Unrestricted warfare is not something that only humans on earth can think of. Even in this magical world, the possibility of unrestricted warfare is higher than on earth.
After all, every high mage or grand arcanist who is alive and comparable to nuclear weapons has his own emotions. Once they are in place, anything can happen.
On Earth, people tend to make collective decisions and are relatively rational, especially when it comes to weapons of mass destruction such as nuclear weapons, or certain war actions that exceed the normal bottom line.
Usually there will be a group that comes out to make decisions together, even if it is only in a formal sense.
This avoids arbitrariness and suddenness, and actually reduces a lot of conflicts.
Of course, in this magical world, as long as the human Grand Arcanist or the Elf High Mage, who is the body of the "nuclear weapon", remains rational, there will basically be no sudden accidents.
If it really happened, then there was nothing Xia Duo could do. For him now, it was completely force majeure, and there was no way to calculate it, and there was no need to calculate it.
If he had even prepared the reaction and countermeasures of the high mage, and it was accurate and appropriate, then what would those great arcanists think?
Xia Duo didn't think about those unrealistic things at all. At this moment, he only had one goal in mind, which was to keep all these ten elf mages.
As for the future, take away as many elf mages as you can. There are not many opportunities to kill elves in an honest way.
…
During the spiritual link, Xia Duo continuously issued new instructions based on the real-time positions of each team on the battlefield.
——Mage Rodit, [Protection-2-4], the target has been updated.
——Mage Dart, [Protection-2-4], the target has been updated.
…
Several high-level mages who later led a team of mid-level mages quickly began to jointly cast [Protection-2-4] in the Resonance Spell Book under Sha Duo's instructions, a prohibition spell equivalent to 8 rings, specifically used to block
Transmit.
In addition to the elf mage, the target also covers a large area centered on them, including Wyatt and others!
But this doesn’t matter!
Almost at the moment when the restraining spell came, the dozen or so high-level mages who had been nearby and had been held down by Sha Duo had already counterattacked the elf mage's spells individually under Sha Duo's instructions.
Although Xia Duo doesn't know much about elven magic, he has no problem trying to counter it, especially in the [Projection Plane·Dark Area], where he has specially received various assassination trainings against elven mages.
Although spell confrontation does not play a major role in the training, and it is only used to assist assassination, it is there. With Xia Duo's magical attainments, it is not difficult to make various plans for the Nese magic version.
This is also one of the reasons for Xia Duo to participate in the joint operation of the Seven Towers, or the official "plane war". As for the incarnation of the shadow, don't use it if you can.
After all, Netheril is quite sensitive when it comes to shadow assassins.
At this time, although there were only a dozen high-level mages, this was already the limit of Sha Duo's command.
Unlike other teams that jointly cast spells, it is at most difficult in terms of information processing. There is not much difference between actually commanding and dragging the mouse while playing a game.
But these dozen high-level mages are all "true executors" selected by Sha Duo based on the strength of everyone's execution of his instructions. In game terms, each of them requires Sha Duo's extreme micro-management.
Even if you just take a step forward or observe the status of the magic network from a certain angle, you must consider it very carefully.
In particular, Xia Duo needed these dozen high-level mages to counterattack in a discrete state, interfere with the elf mages' spellcasting, and achieve an overall unified state.
It is somewhat similar to the forced joint casting before, but these dozen high-level mages themselves are indeed independent. There is no need to force the same spell source point, and the error tolerance rate will be much higher.
But even so, this matter occupied a large part of Xia Duo's consciousness.
This part is not suitable to be dealt with subconsciously, after all, it is the front line of the battle.
Although there is almost no delay in the spiritual link, it will definitely take time for the information to be fed back from the front line, to him to think about countermeasures, to feed back the instructions, and then to the front line to execute the instructions.
The specific instructions must be conveyed by the superficial consciousness. After all, the other party cannot accept subconscious information. In order to reduce the time for the transformation between the subconscious and superficial consciousness, Xia Duo will use the superficial consciousness to process almost everything that can be processed with the superficial consciousness.
In addition, the dozen or so high-level mages themselves were almost very thorough in their execution, so they could barely keep up with the sudden changes in the elf mages' spellcasting.
——Essers, advance 4, casting elements 1-ΞΩΟΣ, 2-ΛΙΠ, 3-ΩΨ, 4-Π, abnormal point in front of the target on the left.
——Frost, Advance 2, the casting elements have been updated, and the target has been updated.
…
In this world covered by magic nets, whenever a spell is cast, even if the arcanist casts a spell using a miniature magic net after unfolding his own arcane fire, it will definitely have an impact on the normal outside magic net environment.
The influence is mutual, affecting the external magic network can also affect spell casting. This is also the origin of [Spell Countermeasure]!
Compared with the simple and crude [Dispel Spell] that forcibly suppresses the magic network, [Spell Countermeasure] is undoubtedly more skillful and is simply the art of spell casting.
Because it is not a specific spell, but a method of adapting to different spells, which reveals the caster's deep understanding of the principles of spells, the nature of the magic network, and superb spell-casting abilities.
It is almost impossible for ordinary mages to use [Counter Spell] to fight spells.
However, Xia Duo is not an ordinary mage. Regardless of his level, at least he is also an arcanist who is proficient in the principles of magic. This alone surpasses countless ordinary mage.
Not to mention, there are many insights from the projection plane and even the earth, giving him a knowledge reserve and depth of thinking that far exceeds that of an ordinary mage.
At this moment, under the guidance of Sha Duo, only a dozen high-level mages suppressed the elf mages. Of course, this was under the premise that Wyatt and others still resisted tenaciously and the large-scale restraint spell came.
Contrary to Xia Duo's expectation, even at this time, the elf mages still did not consider retreating, which really puzzled him.
But now that the matter has come to this, it is like an arrow on the string that has to be fired, not to mention that this situation, for the time being, is still beneficial to Xia Duo.
All he can do now is to intensify his suppression.
No matter what ideas those elves have or what back-ups they have, it will be all meaningless to Xia Duo if they are not shown. He cannot be timid just because these elves have some back-ups.
Even if he were present in person, he wouldn't be able to do it, let alone if he was just commanding remotely, it wouldn't be possible.
