————On the way~~

Tess, the Queen of Tides, was very angry about this. On the one hand, it was of course Shado's methods that she couldn't understand, and she lamented the strength of the alliance. On the other hand, the betrayal of Dali, a close friend, made her very disappointed.

Chateau also took this opportunity to invite Belluno to join the alliance. This was more or less threatening, but it was also for Belluno's sake.

The war between the Illuminati and the Alliance involves the survival of the entire main plane. Belluno is already involved, so he should not think about being alone. He must always choose a side, whether he chooses the Alliance or the Illuminati. It is self-evident.

Queen Tess finally chose to join the Northland Alliance as in the previous timeline, and Sha Duo was also deeply pleased with this: "Her Majesty the Queen made a right choice."

For Tess, now that she has made a decision, she must implement it to the end. She immediately told Shado: "I will send a force to land to support the alliance's war."

The development of the matter was similar to the previous timeline. Sha Duo was glad that he did not sneak in privately, but waited for Elfarang's reply. In this way, the trip was considered a success.

…

The Avatar returned to the alliance headquarters with the messenger Mera from Sinaria, the messenger Ila from Belluno, and the two magic forces from the two countries that supported the alliance, causing a huge response in the headquarters.

We are now in the early stages of the Illuminati completely breaking through its pretense and engaging in a decisive battle with the Alliance. The Alliance has such limited strength, and even the countries are completely unprepared, especially since Erlan is still in civil strife at this moment.

The new force brought back by Sha Duo can immediately play an important role. At the same time, the news he brought back about a sea elf mage joining the Illuminati also made the countries in the alliance determined to start mobilization.

But just like the previous timeline, it is still difficult to persuade various countries to agree to open up spell support permissions, and Shado also put forward his own conditions as usual--

Countries are allowed to send elite mages to Yongle City to personally operate Yongle City's war spell system to provide remote support to local battlefields in various countries.

It's just that this is still not a small thing that countries can easily agree to, but no matter what, the progress of mobilization and assembly of countries in this timeline is much faster than the timelines that Xia Duo has experienced before.

As for each local battlefield, although the Illuminati no longer concealed it, it did not immediately start a decisive battle on the timeline. It was still a regular battle situation with winners and losers.

In this regard, on the one hand, Xia Duo seized the time to anchor those battlefield events where the alliance won, and on the other hand, he actively intervened in various local battlefields, especially the battlefields where the alliance failed, and collected as much intelligence as possible.

And what he is most concerned about is undoubtedly the battle of Xiangshui River.

In the previous timeline, the outcome of the Battle of Xiangshui River was difficult to change. Even if the alliance invested more, the Illuminati would respond in a targeted manner, and even produce worse consequences.

There are various signs that the battle of Xiangshui River is very crucial for both the Alliance and the Illuminati. It can even be said that whoever can win the Xiangshui River will have more initiative.

This battle has not yet broken out, but the battlefield has begun to take shape in the eyes of Xia Duo, a caring person, but he did not take action immediately to avoid arousing a violent reaction from the Illuminati.

In the previous timeline, he reacted too quickly and invested too much power, which led to a strong backlash from the Illuminati, causing erosion in many battlefields. Even the Xiangshui River side failed to achieve its goal.

It is conceivable that if he continues to act like before in this timeline, it may be difficult to achieve results, let alone that he has already made decisions about the outcome of the Battle of Xiangshui River when he was in the Star Boundary. Prophecy or choice.

The alliance's winning rate is extremely low. Even if it can win, the consequences are difficult to predict. There is a reason why the Illuminati must win.

Although Sha Duo did not regard truly reversing the outcome of the Battle of Xiangshui River as his main purpose when restarting this timeline, he still had to try.

Now he has obtained enough time power, and even has a new source of time power. Even if he fails this time, there will be a next time.

So his mentality was very relaxed this time, but being relaxed does not mean that he is not serious. War is not a child's play. He does not think that reshaping the timeline is a panacea. Is it possible that frequent reshaping of the timeline only consumes the power of time? A price?

Xia Duo doesn't think so, at least his own mentality has been affected. He can feel that he is relying more and more on this method. After all, this method is so easy to use, and if it is slightly unsatisfactory, he can overthrow it and start over.

If this happens too often, it will inevitably lead to an arrogant and contemptuous attitude.

Xia Duo can still control himself now, but who can say for sure in the future? This also made him determined to reshape the timeline as little as possible and use the power of time more for research rather than changing the past.

At least he feels that he cannot fully grasp this power at the moment.

…

By the Xiangshui River.

Shado's true form was dispatched and transformed into nothingness to personally conduct on-the-spot investigation. In his current state, unless he met Daphne, it can be said that most members of the Illuminati would not be able to discover him.

At this moment, the alliance on the other side of Teardrop Lake is already taking action. Under his deliberate deployment, if nothing unexpected happens, victory is a matter of course.

The Battle of Xiangshui River and the Battle of Teardrop Lake took place on the same day, with only a few hours between them. The Alliance Monitoring Center has not yet detected the time-related signals sent here.

Except for Xia Duo and the Illuminati, no one knows what is going to happen here.

In addition to the Xiangshui River, Xia Duo also knows that at least two local battlefields are like this one, connected to many battlefields, and are key nodes in the Illuminati ritual.

Xia Duo is now incarnated into nothingness, and his consciousness and perception are only in the world where he is now, but he knows that the Xiangshui River starts from the Gray Peak Mountains where the giant mithril mine was discovered in the west.

Then it passes through the Anse Mountains between Yerlan and Sharwen, continues westward and even becomes the activity boundary of Yerlan and Sharwen (sometimes it will be diverted), until it is inserted into the territory of Ilfarang and finally merges into the sea.

But Xia Duo does not need to explore the entire Xiangshui River Basin, he only needs to focus on the area where the Illuminati hides the ritual.

In terms of time, a strong time-related signal will erupt here in two or three hours at most, and then it will be captured by the Alliance Monitoring Center, and then the Alliance Mage will be sent to deal with it.

And now, Xia Duo came here two or three hours earlier, and this time he really found something abnormal!

This area has a characteristic that other local battlefields do not have, and that is that it can collect the power of time!
