Mages have mage hands, and paladins also have hands of light. The difference is www.biquge.info that the Mage's Hand is a small trick similar to the Holy Blessing Technique, which can be used to exercise the caster's ability in multiple directions, while the Hand of the Holy Light is similar to a stand-in, it is formless and invisible, and cannot be seen by others, but it can move as it pleases, like an unwavering companion, fighting with its master at all times.

In Arthas's memory, this special technique is probably only used by a few particularly elite paladins, but just like the mage's spell from the current blockade to the future opening, it is not impossible for this extremely practical holy light spell to become the foundation for all people to one day, after all, its principle is very simple, it is enough to echo the holy light with your own will.

Of course, at this point in time, the Hand of Light is still a highly prized advanced skill. And the reason why Arthas started from this step is not just for that special stand-in, but for another thing - the astral plane.

Azeroth is a unique planet because of the Well of Eternity, where intelligent beings are several times more sensitive to energy than other planets. Whether it is a tall and mighty minotaur or a short and thin dwarf, as long as he is given a channel to exercise himself and go down step by step, he can become a powerful person one by one.

However, this talent comes from the bounty of the Well of Eternity, which has long since collapsed, and all that remains is the residue of 10,000 years ago, so it is difficult for Azeroth's intelligent beings to become such powerful beings even if they are gifted. After all, the total amount of energy is only that, and if there is no water in the empty canal, it will not be able to irrigate the fertile land anyway.

This is also the reason why spellcasters and clerics in Azeroth can often be the superpowers that influence history, because arcane researchers can cast their spirits into the astral plane, gaining access to higher levels of power. The clergy, on the other hand, can reach out to higher beings through faith and spirituality, and gain the power to advance or fight from them.

In short, if you want to be strong, get out of Azeroth. The energy of the astral plane and the twisted void is enough to make a little kid the number one spellcaster in the world, but compared to Azeroth, which the Titans have worked so hard to maintain, the first two places are full of dangers, and ordinary people will only be devoured when they enter the bones.

And getting out of Azeroth and pursuing power in the astral plane, the fragile flesh can't do it, and the Titan's mechanical creation may be able to, but there is no room for development in that form. So in the end, there is only one way to do it, which is to use the spiritual body that has been separated from the physical body to establish a channel, and then use this channel to channel the power back to one's own physical body, so as to become more powerful.

The mages call this astral exploration, the warlocks turn to the demons, let these high-priced creatures help them build passages, and the clergy open the way by their own will by prayer. Judging by these ready-made experiences, Arthas was able to draw a simple conclusion - use the doubles created by the Hand of Light to explore the power of the astral plane.

But again, the current Arthas is too weak, not to mention how to explore the astral plane, even if it is a fluke, this weak stand-in can play very little role. However, for the current war, it is enough to change the power of individuals.

"Well, it seems that you have comprehended the true meaning of the Holy Blessing," Uther nodded, "Well, my previous feeling is not wrong, and I have come to borrow this." ”

A small war hammer was thrown over, a toy for a warrior, but a weapon of just the right weight in Arthas's hands.

"It's a toy, but it's enough to protect yourself with the power of the Light," Uther turned, "Come on, Arthas, let's meet the Hammer of Destruction, and I'll see if he can take Stratholme in my hands!" ”

With that, Uther once again slung Arthas on his shoulders, and strode toward the gates. Along the way, although the eyes were full of fireworks and the battlefield scenery full of gunsmoke, the people who came and went were either panicked or desperate, and when they saw the figures of Uther and Arthas, they all unconsciously stopped fleeing.

Then, some of them smacked themselves in the mouth, then picked up the swords they had just thrown aside, took their armor at random, and walked after Uther. Gradually, the people who were not soldiers also picked up their talents, iron forks, even door bolts, and wooden sticks, and followed Uther's footsteps in the direction of the city gate.

Without a single call, without a word of encouragement, Uther gathered thousands of troops as he marched towards the gates, and when he reached the walls, the glorious figure made even the orc siege force stagnant. And he simply raised the hammer of war, and the most courageous vanguard officer collapsed, rolled over and fell off the city wall.

"Who's that?"

The chieftain in the middle of the battle asked a little puzzled, and then he recognized that this was the paladin who had almost destroyed the Horde army at that time. Recalling the glorious figure of a man who had cracked the warlock's dark spell at that time, the orc scratched his head in some chagrin, feeling for the first time how heavy the armor on his body was.

"Lothar, and then the Paladin, why are there so many strong men in the human race," the chieftain of the tribe exasperated, "if not...... That's terrible. ”

Just as he was frustrated, Uther had already led his troops in a counterattack. Standing on the tall city walls, the Alliance has an incomparable geographical advantage over the Horde, and Arthas, as the prince of Lordaeron, stands on the front line at a young age, which is enough to boost the morale of any Alliance soldier and raise the morale of the fighting spirit.

The Horde's offensive soon weakened, as if the dense Horde army outside was purely pretty, and after this wave of siege failures, Orgrim neither continued to attack Stratholm nor chose to retreat, he just seemed extremely unwise to put the army outside the city like this, against the few defenders on Stratholme, as if he didn't care if he could take the city.

"It seems that an exciting first battle has been ruined by the cowardice of the opponent," Uther laughed, "and what do you think of the current tribe in front of you, Arthas?"

"It's majestic," Arthas said bluntly, "at least for now, I don't see an army or a fortress that can stop it." ”

"Oh, you said it...... Now? ”

"Yes, because I don't think it's possible for a mortal to have such extraordinary powers, and even if they were, they shouldn't be like that for the whole race," Arthas said, "Uther, don't you think it's strange? Obviously, there are only a handful of paladins who can be selected in the entire human alliance, but the tribe opposite, those orcs who are about the same size as us and slightly stronger than the sky, why can they all be as terrifying as paladins? ”

"Indeed, the archbishop has been investigating this matter recently," Uther nodded, "but for us, the extraordinary strength of the other side is a matter that should be taken seriously, and as for the reason, it is better to leave it to the mages of Dalaran to solve." ”

"The mage of Dalaran doesn't know anything, though," Arthas said, "but Khadgar must know, after all, his teacher Medivan was the first to be killed after the orcs arrived. ”

At this time, the information that Medivan was the culprit who opened the dark gate did not spread, so it is generally believed that the powerful mage died in battle to resist the invasion of the orcs. And for the current alliance, only Khadgar and Lothar have first-hand information about the orcs in their hands, if you put aside the combat aspect and point to the various problems of the orcs themselves, then there is no doubt that Khadgar is the only one who understands.

"Khadgar and we are not acquainted with us, Arthas," Uther said in a rare, less formal tone, "even if you go to the door and ask: Hey, what's the matter with these orcs?" I'm afraid the only answer I will get is: Don't disturb my great experiment, this is a major subject left by the teacher! That's it. ”

"Quite the opposite, I don't think that Khadgar is very pedantic, and maybe surprisingly easy to speak," Arthas said, "so what are we to do now, waiting here for the Hammer of Doom to withdraw?" ”

"Maybe he's just gathering strength."

"How can you save up, there are already no orcs here, although there are no ogres...... Wait, ogre! Arthas exclaimed, "Oh my God, Uther, where are those ogres of the orcs?" ”

"Ogre? Those huge monsters should still be fighting the Duke of Lothar in the Valley of Alterac," Uther said, "This is the information from three days ago. ”

"Three months ago, no one would have thought they would have been able to penetrate the heart of Lordaeron through the defenses of the Duke of Lothar," Arthas said, "Orgrim is not a rude orc, on the contrary, I think he is more cunning than any human. ”

"But now we can't do anything about it." Uther said, "There are too many orcs. ”

"No, there is a way to ......"

Arthas looked up to the very center of the orc army, where a tall orc in black plate armor, rarely seen among orcs, and armed with a thunderous warhammer, also looked to the side. The two looked at each other, and then Arthas lowered his head and Utherdaw.

"We'll rush over now and kill Orgrim directly, in that case, whether it's the army of these tribes in front of us, or the vanished ogre, it's no longer a problem."
