Chapter 57: Major VS Colonel

Colonel Calliax and Major Jacques stand poised, ready for their hand-to-hand combat encounter.

Colonel Calliax moves with precision and agility, his training evident in every calculated step. With swift footwork, he closes the distance between himself and Major Jacques, his muscles tensed and ready for action.

As they engage, Calliax expertly deflects Jacques' initial strikes with a combination of blocks and parries. He seamlessly transitions between defensive and offensive manoeuvres, landing precise blows with strategic strikes to vulnerable points.

With a quick feint, Calliax creates an opening, exploiting Jacques' momentary hesitation to deliver a powerful kick to the abdomen, causing the Major to stagger backwards.

Capitalizing on his advantage, Calliax presses the attack, raining down a series of rapid punches and kicks, each one finding its mark with deadly accuracy. His movements are fluid and relentless, driving Jacques further onto the defensive.

With a final, decisive strike, Calliax delivers a well-placed blow to Jacques' chin, sending him sprawling to the ground. The Colonel stands victorious, his mastery of combat evident as he gains the upper hand against the skilled Major.

Colonel Calliax's voice cuts through the intensity of the combat, commanding yet focused. "You're outmatched, Major. Surrender now, and this can end peacefully."

Major Jacques grunts as he deflects a series of blows, his breath laboured. "Never underestimate me, Calliax. I won't go down without a fight."

Calliax's eyes narrow, determination fueling his every move. "Then so be it. But remember, I warned you."

Their clash continues the sound of their blows echoing through the air. With each exchange, Calliax's confidence grows, and his movements become more fluid and precise.

"You're skilled, Major, I'll give you that," Calliax acknowledges, his voice steady despite the exertion. "But skill alone won't win this fight."

Jacques grins defiantly, though his movements betray a hint of fatigue. "Maybe not. But I've got enough fight left in me to make it interesting."

With a sudden burst of speed, Calliax seizes the opportunity, launching a barrage of strikes that catch Jacques off guard. The Major staggers, his defences faltering.

"Time to end this," Calliax declares, delivering the final blow that sends Jacques sprawling to the ground.

Gasping for breath, Jacques looks up at Calliax with a mixture of resignation and respect. "You win, Colonel. But don't think this is over."

Calliax offers a nod of acknowledgement. "No hard feelings, Major. Just doing my duty."

Colonel Calliax's training in various martial arts disciplines becomes evident as he seamlessly transitions between techniques, blending elements of Krav Maga, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and Muay Thai with precision.

With a swift side step, Calliax evades Major Jacques' first strike, countering with a lightning-fast jab aimed at Jacques' midsection. The Major manages to block, but Calliax follows up with a spinning hook kick, forcing Jacques to retreat.

"You're quick, Colonel, but not quick enough!" Jacques taunts, launching a flurry of punches. Calliax calmly deflects each blow, his movements fluid and economical.

As Jacques lunges forward, Calliax smoothly executes a hip throw, using Jacques' momentum against him to send him crashing to the ground. But Jacques recovers quickly, attempting to sweep Calliax's legs out from under him.

Calliax leaps over the sweeping leg, landing behind Jacques in a defensive stance. "You'll have to do better than that, Major."

With a growl of frustration, Jacques charges forward once more, aiming a powerful roundhouse kick at Calliax's head. But Calliax ducks under the kick, grabbing Jacques' leg and twisting it with a joint lock.
