Chapter 2010 The real face, Xia Duo enters the field
First, the magic network in the surrounding area quickly became orderly, and then the small forest hidden in the fortress was quickly bulldozed by a sudden and unknown powerful force.
A huge fortress with a complicated structure when viewed from the outside appeared in the center of the area where the forest was originally located.
Below the fortress is a square platform foundation that gradually shrinks upwards and has very distinctive characteristics of ancient Arivanda. Based on preliminary estimates from the data detected by Xia Duo, the bottom side is at least one mile long and nearly a hundred meters high.
The platform looks like a large square with many functional buildings, the most eye-catching of which is the suspended platform extending outward from the south of the square and the towering golden spire in the center.
Xia Duo noticed that a group of spellcasters whose faces could not be seen clearly were gathered on the suspended platform. Their spellcasting fluctuations echoed the golden spire, and there was an invisible force that rapidly changed the shape of all the magic network strings along the way, heading south.
It extends far into the distance.
It was also because of this that Xia Duo discovered where the main force of Ye Erlan was. It was actually not far from the Fortress of Adolfel. This is easy to understand. The casting distance of a spellcaster is limited. Although the range of spells can be extended almost infinitely, the casting distance is not that far away.
The further away the source point is, the more difficult it is for the caster to control the details of the spell.
This is like a person holding a long pole to poke a small point. The longer the pole, the harder it is to control. If there is the slightest error on one end of the person's hand, the other end will be amplified accordingly.
This is a conventional battle, and only the result of the spell is needed, so it doesn't matter if you are farther away. Once the spell is completed, you don't have to worry about it. If it involves spell confrontation, the farther the distance, the lower the error tolerance.
In this case, the caster often needs to be close to the battlefield, or even at the core of the war.
The main force of Yeerlan's spell casters is in a small agricultural town on the plain south of the Adolfel Fortress. Of course, that small town has been occupied by Yeerlan, and even some of the facilities in the city are used as spellcasting aids.
The current situation is that Yeerlan's main force has been locked by Sluvende. If nothing happens, except for the high-ranking mage, basically none of the other wizards who assist in spellcasting will be able to leave.
To be able to cooperate with a high-level mage or operate a war weapon, you must at least be an elite mage. The standard for Netheril Arcane Federation is a high-level mage of level 10 or above.
Compared to Netheril, the senior mage is the archmage or the senior arcanist.
The loss of such a group of elite and even senior mages, for Ye Erlan, even if it does not break his bones, it will at least cause pain to his heart.
Maybe some future high mage will die young now.
Xia Duo knew that this war was still going on, and now that various countries had decided to intervene, since there was already an occupied area in the south to argue with, Ye Erlan would most likely choose to end the war even if he did not want to, but only if he did not suffer too much loss.
If these elite mages were lost here, Ye Erlan might have to insist on continuing the war even if they bite the bullet.
It remains to be seen how determined countries will be to intervene by then.
This is obviously inconsistent with Sha Duo's plan, so even if Sha Duo is extremely reluctant, for the sake of the overall situation, it is necessary to prevent Sluvende's counterattack from causing too much damage to Yeerlan.
As long as the loss is not big, you can sit down and talk slowly. As long as you can talk, the demon's plan will most likely be severely damaged.
A group of beings who have been labeled as alien for thousands of years want to change everything, even if it is not to change history, but just to change the attitude of the northern elves. Without some extremely special coincidences, it is probably difficult to hope.
In other words, as long as Xia Duo can keep the Northland Alliance under control, even if the demons are finally allowed to legally exist, this is what they deserve.
Just from his own heart, Xia Duo does not reject the demons themselves, and even has a certain sympathy. As long as they don't want to change history and destroy the world, it doesn't matter whether they have demons or not.
As for the competition between magic systems or "bad money drives out good money", Xia Duo has confidence in himself, or if the demon's magic system really shows unparalleled superiority, then changing the sect may not be an option.
For Xia Duo, magic is a new thing. There has never been a certain magic system that is orthodox. Whichever has more advantages and potential, then naturally choose which one without any psychological burden.
In other words, this is the scientific view of development.
…
"Let me see the power of Arivanda Fortress!"
Seeing that the mysterious third party that suddenly appeared in the team was easily captured alive by Sluvende's side, Xia Duo knew that it was Ye Erlan's turn to be the main force next.
But after all, Ye Erlan can be regarded as the dominant force in the North, so he is not without any resistance! Sha Duo wants to see the performance of Ye Erlan's spellcasters under adversity. This will become an important indicator for him to measure Ye Erlan's potential combat power.
In addition, the next thing he has to do is to confront Ye Erlan after all. If he gives a favor first, it will be easier to talk later. If he wants to earn favors, he must choose to appear when the other party is in the most critical situation.
Otherwise, how can one show the value of human kindness?
Having said that, Shado had already activated the jump system of the floating city. At first, he was planning to enter the battlefield directly. For this reason, he also specially chose a place in the etheric plane that was more closely connected with the main plane.
But the current full recovery of Adolfel Fortress still makes him a little wary, so directly entering the battlefield is no longer the best option.
As for how to intervene, Xia Duo didn't have much particularity. He first separated the floating city from the etheric plane, returned to a certain sea area in the main plane, and then teleported within the plane.
Compared with the huge presence of the floating city's flight control system, teleportation is no longer a big movement, it can even be said to be pitifully small.
In fact, when Shado's floating city appeared on the main plane, many priests at the Northland Alliance headquarters were frantically looking for the superiors behind them.
"There are a large number of intensive super-magic incidents in the western sea area, which is suspected to be an invasion by foreign enemies!"
The main plane is not the only one, nor is it the highest. It is just a slightly larger and livable plane. This is not only the consensus of Nese mages, but also the consensus of most elf mages.
Since the main plane can travel, sightsee, and even explore and conquer the so-called secondary planes, why can't other more powerful material planes conquer the main plane in turn?
But this is really a mistake.
The flight control system of the floating city designed by Xia Duo will regularly apply a suspension spell to the floating city according to the flight height, ensuring that it has at least one chance to levitate before falling, so that it can land smoothly. (Levitation will reconstruct the inertia when it lands.
It was too late to levitate a second ago)
The higher you fly, the less frequently the levitation spell will be automatically activated; correspondingly, the lower you fly, the more frequently automatic levitation will be activated.
This is just levitation. The flight control system also includes other spells for attitude control. When actually triggered, if calculated based on the specific number of spells or the volume involved, the relevant data will be several times more.
Moreover, although the location where he appeared this time was above the sea, it was not very high (refer to the free fall time calculation, a height of 1 kilometer needs to be refreshed every 14 seconds). Judging from the size of the floating city,
It almost sticks to the sea.
This made the flight control system need to be triggered frequently, and when he appeared on the main plane, he immediately started teleporting in the direction of Sluvende without any delay.
Due to the huge size of the floating city, Xia Duo chose short-distance high-frequency transmission with a higher safety factor instead of directly arriving near the battlefield.
But compared to the short range of an individual spellcaster, the floating city is still vastly different. With just one click, he is out of the sea area, and with another click, he is within the effective range of [Wide Area Restriction] on the Spine of the World.
If Shado was willing, he could help Elfaran completely eliminate the threat of the orcs now, but he was too lazy to do this kind of thing that was not laborious but not rewarding.
