Chapter 861: Value Differences, True Plane Status
"As for not sending someone to command, this is not a decision I made alone, this is a joint decision of the Seven Towers, including yourself!"
Badigar's explanation made Horn a little speechless for a while, he knew that Badigar was right, war is indeed war, and it is indeed a decision made by them not to send someone to command.
And the reason is just to let the mages of the Seven Towers grow up quickly, learn to cooperate and compromise, and get out of the narrow self-circle.
Horn objected at the time, but was eventually persuaded by Badigar and the princess, but now that he mentioned it again, he inevitably regretted it.
Therefore, among the people who died not long ago was also from his Kiran Tower, even if it was only two mid-level mages, it made him very distressed.
In Horn's opinion, the probability of a high-level mage becoming a legend is close to zero, let alone becoming a great arcanist later, but the probability of a mid-level mage becoming an arcanist and then staying up to the grand arcanist is significantly higher!
He would rather lose two high-level mages than one mid-level mage, after all, who knows if the dead mid-level mage will be the future Grand Arcanist!
Of course, it was impossible for him to say this kind of thing openly, but at the level of the Grand Arcanist, what he thought and thought was indeed different from that of ordinary people, and even ordinary spellcasters.
……
Shado had no idea that his return would spark a debate among the Grand Arcanists, and from the moment he lay down on the bed in his makeshift quarter, he had almost forgotten all the trivial matters and devoted himself to the psychic connection.
At this time, the spiritual link, with Xia Duo's consciousness projection as the center, and more than a hundred high-level mages as branch nodes, formed an invisible web flowing with perceptual information and thought fragments.
In this network, each node is a perceptual window for Chado, a distributed subliminal combinator, and an execution terminal for his instructions.
The first official order given by Xia Duo was to obtain as much information as possible and share it in the Psychic Link.
Whether it's the quest information that each person receives, or the extrasensory information that they get from casting spells.
Only with enough information can a sufficiently clear battlefield situation be established, which is also a simple judgment made by Xia Duo based on the small amount of military knowledge he had been exposed to on Earth before crossing over.
Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles.
Now, Xia Duo has a fairly full understanding of the true capabilities of their more than 100 people, or the ability to use them in coordinated operations.
As for some of the strong hole cards of some people, this is not in the consideration of Chado.
After all, the so-called command and dominance are based on win-win cooperation, and if the interests of certain groups of people are sacrificed, this cooperation may immediately fall apart.
It may be possible to talk about compensation after the fact, but it is difficult to negotiate an outcome that satisfies everyone in a short period of time, and if you can't reach an agreement quickly, the battle may already be lost.
Therefore, it is best to treat everyone as exactly the same individual, without any high expectations, as long as they can perform the abilities that a normal high-level mage should have.
……
Soon after the information gathering command was issued, a succession of information was shared into the telelink network, which contained images, sounds, smells, perceptions of the magic web, and various feedback from the detection spells throughout the green plane.
For a moment, an almost endless amount of information flowed back and forth in the telepathic link network, and in this instant, and even more in the aftermath, there was no active consciousness information coming out of the psychic link.
Except for Xia Duo, probably no one can "look directly" at such a complex and responsible infinite amount of information!
Of course, it is said that it is infinite, but in fact, there is a limit, and there are rules to follow.
When Xia Duo's body fell into a deep sleep, his subconscious and surface consciousness were extremely active, and he dedicated his subconscious to scheduling other people's subconscious to think and judge.
Instead, take your own sense of expression as the goal of the output of the results.
The first thing Xia Duo did was to establish a multi-dimensional green plane state map in his surface consciousness, mainly including terrain, landscape, and magic net state.
Of course, the most important of these is the state of the magic net, and other information is only an appearance for the caster, and only by tearing the surface can we see the truth.
And at this moment, in this real green plane state map, there are as many as twenty abnormal areas of the magic net, which should be the Mystery Lock node set up by the Komanso elves.
Each one corresponds to the mission objectives of more than fifty of their teams.
Yes, the results of the synthesis of most of the information are somewhat counter-intuitive, not more than fifty goals, but only more than twenty.
As for the reason, Xia Duo already knows by now.
On the real surface, there is also a layer of representation constructed by the terrain and landscape, and if the mission is carried out according to the appearance, half of the team will be led to an invalid target.
This is also the final effect of the anomaly of trees that Xia Duo initially discovered.
In fact, it is not only embodied in the forest itself, but in a very magical way, the other half of the world overlaps with the normal world but has no real meaning.
Maybe it's the lock!
If it weren't for the fact that more than a hundred high-level mages shared information at the same time, allowing him to integrate a more realistic dimensional wholeview, he himself might have strayed.
Now, though, it's different.
Although Xia Duo didn't know much about the Lost Lock, especially the principle part, which could almost be said to be a blank, not knowing the principle didn't prevent him from destroying those Lost Lock nodes.
Many times, it's easier to destroy than to create.
And when he knew that the real Lost Lock nodes were likely to be only more than twenty, Xia Duo's chances of winning were even more sufficient.
……
The teams that were sneak attacked before were all going to the real mystery nodes, and others may not have noticed, but with Xia Duo's strong memory, how could they not notice that those sneak attack elven mages have only changed a few new faces after a few times!
If there are enough elven mages, then there is no need to change people in the same team, just change teams to sneak attack!
Even if because of the particularity of the elven magic system itself, the threshold for elves to jointly cast spells is low, but it will not be without a threshold.
The sudden addition of a newcomer to a skilled team can have some impact.
Therefore, when Xia Duo persuaded everyone to accept the psychic link, he said that the number of elves may not be large, and only if they unite will they not be dragged down by successive raids.
And now, knowing that there are probably only more than twenty Mystery Nodes, this confirms his previous speculation, that is, the number of elves is far less than he imagined, at least the number of elven mages may not be much.
