Chapter 864: Real-time Tactical Map, Predictive Arrangement

~7 min read 1,333 words

Of course, knowing the fact that the enemy might not be as powerful as they appear on the surface does not necessarily mean that one's own side will definitely win.

Xia Duo is very clear that they have only just caught up in terms of battlefield information superiority, and it is not even certain that they have an advantage, let alone the final victory.

It still depends on the upcoming engagements.

——All teams are to continue advancing according to the map indications and reach the mission target area as soon as possible.

Soon, Xia Duo transformed the organized regional tactical maps into active conscious information, shared it into the Mind Link, and thoughtfully added indicator symbols such as red dots, red lines, and arrows for them.

Each team's map was produced individually, which took a great deal of effort; fortunately, everything was within his consciousness, and the only thing he needed to do was "think," without needing to draw in reality.

And "thinking" was based on the real-time status map of the Green Field Plane constructed from information shared by others.

Xia Duo's powerful memory ability gave him an almost infinitely sufficient "conscious operating memory," allowing him to fill his conscious mind with various forms of information almost infinitely.

Of course, the more information there is, the more sluggish the activity of his conscious mind—that is, his subjective consciousness—becomes, so in reality, he cannot achieve infinite caching.

But even so, it was enough for his consciousness to manifest that incredibly complex real-time status map of the Green Field Plane, and it was not particularly strenuous.

If it were anyone else, let alone such a complex status map containing a large amount of Magic Net status information, even an ordinary map would be very difficult for a normal person to manifest in their mind.

Perhaps they could remember the general idea, but when it comes to details, without Memory Retrospection or a photographic memory, it is basically impossible to manifest.

Therefore, even with as many as fifty completely different regional tactical maps, Xia Duo was still able to provide near real-time guidance.

That is to say, whenever someone acted according to the tactical map and fed back relevant information in the Mind Link, he would immediately issue a new map.

And in the real-time status map of the Green Field Plane in Xia Duo's consciousness, or rather the master map, the reactions of each team would also be fed back in real time.

It was just like playing a game with a god's-eye view; those High Mages all became NPCs in Xia Duo's hands, guided step by step, fed back step by step, and then guided step by step again, in a cycle.

This feeling made Xia Duo somewhat addicted.

……

Meanwhile, in the forest.

Angelin suddenly received a Sending, "What is the point of us advancing so foolishly? Weren't we supposed to be united? Are we just united to be his puppets?"

The Sending did not mention his name, but there was no doubt it was referring to Xia Duo. Angelin immediately had a headache; in fact, he already had a vague suspicion that perhaps the information obtained through the Mind Link was far deeper than he had imagined.

Did they really think that sending messages outside the Mind Link would not be perceived?

Seeming to feel his thoughts becoming scattered, Angelin hurriedly focused his mind to avoid leaking more information, although Xia Duo had guaranteed he would not pry into personal privacy, he trusted himself more.

Regarding the Sending he had just received, Angelin merely replied with a "Follow orders for now" and did not respond further.

And just after he replied, an active conscious message suddenly appeared in the Mind Link, along with a shared perception of a Scrying spell.

Upon receiving the information, Angelin could not help but show an expression of surprise, and when he "looked" at the perception information of that Scrying spell, he immediately could not help but let out an exclamation:

"How is this possible?"

It turned out that this information was Xia Duo warning that the Elf Mages were about to ambush a certain team, arranging a support list, and at the same time, having already arranged the Scrying spell in advance before the Elf ambush had even arrived.

This kind of near-predictive arrangement made Angelin very surprised; similar to Angelin, almost every High Mage in the Mind Link state also felt very surprised.

Of course, besides surprise, there was also secret joy.

And the team that was told they were about to encounter an ambush by Elf Mages felt a bit more worried; after all, no matter how heavy someone else's promise is, it is not as good as not encountering any danger oneself.

However, when they saw the High Mages arriving almost simultaneously, the two High Mages leading this team finally breathed a temporary sigh of relief.

——With Mage Huaiyate as the lead, Resonance, 【Spell Breaking-5-1】, projection orientation, left front xx tree.

Mind communication bypassed the filter of language, directly conveying the most primitive and accurate information without producing any ambiguity.

Under Xia Duo's Indication, the dozen or so High Mages who came to support quickly took Huaiyate as the lead and performed Joint Casting with the help of Resonance Spellbooks.

Although they still did not know what the Spell Breaking target was, the only thing they could do at this time was to trust and follow orders.

And Xia Duo also became nervous at this time; although he was very sure that there were hidden Elf Mages in the Spell Breaking target area he indicated, as long as those Elf Mages did not appear or leave any traces, it would greatly affect his command authority.

Only by leading everyone to victory would he gain everyone's recognition; if he just commanded blindly, even if he did not lose command authority later, everyone's execution would be greatly discounted.

This was not what Xia Duo wanted to see.

But the problem was, he could not share the entire series of thought processes; on one hand, others might not be able to accept, process, or understand this information involving distributed collaborative thinking of multiple people's Subconscious.

On the other hand, or the main reason, was that this involved the Subconscious of everyone, and although it was only some passive information, it could already be considered personal privacy.

Some things can be done, but once said out loud, the meaning becomes completely different.

Thus, Xia Duo also projected his Perception into the Perception Field created by the Scrying spell shared by Niya.

What entered his "eyes" was a green forest that was not significantly different from other parts of the Green Field Plane; at this time, except for a group of human Mages who were already on guard and had begun Spellcasting, there were no other living creatures.

Including the Elf Mages Xia Duo had warned about earlier.

But Mage Huaiyate, one of the captains of this team earlier, had shared the perception information of the surrounding Magic Net environment; although he himself might not have noticed it, for Xia Duo, who was in the leading position of the Mind Link—

Even the slightest disturbance, under the collaborative thinking of over a hundred High Mages' Subconscious, would be as obvious as a violent rainstorm.

As long as it was verified slightly, it was not difficult to find the abnormality, and Xia Duo's verification was naturally Niya's Scrying spell.

Others might not be able to fully trust him, but Niya was different; Niya gave Xia Duo full trust, and as soon as Xia Duo proposed to verify, Niya cast the Scrying spell without hesitation.

Although the Scrying result did not find the presence of Elves, some of the status information involving the Magic Net environment could be cross-compared with the information perceived by Mage Huaiyate earlier.

Thereby allowing Xia Duo to conclude that there were Elves here, and notifying others to support was then a matter of course.
