Chapter 2638: Breaking out
“This is OK.”
Regarding Bahram's request to participate in the review of the Relics Think Tank, Mazar agreed immediately, and then turned his eyes to the right.
"Brother Zidno, you will lead all think tanks and Company Commander Bahram to the Mark of Victory."
The director of the Ascetic think tank came out and gave a tribute.
"yes."
Bahram did not stay in the Temple of Death, and then returned to the Scar of Victory with the Ascetic think tank group and informed Magyar of the "request".
Artecus did not respond immediately, but said that he would go back to discuss with the other company commanders of the regiment, and Bahram was not in a hurry either.
After waiting for about a day, Artecus brought his reply, as well as all the think tanks of the battle group.
Then the think tanks of the Ascetics Group began to have detailed communication with the think tanks of the Relics Group one by one. This process took more than ten standard Terra Days. During this process, Bahram, as the representative of the Astral Knight, accompanied Alash to the flagship "Sacred Heritage" battle barge of the Relics Group, and had friendly exchanges with the command of the group.
When the results came out, Bahram couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The tired Ascetics think tanks unanimously confirmed that the Relics think tanks had no principled problems. The number of think tanks in this battle group was probably related to the genes of the residents of the parent star. Because of the closeness of the Eye of Fear, the residents' psychic mutation genes were also more active.
However, they did have a secret research meeting on Chaos Items, and the Relics Team also acknowledged this, but they said that the secret meeting was terminated after the Inquisition issued a ruling and made a guarantee.
After obtaining the results, Magyar led the command of the Ascetics Chapter to the Seizures, and had a brief meeting with Artecus. Then he announced with Arash that the Relics Chapter would become an observer of the League of Suffering and sent the result to various members of the League. After the observation period ended, the members of the League unanimously voted to decide whether to officially join.
The result that was quite satisfactory by all parties also made Bahram relieved. Since things were done, it was necessary to celebrate. So led by the Ascetics, representatives of several battle groups held a friendly competition in the arena of Victory Traces. The prize was a treasure that Magyar took out from his own treasure house, a ritual dagger made of the incredible fangs of a green warlord he killed in the past.
Things are not expensive, but they are of extraordinary significance. The way to compete is to draw lots in two or two, and then the winner advances and draws lottery again.
The battle groups involved include the White Holy Church, the Astral Knight, the Ascetic, the Relics Battle, and the Left-behind Warriors of the Flesh and the Woolers.
The representative of the Knight of the Astrology is naturally Jacob.
The opponent he drew was a veteran named Boca in a row of Ascetics. He had a gray scar on his wide and low eyebrows, and his pale eyes shone with cold light in his deep eye sockets. He was a veteran who had been through many battles.
The weapon used by the other party was a spear, which seemed a bit strange, because it was rare for Astarte to use long weapons, but considering the ascetics' preference for the sickle blade, this seemed understandable.
Jacob was not good at using long weapons, and to make up for this flaw, he rarely decided to use a two-handed sword.
Moreover, Jacob's two-handed sword is a combination of one long and one short, which is not common in Astart's swordsmanship, but Magyar has seen it. In his memory, there are not many warriors who can use this long and short swordsmanship. There is a champion named Robin who has a deep memory.
Now, there seems to be another one more.
The two of them came to the center of the huge arena, and the lights on the inner wall pointed directly at them. Above the four walls were spectators from various battle groups, and they welcomed the arrival of that wonderful moment in silence.
Dong!
Accompanied by a drum, Boca took the lead in attacking, rushing forward with his spear in his hands. Although it was just a training weapon, the strong wind that could cut the skin still condensed on the tip of the spear.
Jacob held his breath and calmed down, twisting his body to dodge the moment the spear came, and responded with a dagger, but was immediately swung away by the end of the spear.
But Boca's movements were also very fast, quickly retreating and widening the distance from Jacob. Then a series of precise and deadly moves hit Jacob's chest and abdomen like raindrops, with a momentum like a bomb gun that tightly held the trigger.
In the opponent's thrust and diagonal cut, Jacob constantly used the difference in length of the two swords to block, and the spearhead and the blade collided violently between them.
After turning around and blocking three light hits on his chest, Jacob suddenly seized the opportunity, crossed the swords and blades to clamp the opponent's spear with the sword grid and blades, and then pushed the blade forward with force. However, the veteran reacted very quickly, and directly let the weapon loosen and wiped the double blades through his palms. Then, before the weapon landed, he gently pushed it with his knee and grabbed the tail of the spear, and swung it left and right.
Jacob staggered back to the side with the impact of metal.
Boca took back his spear and raised his posture again. The tip of the spear was slightly raised towards Jacob. Jacob looked down at the rib that had just been hit by the other party with a spear. If it was actual combat, it would not cause any damage.
But there was a burst of cheers immediately around.
Jacob was unmoved and changed his posture. Seeing this, Boca also rotated his spear and changed his grip.
The two sides rushed towards each other again. At the moment of contact, Jacob pretended to make a mistake. He put down his dagger and lured his opponent into the minefield. He clearly remembered what Saul had taught that short-term efforts are to advance quickly, and lasting is to take advantage of the opponent.
When Boca stabbed his abdomen with a spear, Jacob used the skills Thor had taught him against long weapons - he threw out the dagger, causing Boca to dodge subconsciously.
Taking this opportunity, Jacob retreated aside, grabbed the handle of the gun, and then pulled the opponent closer. Boca's reaction was extremely quick, trying to push Jacob's sword arm with his spear, but Jacob bent over and flew over the gap under the opponent's weapon, threw out the sword flower, and slashed hard on the opponent's ribs. The strong impact burst out with electric current, and the ascetic veteran staggered.
But this did not defeat him. Boca's spear swept downward toward Jacob, but the opponent rushed forward like an electric light. In just one second, Boca blocked four strikes with the spear, but in the end the opponent's sword hit him accurately on the back of his neck.
Fatal injury, eliminated.
Thunderous applause sounded around him. In fact, Jacob was a little embarrassed because the one who threw out the dagger was a bit disgraceful, but since he chose such a weapon, it seemed that everyone had agreed that there would be such combat skills.
After all, Astart's competitive nature is far more important than ritual nature.
