Chapter 854: Two Birds with One Stone
After the Witch Dushan entered the city of Moshtier with the Shadow Nightmare Tree, the highly cultivated Haslan Witch couldn't help but scold her mother.
Not only because they knew how ruthless the methods of the Dusan Witch were, but also because they knew how unique and powerful the Nightmare Tree transformed from the Totem Tree was.
They had made a lot of plans around the totem tree, but none of them were able to use them on the Tucans.
Instead, it was their people who tasted the nightmare blow of the Nightmare Tree first.
If left unchecked, even if they eat the army of Tucan, the city of Moshttier will be devastated, leaving an even greater disaster for the kingdom of Lesserman.
"I didn't expect the power of fate to be so strong, there was an unexpected reversal!" Gavin let out a sigh in his heart that only he understood.
Because of his own intervention, this battle of crossing the lake has changed greatly, at least the situation has become more unfavorable for the Tucans, and if they continue to drag on, even if they don't keep all of them here, it will severely damage their main force, so that they have no strength to continue westward.
What I didn't expect was that the turning point of this war should also be on me.
The dark witch Du Shan did not take the Shadow Nightmare Tree to hibernate in the depths of the Shadow Plane as they expected, but ran out so quickly to make waves, and forcibly made a way to save Zhao.
"Ladies and gentlemen, prepare to gather the army and let their main force go." Gavin took the initiative to propose, "Moshtier City can't be saved, the Dusan witch should go to the 200,000 soldiers and civilians in the city, once their souls fall into the hands of this evil witch, no one knows how big the nightmare dream will be."
When the time comes, it will be a disaster not only for the kingdom of Lesserman, but even for the whole world.
It is believed that in order to gain greater power, she will use this nightmare dream to harvest souls unscrupulously.
Compared to such an enemy, this Tucan army is a minor calamity. ”
This is not alarmist, but the fact that they need to face it, and the situation is even worse.
It is not difficult to see from the previous repeated sacrifices that the Witch Dusan has no humanity at all, and she can do anything for her own benefit.
It was this terrorist who snatched a nuclear warhead from them.
The threat posed by the Shadow Nightmare Tree is not something that ordinary people can solve, once the Haslan Witches are pulled away in large numbers, the Yamen Khan will be unstoppable without containment, and if he is not careful, the situation will be reversed, and a large number of casualties will be inflicted on those defending berserkers, and the gains will outweigh the losses.
It is better to take the initiative to evacuate when you take the initiative, and after letting the Tucan army pass, you can return to the city of Moshtier.
"The commander's suggestion is very right, even if Tucan's main force is let go, we still have a chance to defeat, but once Du Shan is allowed to sit big, no one will be able to contain her."
"I also agreed to temporarily abandon the main force of Tucan and return to support Moshantil, but we can't go back so disgraced, when we arrive, it is estimated that Dusan has already heard the news and run, we must think of completely destroying her, or recapture the Nightmare Tree."
"We don't want to, but it's easier said than done, that tree is now connected to the Phantom Plane, and it will escape into the depths of the Phantom Plane at every turn, and we simply don't have the ability to chase it deeply."
"Moshtier City is our chance, the Six Elements City Defense Locks are built with the power of ten Haslan witches, they will not be so easily broken, they are suppressed at best now, if we take the opportunity to restart it, turn it into a cage, isolate all planes, and trap Dussan and the Nightmare Tree in it."
"No, let's not say that we don't know about the damage to the castle defense lock of Moshantier, and it is unknown whether it can be repaired before the Dussan witch escapes, even if we can do it, it will turn Moshantier City into a dream battlefield, and it will be difficult for those citizens to survive."
"That's true, this suggestion is that I didn't think it through, just to drive her away, it's really unwilling, no one knows when she will come out again and give us a fatal blow."
These Haslan witches are clearly unwilling and are actively exploring tactics to recover the losses from the dark witch Dussan.
They value their dark sister more than the Tucan army.
In fact, even if these Tucans once occupied most of the territory of the Lesserman Kingdom, the amount of damage they had caused before would not be as great as the damage that the Dark Witch had brought to this place after she cooperated with them.
Hearing this, Gavin couldn't help but interject: "Ladies and gentlemen, we have overlooked a problem earlier, and if we can solve this problem, we may be able to start from this aspect. ”
"What's the problem?"
"Shadow Plane Compatibility with Dreams." Gavin directly shared his perception of dreams, "Whether it is the Dragon Oak Dream, or the Totem Dream, or the Totem Land, in fact, it is a kind of weaving and reshaping of the etheric plane, and the dreams are connected to each other because of this.
However, the shadow plane, as the soul land and shadow land of the material plane, is separated from the etheric plane by the material plane.
I don't need to say more about what would happen if Witch Doussan dragged the Nightmare Tree into the Shadow Plane? ”
"yes, how did we forget that? Dussan's erosion of our totem land has been relatively inefficient and slow, because she has no way to set foot in the totem land directly from the shadow plane, and has to expose her whereabouts in the physical plane every time, so that we can follow the traces and destroy her plots. ”
"In other words, Du Shan has no way to use the Nightmare Tree to launch a Nightmare Strike on the material plane in the shadow plane, because this is a cross-triple plane, and she must send the Nightmare Tree into the material plane before she can cast the Nightmare Dream Realm, so the power of the Nightmare Tree will be greatly reduced."
"This is our chance, as long as we find a way to lock the Nightmare Tree in the physical plane, we have a chance to reclaim it, or even destroy it."
Gavin's words woke up the dreamers, and the group of Letherman witches thought of something more.
The things he said were actually common sense of magic, and many magic apprentices would learn it when they first dabbled in magic.
The reason why those Lesserman witches didn't think about it was not because of their ability, but because since Dusan Witch took away the Nightmare Tree, the whole situation has taken a turn for the worse, and they are so busy that they don't have time to study the Nightmare Tree at all.
Instead, Gavin had more time for a more in-depth analysis.
After all, the relationship between the Nightmare Tree and the Natural Balancer is special, and who knows if that terrorist will suddenly set his sights on the Dream Priesthood of the Natural Balancer and become a strong competitor for it, and may even follow the relationship between the two parties and touch the door.
His heart for reclaiming the Nightmare Tree or destroying it is no weaker than that of the Lytherman Witches.
"In fact, there is another misunderstanding in our thinking." Gavin said in a shocking voice, "Because the other party has used a lot of shadow power, and even the shadow dragon, we subconsciously believe that the other party has escaped into the shadow plane before, but when I gave the order to Lord Light, I felt that the situation there was not like it was in the shadow plane, but more like a plane composed of pure shadows, so I have reason to suspect that it may be a shadow half-plane there." ”
There is a great similarity between the shadow plane and the shadow half-plane, not to mention ordinary people, even many magic apprentices who are not skilled in magic are easy to confuse the two.
In fact, there is a difference between the two in essence.
The Shadow Plane doesn't need to be further asaid, this is a dark replica of the Material Plane, and the two are interdependent and separate into a single world.
Strictly speaking, the shadow half-plane is the same as the material plane, and it is also an independent plane, but the various physical laws of this plane are not sound, so it is called the half-plane.
If the entire multiverse is described as a bubble pile, then each plane is the bubbles, some big and some small, with their own unique laws inside, and the bubble wrapped in the bubble is the ether.
The distance between the bubbles is not fixed, they may be infinitely far away, but under the pressure of some force, they will keep getting closer, and become only a layer of foam away, as long as they pass through here (ether), they can enter other bubbles (planes).
This is the popular explanation of the aetheric transplane.
Theoretically, dreams can also be seen as a half-plane, because it belongs to the material plane, independent of the material plane, in the etheric plane, creating its own world and opening its own laws.
In fact, halfplanes are far more common than you think.
Not to mention the gods, even those powerful spellcasters may create their own half-planes, and the kingdom of many gods is actually the half-plane created by them with their own divine power.
The shadow half-plane is an ancient, self-forming half-plane, which is called the end of all shadows, and it is not the origin (the origin of life and matter) like the elemental plane, but the end of all shadows, the place where the shadows end.
It is not difficult to imagine what the world is like, the shadow is always in the ever-changing darkness, it has a mysterious connection and role between light and darkness, and some people even believe that the essence of this half-plane is shadow matter - a semi-element composed of an equal amount of positive energy mixed with negative energy.
Many creatures in the Shadow Plane will also consider this place as a paradise, such as Shadows, Ghosts, Night Shadows, and so on.
It is not necessarily the shadow plane that the shadow technique enters, but it may also be the shadow half-plane, which is the main reason why the two planes are easily confused.
"The Shadow Plane and the Shadow Half-Plane are two completely different concepts, if Du San puts her hand into the latter, she can directly use the power of nightmares in the Aether Plane with impunity! The tactics we discussed earlier are difficult to implement. ”
"Sister Lightling, you've ever been in there yourself, do you feel the same way as the Commander?"
"After being reminded by the commander, the feeling given to me there is indeed a little different from the shadow plane, I thought it was because I entered the dark realm deep in the shadow plane, and now it seems that it is very likely that we misidentified the shadow half plane, but there is no 100% evidence for this matter, and further verification is needed."
The Soul Witch is extremely cautious, after all, there are a lot of things involved in this matter, and once the judgment is wrong, it will cause a series of subsequent strategies and tactics to be wrong.
"I also have a lot of speculation." Gavin didn't force all the Witches of Lythman to admit her opinion, "Regardless of whether she entered the shadow half-plane or the shadow plane before, as long as she is in the material plane, I have a way to trick her, even if there is no way to get rid of her completely, it will greatly limit her ability, so that she can't do as unscrupulously as she sees it." ”
"Oh? What's the solution? Hurry up and hear it! ”
As long as it wasn't for the Haslan witches in the battle, they all put down their work and showed a look of listening intently, they were not generally interested in the Witches of Pit Dushan.
Their dark sister, like a maggot on a tarsal bone, has been attached to the kingdom of Lythman for nearly a thousand years, and they have tried everything they can, but they can't completely eradicate or get rid of it.
I don't know if the young man in front of me can surprise them again, there are some things, but there is no way to measure them by age, at least Gavin is in this ranks.
"I wonder if you've heard of the Dreadful Half-Plane?" Gavin didn't answer the rhetorical question.
"Half-plane of fear? You can't be talking about the dark world called the Demon Domain, which has been stripped and distorted from the main material plane by the dark divine power, right? The Luminous Witch asked rhetorically.
Gavin admitted, "I'm talking about this half-plane, the most powerful and evil thing about this dark half-plane, is that it's like a spider's web, trying to stick to all the creatures that fall on it, making them struggle in a dark and twisted world, but they never get rid of it completely. ”
"You're trying to send the Dusan Witch into the Dread Half-Plane and let the bondage properties here bind it?"
"It's a good idea, but it's easier said than done, we've only heard of this half-plane, but we've never touched it, let alone sent the Dussan witch in, and she won't cooperate obediently."
"Could it be that Lord Commander, there is a way to send the Dusan Witch into this half-plane?"
In the Haslan witch's inquiry, there was a surprise that could not be concealed, after all, this kind of danger exists, and it is not accessible to ordinary people.
"I can't do that, of course, but someone I know probably does." Gavin smiled and said, "Speaking of which, this person is also destined for you, because you have a common enemy, she was sent to the Half-Plane of Fear after falling into the teleportation trap of a legendary red-robed mage. ”
The person he was talking about was none other than the legendary Arcanist Philanciene.
Normally, there is no way for Philancini to leave her place of captivity, but she obtained the method of constructing dreams from Gavin and began to construct her own dreams, and her range of activities began to increase dramatically.
Theoretically, she can travel between different dreams, including the Dragon Oak dream, through the connection between dreams.
However, Gavin did not open the Dragon Oak Dream to him, because he was very afraid of the strong adsorption of the Fear Half-Plane, lest Philansia come over, he would bring a part of the Half-Plane and tie the Dragon Oak Dream to that dark world, after all, the nature of the Half-Plane makes it easier for both sides to annex.
But if it was against Du San's nightmare dream, the powerful attraction of the dark half-plane was exactly what they wanted.
"Legendary red-robed mage? Do you know his name? ”
Hearing the red-robed mage, these Haslan witches became even more interested, and their hatred for these evil bald heads was not in the slightest way inferior to their dark sisters.
"Sarlebert!" Gavin replied.
At the time of the third full-moon tryst, he had already received the name from Philansini.
"Former Illusion Department Chief Sarlebert, ha, you don't happen to know his whereabouts, do you? He didn't know whether he was alive or dead until now, and he couldn't even predict his state, and those red-robed mages had been guessing that he had been sealed, and they suspected that we had done it. There was a surprise in the voice of the Haslan witch.
Such a big deal!
Gavin gasped, the weight of a red-robed mage chief weighed, it was completely possible to refer to these Haslan witches, between the two of them, most of them could be one-on-one.
The red-robed mage is the head of the illusion department, which means that the other party is not only the No.1 in the strength of the illusion department, but also the conspiracy methods.
When you think about it, it doesn't seem strange.
After all, Philansienne is not a good stubble, she is a legendary arcanist who holds the scroll of Iorum, and ordinary legendary mages can't shadow her.
This also reflects the gold content of Philancienie from the side, after all, she has been trapped in the misty world, and the power she can use every time she meets is very limited, and Gavin really didn't count how strong she is.
This made Gavin even more eager to save her heart.
After all, after seeing the powerful strength of the Lesserman witches, he realized more deeply the importance of a top-level spellcaster to a force, and this is what he lacks the most.
And a powerful existence like them, most of them are masters of famous flowers, and they are the leaders of a certain force, and it is basically impossible to make them serve themselves, at best, they are cooperative.
Filansini, who is alone, is undoubtedly an excellent choice.
Suppressing the joy in his heart, Gavin admitted, "He was indeed killed by that friend of mine, and his soul was sealed, sorry, let you take the blame for my friend." ”
"Haha, such a black pot, we don't mind carrying a few more bites."
"That's right, if you have the opportunity, it's best to kill a few more chiefs, if you can also kill the first chief Sazas, then the whole world will be much more peaceful."
"If you have the opportunity, you must introduce this friend to us."
The Haslan witches laughed and shifted the conversation to the point.
"How are you going to send the Dusan Witch into the Dread Half-Plane?"
