280 Catherine mysteriously disappears
At the foot of the First Expeditionary Army's Tent Mountain, nearly 20,000 dog soldiers tightly surrounded the mountain peak and guarded the Tent Mountain.
On the outskirts of the Tent Mountain, the dragon lice were organized in regiments and were stationed in designated areas with great discipline under the management of the army leaders.
The louse colonies are usually quiet and silent, but the dog warriors howl unconsciously, and even from the top of the mountain, you can hear the noise coming from below.
Catherine stood on the edge of the cliff and watched for a while, and the new soldiers who had returned with her made the remaining leaders a little nervous at first. However, when the military leaders met the female overseers in person, they simply let down their guards, and the dragon lice warriors under the military leaders did not even make a stir.
Catherine is not shy about her "appreciation" of this racial trait of dragon lice - absolute top-down pyramid rule is the best way to establish the authority of the Overseers.
Retracting her downward gaze, Catherine turned and walked towards her tent. She was followed by a somewhat reluctant old dog. The old dog still has the map of the dog legion's military tent in his mouth.
"Lord Overseer, welcome back victorious. Adjutant Dragonlice saluted respectfully.
He was standing under the huge map of the military tent. Catherine vaguely remembered that before she led her troops to the battle, Adjutant Dragon Lice was standing in that position. After all this time, he didn't seem to have moved.
Catherine had become accustomed to the overly deferential attitude of the dragon lice adjutant. In her heart, she couldn't help but compare this adjutant with the old dog of the dog army. Although it was concluded that the old dog was not very deferential to herself, the female mage instinctively liked the old dog more.
"Do you know him?" asked Catherine, gesturing to the old dog lying behind her.
"Adjutant of the Dog Legion's Overseer, My Lord. Adjutant Dragon Lice replied immediately.
"Oh, the old dog said you didn't know each other. Catherine said, glancing at the old dog.
"Your Excellency. There are channels of mutual communication between the adjutants. Adjutant Dragonlice's words were full of subtext.
"But I've never been in contact with him. Although the old dog bit the map of the military tent in his mouth, he immediately squeezed out words from between his teeth.
Catherine glanced at the old dog again.
"We really haven't been in contact. My lord. The dragon lice lieutenant added.
"I got the map of the Dog Legion's tent. Catherine didn't mean to delve further into the subject, she reached out and took the map from the old dog's mouth. "It's an interesting map. ”
"Of course, our map is starting to get interesting. Catherine stared at the map in her tent, where the line representing the First Expeditionary Force and the Dog Legion had also changed, just as the Dog Legion map.
"Before I left, you said I would get this map. The Overseer's gaze shifted from the map to the dragon lice lieutenant.
"My lord, the two maps can be combined. "The dragon lice adjutant seems to have been prepared for this.
The old dog's eyes narrowed, and he said, "After the map is merged, it can't be separated again." ”
"You also know that maps can be merged?" Catherine asked the old dog, turning around.
"Yes, but I don't know what will happen after the merger. The Scorn Legion has yet to get any other tent maps. The old dog paused, and saw that Catherine looked as usual. He continued, "Lord Evil Star has planned to capture another map, but there is no opponent he can defeat in this area. ”
"What's in it for merger?" Catherine looked back at lieutenant dragon lice, "Have we merged our maps?"
"Merged twice, my lord. Lieutenant Dragonlice stood up straight and replied, "The new map gets bigger with each merge, but there may be other changes. ”
Catherine didn't speak, her eyes wandering between the bundle of small maps in her hand and the large map hanging in the tent that occupied an entire wall. A cursory visual inspection alone is sure that a minimap from the Dog Legion. It's less than one-fifth the size of the map in your account.
The old dog wasted no time in saying: "The map of the expeditionary force is already large enough, and it is useless to become big. ”
But it was as if the Overseer had made up her mind. "It's really useless to get bigger, so it's important to see if there are any other changes. With that, she threw the map in her hand to Adjutant Dragonlice.
The dragon lice lieutenant caught the map and opened it carefully. "Your Excellency. Are you sure you want to merge?"
"Sure. ”
Adjutant Dragonlice received an affirmative reply, and turned to paste the map in his hand onto the huge map of the expeditionary force. It's like putting ice in a river, and the map from the Dog Legion disappears all at once. It is a pity that the map of the expeditionary force has not produced any changes. It itself has not gotten any bigger.
"No change is also a change. The old dog said matter-of-factly.
Catherine glared at the old dog with a cold face. At this moment, the surface of the map suddenly became smooth. It was like a mirror reflecting the figure of the female mage.
"Is this the real change?" muttered Catherine. She walked over to the map, wanting to reach out and touch the mirror. But a little hesitant. The fingers paused in mid-air, and the female mage saw herself shaking in the mirror.
She couldn't help but take two steps back, she was indeed shaking in the mirror, and soon her face changed, and a long dragon lice beak growed. Catherine subconsciously touched her face, but fortunately the ugly straw did not grow.
Catherine in the mirror took a step to the left, and her face with dragon lice beaks shifted to the back to reveal another Catherine's face with mouthpieces. Two figures appeared in the mirror, and the figure that remained in place took another step to the right. The same thing happened, but fortunately, the back of that face revealed the original appearance of the female mage.
Within a few seconds, there were three Catherines on the map, two with long louse beaks. They stood on either side of the female mage, one on the left and one on the right, sandwiching Catherine in the middle.
Before the Overseer could recover from her surprise, Catherine reached out and grabbed the Overseer's left and right hands. They jumped hard without saying a word, and disappeared with Catherine.
The tent was so quiet that it seemed as if time had stopped. Everything in front of me only happened in an instant, and it seemed that even the dragon lice adjutant and the old dog had no time to react. However, they did not look surprised at all, as if the Overseer's seclusion was a normal thing.
The old dog yawned and lay down, his eyelids closed heavily, and a slight snoring followed. The dragon lice lieutenant remained in his usual position, as if waiting for an overseer's inquiry. (To be continued......)
