Night falls.

Peggy rode through the desert with the Overseer as the shadow of the heather gradually emerged in the distance.

"Stupid Maggie." There was a hint of revenge on her face, "You think stealing dark magic is a shortcut?" I am the only heir to the 'Enchantress with a Thousand Faces'. ”

She couldn't wait to see Maggie whisper to her, bowing her head.

"Don't worry, I won't let you get under my skirt." She smirked suddenly, "At most, I'll just let you lick my toes." ”

As she galloped, an alpaca gradually approached her, it was none other than Fansi, the officer of the Overseer: "Miss Peggy, the fort ahead is not normal. ”

Peggy hugged the alpaca's neck and looked from afar, it was indeed abnormal, a fortress that had been attacked, but only a few torches.

She nodded, motioning for the team to slow down and be on guard.

.

Peggy has been following the "Thousand-Faced Enchantress" Black Dream for three years.

From maid to apprentice, she has endured countless trials and participated in countless wars. But when she led the Warlord into Heatherland, it was the first time she had seen such a scene.

Most of the soldiers in the city tumbled to the ground. Those who lay on the ground and did not move, those who covered their stomachs and moaned, those who hid in the corner and vomited, even finding someone who could stand up straight and ask questions became a luxury.

"What's going on?" She looked around in amazement.

Fansi interrogated several of the prostrated soldiers and replied, "It looks like poisoning." ”

Soldiers were poisoned en masse, what a low-level stupid blunder. Peggy didn't know for a moment whether she should laugh or cry three times, "As the main general, how incompetent must you be to cause such a thing to happen?" ”

She flicked her whip hard, "Go and bring that 'Wild Sand Star', and Maggie, I'm going to teach them a lesson!" ”

The man was brought quickly, but he was no longer human.

"Crazy Sand Star" was beaten and his nose was blue and his face was swollen, the corners of his mouth were bleeding, and he was covered in embarrassment. And Maggie is not much better, not only is her face covered with injuries, but her clothes are also tattered. And the armor of General Fansi and several soldiers who escorted them was already splattered with half of the blood.

Peggy exclaimed, "General Fansy, you ......"

"It's fine." As if to confirm his words, Van Si stepped forward a few steps, "and several soldiers tied them to pillars and beat them. Although he was an incompetent general, these rebellious parties dared to commit the following crimes, and they still had to die to apologize. ”

Fanxi lightly brushed aside the fact that he had just beheaded more than 20 people.

Peggy took a few steps forward, and just as she wanted to get closer to ask, she felt a foul smell coming to her face: "What smell?" "Looking down, Maggie was incontinent and excrement flowed all over the ground!

"Looks like Miss Maggie is more poisoned." Van Xi added, "I probably investigated: the source of the poison is probably the well, and the poison looks like black magic. ”

Peggy wanted to humiliate Maggie for fun, but seeing this look, she couldn't help but want to vomit. He hurriedly made a gesture to the soldiers to quickly bring Maggie down, and asked someone to quickly bring the straw scrap to clean up the place.

After Peggy rubbed her ears and finally came to her senses, she turned her head to stare at the "Sand Star" and asked, "I remember your name is Arrow, right?" Tell me, what's going on here? ”

Ah Luo's body and legs went limp, and he suddenly fell to the ground and convulsed.

Peggy and the soldiers on both sides thought that he was going to pee and feces too, so they hurriedly ran away a few steps in fright. Unexpectedly, his illness was milder, just intermittent epilepsy and foaming at the mouth.

I saw him lying on the ground humming and chirping for a long time, and finally slowly came back to his senses. Van Xi shook his head, "Obviously, they were fooled. ”

"Tell me about it?" Peggy looked at Fansi's reliable appearance, and a smile finally appeared in her eyes.

"The walls and gates are damaged, but they are not broken. In my experience, this fortress was not knocked down by him, but rather deliberately abandoned by the enemy. ”

The analysis made sense, and Peggy couldn't help but nod, "It seems that the enemy is very cunning." ”

Van Si kicked Aro, who was lying on the ground, "This kid didn't see that this castle was a trap, and stupidly got into it and thought he had done a great job. So he relaxed his vigilance, and as a result, the whole army was poisoned. ”

Peggy clapped her hands in admiration, "General Fancy has a lot of experience, and it really benefited me a lot to travel with you." ”

"Miss Peggy has won an award." Fansi sighed, "But at the moment, we can't unravel this kind of black magic. ”

Peggy laughed, "Maggie has stolen the dark arts and failed to solve them, so you don't need to blame yourself." ”

"Maybe there's another way." Fan Xi suddenly said, "This kind of black magic doesn't seem to be deadly, and I think the enemy may have plans to come back." ”

If deadly black magic had been used, there would have been thousands of carrion corpses lying around the fortress by now. At that time, it will not only lead to a plague rampant, but may also attract demonic beasts to entrench here. And now these soldiers have just lost their combat effectiveness, and as long as an elite force comes, they can quickly recapture Fort Heather.

Peggy asked, "What is the chance?" ”

Fanxi's gaze slowly fell on Aro, "Just ask him." ”

The two soldiers behind him immediately understood, stepped forward to set up Aro, and punched him. The two soldiers were not poisoned, their fists were harder and heavier than those soft-footed soldiers, and after a few punches, Arrow was already dying.

"Would you like to have a conversation with me?" Fancy asked.

Ah Luo coughed a few times in pain, and said weakly: "We have agreed with the Red Pavilion for ten days......"

.

On a clear night, Lydia finally led her men from Greystone Fort and slowly drove towards Heather.

Buxiao deployed men and horses overnight, and first ordered the young man and Mira to lead 500 men to garrison the Greystone Fort and train all the newly recruited private soldiers; Fili, Danica, Grimm, and Finks were also arranged to go to Bitterwater to protect the proprietress and prepare to rebuild Bitterwater; He took Lydia and led twenty cavalry straight to Heather to investigate the situation.

Harold had just asked to join the Red Pavilion and said that he had fifty cavalry in his party willing to go with him. Lydia knew he wanted to show off his strength in front of no smile, so she agreed.

This trip did not require the cavalry to gallop at full strength, but required regular rest and recuperation to conserve physical strength. On the one hand, Buxiao speculated that there would be a fierce battle, and on the other hand, there were two carriages mixed in the team.

Aksai's physical condition was not ideal, and he could only ride in a horse-drawn carriage.

As for why you take a carriage without laughing...... Lydia couldn't figure it out at all, but in retrospect, he had never ridden any mounts.

"Lydia, get ready to park." Suddenly, there was a non-smiling voice in the carriage, and Lydia raised her gun to signal the whole team to slow down. The knights turned into rest formations and gradually came to a halt in the desert.
