Chapter 53: Couple Dance
There are wins and losses in any competition, and any win or loss makes people care, otherwise the competition itself would be meaningless.
And after the intense competition and confrontation, there is no language or words that are more disgusting than the seemingly generous evaluation from the winner.
This is what Gavins is like now. He cooperated with Calvin in the previous 2v2 and easily defeated the opposing duo with the latter's psychic support.
The privilege of being a winner is also the obligation of the loser. He is now triumphantly polluting the loser's ears with words:
"Don't be so nervous, you care too much about winning or losing, learn from me, Tariq. This is just an experiment. Whether winning or losing has nothing to do with honor!"
"The winner has the right to speak! No matter whether he holds gold or shit in his mouth." Hearing Gavins' words, as the loser just now and now a participant in a new round of confrontation, Tariq responded indignantly.
"Don't be distracted, Tariq! Have you forgotten how you lost just now?" Alex, his comrade beside him, was also one of the victims just now, but his relatively stable personality allowed him to quickly get out of the failure, and he did not forget to remind his comrades not to fall into the opponent's trap again.
Instead of dwelling on 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 stage in the training ground, Calvin and Gavins faced the four paladins who surrounded them with their backs.
But unlike the situation of being surrounded, the one with more people in the confrontation on the field was facing a great enemy. The four paladins stared at the two people who were still chatting and laughing in the encirclement, fearing that another surprise attack would turn the advantage of numbers on the field into a shame and topic of conversation off the field later.
The 2V2 confrontation that was decided in less than 30 seconds just now made the paladins put away their contempt. Such an easy defeat made these elite men from the Grey Knights no longer blindly proud and confident.
"Can I use psychic energy?" This was the first time that Amonks spoke on the field. He was a dull man who only used language when it was most needed.
"Can I?" Gavins asked Calvin with his eyes.
"Of course, we also need to know the limit of the anti-interference ability of this psychic channel. But weapon enchantment is an exception, if you don't want to kill me and Gavin." Calvin replied with a smile.
"Then I have no problem." The last person on the field, also the deputy captain of the guard, Gold patted his chest.
"Can I?" 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 psychic communication channel is placed in the middle of the forehead, which is so sensitive, and most of the psychic initiation process is transferred from here to the eyes and finally released.
"Okay, let's start." Gavins, who got the confirmation, turned his head and continued to look at the opponent in front of him, shaking the double-wielded scimitars in his hands and said.
Calvin behind him, after receiving the look that indicated the start of the confrontation, put his hands together and shouted: "The Holy Kara is contacting you and me!..."
Okay, the above sentence is purely imaginary.
The real situation is that Calvin did not make any big moves. He just called the silver sun in the spiritual world between breaths and opened the permission of the psychic communication channel. Gavins, who had been anchored by Calvin in advance, just silently recited Calvin's name in his heart, and the psychic signal between them was instantly established in a time shorter than a breath.
This process is like the relationship between a server and a data terminal that has signed a data agreement in advance.
Gavins's thoughts and vision are transmitted to Calvin's brain in real time, and Calvin's role is to complete efficient information communication with him while bearing this external thought and passing the results back.
The whole set of work processes is not complicated, but if Calvin wants to use this set of things that are more like a command system than a skill in a larger scope, then how to ensure the smooth flow of thought information while "multiple people online" will be a problem he cannot avoid.
But in this "local area network" with only two people, Calvin only had to "turn on the computer".
The battle alarm was also sounded at the same time: after the two people's thoughts were connected, they came to the same answer:
"Turn! Only by turning can we give full play to the advantages of the two!"
After millisecond-level communication, the two people ignored the opponent on the flank and launched a powerful jump and chop towards the enemy in front.
When the opponent hurriedly used all his strength to parry, and followed his rich combat experience, always ready to support his teammates on the flank in time after being deceived, they blatantly discovered that not only the opponent's first round of jump and chop was a fake move, but also the opponent's back jump was also a fake move! .
Calvin and Gavins were back to back and without any communication, and they used the first round of attacks to distance themselves from the opponent in front of them, and then they continued to rush to Gold on Gavins' left and launched a death spin consisting of two people and four scimitars!
They are all Astartes, all superhuman warriors who have undergone many transformations!
If the target of such a powerful and fast attack were a mortal, the latter would probably be shattered to pieces on the spot before he could even 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, he is not qualitatively different!
Faced with such an attack that could not be solved by dodging, the blood of the veteran made him decide not to retreat. He wanted to fight for the remaining three comrades who were striding over!
Since death is already doomed, how to maximize the value of a qualified Emperor's gold coin is the last thought of this veteran.
Gold did not hesitate. He could not leave the attack range of the other duo after two steps back. He immediately stopped retreating. He held his head high and looked straight at the false but real death, holding the halberd in his hands high and slashing forward.
Death, yes. But even if he dies, the direction 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 were grateful for such behavior.
Such a mutually-destroying fighting style may not be suitable for the internal competition among comrades. But isn't the original purpose of this skill experiment to simulate the most cruel situation on the battlefield?
If such a mutually-destroying fighting style cannot be dealt with, then what practical significance does it have? And if Gold made such a choice on the battlefield, who would he protect with his life?
Calvin and Gavins were full of respect for Gold's choice, but since he was an opponent, the best way to respect him was to give him a decent exit!
The high-speed rotation of the two was like one person operating two bodies, and under Gold's full-strength slashing, they separated and merged smoothly like flowing water.
Gold, who had exhausted his strength and had no chance to dodge, could only watch Gavins, who turned around and left, and Calvin, who followed closely, calmly slashed with a knife, splitting the necklace on Gold's helmet into two.
At this time, the three people who arrived late also stopped when they saw this.
In the absence of a surprise attack and with twice as many people, the short time for the casualties to occur is enough to explain too many facts.
Such communication efficiency is far higher than the maximum efficiency that can be achieved by language in the electronic communication channel in the power armor, and the real-time battle vision sharing between each other is not comparable to the tactical command vision that only a few commanders can have.
Since the advantages and disadvantages are so clear, the remaining question is how many people can Calvin, the inventor and initiator of this new system, maintain online at the same time?
And can such a tactical system that relies on Calvin's psychic power resist all kinds of external interference in real battles in the future?
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.
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 a problem that they cannot avoid if they still want to serve the Emperor.
"Emperor, are we, your humble servants, really that old?" The paladins on and off the field all had the same thought in their minds.
