Chapter 873 Breaking the balance and defeating it head-on
As soon as the two scepters flew out from the waists of the two golden elf mages, they flew straight towards the humans. It was so obvious that the two items had been taken away, and the elves could spot it as long as they were not blind.
But at this moment, a single move can affect the whole body. Although the two golden elf mages want to snatch the scepter at all costs, as the core of joint spellcasting, they also know that once they make such a move, it will definitely affect
state of resonance.
Once the resonance state is lost, they will no longer be a whole, they will no longer have any advantage over human beings, and their failure may only occur in an instant.
Compared to this ending, losing the scepter is nothing, and they don't have the only way to escape.
But even so, the two golden elf mages still felt their hearts bleeding. At that moment, they no longer had any intention of continuing to fight. During the break between casting spells, they could not help but cast a probing look at the other companion who had not lost his scepter.
His eyes moved, and he made a decision silently.
…
On the human side, Xia Duo breathed a sigh of relief until the two scepters flew far away and were collected by a high-level mage and quickly inspected.
No matter what the final result is, having only two decent magic items is worth the trip.
As a commander and the biggest contributor to victory, no one should have any objections to having one for myself.
As for the other thing, he had already made arrangements as soon as he thought about it.
At the same time, Xia Duo also noticed the last two golden elf mages. They also had two scepters in their waists before, but after what happened just now, they had already held the scepters in their hands.
The scepter probably has the ability to instantly teleport within the range of the [Restriction Spell]. Once they are alert, it is almost impossible to take it away.
Although Xia Duo felt a little regretful, he also knew the principle of being content and giving up when things were good, so he increased the frequency of instructions in the spiritual link and intensified the suppression of the elves.
After all, the impact of losing the scepter cannot be completely non-existent, and may even be serious. As the person with the most comprehensive awareness of the overall situation, Xia Duo clearly noticed that the cooperation of the elves began to be chaotic.
The source lies in the two golden elf mages who lost their scepters.
In the beginning, there was only a slight sluggishness, which could be quickly compensated in a casting team of more than thirty casters. However, every round there was a slight sluggishness. By the next round, this sluggishness was actually magnified by more than thirty times. This
It's very obvious.
After a single spell cast was countered by multiple sets of key spell elements by a human mage, the originally delicate balance almost collapsed instantly.
For the first time, a human restrictive spell falls on the elves. This is different from the previous almost sneak attack [Break Spell-2-1], but it regains the advantage bit by bit in a head-on confrontation, and then produces a suppressive effect.
At this point, the elf has no chance of making a comeback.
——The elves are so incompetent!
Sha Duo couldn't help but convey such an idea in the spiritual link. There may be various reasons, but this is indeed a human mage head-on defeating the elves on the battlefield of life and death.
It may not be the first time, but it is absolutely upright!
It can even be said to be a model of the weak defeating the strong. Without Xia Duo, it would be almost difficult for humans to organize a coordinated attack of more than twenty people.
Not to mention the current level of cooperation between dozens of people who are mentally connected and can almost jointly cast spells.
Without Xia Duo, it would not be impossible to defeat more than thirty elf mages in jointly casting spells, but some unconventional means must be used.
Just like the powerful scepter of the elves that can be instantly teleported within the range of [Restriction Technique], Sha Duo believes that humans must also have it, at least Niya has brought it.
Like now, Xia Duo defeated the elf in a head-on confrontation without using any tricks. In his heart, he felt an unprecedented satisfaction.
He has always regarded the elves as his biggest opponents, especially his several trips to the projection plane, which allowed him to see with his own eyes the past glory of the elves.
Even though it is in decline now, there is a saying in my hometown that a broken ship still has three pounds of nails!
Whether it is from the perspective of total population or high-end power, the country of Cormanthor alone is more than better than Netheril, let alone the other elven countries!
Surrounded by the elven kingdoms, it was difficult for Shado to imagine the pressure from the great arcanists above, but he knew very well that those who fell behind would be beaten. This was an eternal truth.
This operation in the Green Plane is the first time that Shado has participated in the direct conflict between Netheril and Cormanthor. The previous snowmelt competition was more or less a show, and I don’t know.
What exactly is involved?
But this time, once humans lose, not to mention other things, at least this livable plane may not be preserved. This most intuitive benefit makes Sha Duo truly feel the pressure brought by the elves.
Or to be more precise - the pressure brought by the Elf Kingdom of Cormanthor made him feel like he was in the current of the times.
But at the same time, he also saw the potential of human beings and the potential of the Nese magic system, and this positive victory allowed him to see more possibilities in the future.
What a joy!
…
Xia Duo's joy is constantly being transmitted through the spiritual link, and is also infecting other high-level mages. However, we cannot relax our vigilance until everything settles.
It can indeed be said that we have won at present, but it is only a victory through conventional means. Now it depends on whether the elf uses extraordinary means.
Xia Duo actually had no idea about this.
He knew that Niya indeed brought a very powerful magic item, which was a 10-ring offensive magic scroll left behind by her great-grandfather, the Grand Arcanist Savile.
No one knows the specific power, but it is definitely not small.
Even Shado brought with him a dragon skin scroll "bought" from the elves who fled to the Saville Territory.
Once activated, it will immediately block teleportation, restrict flight, and at the same time summon a large range of chain lightning to attack all living creatures within the range except the user.
However, the princess did not give Niya any trump cards. Even if other high-level mages had some extraordinary means, they would all consume their own resources, so there was a sense of luck.
It is also very difficult to control and has many variables.
Just like Xia Duo's dragon skin scroll, if it was really inspired when he was with Niya, would we still bet on whether Niya could survive?
He and Niya could still consider this as a couple, but they may not have much friendship with other people. Once they need to use unconventional means to save their own lives, they won't consider the safety of others at all.
It may not necessarily be a magic scroll that attacks indiscriminately, but may also be some other means that makes it difficult for others to escape.
If you are unlucky, more people may die at the hands of your own people than at the hands of elves!
