Tai'an is the current captain of the seventh company of the Astral Knights and a good friend of Murad, the former sergeant of the first company of the White Templar. The two were known as the Twins of the Templar when they were in the White Templar. They are also the two sharpest swords in Randall's hands. , but after Randall was assassinated, Murad could not face the chapter and chose to leave, while Tai'an stayed to assist the new chapter leader Arash.
Taian had a face that even looked a little gentle, with calm eyes. Jacob had also heard about the White Temple champion, so he showed extra respect and gave him a duel salute.
Both of them used double swords, but Tai'an's weapons were two long curved knives.
And Jacob knew very clearly that Tai'an was also a warrior who had been transplanted with gray marrow.
Boom!
There was a sound of drums, and Tai'an appeared in front of him faster than Jacob thought, so he also waved his sword to feint attack. Tai'an's double blades held his long soldiers, one blocked his attack, and the other slashed towards his neck.
The conditioned reflex accumulated over the years allowed Jacob to jam the opponent's blade with the lattice of the dagger in time, but this was only the first step in this deadly dance. Tai'an used his incredible speed and Strength versus Jacob's swordsmanship and reflexes.
It didn’t take long for Jacob to realize that he was passive and retreated continuously.
At this time, he could not even hear the comments around him, and all his attention was focused on the oncoming blade. At this time, his long and short weapons turned into weaknesses, and the opponent Use the length of the weapon to suppress him and find his weaknesses at a faster speed.
Realizing that he would definitely lose if he continued, Jacob decided to take risks. After swinging away the opponent's blade, he suddenly turned sideways and bumped into Tai'an with his shoulder. At the same time, he hid the dagger behind his back. on the left hand.
This is an assassination posture, a "blade skill" that he imitated after watching the Assassin's Battle in the Assassin Court when he was bored.
When his long sword reached out, Tai'an effortlessly blocked the blow with the long knife in his right hand. Sparks curled up between the violently scraped blades. Jacob continued to use the impact force to push himself forward. Push it up, rotate your wrist at the same time, change your grip, and stab Tai'an's neck from below with the dagger.
However, Tai'an actually turned sideways in the flash of lightning and blocked the dagger attack with his shoulder armor like a shield.
Due to the length of the dagger, it was apparently deemed unable to break through the shoulder armor defense, and although it hit, there was no discharge.
When he came to his senses, the opponent's weapon was already on his neck.
Jacob raised his hands helplessly.
“So I said, don’t learn those crooked things. Those things can be used to deal with careless enemies. Meeting a truly experienced warrior will only make you fall into Dangerous situation."
After leaving the field, Jacob got a scolding from Bahram.
He had nothing to say, so he could only say yes repeatedly, and the result was no surprise. Tai'an won the prize, which made Arash blush a little.
A simple banquet followed, and everyone from the Tenth Company who came to participate in the training also participated. This was also part of their training, and they learned to deal with battle brothers from other battle groups. But as soon as the banquet ended, trouble ensued.
This is also the trouble that Bahram had long expected
"Alexei Koch, one of the most famous Cleansing Grand Inquisitors in the Storm Star Territory, and four other conservatives The Inquisitor is also known as the Five Eyes Giant, and it belongs to the most conservative and aggressive exclusive faction among the Clean Faction.”
In a small living room in the Scar of Victory, Bahram was killed by Arash. Lala came to face the wrath of the Tribunal. Also with them were two other Chapter Masters, Magyar and Artkus, but the four of them were not all standing together. Magyar stood alone under a shrine. There was a feeling of being outside the situation. Artkus stood about ten meters to the left of Arash, with a tense face. Arash and Bahram stood side by side, and only the two of them were talking quietly.
The atmosphere can be said to be a bit subtle.
For Bahram, it was a bit uneasy to stand with the three Chapter Masters, but after all, the whole thing was achieved by his "pulling the strings", and he really couldn't avoid it.
I can only lament in my heart that this time it is not training new recruits, but training myself.
The Exclusive Faction is also the faction with the loudest voice in the Tribunal. They believe that humans have A divine destiny decreed by the Emperor himself: to conquer the galaxy and destroy all living things that deny his divinity and right to rule.
Their philosophy is to eliminate all threats, no matter how big or small, and they have no time to listen to the moralistic arguments of the Inquisitors who believe that there are many shades of gray between innocence and corruption. , no matter how small a deviation from the right path, hesitation in dealing with it will lead to eternal damnation.
Reflected in specific behaviors, they will clean, burn and destroy at all costs. They are also the faction in the Tribunal that executes extermination orders most frequently.
And unlike most of the Inquisition's cynical ideals, the Exclusivists have close ties to the Established Church, and they also believe in the confusing teachings of the Established Church. Unlike many self-righteous "liberal" Inquisition factions, they know that they can seek help from the Established Church. Political and financial support, only fools will ignore the powerful resources they can bring, so missionaries, confessors, exorcists and ascetics are their most common followers, and those monopoly grand inquisitors will always be around Surround yourself with people who reflect and share their faith.
Because of the unlimited manpower and material support of the State Religion, the Grand Inquisitors of the Exclusive Faction are unusually powerful and can easily mobilize hundreds of Death Worship Assassins, or a mighty force. The swaying jihadist army always has thousands of servants of all kinds when it goes out.
Even the Astartes Chapter would show courtesy to such a person.
It’s no wonder that Arash suddenly seemed a little anxious. After all, he accepted the relic battle group on the front foot, and the opponent came on the back foot. It was obviously not an accident.
Bahram also speculated that the Relic Chapter might have really "committed something", but in the face of their inquiries, Artkus bit them to death and did nothing.
There is no other way, then we can only meet and then break up.
As the heavy door slowly opened, a heavy and messy step echoed in the hall.
A man wearing a black coat, his body covered with scripture scrolls, various decorations and mysterious objects of unknown origin strode in. Under his short gray and white hair, there was a picture full of His face was scarred like a broken statue. A tube was inserted into his left temple and connected to a device behind his neck. There was a mark of the Tribunal branded on his forehead. The rosette on his chest swayed slightly as he walked. One of his hands is holding a metal crutch, and the other is behind his back. He looks like a lord walking on his territory, or a domineering general, but it also makes people feel a clear threat, as if The hand behind his back already held the weapon.
