A/N: I've seen the Telmarines in the film used swords that look kinda like rapiers, so even if it isn't technically a rapier I'm still calling it a rapier.

''Today we have ourselves a first medieval type battle when we have two of fictions famed conquering warriors face off when the Narnia's ruthless pirate the Telmarine goes up against the top notch fighting force of Skyrim, the Imperial Legion.'' DeadAliveManiac started off with a hint of excitement.
''This is going to be a good battle as we're bringing in swords, polearms and steel blades. Both warriors are hardwired for war and the subtle differences in their weapons and and armor will prove the deciding factor on who wins and dies.'' Zivon96 explained.
''I have to agree, two ruthless conquering warriors who were also well trained and had lots of discipline. They also wore some heavy armor which will also play a role in the final outcome.'' MKDemiGodzilla-Warrior said excitedly.
''For the first time in this fictional version of our Deadliest Warrior we're bringing in two of fictions best conquering warriors. We're gonna see swords, arrows, and some of the heaviest sets of steel armor. Let's see which one will conquer the other so let's get this started.'' Its Rice Man concluded.
Telmarines invaded Narnia six hundred years after the Pevensies, or the two kings and two queens, left Narnia while on a hunt. With its royalty in pieces and its inhabitants in chaos, the Telmarines quickly took over and became the dominant race for four-hundred years. Telmarines used organized formations, powerful armor, and the all-too-destructive catapult to completely annihilate Cair Paravell, eliminating the proof that Narnia once had mighty kings and queens.
''They won due to their better armor that could not be pierced by the Narnians, deadlier weapons and they beat back the competition with their sheer numbers and weapons. The Imperial Legionary will have to both physically and mentally prepare himself for this new threat.'' Rice Man explained.
The ruthless pirate came armed with an arsenal that allowed him to defeat and rule Narnia.
Short Range: Telmar Saber
Mid-Range: Halberd
Long Range: Crossbow
Special: Rapier
But today, the pirate will confront a highly disciplined and deadly foe who created the largest empire in the history of Tamriel.
Once the strongest fighting forces in Tamriel, the Imperial Legion has been reduced to a mere shadow of its former self by the time of the events of Skyrim. With the near annihilation of the Blades and the emergence of the Aldmeri Dominion as a military power, many view the Legion as corrupt and decaying. However, they moved their empire into the Fourth Age only to become in involved in the Skyrim Civil Wars fighting the likes of the stormcloaks and Alduin, the Nordic God of destruction.
''While they did suffer great casualties they still emerged victorious. When you join them, you join and fight for the most elite warriors. Let's see what happens when he faces the Telmarine who is a ruthless foe.'' Rice Man explained.
The Imperial Legionary used a finely crafted arsenal of deadly metal weapons to defeat his foes.
Short Range: Imperial Sword
Mid-Range: Steel War Hammer
Long Range: Imperial Bow
Special: Steel Dagger
When both conquerors rushed into battle against their foes, they utilized the finest steel blades made specifically for them. Up first will be the Telmarine with a weapon that helped him conquer Narnia.
''The Telmar saber was a common infantry weapon used by the Telmarines. It was made of steel and had a blade that measured over 3 feet in length and weighed 3 pounds.'' Prince Caspian, the rightful Telmarine king explained holding his blade high for the panel to see.
''It looks a lot like the real life Pirate's cutlass and to test that out we have a dummy here clad in the armor of the Imperial legionary. We will give you 15 seconds to see what kind of damage you can do the this guy understood?'' DAM said pointing toward the set up.
Caspian nods in understanding and gets into position and awaits DAM's count.
''Okay Caspian, on 3...2...1...cut em up!'' DAM called out.
With a war cry, Caspian brings the saber down onto the helmet of the legionary with a loud 'clang'. A dent was seen on the helmet and the target rocked slightly from the blow. Undeterred the Telmarine king swings the saber at the at the cuirass as hard as he could with another resounding 'clang' leaving only a dent. Even more frustrated he takes a hard diagonal swing to the shield only chipping the edge. Growling in frustration he pulls the helmet off and swings his saber and decapitates the target just as DAM called time.
Zivon then makes his way over to assess the damage.
''Well, I don't think I have to explain what happened with the armor shots. Your strike to the helmet only left a dent and judging from the readings we got it might give him a concussion which would leave him dazed and open to more attacks. The same can be said for the cuirass, you're probably breaking at least one rib. The shield did not take significant damage and only saw chip damage but the icing on the cake is that you got a full on decapitation for an instant kill.'' explained the good doctor.
Imperial legionary General Tullius shook his head, he had a confident smirk on his face with how the armor protected the dummy.
''Wow you really struggled with the armored portions but going around the helmet for the decapitation was smart.'' Rice Man commented.
''I am sure this sword will do well against a bare-chested barbarian, my weapon however will leave you bloodied and limbless on the ground.''
The Imperial legionary responds to the saber's assault with his standard issue blade.
''The Imperial sword was the right hand of the Imperial legion. It was made of high quality Imperial steel with a weight of almost 2 pounds and a blade that was almost 2 feet in length. Very good for thrusting and taking a few limbs off.'' Tullius explained.
''In that case it is the same test for you Tullius, a target clad in the Telmarine's armor and shield. Much like Caspian you will have 15 seconds to see what kind of damage you'll get.'' Demigod explained.
''I understand.'' Tullius said as he gets into position.
''Alright Tullius on my go. 3...2...1...attack!'' DAM called out.
''FOR CYRODIIL!'' Tullius yelled at the top of his lungs.
With a powerful thrust he jabs the sword into the brigandine armor and pulls out leaving a small hole where his blade was. Smirking he then thrusts into the Telmarine shield but the blade only chips the surface of the shield. Though that did not deter him Tullius brings his sword in a powerful downward chop that sends a loud 'clang' throughout the Fight Club before he thrusts the blade into the face of the foam torso just as DAM calls time.
Tullius takes a step back to allow Zivon to gauge the damage done.
''I'm seeing almost similar results with the Telmar saber when it comes to the helmet and the shield but you did manage to pierce through the armor and get almost an inch into the target. Yeah you did penetrate the armor but it isn't enough to touch the skin underneath. The blows to the shield and helmet were not enough to generate force to break anything but he will be dazed from that helmet shot. The thrust into the face is obvious, you pierced into the bottom portion of the brain for an instant kill.''
''Great, we'll do anything to win the battle.'' Tullius chimed.
After testing out these two blades which one does the panel believe take the edge?
''For me this goes to the Imperial legionary's sword for thrusting and slashing capabilities.'' DAM started off.
''That and the armor failure in part of the Telmar saber really shows how ineffective it will be against someone like the legionary. It barely made a scratched the legionary's armor so this goes to the Imperial sword.'' Zivon seconded.
''Imperial sword, even though it is shorter the Telmar saber struggled so bad with the armor.'' Demigod added.
''It's similar to a gladius which is one of the best sword in the real world. It may not pierce the Telmarine's armor enough to kill, but it can still pierce it so it gets the edge.'' Rice Man concluded.
In short range weapons, the edge goes to the Imperial Legionary for his Imperial sword.
Coming up, two deadly polearms come forth when a versatile, armor piercing slayer goes up against a skull smashing hammer.
XXXXXX
Telmarine? Or Imperial Legionary? Two of fiction's deadliest conquering warriors destined for battle.
When these two warriors needed polearms to deal with armored foes they bring in two weapons made to smash, hack and destroy. Up first will be the Imperial Legionary with his skull smashing steel war hammer.
''This is the Imperial legion's war hammer. It wasn't used as much as our sword but this was very good for killing armored opponents. It had a blunt end for smashing and crushing and a pick for piercing clean through armor. It measured over 5 feet long and weighed 5 pounds total.'' Tullius explained proudly.
To test out the power of the steel war hammer our team has set up two torso's. One will be bare while the other will dawn the armor, helmet and shield of the Telmarine.
''Okay Tullius, on my count. 3...2...1...smash it!'' DAM called out.
Letting out a war cry Tullius raises his war hammer high and brings the blunt end onto the first torso's head causing an explosion of blood and bone fragments to fly all over the place much to the awe of the panelists.
''Holy dickcheese that's awesome!'' Rice Man said excitedly.
With his first target dealt with he makes his way over toward the armored torso and uses the pick end to take the shield away. He then raises the weapon high and brings it down as hard as he could with the pick end and the pick penetrates the helmet without difficulty. Tullius goes to free his weapon but struggles for a moment before finally freeing his polearm. He then takes his blunt end and swings it at the brigandine leaving a noticeable dent before taking the pick end and swings it into the armor piercing it.
Zivon then makes his way over to assess the damage.
''I'm not counting the shield since you just pulled it away so I'll be moving forward with the blow to the helmet. You brought that pick end down and managed to penetrate the helmet and as I remove this, I can see that you managed to cut into the skin underneath and change this guy's personality but is it a kill? No he's just hurt. Moving on to the brigandine the blunt end left this big dent in the armor and from the readings we got you struck hard enough to knock the wind out of him and break a rib or two. Not a kill but he's hurt really bad and open to a kill shot which you did with the pick end. You struck deep enough through the armor including the chainmail to hit the aorta for an instant kill.'' Zivon explained.
''I'm not impressed with this weapon simply for the fact that it got stuck in the helmet. With that the Telmarine would have easy pickings with you and impale you with his own polearm.'' Caspian spoke.
The Telmarine brings in his own polearm to counter the steel war hammer, a weapon used in medieval Europe for centuries.
''The halberd was the premiere mid-range weapon and one of the deadliest to be used by the Telmarines. It was a weapon that measured over at 7 feet long and weighing only 5 pounds it had a hook, pike and axe head to let you kill your enemies in more ways than one.'' Caspian explained as he displayed his weapon proudly.
''We're always excited to see a halberd being tested and it will the same for you. One unarmored torso and another in the armor of the Imperial legionary so let's see what you got.'' DAM said pointing toward the target.
''Consider these targets dead.'' Caspian said as he got into position.
Caspian takes the halberd and thrusts the pike end into the throat of the first target going all the way through with it. The sound of the flesh ripping from the pike's piercing making the entire panel cringe. Pulling the pike out he then makes his way over to the armored target and swings the hook end into the helmet of the legionary and manages to pierce it.
''Nice, got through the helmet.'' Demigod commented.
Unlike the war hammer Caspian was able to free the weapon without any trouble whatsoever and takes the pike end and thrusts it into the cuirass getting some penetration much to the satisfaction of the panelists. Smirking to himself he then takes the axe end and swings it as hard as he possibly could striking the cuirass with so much force the target rocked wildly leaving a visible dent. Not satisfied yet he then takes the pike end and thrusts it and manages to pierce through the armor getting half the pike in.
Zivon then makes his way over to assess the damage.
''The first guy is self-explanatory, you thrust the pike through the throat for an instant kill since it severed his spinal cord. So moving on to the armored guy you first attacked the helmet and managed to pierce it with the hook end and while there is penetration of the armor it is enough to cut the skin underneath but not kill. The blow to the cuirass with the axe head yielded enough force to break at least one rib and the pike end did pierce enough to nick the aorta for an instant kill.'' explained the good doctor.
''Unlike the war hammer I was able to free my weapon when the hook end got stuck in the helmet. This would be a way more efficient weapon.'' Caspian spoke.
After testing out both mid-range weapons, which one does our panel believe take the edge?
''No contest here, the halberd takes this all the way. It's much longer and has more options.'' DAM started off.
''Agreed, also it doesn't get stuck when the hook end pierce armor which would've left anyone using it vulnerable.'' Zivon seconded.
''Three options to kill versus two. It's more effective than the war hammer when dealing with armored opponents. I give the halberd my edge.'' Demigod added.
''It has reach, more options and doesn't get stuck. Halberd wins this comparison 10 times out of 10.'' Rice Man concluded.
In mid-range weapons, the edge goes to the Telmarine for his halberd.
Coming up, a deadly crossbow goes up against a deadly and accurate bow.
XXXXXX
Now the time has come for these warriors to bring in their preferred long range weapons. Up first will be the Telmarine with the original sniper rifle used in medieval Europe.
''The crossbow was the weapons used by the Telmarines for long range and cut down many Narnians. It weighed 10 pounds, was over 3 feet in length and was made of wood and steel.'' Caspian explained.
''Excellent we've set up the perfect test for you to see your marksmanship skills.'' DAM said pointing to the set up, ''Here we have 3 targets, 2 are unarmored and the third will be wearing the Legionary's armor. You will have 5 shots.''
''Understood.''
Caspian then made his way over to his firing position and loaded his first bolt and took aim at an unarmored torso. He takes a breath and when he breathes out he tickles the tickler and the bolt goes zooming toward the target hitting it in the neck. He reaches for his next bolt and goes to pull the string back which makes the panel and Tullius raise their eyebrows.
''As usual, I can shit faster than reloading that.'' Rice Man chuckled.
''Yeah.'' DAM said with a slight laugh.
After pulling the string back Caspian loads his bolt and takes aim at the second unarmored target and fires the bolt off, this time it hits the target in the cheek. He loads up his third bolt and takes aim at the armored target and lets the bolt fly straight at the cuirass and strikes it with a 'ding'. Sadly the bolt did not pierce and bounced off harmlessly. Undeterred, Caspian loads his fourth bolt and fires it at the armor again but yet no penetration. Frustrated, he loads his final bolt and fires it at the face of the armored target.
Zivon then made his way over to assess the damage. ''First I'll start with the armored target and for the two body shots I'm sorry to say you did not penetrate the cuirass and did not generate enough force to even break a rib. You're just pissing him off at most. The face shot was a kill though because it's hitting in a spot where you will reach the bottom portion of the brain.'' he then makes his way over to the unarmored targets, ''Moving on to the unarmored guys you struck each of them in a place that would kill them instantly. This one right here has a bolt straight in his throat severing his spinal cord and this one has a bolt in his cheek going straight through the bone and this is another instant kill.''
''I mean, I'm not impressed because look at the time it took him to pull the string back and load another bolt. He'd be full of arrows with my weapon by the time he finishes.'' Tullius interjected.
The Imperial Legionary responds to the Telmarine's powerful crossbow with his own simple and yet, powerful bow.
''This is the bow we used, it was great in terms of accuracy, maneuverability and easier to reload. It was made of steel and wood with a weight of 2 and a half pounds with a length of 3 feet.'' Tullius explained proudly.
''It's a nice looking bow. So it'll be the same test for you Tullius, 5 arrows against 2 unarmored targets and 1 armored target. Think you can peg them?'' DAM asked.
''I will get it done my friend.'' Tullius said before getting into position.
Tullius reaches into his quiver for his first arrow, strings it and takes aim at the armored target and let's the arrow fly. It manages to strike the chainmail portion of the armor and actually manages to penetrate. Nodding in satisfaction the General strings another arrow and fires it straight at the Telmarine's mask but the armor deflects the arrow making Tullius shake his head.
''Tough luck.'' Demigod said.
Stringing his third arrow he takes aim at one of the unarmored targets and fires it straight into its chest and wasted no time in reaching for his fourth arrow and pegs the second target right in the eye before firing his final one into the throat.
Zivon then makes his way over to assess the damage done.
''I'll go ahead and get the obvious stuff out of the way here. The armored portions of this guy yielded no kill shots when we're talking about shots to the armor but you did manage to puncture the chainmail a bit and you're actually cutting the skin a bit. The shot to the mask would've been enough to knock him on his ass but no kill. For the second target you struck him in the chest in a place that'll get the heart for an instant kill. For the third target you pegged him in the eye and the force of the projectile managed to get all the way into the brain for another instant kill, that's gonna hurt bad if he doesn't die right away. Lastly you struck the throat hitting the larynx and spinal cord for another kill shot.''
Now with the long range weapons tests out of the way which one to the panelists believe take the edge?
''I'm siding with the Imperial bow for this one, easier to carry, move around with and faster to reload.'' DAM started off.
''I agree and that fatigue factor of reloading that crossbow might cause the Telmarine the battle. Edge Imperial Legionary.'' Zivon seconded.
''I'm with you two as well. The reload was the biggest factor for me and the crossbow killed it so edge Imperial bow.''
''I hate long reloads like the crossbows. I can literally dump my ass faster! Imperial bow has the speed, flexibility and the reload time.'' Rice Man concluded.
For long range weapons, the edge goes to the Imperial Legionary for his Imperial bow.
Coming up, a thin thrusting sword goes up against a dagger.
XXXXXX
Now the time has come for both conquerors to reveal to us their favorite special weapons. Up first will be the Telmarine with a trusted thrusting blade.
''The rapier was another sword used by the Telmarines. It was a thin blade that tapered to a fine point and made of high quality steel. The blade itself measured 3 feet inb length and weighed just 3 pounds. The perfect tool to stab someone through the opening in their armor.'' Caspian explained holding his sword proudly for the panel to see.
To test out the piercing power of the rapier the team has set up two pigs. One will be bare while the other will wear the armor of the Imperial legionary.
''Okay Caspian on my go. 3...2...1...go!" DAM called out.
Caspian took his rapier and thrusted high into the unarmored pig's neck piercing all the way through with a sickening rip of the flesh. Retracting his blade he then thrusts into the side of the pig which also sees the blade going all the way through and when he yanks the blade out he moves toward the armored pig and thrusts as hard as he can into the cuirass. The tip manages to pierce the armor and he takes his blade out again to go for another thrust, this time a little higher and hits the armored torso in the exposed neck.
Zivon then walked over to assess the damage. ''Okay so I'm seeing some insane penetration here with this sword and when we're talking about the neck in an actual person you would've severed the major artery and vein in there causing this poor man to bleed out very quickly and you can watch him die, a kill. The thrust into the chest I can see here that you've struck the lungs and the heart which would lead to another instant kill and just a nasty way to go.'' he then makes his way over to the armored pig, ''This armor held up well against the rapier but you still managed to penetrate the armor but sadly it isn't enough to even touch the man underneath it. You made that up with a thrust into the neck that severed the spinal cord for another kill.''
''You bring in a long blade to battle and while I admit you can keep the Imperial legionary at a distance, we have a blade that once we get past that rapier you're a dead man.'' Tullius said.
The Imperial legionary's answer to the Telmarine's rapier was a smaller, sneaky blade of his own.
''This was another common blade found among our ranks. While we are trained well with the sword we received additional training with this dagger to make us great killers with it. It was over a foot and a half long and weighed just under a pound.'' explained Tullius.
''Then let's see what this dagger is capable of so it's the same test for you. Think you can do it?'' DAM questioned.
''I will not disappoint you.'' Tullius said as he got into position.
With DAM's go Tullius lunges forward at the unarmored target and stabs the target through the side of the head with a sickening crunch.
''Mmmm, crunchy.'' DAM said.
Tullius then thrusts the dagger into the chest several times before moving onto the armored torso and goes in for a thrust into the brigandine but only manages to dent the armor. Undeterred he maneuvers the dagger and stabs into the chainmail portion with some of the blade going through. He then follows up with another thrust into the chainmail portion before lifting the Telmarine's mask slightly and thrusts it upward through the chin with a crunch.
Zivon once again makes his way over to the display to assess the damage.
''Once again I'll get the obvious out of the way and say the armor held well...that was until you got to the chainmail where you pierced through twice and managed to cut the man underneath but like before it isn't a kill, just a flesh wound that'll hurt him and leave him open to more attacks but you compensated by thrusting upward through the chin and get most of the blade right into the brain for an instant kill. For the unarmored target you simply took that blade and stabbed him straight into the side of the head hitting the brain for another kill.'' explained Zivon.
After testing out the capabilities of these two blades which one does the panel believe take the edge?
''I'm siding with the rapier, sure it can thrust only but it has the reach which is crucial.'' DAM started off.
''I am a bit more torn here, both will have a hard time getting through each other's armor and mostly thrust. For me it's even.'' Zivon said more apprehensively.
''I gotta go with the rapier since it will have an easier time getting through any weak spots in the legionary's armor. Oh and the reach advantage too.'' Demigod added.
''Guess I'll go with the Telmarine simply because he has the reach. Keeping the Imperial legionary at a distance will allow the former to find the weakness in the armor and take him down.'' Rice Man concluded.
For special weapons, the edge goes to the Telmarine for his rapier.
Now to conclude the overall testing the team now review the armor worn by our two warriors.
''In the end I'm going with the Imperial legion since from what we've seen he has the harder armor to pierce.'' DAM said.
''I'm a bit more torn on this one because the Telmarine is combining chainmail with a steel brigandine and has a steel mask to protect his face. So I guess I'll go with the Telmarine on this one.'' Zivon explained.
''I say even since they are very strong and protective pieces of armor and each have at least one weapon that could break through the armor enough to kill.'' Demigod added.
''Even for me as well for the same reasons Demigod said. Both are very powerful armor and both soldiers struggle with their competition but at least one weapon will help them. Oh and the shields are dead even too.'' Rice Man concluded.
In the armor category, both warriors are even.
Coming up, Metal Harbinger will evaluate the x-factors and then our battle between two fictional conquering warriors begin!
XXXXXX
Welcome back to the Fight Club, here we tested out weapons between two conquering warriors to determine who is deadliest.
For short range weapons, the Imperial sword proved more lethal than the Telmar saber.
"Thrusting and slashing capabilities makes the Imperial sword more useful than the saber which only slashes and failed against the armor really bad.'' DAM explained.
Edge: Imperial Legionary
For mid-range weapons, both the halberd outperformed the steel warhammer.
''It has one more option to kill and a bit more reach, so it gets the edge.'' Zivon explained.
Edge: Telmarine
For long range weapons, the Imperial bow outshot and reloaded faster than the crossbow.
"The crossbow reloads slow which will kill you, the bow is easier to use and reloads faster.'' Demigod explained.
Edge: Imperial Legionary
For special weapons, the rapier's reach allowed it to win over the steel dagger.
"Reach and much easier to get through any weakness the opposing armor might have.'' Rice Man explained.
Edge: Telmarine
And finally, for armor both the Telmarine and Imperial legionary's respective sets of armor were deemed equals.
''Both are great armor that is hard to penetrate and are very good at protecting the wearer.'' DAM explained.
Edge: Even
And now, Metal Harbinger will gauge the x-factors of our warriors.
''Let's get this done!'' exclaimed the metalhead.
''First and foremost I will start with training and decided this went to the Imperial legionary with a 90 to the Telmarine's 88. The legion contains the best trained troops within Cyrodiil and were experts in all their weapons.''
''For domination this one went to the Telmarine with a 100 because when they invaded Narnia they sliced and diced their way through their adversaries and guess what? They ruled for over four-hundred years! The Imperial legionary was close with a 95 since they were the most powerful force in Cyrodiil.''
''Next up is killer instinct and I decided to rate these two troops even with a 93 each. The Imperial legionary were hardwired killers and were merciless toward their foes while the Telmarine were completely ruthless during the conquest of Narnia.''
''For armor metallurgy this was another even comparison since from what we've seen both sets of armor are very hard to get through and the quality of their weapons is the best around in their respective medias, 92 each.''
''Next is discipline and this went to the legionary since he came from a very professional army. He gets a 96 to the Telmarine's 90.''
Our panelists have now concluded all their testing and Metal Harbinger will now run the simulator one-thousand times in a duel to the death.
Who will win between two of fiction's most brutal conquering warriors?
Conqueror

''In the end only one man stands, let's see who it is.'' Metal said as he pressed the button.

In a quiet, lush forest near the rolling hills of Narnia a lone Telmarine was seen patrolling the dirt path. There have been various rumors that a foreign army was making its way toward their kingdom and he was sent by Miraz himself to check the surrounding areas for any signs of their new enemies. On his person he carried his shield in his with his saber and rapier holstered on his side and his crossbow and halberd strapped to his back.
They conquered Narnia and this was their kingdom so they weren't going to let some foreign force come and take what they took. Elsewhere in the forest another man clad in metal armor was seen making his way through the woods too. He was sent by his superior officers to scout this foreign kingdom for a possible invasion with the hope of expanding their empire. On his person he carried his sword and dagger strapped to his side with his shield strapped to his back and his war hammer in his hands.
The legionary then decided to rest for the time being and took all his weapons off his body and sets them aside against a tree and sits down and leans back into it to take in the serene scene of the woods and wildlife. Unknown to him however the Telmarine was approaching his general vicinity and was spotted by the ruthless pirate. Seeing the armor the legionary was wearing the Telmarine knew he had to be from the foreign army and quickly reached for his crossbow. Loading a bolt he takes aim and fires off a bolt.
The bolt sails through the air and hits the legionary right in his helmet with an audible 'ding' and the force knocked him on his side. Caught totally by surprise the legionary gets up and immediately reaches for his bow and strings an arrow. He aims in the direction he was hit from and spots the Telmarine loading another bolt onto his crossbow. He took the chance to aim and fire off his own arrow that hits the pirate in his brigandine with enough force to knock him back.
Having dropped his crossbow the Telmarine recovers from the blow and reaches for his saber and shield. With his shield in front of him he charges toward the legionary who responds to his action by doing the same thing with his sword and shield.
The two warriors let out battle cries and collided into each other several seconds later with a loud clang of metal. Both men found themselves locked in a test of strength and struggled immensely as they tried to shove their enemy away to get an opening. In the end it would be the Telmarine who had his chance and summons his strength to shove the legionary away and kicks him in the chest to send him stepping backward.
With the opening the pirate lunges forward and goes for a swing with his saber only for the legionary to recover from the assault and bashes the saber out of the Telmarine's grip leaving his opponent temporarily weaponless. With his own opportunity he thrusts his sword into the Telmarine and manages to pierce through the chainmail portion.
Feeling the blade cut into his skin the Telmarine grunts in pain and shoves the legionary away causing him to lose his sword in the process. The Telmarine draws his rapier and watches on as the legionary draws his dagger. Not wanting his opponent to get the chance to fight back the Telmarine rushes over and thrusts the rapier into the legionary.
Before the blade could hit him the legionary manages to turn around and block the blade with his shield. The rapier glances off of the shield's surface which leaves the Telmarine open to an attack and the legionary responds by stabbing into the Telmarine's armor but fails to penetrate the brigandine armor. Quickly realizing his mistake the legionary follows up with a thrust aimed through the eyehole of the pirate's mask but the latter moves his head to the side to avoid the blow.
The pirate uses the wasted move to stab his rapier into armor of the legionary and this time manages to penetrate slightly. The uncomfortable feeling within his gut from the tip of the rapier touching his skin made him grimace from the discomfort and the Telmarine headbutts the legionary with enough force to send him to the ground with his rapier still lodged in the armor and and drops his shield.
Reaching for his halberd on his back the Telmarine yells as he charges forth with his weapon and goes to bring the pike down onto the legionary's chest only for him to quickly yank out the rapier and tosses it at the pirate causing him to be distracted with blocking the weapon. This gives the legionary the time needed to reach for his war hammer and once he gets up he makes a break for it by taking the highway out of the woods and into the nearby rolling hills. With the rapier out of the way the Telmarine looks up to see where the legionary was headed and groaned in annoyance at having to chase his opponent.
After several minutes of running the legionary makes his way up the nearest hill and looks down the edge to see the Telmarine making his way up toward him.
Feeling a little honorable the legionary waits for his foe to meet him up the hill and once the Telmarine made it to the top the two men glare at each other. The Telmarine, feeling honorable himself discards his shield and sets it on the ground and holds his halberd defensively in front of him which prompts the Imperial soldier to do the same.
Both men take little baby steps toward each other and it would be the Imperial who made the first move by going for a swing with the pike end of his hammer to which the Telmarine responds by bringing his hook end to intercept the blow and the two weapons get caught in each other. Another test of strength would soon follow and both men struggled to regain control of the situation.
It was thanks to his halberd's longer reach that the pirate was able to use the leverage to push the warhammer out of the way and takes the chance to thrust his halberd's pike end into the legionary and penetrates the armor. The pike pierced into the legionary's body making him cry out from the pain and using the extra leverage the Telmarine forces the legionary to the ground.
Taking the halberd's pike out of his opponent the pirate goes for another downward thrust into the Imperial's face but using his remaining energy the legionary rolls out of the way and with his warhammer in hand he swings the pike end into the chainmail portion of the pirate's armor and punctures clean through it and the blow had enough force to break a rib.
Now he was the one who was crying out from the pain and the pirate took another when the legionary pulled back his warhammer and swings the blunt end into his face mask completely smashing it to pieces and break's some teeth and a part of his mandible in the process. Unable to cry out due to his injury the pirate was left helpless and began to try and crawl away feebly.
Filled with newfound energy and bravado, the legionary watches as his foe crawls and once he gets close to the edge of the hill he reaches downward, takes the Telmarine's helmet off and moves him onto his back so he can look the pirate in the eye.
Feeling the bravado continuing to course through him he raises his warhammer and with a mighty battle cry brings it down onto the injured Telmarine's face and smashes it completely inward with a nasty crunch.
With his opponent dead the Imperial trooper raises his warhammer into the air and screams in victory; ''Long live the Emperor! Long live the empire!"

Following a close battle between fictional conquerors it would be the Imperial Legionary who wins with 52.7% to the Telmarine's 47.3%. It was thanks to his superior blade and his better long range weapon that allowed him to stay ahead of his challenger. The Telmarine however proved to be a dangerous opponent with his halberd scoring the most kills.
''The legionary had the better close range weapon and his bow is what really helped seal the deal in his favor. The Telmarine was really only effective in the mid-range game with his halberd and that's what costed the latter the fight.'' DAM explained.
''The Telmarine was a tough customer, but only one weapon of his would've been able to defeat the legionary's armor whereas the legionary's weapons had some form of armor piercing ability especially with the chainmail portion of his armor.'' Zivon said.
''I kinda had a feeling that the legionary was gonna win. He fought much tougher opponents compared to the Telmarine and that's another thing that pushed him to victory.'' Demigod added.
''Can't say I should or shan't be surprised with the outcome. Both warriors were the brutal conquering type but in the end the man with the better sword and long range weapon won. I give my congrats to the best warriors of Cyrodiil.'' Rice Man concluded.
''This is a just a simulated battle! Had this been in the real world we would overwhelm and defeat these Imperial legionaries!'' shouted Prince Caspian in disbelief.
''We have achieved yet another victory! Now Narnia is ours for the taking!'' Tullius exclaimed proudly.
(The legionary is seen standing atop the hill overlooking the vast kingdom of Narnia. After resting from the hardest battle of his life he will return home and give word to begin their invasion of Narnia. Strapped to his back was the Telmarine's halberd which he knows will inspire new weapons designs for his fellow legionaries.)
