Chapter 2674: Attacking the Silver Spire

"Mage Dakesi, do you know how many of Palisi's accomplices are inside the Silver Spire?"

Although Dakesi remained a suspect, one could not simply ignore the only source of intelligence available; the same went for Gaodite. Regardless of what information the other party provided, as long as they provided it, it would always reflect a bit of reality.

"I am not clear on exactly how many accomplices Palisi has. The only thing I can confirm is which Mages attacked me when I escaped just now!"

Following this, Palisi told Gaodite about his encounter when escaping the Silver Spire. By comparing the two accounts, they confirmed a rough range of enemies.

It was mainly Palisi and his four followers; the City Guard Commander was one of them. The rest did not involve any High Mages, which counted as rare good news.

Of course, if they were to attack the Silver Spire, they also had to be prepared for the existence of other High Mages.

According to the information provided by Ruien, Dakesi, and Gaodite, there were a total of five High Mages in Metelier. Excluding Palisi and Dakesi, the other three were councilors and had already been summoned by Palisi to the Silver Spire.

In other words, the worst-case scenario was only five High Mage enemies. No, more accurately, four. Before Xia Duo and the others took action, they would temporarily restrain Dakesi to avoid any accidents.

"The general situation is understood, so let's get moving!"

Xia Duo bypassed Dumu to take charge of the situation, because the next steps involved combat, which Dumu could not participate in. As for himself, if he were not leading, those Elf investigators would likely be difficult to organize.

Although everyone was now a member of the Northland Alliance, the Northland Alliance had only been established for a short time; the past hatred and hostility had persisted for thousands of years, even after Gaodite founded the nation.

"Don't worry, it's rare to have a chance to wreak havoc in an Yierlan city; I will certainly put forth my full strength to do this."

The Tuleidi and Kuitao whom Xia Duo specifically inquired about were two investigators from Dumufrang, and naturally, they were also two High Mages. The reason he specifically asked about them was because of the long-standing hostile attitude of the Dumufrang Elves toward Metelier.

This was actually unavoidable. Attacking someone else on their home turf meant one had to think of some off-the-book tricks to neutralize the opponent's home-field advantage; otherwise, even with Xia Duo personally taking action, it would be difficult to unfold the operation.

"Tuleidi, Kuitao, I need you to act together with them. Is that a problem?"

Xia Duo added a Will Seal to Keman to temporarily deprive the other party of their Spellcasting ability, while the five High Mages and Xia Duo personally cast Protection Magic on him to avoid accidents during the period he lost his Spellcasting ability.

Moreover, he also wanted to know whether Dakesi was truly a Demon Descendant, and whether the so-called Sacrificial Ritual had anything to do with the Mist in the prophecy.

Relying solely on flesh and blood or ordinary sharp weapons, it was impossible to stop five top-tier Spellcasters!

Previously, Xia Duo told Ruien that he could 100% take him away; what he relied on was this, a portable War Spell Platform.

There was no other way; they were already at a disadvantage. If they still couldn't perform Coordinated Casting, then the attack could only remain on a verbal level.

And the 【Disintegration Field】 was the true Spell, provided by Xia Duo, which could be considered an enhanced version of 【Annihilation Light】. In the current situation, there was no need to expose the 【Thought Robe】.

Previously, Dakesi seemed indifferent to the investigation team's actions, but the soldiers before the Silver Spire exposed the other party's true thoughts; he was still worried about the investigation team's interference.

But that aura only lasted for an instant; it very quickly dimmed and never lit up again.

In the Spirit Thought Network, an Elf raised a question. To this, Xia Duo's reply was, "Ruien just escaped from there. If Keman is trustworthy, that is the most heavily guarded place right now. If Keman is not trustworthy, that place is highly likely a trap. Let's follow the standard Mage Tower attack and defense procedures and proceed steadily!"

When they arrived less than fifty meters before the Silver Spire, Xia Duo suddenly directed the team to change direction, not flying toward the Silver Spire, but spiraling upward.

If they fought on their own, Dakesi might not even need to show his face; his subordinates alone might rely on the Mythallar's terrain advantage to calmly neutralize the offensive of Xia Duo and the others.

Xia Duo ultimately convinced the two High Mages from Dumufrang and the other two High Mages from Metelier to join the same Spirit Thought Network.

As for now, there was no need to use the War Spell 【Annihilation Light】. 【Disintegration Field】 was also quite effective in this low-intensity combat. In just an instant, the soldiers standing in a line in front of Xia Duo and the others had bright Magic Auras erupt from their entire bodies.

However, Yierlan was innocent. At least in this current matter, the ordinary citizens within Metelier were innocent. Plus, Tuleidi and Kuitao were willing to join the joint investigation team that included Gaodite Elves.

"Lord Xia Duo, must we break in from here? Why not enter through the hole damaged in the Silver Spire's tower body?"

After all, this thing could not be manufactured for quite some time after leaving the Red Heart Alliance. Currently, it was the only limited edition in the Main Plane. If it were treated by the Elves as something that could be repeatedly manufactured like a Mythallar, it would add so much trouble.

Zhuguang Square.

Spiraling upward was the shortest path Xia Duo had summarized through real-time exploration.

Xia Duo and the others passed through without even making any contact with those soldiers, instead passing through their bodies and charging straight toward the Silver Spire ahead.

After that, it was time to act!

And those soldiers were far from being the Silver Spire's true defensive force. How the Silver Spire was in the past, Xia Duo did not know, but the space around the current Silver Spire had been distorted and reconstructed.

And before setting off, Xia Duo instructed Lier, "After we launch the attack, you must destroy the remaining Nodes of the Metelier Mythallar as soon as possible. Regardless of whether the Nodes were replaced in past updates, destroy them first."

Perhaps to ease the atmosphere, Lier even made an inappropriate joke, but after everyone laughed, the atmosphere became even more heavy.

Even the soldiers outside that line lost control of the Magic Items on their bodies due to the High Mage Affinity Domain and the influence of the edge of the 【Disintegration Field】.

Ascension refers to ascending to the Saint Form, Condensation refers to controlling the surrounding Magic Net, and Suppression refers to using the Affinity Domain condensed by the Saint Form to suppress the opponent's Spellcasting ability.

This was the hatred of war victims toward the descendants and inheritors of the war initiators!

They formed an array to firmly block the Silver Spire behind them, but Xia Duo and the five Elf Mages did not slow down at all, and in the Spirit Thought Network, a series of Spellcasting commands were synchronized—

Charging straight over was actually taking the long way around.

"Ascension, Condensation, Suppression, 【Disintegration Field】."

Xia Duo and the other five High Mages flew close to the ground, quickly approaching the Silver Spire on the north side of the square. But the Zhuguang Square, which had been empty not long ago, now had several hundred more soldiers.
