Arcane Lord

Under this situation, Sha Duo not only did not relax at all, but became even more vigilant. Through the sensory information shared by other high-level mages in the spiritual link, he paid close attention to every move of every elf.

Including spell casting, words and deeds, and even demeanor, not a single change was missed.

In this way, while maintaining vigilance, Xia Duo methodically initiated the final work of closing the network. The first thing to do was naturally not to attack them directly, but to restrict teleportation and flight.

At this point, after the balance was broken, it was no longer difficult for the elves to stop them.

Soon, when the restricted field created by [Restriction Technique] was projected to the location of the elves, the elves collapsed before Sha Duo could cast another spell to restrict flight.

There were more than thirty elf mages in total, most of them were moon elves, and only four were golden elves. The moment the restraint spell came, the golden elves holding the scepter immediately chose to teleport away.

However, when they left, they did not forget the other two golden elves who had lost their scepters.

However, due to the limitation of the location of the core node of joint spell casting, one of the golden elves is still a few steps away from the two golden elves with scepters.

Although the distance is not far, at this moment, the difference is only a split second.

No, he had just pushed away the two moon elf mages in front of him who were blocking the way, and wanted to rush to his companions and leave together. Even the casters were still elves, and their skills were very strong, but in just this moment, they His companions did not wait for him.

When Xia Duo saw this scene, he became even more nervous. In fact, he hoped that the golden elf could run away with the other three.

In this way, without the golden elf who is obviously the superior one and may possess extraordinary means, the remaining moon elf mages can be manipulated at will.

But the next scene almost shocked him——

"My great-uncle is the High Mage Garanod, a close minister of the Crown Prince! I have a death curse on me! I have positioning magic! You can't kill me!"

There was not much noise in the battle between the mages. It could be said that it was peaceful. But in such a peaceful battlefield, such a sharp and almost broken cry suddenly broke out, which immediately attracted everyone's attention. .

It's the only remaining golden elf mage!

Even though Xia Duo was mentally connected to everyone and could share his thoughts, this situation still caused his thinking to stagnate for a moment.

The sudden appearance of such a situation really surprised him, and he actually came up with the idea that "elves are just like this"!

Almost as soon as they heard this voice, those moon elf mages gave up resistance in unison. After all, what else are they resisting?

In fact, after the three golden elf mages left, the resonance state was suspended. These moon elf mages understood that they had been abandoned.

Not only here, even if they are lucky enough to return to Cormanzo alive, there may not be any good results.

And after hearing the hoarse shouts of the last golden elf mage, they felt even more sad. They felt disheartened and completely lost their will to resist.

…

The golden elf mage's begging for mercy was naturally more than just a plea for mercy. He might also be looking for a chance to escape. However, after the other moon elf mage gave up resistance, Sha Duo focused most of his attention on him.

To be more precise, on the magic item placed on him.

With the elves at ease, Sha Duo also freed up more manpower, focusing on the only golden elf mage.

The influence of the previous [Breaking Spell-2-1] is still there. The magic items on this golden elf mage's aura are dim and obviously cannot be used yet.

Because he didn't know what kind of trump card the other party had hidden in him, and the name of the grandnephew of the high mage was indeed quite scary.

Only after completing the basic procedures of blocking teleportation, restricting flight, and physically confining him did Xia Duo order someone to remove the opponent's magic items.

Before that, Xia Duo didn't pay attention to any of the other party's remarks. Instead, he showed a more straightforward vigilance.

When everything finally settled, a question was placed in front of Sha Duo, and that was——

Are these elves going to be killed? Or not to kill?

If you don't want to kill them, you must keep an eye on them. Spellcasters are not like ordinary people, and they can be restrained by just shackles.

The key to the caster's spellcasting lies in the distortion of the magic network string by the will. This relationship is difficult to isolate.

In other words, if you want to truly restrict the caster, you must restrict the magic network or restrict their will.

It is indeed difficult to change the magic network environment. The key is that it is difficult to last, but there are tricks, such as restricting teleportation + closing the environment, which is actually equivalent to a mage prison.

As for restricting one's will, there are many ways to do it. The simplest is to knock someone unconscious directly. To be on the safe side, you can use psychic magic.

But neither building a prison nor spiritual magic will be of much help to the current situation. The former requires time, while the latter requires Xia Duo to appear in person.

Of course, Xia Duo had no problem in the past, but once he casts a spell in person, his focus will definitely be on casting the spell, and it is almost inevitable to loosen his control over the spiritual link.

In other words, when he teleported over, what he saw might not be the elven captives obediently waiting for him to cast spells, but a group of human mages who were panicked by the escape of the captives.

It's better to kill him to save trouble!

…

However, after thinking for a moment, Xia Duo decided not to kill!

In fact, it can be seen from the previous words of Archmage Fulstrum that the higher-ups do not mind killing elves in battle, and even encourage killing as many as possible.

But if the elves surrender or are not in battle, they cannot be killed. Not only cannot they be killed, they cannot even be humiliated. They must be given certain treatment.

The main plane may need these captives in exchange for other benefits.

Furthermore, considering it more realistically, between killing and not killing, not killing leaves more room. After all, after killing, when you really need to use it, do you have to find a way to resurrect it?

Perhaps some valuable and difficult prisoners can be killed first and then resurrected when needed, but it is obvious that these elves are not worth the cost of resurrection.

In Netheril, Shado only knew that a death priest from Sevington had the ability to resurrect, and the cost was high, and the threshold was high.

It is simply impossible to use it as a routine method.

Therefore, sometimes taking prisoners is really a troublesome thing. Fortunately, Xia Duo was originally planning to notify everyone to evacuate, but the elves came too fast, so they had to stop.

So he asked Anglin to contact Archmage Fulstrom again through the spiritual link to ask how to deal with these elf captives.

Before that, Xia Duo could only work harder and keep an eye on them in person.
