Kingdom Come: Deliverance, but Warhammer 40k

The Tau warrior slowly stepped out of the defensive line.

With a gentle turn of his hand, the long blade traced an elegant arc in the air.

She stopped about ten meters away from Henry.

Then, the helmet opened to the sides.

A pale blue face was revealed.

Her face bore some resemblance to that of a human woman, but was more delicate.

His nose bridge was low and flat, and his ears had long since degenerated.

A naturally formed white Y-shaped line runs from the center of the forehead all the way to the chin.

His crimson eyes were as serene as still water.

She lowered her head slightly and held the long sword horizontally in front of her chest.

They performed a greeting full of exotic charm.

"I don't like this kind of fighting."

  

"Especially against a soldier like you who has just gone through a tough battle and is already exhausted."

Henry was slightly taken aback.

"Do you speak Common Tongue?"

He bent down and picked up the chainsaw sword from the ground.

Restart the engine.

hum-

The saw teeth started rotating again.

The woman from the Titanium tribe smiled slightly.

"Many people have asked me this question throughout my life of wandering."

"I have lingered in human society for a long time."

Therefore, he was fluent in many languages.

She stared at Henry with a hint of curiosity in her eyes.

"I've seen many people, but you are still a very special one."

"Can you tell me your name?"

"Henry".

"very good."

She bowed again.

"Then, please enlighten me, Henry."

"Although this was not my intention, my employer needed a fight like this."

Unexpectedly, Henry suddenly asked a question in return.

"You still haven't told me your name."

The woman was somewhat puzzled, but eventually gave an answer.

"Shas』ui T』au Kais."

Henry opened his mouth, trying to pronounce it, but found it very difficult to say.

"That's a strange name, it sounds like—"

He hadn't finished speaking.

The person in front of me vanished without a trace.

It was as if there was nothing there at all.

Henry looked around and couldn't help but nod.

"Oh, so you can do this too? That's amazing."

"Could you teach me how I did that?"

There was no response from any of the surroundings.

Henry dared not act rashly.

He slowly turned around, pricking up his ears as he did so.

They try to determine the other person's location by listening to their breathing, footsteps, and air currents.

next moment.

A slight tremor occurred in the air on the right side.

Danger was closing in, and Henry rolled forward on instinct.

A long knife grazed his back.

A few strands of hair slowly drifted down.

And when he got up again.

The Titan woman, who had just revealed herself, disappeared once again.

"I always thought that your kind of race was not good at close combat."

Henry, flustered, dusted himself off and asked a question.

Unexpectedly, this time, the other party answered.

But the voices came from all directions at the same time, as if the entire corridor was talking, and she was omnipresent in Henry's perception.

"Those who wander alone must learn the skills of others..."

The sound had barely faded when...

The second blow has already come.

The chainsaw sword clashed violently with the longsword.

Sparks flew everywhere.

The immense force sent numbness through Henry's arms.

He was preparing to retaliate.

The person in front of me disappeared again, leaving only a string of tiny optical ripples in the air.

Are you a homeless person too?

She continued to ask.

"Henry?"

"..."

Henry sighed.

"Are you all so talkative? Are you special? Or is this normal for your race?"

The voices of the Titans rang out once more.

"Isn't this what you wanted, Henry?"

"Determine my location by my voice."

The Titans' swords did not slow down because she was speaking.

Blades flashed from all sorts of unbelievable angles.

Sometimes it came from behind, sometimes from above, and sometimes it brushed past your feet.

The invisibility device, combined with her near-masterful swordsmanship, made her seem like a true ghost.

Henry kept blocking and retreating.

The chainsaw sword repeatedly rammed into the longsword, but it could never reach the real enemy.

On the other side of the field, Balu was so anxious that he kept stamping his feet.

"Damn it! How are we supposed to fight like this?!"

He had already raised his gun.

But Teresa, who was standing next to him, gave him a hard knock on the head.

"Ouch! What are you doing!"

"Whose side are you on?"

Theresa said irritably.

"Don't make things worse, look at Henry..."

Her words came to an abrupt halt.

Balu followed her gaze.

I discovered that Henry was actually laughing, genuinely laughing from the bottom of his heart, as if he had turned back into a big boy.

This was the first time Baru had seen Henry like this.

……

clang!

clang!!

clang!!!

The chainsaw sword and the longsword clashed repeatedly, and the two sides began to truly engage in a swordsmanship contest.

The roles of offense and defense are constantly being reversed.

Henry repeatedly used the Master Strike.

The women of the Titanic tribe used even more sophisticated techniques to deflect the force.

Her swordsmanship incorporates techniques from multiple ethnic groups.

The fierce and powerful nature of imperial swordsmanship.

The unpredictable nature of alien martial arts.

Even some moves that Henry had never heard of before.

The two sides continued to exchange moves.

If you advance one step, I retreat half a step; if you attack the left, I block the right.

The blades kept grazing each other's bodies.

Time passes little by little.

Gradually.

More and more people can no longer see the two people's movements clearly.

All that could be seen were sparks blooming in the void, and the crisp echoes of metal colliding could be heard.

The battle is raging.

Henry suddenly stopped and stood back in the center of the field.

That's the position most vulnerable to attacks from all sides.

Everyone was stunned.

Henry suddenly spoke.

"In your eyes now, would I be considered a knight?"

The air fell silent for a moment.

Then, for the first time, the woman from the Tai tribe hesitated in her voice.

"I've never seen it before..."

She suddenly stopped talking.

Because a chainsaw sword was already silently pressed against her neck.

Invisibility removed.

She reappeared, still in the same stance of wielding a knife.

But they had already lost.

The woman looked down at the chainsaw sword around her neck.

Then he looked at Henry.

For the first time, he showed a look of surprise.

"...all the knights except you."

She slowly finished speaking the second half of her sentence.

Then he asked.

"How did you find me?"

Henry spread out his other hand.

In the palm of your hand, there lie seven or eight thumb-sized sound-producing devices.

It was the little device that had been constantly creating echoes and disrupting the sense of direction.

"You should have hidden them better."

"I picked them up while I was being beaten."

talking.

He casually scattered the sound generators on the ground.

It rolled around everywhere, making a clanging sound.

The Titan woman remained silent for a while before finally putting away her long sword.

He raised his hands to indicate that he had given up.

"I will tell my employer."

"Henry, your bravery is worthy of your status."

"It is my honor to play against you."

"Same to you."

Henry smiled and nodded.

"You are a true warrior too."

Both sides returned to their respective teams.

Balu was the first to rush forward.

"You won?"

Henry thought for a moment, then shook his head.

"I made a profit."

Balu was taken aback.

"What do you mean?"

Henry glanced back at the Tau warrior who had put his helmet back on.

"She deliberately limited the battle to swordsmanship."

"Even if I could hit her, this chainsaw sword might not be able to cut through her armor."

"If you really put in your best effort..."

He said with a smile.

"I'll most likely be the one who dies."

Balu's eyes widened.

"Then why are you laughing so happily?"

Henry looked again at the blue and white figure in the distance.

A sense of mutual appreciation emerged in their eyes.

"Because this is the first time I've ever experienced a true knightly duel."
