Chapter 212: Heart-breaking Armor Conferment Ceremony
In the hall of the Holy Light's Hope Chapel, Archbishop Fa'o is holding a grand armor conferment ceremony here.
Under the extremely cumbersome armor granting process, the first set of light-forged armor is being installed on Uther.
Archbishop Fa'ao muttered prayers and poured holy water on the light-cast armor components.
Then two strong male priests carried the heavy light-cast armor components for Uther to install.
The extremely thick armor, the magical staff that chanted prayers, and the unknown liquid that was spilled.
This scene looks very ceremonial.
If Faol is asked to carry an incense burner and the painting style is darker, this is a proper award of armor to the Astartes!
The thickness of the lightcast armor is exaggerated.
The thickness of key protective positions is generally three centimeters or more.
In addition to the thickness of the armor, its size is also much larger.
In this way, the interior of the armor can be made very empty and filled with more shock-absorbing material.
When hit by a heavy hammer or dropped, the concussive damage received will be greatly reduced.
Although the appearance will look a bit bloated.
In the face of the benefits obtained, this disadvantage is not worth mentioning!
The entire set of armor is designed very reasonably, and there are almost no weak spots on the whole body.
This is a set of power armor without its own power.
Because the Paladin needs to use his eyes to observe the surrounding situation.
There are two small holes for observation on the visor of the helmet.
The small hole is inlaid with very clear crystal.
The effectiveness of this protective measure is not obvious.
It can only withstand weak attacks.
But the battlefield is changing rapidly, so it would be good to improve the protective effect a little.
With all the light-forged armor installed, Uther has turned into a real humanoid tank.
The strength of bare cast iron itself is about the same as steel.
However, once this metal is infused with divine energy, its hardness and toughness can be greatly increased.
Although it has not been tested in detail, the defense is definitely better than Thorium.
The Thorium weapon slashed hard without leaving even a scratch.
Light cast iron strengthened by sacred energy will not increase in weight.
The weight of this set of light-cast armor is about five hundred kilograms.
Lightforged armor is so heavy that it is difficult for ordinary people to bear it.
But Uther is no ordinary person!
Before he became a Paladin, his physical strength was already extremely exaggerated.
It can pick up a strong man with one hand and throw it several meters away.
Killing a bison with one punch is a basic operation.
He is the human priest who uses a two-handed sledgehammer to kill the orcs.
He is the most violent human priest in history!
After switching to Paladin, Uther's power was further improved.
Therefore he can easily afford this set of lightforged armor.
Walking and running will be less stressful.
Moreover, the light-forged armor is engraved with anti-gravity runes.
Although the holy energy does not match well with the anti-gravity runes, it can still reduce some of the weight.
When it came time to actually fight, his burden was lifted.
As for the need to consume holy energy, is it a problem for a large battery of holy light like Uther?
Uther has become an untouchable human tank on the battlefield.
Of course, the premise is that it is on a mortal battlefield.
If you were to fight against a powerful demon like the Abyss Demon King, the pressure would be extremely high!
If you accidentally dodge too slowly, you will be sent flying hundreds of meters away.
The Abyss Demon King is a ground overlord that is comparable in size to a giant dragon. There are very few ground units that can deal with them.
However, the battle between Uther and the Abyss Demon King would take place at least more than ten years later.
At this stage, he can definitely be called the strongest on land.
Seeing this glittering little giant, the other paladins exploded with envy. But if you want to obtain light-forged armor, you need to swear allegiance to the Church of Holy Light.
This means that you need to choose between favoring the Church of the Holy Light or the Kingdom of Lordaeron.
Especially those powerful nobles who owned fiefs.
They can give priority to becoming paladins, and King Terenas contributes a lot.
Otherwise, if the first dozen or so spots are open to all human kingdoms, where will they get their turn?
There are many outstanding talents with Holy Light talents in the knights of various countries.
In order to repay King Terenas' favor, powerful nobles must resist material temptations.
Uther, who got the precious armor, didn't care about the feelings of his younger brothers.
He moved his hands and feet excitedly, then thanked Archbishop Fao for his love, and swore to be the strongest shield of the church.
The few paladins who had no concerns also expressed their intentions to Archbishop Fao on the spot.
There is nothing to say about the quality of the first batch of Paladins.
Even the powerful aristocrats who came in through connections are very good in terms of quality!
Therefore, several paladins obtained quotas on the spot and arranged for them to undergo a series of related tests.
Soon they will also receive lightforged armor suited to their condition.
Although the powerful nobles felt itchy, they still held back for the sake of the righteous King Terenas.
But how long they can endure it is unknown.
Uther's strong defense against being hit by swords, axes, and heavy hammers on the test field without even a trace of shaking has been deeply imprinted in their minds.
What is invincible defense? This is invincible defense!
Herad was not directly involved in the armor-conferring ceremony at the Holy Light's Hope Chapel.
He just arranged suitable light-forged armor for the Paladins based on their physical data.
The defense indicators of the light-forged armor were so astonishing that he was completely unaware of such things as making a child cry.
Even if he knew, he would just laugh it off.
A bunch of idiots who have never seen the world!
This kind of conventional armor, which is not even a power armor, has already made them hungry.
If they saw real power armor, they would probably roll on the ground!
However, high-end armor such as power armor is of little significance to Herard.
Arcane Golem is a powerful magic robot that can crush all power armor.
In the face of their super high attacks, no power armor can withstand them.
One punch can turn power armor into pieces of scrap metal flying in the sky.
Of course, the premise is that it must be located in a high-magic area such as Quel'Thalas.
Otherwise they will quickly run out of magical energy and lie down.
This is the only drawback of arcane golems.
Magical energy is everything to them!
What is most important in the wizarding world?
Having enough magic energy is the most important thing!
If you can have a powerful source of magical energy, you will control the ultimate wealth and power of the magical world!
For example, the High Elves' Sunwell and the Night Elves' Well of Eternity.
The Dark Night Well of the Children of the Night, this one is pretty good.
The large magic network node where the Karazhan mage tower is located is also good.
Other sources of magical energy are worse.
Dalaran's source of magical energy supplies the entire city.
It's not powerful enough on its own, and it has to disperse the magical energy.
If it really comes to a critical moment, Dalaran will soon fall out of control!
Therefore, Dalaran at this stage is not as good as those Naaru who can run around.
After all, Naaru can still pilot a star battleship to fly in the universe, looking for trouble from the Burning Legion or the void forces everywhere.
Dalaran, which was still on the ground and had not yet taken flight, was completely wiped out when it encountered the Burning Legion, with no means of resistance at all.
The Scourge, the vanguard of the Burning Legion, can also cleanse Dalaran over and over again!
This involves having a source of magical energy and how to use it to its true effect.
If you don’t know how to use it, it’s all for nothing!
In this regard, the night elves are useless.
The high elves also fared poorly.
Nightborne was the one who performed best.
It's a pity that An Yejing doesn't live up to expectations and won't last long!
