As soon as they heard that they were going to test, many psionic scholars and warriors began to murmur in their hearts. Attacks launched in the city could hardly interfere with the opponent. However, a bold psionic master ventured out of the city to test, but his body was instantly wiped out. , and even the soul.
There is only a little echo of thought dedicated to the artifact. Unless a new artifact is born in the future, the soul will never be reshaped.
Currently, there are quite a few echoes of thoughts preserved in the twelve artifacts of Zhamdas, and even if a new artifact is born, it may not be that person's turn.
This is still a psychic master. If he is just an ordinary scholar or warrior, he cannot even leave any echo of his thoughts. If he dies, he is really dead.
Psionic magic is determined by one's own idealism, and those who choose psychic powers have a self-centered and idealistic heart.
It is okay for the outside world to dedicate themselves to the outside world, but if they want to dedicate themselves to the outside world, if they are not bound by the idealistic oath when spiritual energy is awakened, I am afraid that most people will not have such awareness.
Not to mention, the oath itself has a clause about not making unnecessary sacrifices, which further encourages the fear of scholars and warriors.
After all, not everyone can face the fate of death calmly.
Bugif noticed everyone's expressions and was very dissatisfied, but he didn't show it on his face, but he had decided to have a serious argument with them after this battle.
Why was it that when fighting against the Calishans, everyone was more active than anyone else, but now they are just being attacked by a northern barbarian, and they are shrinking back and showing no intention to fight!
Forget about being a scholar, what does it mean to be a warrior? Since you have chosen the way of fighting, you should risk your life and raise your fighting spirit to the limit. This is the orthodox path to advance as a warrior.
Is this the "fall" that the Antiochians often refer to?
Bugif has no time to think about all this right now. He just wants to know when the support from the rear will arrive. Judging from the fact that the enemy attacks almost non-stop and requires the full protection of the artifact every time, such an attack is far away. Far from the enemy's limit.
Although he sincerely looked down on those barbarians other than Zhamdas who only played with the magic net rigidly, he could not pretend not to see how powerful the enemy was this time.
"Hey, when did the barbarians become so powerful! The world is changing too fast!"
For the first time, Bugif began to seriously think about the new psionic concept proposed by the Anti School to coexist equally with other magic systems, but he only started to think about it when he was interrupted by the constant warnings of the artifact.
…
Floating city, central control area, 102 control room.
While Fisher was communicating with the secret lock and completing various instructions given by Niya, he still had some time to hesitate and hesitated with his companions, "What is the situation now? Didn't you say that Zhamdas is from a big country in the south? Why can't he even fight back? Don’t you dare?”
"Don't be distracted. They have counterattacked a long time ago, but they were blocked by the Mystic Lock. When it comes time to use us to deal with the opponent's counterattack, the floating city will fall."
Compared to foreign mages such as Fisher, who had recently joined the Tower of Time, Aiboike, as an old man of the Tower of Time and an arcanist, naturally had access to more information about the Mystery Lock.
Even in this temporary operation, Aibo's authority far exceeded that of Fisher and the others.
The exchange in the 102 control room was just a small episode. In the control room next door where Sha Duo was located, Sha Duo had already decided to give the city below the fate of ending.
The information about the realistic foundation of the city barrier below has been collected almost, and it will only be studied slowly in the future. If it is delayed anymore, when all aspects of Zhamdas' war will gather, I am afraid that it will not be able to end with just one battle. .
The biggest problem in any war is not how to start it, but how to end it.
Thinking of this, Sha Duo immediately began to control the floating city to rise and "warm up" the jump system. At the same time, he also gave Niya the latest instructions:
"Continue to pay attention to the surrounding area and prepare to return to the southern border. But don't relax your vigilance after returning. Everyone in 102 takes turns. Aibo and Fisher, the first shift, are responsible for monitoring all changes around the floating city, especially those related to territorial personnel. "
The scariest thing about psionic energy is actually not the arbitrary spell effects, but the powerful ability to control the mind. A psionic mage does not need to face the battlefield directly. Just burying a few nails inside the enemy is enough to give the enemy a headache.
But Shado didn't regret provoking Jamdas. In fact, it was Jamdas who provoked him first. As long as the hit hurt the opponent this time, he wouldn't have to worry about them for quite some time.
Of course, necessary internal protection is inevitable. It is impossible to place all hopes on the enemy's rationality!
Psionics are almost naturally insulated from rationality. Xia Duo hopes that all the preparations he makes are redundant, rather than waiting until something happens and then regretting it. (Idealism is also divided into objective and subjective)
…
Xia Duo's will wandered around the Mystic Lock control interface for a long time. He thought he had done all the mental preparation before the war started, but when it came to the final push of destruction, he still hesitated.
Although the city below is shrouded by a barrier, the situation inside the city cannot be directly detected, but a large amount of information can be obtained indirectly.
Xia Duo could see the ignorant and hesitant civilians below, the angry and fanatical apprentices, and a few worried scholars and warriors. In such a city, it could be said that most of them knew nothing about his attack.
Do we really want to destroy them indiscriminately?
Although Shado has a thousand reasons to convince himself that he must teach Jamdas a painful lesson, he can also give himself a thousand reasons to convince himself to let go of those ignorant or innocent civilians, even from a rational perspective angle.
Human nature is more complex than this.
Xia Duo didn't know if the pilot who dropped the little boy and the fat man had any hesitation at the moment of takeoff, but he really hesitated now.
"Niya——"
Xia Duo's original intention was to let Niya persuade him again to complete the final psychological construction. Whether he was hypocritical or true, he did think so.
But he didn't expect that Niya said very puzzledly: "Didn't you say you were going to return to the South? Why are you still testing them? Is this the limit of the Annihilating Light?"
"..."
Xia Duo couldn't help but laugh at himself. Under his influence, Niya did have more recognition of ordinary people, but for now, that was limited to the Nese people, or to be more specific - only the southern region that she was more familiar with. people.
As for the Zamdas, what are they?
"You are so curious about the true power of the Annihilating Light! But it's not possible yet. The height of the floating city is too low. I'm worried that it will affect the normal operation of the jump system."
"Then hurry up and rise!"
"Yeah." Xia Duo silently increased the speed of the floating city's ascent.
When he was about 20 miles away from the ground, Xia Duo did not perform any special rituals, and directly activated the light of annihilation at a medium to high energy level without even telling Niya.
The attack focused on Toxent City directly below, but even Shado himself could not determine the scope of its impact. After all, he had not done any annihilation experiments with similar energy levels.
After activating the light of annihilation, Xia Duo's mood instantly became peaceful, but then an invisible pressure surged into his heart, which was difficult to relieve.
