Soshyan was a little surprised by Trajan's face. He originally thought he would be elegant and noble similar to Valyrian, but in fact, the marshal of the Imperial Guard had stiff lines, his face was a bit broken due to many scars, and his complexion was obvious. He has a light gray color that is very common in Terra. His lips are very thin, his nose is broad, his short short hair and the short beard surrounding his lips and chin are gray-white.
He is the current Marshal of the Imperial Army, Trajan Valoris!
"Hello, Marshal Valoris, it is a great honor to meet you."
According to Velez, the Marshal of the Custodes had a thousand other names, each one are engraved on the phlogopite armor, but generally he is called Valoris out of standard etiquette. This title is used more in public places than some of his other titles - although this one is basically not How have you ever appeared in public?
Although he is not an official member of the current High Lords Council, no one would question that he is the closest to the Emperor's personal representative.
"Legion Commander Alexei, you have brought us many surprises as soon as you arrived."
The voice of the Marshal of the Forbidden Army was low and rich, and his tone was slow, as if every word had been carefully thought out.
“No one can break through the surveillance and come to the Tower of Overlord so easily.”
Soshiyang spread his hands helplessly.
“This is not what I thought.”
Hearing this, a smile appeared on Trajan's rock-like meticulous face, and then he walked aside, and at the same time a weapons rack rose from the ground, with a gorgeous spear on it.
“For people like us, being able to fulfill our mission is a blessing, so I envy you.”
Soshiyang blinked.
“I don’t quite understand what you mean.”
“Even the fall of a thousand worlds is not worth mentioning in our opinion. Do you understand? Only one thing can Let us care – that is to be able to carry out His magnificent will.”
As he said that, the Marshal of the Forbidden Army sighed softly.
“He no longer communicates with us in earthly language, but His thoughts may be known from the determination of those ministers who carry out His thoughts, and He has chosen you, Soshyan A Lexie, whether it is this expedition or everything that happens in the palace, we all know which hand is in charge."
"The Forbidden Army can also execute His will. Ten thousand years have passed. Do you really want everyone to stay here all the time? The Maelstrom Expedition was successful, but the Empire is still very dangerous. I believe you can see that the Empire's military operations in the past hundred years have rarely been successful, regardless of the heresy. The alien attacks are becoming more and more fierce, and one day there will be enemies that cannot be defeated by the existing battle groups alone. I personally think it is time for the Imperial Guards to play a powerful role."
" Your first duty is the Empire, so your statement is very convincing, but our first duty is the Emperor, and we are his guardians."
"I am just giving my personal opinion. .”
Trajan waved the weapon in his hand and looked at Soshyan.
"Come, let me see what the greatest Astartes in the Empire look like now."
Soshyan turned his head, and on the shelf rising beside him was The weapon was no different from the spear in Trajan's hand. He stroked the blade at the end of the metal handle that hung under the heavy bolter, and realized that this was not a training weapon, but a practical weapon.
"This is a very dangerous challenge, Marshal Trajan."
Soshyan's voice was low and steady. He did not hold the weapon immediately, but he did not refuse. "I heard that you sometimes use a strange long weapon on the battlefield. Doesn't this suit your hand?"
"It's okay."
Holding the middle end of the spear tightly, Soshyan turned around and pointed the spearhead at the ground.
With the cold sunlight shining through the window, his face seemed to be carved from granite.
In this silent moment, the two of them looked at each other, just like two knights checking the layout of the battlefield and the opponents they were about to face before charging into battle.
The almost stagnant air was suddenly cut by thunder. The two men suddenly stepped forward almost at the same time, stabbing out the spears in their hands, pointing directly at the opponent in front of them.
Soshiyang brushed his line and moved sideways to avoid it. At the same time, he swung his backhand and slashed the opponent's head with his spear. Not to be outdone, Trajan tilted his head and let the opponent's spear hit him. While cutting through and taking away several hairs, he held the spear tightly with both hands and hit Soshyan hard on the abdomen. Soshyan turned around and speared, and the spearhead and the spear shaft made a deafening collision sound.
For a moment, Soshyan felt that the spear in his hand was almost knocked away by the force. The power of this forbidden army marshal was really amazing, even more powerful than some demons he encountered.
Soshyan took advantage of his strength and took a few steps back. Suddenly, the spear tip was raised and slashed towards the opponent's crotch. Trajan twisted around and poked the spear to the ground, holding Soshyan back.
The moment the two sides' offensives paused, Trajan smiled slightly, then changed his spear-holding gesture, and when he opened Soshyan's spear, the spear in his hand went straight to the opponent's door. The momentum is like a rainbow, coming through the sky like a silver dragon.
However, Suoshiyang's expression remained unchanged. His spear flicked upwards, creating a stream of light in the air and meeting the silver dragon head-on. A shocking loud noise erupted in an instant, and even the surrounding flower windows trembled slightly.
The spear passed between the two people, bursting out with dazzling starlight and sparks. The two people were constantly moving forward, backward, and blocking, sometimes thrusting, sometimes dodging, and it seemed that they could not tell the winner. burden.
At this time, both of them showed speed and strength that amazed each other. As the spears danced, they emitted harsh sonic booms due to their excessive speed. Lightning-like attacks criss-crossed in the air, constantly moving, and Seeking to find each other's weaknesses, both sides are very proficient in the use of spears. They are very flexible in dodging and counterattacking, and their moves are diverse. Every move in attack and defense is full of power.
In the eyes of mortals, perhaps this is not a contest, but two giant beasts fighting, which makes people feel frightened.
After a few rounds, they took a few steps back in surprise, their eyes shining with a light they had never seen before.
Then they fought again.
This time Soshyan used all his strength——
When the two were about to collide, he suddenly stepped back, and at the same time the spear in his hand spun, and instantly switched to Sweeping stance, attacking the opponent's lower body.
Soshiyan's speed was so fast that Trajan's expression tensed up instantly. He knew that if he was hit by this blow, he would probably be knocked down immediately, so he tried his best to move his body to the right. With one turn, he avoided the attacker's spear and at the same time, directly stabbed the opponent's chest with the weapon.
Before he could regain his balance, Soshyan suddenly changed direction and jumped upwards.
Click!
A violent collision sounded, and Trajan stepped back a few steps, his hand holding the spear trembling slightly.
And Soshyan’s spearhead was already on his chest——
