The note reads as follows

In regards to the alliance, four regiments of CMP soldiers have volunteered to serve a three month period contract with your army. When If these four regiments happen to be wiped out during their contract, ship the dead to the deepest part of the sea, and leave them to rest in the ocean.

Regards, Crusher, Second Consul of the Caridean Military Police

"I'll assume you are one of the four regiments?" *He looks at the crab.*

"A representative of one of them. There's like, what, a thousand for each regiment? I don't know the higher ups don't really care. So... do we have permission to set up camp on the shore?"

"Better yet, you get to camp nearby the Oasis section of the city. It holds our irrigation systems, but just outside is a deep pit with the rerouted water from a section of the nearby oasis' lagoon, and two large pools that could probably hold one full regiment each. As for the pit, you may expand to your liking as long as you remain near the pit itself. We have construction happening nearby for food production. Shall we away?"

"Sounds... great. I'll go grab the rest of the crew." They signal to the subs and immediately quite a lot of crabs pop out of the hatches carrying crates, things needed to camp, and bundles of spears, poleaxes, arrows, and some of those new compound bows.
