Chapter 873: Breaking the Balance and Defeating Head-on
As soon as the two scepters flew out of the waists of the two golden elf mages, they flew straight towards the humans, so obvious that the two items were taken away, and the elves could find them as long as they were not blind.
But at this time, although the two golden elf mages wanted to snatch the scepter desperately, as the core of the joint spellcasting, they also knew that once they made such a move, it would definitely affect the resonance state.
Once the resonance state is lost, they are no longer a whole, they will no longer have an advantage over humanity, and failure may only be in a moment.
Compared to this ending, the loss of the scepter is nothing, and they don't have the only way to escape.
But even so, the two golden elf mages still felt that their hearts were dripping blood, and they didn't even have the slightest intention to continue fighting, and in between casting spells, they couldn't help but cast a tentative glance at another companion who had not lost his scepter.
His eyes wandered, and he silently made a decision.
……
On the human side, it wasn't until the two scepters flew into the distance and were collected by a high-level mage and quickly checked that Xia Duo breathed a sigh of relief.
Regardless of the final outcome, just two good magical items will be worth the trip.
And as the commander and the biggest contributor to the victory, no one should have any opinions about having one piece for himself.
As for the other thing, between the thoughts, he also has an arrangement.
At the same time, Xia Duo also noticed the last two golden elf mages, they also had two scepters in their waists before, but after what had just happened, they had already held the scepters in their hands.
It is likely that the scepter has the ability to teleport instantly within the range of the [Forbidden Spell], and once they are alert, it is almost impossible to take it away.
Although Xia Duo felt a little regretful, he also knew the truth of contentment and acceptance when he saw it, so he increased the frequency of instructions in the psychic link and increased the suppression of elves.
After all, the impact of losing the scepter cannot be completely non-existent, and it is even very serious, which is the person with the most comprehensive situational awareness, Xia Duo clearly sensed that the cooperation of the elves began to be chaotic.
The source lies with the two Golden Elf mages who have lost their scepters.
At the beginning, there was only a slight slowness, which can be quickly compensated for in the casting team of more than thirty spellcasters, but every round is a little sluggish, and by the next round, this slowness is actually magnified by more than thirty times, which is very obvious.
After a single spell cast was countered by a human mage against multiple sets of key spell elements one after another, the already delicate balance collapsed almost instantly.
For the first time, a human restriction spell fell on the elf, which was different from the [Breaking Spell -2-1] that was almost sneak attack before, but regaining the advantage little by little in a head-to-head battle, and then producing a suppressive effect.
At this point, the elves have no room to turn the tables around.
- Elf skills are poor!
Xia Duo couldn't help but convey such thoughts in the Psychic Link, maybe there were various reasons, but it was indeed a human mage who was better than the elves head-on on the battlefield of life and death.
Not necessarily the first time, but definitely with dignity!
It can even be said to be a model of defeating the strong with the weak, and if it were not for Xia Duo, it would be almost difficult for the human side to organize a coordinated attack of more than twenty people.
Not to mention the cooperation of dozens of people who have a heart-to-heart connection like now, almost a joint spell casting.
If there is no Xia Duo, if you want to defeat more than thirty elven mages to cast spells together, it is completely impossible, but you must use some unconventional means.
For example, the elves' powerful scepters that can instantly teleport within the area of effect of the [Forbidden Technique], Xia Duo believes that the human side must also have them, at least Nia has brought them.
Like now, Xia Duo defeated the elves in a head-to-head duel without taking chances, and in his heart, he felt a satisfaction that he had never felt before.
He has always regarded the elves as his greatest rival, especially several trips to the projection plane, which allowed him to see the elves' past glory with his own eyes.
Even if it is declining now, there is a saying in my hometown that there are still three catties of nails in a rotten ship!
Whether it is from the perspective of total population or high-end power, the country of Comanso alone is more than a step ahead of Netheril, not to mention the other elven countries!
Surrounded by the Elven Kingdoms, it was hard for Xia Duo to imagine the pressure of the Great Arcanists above, but he knew very well that if he fell behind, he would be beaten, this was an eternal truth.
This Operation Plane of Oz is the first time that Xia Duo has participated in the direct conflict between Nessrael and Comanso, and the previous snowmelt competition has more or less some elements of watching a show, and it is not clear what is involved in it.
But this time, once the human race loses, not to mention anything else, at least this habitable plane may not be able to be saved, and this most intuitive benefit makes Xia Duo really feel the pressure brought by the elves.
Or more accurately - the pressure brought by the Elven Kingdom of Comanso, which made him feel like he was in the torrent of the times.
But at the same time, he also saw the potential of humanity and the potential of the color-resistant magic system, and this head-on victory made him see more possibilities in the future.
What a joy!
……
Xia Duo's joy continued to pass through the psychic link, and it also infected other high-level mages. However, until the dust settles, we must not let our guard down.
At present, it can indeed be said that it has won, but it is only a victory under conventional means, and now it depends on whether the elves use unconventional means.
At this point, Xia Duo actually has no bottom in his heart.
He knew that Nia had indeed brought a very powerful magic item, an offensive magic scroll of up to 10 rings left by her great-grandfather, the Grand Arcanist of Savile.
No one knows the exact power, but it's certainly not small.
Even Xia Duo brought with him a dragon skin scroll that he had "bought" from the elves who had fled to the Savile Territory.
Once activated, it immediately blocks teleportation and restricts flight, and summons a large area of chain lightning to attack all living creatures in the range except the user.
However, the princess did not give Niya any hole cards, even if other high-level mages have any unconventional means, they all consume their own heritage, which is a fluke mentality.
And it's very difficult to control, and there are many variables.
It's like Xia Duo's dragon skin scroll, if it was really inspired when he was with Niya, would he still bet on whether Niya would survive?
He and Nia can still have this kind of consideration if they are husband and wife, but other people don't necessarily have much friendship, and when they need to use unconventional means to save their lives, they don't think about the safety of others at all.
It doesn't have to be a magic scroll that attacks indiscriminately, it could be some other means that make it difficult for others to escape.
If you are unlucky, you may die at the hands of your own people than at the hands of the elves!
