The silence was brief, but it felt as though it had lasted a lifetime.
The truth of the matter was that even now, no one used a weapon that was so heavy. Even the strongest warriors with Strength-based Classes would only use weapons upwards of a hundred pounds at most.
General Aleen had had armor on that weighed at least that much overall. But, first, that was one reason why weapons weren't so heavy. Most Strength-based warriors would have to factor in the weight of their armors into that total. And two, General Aleen was still a somewhat special case because he was used to battling with a Combat Mount that would mitigate the loss of Speed.
This was all to say that someone swinging out a 220-pound weapon, a weight total that didn't even include the heavy, long chain on the end, was something that they had simply never seen before.
