Conquest

    Chapter 144 [Let Father slap it]

    This is a carnival like a holiday celebration!

    The first impression that Shaar left after witnessing the scene before! !

    The outer wall of this ancient arena is angular, and after entering it, it is a large oval square surrounded by stepped stands ranging from a few meters to more than ten meters.

    In the center, a large circular pit with a diameter of about 100 meters was dug out of the ground. The depth of excavation to the ground reached four or five meters. The surrounding area was rounded with round boulders and was unattainable. The audience around the stands is above the safe height of the edge.

    See the highest place in the north, that side of the grandstand is 15 meters tall, more than the height of the wall, a fenced protruding terrace shape, a square pillar arch, the most middle of the terrace is the highest, half-garden shape, even the fence railing are painted gold, on both sides of the terrace is about a metre apart, showing the wild goose wings scattered.

    The rest of the stands are ordinary ladder styles. When Shaar walked into the arena, it was enough to hold nearly half of the giant arena with more than 20,000 people.

    According to Alfred Carter, this is just a preliminaries, and by the time of the race, almost every day the arena is packed. The one closest to the front row is the most expensive, because you can hear the roaring and shouting of the soldiers in the arena in the nearest distance, and see the scenes of flesh and blood, every detail is more real, and sometimes even You can even feel the blood from the spray!

    – These seats have always been patented by aristocrats or wealthy merchants who are willing to pay a lot of money.

    In the distance, those terraces that seem to be box-like are the real power of the empire. The highest one in the center belongs to the Royal Family. The annual Skill Competition, the final race, the emperor’s own wife will attend the observation. The terrace belongs to the Prime Minister, General, Imperial officials and so on.

    From a gate into the grandstand of the arena, Shaar with Alfred Carter on the east near the north, the arena also has a special attendant, these people wearing short sleeves of black gown, clearly is a big cold day, but tired full of head oil sweat, a bare foot running, Some hold large plates, which are full of dropped notes, as well as various currencies, gold and silver.

    "These are the people responsible for the bet."Alfred Carter smiled and said: "The Skill Competition, which is full of business opportunities, has been sold to the empire's long-established ancient Trading Company for many years. The auction of rights, once every ten years, will allow the three highest bidding companies to jointly own the rights to the game."

    Pointing to the attendant running around, he whispered, "there are the names and origins of the Warriors on the bulletin board outside the entrance, and before each start, the audience can place bets in attendant, pay in cash in exchange for a bet, and after the game, You can redeem the winnings you won with the cops. ”

    Alfred Carter smiled and immediately pulled an attendant who ran past him. He took a silver coin from his pocket and gave it to the other person. He shouted twice and the attendant quickly respected the two. Going to the front row of the northeast stand, I found the empty seat in the third row and sat down for the two.

    Later, Shaar experienced the intense excitement of the Skill Competition, which has a long history in the Byzantine Empire, and…Brutality

    In the huge arena below, the circular crater was divided into six small martial arts fields with the pulleys that can be pushed underneath. This is the rule of the preliminaries, and once it enters the race, Then every time you play, you can fill the entire venue.

    There are different preliminaries in the six ** small contests. Shaar looked at the past and saw a bit of taste.

    Among the three small-scale martial arts fields that are divided, the two warriors are catching and killing each other. Seeing that the strength is average, they are all the weak people in the preliminaries. However, there is a contest between the two, but it is not a warrior! But people and beasts!

    A man wearing a leather male armor, a shield with a long sword, half-squatting, is confronting a blood-stained wolf! The mad wolf is an adult wolf. It is strong and strong. The physique is almost the same size as the one that Shaar killed on the Primal Wildfire, but the coat is more dense and bright, and the body is more outstanding!

    The warrior had already had an injury, and the bare parts of the arms and thighs left two deep scratches on the wolf's claws, bloody, and there was blood on the front paw of the wolf. Some were incoherent and apparently injured by the warrior.

    Shaar look at the time, the Wolf pounced on, the samurai directly pounced back to the ground, but the samurai alert with a shield to block the-sided door, although was knocked down, but the wolf head on the shield, Wolf Claw RIP, but can not penetrate the shield, the samurai took the opportunity to use a long sword in the face of the wolf belly a few times!!

    Poof blood voice, the audience beside the grandstand in a chorus of excited cry, that crazy wolf mournful cry sobs, finally by the samurai struggle to overturn, has been gutted, even the internal intestines are flowing out, struggling a few times, fell to the ground, the samurai strode past a sword stabbed into the head of the wolf, and then raised the shield issued a victory cry. I won the applause from the audience in the stands.

    Shaar saw it here, took back his eyes and sneered.

    Alfred Carter also noticed the situation over there, and when Shaar looked disapproving, he explained: "In the process of drawing lots, in order to increase the appreciation, the project of man and beast battles has been added for many years. If this is the case, if the draw is drawn, Is the most popular scene for the audience…Well, the beasts that are drawn in the preliminaries are generally not too strong, the average wolf lions and tigers are more, and the demon beast is less. These animals are raised in the Trading Company and are used exclusively during competitions. ”

    "There is a fake."Shaar hit the nail on the head and sneered: "Look at the mad wolf that was killed, oh…How can a bloody mad wolf be so weak? The citizens of these Imperial Capital have not seen it. They have never seen the fierceness of the real mad wolf. The real mad wolf is afraid of a few bites and kills the warrior. ”

    Alfred Carter nodded and said: "Lord, you said it is good. In these games, fraud often happens. The Trading Company sometimes makes some manipulations in the game for profitability. It is not easy to control, but the beast is much easier. If you want to win, then you will put some drugs such as anesthesia on the demon beast before the game, so that the beast will be slow and weak, so the ordinary audience can't see it. If you want to let the beast win, give demon beast some medicine to stimulate the excitement. In a short time, let the demon beast mad, and the combat power will increase. As for the side effects of the drug after the event, you will not see it after the game. ”

    Shaar shook his head: "I don't mean this. HumI only tell you that even if you don't use drugs, the demon beast used in this game is much worse than the real wilderness. ”

    Hillbilly sighed: "The big things that are raised in the cage, and the wildness that grows up in the wilderness of the wilderness, are barely weak, and use it!" Even if it is a tiger, it has been raised in a cage for many years, and it has become a cat. ”

    Alfred Carter nodded and thought deeply. Shaar can't help but cast a few points of approval.

    After reviewing these, the two suddenly heard the audience around them suddenly stand up and sent out a shout of screams and cheers from the mountains and the tsunami. Everyone’s face was full of excitement and excitement like admiring the hero. Shaar and Alfred Carter look at each other and look down…

    It turned out that just below the northeast stand where the two were located, facing a small buttfield that was divided, it was only empty in the battlefield. The players who played at the moment just came out.

    Obviously, among the players in this game, there are probably some famous people, or the famous players who have made outstanding achievements, which triggered the audience to cheer and shout.

    Alfred Carter and Shaar looked down and opened their eyes.

    "damn it! Actually this bastard? ! ”

    I saw two warriors in the contest below the table. One of them, wearing a silver steel stiletto, handsome, carrying a silver-cross sword, under the sun, the silver armor glittered, but it really A little bit of people's momentum.

    This guy, let Shaar and Alfred Carter look at it, suddenly exposed the anger, especially Alfred Carter, even more enemies meet, extraordinarily jealous!

    This person is actually the Chief, Phillips of the Silver-python warriors' group who ambushed the two on the way to Imperial Capital! !

    "How come this guy?"Shaar snorted and squinted: "Is he a High Rank Samurai? What is the Silver-python warriors' group not very famous? How did he run to play the preliminaries? ”

    Alfred Carter gnawed his teeth: "According to the strength of the Silver-python warriors' group, he doesn't have to play the preliminaries. ButHe didn't play in the first three sessions, but let his brother play, so he calculated his past achievements. Although he is famous for his warriors' group, he must start from the beginning in the individual game…Hey, it is also possible that he was deliberate. After all, his brother defeated me in the last competition and made them famous. This time he made a comeback. In the preliminaries, he used his opponents to be weak and spelled out a few winning streak. Earn some fame. ”

    The Phillips under the stage was naturally unaware of Shaar and Alfred Carter hidden in the dense crowd.

    His opponent is a seemingly fine warrior, about thirty years old, with an iron shield and a long knife. Wearing a leather breastplate – and regardless of strength, it is the appearance of this equipment, who is strong and weak, everyone has a heart.

    The warrior seemed to be nervous too, but at this moment he couldn't let him back, just staring at Phillips.

    Phillips was full of arrogance, showing a long sword, paying tribute to the audience in the stands, earning enough cheers from the audience, then turning around, smiling at the opponent in front of him, and pretending to be elegant and bent. A warrior's ancient rite, a sword, a pendulum, gently stroked, the action is really quite a bit of a demeanor.

    Subsequently, the two upper body ** strong man next to the battlefield, reasonably hammered a heavy hammer on a giant round cymbal, slamming, announced the start of the test! The two quickly carried the giant python and retired from the side door.

    Phillips stood on the spot, calm and relaxed, and he had figured out that it was impossible to meet a real threat to himself in the preliminary round-although not without "hidden Dragon in the preliminary round, but his large gold coin had been spilled out, The people who bribed the trading Company to arrange the competition, their own drawing process in the heart has already had a number, at least before the race, all the way to the smooth–alfred Carter is not wrong, he is to use the preliminary opponent ripples weak, create a few winning streak, to add some wise to themselves.

    Before the current game, he has won four straight games, one of which also killed a wind element on the spot! That's the demon beast of Mid Rank! The game earned him a good reputation, but others did not know that the arrow-toothed beast that was only against him was filled with a large bucket of spirits mixed with anesthesia before the game!

    Looked at the opponent, this opponent is too far from the equipment to look too far, the knife shield in the hand is the common goods, the leather armor is the defense used in the remote mercenary group – even though It’s just that you can’t fight back, and with this fine silver plaque, it’s not that the other person can easily hurt himself!

    The opponent, the warrior, bent over and held the knife shield. He turned a half circle around Phillips and carefully captured the fighter. Phillips stood there, proudly wielding sword and smiling, staring at the opponent.

    Finally, the opponent couldn’t find the flaw, and the heart was screaming, and a sigh of gray light appeared on the body. Obviously, the level of battle ki also reached the rank of the Mid Rank samurai, stepping forward and vacating the body. From the shield, he has protected his own vitality, and the volley has gone down! Above the blade, battle ki shines!

    "Om"

    Phillips stepped back, and the cross-sword blocked it. He heard a bang, and the warrior stepped back, and the blade in his hand was missing a small mouth! Phillips laughed and deliberately screamed and shouted: "You are not my opponent, you have lost your knife and surrendered!"

    After that, his whole body was silvery, and the silvery light shrouded his whole body. Under the silver scorpion silver sword, his body was filled with a kind of sacred momentum! The audience with the goods in the stands suddenly shouted and cheered.

    High Rank battle ki ! High Rank battle ki ! ! ! !

    "Is it?"Shaar couldn't help but wonder.

    This Phillips, when the ambush on the day, the battle ki seems not so powerful?

    Alfred Carter glanced at him with a glance: "He made a fake!"

    "False? Can battle ki also make a fake? ”Shaar's eyes widened.

    "He must have enforcement of magic on his armor. This is illusion. Using light, it will enlarge the light of battle ki. It looks scary. Actually…Hey, his brother used this method last year. Before the contest, he gave the opponent a bit of wariness. When he played it, it was more advantageous to seize the first move. Only his brother was still smashed by me, hehe! These two brothers are not good things. ”

    Sure enough, the opponent samurai look at Phillips so gorgeous battle Ki light, the face more and more ugly up, Phillips a big drink, on the way, posture like a large bird generally stretch out, the action is beautiful and vigorous, people in the air, a sword chopped down, sword edge glazing Blade Split, A battle Ki light cut down, the opponent raised the shield to resist, a sound, that ordinary texture of the iron shield was suddenly cut into two halves!

    Phillips fell in front of the opponent, quite a sword on the Thorn, the opponent struggled across the knife block, two people in one hand to spell four or five, the opponent's momentum is more and more decadent, the original strength has a gap, and by the other side of the momentum, the shield was cut, the hands can not help but weak a bit of momentum, blade although hard But when a few times, but a continuous retreat, left right, ah a pain called, shoulders on the shoulder a sword! Phillips deliberately screamed, the sword edge turned, and slammed the shoulder strap of the other's chest armor, and called, the opponent's breastplate was picked up by him!

    Stepping forward, I squatted on the opponent's heart. The warrior blew blood in the mouth, flew backwards, and fell to the ground and struggled. When I stood up, Phillips had already caught up and raised the sword!

    Hey! !

    The gorgeous brilliance of the silver presses the light of this opponent's gray gray ki, which is almost invisible. Under a few consecutive squats, this warrior has been kneeling on the ground, standing still, just after the two hands hold the knife for a few times, a click, With a light hand, the blade has been shortened!

    Phillips sneered, and the sword edge ran across the opponent's neck. Then he slammed his opponent on the ground, his feet on the opponent's heart, and raised his sword to the audience in the stands.

    At this time, the audience in the stands are boiling!

    In the preliminaries, I saw a silver rank ki's High Rank Samurai, which was originally a rare and rare scene! Like this expert, it is always right to enter the race directly!

    At this moment, the audience shouted loudly. Many people struggled to scream. They picked up a handkerchief from the seat and fought hard. Some even distorted their expressions and shouted loudly: "Kill! Kill! Kill! Kills

    There are also bets on the opponent who lost the money, so angry that the bet will be broken, and also shouted "kill"!

    The full field is a "kill" sound!

    This was originally a bloody and cruel tradition. On the competition platform, life and death, murder is not guilty! Although not necessarily every game will be born and died, but according to ancient rite, many times, if the surrounding audience consistently waved a handkerchief to kill, then the following warrior can be executed at the request of the audience! Such a move is not subject to imperial decree!

    Of courseIf you have good thoughts and keep your people, it is natural to be common sense.

    However, this Phillips naturally does not have any good thoughts. Since he is a high-ranking samurai, he is honored to participate in the preliminaries. It is to create momentum and kill more people, but it will lead to a bigger sensation!

    In the sound of shouting around, Phillips snorted and looked down at the opponent who was walking under his feet. The warrior's heart was bright, his face was full of fear, and he shouted: "I admit defeat!" Rao…"

    Puff

    Not waiting for the warrior to ask for mercy, Phillips stabbed in from the other's throat, and then the sword edge turned, the sharp sword edge cut the neck, Phillips bent over and grabbed the other's hair, struggling!

    Puff

    The blood in the chamber was mad, and then it fell like a raindrop, and his bright silver armor was covered with red spots!

    Phillips lifted the sword in one hand and raised the cut head high above his head, bloody and dripping, but he laughed a few times at the audience in the stands.

    In an instant, the enthusiasm of the audience in the stands was ignited! These people came here to watch, just to seek the bloody stimulation of this sense! Seeing that the murderer slashed his head in the crowd, the bloody scene became more and more mad into the audience's fanaticism. Countless people stood up and screamed at Phillips. Even on the other stands, some people paid attention to the scene here. Jump up and scream.

    For a time, the grandstands in the arena were almost attracted by Phillips's actions, and the rest of the competitions were not noticed.

    Full of cheers, Phillips was full of ambition, only felt that it was a wise decision to drop the lower body to participate in this preliminaries, and spent thousands of gold coins to tie the relationship, it is really worth the effort!

    The applause around it lasted for about a minute, and two strong men came out of the side door to move out of the gongs, just about the end of the buzz…

    At this time, Phillips suddenly made a move to make the audience more boiling! !

    He suddenly flew to the body, and a sword cut the copper hammer in the strong man's hand!

    Two strong men are on the spot!

    And Phillips strode to the edge of the battlefield, opened his arms, and raised his silver cross sword with one hand – just reversed the hilt, with the sword edge facing down, the hilt facing up, facing the surrounding A circle of stands! !

    This move suddenly made the audience boil, and the sound of cheering almost collapsed the buildings of the arena! !

    Challenge This is the challenge! ! ”

    Alfred Carter and Shaar were sitting in the crowd, Alfred Carter's eyes flashed and his fists clenched: "This is the ancient rite of the Skill Competition! This guy seems to be a desperate name! ”

    The screaming beside it was deafening, and Shaar frowned and asked, "What is an ancient rite? What does he mean by this challenge? ”

    Alfred Carter yelled at Shaar's ear and said: "That is, the winner has the right to ask the game not to end, the contest continues!! As long as the copper does not ring! According to ancient rite, the samurai of victory, in order to show off their valor, can challenge the audience. If someone admits that they are not satisfied with this winning samurai, they can immediately challenge! No matter whether you kill or die, don't ask for sin! ! Hmph! He is very clever. He knows that the people who come to watch in the preliminaries are ordinary audiences. When the finals are over, there will be many famous warriors in the stands to watch…So, he actually made this move in the preliminaries, cunning the bastard! ”

    Shaar listened, and suddenly his face smirked.

    "Ha ha ha ha! Freedom challenge? Good. Ok, very! ! This guy, I can't find him bad luck! He is looking for death himself, and he must be surprised by Father! ”

    After that, hillbilly suddenly shot Alfred Carter and shouted: "Look at your eyes and watch, Father will avenge your dead brothers!"

    Shaar suddenly jumped up from the stands, and the man was in the air, banging into the platform below! !

    He suddenly appeared, and the audience in the audience was crazy! Looking at this kind of competition, there are so dramatic scenes, but the audience is most praying for it! Sure enough, the hillbilly appeared, the majority of the audience applauded the guy who jumped off the stands.

    In the entire arena, like a huge beehive, the sound of the cymbals is deafening…

    Shaar's action of jumping off the arena was not fancy, and after he squatted on the ground, the place where he landed under his feet suddenly slammed a pit!

    Shaar rubbed the dirt on his face and looked up at the Phillips, his face smirked: "Hey, little white face, Father is coming!!"

    Phillips originally had an abacus in mind. There was no expert watch in the grandstand. There was no danger in doing some extraordinary moves. It just caused a cheering audience. He was proud of his heart and suddenly fell from the sky. God is coming? !

    Phillips saw the coming, and suddenly he was mad! Where can he not remember Shaar? On the same day, ambushing on the road, this madman put in one hand and saved the Alfred Carter, and when fighting with himself, this guy's martial skill is outrageous! Take your own fight back! If it wasn't for the Mage hired by myself, I was afraid that I was cut by the other side at the time! Even so, Shaar forced the Mage to kill the scene, carrying the bloody head of the Mage, the baleful aura looks…

    Every time I think about it, I let Phillips have a nightmare! !

    At this moment, at the time of his favorite, this nightmare guy actually appeared out of thin air? !

    Phillips was shocked and almost couldn't hold the sword. He subconsciously stepped back two steps and stared at Shaar with his eyes wide open.

    “Um? What are the eyes so big? ”Shaar squinted and slowly pulled out the fire pitchfork, his face showing a smile: "Don't you recognize Father?" Come here, little white face, come over and let your Shaar Master do a few good times! ”

    The screams around me are like a tsunami, but where is Phillips still a little bit proud? He just can't wait to slap on his own two slaps!

    Staring at Shaar, Phillips's face was suddenly white and white, and finally gritted his teeth and said a word from his teeth: "You! I have no complaints with you, why are you so hard to force me…"

    Shaar waved his hand and pushed forward step by step. The fire pitchfork whispered and sneered, "I have no hatred, let Father say a few times." Come and come, don't hide! ”
