Chapter 3404: Successive Breakthroughs

————It will be later~~

————About 2 days

As for now, the only value of Xinnaliya might be their close connection between the continent's ancient families and the Sea Elf.

If this connection can play a key role in the war between the Alliance and the Illuminati, no one would have anything to say about Xinnaliya joining the Alliance.

It can be said that in the foreseeable future, the present moment is the only chance for Xinnaliya to join the Alliance and integrate into the continent!

As an Alliance member, Ailintar is fully capable of realizing this; perhaps it is out of genuine concern for the future development of their ally Xinnaliya that they chose to receive Xia Duo with such high standards and be frank with him.

After all, Xia Duo himself is an Alliance Consultant, and with his greatly increased wartime Permission Level, he has a decisive power regarding Xinnaliya's entry into the Alliance that others and other countries can hardly reach.

After a moment of silent contemplation, Xia Duo did not directly respond to Mikaier's hint; after all, it was a hint—if you don't state it clearly yourself, how would I know!

He turned to ask about the role of Xinnaliya in the investigation of the Sea Elf, which in itself could also be considered a kind of hint—

As long as Xinnaliya can consistently stand by the Alliance's position on the Sea Elf issue without ambiguity and actively cooperate with the Alliance's investigation, then it is not impossible for Xinnaliya to join the Alliance.

Mikaier understood Xia Duo's hint and immediately said: "Actually, before Consultant Xia Duo arrived at Ailintar, we had already sent a Sending to the Xinnaliya Nüwang to inform her of the Illuminati's immense threat to the entire world."

"The Xinnaliya Nüwang has already agreed to cooperate with the Alliance's investigation, and the Magic Ship heading to the Sea Elf Kingdom in the deep ocean is already on standby at Yueyingdao, ready to depart as soon as the Alliance investigators arrive."

From the moment Xia Duo proposed the investigation direction of the Sea Elf at the Alliance Headquarters to now, it has been less than an hour in total, yet in this mere hour, Ailintar and Xinnaliya have already made the relevant preparations.

Xia Duo could not help but sigh that the efficiency of the Elf in some matters is completely no less than that of humans, and in the future, they will become increasingly similar to humans in other aspects as well.

Furthermore, even with a surprise negotiation, wanting to settle everything in such a short time is not an easy task; it could even be said to be an almost impossible one.

Yet it was completed, which shows that at least before today, Ailintar and Xinnaliya might have already been planning for Xinnaliya's entry into the Alliance.

This Sea Elf clue could be an unprovoked disaster, or it could be a rare opportunity; it all depends on how the various parties choose.

And now, in Xia Duo's view, Ailintar and Xinnaliya have undoubtedly made the most correct choice.

Even if Xinnaliya were truly involved with the Sea Elf joining the Illuminati, in such a situation, they must decisively cut ties; otherwise, let alone whether there is a place for Xinnaliya in the new world, the current Northland might not be able to accommodate Xinnaliya.

……

"There is no time to lose. I am prepared to head to Xinnaliya now. I hope Ailintar can handle the necessary coordination work. We can discuss more details on the way."

Xia Duo put forward his requirements to Mikaier and other high-level officials of Ailintar, and at the same time, he mobilized an action team within the Command Network; this time, he is leading the team himself.

As for those envoys who do not know if they have arrived at Ailintar yet, they will remain here to be received by Ailintar; Xia Duo does not intend to take those envoys to Xinnaliya.

"No problem, the Teleportation Array is already prepared. Mage Tailun will accompany Consultant Xia Duo to Xinnaliya, or even the undersea world. If Consultant Xia Duo has any questions or requirements, you can talk to Tailun at any time."

"Very well, then I will trouble Mage Tailun." Xia Duo nodded toward Tailun, who had just arrived at the central garden.

He and Tailun are not meeting for the first time, and Tailun often handles external affairs and has good personal friendships with many councilors of Netheril.

Xia Duo could not find a single fault with Ailintar's choice to have Tailun accompany him.

……

With the plan arranged properly, Xia Duo followed behind Tailun and left the Sun Courtyard. In an inconspicuous high-tower building on the ground, Xia Duo saw the Teleportation Array, which was in a state of readiness at all times.

However, he did not immediately head to Xinnaliya; he still needed to wait for the action team he had just mobilized to arrive so they could depart together.

At the moment, Ailintar's attitude is indeed good, and Xinnaliya also seems to have shown great sincerity, but this is all one-sided talk from Ailintar.

Even as an ancient ally of nearly ten thousand years, Ailintar cannot necessarily fully represent Xinnaliya, especially since this matter might involve the Illuminati; who knows what the situation is like over at Xinnaliya.

The reason Xia Duo wants to wait for other Alliance Mages to come and leave together is not because he is worried about his own safety; he is just an avatar right now, and he wishes that some hidden Illuminati remnants would jump out to attack him, as that would allow him to grasp more clues!

What he is truly worried about are the Alliance Mages he mobilized; if any accident happens during the journey to Xinnaliya, then Xia Duo, as the person in charge of the operation, would inevitably have to bear the corresponding responsibility.

Although it is not to the extreme of having to bring back as many people as he took, he cannot cause significant casualties due to his own negligence.

But it is just waiting a little longer; Xia Duo can still afford to wait.

In fact, even if he were not waiting for the Alliance Mages in Ailintar now, he would still have to wait at the Alliance Headquarters for the Elite Mages urgently summoned by Netheril and various Alliance countries to head to Yongle City and join the War Spell System.

Time is indeed quite tight, but being anxious is useless; many things cannot be decided by Xia Duo alone, as they require the cooperation of all parties, and even the cooperation of the Illuminati.

……

After waiting for about ten minutes, Xia Duo finally waited for Kandela, who had escaped a disaster at Tanzan Peak just this morning. This time, he led a team to Ailintar again, but the team members were no longer the Elite Mages from the Tanzan Peak operation.

Instead, it was a team of veteran Mages carefully selected by Xia Duo, plus Kandela, totaling six people. The reason for this number was mainly considering that six veteran Mages could very conveniently cooperate with him and Tailun.

More would be possible, but the cost-effectiveness would not be high. At present, although the Alliance has been repeatedly defeated in local battlefields against the Illuminati, this is not a reason to withdraw high-end forces.

Even in failure, it is necessary to delay time as much as possible and not let the Illuminati win too easily; therefore, the demand for veteran Mages in various local battlefields has not decreased compared to before, but has instead increased countless times.

This is still under the condition that various countries are already trying their best to deal with the Time Signal Source within their own borders; if it were all handled by the Alliance, then manpower would inevitably be very scarce, and it would be impossible for Xia Duo to pull out these six veteran Mages now.

"Everyone is here, then let's depart!"

Xia Duo did not want to waste even a bit of time. He stepped onto the Teleportation Array first, and after the other Mages had all stepped on, Tailun activated the Teleportation Array.
