The duel attracted everyone, including Robin, because of the previous quarrel.
On the other hand, Sabrin himself was also interested in everyone. The Eleventh Company has always been a secret topic in the battle group. Although most of the combat brothers already knew their existence, all the company commanders warned their company soldiers not to inquire about the company, and did not encourage the company soldiers to contact them.
But people's curiosity is not so easy to dispel. Some rumors about the 11th Company are still spreading among the companies. In fact, as long as they are not stupid, most people can see that the 11th Company is definitely not the bloodline of the Immortal Army. Although the Sixth Company is not, it is ultimately from an once loyal imperial battle group.
The tactical style of the 11th Company, their equipment, and the dark temperament of the company members, can easily remind people of some rebellious legions, and in addition, the mysterious company commander Talos, who had been in the battle group before most of the soldiers served, but other company commanders seemed to have no friendship with him, and sometimes even regarded his commander above.
In fact, there have always been statements about the genetic seeds used by the 11th Company from the Eighth Legion. The rumor was leaked by a company commander inadvertently. The Eighth Legion's reputation is a notorious type from the Chaos side to the Empire side.
This is also the reason why the Eleventh Company has become increasingly isolated as the team expands.
Most of the war team soldiers have long regarded them as blood brothers, and are not even as close as the Sixth Company. It is just that under Soshiyang's unquestionable authority, everyone can maintain a peaceful and uninterested attitude.
However, curiosity is always all-round. While curious about identity, as Space Marines, they will naturally be curious about the skills of these midnight sons who "board" in the battle group.
After all, the Knights of the Star Realm have not really encountered the Midnight Lord’s War Gang so far, and most people’s impression of them is only derived from the description in the archives.
Cowards, butchers, and lunatics.
Since it was a duel of grudges, it would naturally not be bare hands.
With the weapon stands rising on both sides of the arena, dozens of melee weapons with different shapes and weights appeared in front of everyone. Of course, most of them were training weapons, without blades, sharpening them, and weight reduction. However, there was still no problem with killing people at the hands of Space Marines, and it could also beat the combat brothers to the point of bleeding.
Oscar chose a two-handed sword, which is the same specification as the conventional power sword, but is thinner and has no force field generator.
Sabrin chose a long halberd, and this choice immediately made people talk around him because this weapon is not very common. After all, Space Marines often need to fight in narrow environments. Long weapons are usually not within the selection range. Generally, the first company of Terminator elites often use spears.
In many people's memory, it seems that only the mysterious company commander of the 11th Company often uses it.
Sabrin turned the classical Knight halberd, which is much lighter than the chainsaw halberd, and then kept holding the halberd in the middle of the long halberd with his left hand and holding the end with his right hand. He raised it in front of him, pointing his head at the Oscar. (To complain here, whether it is the imperial guard or the gray knight, the way of holding the halberd in the official illustration of GW is basically wrong. I don’t know if they don’t have the money to ask for weapons guidance...)
Oscar retreated with his right leg, lifted the sword to waist high with both hands, and pointed at his opponent.
There is no doubt that in terms of weapon length, Sabrin has a certain advantage, and his long halberd is half a body longer than Oscar's long sword.
Oscar has not specially trained against enemies with weapons, but now he has to force himself to use an unfamiliar style. In fact, he also has skills such as sword and shield, but choosing a shield in this situation will make people feel afraid.
The two did not take action immediately. They looked at each other. Then Sabrin took a step forward and made a move that might be stabbed. This was exactly what Oscar was guarding against. If the other party did this, he would try to slap the opponent's weapon and quickly pull him closer, and use the hilt and sword grid to continuously and violently hit the opponent's head from top to bottom.
But Sabrin suddenly gave up. He changed his left hand to hold the halberd above his head. This was an attractive opportunity, with the chest in front of him.
However, Oscar suppressed this impulse because he knew that if he rushed forward at this time, the opponent would retreat and the long halberd would pierce from top to bottom. With the same force, the opponent would exert more effort and speed faster. It is possible that his head would be injured first.
Before Oscar could reconsider, Sabrin suddenly took the initiative to advance with extreme speed. For the third time, he changed his posture of holding a halberd with both hands. The long halberd descended to a height parallel to his eyes. When he stepped out his left leg, the blade pointed straight ahead.
Expecting the opponent's attack, when the halberd stabbed at an oblique angle of about 20 degrees, Oscar raised his sword and snatched back.
Sabrin's attack was fast and fierce. As soon as both sides' weapons were in contact, Oscar felt his elbow trembling, and the weapons of both sides even sparked. Fortunately, his defense did not collapse.
Everyone on the sidelines also heard a sound of tsk sound at the moment when the two sides had contact.
Oscar had planned to knock out the halberd and then swung his sword to fight back, but now all he could do was to try his best to prevent his opponent's weapon from touching his neck.
If he missed one blow, Sabrin was not greedy, but instead took a step back and prepared to launch a second strike.
Oscar also took the opportunity to retreat quickly, and he also needed time to reorganize his posture.
For both sides, this is a test.
Both of them were walking slowly, surrounding a tacit understanding center. Oscar understood the limit distance of the tip of his sword and the limit distance of the opponent's weapons. The same is true for Sabrin. The center where the two met was the center of the circle they surrounded.
Then, Sabrin's posture changed again. Although he was still holding the end with his right hand and the middle with his left hand, the head of the war halberd was raised straight, with the handle of the halberd standing diagonally on his chest, and his feet were intertwined and small steps began to move forward.
Seeing Sabrin approaching again, Oscar decided to take the initiative to attack.
He moved two steps to the right, stretched out a huge span with his legs, and sank his knees, and waved lightning-fast slashes and striking up with both hands. The target was not the opponent's chest, but his thighs.
Sabrin immediately changed his pace and swung his halberd early to block Oscar's stabbing - his halberd could touch the opponent's shoulders or head before the opponent touched his thighs.
Oscar was prepared for it. Before the two weapons were fighting, he turned his wrist to put the sword on the handle of the other party's halberd, and put it on the shelf with the sword.
If the opponent has the advantage of weapon distance, the best way is to stick it on and slash quickly. The sword's stabs and snatches are both weak against strong.
Oscar's idea was that if the opponent's weapon was not retracted in time, then he would then step forward and use a sword to wipe his neck horizontally. If the opponent's weapon was retracted and retreated quickly, he would immediately turn around and sweep his waist and sweep his sword.
No matter what happens, the other party must be subject to a blow.
As expected, Sabrin had to retreat quickly to avoid the blade and retract the halberd back.
Realizing his advantage, Oscar pressed on it and tried to end the battle before the opponent stabilized his position.
