Chapter 791: Chapter 791. Troops arriving at the shore
“Name list.”The Elven soldier handed a piece of paper to Abel and said, “The dwarf asked me to give it to you.”
Abel raised his eyebrows and said, “Everyone who has registered their name will get this, right?”
“Yes,”the Elven soldier replied.
“I see.”Abel took the name list and looked at it carefully.
He barely knew the people on the list. There was also no race at the end of the name.
“There are so many people involved in the betrayer of the Dragon Clan?”Abel said in surprise.
“Raphael and the others are not on this list,”said the Elven soldier.
Abel nodded and recalled the timeline. He said, “Although the authenticity of this list is still uncertain, Raphael was indeed still in the forest at that time, delivering the news for us. He had yet to participate in the group of Dark Forces.”
“Mm.”The soldier nodded after listening to Abel’s explanation.
“How did the dwarf pass the list to You?”Abel put away the page and asked the soldier.
“The same paper was folded in a big pile at the corner of the table where the name book was placed. It seems that the dwarf didn’t have time to pass it to you before you left.”The soldier thought for a moment, “After knowing that I was with you, the dwarf passed the list to me.”
“Did he say anything to you?”Abel continued to ask.
The soldier tilted his head and thought for a while before answering, “No.”
“Good. Now we have to hurry back,”Abel said. “The town’s city gate will be closed at six in the afternoon.”

“Yes,”the soldier replied.
The two of them immediately set off and walked out of the theater. Following the direction of the road sign, they rushed toward the city gate.
After returning to the military barrack, Abel immediately gathered the soldier who had returned to the military barrack together. He said to them, “Everyone, there’s no need to go to the city tomorrow to keep an eye on them. The people from the ship society are more suitable for surveillance than us. We have already been targeted by the dark forces.”
“Captain!”! The ship society received the news from the Elf Kingdom. “His Majesty Kant of Caradia told us not to act rashly and wait for him to bring the soldiers of Caradia to the island.”A soldier who had received the letter rushed into the tent, he reported to Abel.
Abel took the letter and glanced at the date on the envelope. In his heart, he calculated that Kant and his group would arrive at the coast the day after tomorrow.
“It seems that we made the right decision at the beginning. His Majesty Kant doesn’t want to alert the enemy.”Abel instructed, “Everyone, hold your positions and act according to the usual schedule in the military barrack. “Let the people who are watching us lower their guard. “After your Highness Kant arrives, we will prepare the next step of our operation.”
“Yes!”The soldier replied.
“Remember to keep in contact with the ship company at all times. The information they have is also very important,”Abel instructed a subordinate standing beside him.
“Yes, Captain!”
On the day when Kant’s ship was expected to arrive, Abel stood by the shore of the harbor early and waited.
The sparkling sea reflected his melancholic face.
A few days ago, a letter came, informing him that seven Caradia soldier had died in battle and that Devitt and the others had undergone amputations.
At this moment, there were two people that Abel found the most difficult to face. One was Devitt himself, and the other was Raphael, whom he had been good friends with for ten years.
If he did not take the initiative to find and apologize to Devitt, it would be very difficult for him to see him again in his life.
And Raphael was sitting on this small boat that was about to reach the harbor.
Abel’s entire body sank into a deep feeling of powerlessness. He did not know what kind of scene he would see when he saw Raphael.
* thud — * The sound of a whistle came from afar.
The ship with Caradia’s national emblem on it sailed into the harbor. Abel clenched his fists and walked towards the exit of the harbor.
He was the only one who came to welcome him today.
The reason for this was: firstly, he did not want to attract the attention of the dark forces for the time being, and secondly, Abel was worried that his soldier would not be able to control his emotions. He did something irreversible to Raphael.
Kant walked at the forefront of the group. His powerful aura instantly stole the sight of the pedestrians around him.
Abel also followed the discussions of the people and raised his head to look over.
Kant walked straight to bunduk and greeted, “Hello, I am the Lord of Caradia, Kant.”
“Your Majesty Kant, Hello.”Abel was stunned for a second, then came back to his senses. He bowed and said, “I am the captain of the Elven soldier stationed on the island, Abel.”
“Yes, I’ve heard of your name.”Kant nodded and said.
“The matter of the CARADIA soldier who set off from the island…”Abel clenched his fists and said.
“It’s already over.”Kant patted his shoulder and comforted him. “We are here to seek an explanation for their sacrifice.”
“I’m really… Sorry.”Abel’s expression was sorrowful.
This sorrow had been buried in his heart since the day the news came. Only now, when he saw Kant and the others, did he finally reveal all of his emotions.
“It’s okay,”Kant said as he looked at him. His Hand had been placed on Abel’s hunched back the whole time.
Bunduk could not help but be moved as he said to Abel, “You don’t have to blame yourself.”
“… I’ll take you to the camp. The soldier is waiting for you,”Abel calmed himself down and said to Kant.
“Okay,”Kant replied.
A group of people set off from the harbor to the camp.
On the way, Abel reported to Kant and Bunduk what happened the day before yesterday.
After listening to Abel’s statement, Kant thought for a while, he said, “Actually, I don’t really believe that there are traitors in the Dragon Clan. This event should be the Dragon Clan’s attempt to distinguish the forces on the island from each other.”
“Yeah, I think so too,”Bunduk agreed. “Apart from that, I really can’t think of why the Dragon Clan would make such a ruckus.”
Abel was slightly surprised by the two’s speculation. He asked tentatively, “Then what should we do now?”
“You made the right choice by withdrawing the elven soldier from the city,”Kant said. “All the forces on the shore of the island have gathered at this place. That place is indeed not suitable for you to stay in. “Let’s stick to our original plan and take it one step at a time. “Arrange it tomorrow. I want to go to the boatyard and meet those people.”
“Yes, your Majesty,”Abel and Bunduk answered in unison.
After a while, Abel took out the list in his pocket and asked Kant, “Your Majesty, do you want to take a look at this list again?”
“This list is very important.”Kant took the list and looked at it carefully.
Chapter 792: Chapter 792. The trust that was shattered by his own hands
“Why isn’t this list marked with the identity of these people?”Kant asked Abel, puzzled.
“I don’t know either.”Abel shook his head and replied.
Kant seemed to have been struggling with this question. As he walked on the road, his brows were tightly knitted.
“Your Majesty, is this question very important?”Bunduk could not help but ask tentatively.
“If you want to talk about whether it’s important or not…”Kant curled his lips and said, “It makes my impression of the Dragon Clan become erratic.”
“Your Majesty, you mean that the Dragon Clan hasn’t decided to take sides?”Abel thought for a moment and asked.
Kant’s eyes lit up and he smiled gently. “You’re really smart.”
Abel was flustered by this sudden compliment. He lowered his head shyly and did not say another word.
Seeing that Kant agreed with what he said, Bunduk continued to ask, “Since the Dragon Clan does not intend to join any faction, why are they acting so proactively?”
“The Dragon Clan’s position on this island is not for nothing.”Kant narrowed his eyes, he replied, “The reason why they took the initiative was to show their status as guardians. They appeared to be aggressive when they participated in this gathering, but they secretly left a way out for both sides.”
“I see.”Abel took over Kant’s words and thought for a while before replying.
Kant looked at him with a smile and said, “You’ve helped a lot since the reconnaissance team was able to successfully complete the mission to help the Midget clan. In my impression, Devitt and Claremont didn’t react as quickly as you did.”
“Devitt and Claremont are both excellent leaders. I was only assisting them from the side.”Abel’s tone was not relaxed when he mentioned his deceased friend.
“Excellent people will always attract each other.”Kant stretched out his hand and said to Abel, “I’m looking forward to working with you on this island. We must find the leader behind the scenes and make them pay the price.”

“Yes. Of course we will do our best.”Abel bowed respectfully and used his hands to hold back Kant’s outstretched hand.
“This operation does not only require our hard work.”Kant nodded and said, “We also need Raphael’s assistance. His body does not seem to be in good condition. You should find time to visit him.”
As he spoke, he pointed to the end of the group. Raphael was being carried behind him by a soldier.
When Abel heard Raphael’s name, his body froze. He then applied to Kant, “Your Majesty, I don’t think Raphael needs to be involved in this operation. He is already a traitor. Who knows when he might run away to seek protection in the enemy’s territory.”
“I heard that you and Raphael have known each other for ten years.”Kant did not directly answer his question, instead, he replied, “You haven’t met each other after this incident, right? Go and talk to him first. Ask him if he is willing to help us.”
Abel raised his head and met Kant’s gaze. When he saw the other party’s determined gaze, he silently nodded.
The camp by the coast was still very close. In less than half an hour, a group of people walked to the door of the military barrack.
“Captain Abel! King Kant! Commander Bunduk!”The Elven soldier bowed in front of the three leaders.
“Get up,”Kant said.
When the Elven soldier straightened up, Abel asked one of his subordinates, “How’s the situation outside the camp today?”
“The orcs who were monitoring the area a few days ago have already retreated,”the subordinate soldier reported.
“Yes,”Abel nodded and replied.
“The Dragon Clan’s movements have probably spread throughout the entire coast. These people should not have the time to monitor us in the near future,”Bunduk deduced.
“Dinner is ready. Please put down your bags and follow the soldier in the camp to the dining hall,”Abel called out to the Caradia soldier behind him.
“Yes!”The soldier replied in unison.
This voice made Bunduk recall the time when he trekked in the forest. Every morning at the Assembly, the Caradia soldier would respond to his words in the same way.
His gaze unconsciously drifted to the end of the line.
“Raphael…”Abel said the name in a weak voice that could not be heard.
The atmosphere in the dining hall was not as lively as he had imagined. After all, everyone was still immersed in the sad atmosphere.
Abel looked around the dining hall and asked the subordinate who organized the soldiers to receive the meal, “Where are Lord Kant and Commander Bunduk?”
“They are still in the tent. They said that they will arrive a little later,”the soldier replied.
“Yes.”Abel continued to ask, “What about Raphael?”
“Raphael… he’s still resting in the tent. According to the soldier from Caradia, when he’s on the ship, he won’t go to the dining hall to eat. It’s always the soldier who delivers food to him,”the soldier said carefully.
“Has today’s dinner been delivered?”Abel took a deep breath and asked.
“Not yet.”The soldier took out a plate filled with dishes and looked at Abel.
“I’ll send it to him,”Abel said as he took the plate.
“Captain…”the soldier said worriedly as he handed the plate to Abel.
“Don’t worry, I Won’t attack him,”Abel said with an indifferent expression.
He turned around and walked out of the dining hall.
Raphael’s place had always been reserved for him: a small tent in the corner of the camp.
Abel stood outside the tent with a tray in his hand and asked, “Raphael, are you there?”
The person inside did not respond. Abel lifted the curtain and walked in.
Raphael, who was lying on his bed, turned his head to look at him. Tears fell from his expressionless face.
Bunduk did not know who those tears were for. He sat down in front of him with a tray in his hand and said, “I heard that you need someone to bring you dinner before you eat.”
Raphael pursed his lips and did not say a word. He stared straight at Abel’s face.
Abel met his gaze, and his eyes began to turn red. He said in a choked voice, “I really don’t understand why you would betray us. In my memory, you are not this kind of person.”
“Thank you for coming to see me,”Raphael turned his face and said.
“Aren’t you going to explain?”Abel put his hand on Raphael’s shoulder and said.
“I just want to live.”After Raphael said these words, he closed his eyes in pain.
“To live? What about Claremont and the others? “Should they bury their lives in the deep sea for you?”Bunduk roared. “Do you know that I still don’t dare to tell the newly promoted Gilbert… “The news of Austin’s death. “Because I’m afraid that he will pounce on me and question me. Your actions have caused so many people to suffer for it!”
