Ogres, Minotaurs, Pure-Blood Orcs, Predatory Orcs, Trolls, Dwarves......

These are all natural fighting races on the Dota Continent. In particular, ogres and minotaurs almost don't need to do any exercise and cultivation at all, as long as they can eat and drink enough, they have a strong combat power comparable to a standard Terran adventure team when they become adults.

Although after the gods seal dissociates beyond the fourth order, this gap will be quickly narrowed, at the same level of the fifth order, compared with these talented races, there is no essential difference in strength between the human race with a naturally weak physique and these talented races, and further up, although it is only a pseudo-holy domain, but how can the human race say that from time to time someone can touch the sixth order of the hurdle, and the subhuman race has begun to gradually be opened by the human race in this regard.

In the private dueling arena of the old Duke of Balzac, there were four black minotaurs with hair more than a foot long standing in a row.

Although the minotaur is not a half-orc with predatory habits, but the incomparably strong physique, tenacious endurance, and considerable numbers brought by good fecundity, coupled with a very easy to enter the madness, the omnivorous minotaur tribe even has an overall strength that is better than that of the predatory half-orcs, just because the minotaur is easy-going and tolerant in the non-mad state, indisputable, and even pedantic and stupid masochistic character, so that they are often reduced to coolies and slaves.

The four minotaur warriors in front of him were battle-hardened gladiators, and their strength was all over the third order, which was extremely rare for the subhuman race, especially the subhuman slaves with a high mortality rate. Judging by the super-heavy weapons they wield, which are generally more than two and a half meters long, no one can doubt their ability to attack and destroy.

Generally speaking, such a minotaur gladiator can definitely sell for more than 3,000 gold coins on the black market or at auction, and he will definitely not be able to get four at the same time, let alone tens of thousands of gold coins.

And the opponents of these four minotaurs, who can be called the "terminators of the gladiatorial arena", are just a teenager who will never be more than twenty years old, a Terran boy.

The elder Balzac was pleased with the game in front of him, both by the gladiator and with his viewing stand. The "chair" that the old duke sat under his ass came from a gift from a certain bigwig who was also a skull and bones club, she used to be the famous imperial concubine of a small country, and after the country broke down, she was sold to the imperial capital of Montenegro, and then "processed" into what she is now.

And one of the protagonists of the gladiatorial performance that the old duke was watching happened to be the eldest son of the imperial concubine. This strong young man was only thirteen or fourteen years old when he first arrived, young and immature like a young girl, and after being bored by the old duke, he was directly handed over to the experienced tuner for training, no, it was only more than three years, and when he saw him again, he was already a qualified gladiator covered in scars and with strong muscles like a cheetah.

Old Balzac was pleased with the look in which the young warrior looked at him, especially when he saw the chair sitting beneath him, and the urge to chew his own flesh with his teeth came straight to his face.

Come to think of it, it was precisely because of this hatred that he was able to survive the cruel course that the trainer thought was impossible, and in just over three years, he crossed countless bottlenecks and reached a height that many aristocratic teenagers of the same age could never reach in their lifetime, and then stood in front of him again.

As long as he thought about the fate that this lovely boy was about to face in the near future, old Balzac felt excited, especially fantasizing about what this child had been thinking about day and night for more than three years, and when he thought he was about to succeed, he was struck by the cruel reality again, and the moment when hope was completely disillusioned, as long as he imagined the expression on his face at that time, the old duke began to gasp with excitement, and even the part of his body, which had been dead for many years, began to have the feeling of "raising his head" again.

This was the old duke's greatest interest, but as a nobleman with the oldest noble blood, he certainly did not behave rudely because of his own petty interest, especially in front of guests.

Beside the old duke sat two other men, one very young and handsome like the stars in the sky, while the other looked a little older than the old duke, and was filled with a dead air that even thick cosmetics could not completely hide. But in any case, being able to sit here with the old duke and enjoy this incredibly expensive gladiatorial performance itself means that these two guests will not be ordinary.

"Lao Ba, this young man you trained is very good, he can have the strength close to the fourth-order warrior at a young age, and it is rare that he has a beautiful face, and he is ruined like this, don't you really feel distressed? No matter how I look at it, he can't be the opponent of the four minotaurs I brought, although he has good potential, but after all, he is not a fifth-order war king now. ”

As soon as the dying old man spoke, the old duke could almost feel the heartache and sadness coming from the chair under him, which was not impossible, because the imperial concubine was not really dead, or not completely dead, she was just processed by necromancy and turned into a "strange object" between life and death, that is, not a living person, nor a "strange object" of the dead, in a way, she even had semi-permanent youth and immortality.

"Beautiful and perfect things, the moment when they are completely destroyed is the most exciting, don't you think so? Lord Barcelona......" The old duke had a smile on his face, although he was answering the old Barcelona beside him, but his eyes turned to look at the young man beside him, and said with a chuckle: "Your Royal Highness Prince Davis, I believe that your father, our great Majesty Durontal, will also agree with my idea, because in my opinion, he is even better than me in this regard." I've been preparing for today's show for more than three years, and that Your Majesty, how long has he been preparing to publicly slaughter the first beauty in the continent in order to destroy that bewitching jewel?"

The young man sitting next to the old duke suddenly turned out to be the first in line to the throne of the current Empire, the crown prince of the Empire, Davis Nibelungen.

Faced with the old duke's naked temptation, Crown Prince Davis just smiled faintly and said: " That Earl Amanda, although he did have a little fame, but after all, he was only from a lowly family of executioners, let alone an ancient and noble bloodline, strictly speaking, he could not even be regarded as a true nobleman, but it was only because of my father's favor that he was given a status and rights that were completely inconsistent with his status, and now, my father wants to take that glory back, and he will not complain if he thinks of it. ”

"However, how did I hear that the lowly executioner family, those little guys surnamed Xiuwen, have not been very peaceful recently, it is rare that Your Majesty will give their family such a high honor as the execution of the 'family stain', but they have betrayed Your Majesty's trust, and they actually want to do something out of the posture. ”

Davis's brows furrowed, he was invited to enjoy this gladiatorial performance, although he had guessed that these old guys must have some intentions, but he didn't expect it to be so direct, obviously the Skull and Bones Society had mastered something important, and was no longer satisfied with just acting as a spectator in this imperial capital.

For the "Skull and Bones Society", the imperial family has always loved and hated, and the reason why they love it is because almost every emperor who successfully ascends to the supreme throne has the shadow of the "Skull and Bones Society", the oldest secret society in the empire, behind them. And the reason why he hates him is because no emperor, even the tyrant of the current throne, can escape the constraints and interference of the Skull and Bones Society. Even if Durontar the Great is one of the very few contenders to the throne who has defeated the Skull Guild, the supreme ruler who succeeds in ascending to the throne will have the same fate.

A low-level earl who was born as an executioner, even if he was deeply favored by the emperor, was once in power, but in the eyes of the shadow bosses of the Skull and Bones Society, he was just a clown, and I don't know how many little people like this have appeared in the history of the empire. Their rise and fall are like a brilliant firework in the eyes of these Skull and Bones Club bosses, but now that old Balzac is biting Count Amanda and the executioner Xiuwen family, even Prince Davis is beginning to wonder if these old guys have special information that they don't even know about.

But as mentioned before, the transition to the throne is almost impossible to escape the interference of the Skull and Bones Society, and his first heir to the throne seems to be only one small step away from the supreme position, that is, the death of the tyrant who fears the emperor.

However, Prince Davis knows very well how he came to be the first in line, after Durontal the Great succeeded to the throne, there were three "first in line heirs" in front of Prince Davis, two uncles and one sister, but they failed to survive the death of the tyrant of the terror, Davis of course did not want to be "formerly", or the "fourth" first in line of succession, so he could only choose to accept the olive branch that these old monsters took the initiative to hand to him.

With a decision in his heart, Davis said slowly: "Actually, to be honest, even I can't figure out what my father, the high-ranking Emperor His Majesty is thinking about now, even if he trusts an executioner, but he is ready to officially marry that kind of 'thing' as the mother of a country, in my opinion, even my father, who is already called the 'mad king' and 'tyrant' behind his back, is really a little hasty in dealing with this matter." ”

Crown Prince Davis was gambling, having defeated the Skull and Bones Society's candidate for the throne, and the successful ascension to the throne of Durothal the Great has always been a thorn in the side of the Skull and Bones Society, and over the years, Durothal the Great has indeed eliminated several official members of the Skull and Bones Society by means that he has almost gone mad, but just enough to reach the limit of the Skull Society's tolerance, and the person with the prosthetic hand is the Count Amanda Huwen. Even the nobility of the imperial capital unanimously believed that Amanda's public execution was a sacrifice made by the emperor on his own initiative to appease the anger of the Skull and Bones Society.

If Crown Prince Davis wants to succeed on the throne, there are only two ways to choose, one is to win the love and trust of the emperor's father, and the other is to gain the support of the Skull and Bones Society.

Originally, the first option was the safest, but for the father who had many negative titles, Davis has always had an indescribable fear in his heart, which not only comes from the father's murderous and madness, but also from Davis's incomprehensible and unpredictable behavior of his father.

It seemed that no common sense, any "taken for granted" could be applied to his father, and everything Durothal did was very close to the judgment of the aristocratic analysts, including Prince Davis.

Rather than risk provoking the Emperor at any time to attract his father's favor and attention, it is better to turn to the Empire's oldest secret society, and anyway, the thoughts of these old immortals, their desires and purposes are all clearly written on their faces. Compared to successfully sitting in the chair that symbolizes supreme power, it is not intolerable to give up some of the royal interests in the future, even if it is a little compromise with these old bastards.
