Lord of Arcane

Chapter 852 Thunder Purgatory Retreats

While Xia Duo was hesitating and watching, he also discovered other perception fields. It seemed that everyone was watching, but soon, the first supporter appeared.

It's Frost, the high-ranking mage of Gilles' Tower!

It's just that the location where he appeared seemed a little ominous. He had just appeared above the circular gray-black land, and before he had time to react, a bolt of lightning shot out of the void and hit him directly.

No one will fail to take adequate protection before supporting the teleportation. Just a flash of lightning is not enough to make a high-level mage unbearable.

But the problem is, the momentary loss of consciousness when the lightning hit made him fall directly from the sky, and before he landed, he was teleported again.

People are gone.

Supported a lonely!

Soon, Xia Duo received a message from Frost, "I just fell out of control and triggered a teleportation spell. I returned to the camp. The magic net in that area is very abnormal. It is inseparable from those elves, and they cannot complete the spell. !"

It's just that when he said these words, it was already a bit late.

Under Xia Duo's gaze, the elves completed the spell, and the violent fluctuations caused by the magic net at that moment almost dissipated Nya's perception field in the air.

And the next moment, in the distorted perception, a dense lightning bolt burst out like a rain curtain and a waterfall immediately above the round gray-black land!
The powerful energy even caused the perception field to be visually dull, as if watching a slow motion, the large number of lightning beams began to slowly gather in one direction.

In the space, a slanted giant lightning flower is formed that radiates from the branches of the roots!
It's just that the root of the lightning flower is not the source point where the lightning forks radiate and spread, but the focus where the lightning converges from other directions!

The focus was shaking violently, as if it was about to tear a big hole in the magic net, allowing endless energy to slant out.

However, the magic net cannot be torn easily, Xia Duo held his breath and watched silently.

Although it looked very slow visually, the moment he saw this scene, he already understood that the attack had been completed!
Just as the lightning focus was slowly moving towards the defensive position where Joyce and others could not move, he suddenly received a message from Joyce——

"Talancentus failed to escape! Mission failed!"

Joyce's tone was low, apart from being a bit lonely, he also had an undisguised fear and panic. Hearing this, Xia Duo found it hard to imagine a high-ranking mage who was chatting and laughing not long ago, and would be gone if he said nothing.

As for those middle-level mages, they don't even know teleportation. In this case, death is their only ending.

At this time, Frost also sent a message to all the high-level mages of the agreement, and said with some fear: "Then I just took a life?"

No one answered, but the silence itself heralded an answer.

"Retreat? Or what should I do?" Xia Duo was thinking silently.

First of all, it is obviously inappropriate to give up the task directly. The people above are watching. If it is not the last moment, just give up like this. It may not be good to go back.

Then you can only take a little risk!
Just when Xia Duo was thinking about how to persuade others, Joyce summoned him again, "I have decided to quit. I don't want to take any risks. Even if I go back, I will be punished!"

"..."

Xia Duo really wanted to yell, this guy just quit like this and sent a message to everyone, didn't he intend to hurt everyone's morale!
It's better to die just now, why did you escape!
After a moment of silence just now, the delayed screen perceived by Niya's detection spell finally ended. The last lightning focus suddenly exploded when it approached Joyce and the others, and Joyce and the others disappeared in an instant. .

Of course, Xia Duo knew that Joyce had escaped, and none of the others could escape, especially the mage Talancentus.

"Your Excellencies are looking at us! Now, if you face any setbacks, you will bluntly back down. Will you still have the courage to fight against the elves on the main plane in the future? Think carefully about this war and this mission. It is really for a secondary position." face?"

Regardless of whether the superiors have the idea of ​​letting the subordinates stand in line and use war to hone their willingness to fight against the elves, Xia Duo directly believes that it is!
This is not only the necessary path in the development of Netheril in his opinion, but also a choice that any human being who wants to make a difference in the main plane must encounter!

Is it really necessary to curl up under the shadow of elves for life after life?

These high-level mages can be regarded as the rare essence of Netheril. If even these people dare not fight, can more ordinary people still have the heart to resist?
At this moment, Xia Duo was very sure that as long as a leader with a little ambition wanted to develop Netheril, he would find a way to break the natural worship, natural fear and natural non-resistance of the Netherese in their hearts!
This time in the green plane, only the four towers of Gilles Tower, Gustav Tower, Kieran Tower, and Jennik Tower among the seven towers are forced to recruit personnel to participate in the battle.

The other three parties were all attracted by missions, perhaps because of a certain consistency of the Seven Towers Group, they did it as a last resort.

Perhaps among the Seven Towers Group, only these four parties really stand together, at least in terms of attitudes towards elves, they are highly consistent!

This is also in line with Xia Duo's wishes!
It's just that people always have bad roots, and they always hope that others will sacrifice for themselves, so that they will not be sacrificed. Xia Duo is no exception, but when he is really involved in the matter, how can he easily give up his position!
It is a bit similar to the novel Xia Duo once read, which is often described as "Once you retreat, you will have obstacles in your heart, and it will be difficult to improve your cultivation after that."

Although the reality is not so exaggerated, this abandonment not only means that there is no future in one's own camp, this kind of alienated choice is also a reshaping of one's own ideas and three views, becoming what one did not want to be in the past that kind of person.

If there are too many choices like this, it is a proper distortion of the three views, or degeneration!
Of course, this is from Xia Duo's point of view. Perhaps Joyce himself was very resistant to this compulsory recruitment and to fighting the elves. Now that he had the opportunity, he immediately chose to give up.

It is basically a proper leading party. The three views and concepts are different from Xia Duo, so there is no change, distortion or degeneration.

He just did the most normal reaction for a guy like him.

Joyce, though, came from Janik Towers, which is interesting.

At the mobilization meeting before the departure, the Grand Arcanist Hadlaine of Janik Tower appeared in person, and Joyce also saw it with his own eyes, but now he doesn't even have this bit of political acumen!
After that, do we still have to hang out in Janick Tower?
Such a thought flashed in Xia Duo's mind, but then he shook his head and continued to send messages:
"It's not yet the time when we have no choice but to give up. I suggest that each of our teams draw thirteen people to form a standing mobile team. Wherever there is an abnormality, we will collectively support it!"

At present, middle-level mages can't let them go back directly. They are the pillars to maintain a high-level mage's combat power as an archmage, and at the same time, this whole is also an indispensable force to contain the Mystic node.

If there is no containment, then the elf mages will definitely gather in large numbers to seek a decisive battle. In that case, humans may not be able to beat the elves.

We must give full play to the advantages of human beings!
