Chapter 32 Training
“Sir.”
Facing Soshiyan was Pul Armin, his newly appointed captain of the tactical team.
Because the number of people was too small, and even a company could not be assembled, Soshyan could only organize these recruits into three tactical squads and promoted three squad captains. In the future, the number of the battle group could be partially restored. They will also be candidates for company commander.
But now it seems that they are still too immature, just like Soshyan himself.
"Are you interested in observing our training results?"
Armin wiped the sweat from his face and showed a very hearty smile to Soshiyang.
Due to Soshyan's approachable personality, strict superior-subordinate barriers did not quickly form within the war group, and the recruits were no longer as nervous as when they saw him in the past.
Even occasionally make a little joke.
“Forget it, you are as stupid as a stuffed camel beast! Armin.”
At this time, another person walked out of the crowd and came out and shouted to Armin:
"The things you practiced are too simple and easy. I don't think the chapter leader wants to see it."
The speaker was Bakhsh Farzad, also a newly promoted captain. He served about ten years later than Soshyan. He was a passionate but sometimes too impatient warrior.
But Soshyan also admitted that his skills and tactics are the best among this group of recruits, and perhaps for this reason, he has some pride.
Pride and vanity are the greatest enemies of the Space Marine souls, and Soshyan felt he must teach them this.
"Farzad, do you want to compete with me?"
Armin immediately turned around and faced the opponent directly, his tone was as tough as his eyes.
"It's been a while since I defeated you last time."
Farzad rubbed his fists and then looked at Soshyan.
"Chapter Commander, can you show us the results of our training?"
"Of course."
Soshiyang nodded calmly, and the two captains immediately picked up their weapons and stepped onto the metal ring in the center of the training room.
Armin used a short sword and shield, while Farzad used two battle axes.
Due to the Great Rebellion, battle axes are not popular among the Astartes Chapters, but the Astral Knights still retain the ancient battle ax skill, but this skill is very difficult, Soshyan What I like is Farzad’s mastery of this skill.
Although he is not yet proficient, at least his aggressive desire and spirit are rare.
After the two fighters faced off in the ring for a few seconds, Farzad was the first to attack as expected.
He approached the opponent at an extremely fast speed, then swung the battle ax with his right arm, passed Armin's shield, and then dragged it back violently.
This is an ancient tactic, using a sharp blade to hook the opponent's shield, leaving the opponent's middle door wide open and then delivering a fatal blow. Many tribal warriors from the primitive world still maintain this tactic.
Farzad is a warrior from a primitive tribe. The conscription world has an excellent source of soldiers. The war group has just been established less than 20 years ago, and he is the first batch of recruits.
But now, his world has become the recruiting world of another Chapter.
Armin was already prepared for Farzad's tactics. He tilted his shield back at a 45° angle and let his battle ax draw a spark on the shield. Then he bent his knees and pushed forward hard, knocking the opponent away from him. He smashed it away in front of him, and then sent the long sword forward, like a poisonous bee stinging its tail stinger.
But he stabbed nothing.
“You are too slow!”
Farzad mocked and suddenly continued to attack.
He swung his battle ax and hurled it towards his enemy's shoulder.
Armin jumped away from the menacing weapon.
"At least it's fast enough to deal with you!"
Armin gasped, retreating first, watching his opponent's movements coldly.
The next second, the creak of metal friction and sparks of collision echoed throughout the training room.
The soldiers were all watching, and some were even cheering.
Soshyan is a calm man. He knows very well how frustrated his brothers are about being driven out of their homes. They can only try their best to ensure that they have enough things to do to relieve their confusion and unwillingness.
The training room seems to have become a place for them to vent their hearts. It is this kind of power that Soshyan needs.
On the ring, Farzad continued to launch attacks and continued his agile pace.
His trimmed hair is a dirty brown color, and he still seems to retain the savage energy of a primitive tribe, and always carries a sense of confidence, even arrogance and intimidation. "No."
Farzad grinned.
“You’re just too damn slow.”
“Shut up and keep fighting!”
At this time, Farzad suddenly rushed to the left, Then he suddenly turned back, raised his ax blade, and aimed it at Armin's torso.
Then, the two weapons collided together in a rain of sparks and became entangled.
Farzad, who grabbed the loophole, used all the strength of his hands and the strength of his whole body to push hard.
Armin only lasted a moment before he stumbled back and lost his balance.
“Yaha!”
Farzad shouted and rushed over.
The ax blade and the sword blade kept colliding, and each collision released terrifying ripples rushing towards the blocker, but Farzad was undoubtedly faster, and his exposed His arms even looked a little blurry because he moved too fast.
"I'm coming."
Farzad gritted his teeth and roared, with an expression of concentration on his face.
Although the temperature in the training room was very low, his temples were still covered in sweat.
Armin did not respond, but was busy fending off the vicious and violent attacks of his comrades.
Both warriors did not wear armor, but wore leather jackets and greaves sewn with metal plates, which are common training uniforms for the Astral Knights.
Similarly, although the blade of the weapon has been blunted for training safety, it is still enough to break bones and penetrate flesh.
This was specially arranged by the seniors of the Chapter, in order to instill in the new recruits the control of weapons and reduce their dependence on armor.
“Ugh!”
Soon, Armin was forced to hit the fence hard, feeling as if the hard steel was squeezing into his back, but in Falza He rolled out of the way before De's battle ax slashed across his chest.
"Slow down, slow down, slow down..."
Behind him, Farzad was walking with his head held high, breathing heavily, his face covered with sweat mist.
"Maybe you would have fought better if you weren't chattering all the time."
Armin muttered, trying to regain his balance and take back the initiative.
"Whatever you think, if you can get some pitiful comfort."
Farzad, carrying a battle ax, said proudly as he walked with his head high.
With a smug smile on his face, he pushed his comrade into the attack range of his battle ax step by step.
“That’s right!”
After a glance from the corner of his eye, Armin suddenly roared and made a posture of curling up before jumping.
"That's true!"
He rushed up suddenly, rushed towards Farzad's defenseless torso, and knocked him backwards.
Farzad was too close and too confident to drop his battle ax in time.
Armin threw away his sword and shield, restrained him tightly with his arms, and pushed him back until he hit the farthest fence of the ring with a clang.
"Despicable...despicable!"
Although Farzad lost control of the battle ax, he still clenched his fist, preparing to give his opponent a heavy blow.
But Armin was more agile, and he hit Farzad directly in the face with his head.
In an instant, the sound of metal colliding was mixed with the sound of bones breaking. The two men fell off the ring at the same time, and the pungent smell of blood filled the air.
The audience was also shocked.
