Chapter 28 Conventional gladiatorial combat
……
“It’s a pity that large-scale gladiatorial battles with astonishing intensity do not happen every day.”
“But today’s several regular gladiatorial battles can still satisfy everyone. With the bloodthirsty heart of a Nucerian, let us welcome the gladiators who will participate in the gladiator next..."
"The prince of the mountains, from the first day he became a gladiator, The person who is attracting much attention, stay safe--Angron!"
"..."
Qin Xia frowned and listened to the host's elongated announcement. He had always had strong opinions on the way this announcement was made.
The arena was filled with overwhelming cheers, and the gladiators were about to take the field.
"This is a regular gladiatorial fight. We don't have to fight to the death." Honor rubbed Angron's muscles and glanced at the twin gladiators who had already walked out of the cave to the armory. "Be merciful." , but be careful, you have to kill."
"Why?" Angron was puzzled, "Don't those people outside want to see us kill each other?"
"They want to, but not everyone can be a gladiator by catching anyone from anywhere." Honor smiled and shook his head, "If you want to replenish the number of gladiators, you can't just catch people randomly. The gladiator field must ensure that unnecessary casualties of gladiators are reduced. It's enough that the winner can be determined when it's not a large-scale gladiatorial battle."
After that, Honor looked at Yochula again and said with a very serious tone: "The Skinner and the Nusa twins never treat others. There have been assassins...but...we still have to be careful, do you understand?"
Yochula nodded.
Then the young gladiator who was entrusted to Angron by his mother squatted in front of Qin Xia, looking at Qin Xia under his golden curly hair: "Can you please bless me?"
"Blessing?" Qin Xia was puzzled.
"My mother said that wizards can bless others." Yochula said, "If you can bless me, I think I can survive in the arena until one day I leave here... Take my mother, my Brother, let’s leave together.”
Qin Xia nodded, stretched out his hand and put it on Yochula’s head: “I hope you live.”
Yochula closed her eyes, as if it was true. As if he could feel some magical power being exerted on him, he felt it carefully, then opened his eyes, stood up and walked to Angron's side with a firm gaze.
"I will also protect you, kid." Kleist, who was also scheduled to play, patted Yochula on the shoulder, "If you survive, tell me your mother's name."
Yochula rolled her eyes at Kleist and left the cave.
Angron and Kleist nodded to Qin Xia and left the cave together.
The gladiators who were going to participate in regular gladiatorial battles were escorted by security omnics to the armory to select weapons.
Angron took two axes, Kleist picked up the spear she was best at using as usual, and Yochula picked up the harpoon and fishing net.
When leaving the armory and heading to the corridor leading to the fighting area of the arena, the three met the Nusa twins who had already taken weapons first, and a gladiator named the Skinner.
“One of the Noosa twins is good at using fishing nets and the other is good at using harpoons. They are very good at cooperating.”
Kleist approached Yochula and whispered a serious reminder.
"As for the Skinner... no one knows his real name. They only know that he is good at using two daggers and can completely peel off a person's skin during battle."
Smell After saying that, Yochula immediately became nervous and subconsciously held his breath.
Yochula, who became a gladiator earlier than Angron and Qin Xia, did not know what the Nusa Twins and the Skinner were capable of. The reason why he was nervous was precisely because he knew very well what the other party was capable of.
Yochula read all the gladiator information before becoming a gladiator.
As if feeling the fear spreading from the young man, the Skinner standing in front turned around, with a gentle smile on his pale face: "Don't be afraid, kid. We don't need to fight life or death today, we just need to separate." Win or lose, just come back and carve the rope of victory.”
The Skinner’s appearance is very attractive, with pale skin and always wet black curly hair.
Not tall, always smiling coldly.
But now, the smile on the Skinner's face looks very gentle and reassuring. "Thank you, thank you sir." Yochula tried his best to smile.
The skinner nodded slightly, raised his hand and patted his chest, then pointed at Yochula, meaning: I will cover you.
At this time, the Nusa twins also turned back and smiled.
The gladiator family is quite warm.
But Angron, who was at the end of the team, frowned.
The fight begins soon.
Qin Xia, who was still in the cave, did not sit cross-legged and busy with his own affairs. Instead, he moved to the window and looked down at the battlefield.
Hono said that the arena was underground, but the scene outside the window was from a bird's eye view.
Qin Xia discovered that the window was not actually a window, it was just a ventilation channel disguised as a window using holographic technology.
"If one party is defeated but still alive during the gladiatorial fight, will the nobles or the audience stand up and give a thumbs up to determine the gladiator's life or death?" Qin Xia suddenly asked Honor, who was also approaching.
“Large-scale gladiatorial meetings, but this kind of regular gladiatorial battle is simply about competition and discussion.” Honor replied, “The style of the gladiatorial arena is generally to leave people to die in large-scale gladiatorial battles.”
< br>
Qin Xia nodded and watched silently.
The gladiators divided into two teams faced each other, half a meter apart.
The Maggot Eye hovers up and down, using the best shooting angle to present everyone in the gladiatorial fight on a holographic projection, so that the people at the back of the auditorium and those not present to watch the gladiatorial fight can also see clearly.
“The fight begins!”
Maggot Eye gave the order, and the sound of the horn echoed in the arena.
Angron was facing the Nusa twins, so he naturally carried an ax to deal with the twin gladiators first.
The Noosa Twins immediately covered Kleist with a fishing net, and then dealt with Angron.
As for the Skinner, he and Yochula himself got together intentionally or unintentionally.
Although this regular gladiatorial fight is more like a competition, the gladiators still have to fight well, at least not to make the audience feel that the fight is too fake.
“Choosing the harpoon was a smart decision.”
The Skinner stood with his feet together on the red sand, and the smile on his face was so gentle and friendly in Yochula's eyes at this moment.
“I heard that before you became a gladiator, you were a fishing slave in the artificial sea. You have no combat training, so it is wise to choose a tool that you think is handy.”
“It’s like I used to be a person who specialized in skinning worms' organs, so I chose a dagger."
"Let's take action."
The skinner motioned for Yochula to take action against him. Teach you two tricks.”
"Yes!" Yochula immediately stepped forward and stabbed the skinner with the harpoon in his hand.
The Skinner dodged easily, and then cut off Yochula's right arm when he was about to retaliate.
The dagger in the hands of the Skinner was extremely sharp. When Yochula realized that his right arm was gone, he felt the heart-breaking pain.
