Chapter 3364: The Fight of a Trapped Beast
————It will be later~~
————
Of course, the ability of a High Mage to deal with external risks is far beyond that of a Senior Mage, but given the relationship between Lari and Xia Duo, wouldn't it be safer if Xia Duo looked after them a bit? It's not a big deal anyway.
But Lari did not ask Xia Duo to look after his own son; instead, he used his personal favor to ask Xia Duo to look after Elder Dewen's son. Although both are acts of looking after someone, because the subjects are different, the consumption of the favor is also completely different.
Xia Duo also has a friendship with Lari's son, so providing a certain amount of care actually doesn't require consuming any favors at all; it is nothing more than a matter of convenience.
But as for Kandela, Xia Duo hadn't even met the other party before this incident, and he didn't have much of a deep friendship with Elder Dewen either; it was more of a cooperation at the official level of Evereska.
However, his cooperation with Evereska is basically a win-win, and in fact, Evereska wins even more, which makes it unnecessary for him to care too much about personal friendships with Evereska Elders.
As for Lari, that was the beginning of the cooperation. If it weren't for Lari acting as a go-between, perhaps—
Xia Duo would have found other Elders; it didn't necessarily have to be Lari. But in the process of continuous interaction, the friendship is indeed real.
Therefore, he agreed to the other party's request this time, not only because it was requested by his old friend Lari, but also, although he is somewhat unwilling to admit it, Elder Dewen was indeed one of the factors Xia Duo considered.
According to Xia Shao's vision, to effectively unleash the war potential of the War Spells carried by Yongle City, at most it would require fewer than one hundred low-level Mages; if fully staffed, it would require fewer than seven hundred!
No matter how low the efficiency or how slow the speed of 【Annihilation Light】 is, it still involves a process; it is impossible to instantly turn the area around Tanzan Peak into nothingness.
At the same time, he also synchronized the situation in the rear detected by Yongle City to Kandela and the other action personnel. Tanzan Peak is located in the northern part of the Guangyutan, but strictly speaking, it is within the territory of Evereska.
Previously, when Xia Shao was in Taiweimansa, he did not track the escape route of the Moonshadow Family, but with such a large movement of a Portal, how could it be possible to leave no traces at all?
Northern Guangyutan, Tanzan Peak.
……
Under such circumstances, Xia Shao certainly let the Floating City go up. It is not necessary to bring the Floating City to Tanzan Peak. In the absence of other interference, 【Larian Perception】 is sufficient to cover this area.
Under such circumstances, unless there is a one hundred percent certainty of killing Dafuni in one blow, it is impossible for Xia Shao to make such a big fuss at the border of the Guangyutan.
It is just a pity that such a requirement is probably difficult to meet in a short time. It is just that when needed, people must be temporarily called from the Tower of Time to satisfy a relatively low war state.
The subsequent contact with Kandela went very smoothly, and there were no strange occurrences, such as refusing to accept orders or simply disappearing.
Regarding Dumu's choice, Xia Shao had nothing to say, but he also felt it was somewhat inappropriate. Before setting off, he called two more Elite Mages from Evereska to act together with Kandela and the others.
Of course, even without considering the thoughts of the Evereska side, direct destruction is not the best choice. Unless it can be proven that the Sage of the Darkness Society is within the range of Tanzan Peak, it is still better to try to capture them alive.
After all, Elder Dewen might not be able to accomplish things, but he can definitely ruin them. As long as Xia Duo still needs to deal with the Evereska side in the future, he will never be able to bypass Elder Dewen.
"Kandela, maintain the team's alert status and head to the location shown on the map." Xia Shao issued the order in the Command Network.
Moreover, judging from the ability Dafuni displayed earlier in Taiweimansa to transcend the current world, Xia Shao is very unsure whether Annihilation Light can kill the other party.
……
As for whether they will transfer again later, he thinks it is possible, but the Darkness Society should have no time to attend to other things at the moment. If the Moonshadow Family transfers on their own, nine times out of ten they will still go to a secret stronghold known to Kalano.
There was not a single one from the Guangyutan.
Very quickly, Dumu had everything arranged properly, a total of twelve Elite Mages, most of whom were from Evereska, perhaps also because Dumu considered the coordination issue with Kandela.
This is like one person driving an aircraft carrier. Perhaps he knows how to use all the functions of the aircraft carrier and can use them skillfully, but can that person lock onto a distant target alone and then carry out a precision strike?
The Evereska Mythallar also did not have much influence in this area; there were only a few scattered supply points and observation stations along the Ruiwen River, and Xia Duo had already greeted them in advance.
This time, there is not necessarily Dafuni helping to cover it up.
But now, he is the only one on Yongle City, and he can only control and apply 【Larian Perception】 in a very superficial way; he cannot reach the requirement of precision strikes at all.
"Take out the Guidance Artifact and provide coordinates for a precision strike." Xia Shao commanded unhurriedly.
The Ruiwen River flows eastward from the foot of the mountain, and a little further east is the Surface city of Danzo, Asikeer. A secret stronghold of the Moonshadow Family is hidden there.
After all, he still wanted to capture them alive, rather than directly firing a "map cannon" to wipe out all of Tanzan Peak.
Wanting to maintain a full-time standby state of seven hundred low-level Mages will probably have to wait until a long time in the future.
Even if one does not consider the thoughts of the Evereska side, it is entirely possible to directly use 【Annihilation Light】 to wipe Tanzan Peak off the Northland map.
And now, while already using 【Larian Perception】, Xia Shao still needs Kandela to guide 【Annihilation Light】 from nearby to conduct a precision strike.
Kandela's attitude was quite humble, but he also repeatedly confirmed many details of the mission. After Xia Shao explained briefly, he let him wait for other teammates to gather in the Portal Hall of Evereska.
It is basically impossible; it is simply impossible to operate it alone, and it still requires coordination with many people.
Actually, if there were enough low-level Mages on Yongle City at this moment, he would not need Kandela to provide precision strike coordinates; he could completely obtain them through 【Larian Perception】 and then synchronize the strike.
Of course, it is also possible to go to a place that Kalano does not know, but with such a large family as the Moonshadow Family, they would not be able to leave no traces at all.
In fact, the shorter the time, the greater the power required, the longer the time needed for advance preparation, and the greater the impact after the strike.
Sending a team of Mages to investigate nearby and then acting when the opportunity arises is perhaps the only choice at the moment.
Combining Kalano's memories, Xia Shao can basically be certain that the destination of the Moonshadow Family's escape at that time was a secret stronghold located at Tanzan Peak.
……
About a quarter of an hour later, Kandela called a halt to the team's advance, and his consciousness reported to Xia Shao in the Command Network: "Consultant Xia Shao, we have arrived at the predetermined area. Ahead is the hidden Jieti you marked. The relevant information has been synchronized. Please indicate the next action."
