After the Northland Alliance was established, Shado could almost expect that even if Akaula did not ask for help from other members of the alliance, Ilfarang would definitely take the initiative to provide assistance!
Ilfaran has come to help, and Netheril will definitely not miss it. On the one hand, it is a check and balance on Cormanthor, and on the other hand, it can be regarded as a group to keep warm.
As for the west of Netheril, Eerlan is almost the only one. Not only does it have the vassal state of Sluvend, but even the home country of Sharven, its original founder, can only survive on its own.
Originally, there were many elven tribes and even small countries in this area, but unfortunately, they all became food for Ye Erlan in the process of growing.
That is, Sruvand and Salvan, the former is larger, and the latter was not completely conquered due to historical reasons.
In the central garden of the Sun Courtyard, several Elfaran elves hinted almost unabashedly to the Netherese group that they could make use of Sruvend and Sharven in the future.
After the Northland Alliance was established, theoretically all the participating countries were equal to each other. So, would Sruvend, who had not given up the inheritance of his country after being defeated for thousands of years, not want to seek true independence?
As for Salvin, will he be worried about the situation where the country may be destroyed at any time? Wouldn’t you like to have a safer surrounding environment?
I must have thought about it!
…
As for the south, in fact, whether it is Netheril, Bethmore, or the newly established Irusk, there is not much idea.
All we know is that there is an ancient elven kingdom in the south that survived the Crown War like Ilfaran - Katemir.
Moreover, compared to the time when all the top leaders of Ilfaran were wiped out, now the Second Kingdom was only established by the civilians at that time. Katemir, who retains more power, will undoubtedly be stronger.
In this regard, Ilfaran provided more information——
"Katemir is much stronger than Cormanthor and Yeerlan. If there weren't many big countries in the south, fighting and containing each other, perhaps Kedemir would have launched a war of conquest in the north."
From the mouth of a senior mage in Ilfarang, Shado finally learned about the latest situation of the four southern countries' war.
The Elf Kingdom of Ketmir, the Dwarf Kingdom of Sanata, and the Human Empires of Calimshan and Zhamdas, just pick two, and they are all in a hostile state.
Of course, sometimes alliances will be formed occasionally in order to gain an advantage over the other side of the battlefield, but overall there will be more fighting and less cooperation.
Among them, Shado is more concerned about the two human empires-Calimshan and Zhamdas.
He knew elven magic very well. He could not have fought for such a long time with Katemir, who was stronger than Cormanthor and Erlan, without two brushes.
To some extent, the current Netheril may not be a match for those two empires of the same race.
According to the high mage Ilfaran who spoke about the southern form in the garden, of the two human empires, Calimshan is the descendant of the wind djinn on the elemental plane, and almost all the citizens have bloodline spells related to the wind element.
They are particularly good at flying and teleporting, and are extremely maneuverable. Whenever there is a war, they often use more to defeat fewer, faster to defeat slower, making the opponent unable to defend themselves.

The other Zhamdas mastered a very rare spiritual magic, and his spells were strange, with almost no warning, as if they appeared out of thin air.
Even if the magic network is restricted, it is useless, it will not be affected at all.
In addition, psionic magic has an almost cheating effect on prophecy. Any action that is not conducive to them will be known to them in advance by their psionic master.
This makes Jamdas almost the most difficult country among the four southern countries, and it is also the country with the fewest wars.
If Jhamdas can be more calm, there is a high probability that the other three countries will not take the initiative to confront them, but the reality is often——
Zhamdas is extremely aggressive and relies on prophetic magic. He will not hesitate to start a war when he sees a profit.
In addition, there are territorial disputes that cannot be abandoned.
Basically, Zhamdas has the worst reputation among the four southern countries.
Fortunately, Zhamdas's psychic prophecy can only predict things related to themselves. Otherwise, no matter how difficult they are, the other three countries in the south will definitely work together to destroy them first.
As for what kind of existence psychic magic is, the high mage of Ilfaran did not explain it in detail. He only said that it was completely different from the systems of other countries, let alone try to understand it. It was completely based on idealism.
When it came to psychic magic, the senior mage looked almost disdainful. Sha Duo could probably guess what the other person was thinking. It was just that magic based on idealism could not show superb skills at all.
There is no principle behind it, and it is almost like a barbarian.
Although elven magic attaches great importance to the resonance with the magic network and strives to create a trend of passive spell casting, without understanding the principles, it is impossible to reach the highest level of magic.
In fact, if you don't understand the principles of magic, you may not even be able to be a swordsinger, let alone a higher-status mage.
Shado speculated that psychic magic might be somewhat similar to the bard's spellcasting, but it might be even more extreme if magic nets were not needed.
Among the bards in Chateau's territory, Lawrence seemed to him to be almost entirely driven by emotions, and began to actively pursue emotions - the so-called original move.
If psychic magic is based on idealism, it will only be more extreme than this, not more peaceful. The caster will only be immersed in his own world and be incompatible with the outside world.
"Is this the real reason why Jamdas acted recklessly and profit-seekingly?"
For a moment, Sha Duo couldn't figure it out, but fortunately, Zhamdas was still a little far away from him, so he didn't have to worry about their threat in a short time.
Wait until the Micer can be nucleared out, and then develop a few matching beyond-visual-range war spells. No matter how weird his psychic magic is, it will only be the power of an individual and cannot withstand the endless attacks of beyond-visual-range spells by real war machines.
Even if the psionic masters cannot be destroyed, destroying their kingdom is still not a problem.
And if psychic spells are really determined by idealism, Shado is sure that it is almost impossible for Zhamdas to build a war machine that can compete with the Mithron energy core.
Because that means that Zhamdas needs to create a tool that has its own self and has power close to that of a god, in order to have a psychic output comparable to the output power of the Mithron core.
But is a tool like that still a tool?
Even if they choose a method similar to divine ascension to achieve such great power from a spiritual master, this is still different from true divine ascension. Will the sudden surge in spiritual power lead to an endless expansion of mentality? ?
Xia Duo was not sure.
But as long as there is such a possibility, even a slightly rational person will know how to choose.
Perhaps there are psychic masters in Zhamdas currently fighting each other over this matter!
