Biomedical Engineer and Martial Arts experts Geoff Desmoulin will analyze how fast and precise each blow is delivered.
"Both The Centurion and The Mongol where great conquerors in their day. It will be interesting to see how they match up against the other and how deadly their weapons are." Geoff says giving details.
ER and Medical Doctor Armand Dorian will bring in his equipment to see how much each warrior can inflict on the other.
"In this fight we have two warriors who where skilled individually and in a group. The Centurion commanded a group while the Mongols where known for fighting on Horseback along with others. Each of them where skilled in whatever area they needed to be in." The Doctor says giving his thoughts.
Computer whiz Max Geiger will input the data given by each warrior's weapons into a super computer developed by Slitherine Studios.
"Both the Centurion and the Mongol have never meet in battle before until this day. Once all the data has been put in where going to see if they fought who would be the victor."
Once the data has been inputted the computer will simulate one thousand battles between them, winner shall be the Deadliest Warrior.
We then see and hear from the experts for both the Centurion and The Mongol.
The Roman Centurions served as a symbol of order and respect in the Roman Army. Only the toughest and most elite fighters could be one. They lead the Units that served as the Foundation and frontlines of the Roman empire. One that stretched as far as parts of the Middle East. Hardened Disciplined troops they stopped at nothing for the glory of Rome.
"The Roman Centurion was a warrior with nearly ten to twenty years of experience in the army. He was the best of the best and lead his groups of Eighty men and lead them to battle and glory for the Roman Empire." Terence Rotolo a Roman Combat Specialist says as he looks over a Gladius. "They where the elite core and helped lead Rome to becoming the Greatest Empire history has ever known."

The Centurion's commands helped lead his men to several victories and conquest as Rome expanded
"When it comes to the Centurions the Mongols don't stand a chance." Matt Lasky a Weapons Historian says as he looks over a Pilum. "The Roman Empire lasted for almost a Thousand Years and any territory or land they wanted, they conquered. The Mongols, theirs is a drop in the bucket compared to what the Romans had."
We see the Centurion with his men attacking a Greek City and slaying all who stood in their path.
"He was charged with drilling his men and turning them into perfect soldiers that would serve Rome. When The Mongol faces him he will be crushed and killed just like any other enemy that dared stood in Rome's path."
The Centurion stabs an enemy with his Gladius and then decks another enemy with his shield.
But for our Mongol Experts they believe The Khan will prevail.
"The Mongols where without any question the greatest conquerors the world has ever seen." Munkthur Luvsanjambaa A Native Mongolian Historian says as he examines a Glaive. "Any who stood against the Kahn would fall and fall hard and the same will go for the Centurions. They only had one goal, and that was the destruction of their enemies and conquering everything in the known world."
Lead by Genghis Khan The Mongols began a conquest that become the mightiest Empire in history. One that stretched from The Pacific all the way to the borders of Eastern Europe. The greatest and largest ever known to man. They where feared worldwide as with their cavalry and Horse Archers they would encircle and separate their enemies and pick them off with their arrows.
We see the Great ruler of the Khan clan ordering his troops to attack a village and watching as his men rout the enemy forces.
"With The Mongols they would separate and breakup enemy formations, cut opposing armies in half and then pick them apart at their leisure." Jason Nguyen a Combat Expert says looking over a Mace. "And at the end of the battle they would spare one and tell them to go and tell their land's rulers that either they would submit to the rule of the Khan or face total annihilation at the Mongols hands."
The Mongols where fierce and fought as Lions showing no mercy to anyone who stood in their way. It is estimated that Forty Million casualties where had at the Mongol conquests.
We see a Mongols stabbing with his Glaive and then smashing his Iron Flanged Mace into the ribcage of an enemy.
"The Mongols would create panic, encircle their enemies, cut them off from their comrades and install fear in them as they'd massacre them. The Centurion stands no chance against this conqueror who will not rest until everything has been conquered."
A Mongol is shown decapitating his enemy's head with his IId sword and celebrating with his other comrades.
So who would win in a one on one battle between two of history's greatest conquerors? For that our experts are divided.
"I have to go with The Mongols on this one. When I think of a Mongol I'm thinking of a warrior on horseback with his bow aimed at me ready to take my head off. The Mongols where feared horsemen in their day and that is part of the reason they succeeded in conquering half the world." Geoff Desmoulin says giving his pick to the Eastern Warrior.
"For me I'm going with the Centurion for the fact that they created the longest reigning empire. You don't get an Empire that lasts a Thousand years without some pretty good warriors." Max Geiger says giving his thoughts on his pick.
To find out who will win, we are testing four Centurion and four Mongol weapons.
The Centurion carries into battle the…
Gladius
Pilum
Scorpion Crossbow
And Dolabra
The Mongols will counter attack with the…
Iron Flanged Mace
Glaive
Mongol Bow and Arrow
And IId Sword…
First up in Special weapons the Centurions brought in the Dolabra
"This is the Dolabra, perfect cutting, hacking, denting armor and killing." Terence Rotolo says as he shows it to them. "A perfect weapon for getting through just about anything."
"Alright let's test it out." Geoff says and he stands before a gel torse with the same density that of human flesh and also wearing the armor the Mongols wear as well.
When Geoff gives the signal he attacks cutting off the arm of the torso with a swing and then switching to the pick side and slamming it right into the leather armor penetrating it. He then goes and hits it right into the head taking off most of its face.
"Okay its obvious that this is a deadly weapon. You managed to cut off the left arm with one swing and look at this hole in the armor, straight through it and into the chest. I'm not even going to go into the head as this guys dead." Dr. Dorian says assessing the damage.
"This is made to go through plated armor, leather is nothing against this." Terence says as he holds up the Dolabra.
The Mongols however weren't impressed.
"It's a two handed weapon, if you miss with a swing with that I'll gladly take your head off with the IId." Munkthur says not buying it.
To back up his claim he takes his sword and stands before a pig carcass. When given the command he attacks and cuts into it with slashes and slices tearing off shreds of skin with it.
"You've completely disemboweled this pig, and you where quick with it. I got about under half a second with each swing." Geoff Desmoulin says as they look at it.
"You might be faster but the Centurions are wearing chain mail, designed to stab slashing weapons. While you're busy dancing around doing no damage to us where crowning you with our Dolabra with one swing." Matt Lasky says not impressed with it.
So who has the edge in special weapons?
"The IId is quick however we know that chain mail does a good job of stopping slashing weapons. With the Dolabra it's one hit one kill." Dr. Dorian says to them.
"I agree, I'm going to back the Axe on this one." Max Geiger says as well.
The Dolabra outdoes the IId Sword in special weapons
Edge Centurion
In short range weapons The Centurions showed us the Gladius
"This was designed to keep your enemies at bay and be able to strike them anywhere. In the leg, in the arm, in the thigh in the groin, anywhere you can reach with it, you can strike." Terence says shows as he demonstrates different stabs.
To back up his claim he takes aim at a beef carcass which would be a charging enemy. The cow is released and he stops it with his shield and then stabs it three different times with it. When the damage is examined he has delivered kills to it and damaged parts of the body.
The Mongols however weren't as impressed.
"That's only good for stabbing and it's two dimensional, our Iron Flanged Mace can destroy anything in its path." Jason Nguyen says.
And the Mongols countered with the Iron Flanged Mace.
"This could be used for any part of the body, it can break arms, crush skulls, shatter ribs and annihilate anyone in its path." He says as he stands before three targets. Two skulls and one a gellistic skull wearing a centurion helmet.
On the count of three he brings it up and shatters the first skull with one swing. He then gives a yell and shatters the other one as well. He then winds up and smashes the helmet wearing one and leaves a heavy dent in it. He then attacks again and smashes the helmet leaving it crushed.
"You've heard the phrase Bull in a China shop? Well that's what we got here, everything has been destroyed. Not even the helmet stood up to its blunt power that it has. With that weapon, no body part is safe." Geoff Desmoulin says as they examine the damage. Dr. Dorian removes the helmet and the damage is severe to the gel head.
"Yeah well it's nice but I don't think he can get past our shield and armor. Plus it takes time to wind up for a strike." Matt says looking over it.
"This in the hands of a Mongol is a weapon of Mass Destruction, this can break any body part with no problem whatsoever." Jason says as he holds it up.
For the edge in Short Range our experts are divided
"The Mace did far more damage than I thought it would. That thing scares me as you could wreck a house with that thing." Geoff says as they examined the results.
"True but you gotta take in the fact that the Gladius can reach and hit in places without exposing yourself to danger while under a shield for me the edge goes to the Gladius." Dr. Dorian says.
"I respectfully disagree doctor, we have seen weapons before but very few can do the damage that the Mace can." Max Geiger says disagreeing with him.
In Short range The Iron Flanged Mace takes it for the Mongols
Edge Mongols
For Medium Range The Mongols brought out the Glaive.
"This is eight feet of thrusting power, you can keep your enemies away with this and also you can kill a horse with this thing. Infantry would use this against enemy cavalier to quickly take away their advantage. In the hands of a Mongol this is a devastating weapon." Munkthur Luvsanjambaa
"Alright you say you can kill a horse with it? Well let's see if you can back that up, if you can do that you can definitively kill a man." Geoff says. Jason nods and takes the weapon
Setting up a Horse beef carcass he stands ready. At the count of three the beef is let loose and it glides and when it reaches him he thrusts the blade and pierces right through it with the glaive.
"I thought you where bull shitting on that one but you did it, you went right through this thing like it was butter." Max Geiger says as they examine the damage.
"A clear clean shot, if this was a horse you probably would've killed it. Knowing that thing can kill a horse it can also easily kill a man with it." Dr. Dorian added as well.
"First of all there's two things to consider, one Centurions don't ride into battle on horseback very often and second our Pilum can easily go right through you while you're trying to keep us away with that overgrown spear." Matt Lansky says not impressed as he shows the Pilum javelin.
To back up his claim Matt takes aim at three body bags and one ballistics gel torso wearing leather armor.
Taking the first one he takes aim and throws and pierces into the body bag easily. He then gets the second one and throws into the second one. Getting a third one he does it again going right through it with ease. Finally he takes aim at the gel torso and throws and hits it in the chest part of it going in.
"Okay let's see here." Dr. Dorian says as he looks at the damage. "These three are kill shots easily as you went right through them and out the other side. But let's take a look at the gel torso." He pulls out the Pilum and examines the wound. "It's not a kill although it did penetrate. This might knock the Mongol down and disorient him for a few seconds putting him out of the fight."
So who has the edge in Medium range?
"I like the glaive as it was able to go through a horse but the Pilum impressed me with his length and how far it can go. You don't have to worry about staying out of the Glaive's range if you can take your enemy from afar." Max Geiger says giving his thoughts.
"I agree edge to the Pilum." Geoff says as well
The Pilum gets the edge
Edge Centurion
Finally for long range weapons The Scorpion crossbow and the Mongol Bow and Arrow where tested.
"Okay where having two tests." Geoff says as they are outside and behind them are targets set up. "Matt you will be using the Scorpion while Munkthur you be using you're bow and arrow on horseback. You each will have fifty seconds to fire at the targets and hit as many as you can. Matt you're going to go first."
Standing ready he is given the command to go and he fires the Scorpion crossbow and it hit's a target. He then reloads and it takes him twenty seconds to reload. He fires again and hits and reloads once more and hits another one. He reloads and gets off one more shot just before time expired but he missed that one.
"Okay, three out of four, these three hits are kills but the loading time is quite a while." Geoff says as they examine it. "Munkthur are you ready?" He asks and he gives a reply.
Munkthur is then told to go and riding across on his horse he fires an arrow and hit's a target. He then gets a second one out and fires hitting it. He turns his horse around and lets loose another set of arrows but one of them missed. He repeats the process again as he is hitting the targets much faster.
After fifty seconds has passed the damage is examined.
"Nice shooting here, you got all the targets and you only missed twice."
"The Mongols where feared for their horse archers, and this shows why. The Centurion will be dead before the battle even begins." Munkthur says as he dismounts from the horse.
Our experts then decide who has the range in long range.
"Gotta go with the Mongolian Bow and Arrow on this one. That thing is devastating and efficient while the Scorpion takes far too long to reload." Geoff says to the others.
"Agreed, with the speed and accuracy he had, I think The Mongols bow and arrow will be the deciding factor in this fight." Max says agreeing
"I agree as well so it's unanimous." Dr. Dorian says as well.
For Long Range the Mongol Bow and Arrow takes it.
Edge Mongol

The Battle
A Roman Centurion is shown first as the setting is in an ancient city that looks as if he had seen battle just recently. He is loading and aiming a Scorpion Crossbow preparing to fire it.
The Mongul is then seen on horseback looking around the stone city as he carries his bow and arrow as he directs his horse through the place a cautious look on his face.
The Centurion hears footsteps and readies the Scorpion Crossbow preparing to fire the moment he sees his enemy.
The horse riding Warrior comes across a pathway when suddenly an arrow flies at him and hit's the wall narrowly missing his head. He turns and sees the Centurion who missed his shot when he fired the Scorpion.
The Mongol lets out a war cry challenge and the Centurion grabs his Gladius and Shield and runs away. The Mongol kicks his horse into a run and he gallops after the fleeing Roman. He notches an arrow and lets it fly and The Centurion turns and blocks it with his shield. The Mongol races past him on his horse and fires another arrow hitting him in the shoulder but not doing any serious damage.
Pulling the arrow out with a grunt the Centurion runs is encircled by the Mongol who fires another arrow but it is stopped by his shield. As the Mongol nears him he gets out a Pilum and waiting for the precise moment launches it and hits him knocking the Mongol off his horse and onto the ground stunning him.
The Mongol pulls the Pilum out of his armor as it hurt him but didn't do any fatal damage. He gets to his horse and gets out his Glaive and thrusts it at the Centurion who dodges the weapon. He blocks with his shield and goes to hit him in the leg but the Mongol dodges it and slashes at him hitting him in the shoulder drawing a cut of blood.
The Centurion dodges the next swing and cuts the head of the weapon off rendering it useless. The Mongol responds by pulling out his IId Sword and does a series of slashes and attacks him. The Centurion dodges his attacks with his shield and stabs at him by misses. The swords meet in a clash of steel and the Mongol manages to disarm him by knocking it out of his hands. He goes for his head by the Centurion ducks under his shield to avoid it. The Mongol kicks him hard in the shield knocking him down and the Roman reaches towards his belt and unhooks his Dolabra. He blocks a strike with it and kicks him away with one leg allowing him to get back up.
The Mongol slashes at him with his sword but it is blocked by it and The Centurion counters by hitting him in the arm with the pick end of his weapon. The Mongol yells in pain and clutches his wounded arm. He ducks an overhead chop and retreats back to his horse with the Centurion in pursuit.
He makes it to his horse and discarding the IId gets out his Iron Flanged Mace. He turns and swings at the Centurion who avoids getting his skull crushed. The Centurion swings his Dolabra at him but misses as well as the Mongol goes to a different spot and the Centurion chases after him.
The Mongol stops and blocks his swing as the two warriors are in a test of strength. The Centurion overpowers him and kicks him in the stomach knocking him back. He goes for a chop aimed at his neck but the Mongol dodges and hits him in the stomach with his Mace. The Centurion clutches his side in pain as that broke a couple of ribs.
The Mongol attacks again he is blocked and then pushed back towards a stone wall. The Mongol moves and sidesteps him causing the Centurion's weapon to hit the wall instead. The Mongol quickly counters by slamming his mace into the Centurion's knee.
The Centurion howls loudly in pain and falls down clutching his broken knee as you can see the femur sticking out. The Mongol stands over him and lifting his weapon up lets out a war cry and smashes it into his helmeted head. The Centurions skull is crushed by the impact of the mace killing him.
Seeing his enemy dead the Mongol raises his weapon into the air and lets out a victory cry to the heavens.

Dolabra: 227
Gladius: 90
Pilum: 104

At the fight club we hear from our experts.
"I'm not surprised at the outcome, given the Mongols efficiency and power with the bow and arrow I had a feeling he was going to win." Geoff Desmoulin says giving his thoughts on it.
"So what the Mongols won this battle? Enjoy it while you can" Terence Rotolo says. "The Romans still had the longest reigning Empire ever in history."
"I knew we where going to win without a question of the doubt." Munkthur Luvsanjambaa says seated down. "The Mongols conquered over half the world in their prime, and if they had stayed in their prime, they would've conquered the other half just as well."
The Mongol is shown on his horse on the plains of Mongolia and the warrior thrusts his Glaive into the air and yells to the heavens.
A/N: That's it for this fight. Review please.
