Chapter 272: Gladiatorial Show

Todd's ten opponents are vaguely divided into three camps.

Three carved North Islanders, each with two axes, stood at the front of the line.

The warriors of the five barbarian tribes, four men and one woman, stood in the middle.

The last two were tall, thin and tall, and the other stocky, looking a bit like the plains of the South.

Assessing the strength of the enemy in front of him, Todd pulled the long sword in his hand and placed the shield on his chest.

In his mind, he remembered what Cumberland had said to him on the battlefield: any enemy in the form of a war group, even if it is tacitly coordinated, will inevitably have flaws in the formation when marching and attacking.

Todd placed his body behind his shield and took a defensive stance, his eyes looking at the ten men in front of him, wondering if everything was as he said.

Sure enough.

Seeing that Todd did not attack, there was a small dispute between the ten gladiators over the tactical arrangement.

Eventually, the North Islanders, eager to take off Todd's head, took the lead in attacking.

Ignoring the loud shouts of others behind them, the three gladiators suddenly increased their speed to the highest speed and rushed straight towards Todd.

After estimating the time and distance, Todd slowly retreated to the rear, opening up a gap between the enemies.

Amid the exclamations of the audience, Todd lowered his body, first used his shield to block the axe attack of the fastest man, and then leaned forward, burrowed into the arms of the enemy, put the enemy on the shield, and slammed it.

The Kitajima warrior, with his feet off the ground, was pushed into the air by the tremendous force from the shield.

Todd saw the opportunity, his body rolled 360 degrees in the air, and at the moment when the enemy fell, the long sword drew a graceful arc in the air, cutting off the opponent's neck impartially.

The sword light swirled, and blood splattered.

The headless corpse fell to the ground, and the entire arena suddenly fell silent.

In less than fifteen seconds of the opening game, one of Todd's opponents was actually killed with a move.

But what really stunned everyone present was not only that.

The routines of the Northern Gladiatorial Fight are simple and boring, most of them are slashed by you with a sword, and I stab them with a sword. Therefore, few people have seen this set of dance-like combos in front of them.

The cheers and cheers came one after another, and the atmosphere of the scene was like explosives ignited by sparks, completely exploding in the "red circle".

The two remaining North Island warriors in the field first took a few steps back in unison, and after glancing at each other, the two gritted their teeth, raised their axes and charged Todd again.

Taking a deep breath, Todd gave up his defense and sped towards the two opponents.

Seeing that he was about to collide with the two, Todd suddenly leaned back, knelt on his knees, and took advantage of the momentum of running and the muddy water on the ground to assume a "iron plate bridge" pose, and slid all the way through the enemy's encirclement.

The blade of the axe slashed through Todd's nose, and the two North Island gladiators looked at their sides in disbelief, sliding to dodge their attacking opponents.

At the wrong moment, Todd swung his sword with his right hand, slashing through one man's lower abdomen, and striking the other with his left shield in the knee, smashing the two North Islanders to the ground.

The gladiator, whose lower abdomen had been cut, had his intestines flowing all over the ground, and he lay on the ground wailing incessantly, seeing that he was no longer alive.

The other man, whose knee had been shattered, struggled to turn around, and just as he tried to observe the enemy's position, a shield in his pupils that rotated at high speed and continued to expand, completely plunged him into endless darkness.

Under the watchful eyes of the audience, Todd's series of movements, sprinting, sliding, slashing, and shield strikes, were like flowing water, all in one go.

In the blink of an eye, three gladiators from the North Island were killed and wounded.

Another tsunami cheer erupted in the audience, and the father and son sitting in the front row stood up and looked into the field. The young man clapped his palms vigorously, his eyes full of intoxication and longing: "Amazing! The fight is amazing! Do you see it? Those actions in the battle are like dreams, obviously so violent, but they embody infinite beauty!"

The older man, who was the father, watched Todd walk to the corpse, picked up the shield, shook his head and said, "Child, although those actions look gorgeous, they are not very feasible in actual combat. While you're blocking attacks with your shield, stabbing directly with your sword is the most effective and safest way to do it. If a combat skill like his is on the battlefield......"

Realizing that his son was not listening to him at all, the older man sighed and said to himself, "But, then again, those movements do look pleasing to the eye......"

Wipe the blood stains from the shield on the clothes of the deceased, Todd looked back, and the seven remaining gladiators on the opposite side looked at each other with fear in their eyes.

Remembering what he had just done, Todd laughed.

Knocking over the enemy with a shield and then flipping off the enemy's head is a combo from the action game "God of War", which is also the signature finishing move of the famous Kui Ye, and as for the sliding shovel through between two enemies and hitting the left and right enemies with the weapon respectively, this move comes from the action game "Barbarian Conan", which is also a commonly used action routine in Hollywood blockbusters.

These two sets of moves are far more ornamental than practical, and if they are placed on the battlefield, they will definitely be scolded by Cumberland as "an act of seeking death".

Only a monster like Todd, who has been transformed by an ability, can use these attack moves in a catwalk manner regardless of his safety, on the premise that his strength, speed, and reflexes completely crush his opponent.

Moreover, for the "Red Circle" gladiatorial arena, Todd also discovered an interesting fact, the audience paid to come in to watch the refreshing battles and gorgeous moves, but the gladiators here, fighting to the death for survival, are far from meeting the requirements in terms of entertainment and ornamentation.

Just as Todd was thinking, the remaining seven gladiators moved.

Five warriors of the barbarian tribe, forming a semicircular formation, slowly approached Todd.

The other two Plainsmen, who had fallen behind, began to talk in a whisper.

Ackerman, who was armed with a bow and arrow, said without squinting: "Casper, what should we do? Shall we help the five people in front of us, or shall we take a gamble here?"

The knight, who was holding a giant tower shield, replied in a muffled voice, "Look at it again." ”

Looking at the five barbarian warriors, standing in a circle and tightly surrounding themselves, Todd stood unhurriedly, patted his shield with his long sword, and let out a loud shout.

Two barbarian swordsmen, attacking first, one in front of the other, one on top of Todd's head, the other aiming at his lower plate.

Another barbarian spearman, approaching from Todd's side, stabbed his weapon into his waist.

The two remaining barbarian warriors, one was a ranged soldier with a slingshot and the other was an assassin with a short sword.

The weapons of the five men arrived at the same time, sealing off almost every space for Todd's operations.

Just when everyone in the audience thought that Todd was going to be injured, the latter completed a series of incredible actions.

Todd first dodged the spear stabbing sideways, then raised his shield and shot the slingshot at his own rock, using the shield to bounce off the direction and hit one of the barbarian swordsmen in the eye, then the blade of the longsword shook lightly and directly broke the tendons of the other swordsman's hand, and finally, as if with long eyes behind him, he dodged the assassin's backstab and kicked the opponent out with another kick.

In just two or three seconds, Todd's movements were so fast that people thought they had an illusion. By the time the people reacted, the attacks of the five barbarian gladiators were all in vain, and three of them were seriously injured.

Concierber, who was standing on the high platform of the viewing ceremony, looked at Todd in the center of the venue, dumbfounded, and stammered to the Fergal beside him, "...... How did he do it?!"

The latter is no better than him, and he has a completely hellish expression.

After the shock, the five barbarian gladiators, whether wounded or not, each struggled back to the position of the battle.

During this time, Todd just watched them quietly, without making any moves.

On the other side, Caspar lifted the tower shield in his hand and nodded towards Ackerman: "It's time, the gambling chips in our hands are enough." ”

The two joined the formation of the five gladiators, facing Todd, forming a seven-on-one situation.

After waiting for everyone to take their positions, the seven attacked at the same time.

Todd is like a butterfly walking through the flowers, dodging attacks, looking for flaws, and counterattacking.

The spectators in the "Red Circle" gladiatorial arena, even the oldest customers, had never seen such a wonderful and incredible battle. The seven people who formed the encirclement fought around one person, and the people who were surrounded could still have the upper hand.

Others may not know, but Todd knows what's going on.

Two gladiators of the plains, one armed with a huge shield and the other armed with a bow and arrow. It seems that he is forming a circle with the other five people, and he is flanking Todd. But in reality, the two were helping him very stealthily to defend against the attacks of the other gladiators.

Caspar swung his shield at Todd, apparently smashing it at Todd, but from the side, blocking the swordsman's thrust, and Ackerman's bow, apparently aimed at Todd's shoulder, inexplicably missed, blocking the Assassin's position.

Discovering the "secret assistance" of these two people, Todd took advantage of the gap in the battle to observe the two "helpers".

He had no impression of the tall and stout shieldman, but he always felt that he had seen the tall and thin archer.

The fight lasted 45 minutes from beginning to end. Five barbarian gladiators, three dead and two wounded, the two plains gladiators, the archers were safe, but the man who used the tower shield was wounded to the thigh.

In the end, looking at the remaining five opponents, exhausted and paralyzed to the ground, there was no longer the slightest intention to fight. Todd gave up the pursuit, instead raising his sword and shield in the air, signaling to the spectators that the battle was over and that there should be no more fighting and bloodshed on the field.

Amid the surging shouts, the red-faced King of Ulster, Concierber, loudly announced the decision to pardon.

The death penalty for Boyle was changed to servitude, and as for the remaining five gladiators, it was agreed that they would be given the right to live. ()
