Chapter 3416: Support from all sides, back to Elan
So Shado simply didn't mention the plan to let Belluno settle in the Narrow Sea. He only said that if the Alliance didn't capture Belluno, he would help Belluno seize a piece of offshore territory in his personal name, which was completely within his ability.
It was not an excessive promise. In fact, the real deal he wanted to reach with Belluno was to improve the magic system, but this was not just about sending some reinforcements.
It required both parties - Belluno and Netheril to sign a formal covenant. The complexity of it was definitely not something that could be solved in a few words at the moment. He planned to mention this after the war.
As for Belluno directly abandoning the imperfect magic system after the war and returning to traditional elven magic, or directly introducing Nether magic, it was unlikely.
Let's not talk about returning to tradition, which was the most unlikely. If Belluno chose to copy Nether magic directly without any promise, it would actually be equivalent to choosing to follow behind Nether, and Shado was actually happy to see it.
After all, any magic system is the result of countless wizards' painstaking research, and the first-mover advantage is very obvious. Without the help of Netheril, Belluno would never be able to smoothly switch to Nether magic, or improve the existing Belluno magic.
So for Belluno, Shado is actually sure.
…
The three consultants had no objection, and Ira listened to Queen Tess, so Belluno's support for the Alliance was decided in a few words. At this time, Ira also returned to the Hall of Stars and reported to the queen:
"The team has been assembled and can set off at any time."
"Then let's go!"
It was Shado who spoke. He really didn't want to stay here, not that Belluno was bad.
In fact, Belluno's environment is very similar to the [Blue Crystal Plane] owned by the Tower of Time. It's just that there is no positive energy glimmer everywhere in the Blue Crystal Plane, but with the existence of the Radiant Tower, its coverage area does not seem dark, but a pearl in the deep sea. If time permits, Shado is actually very happy to play here for a while.
But time does not allow it.
After declining the farewell ceremony arranged by Queen Tess, Shado took Terran and others to board the magic ship [Riptide] that they had taken when they came.
The 100 land walkers who came to Belluno to support the alliance, led by Ira, directly drove the water-based magic tools to create undercurrents and sailed without vehicles in the deep sea, or used undercurrents as vehicles.
Their sailing speed was not slower than [Riptide], and even faster, which can be seen from the fact that they often changed directions to circle the Riptide, but in the forward direction, they never surpassed the Riptide.
…
Compared with going to Belluno, the speed of the Riptide on the return to Sinaria was obviously faster, and it took less than an hour to return to the port of departure.
After Shado and others landed, Ira also walked ashore with the land walkers on the waves. Since they had already communicated with Sinaria on the way back, the landing of this group of fully armed land walkers did not cause any commotion.
However, the temporary cordon in the port area inevitably attracted the Sinaria elves living nearby to come and watch. When they saw a group of sea elves coming ashore, they couldn't help but exclaimed.
However, these had nothing to do with Shado. In the teleportation hall, he met Queen Sinaria for the first time. Originally, Shado was not going to meet her because he was in a hurry to return to the Alliance.
But after hearing that Belluno provided a group of land walkers, Queen Sinaria also decided to provide a team of Sinaria mages to support the Alliance, and even came to the teleportation hall in person.
In this case, Shado could only delay for a few more minutes to meet the other party.
"Your Majesty, on behalf of the Alliance, I thank you for your support for the Alliance. I still have a mission to do, so I won't stay any longer. Welcome to the Alliance headquarters."
...
With the fifty elite mages provided by Sinaria, Shado finally set out on his way home and left the teleportation array. Ilfarran didn't do anything to delay his time.
It was just that Tyron left and didn't follow him back to the Alliance headquarters.
In the end, Xia Duo returned to the Alliance headquarters with a missing high-level wizard (the sea elf Ira) and 150 elite wizards. Of course, the most important thing was to bring back a key investigation clue.
When he arrived at the Alliance headquarters, Xia Duo directly incorporated Ira and others into his own command, that is, only he could command them in the command network, so as to prevent the Alliance from treating them as cannon fodder.
After giving these foreign support wizards special spiritual network connectors, Xia Duo asked a staff member of the headquarters to help these support wizards familiarize themselves with the spiritual network, and he himself set out on the journey again without stopping.
…
Elan.
Xia Duo came with the robe of missing. He stood in the sky and looked down at the earth. The area of Elan was not small. At the beginning, Yeerlan almost cut off a small half of Sluwende's territory. Among them, the population of millions was scattered in this large land and was not concentrated.
This also brought considerable difficulty to the current transfer work. After only looking at it from the sky for a while, Xia Duo found the trajectory of Yeerlan's transfer of Elan people.
Elan was divided into more than ten districts, and then a teleportation array was built in the middle of each district. Soldiers were sent to summon, drive, and lure the people of Elan to the teleportation array in each district.
During this period, Elan officials also stepped in to maintain a basic transfer.
The other side of the teleportation array is neither in Yeerlan nor in Sluwende, Elan's original homeland, but in Yongle City. In fact, it was originally planned to be sent to Everiska first.
But later, when Shado knew about it, he decided to temporarily settle the Elan people in Yongle City. Anyway, he had promised Everiska that it would be temporarily evacuated to Yongle City when it was attacked by the Illuminati.
It doesn't matter if there are more Elan people, anyway, they can accommodate them.
Both Yeerlan and Sluwende actually intend to accept these Elan people, but they are the two hostile to each other and are willing to accept them, and no one can convince the other.
Moreover, both sides cannot bear the political risk of ignoring the Elan people and directly destroying Elan, so they can only make concessions to each other and temporarily settle the Elan people in Everiska, and finally send them to Yongle City.
After observing for a while, Shado basically understood the topography of the Elan area. This is probably a long strip area that is longer in the east-west direction and narrower in the south, with a total area of nearly 20,000 square kilometers.
It is about the size of two prefecture-level cities in Xiaduo's hometown.
Compared with Xiaduo's hometown, the size of Elan is really nothing, but it is not easy to dig deep in such a large area to search for clues of the Dark Region.
It can even be said to be very difficult.
