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 called 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.
Tai'an had a face that even looked 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. He also waved his sword and feigned an attack. Tai'an's double blades held his long soldiers, one blocked his attack, and the other slashed towards his
neck.
The conditioned reflexes 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 to fight against Jacob's blade.
Swordsmanship versus reaction.
It didn't take long for Jacob to realize that he was passive and retreated continuously.
At this time, he couldn't even hear the comments around him. All his attention was focused on the oncoming blade. At this time, his long and short weapons turned into weaknesses. The opponent used the length of the weapons to suppress them.
Him, and looking for his flaws at a faster speed.
Realizing that he would definitely lose if he continued, Jacob decided to take a dangerous approach. 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 in his left hand that was facing away.
This is an assassination posture, a "blade technique" that he imitated after watching the Assassin Court assassins fighting when he was bored.
When he stretched out his long sword, Tai'an effortlessly blocked the blow with the long sword in his right hand. Sparks curled up between the violently scraped blades. Jacob continued to use the impact force to push himself up while spinning at the same time.
Using his wrist, he changed his grip and thrust the dagger into Tai'an's neck from below.
However, Tai'an actually turned sideways in the flash of lightning and used his shoulder armor like a shield to block the attack of the dagger.
Due to the length of the dagger, it was obviously considered 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, but meeting truly experienced warriors will only put you in danger."
After coming off the field, Jacob received a scolding from Bahram.
He had nothing to say, so he could only say yes again and again, and the result was no surprise. Tai'an won the prize, which made Arash blush a little.
Then there was a simple banquet, and everyone from the 10th Company who came to participate in the training also participated. This was also part of their training, and they learned to deal with the battle brothers of other chapters.
But as soon as the banquet ended, trouble ensued.
This is also the trouble that Bahram has long anticipated...
"Alexei Koch, one of the most famous Cleansing Grand Inquisitors in the Storm Star Territory, is also known as the Five Eyes giant with the other four conservative Inquisitors. He belongs to the most conservative and aggressive Cleansing faction.
The monopoly faction.”
In a small living room in the Scar of Victory, Bahram was pulled by Arash to face the wrath of the Tribunal. With them were two other chapter leaders, Magyar and Artkus, but the four
People did not all stand together. Mazar stood alone under a shrine, feeling like he was not involved. Artkus stood about ten meters to the left of Arash, with a tense face. Arash and Bahla
Mu 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, standing together with the three Chapter Masters was a bit uneasy, but after all, the whole thing was achieved through his "pulling the strings", and he really couldn't avoid it.
I can only lament in my heart that this time I am not training new recruits, I am completely training myself...
The Exclusivity Faction is currently the loudest faction in the Inquisition. They believe that humanity has a divine destiny decreed by the Emperor himself: to conquer the galaxy and destroy all creatures 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 for the moralistic arguments of Inquisitors who believe that there are many shades of gray between innocence and corruption.
No matter how small it is, responding hesitantly 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 Inquisition 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 preachers, 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 your beliefs.
Also 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 Cult assassins or a mighty jihadist army to go out.
There are often thousands of servants of all kinds.
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 war 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 questioning, Artkus bit them to death and did nothing.
There is no other way, then we can only meet and 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 strips, various decorations and mysterious objects of unknown origin strode in. Under his short gray and white hair, there was a face full of scars like a broken statue.
face, a tube was inserted into his left temple and connected to a device on the back of his neck. There was a mark of the Inquisition branded on his forehead. The rosette on his chest swayed slightly as he walked. One of his hands held
Wearing a metal crutch with one hand 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 cane he is carrying
