The White Temple is a very mysterious battle group. Not only is it not recorded at all, but there are even fewer combat records. It seems that the entire battle group has been squatting on the parent star, located on the sanctuary star in the Sun Star field for many years.
As a "Home Squat" battle group, the style of the White Temple is very puzzling, because even if the Astartes do not perform tasks, they will protect the empire and find glory on their own.
But most of the time, the White Temple only responds to the call of nearby areas and rarely appears outside the Sun Star Domain. Their recorded several major battles were fought with Green Skin.
Logically speaking, such a group with a low intensity of war should have many veterans who have been hundreds or even thousands of years old.
But in fact, every time the White Temple attacks, a large number of new recruits will appear in the battle group, while many of the previous veterans will disappear without a trace - in the sight of outsiders, the entire White Temple can rarely see soldiers who have served for more than four hundred years.
This is a very strange phenomenon. The Inquisition even suspected that the other party had acted not to follow the sacred scriptures and investigated it for this, but no results were obtained.
Soshiyang was also quite interested in facing such a battle group.
In the quarterfinals, it was not the previous mode. The extra competitive arenas were removed, leaving only one large competitive arena, and the eight groups of players went on stage to compete in turn.
As the excess competitive platform was removed, the viewing platform moved, becoming closer than before, and could see clearly without the need for a camera.
Ustad and Mutari are in the second group, and the first group is the Black Temple vs. the Sky Lion Team.
After the Horus rebellion, Dorn, the Primarch of the Empire Fist, agreed to Keriman's second army building plan, and his beloved legion was split into several sub-groups.
Among the new battle groups born this time, the most powerful one is the Black Temple.
Dorn gave the most essential power of the Empire Fist, including his flagship, to his beloved son, and was also the first Grand Marshal of the Black Temple, Sigismund.
Sigismund refused to abide by the Astartes Book, believing that the norms written by the Extreme Warrior Primaries were an insult to his primaries’ teachings.
So he chose to lead his soldiers into the depths of space, devoted himself to attacking the enemy of the empire, and began the greatest expedition in the history of the empire - this war has not ended until now, and lasted for ten thousand years.
The Black Church abandoned the establishment of the sub-group's home planet and did not build a single monastery like most Space Marines' chapters, but decided to establish a team station in every conquered world to recruit new comrades in future expeditions.
It is said that only the Grand Marshal knew the entire number of people in the Black Holy Church, but according to the Inquisition, their actual number is close to 6,000 Space Marines, which can be said to be the most powerful battle group in the empire at present.
Therefore, Soshiyang had to admit that as the most powerful force in the Empire's Fist System, the Black Holy Temple was indeed full of talented people. The champion of the Tianshi Battle Team lasted for only five minutes before he was defeated by the Paladin.
Soon, the second group of two players appeared on the athletics.
The champion of the White Church, Mutari, also looks like a young face, but he has a little more gloomy and calm than Ustad, giving him some of the qualities of experienced warriors.
His armor is milky white, with black shoulder and chest, and the heraldic emblem is a white cross with eight-pointed corners, which is somewhat similar to the Black Temple.
Mutari held a sword in one hand and a shield in the other, looking at Ustad without saying a word.
Ustad then slowly drew his sword, put it on his forehead, and nodded slightly at the other party - this was the most basic battlefield etiquette that Thor taught him.
"start!"
At the referee's order, the two began to resiliently turn around each other, trying to find an opportunity and a weakness in their opponents.
Suddenly, Ustad waved his sword, drew an arc and attacked downwards.
Mutari blocked the sword with his shield and then launched a counterattack.
With the instantaneous interweaving of offense and defense, both sides of the battle are testing the opponent's combat skills.
But this round of battle, Ustad knew that the opponent was difficult to deal with. If he dragged on, he would have more flaws than the opponent without shielding him.
"Here you come!"
So he roared, rushed over, stabbed Mutari's lower plate, trying to attack him unpredictably.
Mutari easily blocked the attack, then turned to attack, slashing Ustad's abdomen.
Ustad barely took this move with his sword, but at the same time his body lost balance at that moment. The opponent quickly grabbed the mistake and used a shield to hit Ustad, knocking him to the ground.
But then Mutari did not take advantage of the victory to pursue the victory, but instead stopped the attack, allowing Ustad to stand up again.
"You are really amazing, brother."
In fact, this fall was actually a trap set by Ustad. If the opponent dared to chase him up, then his second sword would take the opportunity to attack from below.
This technique is called "hidden sword" by Thor. You can only take a risk when facing a strong enemy that is extremely difficult to defeat.
But Ustad did not expect that the other party could see through it and did not recklessly launch a pursuit.
So he could only hold the second sword in his hand and exchange it for another tactic.
"Your swordsmanship is weird."
At this time, Mutari, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, and his voice was clear.
"This kind of quick and elegant sword skills, and it is hard to imagine that it was inherited by the Empire's Fist."
"Ha, times will change, people will change, and swordsmanship... will naturally change."
After saying that, Ustad rushed towards his opponent.
The next moment, their swords collided with each other, and the hilts locked together.
But when Ustad's deputy sword wanted to swing, his whole person was once again pushed away by the other party with a shield.
He waved the sword in his hand and slashed forward, and the opponent still easily blocked the attack.
But Ustad did not stop the sword, but instead launched another attack at a dazzling speed. The two swords drew a chaotic sword shadow on his hands. Each attack was faster and more fierce than the last time, and Mutari could not wait for a moment.
This is Ustad's second set of tactics - saturation attack.
In a short period of time, at the cost of consuming huge amounts of physical strength, attacks as many as possible, oppressing the opponent's defense, forcing the opponent to reveal flaws.
Sure enough, Mutari began to retreat step by step. He was no longer able to resist Ustad's attack like a gust of wind and waves, and he could only shrink behind the shield.
Even so, many scars began to appear on his power armor.
On many viewing platforms, the commanders or representatives of the battle group sighed after seeing Ustad's violent double sword combo.
"Good...fast sword!"
"It's a rare double sword master. I haven't seen such a master in about two hundred years... Last time I saw it, it was the second company commander of the extreme warrior."
"And if you look closely, he seems to be hitting hard, but in fact, the angle of each attack is very tricky, and Mutari is already difficult to support him. He could block nine swords before, but now he can't even block five swords."
"But doing this will consume a lot of physical strength, and I don't think it will last for too long."
However, among the many viewers, Huberto Silver, the leader of the Sons of Dorn, showed doubts.
