However, this time compared with before, in addition to the special group protection spells that were jointly cast and blessed, Sha Duo also blessed everyone with the flying spell through his own spell book.
However, he asked everyone to fly close to the ground and be ready to fall back to the ground at any time.
Now that the elves have appeared, let’s fight quickly!
Judging from Sha Duo's brief exchange with other high-level mages just now, the elves do not have an absolute advantage in numbers, although talking about the number of people fighting in the magical world is a bit of a joke.
But this also reflects to a certain extent the level of investment of the elves in this war. At least there is no scene where the mountains and fields are full of elves.
Of course, if you want a quick victory, it's not possible to rely on Xia Duo alone. He still knows the principle of shooting first, and the cooperation of other teams is necessary.
Therefore, during the process of advancing, Xia Duo would occasionally stop to contact other teams, ask others about the number of elves they encountered, and draw a simple distribution map of elves in his mind based on the positions of others.
…
"Stop!" Sha Duo suddenly issued an instruction through the spiritual link.
"Xia Duo, what's wrong?" Niya asked, "You just stopped once, why did you stop suddenly?"
Currently, except for Shado, no one in Shado's team can actively transmit information through the spiritual link, but Niya has the ability to speak while maintaining concentration.
In order to greatly reduce the amount of information coming from the spiritual link, everyone else chose to stay focused and not talk distractedly.
This is also an important reason why Xia Duo wants to win a quick victory. Human energy is limited, and staying focused cannot last long, especially for these mid-level mages who do not have enough concentration training.
Once you are unable to maintain concentration, let alone the interruption of the spiritual link, even if the requirements for joint spellcasting are low, when people are not focused, how can they talk about tacit cooperation?
However, at this time, Xia Duo stopped not to communicate with others, nor to let everyone take a break, but because he discovered something unusual.
Walking and flying all the way, although there are some deviations in the middle, it is still going straight to the target location. If the elf doesn't even react at this point, it is better to get back to the main plane as soon as possible!
Regarding Niya's question, Shado did not answer directly. Instead, he sent out different instructions through the spiritual link, such as "Vinson turn half a step to the left", "Della raised her head" and other subconscious hints that were not obvious.
By adjusting their team's overall external observation window and perception angle in this way, a large amount of repeated information flooded into Sha Duo's consciousness.
After preliminary processing by Sha Duo's own subconscious, it was sent back to others, and the feedback received was transferred to Sha Duo. After subconscious analysis, it finally reached Sha Duo's conscious mind.
After that, he explained to Niya in his mind: "The connection between the area ahead and the etheric plane has been strengthened, and at the same time, the structure of the magic network has changed significantly. Although it can still be regarded as a normal plane, it will have some effects on the transmission.
It has a great impact, I am considering whether to go in.”
"What impact?" Nia asked.
"There will be no limit to the [space jump] of those Elf Swordsingers, but we -" There is no need for Xia Duo to say what follows. The two of them had already passed their guesses about the mission objectives.
If the target is a Mystery Lock node and needs to be destroyed, it means at least that the Mystery Lock is partially in effect. If it is not a Mystery Lock node, it is at least an area that the elves are focused on guarding against.
The real situation is likely to be a combination of both, that is, it is both a mysterious node and a key point of prevention.
But no matter what, it is certain that the front area is conducive to teleportation. Although they can cast spells to limit the space jump of the elves, it will also have an impact on their own teleportation. But if there is no restriction and the elves can jump at will, wouldn't it be even more troublesome?
It’s really confusing!
In addition, changes in the structure of the magic network will also have an impact on their spellcasting. Although the essence of this plane has not changed, the past spellcasting methods can still be used.
However, the changes in the Magic Network will definitely make their past spellcasting methods incompatible with the changed Magic Network environment. There may be "resistance" or "assistance".
But no matter what happens, it will not be exactly the same as before. If there is no adaptation process, the success rate of spell casting will definitely decrease.
Without any hesitation, Xia Duo immediately shared the situation here with other teams in the support agreement and asked others if they had encountered such a situation.
But what he was waiting for was not an answer, but rescue!
"I am Joyce. I encountered an elf mage and asked for support!"
Elf mage!
Sha Duo suddenly became energetic. Whether it was his own team or other teams that he encountered before, there were only druids and swordsingers, but no mages.
He had previously thought that the elf mages were guarding the enchantment nodes, but he did not expect that they would take the initiative to attack.
"Niya!"
Without Sha Duo's instructions, Niya had already taken the initiative to cast detection spells to explore the way for Sha Duo in advance, while Sha Duo himself cast protection spells for everyone, and blessed himself with protective spells alone, and then began to pay attention to Niya who was sent back by his subconscious.
Find out the result——
At first, he felt chaos, but as Niya zoomed out, Xia Duo immediately noticed something strange on the surface. The jungle above seemed to have been shoveled away by a huge shovel, and not even a single tree could be seen!
The flat gray-black land was exposed, roughly in the shape of a regular circle.
What about Joyce?
Xia Duo was slightly confused, and Niya's perspective immediately turned in one direction. In the center of the field of vision, Joyce and his party were sitting at the foot of a big tree in embarrassment. A few steps away was the flat gray-black land.
However, although these people were in a sorry state, they still had a certain amount of protective power. Xia Duo could see that they were being protected by the spell [Protection-2-4] in the Resonance Spell Book.
This spell has super strong defense, but its shortcomings are also very obvious, that is, it cannot move, and it is almost isolated from the inside and outside, making it impossible to attack. It is simply a living target!
On the other side, across this round gray-black land, the elf wizard Joyce mentioned is right there!
There were thirteen in total, and there were also several druids and swordsingers guarding them. As for the others, Xia Duo couldn't find them immediately.
On the magical level, Joyce can only passively defend, while the elves are constantly brewing some kind of mysterious attack.
Even after several transfers, Xia Duo "saw" from Niya's detection spells the strings of the magic network below that were constantly rolling and twisting and spreading their influence, he still felt frightened.
This time, Xia Duo did not teleport immediately, but waited for other people's reactions. This is also human nature. After all, he is taking a risk for a stranger. Even if there is an agreement in advance, he will still hesitate.
