Although the existence of the forbidden magic ball provides Tanan with protection against mages and can make all spells lose their original effect, in some aspects, it also places certain restrictions on Tanan himself, and this restriction Extremely obvious.
Tanan, who is in Brakada, must carry the forbidden magic ball with him at all times. Once Tanan chooses to leave alone from the barbarian army, or the forbidden magic ball loses its original effect, the army he leads will easily It fell apart under the spell cast by the mage, causing the entire battle to fail.
For this reason, Tanan must always ensure that the forbidden magic ball can have an effect, even if some of the effects are not what he originally wanted.
The existence of the Forbidden Magic Ball has always hindered the detection of the piercing earth. Based on the detection range blocked by the forbidden magic ball, Brakada's mage can easily deduce the current location of Tanan. In this case, all actions of Tanan's army were exposed to the eyes of Brakada's mages.
The mages of Brakada can easily obtain this extremely critical information in the war by seeing through the information fed back by the earth. However, Tanan has no way to solve this problem.
Relying on the effect of the forbidden magic ball, Tanan was not affected by the spell, but he was unable to carry out any counterattack against the spell cast by the mage, so he was naturally powerless to prevent this situation.
Compared with the large area that can be observed after the perspective earth is cast, the area that the magic ball can affect is more limited. Even if Tanan deploys the magic ball, the range covered by the magic barrier can only cover the general battlefield, and perspective. The earth is nothing in comparison.
Even if Tanan distributes the Forbidden Magic Ball fragments to the rest of his men, this problem will not be solved. Since they do not exist in the form of artifact components, the effects of the Forbidden Magic Ball fragments are extremely limited.
According to Rhodes' understanding of the Forbidden Magic Ball fragments, these special things separated from independent artifacts have strict limits on the number of times they can be used. In addition, they cannot passively bring any effects.
Previously, Rhodes had carried fragments of the Forbidden Magic Ball many times and used the space spell of the Gate of Time and Space without any accidents, which undoubtedly proved this to him.
In Rhode's view, the Forbidden Magic Ball fragment he held was not much different from other things except that it could not be included in the space ring due to its material. It could not bring any attribute blessing to Rhodes himself.
For this reason, Rhodes believed that not only the fragments of the Forbidden Magic Ball in his hand, but also the fragments of the Forbidden Magic Ball held by Tanan's other men were in the same situation.
These fragments separated from the magic ball itself have no other effects except releasing the magic barrier. The release of the magic barrier also has a limit on the number of times. Naturally, it is difficult to see through the earth cast by the mage. , bring any impact.
Although Tanan had obtained many fragments with the same effect from the forbidden magic ball through his own processing and distributed them to his subordinates, he had no way to deal with the clairvoyance of the earth cast by the mage.
In this case, the mage can easily determine Tanan's next target. He only needs to transfer the creatures at the target through space spells before Tanan arrives, so as to minimize the loss.
This difference in information and the results that can be achieved have been taken to the extreme by mages who are good at space spells. Even Tanan did not expect this situation to occur.
As for Tanan himself, due to the limitations of the combat capabilities of savage creatures and the difficulty of leaving the protection of the forbidden magic ball, he was undoubtedly in this dilemma from the beginning.
Due to the information about the content of the expansion pack in the previous game, and Rhodes's impression of the various methods that the mages can use, in Rhodes' view, the battle launched by Tanan has been from the very beginning. It is doomed to failure.
In Rhodes' view, compared to the savage creatures with limited combat capabilities and relying on the forbidden magic ball in Tanan's hand to win all the way, the mages of Brakada undoubtedly have too much background and will naturally win this battle. For Rhodes was not too surprised by the final result of this battle.
Since he had left Brakada for a long time, Rhodes was unable to obtain any information on how the battle was going at this time.
Rhodes knew that his subordinates in Vilning, as well as Rowling's existence, should know the situation of this battle earlier than himself.
However, because Rod Shang was in Diya at this time, which was a long distance away from the territory of Verning, he could not contact the undead creatures in Verning through the existence of spiritual marks, so he could not know the details about this battle. information.
Although he was unable to contact Weirning's subordinates to learn all the information about Tanang in Brakada, based on the information he had learned before, Rhodes understood that it might not be long before the entire first expansion pack ends.
In Rhode's impression, based on some information circulated in previous games, Sandro, as the real plot protagonist of the entire second expansion pack, was noticed by the players at the time before the Battle of Shadow of Death broke out.
According to Rhodes' prediction, and based on Sandru's popularity among players, he first appeared in players' sight at the end of the first expansion pack, or even some time earlier.
Before the arrival of the second expansion, Sandru had made all preparations for the Death's Shadow campaign, including joining forces with the Lich and integrating the common Necromancer. As soon as the second expansion pack is opened, the Necromancer will launch the most violent attack on the surrounding forces.
Rhodes believed that even with the existence of two artifacts, it would take a while for Sandro to achieve all of this and complete the arrangements for the Shadow of Death battle, and it would not be possible to do it instantly.
The information he had learned in Diya before had made Rhodes clearly aware that Sandro at this time had not yet truly demonstrated his strength. Although he had two artifacts, Sandro seemed to still be strong. Waiting for something.
Although he didn't understand what Sandro's move meant, in this situation, Rhodes realized that he had enough time to complete the original plan.
Since Sandru has not yet demonstrated the true role of the artifacts during this period, Rhodes believes that once he obtains two artifacts, he will be able to completely change the Shadow of Death campaign.
