught us to subdue him.”

“Your Majesty, you…”Bunduk and Abel looked at each other and said worriedly, “In order to ensure that we will not be attacked, it is better to stay in the camp and wait for the result.”

“No.”Kant shook his head, he replied, “I should still be the one to give the order to act. When the time comes, if I learn any important information from the conversation between Raphael and Shadow Rat, I will also need to make the decision to change the action plan.”

Abel and Bunduk saw that Kant was still insisting on his opinion, so they compromised on this issue.

The Morning Operation Meeting ended.

Kant heard the elven soldier running in unison outside the camp. He looked at Abel strangely and asked, “I remember that the Elven soldier’s physical training time was not so early, right?”

Bunduk walked to the entrance of the tent and glanced at it. He turned to Kant and said, “It looks like the group that left the restaurant last night.”

“They did not behave like a soldier last night,”Abel explained. “As punishment, I ordered all of them to run twenty laps around the military barrack this morning.”

“Twenty laps?”Bunduk said in surprise, “For the elven soldier who is usually absent in physical training, running this way is really tiring.”

“Yes, occasional punishment is also necessary.”Kant nodded. It was obvious that he did not agree with the style of this group of Elven soldier.

Abel lowered his head towards Kant and did not say anything.

The CARADIA soldier who had entered the city rushed back before dinner and brought the information of the Dwarf Guild.

“This time’s action is really fast.”Abel held a stack of the guild’s specially made ma.n.u.scripts, “The last time Devitt and Claremont went to the guild to look for information, the dwarf guild sent someone to send the information over the next morning.”

“Maybe it’s because the route they took this time didn’t go through the hunter himself,”Kant explained. “This information was found by our soldier in the Dwarf Guild’s database.”

“It can be done like this?”Abel said in surprise.

“Yes. But after borrowing and reading this information, we need to return it to the database,”Kant replied. “And the deposit is also astonis.h.i.+ngly high.”

“I see.”Abel nodded.

Kant and Bunduk took a portion of the information from Abel’s hands. They divided the work and read it, discussing it in low voices from time to time.

“It seems that we have to use the magic of the Elves to deal with the Shadow Demon,”Kant said after reading all the information and taking a sip of tea.

“But the light magic mentioned in the ancient books doesn’t exist in the current elves,”Abel said with a frown.

“It doesn’t have to be light magic. Maybe the fire elf can achieve the same effect,”Bunduk suggested.

“Okay.”Kant took out a piece of paper and said, “Since the ancients have left behind a formation to restrain the shadow spider, Let’s test the power of this formation.”

“Alright then.”Abel took the piece of paper and studied it carefully. Then, he said, “I will think of a way to modify this formation so that it can restrain the shadow spider in Our Hands.”

“Thank you for your hard work,”Bunduk looked at Abel and said.

“It’s fine.”Abel smiled gently and said, “The formation is still a relatively difficult field for me. “I have to bring the blueprint back and discuss it with my other comrades. “The remaining time is quite tight, so I’ll take my leave first.”

“Okay.”Kant nodded and got up to send Abel away.

Then, he sat back in his original seat and began discussing with Bunduk the battle plan for Tomorrow Night.

It wasn’t until dinner time that the two of them walked out of the tent in the center of the camp and headed towards the dining hall.

An Elven soldier stopped in front of Kant and saluted, “His Majesty Kant, Commander Bunduk.”

“What is it? What’s the matter?”Kant gestured for him to stand up and asked.

“The sailors in the city are preparing to leave the city tomorrow,”the soldier reported.

“Do you know where they are going?”Kant frowned and asked.

“From their conversation, it seems that they are going to the vicinity of the volcano,”the soldier said. “They said that they want to leave the city with the dwarf’s trade caravan.”

“Why did they run so far away?”Bunduk was puzzled.

“These crew members have long been notorious by the sh.o.r.e of the island,”explained the soldier. “They probably want to go to the foot of the volcano. No one knows their small town to find a living.”

“I see.”Bunduk nodded.

“Think of a way to keep them. Use money to get rid of the dwarf merchants who want to take them out of the city,”commanded Kant.

“Yes,”the soldier replied.

“We don’t have any information about the situation at the foot of the volcano,”Kant said to Bunduk. “We can’t let these crew members escape there.”

Chapter 798: Laborious Formation

“Yes!”The soldier replied after receiving Kant’s order.

“Have you reported this to Abel?”Bunduk asked.

“I have reported it to Captain Abel.”The soldier nodded. “However, captain and the other soldiers seem to be very busy, so he asked me to inform his majesty and the Commander.”

“Yes, Abel and the others are currently busy preparing for tomorrow’s operation,”Kant said. “It’s better not to disturb him for the time being.”

“I understand,”the soldier bowed and replied politely.

“It’s been hard on you. Go back and rest,”Kant said to the soldier who had been busy for the whole day.

After thanking him, the soldier turned and left.

“It seems that since the crew went ash.o.r.e, the dark forces have not sent anyone to look for them,”Bunduk said to Kant as he walked to the restaurant.

“In the eyes of the dark forces, the sinking of the s.h.i.+p is just a small interlude that has been arranged.”Kant shook his head, he replied, “They don’t know these crew members either. However, if these crew members go to the foot of the volcano, they will come into contact with the dark forces sooner or later.”

“I see.”Bunduk nodded.

The two of them walked into the dining hall in the military barrack and sat down in a familiar corner. As soon as they sat down, they saw Raphael appear at the entrance of the dining hall alone.

“Raphael,”Bunduk stood up and called out.

“HMM? Commander Bunduk, His Majesty Kant.”Raphael was stunned for a moment before he replied, “What about… Abel?”

“You came to look for him?”Bunduk motioned for Raphael to sit down and said, “He’s still busy right now. I reckon that we’ll have to find someone to deliver tonight’s dinner to them.”

Raphael hesitated for a moment before he sat down beside Kant. He looked at Bunduk and asked in surprise, “Them?”

“Didn’t you notice that there are fewer people in the restaurant today?”Bunduk said with a smile, “Abel is leading his men to plan the Magic Circle that will be set up tomorrow in order to catch Shadow Crows.”

“Hehe, after all, this is my second time coming to the restaurant today…”Raphael smiled apologetically.

“Ah…”Bunduk recalled what happened in the restaurant yesterday. Because of his slip of the tongue, his expression became awkward.

“A magic circle? I’ve never heard of such a thing from Abel before,”Raphael said as he shook his head nonchalantly.

“He didn’t create it himself. We found the blueprint of the Magic Circle that can restrain the shadow spider from the Dwarf Guild’s database,”Kant explained.

“After dinner, let’s go together and see how their plan is going,”Bunduk suggested.

“Mm.”Raphael nodded. “I’m still quite curious about what kind of Magic Circle Abel will lead his men to create.”

Kant nodded in agreement with Bunduk. His dinner had already been served by the waiter in the kitchen. He was eating quietly at the moment.

After a while, Bunduk and Raphael’s meals were served.

During the meal, Bunduk looked up at Raphael’s eating style, he smiled and said, “By the way, Raphael, how is your recovery? You looked sick a few days ago. Now, your appet.i.te seems much better.”

“My body is quite good.”Raphael wiped his mouth with a napkin and replied, “Previously, I felt very absent-minded and often had insomnia. I think it’s probably because of mind power.”

“It’s good that you’ve recovered.”Bunduk nodded.

Kant paused in the act of eating and glanced at Raphael, but he did not say anything.

Tonight’s dinner took about an hour.

After sitting in their original seats and chatting with each other for a while, Kant brought Bunduk and Raphael to Abel’s tent.

There were more than ten elven mages standing in the rather large tent. Apart from the soldier on sentry duty, all the Elven mages were present.

When everyone noticed Kant opening the curtain and walking in, they all knelt down on one knee and bowed. “King Kant! Commander Bunduk.”

Raphael was the last one to walk. He was completely covered by Bunduk’s tall figure. No one noticed that he was also there.

“Abel, how’s the progress of the Magic Circle?”Kant walked in front of Abel and asked softly.

“We have found a new way to solve the problem of the lack of light elements.”Abel’s eyebrows were raised in joy. “The Magic Circle should be completed by tomorrow morning.”

“Yes, thank you for your hard work.”Kant’s eyes were full of trust as he nodded at Abel.

“It’s all thanks to everyone working together to come up with a solution to solve the problem of the mana source,”Abel said with a smile as he cast his gaze towards the other soldier in the camp.

Some of the elven soldier lowered their heads in embarra.s.sment.

“What do you plan to do?”Raphael asked curiously.

After seeing Raphael’s figure, the elven soldier exclaimed in disbelief and bewilderment.

“We plan to condense all kinds of elements together to replace light magic and become the support of the entire Magic Circle,”Abel explained with a hint of surprise in his eyes when he saw Raphael’s face.

“It’s indeed a good idea,”Raphael agreed with a smile after thinking for a while.

“It might take about fifteen minutes for us to set up the Magic Circle.”Abel looked into Raphael’s eyes and said, “It’s up to you how to stall for time.”

“Fifteen minutes. I’ve seen Shadow Shadow many times. The total time we spent talking together is not that long. But…”Raphael said in a relaxed tone, “I’ll do my best.”

“Thank you,”Abel replied.

After the conversation between the two ended, the atmosphere in the room was a little cold.

“Soldier, you haven’t eaten dinner yet, right?”Kant said gently. “I asked the breakfast reserved for you in the kitchen to be reheated. It will probably be delivered soon.”

“Thank You, Your Majesty!”The soldier said in surprise. He thought that he had missed the meal and could only eat the dry food in his bags. He didn’t expect Kant to be so meticulous!

“Tonight, you will probably have to stay up all night for the Magic Circle,”Kant said with a smile. “You must eat your fill and have enough energy.”

“Wow!”The dining cart was pushed into the tent. More than ten people’s dinner was placed on it, and it was steaming.

Beside the plate, there was also hot coffee prepared for the soldier.

“Your Majesty Kant, thank you.”Abel faced Kant and expressed his grat.i.tude.

“It’s nothing. If you want to thank someone, thank the soldier in the kitchen.”Although Kant knew that Abel meant something, he still did not directly thank him. He replied in a relaxed manner.

“We’ll go back to the camp to rest first.”Bunduk walked to the door of the tent, turned around and waved at Abel. “I’ll get rid of the rest of you.”

CHAPTER 799: A Casual Chat after dinner

“Yes.”Abel bowed to Bunduk and watched the three of them leave.

“Captain Abel, come and have dinner as well.”An Elven soldier put down the steak in his hand and called out to Abel.

“Okay.”Abel nodded and agreed. He sat down beside the soldier. He took his portion of food. He said to the soldier who had already started eating, “After eating, everyone can rest for a while before starting to work.”

“Yes! Captain!”After the soldier placed a cus.h.i.+on on his stomach, his mood became high again as he replied enthusiastically.

After eating the food on his plate, Abel walked to the stove in the camp and added a few sticks of firewood to the stove. Then he sat on a chair and looked at the soldier from afar.

“Captain, you haven’t drunk your coffee yet.”When Abel was about to fall asleep in a daze, a soldier came to him with two cups of coffee. He said, “Drink some of this. Your body will be warm.”

“Thank you.”Abel opened his tired eyes and smiled at the soldier.

“It’s nothing,”the soldier said with a heroic smile.

The two of them sat quietly by the stove for a while and drank the coffee in their cups.

“Captain Abel,”the soldier called out softly.

“What’s Wrong?”Abel was holding the porcelain cup in his hand to warm his hand. After hearing the soldier’s call, he was stunned for a moment and replied gently.

The soldier turned his head and glanced at him. He smiled and said, “It’s nothing. I thought you had fallen asleep again, Captain.”

Hearing this, Abel also laughed out loud and replied, “I’m actually not that sleepy.”

After he finished speaking, the two of them looked at each other again and began to chat.

“What do you think about Captain Raphael’s matter?”In the harmonious atmosphere, the soldier finally spoke about Raphael.

Abel raised his eyebrows, he said, “Before Raphael came to the island, I thought that I would never want to see him again in my life. “However, a few days after I heard the news, I still saw him. “At the beginning, I still felt angry. “However, I felt his helplessness at that time from his body. “I began to imagine what kind of choice I would make if I met Raphael’s predicament at that time.”

“What are your thoughts?”The soldier cast his fleeting gaze at Abel and asked nervously.

“I can’t give a definite answer,”Abel replied with his eyes closed. “Perhaps my thoughts are not broad enough, which caused my heart to hesitate.”

“Is that so?”The soldier put down the porcelain cup in his hand and muttered silently.

“If it were you, what would you do?”Abel met the soldier’s gaze, he smiled and asked, “The group of soldiers who are with Raphael also have your former comrades, right? In your eyes, would they be the ones who would do such a Thing?”

The soldier was momentarily at a loss for words in the face of Abel’s question. He was unable to speak.

Abel did not intend to continue discussing this topic. When he saw that the soldier was unable to speak, he turned his face to the side and continued to drink the coffee in his hand.

The next afternoon.

Kant and the others received the news that the crew members were not allowed to leave the city.

Bunduk asked the soldier who came back to report the news, “How did you do it?”

“We took out some silver and gave it to the dwarf who guarded the city,”the soldier explained. “We asked them to find an excuse to detain the crew members. In the morning, the soldier who was guarding near the crew members’original living quarters saw the crew members return to the Inn.”

“Well done.”Kant nodded. “There aren’t many trade caravan that go to the foot of the volcano. If these people want to follow the next batch of trade caravan out of the city, they’ll have to wait for a while.”

“Thank you for your hard work,”Bunduk said to the soldier. “Let the soldier in the city go and greet the dwarf who is guarding the city. Let them release the crew members. Don’t make things too difficult for them.”

“Yes!”The soldier bowed and replied.

At this moment, Abel was leading his soldiers to set up a formation on the ground where Raphael’s tent was located.

Meanwhile, Raphael was sitting by the side and watching how they operated.

After the conversation between Abel and the soldier last night, the att.i.tude of the elven soldier in the camp towards Raphael had softened a lot. Even though they only treated him as if he was nothing, they still put down their cold eyebrows.

“Alright.”Abel clapped his hands and announced the success of the formation.

The soldier who had been busy all night exhaled in relief and collapsed on the ground.

“Everyone, quickly go and rest. We will gather at the camp in the evening,”Abel ordered the soldier under his command.

The Elven soldier still had a few hours to replenish his strength.

“Yes, Captain,”the soldier replied. Then, they returned to their respective tents. They needed a good night’s sleep.

Abel sized up the Caradia soldier who was standing in for the Elven soldier. He walked up to Raphael and said, “This formation has been completed. The rest is up to you.”

“Mm, you should also go and rest.”Raphael nodded.

“Mm.”Abel forced a smile on his tired face and nodded.

Then, he brushed past Raphael and walked back to his tent.

Because of the absence of more than a dozen Elven soldier, the military barrack suddenly became quiet.

Only the footsteps of the Caradia soldier patrolling could be heard.

Bunduk led his soldiers to practice on the open s.p.a.ce outside the camp. While he was supervising everyone’s training progress, he paid attention to the movements around him.

However, there were very few pedestrians in the camp chosen by the elves. The situation around the camp was as calm as usual.

“It seems that shadow something is planning to come alone,”Bunduk said to Kant, who was beside him.

“According to Raphael, shadow something will bring Raphael’s reward from the dark forces,”Kant said.

“What is the reward?”Bunduk asked, puzzled.

“I don’t know.”Kant shook his head and said, “Maybe it’s a treasure, or maybe it’s the Machete in shadow something’s hand.”

“Raphael is in danger,”Bunduk shouted.

“Of course he knows, and now you know too,”Kant said casually.

“It can’t be that Abel doesn’t know yet, right?”Bunduk frowned and said, “However, according to Raphael’s personality, it does seem like he won’t tell Abel himself.”

“Raphael and I both hope that the mission will be successful, that’s why we won’t say anything about it,”Kant instructed. “You can’t tell anyone else about this either.”

Bunduk’s gaze became complicated. He sighed and said, “If Raphael really sacrificed himself for this mission, how should Abel and the others face it?”

Chapter 800: Ambush laid out in advance

“Everything will be over.”Kant looked at the distant sky and said, “Besides, if Raphael can successfully delay shadownet, we will certainly rush in and rescue him immediately.”

“Yes.”Bunduk stood at the side and nodded.

When evening came, the Elven soldier woke up from their sleep. They put on their mage robes and stood in the open s.p.a.ce of the camp.

“How is everyone’s Rest?”Abel stood in front of everyone and asked.

“Very good!”The soldier replied in unison, his voice much louder than it was in the morning.

Abel smiled and nodded. “That’s good. Today’s mission will continue until 1:30 am. I hope that your mind power can continue until then!”

“Yes!”The soldier replied.

“Then disband. Go to your respective positions and replace your comrades from Caradia who have been on sentry duty for the entire day,”Abel ordered.

The Elven soldier spread out in small groups and trotted to every corner of the camp, waiting for night to arrive.

At one o’clock in the morning, shadow stalker snuck into Raphael’s tent on time.

“Long time no see,”shadow something stood by the bed and said softly to Raphael, who was lying on the bed.

“You’re here?”Raphael rubbed his drowsy eyes. He got up, walked to the square table, and sat down. He lit the candlestick on the table.

This was his signal to Caradia and the others.

Shadow something saw his action and frowned. “What are you doing?”

“Oh, I’m sorry. I forgot that you’re afraid of light.”Raphael smiled apologetically. Then, he turned around and blew out the candlestick.

After Kant and the others saw the moment of light, they immediately deployed troops to set up an ambush around the tent.

Abel brought his elven mages carefully to the front of the tent and began to operate the Magic Circle.

“Abel, you must hold on.”Bunduk stared at the swaying figure in the tent and prayed in his heart.

“Didn’t you say that you would bring some reward?”Raphael asked, pretending to be relaxed.

“Let’s not talk about that first.”Shadow Something’s eyes darkened as he sat down beside Raphael, he asked, “I heard that the crew members who helped you are already preparing to escape to the small town at the foot of the volcano. When are you going to persuade Caradia’s group to retreat from the island?”

“How could they listen to me?”Raphael shook his head, he said, “Right now, I can only guard against them not taking any information from me and forcefully hold them off. As long as you don’t show up, they won’t be able to find any clues, and will naturally withdraw from here.”

A hint of anxiety appeared in Ying Yu’s eyes, he said, “No, they must leave this small island as soon as possible. “The king and the others are already prepared to start a war with the Midget clan’s troops. “If the human troops still remain here until then, it will be disadvantageous for us.”

“Don’t worry.”After hearing the news of the war, Raphael was stunned for a moment, he said, “This time, none of the people sent by Caradia have the real power to mobilize the troops. They don’t have the courage to partic.i.p.ate in the fight between the forces on the island.”

“No,”shadow shadow said, “You have to think of a way to chase them away. If it really doesn’t work, I can mobilize a few of my men to help. Since you are the insider, we shouldn’t need to go through much trouble.”

Raphael could hear the murderous intent in the other party’s words, and his stomach could not help but churn. His right hand subconsciously covered his stomach.

“What’s wrong with you?”Shadow Stalker looked at Raphael and asked.

“I think I must have eaten something bad in my stomach. It’s been hurting for a few days, but there’s no problem.”Raphael waved his hand, he said, “With my body, I don’t think I can cooperate with you to do those things. “Besides, I’m locked up in this tent all day and can’t receive any news at all. “I’ll give it a try. I’ll think of a way to get rid of this pile of trouble. “If there’s anything you need, I’ll look for your help.”

“Alright then. If you need anything, find the messenger on the island and send a message to me.”Shadow something agreed with Raphael’s suggestion and said, “I’ll take my leave first.”

Raphael looked at his back as he turned to leave. He remembered that Abel was still casting spells outside the tent. He hurriedly urged him to stay. “Right, if we start a war, will the ‘kings’be in danger?”

Ying Hong turned around in puzzlement, he asked, “Since when did you start to care so much?”? ‘The Kings’were so powerful, and they were important figures with n.o.ble positions. Of course, nothing could threaten them. “When the time comes, if we start a war, only small figures like you and I will suffer.”

“So that’s how it is…”Raphael replied guiltily.

When Shadow Shadow saw his expression, he thought that Raphael was afraid that he would be affected by the war. He walked up to him and said with a faint smile, “But you shouldn’t have been on this island at that time, right?”

“Why?”Raphael raised his head and looked at Shadow Shadow.

“It’s nothing.”A hint of coldness flashed in Shadow Shadow’s eyes. He said, “I just thought that you should have escaped by boat by then.”

“I see.”Raphael lowered his head and replied, “But where can I escape to? The Elf Kingdom will not recognize my ident.i.ty.”

“That’s your own business,”shadow something said coldly. “I still have other matters to attend to. I’ll be leaving first.”

“Alright.”Raphael nodded. “Next time you come, remember to bring the ‘reward’that you mentioned.”

“What’s yours will always be yours. Don’t think too much about it.”After leaving a sentence with an unclear meaning, shadow something climbed over the window and walked out of the tent. He ran into Kant and the others.

“Raphael!”Shadow something furrowed his brows tightly. He glared angrily at the camp and shouted.

“What’s Wrong?”Raphael walked slowly from the main door to shadow something’s front, he said with a smile that was not a smile, “I’ve never seen you before in a place where there are lights. But you look similar to what I remember. You’re just as detestable.”

“Heh heh,”shadow something sneered. “We’ll meet again in the future. Just you wait.”

Without waiting for Raphael’s reply, shadow something transformed into his form and prepared to charge out of the crowd’s encirclement.

However, he was repelled by the Magic Circle laid down by Abel.

“Ah!”Shadow something cried out in pain. He fell to the ground, stirring up dust.

“We will meet again in the future, but whenever I want to see you, whenever I don’t want to see you. That will depend on my mood.”Raphael walked up to shadow something, who was burned by magick, and spoke calmly.

“You Traitor!”Shadow something shouted. “Live as a traitor for the rest of Your Life!”

“I will.”Raphael’s gaze froze as he replied, “But before I end my sinful life, I hope you can save your dog life until then!”
