Even before making a move, Lann had tried his best to overestimate Bordeaux’s strength, but he still had to admit the greatness of his mentor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However...the result will not change because of that!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The determination in the young man’s eyes was as solid as rock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He is the only one wanted, there is no conflict between us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With one sentence, Lann awakened the bewildered Long Halberd Soldiers amidst the chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the change in the battlefield and the powerful Demon Hunter, he had no choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He followed Lann with his halberd in hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A powerful enemy is the guarantee of forming alliances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lann’s throw is not to be underestimated; even though he is still in a state of hunger and weakness, and he just circled around with seventeen Plague Ghosts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was a Longsword thrown by a Demon Hunter after all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bordeaux’s bear-like charging figure staggered as it was hit head-on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the old Demon Hunter’s experience and agility were terrifyingly strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bordeaux did not fall because of this sudden impact; on the contrary, he raised his arms drastically, gripping the sword with both hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He completely gave up the defense of the torso, raising the exquisite Bear School Steel Sword over his head!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With forward-leaning gravity, power, and weight, all pressed onto the blade!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furious downward slash!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ha!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sword and Shield Soldier in front of him was almost scared silly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bordeaux’s towering figure cast a heavy shadow on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could only let go of his One-Handed Sword, brace both hands behind the half-shield, gritting his teeth and leaning towards the sword blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was indeed a seasoned Sword and Shield Soldier;

this move is professionally known as \"dragging cut.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the screeching sound of armor metal, the shoulder of the Sword and Shield Soldier was completely removed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The already flowing blood had now turned into a \"jet\" state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bordeaux not only aimed to completely eliminate a threat, but also hoped to intimidate other enemies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was very effective.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After severing the Law Enforcement Captain’s shoulder, two incoming arrows were easily deflected by his left wrist guards with the softness of longbows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Crossbow Arrow remained strong but lost its aim, only leaving a white trace on the armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This intimidating effect caused a psychological shock to the enemies in that instant, effective only during this round of shooting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterward, these professional soldiers would quickly adjust their mentality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what Bordeaux wanted was only this period of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because... he had to face his student.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly turning around, with indifferent and resolute eyes crossing paths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both understood —the other’s killing intent was firm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lann, holding only a hunting knife, charged ahead directly facing the mentor’s killing intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The terrifying killing intent cultivated from hunting countless monsters and the fresh blood on the beard from just cutting off a human arm still remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now Bordeaux’s image, even if painted on a church as a \"foe of the gods,\" would be fitting!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in front of this terrifying scene, Lann’s steps remained steady.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Bear School Steel Sword had already begun to tremble lightly before the swing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lann’s hunting knife guarded his chest, but this was a meaningless move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter the power, reach, blade length, or sword quality, comparing from all aspects, he had no chance of resisting Bordeaux.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even surviving under this sword strike seemed impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His swordsmanship, compared to Bordeaux, was crude like juggling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe in the next moment, the crude cotton armor would be directly split into two with his body!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t have to compare Swordsmanship.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lann revealed a smile to Bordeaux for the first time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man’s cat eyes even gently contracted because of this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next moment, Lann, running, directly sidestepped and pulled out —a section of a Long Halberd blade!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Long Halberd was carried by the soldier, and he was charging, following Lann.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now, the trajectory of the halberd thrust was corrected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wide halberd blade pointed straight at Bordeaux’s torso.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Lann agilely ducked down during the sprint, the dagger and hand reaching towards his mentor’s waist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was Bordeaux’s alchemy pouch.\u003C\u002Fp>",1381,"2026-06-06T10:40:07.661Z",1,"novelbin.me","2b8d41a508cda8f4d259eeebf32ddf0e61db983951a436abb4152a7cc30e5a7d","bear-school-astartes-chapter-62","bear-school-astartes-chapter-61",1043,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbear-school-astartes-cover.jpg"]
