Lord of the Oasis-Chapter 774: Catching Up The Boat

By the time the sun had set, the soldiers had already started a bonfire in front of the tents they had built.

It was not cold along the coast of the island in this season, especially for the soldiers who had been walking in the mountains and forests for several days.

Many people had already rushed to the seaside in the name of catching fish. In fact, most of them had gone to play in the water.

Devitt and the others did not restrict the soldiers' relaxed behavior.

If they were in Drondheim, Devitt and Claremont would have already brought their soldiers to the tavern to feast.

However, they were only on the way home, which meant that their captain's mission was not over.

In order to maintain this image in front of the soldiers. Devitt and Claremont only turned a blind eye to the soldiers' actions.

The situation on the elf side was very different from that of the humans. Abel came to the seaside, and his mood soared. He was probably still bringing the elven soldiers to play by the seaside.

Only Devitt, Claremont, and a few soldiers who were in charge of standing guard were staying in the huge camp.

The time was late at night, and the night wind on the sea had become bone-chilling. The soldiers who had returned from playing on the shore each held a few small fish in their hands. They walked to the kitchen and asked the cooking soldiers to add the fishes to the menu for tonight.

Bamboo poles were set up on the bonfire in the camp, and the soldiers' soaked cotton clothes were hung on the bamboo poles.

Everyone surrounded the bonfire and waited for their clothes to be dried. At the same time, they looked forward to the delicious dishes being served in the kitchen.

"Everyone only sees the sea once in a long time, right?" Devitt said to Claremont as he placed the wine cup on the stove and roasted it.

"If we can board the ship tomorrow, then we will have to stay on the ship for four to five days." Claremont replied.

Devitt glanced at Claremont and said, "Four or five days is nothing. When we came to this island, didn't we take a boat for about half a month before we arrived?"

"When I think of those days, I feel sick to my stomach." Claremont complained.

"Ha." Devitt said with a laugh, "Is this the only impression that this sea left on you?"

Claremont waved his hand, indicating that he didn't want to talk.

The next morning, the soldiers heard the whistle of the ship in their sleep.

The moment Claremont heard the whistle, he immediately rolled over and jumped off the bed. He put on his cotton clothes and boots, ran to the place where the steamer was docked, and shouted to the crew on the steamer, "Wait for us! We want to board the ship too!"

A siren got off the boat and looked at the camp not far behind Claremont. He said, "Okay. But you have to wake up your people quickly. We have to leave now."

"Okay, thank you." Claremont nodded and immediately turned around and ran to the tent.

He woke up Devitt while hurriedly putting on his clothes. Before walking out of the tent, Claremont said to Devitt, who was still sitting on the bed, "Quickly wake up the other soldiers. I'll inform Devitt and the others."

After Devitt reacted, he immediately got out of bed. He asked the soldiers who had already gotten out of bed to help wake up the soldiers in their teams.

Before the reconnaissance team had the time to wash up, they stood in front of the steamship and gathered with sleepy eyes. Claremont brought Abel and the others over from the other side of the coast.

"Board the ship," the siren crew called out.

The Caradia soldiers followed the crew onto the deck. The elven soldiers followed behind them and boarded the ship.

"Where are you going?" a siren crew member walked out of the cockpit and asked the scout team.

"To the harbor." Devitt answered briefly.

"Okay." the crewman nodded. "Fifty silver coins per person."

"In total, Caradia will need ten gold coins." Claremont said to Devitt after calculating in his mind.

"Let's use it. It's the last trip." Devitt replied.

Claremont looked at him in surprise and said, "But we only have five gold coins left."

"What?" Devitt widened his eyes and exclaimed.

"Didn't I tell you last night? We don't have much money left." Claremont continued.

Devitt recalled what happened last night. Claremont did say that to him.

Claremont was in charge of all the coins in the team, and Devitt usually didn't care about this issue. He didn't expect to be so embarrassed.

Devitt and Claremont placed their last hope on Abel and looked to Abel for help.

Abel sighed again in his heart. Ever since he stayed with these two people, he didn't know how many times he had sighed.

Abel took out the money bag in his arms and said, "I'll pay for it."

"Thank you," Devitt said in a low voice.

"Do you have money?" the crew looked at the three people and asked.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Abel quickly answered. He counted twenty gold coins from the money bag and handed it to the crew.

The crew took the money in his hand and counted it again. He said, "Okay, the cabin is down there. You can go down and find an empty bed."

"Below? Can't we stay in these places?" Claremont was puzzled. He pointed at the cabin next to the cockpit.

"No." the crew member didn't explain further and returned to his post.

Devitt frowned and walked to the underground cabin that the crew member mentioned.

In the end, he found that in the vast space, people's beds were also next to each other.

"Why can't we live on it?" a soldier looked around the cabin environment and complained.

"The humidity here will be very heavy, right?" another soldier said.

Devitt and Claremont organized Caradia soldiers to sit on their respective beds and put down their luggage.

This 'cabin' was probably set up with beds for around 200 people.

The beds of the soldiers of Caradia were gathered together. However, some nomads were already staying on the beds around them.

"Is this your first time on this ship?" a nomad asked.

"Yes." Claremont nodded and replied, "We're going to the harbor."

"Most of us are also going to the harbor. Who introduced you to this place?" the nomad asked.

"The owner of a hotel at the foot of the volcano." Austin replied.

"The crew on this ship charged us so much money and let us stay here. It's too unscrupulous" a soldier said angrily.

The nomad smiled and said, "That's not what you thought.. The crew risked their lives to do this business."
