Truth be told, Catherine was happy with her setup. It's a safe way to get the information she wants to know, no matter how things go.

The female mage's conceit lies in her knowledge and experience, and she is confident that she can deduce an approximate idea with just a few clues. You don't need the adjutant to say anything, the truth will be revealed in front of you.

The only pity is that the goblin scholar has not yet returned to normal, and if the old professor's encyclopedia can be added, Catherine is even more sure.

However, the real progress of things has not been smooth at all. Three days had passed, but no one had sent back from the First Army; five days had passed, and the evil stars that had been dangling over the Tent Hill every day had not "visited" again; and after ten days, Catherine's confidence was somewhat shaken. She sent two teams of scouts out, one to liaise with the First Army Chief, and the other to the Dog Legion's garrison to reconnoiter the situation.

The scout team that had been in contact with the First Army returned four hours later. But the news they brought with them made Catherine uneasy, and the entire First Army, including the First Army Chief, was gone.

Seven hours later, the scout team that had gone to Scout the Dog Corps returned, but they were followed by a group of barking dog warriors.

The number of dog warriors was only a few hundred, and the expeditionary force easily wiped them out. Their bodies were also thrown into the pile. These days have passed, and the hill-like pile of corpses has remained unchanged, and the corpses have neither decomposed nor decreased.

According to the scout's report. The dog warriors stationed in the Dog Legion are wandering aimlessly through their territory. The group of dog warriors who followed them ran into the scout team, and instinctively drove them to the territory of the expeditionary force in a daze.

"It's a good time to attack the Dog Legion. The old professor suggested to Catherine, "Apparently the Evil Star doesn't have a garrison in the Dog Legion, so those stupid dogs have no one to restrain them. This straggler is no match for us at all. ”

The old professor's head is getting better and better day by day, and it seems that he has been thinking very positively lately, and he is almost completely free from the influence of the Silver Dragon King.

"Are you sure?" said Catherine, looking at the belligerent old professor.

"Absolutely. The old professor shouted excitedly.

Catherine agreed with the head of the Tenth Army, but the disappearance of the First Army made it difficult for her to shake off her nameless irritability.

"If you want to go, you will go tomorrow, and the night will come. Catherine took two deep breaths and said, "Let the third and fifth regiments go tomorrow." You can be safe and eat slowly. There's no rush. Safety first. ”

In the spirit world of the Silver Dragon King. Nights are short and indispensable. The replenishment of the expeditionary force took place at night.

Catherine's observation over the past few days had confirmed that the new recruits were coming from outside the station. When the sky turned red and the earth darkened, they came silently from all directions.

The new dragon lice warriors are a bit muna. They themselves don't remember where they came from. These guys have no memories of the past. Their heads can only think and function from the moment they step into the garrison of the expeditionary force.

Catherine interrogated a few of the new soldiers. I have no interest in continuing to explore the origin of dragon lice.

And now another night is coming, and Catherine doesn't want the old professor to attack the dog legion at night. Although the so-called night is only the color of the sky and the earth, it does not have any real effect on the light and vision.

So sometimes the female mage thinks. Maybe it shouldn't be called "night" at all.

While the length of each night varies, all of them are much shorter than the day. Catherine had gone out on patrol at night. She found that once she was too far away from the Tent Mountain, people would become groggy. At the same time, the influence of the Silver Dragon King's soul world on himself will also increase. This may explain why the dragon lice that come by night do not have a mental memory of their own. Ordinary dragon lice warriors simply couldn't resist this powerful soul power.

"Could the disappearance of the First Regiment have anything to do with the night?" asked the old professor Catherine. The two stood together on the edge of the cliff, watching the sky and earth in the distance slowly change color. At this moment, the night is like a living thing, devouring the original blue sky and the dark gray ground......

"Didn't the adjutant say that the night soldiers will only become sluggish and slow to respond to military orders. But if you don't have an army to fight, just be stationed on the spot, there won't be any big problems, not to mention that there are still military leaders. Catherine had already thought about this question, "The night has a great impact on us, but these soldiers have long been assimilated by this world, so what does it matter. Now the whole mass is gone, and if there is an attack, then how can there be no corpses left. You also saw that dragon lice carcasses do not decompose and disappear. So something special must have happened, right after we left. ”

"That can only be the reason for the cloud. "The only thing that can be said to be strange in that place is the cloud." Why don't you ask the adjutant, he must know a lot of inside information. ”

Catherine sighed slightly, not that she didn't want to ask the adjutant. It's that whatever the adjutant says now, it may be related to the previous visit of the evil star. The situation had not yet developed to the point where it was out of control, and the female mage was unwilling to put herself in a situation where she had no choice now.

But even if the First Legion is missing, so what? The Overseers of the Dog Legion are also gone. Originally, it might have been difficult to attack the Dog Legion, but now it only takes a little time to eat the Dog Legion without a commander.

Catherine believes that the elimination of the Dog Legion will bring unexpected gains to herself. After all, the goal of the expeditionary force is to expedition against the Thunderbolt of the Sky, and it is not wrong to destroy the outer legions of the Thunderbolt of the Heavens.

"Don't worry about the adjutant and the clouds for now. Tomorrow you go and pack up the dog legion, and I will take two regiments with me. ”

"Are you going too?" said the old professor, as if he was afraid that Catherine would take credit for his own work, "it doesn't matter if there are too many people. The battlefield is so big that it can't be spread. ”

"I'm going to their station, I'm going to see the Evil Star's tent. Catherine made up her mind, "Maybe you can go to the Evil Star's tent and you'll understand everything." ”

Nights come and go as fast as they come. The next day, the old professor led the 10th Regiment, with the cooperation of the 3rd and 5th Regiments, and set out to annihilate the "stragglers" of the Dog Legion.

About an hour or so later, Catherine ordered the 2nd and 3rd regiments to prepare for the base camp of the Dog Legion. Before leaving the tent, Catherine did not forget to ask her adjutant one more sentence, "What should I pay attention to when attacking the tent of the Dog Legion?"

After a moment's thought, Adjutant Dragon Lice replied, "My lord, you must get the map of the Dog Legion's military tent. (To be continued......)
