The Astartes Family's Notebook

Having a Storm Shield of the Relic level is truly remarkable. It's a drag, so the Black Knight can't just pull out his plasma weapon and fire a triple shot to overload the Storm Shield. He can only go around in circles with the Son of Guilliman, and this goes on for ten minutes.

As the helmet timer ticked down from 599 to 600, Guilliman's son Astartes conceded defeat.

The Black Knights feel worse when they win than when they lose.

The final draw was still shrouded in secrecy, with the Grey Knight facing the Black Knight and Zhu Dan Khan facing Kaz.

Black Knight quit completely. After the draw, he announced that the contestant had injured his hand while attacking Storm Shield in the previous round and was forfeiting.

After saying that, everyone packed up and prepared to leave.

This whole GB saga is finally over. Filming wrapped, time to wrap up and leave.

The First Legion has always operated this way. The Black Knight found an excuse to run away, much to the envy of everyone else. But there's still a semi-final and the final championship battle to come.

Let's gamble and observe.

Fifteen minutes later, Kaz's power backpack cooled down, and he was fully revived.

However, to challenge Zhu Dan Khan is simply asking the impossible.

The value of the white scars is beyond doubt, and the value of Zhu Dan. Khan's company commander is beyond question.

Katz asked Tyrant how to fight this battle, and Tyrant calmly replied that he should play with style and skill.

Alright, I get it. With sheer overwhelming strength, Kars has absolutely no chance of winning.

Unwilling to give up, Kaz went to Ingus again, asking, "Senior, senior, please give me some pointers."

Ingus thought for almost a minute before hesitatingly telling Kaz that Judan Khan's left hand should be more flexible and powerful than his right.

It's not surprising. Astartes was a superhuman developed by the Emperor himself, so having two hands is perfectly normal for him.

The problem is, my comrade who's the company champion, Zhu Dan, was fighting with a knife in his right hand. Are you telling me this to undermine my confidence?

Following procedure and taking a step back, Kaz politely initiated a private chat request before the battle.

"Company Commander Zhu Dan, may I ask, how should I proceed?"

Hahaha, Zhu Dan was amused by Kaz's polite greeting.

No way, what the hell are you Desolation Wings?! How come you're all...?

Ah, it's so spiritual.

Zhu Dan suddenly realized that she had been talking nonsense about Warband Glory. In this GB's rigged cup, the outcome was not important at all. She was too caught up in the moment. Now, generously letting the opponent win was the only choice that would truly benefit White Scars.

"Punch me in the chest with all your might."

Kaz didn't understand what Zhu Dan Khan meant, but he was determined to obey, so he really hung the chainsaw sword on his back and charged towards the white-scarred company commander, unleashing a horse stance punch.

Damn Zhu Dan, why didn't you say you had an iron halo earlier?!

"Hahahahaha!"

Hearing Kaz gasp in the private chat, Zhu Dan immediately turned on the public address and burst out laughing.

"I concede."

With the air of a seasoned master, Latte Aura's force field generator blocked Kaz's powerful punch. Zhu Dan. Khan turned around gracefully, leaving the final battle to the Gray Knights and the Wasteland Wings.

Chapter 54 Sword Heart Clarity

Words are useless; a fist can express one's heart.

-------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------

Originally, the Grey Knights were prepared to deal with their brother units based on their strength and status.

Because the Grey Knights are special. As the last legacy left to the Empire by the Demon Prime Minister Macard, the Grey Knights' homeworld possesses a magical gadget similar to the Hyperbolic Time Chamber from Dragon Ball, where even a random recruit has five or six hundred years of service.

In duels, the Grey Knights are truly fearless.

However, with this escort, the nature of the competition has long changed. Even if he defeats Kars, the new recruit of the Wasteland Wings, the Astartes present probably won't truly be convinced.

It's difficult.

Grey Knights often play the villain, but they are not inherently evil.

Those who are not loyal cannot pass the inhuman selection and training of the Grey Knights.

Yukos, the Grey Knight who was cleaved in two by Logan Grenham's axe during the Moon of Shame incident, has a bad reputation among the eight Grey Knight Brotherhoods.

It's not that I doubt Yukos's loyalty; his loyalty is beyond question.

However, Yukos's arrogance and vanity gave even the High Master a headache.

Therefore, after the Moon of Shame incident, the Grey Knights did not launch any further retaliation or accountability measures against Space Wolves.

Privately, many fraternity members said it was good that Yukos was dead, otherwise they would have fallen into chaos sooner or later.

It should be noted that since the founding of the Grey Knights, not a single combatant has succumbed to Chaos.

Therefore, the Grey Knights felt quite aggrieved in this large-scale standoff.

Too many secrets cannot be made public, and the Grey Knights themselves have no intention of supporting the Inquisition or using the Month of Shame to launch an attack.

What could the Grey Knights do? Things always have to be done.

For His Holy Emperor, and for the survival and continuation of the Empire.

Just leave it at that.

I'm convinced and don't want to think about it anymore; just don't cause any more trouble.

The Grey Knights must win this battle.

Tyrant and Ingus's concerns were valid. Ever since Magnus, the Primarch of the Thousand Sons, categorized psionic energy into five major categories, there have been spells that interfere with the mind, regardless of the category.

From fear and timidity to irritability and mania, from mental lethargy to frozen thought, psionic energy can do anything that humans can imagine.

After all, it was a duel, and the Grey Knights couldn't make things too ugly. With the Nicaea Prohibition, a piece of toilet paper left over from the Emperor, all the gang members were actually feeling quite uncomfortable.

Therefore, no one has ever doubted whether Guilliman was the Emperor's biological son.

After all, their behavioral habits are highly consistent.

Among the four speculations, the most likely psionic method the Grey Knight would use is mind control.

In a battle between Astartes, a mere nanosecond of distraction is enough to determine the victor.

Therefore, Ingus and Tyrant felt that Kars's single-mindedness when he got angry might be surprisingly effective in the fight against the Grey Knights.

However, Desolate Wings did not expect that both the top-tier and mid-tier horses would be eliminated, while Kaz, the bottom-tier horse, would be guaranteed a spot in the finals.

I'd like to offer some off-court guidance, but I can't.

Having never dealt with the Grey Knights, hearing about them was like a frog at the bottom of a well seeing the sky.

Once you actually see the Grey Knight make a move, thinking about it again is like seeing a luminous moon.

The better one's insight, the more one understands the true value of the Grey Knight.

Kaz has no chance of winning. From the moment everyone accepted the duel, they had already fallen into the Grey Knights' trap.

Just because Logan Grenham, the alpha wolf of the Space Wolves, could chop the Grey Knight in half with one axe doesn't mean that just anyone can take advantage of the Grey Knight.

At least Zhu Dan. Khan was not certain of victory.

The Grey Knight who participated had such beautiful moves.

Every move, every stance, even every step is the result of countless hours of practice.

Aside from the game where the Black Templar was annoyed by the Imperial Black Sword, his performance was practically perfect.

For anyone in Astartes, heraldry is the most basic skill. If you can't read, the Chapter can tolerate it, but if you can't recognize the Astartes heraldry system, you deserve to be shot.

Kaz is a new recruit; everyone can tell.

The fact that Desolation Wings chose a new recruit like Kaz to participate in the competition initially made everyone think that Desolation Wings had no one else in the company, but later they found out that it was just a way of showing off.

As a new recruit, Kaz was too outstanding, making the Fourth Company of the Wasteland Wings look bad.

However, the dueling arena is a battlefield, and the battlefield only cares about winning and losing. There is never any respect for the elderly or the young. It is common for Nascent Soul cultivators to defeat Qi Refining cultivators.

Katz has no chance of winning.

They can't compete in experience, equipment, physical training, or even talent.

A complete and utter crushing defeat.

Because he had no expectations, when thousands of people chanted Kars' name, Kars suddenly felt a stinging sensation in his eyes.

As expected, they still want to win.

"Kaz! Kaz! Kaz! Kaz!"

When his name was called out, the clamor abruptly ceased; this was the discipline of Astartes.

Because both teams are in position.

The old procedure: take ten steps back.

The Grey Knight abandoned the Heavenly Punishment Powered Halberd and replaced it with the Chainsaw Sword.

The outcome was already predetermined; he wanted to win beautifully.

Come on, Katz, I acknowledge your excellence. Show everyone what you're capable of.

The battles in Astartes are swift, except for the teaching bureau.

At this moment, Kars became the one being taught.

We couldn't beat them, we really couldn't beat them, we were completely crushed into dust.

After two battles, the chainsaw sword broke, and Kaz abandoned it and used his fists instead. The Grey Knight also let go.

But he couldn't beat them with fists or feet either.

Motor Sich couldn't help but sigh and told Kaz to admit defeat.

Kars was unwilling; immense resentment drove him to continue fighting.

Motor Sich wanted to declare defeat on behalf of Katz, but Ingus stopped him.

"Company commander, please respect a soldier's determination."

Motor Sich remained silent.

The vast arena was as silent as a perpetual night, except for the clanging of the power armor against the steel.

All the Astartes present felt Katz's intense emotions.

We must win, we must win, even if it means sacrificing our lives.

because.

We are Astartes, the Emperor's angels of death!

But reality is cruel.

Even in a duel with the rule of "first blood," Kars's life-for-life approach, aimed solely at winning according to the rules, could not break through the Gray Knights' impenetrable defense.

The Grey Knights even abandoned their offensive strategy, focusing solely on defense and patiently waiting for Kaz to surrender or run out of energy.

There are absolutely no psychic abilities involved. If you want to win, you have to win fair and square!

Despite the intensity of the battle, the Grey Knight remained calm, while Kaz was already panting heavily.

He took off his helmet and tossed it on the ground. Three steps away, Kaz asked a question with red eyes.

What does life mean to you?

"Life is the currency of emperors."

The Grey Knight's answer was impeccable.

"So you're just going to waste the Emperor's currency like this?"

Katz pressed on with more questions.

"It's not a waste, but a necessary sacrifice."

The Grey Knight answered calmly.

"Then what is it that we Astartes have fought for?"
