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 makes certain restrictions on Tanan himself, and this restriction is extremely obvious.

Once Tanan chooses to leave alone from the barbarian army, or if the forbidden orb loses its original effect, the army he leads will easily fall apart under the spells cast by the mage, causing the entire battle to fail.

To do this, Tanan must always make sure that the Forbidden Orb works, even if some of them are not intended for him.

The existence of the forbidden orb has always hindered the detection of the perspective of the earth. Based on the detection range obstructed by the forbidden orb, the mage of Bracada could easily guess where Tanan was currently located. In this case, all the actions of Tanan's army were exposed to the eyes of the mages of Bracada.

The mages of Bracada can easily obtain these extremely critical information in the war by seeing through the information fed back by the earth, but Tanan has no way to solve this point.

Relying on the effect of the forbidden magic ball, Tanan was able to avoid the influence of spells, but he could not make any countermeasures to the spells cast by the mage, so he was naturally powerless to prevent this situation.

Compared to the large area observed after the Perspective Earth was cast, the area that the Forbidden Demon Ball could affect was relatively limited, even if Tanan unleashed the Forbidden Magic Ball, the scope covered by the Forbidden Demon Barrier could only cover the ordinary battlefield, which was nothing compared to the Perspective Earth.

Even if Tanan distributed the forbidden orb fragments to the rest of his men, it would not solve the problem. Due to the fact that they do not exist in the form of artifact parts, the effectiveness of the Forbidden Orb Fragments is extremely limited.

According to Rhodes's understanding of the Forbidden Ball fragments, these special things separated from independent artifacts have a strict limit on the number of times they can be used, and other than that, they cannot passively bring any effect.

Previously, Rhodes had carried the Forbidden Magic Ball fragments many times to pass through the space spell of the Gate of Time and Space, and there were no accidents, which undoubtedly proved this to him.

In Rhodes' opinion, the Forbidden Magic Ball fragments he held, except that they could not be included in the space ring due to their own materials, were not much different from other things, and could not bring any attribute blessings to Rhodes himself.

Because of this, Rhodes believed that this was not only the case with the Forbidden Ball Fragments in his own hands, but also with the Forbidden Ball Fragments held by Tanan's other subordinates.

These fragments that are detached through the forbidden ball itself do not have any other effects except for the release of the forbidden magic barrier, and there is also a limit to the number of times the forbidden demon barrier can be released, so it is naturally difficult to have any impact on the perspective of the earth that the mage casts.

Although Tanan had processed it himself and obtained many fragments with the same effect from the forbidden orb and distributed them to his subordinates, he had no way to see through the earth that the mage cast.

In this case, the mage can easily determine Tanan's next target, and only need to transfer the creatures at the target through space spells before Tanan arrives, so as to minimize the loss.

This difference in information, the results that can be achieved, were exerted to the extreme by mages who were good at space spells, and even Tanan did not expect this situation.

And Tanan himself, due to the limitations of the combat ability of savage creatures, and it is difficult to leave the protection of the forbidden magic ball, is undoubtedly in this predicament from the beginning.

Due to the information about the content of the expansion in the previous game, coupled with Rod's impression of the various methods that the mages could use, in Rod's opinion, the battle launched by Tanan was doomed to failure from the beginning.

In Rod's opinion, compared to the barbarian creatures who have limited combat ability and rely on the forbidden magic ball in Tanan's hands all the way to victory, the mage of Bracada undoubtedly has too much background, and will naturally win this battle, and Rhodes is not too surprised by the final result of this battle.

Due to the long period of absence from Bracada, Rhodes was unable to obtain any information on how the battle was going at this time.

Rhodes knew that his subordinates in Werning, as well as Rowling's existence, should know the situation of this battle earlier than himself.

It's just that because Rod is still in Diya at this time, there is a long distance from the territory of Vilning, and he can't contact the undead creatures in Vierning through the existence of the spiritual imprint, so he can't know the information about this battle.

Although he was unable to contact Vilning's subordinates to learn about the information about Tanan in Bracada, based on the information he had learned before, Rhodes knew that it might not be long before the end of the entire first expansion.

In Rod's impression, according to some information circulated in the game in his previous life, as the real protagonist of the entire second expansion, Sandru was noticed by players at that time before the Battle of Death Shadow broke out.

According to Rod's prediction, depending on how popular Sandru is among players, he first appeared in the player's sight at the end of the first expansion, or even a while earlier.

Before the second expansion arrived, Sandru had everything in place for the Shadow of Death campaign, including a union with the Lich and an integration of regular necromancers. As soon as the second expansion opens, the necromancer will launch the most violent attack on the surrounding forces.

Rod believed that even with the existence of two artifacts, it would take a while for Sandru to accomplish all of this, and to complete the setup of the Shadow of Death campaign, and it would not be possible to do it instantly.

The information he learned in the territory of Diya before had made Rod clearly realize that Sandru at this time had not really shown his strength, although he had two artifacts, but Sandru still seemed to be waiting for something.

Although he didn't understand what Sandru's move meant, in this case, Rod realized that he had enough time to complete the original plan.

Since Sandru had yet to show the true power of the artifacts during this period, Rhodes believed that once he captured the two artifacts, he would be able to completely change the Death Shadow campaign.
