Revodan was bound to come eventually.
Conversely, Winters was also waiting for them to come.
Outside the town, Winters saw Captain Apel being stopped by sentries.
The solitary Captain Apel.
"Just let me stand here then," Captain Apel, with only one escort, saw Winters in the distance and laughed heartily, "This is hardly the way to treat a guest!"
Apel was not a direct senior to Winters, but he had helped Winters greatly with matters during his service in Little Dusack.
Last time Winters visited Revodan's garrison, Apel had also welcomed him warmly.
Seeing Apel, a smile appeared on Winters's face, "Sorry, Captain. They're building houses inside, and with all the dust and dirt flying around, it's not suitable for receiving guests."
"What's there to be sorry about?" Apel laughed heartily, "Aren't you a captain as well?"
Having said that, Apel took a silk-wrapped package from his escort's saddlebag.
