Chapter 871: Accelerating Progress, Intuitive Suggestions

"So, you're ashamed into anger now?" Huo En looked at the spot where the Gold Elf's image had vanished and said thoughtfully.

"Angry about what? Who knows, maybe they're just putting on a show for us!" Badijiaer said with a cold gaze, then looked toward Princess Xiya, his expression softening slightly, yet still revealing a trace of resolution:

"Since Jielinisi still refuses to give up, I ask Your Highness to cast the spell to complete the Mythallar and thoroughly shatter his delusions!"

"Very well!"

Xiya responded, then expanded her own Arcane Fire, the Magic Net Strings composing the Arcane Fire rapidly linking up with the Mythallar Node above the hill.

An invisible influence expanded rapidly along the external Magic Net into the area densely packed with Magic Net shaped by the camp's Ritual Magic, and it rapidly perfected this Mythallar skeleton.

Seeing this scene, Badijiaer nodded inwardly; even though the Mythallar data Lander brought back was shared by the Seven Towers, there were still differences in everyone's specific research progress.

"Huo En, return to the camp to watch over the ritual site; I am worried Jielinisi might launch a sneak attack there."

"Hmph!"

Although extremely dissatisfied with Badijiaer's command, Huo En did not argue with him under these circumstances; he let out a heavy huff and immediately teleported back.

Seeing Huo En leave directly without saying a word, Badijiaer's expression remained unchanged, but he actually breathed a sigh of relief inside; he was truly worried that Huo En would pick a fight with him in this situation.

Compared to Hadelaien, Huo En was more skilled at defense; with him at the camp, there would be no variables there. Although Princess Xiya was here weaving the Mythallar, the core was actually over at the camp.

This place was merely an open Node that allowed those outside the ritual to intervene; once there was any accident here, it could be abandoned at will, and they could just switch to another open Node.

But the core could not be lost.

Besides the core at the camp, the Guidance beacon at the location of the original Elven Mythallar was also critical and could not be easily damaged.

Thinking of this, Badijiaer glanced at Hadelaien beside him, "Only we are left; keep a close eye on Jielinisi. As long as he dares to strike, we must teach him a lesson!"

"Can do!" Hadelaien said indifferently.

In fact, as long as Jielinisi still had his sanity, he would not make a move in the Green Field Plane. The Main Plane's Cormanthor was mired in the quagmire of the Drow War, making it difficult to mobilize more High Mages for the time being.

But even if he could, he had to consider the consequences of an escalating conflict.

If not for the fact that Cormanthor and the Faro Organization stood behind him, a single Jielinisi might not even have had the Courage to come to the Green Field Plane!

To become a High Mage, who didn't possess a near-eternal lifespan? How could they be willing to risk facing four or even more equals!

Just as the Great Arcanist and the High Mages were in a standoff, Xia Duo finally waited for the Elves' attack.

To be honest, the Elves had been quiet for so long that he was truly a bit uneasy; the unknown was what made one most anxious. Now that they had finally appeared, Xia Duo could be considered slightly relieved.

And the moment the Elves appeared, there were three Mage squads capable of Joint Casting. Xia Duo's consciousness rapidly flashed through the Elven faces he had seen before, comparing them with the Elven Mages of these three squads.

This immediately allowed him to discover the mystery.

Setting aside those Sword Singers and Druids—after all, they could only be used for sneak attacks or harassment, and in a head-on battle, they were practically cannon fodder.

The Elven combat power that Xia Duo truly took seriously were the fifty-plus Elven Mages guarding the Mythallar Nodes, and now only three squads had appeared, with thirteen in each squad.

But in reality, the Elven Mage squad that had been wiped out earlier was not the same Elves who had initially ambushed Qiaoyisi and the others; there were bound to be new faces every time they appeared.

Those Elven Mages who had been rotated out were now appearing in these three attacking Mage squads, which couldn't help but make Xia Duo think of one word—

Standardized!

The special properties of Elven Magic allowed Elven Mages to reach a state of Resonance relatively easily, but if their coordination hadn't undergone specialized training, it was very difficult to achieve tacit understanding in a short time.

Now that these Elven Mages were able to rotate, it showed on one hand that their numbers were indeed not large, but on the other hand, it also showed that they must have undergone collective training, just like the humans here.

Then these three Elven Mage squads could not simply be treated as three Joint Casting units; they might just merge directly, becoming a larger and simultaneously stronger whole.

Perhaps because they were in a hurry to attack the Guidance beacon set up by the humans, the three Elven Mage squads acted separately, attacking three positions simultaneously.

But even so, it brought immense pressure to Xia Duo.

In the Mind Link, countless Perception data and consciousness information flowed rapidly, forming earth-shattering Mind Storms within Xia Duo's fully-perceptive consciousness.

Even though he did not possess a flesh-and-blood body at this moment, he still felt a trace of exhaustion, as well as a sense of powerlessness.

The appearance of this feeling made Xia Duo immediately alert and even more cautious. Although it might seem arrogant, it was very likely the truth, which was—

The lives of the hundred-plus Advanced Rank Mages currently in the Green Field Plane, as well as five times that number of Intermediate Rank Mages, were tied to his hands alone.

How could this not make Xia Duo tread on thin ice!

At this moment, he almost abandoned all thinking outside the battlefield, devoting himself entirely to the spell confrontation with the opponent, using every possibility to stall for time.

In the Mind Link, Xia Duo had already begun to influence the subconscious of the Advanced Rank Mages in the link without any hesitation, hinting at his guess that these Elven Mages likely came from the same Mage regiment and could form a complete state at any time.

To be honest, this kind of suggestion was also taking a huge risk; after all, a Mage regiment was only a legend in the Main Plane, and no Elven nation possessed a formed Mage army.

The suggestion was to make everyone believe these Elves came from the same Mage regiment, which would inevitably bring heavy pressure upon them.

In fact, after Xia Duo's suggestion, someone immediately "dropped out" of the Mind Link, but at this time, Xia Duo had no heart to care about those people.

Besides causing some Advanced Rank Mages to suddenly "drop out," the pressure suggestion also made the remaining people easier to command, but it also brought greater pressure on Xia Duo in analyzing and processing the battle situation.

Through subconscious suggestion, he turned every specific command into the subconscious inspiration and intuition of each person in the link, almost depriving the linkers of any opportunity for autonomous choice.

Only in this way could he avoid variables and accidents as much as possible, turning these hundred-plus people into a complete whole, a super Spellcaster!
