Chapter 857 Killing Two Birds with One Stone
After Witch Dushan took the Shadow Nightmare Tree into the city of Moshantir, the highly cultivated Witch Haslan couldn't help but scold her.
Not only because they know how ruthless Witch Dushan's methods are, but also because they know how unique and powerful the nightmare tree transformed from the totem tree is.
They had formulated a large number of combat plans around the totem tree, but none of them could be used on the Tukan people.
On the contrary, it was their people who tasted the nightmare blow of the nightmare tree first.
If they were left alone, even if they killed Tukan's army, the city of Moshantir would be destroyed, leaving an even greater disaster for the Kingdom of Leatherman.
“I didn’t expect that the power of fate would be so powerful, and it would take an unexpected turn!” Gavin sighed in his heart that only he understood.
Because of his intervention, this battle across the lake has undergone great changes. At least the situation has become more unfavorable to the Tukan people. If it continues to be delayed, even if they do not stay here all, It will also severely damage their main force, leaving them without the strength to continue their westward march.
What I didn’t expect was that the turning point in this war would also be on me.
The dark witch Dushan did not take the Shadow Nightmare Tree to hide in the depths of the Shadow Plane as they expected, but came out so quickly to make trouble, and forcefully caused As soon as Wei came out of the siege, he rescued Zhao.
"My lords, prepare to gather the troops and let their main force pass." Gavin suggested on his own initiative, "Moshan Tier City must be saved. Witch Dushan should be targeting the 200,000 soldiers and civilians in the city. Once all their souls fall into the hands of this evil witch, no one knows how big the nightmare will be.
At that time, not only. The disaster of the Leatherman Kingdom, and even the whole world
I believe that in order to gain more power, she will use this nightmare to harvest souls unscrupulously
Compared to such enemies. , this Tukan army is a small disaster.”
This is not alarmist, but a fact that they need to face, and the situation is even worse.
From the previous series of sacrifices, it is easy to see that Witch Dushan has no humanity at all. She will do anything for her own benefit.
But this terrorist snatched another nuclear warhead from them.
The threat posed by the Shadow Nightmare Tree cannot be solved by ordinary people. Once a large number of Haslam witches are transferred away, Yamen Khan will be unstoppable without restraint. If you are not careful, the situation will be It will flip over and cause a lot of casualties to the defending berserkers, so the gain outweighs the loss.
It is better to evacuate when you take the initiative, let Tukan's army pass, and then return to support Moshantir City.
“The commander’s suggestion is right. Even if Tukan’s main force is let go, we still have a chance to defeat it, but once Dushan becomes powerful, no one can contain her.”< br>
"I also agree to temporarily give up the main force of Tukan and return to Moshantir, but we can't go back in such disgrace. By the time we arrive, Dushan will probably have already heard the news and ran away. We must find a way to completely eliminate her, or destroy the Nightmare Tree Take it back."
"Why don't we want to, but it's not easy, the tree is now there. When connected with the Shadow Plane, they will escape into the depths of the Shadow Plane at every turn, and we have no ability to pursue them deeply."
"Moshantir City is our opportunity, and the six-element city defense is there. The Mystery Lock was built by gathering the power of ten Haslan witches. It will not be broken so easily. At best, they are Suppress it, if we take the opportunity to restart it, turn it into a cage, isolate all planes, and trap Dushan and the Nightmare Tree in it."
"No, let's not talk about our attack on Moshantir City. The damage to the city defense lock is not clear, and it is unknown whether it can be repaired before Witch Dushan escapes, even if it can be done. , will also turn Moshantir City into a dream battlefield, and it will be difficult for those citizens to survive.”
“That’s true. I didn’t consider this suggestion well. I just drove her away. It was really wrong. It makes people feel unwilling, no one knows when she will appear again and give us a fatal blow.”
These Haslan witches are obviously unwilling to give up and are actively discussing tactics to recover their losses from the dark witch Dushan.
Compared to the Tukan army, they value their dark sister more.
This is also true. Even if these Tukan people once occupied most of the territory of the Leatherman Kingdom, the sum of the destruction they caused before was not as good as the benefits brought here after the dark witch cooperated with them. blow.
Hearing this, Gavin couldn't help but interject: "My lords, we have ignored a problem before. If we can solve this problem, we may be able to start from this aspect."
"What's the problem?"
"The compatibility of the shadow plane and the dreamland." Gavin directly shared his knowledge of dreams, "Whether it is the dragon oak dreamland, the totem dreamland, or the totem land, in fact, they are all understanding of the etheric plane. A kind of weaving and reshaping, the dreams are connected because of this.
But the shadow plane makes. It is the land of souls and the land of shadows in the material plane, and is isolated from the etheric plane by the material plane.
What will happen if Witch Dushan drags the nightmare tree into the shadow plane. I don’t need to say more about the situation, right?”
“Yes, how could we forget this? The erosion of our totem land has always been relatively inefficient and slow, because she has no way to directly set foot in the totem land from the shadow plane. She must reveal her whereabouts in the material plane every time, so that we can follow the traces and destroy her. Although the nightmare and dream are unique, they cannot break the many restrictions between the planes."
"That is to say, Du Shan cannot use the nightmare tree to launch a nightmare attack on the material plane in the shadow plane, because this is a cross-three plane. She must send the nightmare tree into the material plane, Only in this way can the power of the nightmare tree be greatly reduced."
"This is our chance. As long as we find a way to lock the Nightmare Tree in the material plane, we have a chance to take it back or even destroy it."
Gavin woke up the dreamer with a word and let this group of people wake up. Witch Leatherman thought of something more.
These things he mentioned are actually magic common sense, which many magic apprentices will learn when they first get involved in magic.
The reason why those Leatherman witches didn't think of it was not because of their abilities, but because the whole situation took a turn for the worse after Witch Dushan took away the nightmare tree. They were so busy running around that they didn't even think about it. Time to study the Nightmare Tree.
On the contrary, Gavin had more time to conduct in-depth analysis.
After all, the relationship between the Nightmare Tree and the Balancer of Nature is special. Who knows whether the terrorist will suddenly set his sights on the dream priesthood of the Balancer of Nature and become a strong competitor for it. He may even follow the relationship between the two parties. Come to the door.
His desire to take back the Nightmare Tree or destroy it is no weaker than those of these Leatherman witches.
“Actually, we still have a misunderstanding in our thinking.” Gai Wen said in an astonishing voice, “Because the other party used a lot of shadow power and even shadow dragons, we subconsciously believed that the other party had escaped before. In the shadow plane, but when I conveyed the order to Lord Light Spirit, I felt that the situation there was not like that in the shadow plane. The Shadow Plane is more like a plane purely composed of shadows, so I have reason to suspect that there may be a Shadow Demiplane there.”
The Shadow Plane and the Shadow Demiplane exist. There are great similarities, let alone ordinary people, even many magic apprentices who are not skilled in magic can easily confuse the two.
In fact, the two are essentially different.
There is no need to say more about the shadow plane. It is a dark copy of the material plane. The two are interdependent and independent of each other.
Strictly speaking, the shadow demiplane is equivalent to the material plane and is also an independent plane. However, the various physical laws of this plane are not perfect, so it is called For a demiplane.
If the entire multiverse is described as a pile of bubbles, then each plane is a bubble, some big and some small, with its own unique laws inside, and the bubble wrapping the bubbles is the ether.
The distance between each bubble is not certain. They may be infinitely far away, but under the squeeze of a certain force, they will continue to get closer and become only one layer of bubbles away. As long as you pass through here (ether), you can enter other bubbles (planes).
This is the popular explanation of the cross-plane of ether.
Theoretically speaking, the dream world can also be regarded as a demiplane, because it is independent of the material plane. In the etheric plane, it creates its own world and activates its own laws. In fact, demiplanes are far more common than imagined.
Not to mention the gods, even those powerful spellcasters may create their own demiplane. Many gods’ kingdoms are actually created by them. A demiplane created by his own divine power.
The shadow demiplane is an ancient, self-formed demiplane. It is known as the end of all shadows. It is not the origin (the origin of life and matter) like the elemental plane, but It is the end of all shadows, where shadows end.
It is not difficult to imagine what this world is like. The shadow is always in the ever-changing darkness. It has a mysterious connection and role between light and darkness. Some even believe that the nature of this demiplane It's shadow matter - a half-element mixed with equal amounts of positive and negative energy.
Many creatures in the shadow plane also regard this place as a paradise, such as shadows, ghosts, night shadows, etc.
The Shadow Walking Technique may not necessarily enter the Shadow Plane, but may also be the Shadow Demiplane. This is the main reason why the two planes are easily confused.
“The Shadow Plane and the Shadow Demiplane are two completely different concepts. If Dushan extends her hand into the latter, she can directly use Nightmare unscrupulously in the Ethereal Plane. The power we discussed earlier will be difficult to implement.”
“Sister Guangling, you have personally entered there, and you have the same feeling as the Commander. Do you feel it?”
“After the commander reminded me, the feeling there was indeed a little different from the shadow plane. I thought I had entered the dark realm deep in the shadow plane. Because, now it seems that we may have misidentified the shadow demiplane, but there is no 100% evidence for this matter, and further verification is needed.”
The Witch of Light is extremely cautious. After all, this matter involves a lot. Once the judgment is wrong, a series of subsequent strategies and tactics will be wrong.
"I also have a lot of speculation." Gavin did not force all Leatherman witches to admit their opinions, "No matter whether she entered the shadow demiplane or the shadow plane before, as long as she entered She is in the material plane, so I have a way to trick her. Even if I can't get rid of her completely, I will do it to a great extent. Limit her ability so that she can't do evil as she does now. "Oh? Come on, tell me!"
As long as it's not in battle. The Slan witches all put down their work and looked like they were listening attentively. They were not ordinary interested in tricking the Dushan witch.
This dark sister of theirs, like a tarsal maggot, has been attached to the Kingdom of Leatherman for nearly a thousand years. They tried every means but could not completely eradicate or get rid of it.
I wonder if the young man in front of them can bring them any more surprises. There are some things that cannot be measured by age, at least Gavin is in this category.
“I wonder if you have heard of the demiplane of fear?” Gavin asked without answering.
"The demiplane of fear? You are not talking about the dark world called the Demon Realm that was stripped and twisted by the dark divine power from the main material plane, right?" The Light Witch asked.
Gavin admitted, "I'm talking about this demiplane. The most powerful and evil thing about this dark demiplane is that it is like a spider web, trying to stick to everything that falls on it. The creatures above make them struggle in pain in a dark and twisted world, but they still have no way to completely escape."
"You want to send Witch Dushan into the demiplane of fear, so that the binding properties here can Tie it down?”
"This is a good idea, but it is easier said than done. We have only heard of this demiplane, but have never been exposed to it, let alone sent Witch Dushan into it. She will not be obedient. Cooperative.”
"Commander, is there any way to send Witch Dushan into this demiplane?"
There was unconcealed surprise in Witch Haslan's question. After all, such a dangerous existence, It is not accessible to ordinary people.
“Of course I can’t do this, but someone I know may have this ability.” Gavin said with a smile, “Speaking of which, this person is also destined to you, because you share the same Enemy, she was caught in the teleportation trap of a legendary red-robed mage and was sent to the demiplane of fear."
The person he was talking about was none other than the legendary arcanist Fei. Lansini.
Normally, Filancini had no way to leave her place of imprisonment, but she obtained the method of constructing a dream from Gavin, and after she began to construct her own dream, her range of activities began to increase significantly.
Theoretically, she can travel between different dreams through the connection between dreams, including the dragon oak dream.
But Gavin did not open the Dragon Oak Dreamland to him because he was very afraid of the strong adsorption of the demiplane of fear, lest Filancini would give part of that demiplane to him when she came over. Bring it over and tie the Dragon Oak Dreamland to that dark world. After all, the nature of the demiplane makes it easier for both parties to annex it.
But if they were to face Dushan's nightmare dream, the powerful adsorption power of the dark demiplane was exactly what they wanted.
“The legendary red-robed mage? Do you know his name?”
Upon hearing about the red-robed mage, these Haslan witches became even more interested. Their hatred of these evil bald heads was not at all inferior to that of their dark sisters.
"Sarebert!" Gavin replied.
During the third tryst under the full moon, he had already obtained this name from Filancini.
"Former Chief of the Illusion Department, Sarebert, ha, you don't happen to know his whereabouts, right? He still doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, and he can't even predict his condition. Those red-robed mages have always speculated that he was It's sealed, and it's suspected that we did it." There was unconcealed surprise in Witch Haslam's voice.
Such a big deal!
Gavin took a breath of air. The weight of a red-robed chief mage can be compared to these Haslan witches. Most of them can achieve one-on-one confrontation.
The red-robed mage is the chief of the illusion department, which means that the opponent was not only the number one in the illusion department, but also the conspiracy method.
It doesn’t seem strange if you think about it carefully.
After all, Filancini is not a bad person. She is a legendary arcanist who holds the Scroll of Iolum. Ordinary legendary mages cannot trick her.
This also reflects the gold content of Filancini from the side. After all, she has been trapped in the mist world, and the power she can use every time we meet is very limited. How powerful she is, Gavin originally I really can’t count.
This made Gavin even more eager to rescue her.
After all, after seeing the powerful strength of the Leatherman witches, he realized more deeply the importance of a top spellcaster to a force, and this was what he lacked the most.
As for powerful beings like them, most of them have their own owners, and they are the leaders of a certain force. It is basically impossible to get them to serve for them. At best, they need cooperation.
Flancini, 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. I'm sorry for letting you take the blame for my friend."
"Haha, we don't mind taking a few more scapegoats like this."
"Yes, if there is a chance, it would be best to kill a few more chiefs, and if we can also kill the first chief, Sazas , then the whole world will be much more peaceful.”
“If you have the chance, you must introduce this friend to us.”
The Haslan witches were joking for a while. , shifting the topic to the main point.
"How do you plan to send Witch Dusan into the Demiplane of Fear?"
