Previously, Luo Wei was attacked by negative energy and lost his ability to cast spells because of the elves' raid on the headquarters of the Arcane Federation, so he inevitably thought of psychic magic.
But Shado believes that the magic system in the hands of others is too dangerous, and Luo Wei was once a senior arcanist and a student of Iolum. If he becomes an enemy in the future, no matter what the final outcome is, it will inevitably make people sad. .
So he took Luo Wei back to the Tower of Time and stuffed it into the stasis room on the pretext that he had a solution. Of course, Sha Duo didn't lie. It just involved a resurrection spell. He was not going to get Luo Wei out in a short time. .
The same goes for Niya's father, but for Epps, Xia Duo is more concerned about not wanting to have a dictating elder above him. It would be awkward for both parties to meet, so it is better to ask the other party to stay in the stasis room for a while first, and This can be regarded as extending life in disguise.
…
Sha Duo's first goal in this revenge operation is to destroy one of the twelve artifacts.
The so-called "artifacts" were not actually created by gods, but were created by outstanding psychic masters in Zhamdas over the past few thousand years, mainly for psychic enlightenment.
It took thousands of years to create only twelve pieces. You can imagine how precious they are, and only such precious treasures can make the other party feel heartbroken.
Sha Duo's second goal is to kill a large number of elite spell casters. In fact, this goal and the first goal are combined. The location of the artifact will naturally inevitably gather a large number of elite spell casters. Even if the artifact cannot be destroyed by then, it will You can clean up some psionic mages by the way.
Finally, the third goal is to eliminate as many living forces as possible, even civilians!
This is the last resort that must be used when the first two goals cannot be completed. In other words, Sha Duo will not give up the first two goals because of the possibility of accidentally injuring a large number of civilians.
Just like the end of World War II on Earth, if the "Little Boy" and the "Fat Man" chose to attack purely military units in order to avoid civilian casualties, I am afraid it would not have such a good deterrent effect.
Since it is necessary to shock, then naturally it must be as terrifying as possible. Otherwise, once the other party feels that it can bear the price, the follow-up will be endless testing of the bottom line.
After clarifying the goal of this trip, it was not difficult for Xia Duo to make a choice.
Soon, Niya sent him the feedback results of [Wide Area Detection]. There were a total of twelve highlighted areas, corresponding to the storage locations of Zhamdas's twelve psychic artifacts.
A large number of towns are scattered in all directions with twelve main cities as the center, and those twelve main cities are distributed from west to east on both sides of the river from Deep Lake to Falling Star Sea.
At this time, the closest to Shado should be Toxent, one of the twelve main cities. In the feedback of [Wide Area Detection], the highlighted area is particularly eye-catching.
The so-called "highlighting" is not only the detection of population density by [Wide Area Detection], but also the detection of the degree of change of the magic network - or the degree of concentration of extraordinary power.
Almost all of Zhamdas' extraordinary power is concentrated in the twelve main cities and the major satellite towns nearby, and the further areas are basically just the lowest-level farming areas.
…
As the height of the floating city continued to descend, the expression on Xia Duo's face became more and more solemn. He knew very well that a large number of civilians would die because of him. Now that the time had come, he hesitated.
"Xia Duo——"
Niya noticed Sha Duo's emotional changes, but didn't know how to comfort her. She just handed her hand to Sha Duo and held it firmly.
Feeling Niya's support, Xia Duo couldn't help but feel touched, and at the same time, because of this touch, he strengthened his determination to continue taking action!
He now represents not only himself, but also Niya, the Tower of Time, and all the countless people living under the order he established. His current revenge is not only for himself, but also for These people behind me.
When it comes to one team versus another, the line between good and evil is often not so clear-cut, stance is.
Now that the two sides are hostile, and the other side chose first, Xia Duo is just responding reciprocally, so why should he hesitate?
"Niya, notify all high-level mages to come to the central control area!"
"Knowing that you might need them, I've notified them in advance to be on standby."
Niya's answer surprised Xia Duo, but also deeply gratified him. Then he asked Niya to teleport six high-level mages including Aibo Ke and Depak to the central control area.
And he himself personally asked Savile, his biggest helper, to come and help. After everyone arrived, Sha Duo briefly introduced the incident of his previous attack, and then mentioned the purpose of calling them here:
"In response, I am going to launch a revenge operation, and the target is Toxent City, which is the most northwest of Zhamdas and is the closest to us at the moment.
"You don't need to participate in frontal battles. The floating city is the best combat weapon. Your task is to cooperate with Niya to locate, lock and even restrict the enemy's elite spellcasters.
"If you have any questions, you can ask them now, and then you just need to obey the orders!"
After Xia Duo finished speaking, everyone fell silent. No one wanted to go against an angry great arcanist at this time. Although Xia Duo was not furious, his current act of impatient revenge gave people the impression that he was furious. .
"Revenge! Revenge!"
In the end, it was Fisher and Anthony, the high-level mages recruited from Severdon, who took the lead in taking a stand and shouting slogans of revenge.
As a theoretical master who summed up the "Psychic Interference Field Equation", Sha Duo could naturally see that the performance of these people was not just pretending, but was genuinely angry for what he had experienced and urgently demanded revenge.
Xia Duo was actually not surprised by the performance of these people. Anyone who felt the order and atmosphere of the Tower of Obsolescence would be impressed by this vibrant and vigorous organization.
And it can be said that almost all of this comes from Chateau. How could Fisher and the others not be angry about this!
As for the mages from the Tower of Time, such as Ai Burke, who had more contact with Sha Duo, they showed more worry and concern. This also moved Sha Duo, because his past efforts were not in vain.
If he was an evil, oppressive ruler, could he have so many sincere supporters?
"Okay! Now let me assign tasks!"
Sha Duo first looked at Niya, "Everyone maintains the mental link. Niya, you will be the information center of the mental link and synchronize with me through the brain."
In fact, Xia Duo would rather serve as the information center, but his current state does not allow it, and he must also consider whether the turbulent flow of information in his consciousness will "infect" other people through the spiritual link.
Therefore, in order to obtain battlefield information as soon as possible, he could only choose to use the intelligent brain as an isolation layer.
