Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes

53 Pas de deux

There are winners and losers in any competition, and any victory or defeat is something that people care about, otherwise the competition itself is meaningless.

And after intense competition and confrontation, there is no language or vocabulary that is more disgusting than the seemingly generous evaluation from the winner.

That's the case now for Gavins, who teamed up with Calvin in the previous 2v2, easily overcoming the opposing duo with the latter's psychic support.

The privilege of being the winner is also the duty of the loser, and he is now proudly using words to continuously pollute the ears of the loser:

"Don't be so nervous, you care too much about winning or losing, learn from me, Tariq. This is just an experiment. Winning or losing has nothing to do with honor!"

"The winner has the right to speak! Whether he has gold or shit in his mouth." Hearing what Gavins said, as the loser just now and now a participant in the new round of confrontation, Tarek responded angrily.

"Don't be distracted, Tariq! Have you forgotten how you lost just now?" Alex, the comrade-in-arms beside him, was also one of the victims just now, but his relatively stable personality allowed him to quickly recover from the defeat , And I didn't forget to remind my comrades not to fall into the trap of the other party again.

Instead of being obsessed with the failure of the previous game, it is better to focus on the battle in front of him and try his best to win the next game, which is more in line with Alex's philosophy.

On the large fighting arena in the training ground, Calvin and Gavins faced back to back, facing the four paladins surrounding the two of them.

But it is different from the situation of being surrounded. Among the two sides confronting each other on the field, the one facing the enemy is the one with more people.The four paladins stared closely at the two who were still chatting and joking in the encirclement, for fear that another surprise attack would turn the superiority in numbers on the field into a disgrace and talk off the field later.

Just now, between the ups and downs of the rabbits, the 30V2 confrontation where the winner was decided in less than 2 seconds, made the paladins put away their contempt.Such an easy defeat made these elites from the Gray Knights no longer blindly proud and confident.

"Can I use psychic power?" This was the first time Amonks spoke on the field, and he only used language where it was most needed.

"Can you?" Gavins asked Calvin with his eyes.

"Of course, we also need to know the limit of the anti-interference ability of this psychic channel. Except for weapon enchanting, if you don't want to kill me and Gavin." Calvin replied with a smile.

"Then I have no problem." Gold, the last person on the field and also the deputy of the guard, patted his chest.

"Me too?" Gavins asked again.

"Yes, but I'm not sure if your skills will be affected by me." Calvin said to Gavins.After all, the anchor point of the psionic channel is placed in the middle of such a sensitive forehead, and most of the psionic initiation process is transferred from here to the eyes and finally released.

"Okay, let's start." After being confirmed, Gavins turned his head and continued to look at the opponent in front of him, shaking the scimitars in his hands and said.

And Calvin, who was behind him, also got the eyes of the beginning of the confrontation, put his hands together, and shouted: "The holy Kara is contacting you and me!..."

Well, the above sentence is purely hypothetical.

The real situation is that Calvin didn't make any big moves, he just called to the silver sun in the spiritual world between breaths, and opened the authority of the spiritual channel.Gavins, who had been anchored by Calvin in advance, just silently recited Calvin's name deep in his heart, and the psionic signal between each other was instantly established in a time shorter than breathing. .

This process is like the relationship between a server and a data terminal that has signed a data agreement in advance.

Gavins' thinking and vision are transmitted to Calvin's brain in real time, and Calvin's role is to complete efficient information communication with him and send the results back while burdening this external thinking.

The whole set of workflow is not complicated, but if Calvin wants to use this set of things that is not so much a skill as a command system on a larger scale, then how to ensure The unobstructed flow of thinking information will be a problem he can't get around.

But in the current "local area network" with only two people, all Calvin has to do is "start the machine".

And the alarm of the battle was also sounded at the same time at this moment: the flow of thinking of the two people coincidentally came up with an answer after the docking:
"Turn it! Only by turning it can the advantages of the two be fully utilized!"

After communicating at the millisecond level, the two of them consistently ignored the opponents on the flanks, and launched a powerful jump attack towards the enemy in front.

And when the opponent rushed to parry with all his strength, and followed his rich combat experience, and was always ready to support his flank teammates in time after being tricked, they brazenly discovered that the opponent was not only the jump and chop in the first round but A false move, even a rebound with the opponent's strength is also a false move! .
With their backs to each other and no communication between them, Calvin and Gavins used the first round of attacks to distance themselves from the opponent in front of them, and then went straight to Gold, on the left of Gavins, launched a death spin consisting of two people and four scimitars!
They're all Astartes, they're all heavily modified superhuman warriors!

If the target of such an attack with both strength and speed is a mortal, then the latter may have already been torn to pieces on the spot before it even had time to react.

But Gold is not!He is not fundamentally different from the other party!At least, in front of Calvin and Gavins, who deliberately restrained their strength for the sake of fairness, there was no qualitative gap between him!
Faced with such an attack that evading could no longer solve the problem, the veteran's bloodiness made him decide not to retreat any more. He wanted to fight for a chance for the remaining three comrades who were rushing forward!

Now that death is doomed, how to maximize the value of a qualified emperor's gold coin is the last thought of this veteran.

Without hesitation, Gold took two steps back and couldn't leave the attacking range of the opponent's duo. He immediately stopped the pace of continuing to retreat. Hold high and chop forward.

Die, yes.But even if you die, the direction of the blade of the halberd must be the direction of victory!
Gold's behavior was too obvious, and the other five people present immediately felt the intention of his behavior.

But unexpectedly, no one stopped for this, including Calvin and Gavins who were at the point of Gold's halberd.On the contrary, they are grateful for such behavior.

Such a style of play that all dies together may not be suitable for the internal contests among comrades-in-arms.But isn't the original purpose of this skill experiment to simulate the cruelest situation on the battlefield?

If he can't cope with this kind of style of play, what is the practical significance of him?And if Gold chose to put it on the battlefield, who would he protect with his life?
Calvin and Gavins are full of respect for Gold's choice, but since they are opponents, the best way to respect him is to give him a decent exit!
The high-speed maneuvers of the two were like one person manipulating two bodies. After Gold slashed with all his strength, they separated and merged smoothly like flowing water.

And Gold, who had exhausted all his strength and had no chance to dodge, could only watch Gavins who turned and left, and Calvin who followed him calmly slashed the knife on Gold's helmet. Yingluo is divided into two.

At this time, the three people who had arrived late, also stopped when they saw this.

In the absence of a sneak attack and double the number of people, the short period of time for the battle damage is enough to explain too many facts.

This kind of communication efficiency is already far higher than the limit efficiency that can be achieved by relying on language in the electronic communication channel in Power Armor, and the sharing of real-time combat vision between each other is not a tactical command that only a few commanders can have. field of view can be compared.

Now that the advantages and disadvantages are so clear, the remaining question is how many people can be kept online at the same time, as the inventor and initiator of this brand new system, Calvin?

And can such a tactical system relying on Calvin's psychic power resist all kinds of external interference in future real battles?
These are all things that Calvin needs to prove one by one, and if these are proven to be reliable and pure, this system may mean a completely different way of fighting for this guard up.

And such a change will obviously not be the first time, let alone the last time.How to adapt to the changes brought about by the Primarch will be an unavoidable problem if they want to serve the Emperor.

"My lord, is it true that my humble servants are really this old?" The paladins on and off the court had the same thought in their hearts.
