Chapter 3260: Rapid Interrogation, Relief and Lingering Fear

————It will be later~~

"Elder Laruian, please warn the residents in the city that they must not attempt to fly into the sky. I will attempt to reconstruct the gravity near Evereska, but this requires time, and even more so, computing power. Please, treat this with the utmost importance."

Xia Duo personally sent a message to Laruian, explaining the current state of Evereska. It was not that he could not let Evereska recover like this, but that protection was his primary concern.

Just moments ago, he and the Alliance Mages and Evereska Mages who came to help had jointly cast 【Peak Severing Spell】 to separate Evereska, along with the sixty or seventy meters of rock base beneath it, from the great plateau.

Then came the teleportation of the Floating City, bringing the main body of Evereska into the protection range of the Floating City's field and war spells, without considering anything else during the process.

Because sixty or seventy meters of rock further down was the secret stronghold of the Illuminati!

Of course, now due to the separation of Evereska, the Illuminati's stronghold remained on the original plateau.

Xia Duo ordered the Floating City to control it, while he himself used the Computing Power Pool to simultaneously analyze the real-time detection feedback of Evereska's state transmitted by the war spell 【Wide-Area Detection】 from the Floating City.

He had to reconstruct the gravity near Evereska as soon as possible; even if he did not consider the people in the city, he had to consider the influence Evereska would receive after approaching Yongle City.

It contained various areas and various dimensions, almost covering everything, but Xia Shao only needed to look at the part about the Darkness Society's secret stronghold.

Although there was no lack of Elites and senior Mages among them, Xia Shao still contemptuously called them minions. Compared to high-level Mages, those minions probably knew far more than a little!

Upon closer inspection, Xia Shao could not help but feel surprised. Relying on those dozens of crash-course high-level Mages on Floating Spirit City, they had actually intercepted three high-level Mages, as well as almost all the members of the stronghold.

As for the other two, one committed suicide, and in the process of committing suicide (fully releasing Saint Form), they also sent the other one away.

The War Mages responsible for controlling the war spells—Detection, Forbidden Restriction, and Annihilation—were communicating closely via the Mind Link of the Empty City Network, "Fast, fast, fast, focus the Detection Field, coordinates *********!"

"Understood, arranging it immediately! Additionally, coordinate ***^*** has magic protection. I need a beam of Annihilation Ray to shoot in from this angle. The coordinates have already been passed to you!"

"Spatial separation is complete!"

Even if all members of the Darkness Society were truly in the secret stronghold below, facing the Floating City, they could only look at the city and sigh!

Fortunately, both gravity fields were based on reconstructing the gravity environment of the Main Plane itself; otherwise, if three gravity fields influenced each other, the situation would be even more complicated.

He was slightly distracted, but it did not have much impact. Xia Shao was currently using the Computing Power Pool to calculate and verify the gravity reconstruction scheme he had designed.

And the targets that the Alliance intelligence department had tracked down from Ailan were also among those minions, including Aimeidiya, a manager of the Rus Chamber of Commerce who had once purchased Stasis Space services at the Time Tower Void Warehouse Chamber of Commerce and stored a mysterious Excited State Magic Artifact.

……

And on the other side, in Floating Spirit City.

This was not a task as difficult as ascending to heaven. If Evereska were stationary, Xia Shao would not even need a minute to complete the corresponding plan.

But now, Xia Shao still knew nothing about the identities of the two high-level Mages who committed suicide and escaped. Perhaps the guy who escaped would appear openly in front of him later, and he would not recognize them.

"Here, here, and here!"

It was just that in some feedback from 【Wide-Area Detection】, there were images of Aimeidiya communicating with other Elves. This guy was not like an ordinary manager, but was deeply involved with the Darkness Society, at least not the lowest level like Poson.

The gravity of Yongle City was not directed upward or downward, but in a state of spherical radiation or contraction to adapt to the spherical structure of Yongle City. He had no way to redesign a gravity scheme in a short time.

"You speak lightly. The President wants us to capture the enemies below alive as much as possible. If you flatten them, what will you use to answer to the President? Hmm, the direction of the Annihilation Ray is wrong, protection removed!"

……

Immediately after, Xia Shao synchronized the plan in the Empty City Network to the War Mages in Floating Spirit City, letting them reconstruct the gravity environment near Evereska as soon as possible.

Only then did he have time to check the situation at the secret stronghold of the Darkness Society. The information running in the Empty City Network was real and non-illusory consciousness information; even if missed for a moment, it was still searchable—provided, of course, that this network was not disbanded.

This also caused the gravity state of Evereska, including its direction, to be completely dominated by the gravity of Yongle City.

After several adjustments, the final plan was finally released.

Therefore, Xia Shao let those War Mages, who might have only been Apprentices or even ordinary people a few years ago, capture the Darkness Society members without much worry. At this time, he focused most of his energy on designing the gravity reconstruction plan for Evereska.

Furthermore, the enemy they had to face this time was only one stronghold of the Darkness Society, not all members of the Darkness Society.

As for the remaining minions——

The biggest problem now was that Evereska was moving, and Floating Spirit City was also moving. At the same time, there were two gravity fields influencing each other. Under the condition of needing to ensure the stability inside Evereska as much as possible, this had a certain degree of difficulty.

But after the surprise, Xia Shao felt it was a matter of course. His temporary action this time came so suddenly, and the plan adopted was so outrageous and decisive; if he were a member of the Darkness Society, he would also be stunned and would not have time to prepare.

"Calculating the field focus for the ray takes time. The calculation time of the Computing Power Pool can be ignored, but providing the calculation process takes time. It takes about 7 seconds, 6 seconds—I say, why not just flatten it—3 seconds……"

Although the number of War Mages on Yongle City was still nearly half of the full complement, even with one-third of the full complement standard, it was enough to deal with a local war.

Every time it came to this, Xia Shao began to fantasize about the benefits of a Magic Computer. If there were a Magic Computer, it would mean that the corresponding materials had also been developed to the point where, in fact, the automation and intelligence of the various functions of Floating Spirit City could be realized.

Therefore, designing a gravity reconstruction plan for Evereska was Xia Shao's primary task now.

Very quickly, Xia Shao found the 【Wide-Area Detection】 information in the Empty City Network. From the moment Floating Spirit City teleported to the sky above Evereska until now, there was information for the whole process.

This was a bit of a pity. If they could all be captured and then follow the clues, even if they couldn't wipe out the Darkness Society in one fell swoop, they could at least deal a major blow to the Darkness Society.

It was just a pity that interception did not equal capture. Only one of the three high-level Mages was successfully captured, and after Xia Shao reviewed the entire capture process, he felt that there was some luck involved, or rather, that the high-level Mage was intentionally captured.

Unlike now, where everything had to be done manually, even if there was a Computing Power Pool to provide computing power, the initial input still required manual operation, and what to input required even more manual thinking, rather than the computer directly providing the optimal solution.
