Of course, a senior mage's ability to deal with external risks is far inferior to that of a senior mage, but with the relationship between Larian and Shado, wouldn't it be safer to let Shado take care of it? It's not a big deal anyway.
But Larian did not let Xia Duo take care of his son. Instead, he used his own favors to ask Xia Duo to take care of Elder Devin's son. Although they were all taking care of each other, because the objects of care were different, the consumption of favors was also completely different.
Shado also has a relationship with Larian's son, and providing him with a certain amount of care actually doesn't cost any favors at all, it's just a matter of convenience.
But Candela and Shado had not even met each other before this incident, and they did not have a deep friendship with Elder Devin. They were more of an official cooperation with Everesca.
But his cooperation with Everriska was basically a win-win situation, and Everriska even won more, which made it unnecessary for him to care too much about his personal relationship with Elder Everriska.
With Larian, that was the beginning of cooperation. If Larian hadn't been the matchmaker, maybe——
Xia Duo found other elders, and it didn't necessarily have to be Larian, but in the process of continuing to interact, the friendship was real.
So this time he agreed to the other party's request, not only because it was requested by Larian, an old friend, but even though he was reluctant to admit it, Elder Devin was indeed one of the factors that Sha Duo considered.
After all, Elder Devin may not be able to accomplish anything, but he can definitely do bad things. As long as Shado needs to deal with Everesca in the future, Elder Devin will never be able to get around him.
…
The subsequent contact with Candela went very smoothly, and there were no problems, such as refusing to accept orders or simply disappearing.
Candela's attitude was quite humble, but he also repeatedly confirmed many details of the mission. After Shado briefly explained it, he asked him to wait for other teammates to gather in Everesca's teleportation hall.
Soon, everything was arranged on Doom's side. There were a total of twelve elite mages, most of whom were from Everesca. Perhaps Doom considered the issue of cooperation with Candela.
None from Erland.
Shado couldn't say anything about Doom's choice, but he also felt that something was wrong. Before setting off, he called two elite mages from Erlan to join Candela and the others.
…
North of Yeerland, Tanzania Peak.
The Riven River flows east from the foot of the mountain, and a little further east is Denzo's surface city of Ascor, where a secret stronghold of the Moonshadow family is hidden.
Shado had not tracked the escape of the Moon Shadow family when he was in Tevi Mansa before, but how could such a big movement like the portal not leave any traces?
Combined with Carano's memory, Shado can basically determine that the destination of the Yueying family's escape at that time was a secret stronghold on the Tanzan Peak.
As for whether there will be a transfer in the future, he thinks it is possible, but the Illuminati should have no time to worry about it at the moment. If the Moon Shadow family transfers on their own, there is a high probability that they will go to a secret stronghold known to Carano.
Of course, it's possible to go to a place that Carano doesn't know about, but with such a big family like the Moon Shadow family, there's no way they won't be able to leave any traces behind.
Daphne may not be there to help cover it up this time.
"Candra, keep the team on alert and go to the location shown on the map." Sha Duo issued instructions in the command network.
At the same time, Kandela and other operators were also synchronized with the forward situation detected by Yongle City. Tanzania Peak is located in the north of Yeerlan, but strictly speaking it is no longer within the territory of Yeerlan.
Yerlan Misuo does not have much influence in this area. There are only some scattered supply points and observation stations along the Ruiwen River. Sha Duo has already said hello in advance.
In this case, of course, Xia Duo directly let the floating city go. There was no need to drive the floating city to Tanzan Peak. In the absence of other interference, [Wide Area Detection] was enough to cover this area.
Even if you don't consider Yeerlan's ideas, it is possible to directly use [Light of Annihilation] to erase the Tanzan Peak from the map of the Northland.
Of course, even if Yeerlan's thoughts are not taken into account, direct destruction is not the best option. Unless it can be proven that the wise men of the Illuminati are within the range of Tanzania Peak, we should try our best to capture them alive.
And judging from the transcendent ability that Daphne showed in Tevi Mansa before, Shado doubted whether the light of annihilation could kill the opponent.
[Light of Annihilation] No matter how efficient and fast it is, there is still a process, and it is impossible to completely turn the area beyond Tanzan Peak into nothingness in an instant.
In fact, the shorter the time, the greater the power required, the longer the preparation time required, and the greater the impact after the strike.
In this case, unless there was 100% certainty that Daphne could be killed with one blow, it would be impossible for Shado to make such a big move on the border of Erlan.
Sending a team of mages to investigate nearby and wait for opportunistic actions may be the only option at the moment.
…
Almost a quarter of an hour later, Candela stopped the team's progress, and reported to Sha Duo in his consciousness in the command network: "Advisor Sha Duo, we have arrived at the predetermined area. In front of us is the secret barrier you marked. The relevant information has been synchronized. Please
Indicate next steps."
"Take out the guidance weapon and provide precise strike coordinates." Xia Duo ordered calmly.
In fact, if there are enough high-level mages in Yongle City at this moment, he does not need Candela to provide precise strike coordinates. He can obtain them through [Wide Area Detection] and then strike simultaneously.
But now, he is the only one in Yongle City, and he can only control and apply [Wide Area Detection] very superficially, and cannot meet the requirements of precise strike at all.
This is like flying an aircraft carrier alone. Perhaps he knows how to use all the functions of the aircraft carrier and can use them skillfully, but can one person lock on to a distant target and then carry out accurate strikes?
It's basically impossible. It can't be operated at all. It still requires the cooperation of many people.
According to Xia Duo's idea, if you want to effectively unleash the war potential of the war spells carried by Yongle City, you will need at least a hundred high-level mages, and a full complement of more than 500 will be needed!
Unfortunately, such a requirement is probably difficult to meet in a short period of time. Generally, people are temporarily called in from the Tower of Time when needed to meet a lower war state.
If you want to maintain the full-time standby status of five hundred high-level mages, I'm afraid it will take a long time.
But now, having used [Wide Area Detection], Shado still needs Candela to guide [Light of Annihilation] nearby to carry out precise strikes.
After all, he still wanted to catch people alive, instead of just firing the "map cannon" to wipe out all of Tanzan Peak.
