The Elf King looked at the treaty in his hand carefully, sometimes speculating, sometimes muttering, but in the end, he wrote it down.
He handed the treaty to Kant and said, “We welcome Drondheim’s reinforcements at any time because you are all our friends!”
The Elf King was trying to be nice, and Kant had to do the same for him, so he said, “Please rest assured, Elf King. Since we have become good allies, we will certainly advance and retreat together with your country. Moreover, Drondheim’s brave soldiers were killed by the undead soldiers. This is something I hate. I will definitely send an even more elite team to drive the undead soldiers out.”
The Elf King’s eyes were shining. Thanks to Kant’s promise, he was finally able to put a huge rock in his heart safely on the ground. Although the elven colony was in a precarious position, as long as Drondheim was willing to lend a helping hand then there would definitely be a greater chance of victory.
“Thank you so much, Lord Kant. Please allow me to use the highest etiquette of the elven colony to thank you!”
The Elf King stood up. He knelt on one knee, one hand pressed on his chest, and the other raised above his head. He lowered his head and thanked, “Respected Lord Kant, on behalf of the entire elven colony, I thank you!”
Kant quickly helped him up, he smiled and said, “Your Highness is too polite. I am doing this to make my kingdom more prosperous. The spirits of the dead soldiers have not yet rested. I can only avenge them, and that is the greatest explanation to the people.”
Kant summoned Commander Bunduk in the meeting hall. This commander was in charge of the Swadian and Rhodok sergeants. He currently held a power that was only slightly lower than Kant’s.
It could be said that he was second only to one person, and above ten thousand people.
Kant said to him earnestly, “Commander Bunduk, I know that you are still holding a grudge against me because of Commander Pam’s matter, but you must know that everything I do has a reason.”
Bunduk immediately shook his head vigorously like a leaf fan, he said in fear, “Commander Kant misunderstood. I have absolutely no sympathy for Commander Pam and he deserves such punishment.”
Kant laughed out loud and said, “It’s pointless to discuss this. Commander Bunduk, I have no intention of blaming you. I just want to ask for your opinion. What do you think of the undead soldiers?”
Kant took the initiative to hand over the wine in his hand to Bunduk.
Bunduk did not dare to take it. After all, he was a subject. How could he let the king toast to him? He felt that this must be the king’s test for him. If he took the wine, he might end up like Pam, because he held too much real power. This would threaten Kant’s power.
“Lord Kant, this is Rhodok’s token.”
Bunduk took the initiative to hand over the Rhodok’s token to Kant from his waist.
Kant smiled at him, and then took the token from his hand without saying a word. Bunduk was a very smart person.
Kant knew that he had a sharper sense of smell than Pam, and knew the danger. That’s right if Bunduk didn’t hand over the Rhodok’s token, then he would meet the same fate as Pam.
Kant didn’t have any intention of joking.
“In that case, Commander Bunduk, I will now hand over the mission to you!”
Kant patted Bunduk on the shoulder, he smiled and said, “Commander Bunduk, I don’t want you to commit the same mistake as Commander Pam. I will give you the choice of two thousand infantrymen this time. You can choose any Swadian Sergeants or Rhodok sergeants that you want, but you must eliminate the undead soldiers in the elven colony.
Bunduk’s hands trembled as he received the order. He knew that Kant was not joking at all. This king had unknowingly become so unpredictable that even he could not guess it. He understood Kant’s intention of taking back the Rhodok token, he was afraid of Bunduk’s authority.
Right now, Bunduk no longer had any real authority in his hands. If he did not win this time, then Bunduk would only die. However, if Bunduk did not accept the order, or offered other opinions, he would die an unnatural death.
After weighing the pros and cons, Bunduk naturally knew what his right choice was. Moreover, in order to survive, he had to do his best to defeat the undead soldiers.
He secretly admired Lord Kant’s strategy. No matter what, Lord Kant only left him one way to defeat the undead soldiers, no matter the price.
Bunduk quickly went to the infantry battalion to check on the training results.
The infantrymen of Drondheim were mostly young men in their early twenties. They were strong, quick-witted, and had sharp minds. They could counterattack the enemy faster. This was one of Bunduk’s cleverness. He didn’t want to be as sentimental as Pam who always liked to provide for the veterans, but even though those veterans were brilliant when they were young, what about after the age of thirty or forty?
They had already begun to go downhill. Who knows, there might be a major mistake in any battle. For example, this time, Commander Pam had lost his life.
Bunduk was a person who loved life very much. He did not think that the lives of soldiers were as important as the lives of commanders. This was also one of the fundamental differences between him and Pam.
Commander Pam was too emotional. This was what he often criticized Pam. Although they were good friends, they were also competitors between commanders. Therefore, Bunduk even knew where his fatal weakness was.
Pam let his emotions rule him. He could be a good friend, but he would not be a good opponent. This was what Bunduk said to Kant.
The truth was that they were only friends, not opponents. Even if they died, Bunduk only thought that Pam was his friend, not his opponent.
This was extremely disrespectful to him because Pam had always treated Bunduk as his opponent. Even when they fought, he always thought that he would surpass Bunduk.
But Bunduk did not take him to heart at all. He was not worthy of being called his opponent.
Bunduk’s arrival caused the originally settled training ground to suddenly become lively. All the young soldiers raised their heads and looked over. Other than Lord Kant, the most admirable person was none other than Commander Bunduk. He was young, promising, and humble. Moreover, he had his eyes on young talents. He would not look down on anyone just because they were too young.
