Chapter 37 Life of the Silver Blade
Bang... Bang! Bang! Bang!
In the Silver Blade recruit training ground, two huge figures in the central cage were fighting fiercely.
Both Astartes were only wearing training armor. In a space of less than 20 square meters, they swung their edgeless training swords at a high frequency at a speed that mortal eyes could not catch.
In this level of cold weapon melee, strength and speed are the most basic entry tickets.
If you don't even have this, then you don't even have the qualifications to know the form of your own death.
For such an enemy, it is difficult for mortal dynamic vision to even capture the movements, let alone the possibility of counterattack.
Low-quality quantity is no longer meaningful in this environment, unless like those Krieg Legions who are rushing to death in silence, they sacrifice several times more than the enemy in exchange for a chance to die together, there may be a glimmer of victory.
The best way to fight against Astartes is another Astartes, and this principle also applies here.
The two Astartes in the field are indeed explaining this principle with their own actions.
With the long-term and high-frequency confrontation, the two fighters in good condition rarely gave each other obvious opportunities.
Therefore, the final result of the battle could 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 started.
This is a rare high-level, equal-level competition.
As the advantaged side continued to confront and pressure the disadvantaged side, the close combat that lasted for a full 10 minutes was about to be decided.
When one of the two fighting parties could no longer maintain his center of gravity cycle, the opponent's premeditated final attack also arrived at the same time.
This is a feeling of despair, that is, the opponent knows how you will die, and you know it yourself, but you are unable to resist the arrival of the fatal blow.
The fighters around the cage could no longer bear the passionate emotions and shouted excitedly to the field together.
The paladin Gavins in the field stretched out his right hand and pulled up the captain of the eighth company, Jules, who was lying on the ground.
After a simple hug, Gavins raised his hands to announce his victory to the people around him.
He indicated that the brothers who were interested in fighting him could do it again without worrying about his physical strength.
However, in the recruit company, except for the great mentor Aidan, the recognized strongest warrior captain Jules had already fallen under Gavins's violent attack.
The remaining recruits had no interest in a battle that was bound to fail, and the veterans also smelled something strange from Gavins' seemingly disordered but stable breathing.
Wolves always get smarter as they get older, and so do warriors. This group of veterans smelled a conspiracy in Gavins, who seemed not to have used all his strength in the seemingly fierce confrontation just now.
Such an enemy made the old wolves lose interest in the next game, and the scene cooled down for a while.
So Gavins had to turn around and look at Calvin in the corner of the field.
He had not joined the cheering from the beginning, and he was sitting quietly in the corner with his eyes closed, meditating all the time.
"Brother Calvin! Are you interested in a hearty battle?" Gavins shouted loudly.
Meditation is a new ability that Calvin has recently developed.
The specific function is that after watching a battle, he can use multi-threaded deductions during meditation to bring himself into the side of the battle and practice his combat methods in a completely practical way.
This kind of confrontation is different from the way of holding back in the iron cage. The battle for the purpose of fighting each other includes but is not limited to martial arts, psychological games, position selection, timing of attack, etc.
The emergence of this ability really makes Calvin very happy. He is like an Internet addict who can't stop, and he is really addicted.
But also different from the iron cage in reality, when the confrontation fails, the opponent will not hold back like in training.
On the contrary, these emotionless opponents in the deduction will only kill without mercy after Calvin reveals a flaw.
Calvin, who was killed repeatedly, was a little dazed. Hundreds of various but real ways of death in a short period of time made his spirit far beyond ordinary people a little overwhelmed.
And his fighting skills began to advance by leaps and bounds at the cost of these deaths.
The first simulated enemy in Calvin's meditation was Gavins.
From the beginning, he had only brute force, but could only be easily killed by being played with.
It took Calvin a full month to be able to kill the opponent by force with his own reaction speed and strength without any skills.
After completing the kill, Calvin had no time to breathe, and was shocked to see two identical Gavins "refreshed" on the opposite side in the meditation world...
After being killed without resistance again, Calvin learned from his pain.
He began to search for all the memories related to the battle in his memory. It was only at this time that he realized that the possession of memory and complete absorption are not the same thing.
At least for the former extreme champion Calvin, the Ultramar champion swordsmanship that made him famous, and other matching footwork skills and secondary weapon skills.
He actually just learned it in a cursory manner, and was still far from mastering it thoroughly.
On the other hand, the equally impressive Iverson assassin Calvin, his claw knife killing skills that used everything, and the matching psychic shadow steps of the anti-inertial gravity law, Calvin learned loneliness.
As for Calvin's other martial arts, he probably just knew that there was such a thing, but he didn't know what it was like.
The advantage of the brain thinking faster than reality was multi-threaded in Calvin, and it played an effect almost ten times or a hundred times.
In the daytime courses, except for the course of learning military knowledge and discipline in the auditorium of the Silver Blade in the morning, he couldn't close his eyes to meditate.
He made full use of the afternoon training class and the free time after prayer in the evening as much as possible.
In a month of real time, it corresponds to at least ten times more fighting time in meditation.
After the two Gavins were solved, there were three Gavins.
Not surprisingly, Calvin was successfully strangled by the three people who cooperated tacitly in less than two minutes of resistance, and the price was only one person's disability.
Because he was always fighting against Gavins alone, Calvin had become more and more familiar with his action habits.
He was too lazy to change the target, and it was his character to beat him to death and get results.
So after a month of suffering, Calvin finally broke the tacit sword net of the three Gavins on the opposite side through his rapidly proficient Ultramar swordsmanship, and died together with one of them.
Although such a result still brought the pain of death, Calvin, who had been depressed for a month, couldn't help but feel proud.
When the Gavins in the real world called Calvin, it was also the time when he ended this meditation.
The pain and anger of being beheaded by the remaining two Gavins in meditation, coupled with the almost sleepless battles in a month, made Calvin look at the Gavins in the real world calm but full of murderous intent.
He bared his teeth at the unsuspecting Gavins: "Okay, I'll come right away."
Gavins was also stung by this unexpected look, which was not consistent with his assessment of Calvin...
In his impression, the original body who had not yet completely mastered a set of basic combat skills had an absolute advantage in the body.
But under the "deliberate care" of the experienced Gavins, there was absolutely no chance of turning over.
(Here I would like to explain that there is no malice against Calvin, but rather an exhortation from the Supreme Grand Master, to let the Primarch realize as much as possible the weakness of his current martial arts, which is an effective way to prevent him from wanting to go out. These are the original words of the Grand Master.)
The secret about the Primarch has not been spread, and except for the captains of each company, the arbitrators and soldiers below are not aware of it.
The ten champion swordsmen that the mentors intentionally led into the field were originally the prototype of the original honor guard for the Primarch.
What is the mission of the Honor Guard? Of course, it is to protect their Primarchs step by step.
Especially since the Primarch of the Grey Knights came so hard and difficult, if possible, the Grand Masters would not mind throwing the entire Paladin Order to Calvin.
Carry out all-weather, 360-degree, no-dead-angle protection work, if Calvin does not protest.
But 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 daily life, it is still too eye-catching even in his own Titan base.
So after the suggestion (protest) of the Primarch Calvin himself, the Grand Masters finally compromised.
They decided to choose the strongest one from the ten champions in front of them to accompany their sacred Primarch and carry out the honorary mission of rotating learning in the entire regiment for 10 years.
In the end, the experienced high-level paladin Gavins won the final victory in this battle with some less honorable combat methods.
So on the second day of the chapel induction ceremony, under the leadership of Grand Master Aidan, the warriors of the Silver Blade welcomed two special new brothers in the Victory Hall.
The recruits did not know their origins, but they only knew that two new comrades had recently arrived, and their strength was ridiculously strong.
The two of them had very different styles in the daily afternoon fighting training:
One rarely went out to compete, but seeing his huge body made the recruits have no intention of challenging him, and the old wolves did not want to lose face.
The other was extremely aggressive, and he had no defeat from private to arbitrator in the first day of the iron cage duel.
In the end, he defeated the captain more than once in a one-on-one cage duel.
Today, these two strong men who have never fought each other will compete in the cage under the witness of everyone.
Such a high-level battle that can be seen at a glance cannot but make the soldiers curious and excited.
Even the company's chief mentor Aidan, who is rarely seen because of his busy official duties, quietly stood beside the captain of the company. Together with the captain, they watched the two people fighting in the cage seriously and solemnly.
The battle is about to start.
