A disruption field?!
The reason why power weapons such as power spears and power swords had such terrifying, unstoppable destructive power was because of the disruption field at the blade.
After pressing the button to activate the disruption field, the blade of the weapon could cut through all encountered armor, human tissue, and daemons like a hot knife through butter.
But definitely not cutting a legion comrade in half.
But in front of everyone, Kasjia had pressed that button on the Phoenix power spear.
You... you actually activated the disruption field in a duel within the legion?!
Abdemon was shocked, and continued to retreat.
He didn't understand why the other party was doing this.
But with his flexible footwork, he had now put a distance of five or six meters between himself and Kasjia.
So what's the use of activating the disruption field now?
Wait!
In his urgency, Abdemon seemed to have noticed something else.
This wasn't a disruption field, his Phoenix power spear had two buttons!
Could that be a bolter launcher?
Abdemon thought of the Custodian's Guardian Spear.
But this Phoenix spear didn't have a bolter barrel, so where would the bolts come from?
Then what was this button for—
SHINK!
And then, all he saw was a purple-and-gold spearhead emitting a faint cold light.
The match was over.
The tip of Kasjia's Phoenix spear had stopped right in front of Abdemon's eyes, half an inch away, perfectly centered.
If this were a real life-and-death battle, when the power spear's disruption field was activated, this one strike would have been enough to completely annihilate his head.
[This match, Kasjia Sherlock, is victorious.]
However, Abdemon did not seem to accept this result.
"Kasjia, what on earth is that weapon?"
"This is a boarding shield. My wife Fulgrim made it for me. Isn't it beautiful?"
"Who asked you about that! I'm asking about the thing in your right hand!"
"This? A Phoenix spear."
"A Phoenix spear? Does our Third Legion have such a Phoenix spear!?"
"Of course."
Kasjia, perhaps seeing that the other's face was not looking too good, quickly added, "It's just a little bit longer."
Indeed.
He held up the Phoenix-long-long-long-long-spear in his hand.
Nearly ten meters long, it far exceeded his height.
"See? It can also be retracted."
As he spoke, he pressed the button again.
The Phoenix-long-long-long-long-spear instantly returned to its 3-meter-long Phoenix spear form.
"See? Very useful."
Kasjia demonstrated it again.
The moment he thrust, he pressed the button, and the Phoenix spear instantly extended by nearly ten meters, and then quickly retracted.
A retractable Phoenix power spear.
Its strike range far exceeded that of other power weapons of the same type.
Very useful.
Close combat.
Refers to fighting with an enemy unit at close range.
Then it is clear that a power spear that can extend and retract the length of its shaft is naturally also a close combat weapon.
But in the 30K era, with ranged firearms, what's the use of this thing?
Why not learn from the Custodian's Guardian Spear and install a bolter at the top? Isn't that simpler?
Of course it's useful!
Apart from the element of surprise, the main reason Kasjia had developed this thing was to support the future.
In the Great Betrayal, the biggest difficulty in resisting the daemon armies of Chaos was their powerful ranged damage reduction.
Ranged damage reduction, huh?
Eh!
Then I'll just make the power spear a little bit longer, make it retractable, and that's it, right?
Anyway, the damage is from the disruption field at the tip of the spear, and it doesn't need to rely on torque to increase the impact.
Close combat, is it such an inconvenient thing?
Kasjia could already imagine the scene of the great daemon of Khorne stamping his feet in anger in the future when faced with this "close combat" attack.
Insidious!
So insidious!
He was even more insidious than the Cursed One (Old Man Gold)!
Besides.
As a sword saint, shouldn't it be common sense to switch to a very, very long spear in actual combat?
The little brothers of the 30K era are really...
...sigh, so straightforward.
They call you a sword saint, and you really go into battle with a short sword?
"You—!"
"Calm down, Abdemon, calm down!"
Abdemon, who had walked out of the duel cage, his face was also as red as if it had been painted.
But his familiar comrades held him back.
This time, it was Commander Eidolon's turn to gloat.
"Kasjia's win was completely in accordance with the rules of the duel."
Modifying a simple retractable device on the shaft of a power spear was not some heinous act of blasphemy.
The rules of the duel did not restrict the length of melee weapons.
And no one had ever expected that some extraordinary individual would enter the duel arena with a retractable power weapon.
Kasjia's victory was completely reasonable.
Even the Mechanicum Magos, who served as the witness, could not find any fault with Kasjia's victory.
"Alright, alright."
"You win, Kasjia. You defeated me in a duel."
Abdemon, accompanied by the watching Primarch and the other Emperor's Children, walked out of the Ural large forge.
Admitting his own defeat was indeed a very bitter thing.
Especially when the other party was clearly not as good as him.
But he just won.
Not only did he win, but he also defeated all three of their Lord Commanders.
"Lord Commander Kasjia, congratulations on becoming the First Lord Commander of the Emperor's Children," the Mechanicum Magos congratulated.
And among the Emperor's Children, there was an old, conventional rule: as a subordinate officer, one must take one's superior as a model in all things.
And unconditionally obey the superior's arrangements.
This also led to the final "the fish rots from the head down" situation for the Emperor's Children, which led them to fall into the clutches of Chaos.
This was something Kasjia would definitely be the first to reform after becoming the First Lord Commander.
"Congratulations, Lord Kasjia. But I still have some questions that need to be answered."
"Ask away, Abdemon. This is not a time of war. We can speak as equals."
"In the duel just now, did you already have a plan for the overall situation?"
"Were you just waiting for me to become impatient before you attacked me?"
The shield defense had made him, Abdemon, grow impatient.
Impatience leads to impulsiveness, and impulsiveness exposes flaws.
In comparison, Kasjia was more like a seasoned hunter.
First, show weakness to the enemy, making them proud, and then wait for them to reveal a flaw before delivering the fatal blow.
After reflection and review, Commander Abdemon felt that he had been thoroughly convinced of his defeat.
"No."
"It was just more fun to see you get angry."
Abdemon began to have some doubts.
Was it really a wise decision to have Kasjia as the sole First Lord Commander of the Emperor's Children's future?
"Interesting."
Ferris looked at Kasjia, who was talking with Abdemon and demonstrating his amazing little invention, and showed a knowing smile.
Such a flexible mind.
He is indeed an indispensable genius for the Iron Hands.
Kasjia's development of this retractable power weapon was a small modification, but it was extremely useful.
In ancient times, when everyone was still fighting with knives, spears, and short swords, both the East and the West had independently evolved the long spear infantry phalanx as the ultimate solution for the infantry age.
An inch longer is an inch stronger.
With the not-so-expensive retractable spear shaft, Kasjia could greatly increase the strike range of power weapons, thereby preventing the enemy from getting close to engage in close combat.
"Sister Ferris, I'm afraid if you keep looking, you're going to declare that he's a member of your Iron Hands."
Fulgrim waved her hand in front of her with displeasure.
"Can't I?"
"Of course—not."
"The Second Company, led by our Emperor's Children's Arcur Tona, will be participating in an exchange and study program with the Iron Hands in the Great Crusade."
"But as for Kasjia... forgive my selfishness, but from now on, he can only stay in the Emperor's Children's fleet and cannot leave my side for a moment."
"Such strong gravity," Ferris smiled. "Then I'll go and ask him. See if he agrees."
"Go ahead."
Fulgrim was very confident about this.
She would never believe that Kasjia would agree to Ferris's invitation, abandon her and the Emperor's Children, and go with her to the Iron Hands expeditionary fleet!
After all, they had the bond of the thirty-year Sagittarius golden ring.
Kasjia agreed.
Abdemon: "You won. Your fighting style is niche and unique."
