For Xia Duo, although various countries are also using Yongle City's war spell system, and even have mages dispatched by various countries to operate it personally, it is difficult for him to interfere in the specific battle process. The only thing he can do is to refuse the war spell response.
But this is obviously not what Xia Duo wants. If it is impossible to directly intervene on the battlefield where time-related signals originate in various countries, the so-called battle on the timeline will not have much meaning.
He can't win with probability like the Illuminati. He is not Daphne, and there is not so much time and power to waste on him. What he wants is to win 100% of the time.
In this case, if he cannot directly intervene on the battlefield, why should he be 100% sure of victory?
At present, Yongle City's war spell support has been widely used in various local battlefields. It stands to reason that war spells are unstoppable, so they should have a complete victory, but the result is not always the case.
Because what determines the outcome of a battlefield is not the life and death of the combatants on both sides, but the processing of the source of time-related signals on the battlefield. If it is handled well, even if one person is not killed, it will still be considered a win.
Xia Duo feels that countries have not yet realized the significance of local battlefields, or that they have realized it, but they have not paid enough attention to it. Otherwise, how could they not accept suggestions that can increase their winning rate?
Or maybe Yongle City's war spell support made them feel that they were safe, so they became conservative. This behavior of popping champagne at halftime seemed really ridiculous to Sha Duo.
Not to mention that the alliance hasn't won yet, even if it does win, it will be nothing more than a do-over in front of the Illuminati who can manipulate the timeline.
If it doesn't work once, it can be repeated over and over again. Can the Alliance really maintain a complete victory in such a war?
That is to say, Xia Duo accidentally discovered the powerful anchoring effect of the divine messenger on the past. Otherwise, it would be a bit fanciful to achieve the final victory based on the existing strength of the alliance.
If there is no divine messenger to help anchor the past, the best outcome for the Alliance may be a tragic victory - by destroying Elam and everything related to Elam at all costs, including the underground, in this way to block the rituals of the Illuminati
.
But in this case, it may be the ending where the fog of time and space spreads all over the main plane as predicted by Xia Duo before. It’s hard to say whether this will be a tragic victory or a double defeat!
…
Victory Valley.
After concluding the discussion with the alliance representatives, Xia Duo looked at Tarafu beside him and explained:
"I'm going to go underground to personally check the traces left by the Illuminati. You stay on the ground and communicate with Uta's incarnation. If there is any news, let me know as soon as possible."
When there is a spiritual link to keep in touch with Tarafu at all times, it means that he and Uta can communicate at any time, so as to avoid wasting time like chickens and ducks talking.
Both Uta and Tarafu expressed their acceptance of this arrangement. Although such communication was a little inconvenient due to the distance between them, it just showed Shado's respect for Uta's reluctance to connect to the spiritual link.
After Tarafu told Uta the news, Uta even said in a dull voice: "Master Shaduo is a person worthy of respect!"
Similarly, Tarafu also admired Sha Duo's attitude. When he and Uta first arrived here, even with Sha Duo's advance arrangements, more than one alliance mage came to persuade him to let Uta join the alliance's command network.
.
The reason is to facilitate communication.
Originally, Xia Duo could have used justice and other reasons to force Uta to join the spiritual link, but he did not do so.
Compared with the attitude of the Alliance mages, it shows Shado's respect for them and Calimshan.
But in fact, Xia Duo did not have Tarafu, and Uta thought so well that not forcing Uta to join the spiritual link was just to eliminate variables and allow Uta to work with peace of mind.
If Uta is not an intelligent creature with self-awareness, but is a tool that anyone can use, then he will inevitably ask Calimshan to temporarily hand over the right to use the tool.
Or at least make sure that the tool is in the hands of someone he trusts, and that the process of using it is relatively transparent to him, and that the discovery cannot be concealed.
After all, people and tools are different. People have thoughts, emotions, and selfish intentions. And no one can say for sure what kind of impact it will have on the character after being transformed into an elemental creature.
In this case, it is naturally better to do less than to do more.
It's nothing more than multiple translators during communication. No matter how big a deal it is, if the real big deal is delayed because of entanglement on this matter, it will be extremely fatal.
Xia Duo has always focused on the big and let go of the small. As long as he does not violate his principles and does not cross the bottom line, he is willing to give full respect and understanding to anyone. The current situation is just a manifestation of his usual style of doing things.
…
Soon, Xia Duo cast a spell and transformed into earth and stone. In fact, it was an alternative incarnation of the earth element. In the earth and stone environment, it was like the water element in the water environment. It was no different from his own home.
Of course, even if you want to conduct detection in your own home, you must have the appropriate capabilities.
It is like the surface of the earth in the life of a human mage, but it is not possible to directly see scenes outside the field of vision with the naked eye, or perceive information outside its own perception dimension.
On the surface, there are surface detection spells. Similarly, underground, there are also detection spells that are more suitable for underground earth and rock environments.
It's a pity that Xia Duo has limited knowledge in this area, otherwise he wouldn't have asked for earth elemental creatures to help inspect the Elan underground.
Under Uta's guidance, Sha Duo traveled almost in a straight line underground, and in less than half an hour, he arrived at a crack in the dark area more than ten miles underground, while Uta's body was waiting beside him.
Earth elemental creatures have no substance underground, but exist in an almost field-like form, controlling all earth elements and their manifestations within the corresponding range according to their strength.
Similar to how Sha Duo incarnates in the water and controls the water, he was not surprised not to see Uta next to the crack in the dark area, because Uta was everywhere around him at this time.
Xia Duo did not rush to communicate with Uta, but first approached the crack and made a brief inspection, and then asked Uta through Tarafu:
"It's a very clever disguise, how did you discover it?"
Soon Uta also replied to Xia Duo through Tarafu: "Although the disguise here is almost perfect in appearance and aura, I am already an elemental creature, and the perception dimension is not the same as that of flesh and blood creatures. As long as it is a little deeper,
, I can clearly perceive the false side of the earth element in that area."
I see!
The reason why Xia Duo was able to discover that there was a camouflage here was mainly because Uta had reminded him first. It was relatively simple to find faults beforehand. If he hadn't been told that there was a camouflage here, he would have had to check it inch by inch to find out.
