Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes.

Chapter 37 The Life of the Silver Blade

Bang... Bang!boom!boom!
On the silver blade's training ground for new recruits, two huge figures in the central cage were fighting in full swing.

The two Astartes were only wearing training armor, and in a space of less than twenty square meters, they swung the Wufeng training greatsword in their hands at a high frequency at a speed that ordinary people's naked eyes could not catch.

In this level of hand-to-hand combat with cold weapons, strength and speed are the most basic admission tickets.

If you do not have this, then you are not even qualified to know the form of your own death.

It is difficult for ordinary people's dynamic vision to catch such an enemy, let alone the possibility of counterattack.

Low-quality quantities are no longer meaningful in this environment, unless, like those Krieger legions who are silent and rushing to death, they sacrifice several times the enemy's sacrifices in exchange for a chance to die together, there may be a slight chance of victory .

The best defense against an Astartes is another Astartes, and the same holds true here.

The two Astartes in the arena are indeed explaining this truth with their own actions.

With prolonged, high-frequency confrontations, it was rare for two in-form fighters to give each other obvious chances.

Therefore, the final result of the battle can only be determined by the subtle advantages and disadvantages of the center of gravity caused by the difference in the positions of the two sides when the battle begins.

This is a rare high-level, same-level contest.

As the dominant side continued to confront and pressure the disadvantaged side, the personal fight that lasted for a full 10 minutes was about to come to an end.

When one of the fighting parties can no longer maintain its own center of gravity cycle, the opponent's premeditated final attack also arrives at the same time.

This is a feeling of despair, that is, the other party knows how you will die, and you know it yourself, but you are just powerless to resist the arrival of that fatal blow.

The soldiers around the cage couldn't bear the enthusiasm anymore, and shouted excitedly into the arena together.

The Paladin Gavins in the arena stretched out his right hand and pulled up the Eighth Company Commander Yule who had fallen to the ground.

After briefly embracing each other, Gavins raised his hands to declare victory to the surroundings.

He also signaled that the brothers who were interested in fighting him could do it again, regardless of his physical strength.

However, in addition to the great mentor Aidan in the recruit company, Jules, the recognized strongest warrior company commander, had already fallen under the stormy attack of Gavins before.

The remaining recruits had no interest in losing battles, and the veterans also smelled something strange in Gavins's seemingly chaotic, but always steady breathing.

Wolves always get wiser with age, and so do warriors.The group of veterans smelled conspiracy in Gavins, and he didn't seem to have exhausted his full strength in the seemingly fierce confrontation just now.

Such an enemy made the old wolves lose interest in the end, and the scene cooled down for a while.

So Gavins had no choice but to turn around and look at Calvin in the corner of the court.

He, who hadn't joined the cheers from the beginning, was quietly sitting in a corner with his eyes closed, meditating all the time.

"Brother Calvin! Are you interested in a hearty battle?" Gavins shouted.

Meditation is a new ability that Calvin has recently developed.

The specific function is that after watching a battle, he can bring himself into one side of the battle through multi-threaded deduction during meditation, and practice his impromptu methods in a completely actual combat manner.

This kind of confrontation is different from the way of fighting each other in the iron cage. Fighting for the purpose of fighting each other includes but is not limited to martial arts, psychological games, position selection, attack timing, etc.

The emergence of this ability really made Calvin extremely happy.He is as addicted as an Internet addicted teenager, and he is really addicted.

But also different from the iron cage in reality, when the confrontation fails, the opponent will not keep his hands like in training.

On the contrary, the emotionless opponent in these deduction will only mercilessly kill the killer after Calvin leaks the flaw.

Calvin, who had been beheaded many times, was in a trance, and the hundreds of various but incomparably real ways of dying in a short period of time made his spirit far beyond ordinary people a little overwhelmed.

And his fighting skills began to improve by leaps and bounds at the cost of these deaths.

The first enemy of mimicry in Calvin's meditation is Gavins.

Kong has brute force from the beginning, but he can only be easily killed by playing around.

It took Calvin a full month to use his own reaction speed and strength to forcibly kill the opponent without skill.

And before Calvin had time to catch his breath after finishing the kill, he was stunned to see two identical Gavins "refreshed" opposite him in the meditation world...

After being beheaded without any resistance again while considering one thing and losing another, Calvin learned from the painful experience.

He began to search for all battle-related memories in his memory, and it was only at this time that he realized that possessing memories and completely absorbing them are not the same thing at all.

At least for the original extreme champion Calvin, the famous Ultramar champion swordsmanship, and other supporting footwork skills and secondary weapon skills.

In fact, he just learned it by skimming, and he is still far from mastering it.

On the other side, Iverson Assassin Calvin who was also impressed, his omnipotent claw knife killing technique, and the supporting psionic shadow step against the law of inertial gravity, Calvin learned even more lonely.

As for Calvin's other martial arts, he probably knew about them, but he didn't know what kind.

The advantage of brain thinking faster than reality is multi-threaded in Calvin's body, and it has an effect of almost ten times and a hundred times.

During the daytime lessons, except for the lessons on military common sense and discipline in the Silver Blade auditorium in the morning, he could not close his eyes and meditate.

He made the most of the training sessions in the afternoon and the free time after prayer in the evening as much as possible.

One month in real time corresponds to at least ten times more combat time in meditation.

After two Gavins are dealt with, there are three Gavins.

Unsurprisingly, within less than 2 minutes of resistance, Calvin was successfully strangled by three people who cooperated tacitly, and the price was only the disability of one person.

Because Gavins is always fighting alone, Calvin has become more and more familiar with his action habits.

He didn't bother to change targets either, it was his character to fight to the death according to one, and it was his character to achieve results.

So after a month of torment, Calvin finally broke the tacit sword net of the three Gavins on the opposite side through the Ultramar swordsmanship he quickly became proficient in, and died with one of them.

Although the result of this is still the pain of death, Calvin, who has been depressed for a month, can't help but feel elated.

When the real-world Gavins called to Calvin, it happened to be the time when he was wrapping up the meditation.

The pain and anger of being beheaded by the remaining two Gavins in meditation, coupled with the almost sleepless battle for a month, made Calvin look calm when he looked at the Gavins in reality, But full of killing intent.

He bared his teeth at the unaware Gavins: "Okay, here we come."

Gavins was also stung by this unexpected look, which didn't quite match his assessment of Calvin...

In his impression, the Primarch, who has not fully mastered a set of basic combat skills, has an absolute advantage physically.

But under the "deliberate care" of the experienced Gavins, there is absolutely no chance of turning over.

(Here, I would like to explain that targeting Calvin is by no means malicious, but an order from the Supreme Master. Let the Primarch realize the fragility of his current martial arts as much as possible, which is an effective way to prevent him from going out. This is the original words of the Grand Master .)
The secrets about the Primarch have not been spread. Except for the company commander of each company, the arbitrators and soldiers below do not know.

And the ten champion swordsmen that the mentors intended to guide into the arena were originally the embryonic form of the original honor guard for the Primarch.

What is the mission of the Honor Guard?Definitely defending their Primarch at every step.

In particular, the Primarch of the Gray Knights came so hard and not easy. If possible, the Grand Mentors would not mind throwing the entire Order of Paladins to Calvin's side.

Carry out all-weather, 360-degree, no-dead-angle security work, if Calvin does not protest.

However, considering that Calvin has not, and is not allowed to go out in the past ten years; and the honor guard with ten champions in his daily life, the effect is still too eye-catching even in his own Titan base.

So at the suggestion (protest) of Primarch Calvin himself, finally the Grand Masters compromised.

They decided to choose the strongest from the ten champions in front of them, to accompany their sacred Primarch, and carry out the honorary mission of 10-year rotation learning in the entire warband.

In the end, the experienced high-ranking paladin Gavins won the final victory in this battle with some not-so-reputable combat tactics.

So on the second day of the enlistment ceremony in the chapel, under the leadership of the Great Mentor Aidan, the fighters of the Silver Blade ushered in two special new brothers in the Victory Hall.

The recruits didn't know their origins, they only knew that two new comrades-in-arms had recently arrived, both of whom were incredibly strong.

The two of them have very different styles in their daily afternoon fight training:
A man who seldom ends up fighting, but looking at his huge body, the recruits don't have any willingness to challenge, and the old wolves don't want to lose face.

The other is extremely aggressive, undefeated from private to arbiter in the first day of the cage duel.

In the end, he defeated the company commander Yule more than once in a one-on-one iron cage duel.

Today, these two powerful people who have never fought against each other will face off in an iron cage under the witness of everyone.

Such a high-level battle that can be seen at a glance cannot but make the soldiers feel curious and excited.

Even Aidan, the company leader who doesn't show up often because he is busy with official duties, quietly stood beside the company leader at some point.Together with the company commander, they looked at the two men in the cage who were about to start the battle seriously and solemnly.

Combat is imminent.
