In this competition, everyone is wearing uniform specifications of training armor. The structure of this armor is basically the same as that of power armor. It just has a lot more damage determination devices. Once the two sides are drawn into a draw, they will be divided by scoring. Win or lose.
There are three ways to win the game:
Knock your opponent off the stage
One party cannot get up again for ten seconds after falling to the ground.
one side admits defeat
The maximum duration of each battle cannot exceed ten minutes. Once it times out and neither side wins, it will be considered a draw and damage will be scored.
Ustad chose his best sword as a weapon, which was a long sword that could be used with one or two hands, and he also requested an additional secondary sword.
When he walked onto the arena with his helmet in hand, he saw his opponent.
It was a big man with a scarred face, wearing black armor (you can choose the color), holding a huge thunder hammer in both hands.
During the competition, all weapons are not allowed to use power. At this time, using heavier weapons actually has an advantage and makes it easier to knock down the opponent.
The opponent is very smart and powerful, but Ustad will not fail easily.
"I am Fabian Banega of the Hammers of Dorne!"
shouted Ustad's opponent, his voice duller than any engine.
"Welcome, brothers from the Astral Knights, let's have a good fight today!"
After saying that, Fabian Banega put on his helmet.
Ustad knew very well that his opponent was not only a champion, but also a battlefield commander. This status often required winning the respect of other warriors, and this kind of respect could only be obtained in frontline battles.
He will be a worthy opponent.
"I am Ustad from the Astral Knights."
Ustad stepped forward until he was facing Fabian Banega.
"It's also an honor to spar with such a great warrior like you."
The referee appeared next to the two at the right time.
"Are you ready?"
Ustad nodded, put on his helmet, then took two steps back, raised his sword and took a stance.
The same was true for Fabian Banega. The heavy warhammer was like a piece of firewood in his hand, swinging a semicircle in the air and blowing up the dust on the ground.
The referee glanced left and right, and then his raised arm fell heavily.
"start!"
Fabian Banega moved forward silently, swinging his heavy warhammer violently towards Ustad, intending to hit the opponent's chest with one blow and gain instant victory.
Ustad then raised his sword and used the force-removing technique taught by Thor to deflect the hammer.
The dance of battle enters a new and urgent movement.
Fabian Banega's fighting skills were among the best in his Chapter, but Ustad had also been training for a fight like this for many years.
As you come and go, both of them have an estimate of the other's strength.
Surprised by his opponent's superb sword skills, Fabian Banega gradually became serious. He no longer tried to solve the battle with one blow, but used heavy blows again and again to force Ustad's position, gradually suppressing him. The edge of the arena.
"If it were me, I would choose to attack that guy's lower body."
On the viewing platform, Talos and Soshyan were both watching the battle in the camera attentively, and Talos would express his opinions from time to time.
"The best way to deal with this bullish guy is to make him unable to balance. Attacking the knees or waist is a good strategy."
"It's not that simple. The opponent chose the long-handled hammer just to keep the battle at a safe distance."
"But the disadvantages of the long-handled hammer are also obvious."
As Talos said, because the center of gravity of Thunder Hammer is too far forward, every blow will be too heavy.
Ustad seemed to have found this weakness, and began to use the blade to deflect the opponent's weapon again and again when attacking with the thunder hammer, inducing him to invest more force.
Just a little longer, a little while longer, and he would find his chance.
"ha!!"
Ustad deliberately sold a flaw, and Fabian Banega fell for it as expected. He roared and struck with all his strength.
But Ustad was ready.
This time, he was not in a hurry to parry his opponent's attack, but chose to dodge deftly.
When the terrifying roar of the thunder hammer rang in his ears, Ustad remained calm. He quickly leaned over and avoided the opponent's swing twice in a row.
When Fabian Banega tried to attack again, he finally revealed a huge flaw.
He wanted to eliminate Ustad with an extremely powerful attack, but while he was gathering strength, his thunder hammer was raised too high and rested above his head for too long.
This was enough, Ustad saw through the opponent's attack pattern.
In a coherent and dexterous movement, he rushed into the opponent's blind spot, and the sword blade drew an arc and slashed across the opponent's left knee.
"ah!"
Fabian Banega roared, and his body tilted to the left involuntarily.
Ustad slapped the sword on the opponent's wrist, and the warhammer immediately fell to the ground.
Fabian Banega roared in defeat. He eagerly tried to grab his weapon again, but it was too late.
Ustad's sword was already at his neck.
The Dornish Hammer champion, who was still half-crouching, froze for a moment. It wasn't until more than ten seconds later that he let out a long sigh and took off his helmet.
"I admit defeat, you win, brother Ustad."
"It's just a fluke."
Ustad reached out, pulled the place up, and gave him a hug.
"Brother, your swordsmanship is great. I look forward to your future performance."
After the two embraced each other, there was no sign of competition. Fabian Banega even looked at Ustad with admiration.
"Of course, I will do my best."
When Ustad returned to the viewing stand after finishing his competition, the first thing he saw was Soshyan's smiling face.
"Good fight! I said, you can definitely do it!"
Ustad scratched the hair on his head in embarrassment.
"It's just...good luck."
The second round of competition is slightly faster than the first round, and then comes the third round.
After the budget round, the winners came to the secondary stage. They represented the Imperial Fist, the Black Templar, the Crimson Fist, the Executioner, the Iron Knight, the Celestial Lion, the Fire Lord, the Dread Tiger, and the Red Templar. 16 war groups including White Templars, Sons of Dorn, Conquerors, Midnight Sword, Death Assault, Emperor's Catastrophe, and Astral Knights participated in the next round of competition.
Likewise, participants draw lots to decide their opponents.
Five minutes later, Ustad returned to the viewing stand and told Soshyan the opponent he had drawn.
"My opponent is the White Temple, the champion of the second company, Brother Mutali, a veteran who has served for three hundred years. His weapon of choice is the sword and shield."
