Chapter 278: The New Director
Aisha's injuries were so severe that Rachel had to go to a local woman with healing abilities in person.
But the female pirate's luck was better than that of Boyle, and she held out until rescuers arrived.
With her tenacious vitality and the healing of her abilities, she survived the most dangerous period, and her life symptoms gradually stabilized, but her consciousness remained in a coma.
Entrusting Aisha to Richel, Todd had to rush back to the arena before anyone could suspect him.
Along the way, the number of guards was much larger than usual, presumably last night's rescue operation that angered the nerves of those in power.
However, as long as Aisha remained under the protection of Rachel, Todd was confident that the Ulsters would not be able to find any trace of them, even if they turned the city over.
Back in the "Red Circle", he changed his clothes, took a shower, and packed up Todd, just in time for Ackerman and Caspar to fight against the barbarian sisters.
To be honest, no one cared about the battle, except for the gladiators themselves, who took part in the battle.
Even the gladiatorial managers, after raising the entrance gate, began to nap boredly leaning against the wooden pillars.
The two sides of the battle were not famous gladiators, and the number of spectators was naturally very small, and there was even an embarrassing situation where a whole row was empty in the entire stand.
In the whole venue, there was only a sparse shouting of cheers, and if you listened carefully, it was full of "take off the clothes of those two girls" and "let's listen to their coquettish voices", similar to this kind of ill-intentioned request.
As the bell rings on the high platform, the gladiatorial fight officially begins.
Immediately after, there was a loud crash that woke up all the sleepy spectators.
Parri's twin knives slashed hard at Casper's shield, and they echoed like a bell.
Using Eagle Eye and Perspective, Todd looked at Casper's tower shield and discovered the mystery on it, the shield was wrapped in a layer of iron sheet, and in the event of impact, the hollow gap under the iron sheet would echo, which could increase the momentum and cause the effect of power impact.
Todd didn't teach them this design, it should have been improved after they thought about it and verified it themselves. From this point of view, these four guys really put their heart and soul into this gladiatorial fight.
Ackerman ducked behind Caspar and used the shield to strike with a short bow, while the Barbarian Sisters drew the attention of the shieldmen while the other circled around and tried to attack the archers.
This kind of teamwork gladiatorial fighting style makes the Ulster people shine.
Ackerman fell to his knees and, after aiming, shot an arrow through the gap in the tower shield and struck Parri on the shoulder.
The latter saw the moment and raised his twin blades.
The arrow collided with the blade, and a dazzling spark bloomed on the battlefield.
There was an exclamation from the audience.
The metal arrows of the arrows can actually collide with the blades of the blades, bursting out with such dazzling sparks. This shows how amazing the power of the archers is, and how quickly the people who block them react!
More and more spectators got up from their seats and began to pay attention to this battle, which was not optimistic.
Every tricky arrow of Ackerman, every incredible rescue of Casper, and every tidal wave of attacks of the barbarian sisters can elicit louder and louder cheers and cheers.
The monotonous and tedious battles in the gladiatorial arena in the past have long been unable to meet the requirements of the Ulsters, and suddenly there is a gladiatorial fight that far exceeds the daily norms, both in terms of tactics and fighting, how can this not make these spectators fascinated?
Ten minutes or so into the battle, Ackerman suddenly found a moment and unleashed a quick second shot, the first of which was blocked by Parni, but the second was pierced into her thigh.
The blood gushed like a fountain, and in an instant it soaked the earth.
Parni clutched her thighs and screamed and fell to the ground.
Her sister, Parri, shielded her with her weapon and shouted for her to stand up.
In front of the crowd of spectators, Parni clenched the cloth strip of the bracer with her teeth, grabbed the shaking arrow feather with one hand, took a deep breath, and pulled out the arrow with blood and flesh.
The heart-rending screams and bloody wounds shook the bodies of all the spectators in the gladiatorial arena.
Parni simply bandaged her wound and limped back into the fight, and all the spectators present saw this scene and immediately let out a tidal wave of praise and praise.
What a brave and strong female warrior who, after suffering such a severe trauma, can continue to fight for the sake of her loved ones and victory.
This will to fight is admired by everyone.
The battle lasted fifteen minutes. Due to wounds and tactical problems, the Barbarian Sisters were ultimately defeated by the shield and bow combination.
Watch as Casper's dagger rests on the neck of her sister Parri, who spreads her arms to protect her sister.
This situation and this scene moved all the audience present, and almost all of them gave a thumbs up, indicating that the four of them could survive.
Ackerman looked at everything in the room, and his trembling bow finally let go. He glanced at Parri, who was also nervous, and smiled in relief.
Todd smiled and left the stands.
This battle show ended perfectly, and as for the rest of the matter, it was no longer within his care.
As Todd walked into the gladiator quarters, a well-armed young swordsman waited on the stone steps, observing him with curiosity.
The young swordsman looked to be in his early twenties, with the face of a typical northern snowy man, with three-dimensional, well-defined features, and an extraordinary temperament. He wears a mid-armor made by a famous family, and the long sword in his hand is also engraved with an intricate family crest.
"You're the 'Red Champion' who fights one against ten?"
Hearing this, and looking at the opponent's posture again, Todd hooked a short axe from the ground with his foot, imitated Boyle's tone, and said to the other party with his head held high, "Are you here to chat, or are you here to fight?"
The young man's eyes lit up, he jumped down the stone steps with his sword, and said with a smile: "I like your personality. ”
Todd looked the other man up and down, and smiled, "I like your weapons." ”
Tilting the hilt of his sword with both hands, assuming a posture of both offense and defense, the young man said in a deep voice: "Win me, it will be yours." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the young man grabbed the hilt of his sword, and the long sword slammed forward, stabbing Todd in the chest.
Moving to dodge the blow, Todd guessed in his mind what the young man meant.
After all, it's just a child of an Ulster aristocratic family who watched the one-on-ten game, and his hands itched unbearably, so he specially ran over to have a good time.
To deal with this kind of aristocratic son, Todd has always adhered to an attitude of not offending and not yielding.
On the one hand, it's not Todd's style to make a mistake to a powerful person just to slap him in the face, but on the other hand, he really can't do it after someone else's ass.
Therefore, pretending to be a serious fighter, deliberately suppressing his ability, and finally achieving a narrow victory, Todd's goal was achieved.
The battle between the two lasted nearly a hundred rounds, and Todd finally took advantage of the opponent's unstable sword, and directly knocked the opponent's weapon away with brute force and won the victory.
Looking down at his numb palms, the young man said to himself thoughtfully: "Father is right, I pay too much attention to the training of skills, but neglect strength and endurance. ”
The young man raised his head, not showing the slightest expression of anger and displeasure because of the defeat, but said generously: "I lost, the sword belongs to you." ”
Walking to the place where the sword fell, Todd picked up the blade, looked at it carefully, and exclaimed, "It's a good sword." ”
To the surprise of the others, Todd suddenly threw this valuable weapon back to the young man: "This sword is temporarily stored with you, help me keep it." ”
The latter's surprise still stayed on his face, and looking at Todd's dashing and departing back, he couldn't help but shout: "My name is Fiocha, son of Fergus Mark Roy, the new director of the gladiatorial arena......"
The latter did not stop at all because of his words, and the figure disappeared at the end of the corner.
An elder stepped out of the shadows and walked over to Fiocha, his gaze resting on the sword.
The young man respectfully said to the elder, "Father. ”
The elder looked into the distance and said softly, "There are many rumors that are not true, Boyle may not be the reckless man that people say......"
