Chapter 3371: Reporting Suspicions

————Black Myth is so fun, hehe~

————Satisfied, cramming.

Although they are all called "Wide-Area," the effective range of the 【Wide-Area Prohibition】 is only a spherical region with a radius of about one hundred New Li around the Floating City.

If it is a conventional-level 【Forbidden Spell】, the actual effective range might only be a spherical region with a radius of about 50 meters; the area of effect can be shaped differently, it does not necessarily have to be spherical.

The reason 【Wide-Area Prohibition】 is called "Wide-Area" is not by comparing it to the scope of a Plane, but by comparing it to the conventional version of this Spell; compared to a radius of 50 meters, a radius of 100 New Li increases the coverage area by 8 billion times.

If this cannot be called "Wide-Area," then what else could be called "Wide-Area"?

However, in order to avoid protection loopholes in the Floating City, the coverage of the 【Wide-Area Prohibition】 cannot be shaped, which means the maximum effective distance is 100 New Li.

And right now, the straight-line distance from Yongle City to the Surface is just about one hundred New Li.

If Yongle City happened to be directly above Tanzan Peak at this moment, then Xia Duo might agree to Kandela's request, but right now, the location of Yongle City is above the original site of Evereska.

Moreover, due to the previous surprise attack, various countries have developed suspicions regarding the neutral status of Evereska, and more than one country, including Netheril, has demanded that Xia Duo return Evereska to its original position.

It was the Evereska side that stood firm against the pressure from all sides, and even with Xia Duo having clearly informed them of the possibility of encountering an Illuminati attack, they still insisted on asking Xia Shao to keep Evereska by Yongle City's side.

Or perhaps the various countries could organize their own War Mages to provide support.

But for now, Xia Shao still does not need to worry about "defying" the Seven Towers on individual issues, and even if there are more disagreements in the future, as long as he has Xiaoyi in hand, he also does not need to worry about the Seven Towers at all.

If it cannot be done, then sooner or later the two sides will one day move toward opposing sides.

As long as the representatives of the various countries do not bring it up, Xia Shao himself will not take the initiative to bring it up either.

Of course, the root of all this is because Evereska is not strong enough; if it were strong enough, it could even treat the Northland Alliance, which has its Headquarters on its territory, as a puppet.

It is a symbol of a country, a centralized system.

If everything has support from the rear, then where is his own value reflected? Wouldn't it be the same if any Elite Mage were replaced to bring the Guidance Artifact over to achieve the same effect?

Unless one day the disagreements between the two sides become so great that even cooperation cannot suppress them, then the two sides will completely part ways, or even become mutually hostile.

Even if it is to catch members of the Moonshadow Family more conveniently and quickly now, the countries of the Alliance probably would not agree to let him take Yongle City to the North!

Of course, his disagreement with Badijiaer on this matter does not affect his cooperation with the Seven Towers in other aspects; it is just a matter of discussing the facts.

Regarding the issue of Evereska's temporary docking location, Xia Shao and Badijiaer have had private communications more than once; standing from the perspective of the Seven Towers or even Netheril, of course, occupying more Evereska Mythallar Permission is more beneficial.

Xia Shao really had no reason to refuse such a convenient matter, and the aftermath proved the effect was excellent; otherwise, there wouldn't have been this incident of letting Kandela take the Guidance Artifact to Tanzan Peak.

It is to ask the various countries to open up the long-range strike permission within their borders, so that the Alliance field personnel active within the various countries can call for War Spell support at any time.

Front line, Tanzan Peak.

The position of Executive is not so easy to hold; ignoring the big picture means losing the greater righteousness, and looking after the big picture is fulfilling Xia Shao. If one were to ask who in the entire Nether Region has more of a big-picture view and who cares more about collective interests, it must be Xia Shao.

But by comparison, Xia Shao's plan is more cost-effective. In fact, Kandela is not the first Alliance Mage to use Yongle City's remote support; it was the Alliance field personnel under Dumu.

The Seven Towers could of course learn from Xia Shao, but human selfishness is not so easy to overcome; if the Seven Towers could truly be selfless, then Xia Shao would naturally be willing to run errands for them.

Instead of acting as a tool mage in the rear used to trigger the Guidance Artifact.

However, regarding the remote support of War Spells, with Kandela having already personally practiced and verified it, he has a new idea, only he does not know if the various countries are willing to agree.

The purpose of doing this is only one: to take back the City Mythallar Permission as much as possible through the process of transforming the Floating City, or at least to separate the part of the permission that was forcibly demanded by the various countries.

What joint government, what win-win cooperation—in front of the visible lack of benefits, everything is empty. It is just that in this matter, Xia Shao has enough say (Yongle City's home-field advantage + authorization from the Evereska side), and in the end, the two could only part on bad terms.

Kandela knows that he carries too many expectations from the Evereska Council of Elders, and even if the situation is more unfavorable to him, he actually hopes to have more opportunities to perform.

The issue of Evereska's temporary docking site is just a concrete manifestation of the conflict of ideas and route differences between the two sides; if there were no conflicts or differences, then naturally there would be no such problem.

In the Elf World, whether in the past, present, or even the future, Mythallar Permission is equivalent to a country's sovereignty. Why do the various Elf countries want to build a Unified Mythallar? It is actually to reunite the scattered sovereignty.

If Evereska were to leave the influence range of Yongle City now, the various countries would probably not allow them to carry out the Floating City transformation at all, but would immediately continue to encroach on the Evereska Mythallar Permission under the excuse of helping with repairs.

At present, the various countries of the Alliance only occupy a part of the permission; once they occupy more, then Evereska might still hang on to the name of a sovereign state, but in reality, it would have become a puppet controlled by the various countries.

Xia Shao considers himself to be on the side of justice. Now Evereska is in a weak position and its sovereignty has been violated, so he chooses to help Evereska.

Of course, the current Northland Alliance is not Xia Shao's personal fiefdom. No matter if it is him or Evereska, it is impossible to truly ignore the opinions of other countries, so in the end, Yongle City still carried Evereska and stopped above the original site of Evereska.

If the various countries of the Alliance are willing to support Xia Shao and use his tactical plan in more actions, then the upcoming showdown between the Alliance and Duhui will definitely be much easier.

Kandela, who was refused the prohibition-type Spell support, did not have too much disappointment. Although such a result was more unfavorable to him, deep down in his heart, he actually felt a strange sense of relief.

……

The Moonshadow Family can attract Duhui to expose themselves, and the operation to capture them is very critical. If there were no high degree of certainty, Xia Shao would certainly not use a tactical plan that had never been verified before in such an important operation.

Previously, the Alliance had an important operation on the Langas Plain. Dumu was worried that the operation would not go smoothly, so he asked Xia Shao to help take care of it, because at that time, Yongle City was just wandering above the Langas Plain to provide support for the Grey Peak Mountains nearby.

If he were allowed to take Yongle City away, then would the next step be running around everywhere, and would the step after that be controlling the Alliance Headquarters? Such things are very sensitive.

In the future, if Evereska were to grow strong, and even have the thought of using the Alliance as a puppet tool, then he would also unhesitatingly stand on the side of the Alliance.
