9. Hand of Light

Time flies by after joining the Silver Hand. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Even though Arthas made a big splash in Alterac before, after entering the Silver Hand, as the so-called equality of all, he was just a junior apprentice who had nothing to do outside of his cultivation. Although because of his young age, he did not practice as a knight squire like other children, but every morning and evening class, as well as various cultural courses in between, were indispensable.

At the same time, from the mouth of his own teacher, Archbishop Alonsos, Alsace also knows that several major events have taken place recently.

First of all, Gul'dan's betrayal, at the instigation of Arthas, Gul'dan launched a rebellion a lot earlier, but because he miscalculated the betrayal of Alsace's side, unfortunately, a large-scale naval battle off the coast of Nanhai Town directly buried the Raider Clan and most of the Twilight Hammer Clan, only a small number of ships escaped, I don't know if he still had the fate to find Sargeras's grave this time.

The betrayed Hammer of Doom wiped out Gul'dan's army at the first moment, but it also revealed his intention to leave the port. Admiral Proudmore's navy heard the wind and blocked the southern seas in only three days, and the fleet of the Hammer of Doom clashed several times, but it turned out that it was no match for the superior alliance navy, so it had to retreat again. Then, the orc army attacked Hillsbrad and Alterac several times, but was blocked by the Alliance army led by Lothar, in these battles, the Alliance's paladins performed eye-catching, especially Uther, on the battlefield of Alterac alone smashed the dark magic of more than a dozen warlocks of the tribe, has become a song sung everywhere, even Arthas will hum a few words.

However, given that the news from the rear basically comes from the mouth of the front, it is not just what the front wants to say, Alsace does not trust the current domestic situation in a good form. After all, the orcs are still in control of Nanhai Town, and the few attacks that have been repelled before are likely to be just a temptation of the Hammer of Doom, as for the real target of the Hammer of Doom, no one knows at present.

With a hint of anxiety about the future, Arthas continued his simple life.

At Arthas's current age, his diligence is remarkable, even though Arthas is only trying to transform his body with the power of the Light obtained through prayer. The time of transformation is slow and long, gradually, Arthas, who is isolated from the outside world, begins to dull the passage of time, and what he thinks about every day gradually focuses on how to enhance his personal strength, and I don't know how many days have passed, one morning class, Arthas only felt a shock to the internal organs in his body, and then a warm feeling spread out from the limbs and bones, stirring and fluctuating everywhere in the body, and finally gradually returning to a humanoid cycle, and at the same time, the power of the holy light all over the body gradually contracted, Gradually, it is summed up in the cycle.

The loop is complete!

Arthas threw his fist excitedly, then stood up and took a deep breath.

Although the circulation in the body is still very weak, like a stream that will break at any time, at least since the step from scratch has been taken, the most difficult obstacle has been crossed. Unlike the mage's accumulation of power, if the mage's accumulation is like filling a cup, then the practice of the power of the Holy Light is more like building a sophisticated machine in the body, and as long as the machine is still running smoothly, then the power will continue to be produced, and the output will become stronger and stronger.

Then the next job is to strengthen and maintain this machine. Maintenance is very simple, just insist on the infiltration of the power of the Holy Light, and strengthening, you still have to explore it yourself. However, this is not an urgent matter now, the child's body can not withstand much power, and there are more things to care about than strengthening the strength.

For example, the movements of the orcs.

"Arthas, so you're here."

Just as Arthas pondered how to obtain information from the outside, Uther's voice came from the gate behind him, and when he turned to look, the upright paladin had a rare anxious expression, and at the same time his face was dripping with sweat and there was a trace of blood on his armor, apparently after a fierce battle.

But this is Stratholme, why is there a fight......

"There's no time to explain, everyone else has already been transferred," Uther strode over, and when he reached Arthas, he was suddenly startled, but then he directly carried Arthas on his shoulder, turned around and strode out of the chapel, "The orcs have called." ”

Needless to explain than Uther, Arthas had already seen Stratholme in front of him. The smell of blood is strong, and the sound of various siege machinery can be heard in the distance, such a rough style is obviously the patent of orcs.

"The fleet of the Hammer of Doom went up the river and attacked Keldaron directly," Uther said as she walked, "Sir Les was caught off guard and the fortress was captured, and then the orcs took it as the center and blossomed on all sides, and now the Valley of the Hearth, Firestone, and Daron County have all been attacked by the orcs, but we didn't expect that the Hammer of Doom would be so bold that it would directly cross the mountains and attack Stratholme." ”

"How ...... that"

Arthas's mind raced quickly, and it was clear that the Hammer of Doom had chosen a more direct and risky way to take control of Stratholme, the largest city of humanity in eastern Lordaeron, and then use it as a base for the next step of expansion.

Moreover, since he was aiming for this place, his goal was not only to establish a forward base, and it was clear that Orgrim had set his sights on the forest trolls as he remembered. And judging from his determination to carry out this raid, it is very likely that the two sides have already caught up in the line.

"Uther, you can't let the orcs control Stratholme!"

Arthas's words made Uther stop, and he reached out to lift Arthas from his shoulder, and looked Arthas in the eyes, Uther asked, "Why?" ”

"Remember the forest trolls? Uther! Arthas said, "The orcs must be coming for the trolls!" If the two are united, then the power of the tribe will increase greatly, and then it will be even more difficult for us. ”

“…… Indeed," Uther pondered, holding Arthas in thought, and then placing Arthas at his feet, "we now have only a thousand troops, and the orc army we face is endless. Reinforcements from Hinterland may never arrive, and even then, do you insist that we can't afford to lose here? ”

"We can lose here, but that would cost you tenfold hundreds," Arthas said, "The history of the Troll Wars is familiar even to a kid like me, and I don't think we can defeat these demons with powerful allies with less damage if we do it a second time." ”

"Not every ten-year-old is familiar with the history of the Troll Wars," Uther smiled, "Tulayan is right, your wisdom is more important than faith. By the way, happy birthday, Alsace. ”

"It's a big birthday celebration, should I thank the Hammer of Doom?" Arthas smiled bitterly, "So, you really can't hold here?" ”

"Maybe we can try, but until then, Arthas," Uther said, "maybe it's time to teach you some ways to fight with the Light, first and foremost, the Holy Blessing. ”

Holy Blessing, this is the most basic application of the power of the Holy Light, although it is a primary spell, but it is also the most malleable spell among the paladin spells. As the name suggests, the Holy Blessing is a spell that uses the power of the Holy Light to protect itself, however, the understanding of the power of the Holy Light will determine the ability of the Holy Blessing.

The first reaction of the vast majority of paladins is to guard, so the Holy Blessing Technique will become a shield to resist all damage for a short time, many paladins use it to protect themselves and their horses in the charge, and the damage caused by the special charge can be described as a powerful spell with both offense and defense, and the extreme of this characteristic is the famous Holy Shield Technique.

The other mode is to use the power of the Holy Light to increase one's strength or spirit, reduce the pain from injury, and strengthen one's combat ability. This path is maximized in all types of blessings, and even the most powerful paladins, such as Uther, can give blessings to allies with a legion size, making them a veritable and indispensable core of the battlefield.

However, for Arthas now, both physically and mentally are too fragile to withstand too strong the power of the Holy Light, so the Holy Blessing Technique he can cast is probably only a weaker and weakened version. But even so, it was enough for Arthas to pick up a weapon that only adults can use, and gain a certain amount of self-protection on the battlefield.

The power of the Light is so powerful that a mortal can rival a demigod in just a few months.

With these words in his mind, Arthas silently operated the Holy Blessing Technique according to Uther's guidance, and under his call, the power of the Holy Light in his body worked quickly, and soon, the endless power slowly but steadily escaped from his body, and existed in a state of mist around Arthas, wandering uncertainly, as if it would dissipate at any time, but it had never dissipated even a little.

"Now, give a definition of these forces!"

Uther's voice sounded, Arthas took a deep breath, calmed his mood, and then, feeling the activity and soothing of the power of the Holy Light around his body, feeling the information from the higher realms, and combing through the memories in his mind, finally, his thoughts paused on a single word, and at the same time chanted, giving his definition to the power of the Holy Light that was cheering around him.

"Holy Blessing, Hand of Light!"
