The boundary of ten steps is the distance between life and death.
A qualified knight will definitely get close to the target before fighting to ensure that he can attack the opponent.
The first thing a qualified magician needs to confirm is the distance from which magic is performed and the safety during ritual magic.
This is also the reason why Terrence did not dare to use high-level magic until the end.
Because after Huo Qi formed the formation to ensure his safety, he dared to use high-level magic with confidence. Otherwise, as he just said, once he gets close, the magician's melee ability is very weak and is not enough to compete with other people.
Ways to contend.
What's more, the opponent is a saint on the path of monsters, and his whole body is full of deformities and viruses. Once he gets close to him and is contaminated, it is almost equal to death.
"Can you tell me the reason now?"
"Why did Adrien come so late? What on earth was he doing?"
"What do you mean when you say the time has not yet come?"
Terrence turned his gaze to Hodge aside, waiting for his answer.
To be honest, Terrence has always been confused about the plans of the son of the Marquis.
First of all, if he was allowed to plan everything, when he knew that a powerful enemy was invading, why not notify the church, the military, the Knights Hall, the Magician Association and other forces, and let them send strong men to set up an ambush in advance?
Secondly, as the son of a Marquis, Hodge takes the lead and acts as a decoy, while the Marquis of Bach, as a saint-level powerhouse on the surface, why doesn't he show up for so long?
Isn't he afraid that his son will die?
Finally, the adjutant Adrian did not show up until the last moment, which also made Terrence confused, what on earth did he do?
At this critical moment, what could be more important than protecting Hodge, the son of a marquis?
Hearing this, Bernard also looked at Hodge. To be honest, he was also full of curiosity.
On the one hand, it’s because of the reason and also because it’s confusion. I don’t understand why Adrian and Bach haven’t shown up yet?
On the other hand, he was puzzled by the fact that since Marquis Bach had long known the secrets of the empire and the invasion, why didn't he ask for help from other forces and deal with these enemies cleanly?
The four saints and the four strong men of Sequence 4 may be very powerful and difficult for others to fight against.
But Bernard believes that there is definitely more than one way to solve the problem for Bach Dickens, the Marquis and the former imperial legend. Shouldn't he be in such a mess?
Unless he didn't know about this at the beginning, the power he could prepare could definitely easily kill four Sequence 4 saints.
What happened this time actually ended up like this?
It was indeed a bit beyond his expectation.
At this moment, the figure of Doctor Will emerged from the shadows and supported Hodge.
Hotch smiled slightly, and just as he was about to explain, his mouth went numb, and his whole body seemed to have lost some sense.
Um?
This is...taste, one of the five senses...
Fortunately, it's not hearing, otherwise I wouldn't be able to have a conversation...
Hotch immediately realized that this was the negative effect of the Hidden Eye, which deprived him of his sense of taste for an hour.
The five senses are vision, hearing, smell, taste, and touch.
The biggest impact is undoubtedly on vision and hearing. One is the loss of vision and the other is the loss of voice. Losing any of them is extremely dangerous in battle, especially the sudden loss, which is likely to cause Hodge to die on the spot.
die.
This is also the reason why Hodge has been reluctant to use the latter three abilities.
If you suddenly become blind or deaf during the battle with the Slothful High Priest, it will really be the end.
The remaining senses of taste and smell do not have a big impact in battle. As long as they are not deliberately targeted and the corresponding senses are used, there will be almost no loss.
As for touch, it is a type of perception, and to a certain extent, it is also a type of premonition of danger.
The impact of no touch can be big or small. No touch means losing the sense of pain. Hodge has heard in his previous life that some people did not feel pain because they had no pain. In the end, they ended up bleeding because of small wounds.
And die.
Without the sense of touch, people will lose their vigilance and perception of danger, leading to injuries without even realizing it. This is very scary.
"Now that Adrian is here, it proves that the reinforcements from the Knights Hall and the Magician Association have also arrived."
Hotch suppressed the strange feeling of losing his sense of taste in his heart and said softly.
"Huh?" Terrence frowned slightly, then relaxed and said, "The reason why Adrian didn't show up is because he went to receive reinforcements from the Knights Hall and the Magicians Association?"
"That's right." Hotch nodded, looking at the two people fighting not far away, "Adrian is a Sequence 4 Saint, a Silver Moon Knight of the Knight Path. He has the ability to break all restrictions and rules.
It is most appropriate for him to break this curtain of shadow and let in reinforcements."
"Of course, the power of this sealed artifact indeed exceeds my expectations."
"But I am not unprepared. In order to prevent the enemy from setting up barriers, restrictions, and preventing the entry of reinforcements, I have already arranged more than one forging formation and magic formation in the manor to connect to the outside world. Although the shadow curtain forcibly blocks the
In order to connect with the outside world, in such a large area, there will always be weaknesses. I arranged for Adrian to find the weaknesses, cooperate with the creation of magic arrays and refinement arrays, and bring reinforcements into the fiefdom..."
As Hodge explained, explosions were heard everywhere in the manor.
Magical fluctuations and extraordinary spirituality are constantly erupting...
It was obvious that reinforcements from the Knights Hall and the Magicians Association were in place and began to clear out the Eternal Demon Cult believers in the manor.
At the same time, a sleeping lady was hidden on a tree. Looking at this scene, her face was extremely gloomy under the gauze and satin.
"How did things come to light?"
"Who's the problem?"
"Eternal Demon Cult?"
"The top brass of the Salom Empire?"
"Or the traitor to the Mechanicum?"
Ms. Shen Mian's first suspicion was within the Eternal Demonic Cult. After all, this is a sect composed of mostly lunatics, and they believe in evil gods from ancient times. No matter what happens to this abnormal-minded church, Ms. Shen Mian will not let her down.
Feel surprised.
Secondly, there are the senior officials of the Salom Empire. This matter is widely implicated. More than one of the senior officials of the empire knows about this matter. If the information is leaked, it is possible.
The traitors of the Mechanical Church are also among Ms. Shen Mian's targets. After all, a guy who can betray his own beliefs really has no credibility.
Ms. Shen Mian actually knew in her heart that her own church might also have the possibility of leaking secrets, but she instinctively did not want to doubt the people in her church, especially if this matter could be accomplished because of the order of the organization, and there was a possibility of a traitor within the organization.
Very little.
"It's obviously the last step, damn it!"
"I have no choice but to leave first..."
Ms. Shen Mian sighed deeply, silently put away the necklace inlaid with black pearls, and prepared to leave.
At this moment, a gentle voice rang in Ms. Shen Mian's ears.
"Believer of the night, why do you appear in the land of the blessed one..."
