Chapter 590 Easily Win
In this competition, everyone is wearing training armor with uniform specifications. This armor has basically the same structure as power armor, except that it has a lot more damage determination devices. Once both parties If a tie is drawn, points will be scored to determine the winner.
There are three ways to win the game:
Knock your opponent off the arena
One party cannot get up again for ten seconds after falling to the ground
One side admits defeat
The maximum duration of each battle shall not exceed ten minutes. Once the timeout expires and neither side wins, it will be deemed a draw and damage points will be recorded.
Ustad chose his best sword as a weapon, which was a long sword that could be used with one or both hands, and he also asked for an additional secondary sword.
When he walked onto the arena with his helmet on his back, he saw his opponent.
It was a big man with scars on his face, wearing black armor (you can choose the color), holding a huge thunder hammer in both hands.
During the competition, all weapons are not allowed to use power. At this time, using heavier weapons actually has an advantage and makes it easier to knock down the opponent.
The opponent is very smart and powerful, but Ustad will not fail easily.
"I am Fabian Banega of the Hammers of Dorn!"
Ustad's opponent shouted, his voice duller than any engine.
“Welcome, brothers from the Astral Knights, let’s have a good fight today!”
After saying that, Fabian Banega put on his helmet.
Ustad knows very well that his opponent is not only a champion, but also a battlefield commander. This identity often requires winning the respect of other warriors, and this respect can only be obtained in frontline battles. .
He will be a worthy opponent.
"I am Ustad from the Astral Knights."
Ustad stepped forward until he stood opposite Fabian Banega.
"It's an honor to compete with a great warrior like you."
The referee appeared beside the two of them at the right time.
"Are you ready?"
Ustad nodded, put on his helmet, then took two steps back, raised his sword and took a stance.
The same is true for Fabian Banega. The heavy warhammer is like a piece of firewood in his hand, swinging a semicircle in the air and blowing up the dust on the ground.
The referee glanced left and right, and then his raised arm fell heavily.
“Start!”
Fabian Banega moved forward silently, swinging his heavy war hammer towards Ustad, intending to hit the opponent’s chest with one blow. Achieve victory.
Ustad then raised his sword and used the force-removing technique taught by Thor to deflect the hammer.
The dance of battle has entered a new and urgent movement.
Fabian Banega's fighting skills were among the best in his Chapter, but Ustad had also been training for a fight like this for many years.
As you come and go, both of them have an estimate of the other's strength.
Surprised by his opponent's superb swordsmanship, Fabian Banega gradually became serious and no longer tried to solve the battle with one blow, but used heavy blows to force Ustad's position. , gradually suppressing him to the edge of the arena.
"If it were me, I would choose to attack that guy's lower body."
On the viewing platform, Talos and Soshyan were looking attentively at the image in the monitor. fight, and Talos would express his opinions from time to time.
"The best way to deal with this bullish guy is to make him unable to balance. Attacking the knees or waist is a good strategy."
"It's not that simple. The opponent chose a long-handled hammer. It’s just to keep the battle at a safe distance.”
“But the disadvantage of the long-handled hammer is also obvious.” As Talos said, the thunder hammer’s center of gravity is too far forward, so every blow will be hit. Seems too heavy.
Ustad seemed to have found this weakness, and began to use the blade to deflect the opponent's weapon again and again when attacking with the thunder hammer, inducing him to invest more force.
Just a little longer, a little while longer, and he would find his chance.
“Ha!!”
Ustad deliberately sold a flaw, and Fabian Banega was fooled as expected. He roared and struck with all his strength.
But Ustad was ready.
This time, he was not in a hurry to parry his opponent's attack, but chose to dodge dexterously.
When the terrifying roar of the thunder hammer rang in his ears, Ustad remained calm. He quickly leaned over and avoided the opponent's swing twice in a row.
When Fabian Banega tried to attack again, he finally revealed a huge flaw.
He wanted to eliminate Ustad with an extremely powerful attack, but when he was accumulating strength, his thunder hammer was raised too high and rested above his head for too long.
This is enough, Ustad has seen through the opponent's attack pattern.
In a coherent and dexterous movement, he rushed into the opponent's blind spot. The sword blade drew an arc and slashed across the opponent's left knee.
"Ah!"
Fabian Banega roared, and his body tilted to the left involuntarily.
Ustad slapped the sword on the opponent's wrist, and the warhammer immediately fell to the ground.
Fabian Banega roared in defeat. He eagerly wanted to grab his weapon again, but it was too late.
Ustad's sword was already at his neck.
The Dornish Hammer champion, who was still in a half-crouched posture, froze for a moment. It wasn't until more than ten seconds later that he let out a long sigh and took off his helmet.
"I admit defeat. It was you who won, brother Ustad."
"It was just a fluke."
Ustad reached out his hand and pulled the opponent up. , and then give a hug.
“Brother, your swordsmanship is great, I look forward to your future performance.”
After the two embraced each other, there was no sign of competition. Fabian Banega even looked at Ustad with admiration.
“Of course, I will try my best.”
When he finished his competition and returned to the viewing stand, the first thing Ustad saw was Soshiyan’s smiling face.
"Good fight! I said, you can definitely do it!"
Ustad scratched the hair on his head with some embarrassment.
"It's just good luck."
The second round of competition is slightly faster than the first round, and then comes the third round.
After the budget round, the winners came to the secondary stage. They represented the Imperial Fist, the Black Templar, the Crimson Fist, the Executioner, the Iron Knight, the Celestial Lion, the Fire Lord, and the Terror. Sixteen war groups, including Tigers, Red Templars, White Templars, Sons of Dorn, Conquerors, Midnight Sword, Death Assault, Imperial Catastrophe, and Astral Knights, will participate in the next round of competition.
Similarly, participants still decide their opponents by drawing lots.
Five minutes later, Ustad returned to the viewing stand and told Soshyan about the opponent he had drawn.
"My opponent is the White Templar, the champion of the second company, Brother Mutali, a veteran who has served for three hundred years. His weapon of choice is the sword and shield."
