Chapter 290: The Great Escape (6)

Cotton's corpse was scattered on the ground, and the sound of giant wolves gnawing flesh and crushing bones echoed over the gladiatorial arena, sending everyone to the creeps.

Someone recognized the true face of these monsters - war beasts.

Panic spread like a plague in an instant.

The terrified spectators shouted and screamed to get up from their seats and scrambled to the rear exit.

As for the gladiators on the field, they were only a dozen meters away from the wolves, and they were already overwhelmed by the bloody scene in front of them.

"Cunning Fox" Beisen was the first to react, and he whispered to the people around him: "Don't make any noise, take advantage of these war beasts not noticing us, and slowly retreat." ”

Everyone retreated as they were told, and before they had taken a few steps, one of them turned around and ran away because he couldn't bear the tragic situation in front of him.

An alert giant wolf, noticing the strangeness in front of him, raised his head to look at the prey not far away, raised his head to the sky and let out a long roar, and the other monsters stopped eating one after another and turned their heads in the direction of the gladiator.

"Oh,!" Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, Beson turned around and ran.

As he ran, he took out several throwing knives from his arms, and threw them without hesitation, attacking not the giant wolf behind him, but the thighs or insteps of the gladiators around him, using the lives of these companions to buy himself time to escape.

Todra led Dildre to the wall at the end of the gladiatorial arena, with a towering wall in front of him and a pack of wolves getting closer and closer.

Looking at the trembling woman beside him, Todd looked around anxiously, with only one thought in his heart, what to do next?

There was a scream in the distance, and several more gladiators were chased by the giant wolf, and they were dismembered in an instant.

At this moment of life and death, an item suddenly appeared in his sight, which made Todd's eyes light up.

The chain that was removed from the winch.

"Stay here and wait for me to come back!" Todd left Deirdre where he was, and he sped toward the chain in the center of the field.

Rolling on the ground and strapping the chain on his back, Todd began to run back to Deirdre's side at full speed.

Tie one end of the chain into a slipknot, and Todd aimed it at the iron bar at the top of the fence and threw it hard.

The gladiators who escaped from the giant wolf died one after another, leaving only the "cunning fox" Bessen alone, still running for his life.

Seeing Todd take the chain, Besson instantly understood his plan, changed direction and fled in their direction.

Just when Beson was still a dozen steps away from Todd, seeing that the latter had already tied up the chain, the former's eyes flashed with a trace of viciousness, and he took out three throwing knives in his hand and threw them forward.

The knife cut a straight line through the air and stabbed Todd in the back.

Ding Ding Ding!

Contrary to what Beson had expected, the knives hit Todd's back, making a sound of hitting metal, and they were all bounced to the ground.

Todd glanced back at Beson, his eyes cold and his unkind expression, which made the latter shudder and dare not make a mistake.

Holding Deirdre, Todd asked her to climb the chain and climb over the stands behind the wall, then he picked up his sword and shield on the ground and climbed up as well, with Besson following him and the last to climb the stands.

Looking at the roaring wolves under the wall, Dildre, who had survived the disaster, happily asked Todd, "Are we safe?"

To Dildri's surprise, Todra took her hand and ran at full speed to the exit of the spectator stand, shouting, "No! it's too early to say it's safe!"

The facts bear out Todd's words.

The spiked wolves pressed their front paws against the wall, their razor-sharp claws piercing into the stone wall, causing the beasts to climb up the wall.

As early as the end of the Battle of the Northern Rock, Huggins gave a detailed description of the war beasts of the northern barbarians in his report to Todd, which focused on describing this giant wolf that could climb walls.

Seeing that the giant wolf would soon be able to climb the stands, Todra Deirdri, followed by "Cunning Fox" Beson, and the three of them ran towards the exit of the aisle at the back of the stands.

When they actually came to the exit of the stands, the three of them were stunned by the scene in front of them.

People, people everywhere.

The spectators who should have escaped from the venue were all stranded here. In the narrow aisles and the small square in front of the gate, people rubbed shoulders one after another, and at least a thousand people gathered.

Amid the noise and shouting, Beson shook the crowd in front of him and scolded loudly: "Are you people crazy? Why don't you run away?!"

Someone pointed to the gate in despair, and at this time, Beson realized that the gate of the stands had been blocked long after the spectators entered.

This also means that the thousands of people in this small space will soon be reduced to food for the wolves.

"Those war beasts have climbed the stands. Queen Maeve looked condescendingly, and said to Concierber in a long tone, "The door to the grandstand is still closed, and you still don't plan to order it to open?"

Concierber's eyes were red, like a wounded beast, and he took a big sip of red wine without saying a word.

"That gladiator and his lover may die from the wolf's mouth, but many more people will die as well, so is that okay?"

"There will always be sacrifices......"

Concier's almost merciless words drew Maeve with disdain.

In front of the gate of the stands, the people patted on the door, and the cries for help, pleading, and praying of men, women, the elderly, and children were mixed together, and even if they were hundreds of meters away, they could hear it clearly.

Besson shook the latch like mad and screamed, "I can't die here!"

I don't know who shouted at this time: "The wolves have climbed the stands!"

The people who heard this became even more confused, some tried to climb the ten-meter-high outer wall in vain, and some knelt on the ground, praying to the gods for the coming of the savior.

Todd placed Dildrier in an uninhabited corner at the end of the aisle, and listened to the howl of wolves not far away, and he quietly untied his dagger and shield from his back.

Without too much exhortation, no sensational words, just a "wait for me," Todd stood up and strode to the entrance of the aisle.

As Todd walked, he shouted at the crowd behind him, "Cunning Fox Beson!, I know you can hear me, if you don't want to die, get over here and hold the intersection with me!"

Todd's shouts attracted everyone's attention, and the people stopped crying and shouting as they watched the gladiator resolutely walk towards the wolves, and their eyes lit up with reverence and gratitude.

After closing his eyes for a few seconds, Todd opened them again, the shield in his left hand was raised to his chest, and the dagger in his right hand was hidden at his side, while he glanced back at the aisle behind him.

This aisle is three meters high, two meters wide, and has a total length of about eleven meters, and is the only access to the exit of the stands. As long as you can hold this place, you can ensure the safety of the people in the square in front of the door.

Soon, the first mutated giant wolf appeared in Todd's field of vision.

The swift, sharp-toothed monster leapt from the edge of the stands and pounced on the gladiators at the aisle below.

Todd used his shield to firmly block the giant wolf's claw blows, his body slid backwards fifty centimeters due to the huge inertia, and then he swung the shield violently, slamming it on the giant wolf's jaw, taking advantage of the moment when the opponent was stunned, stabbing the blade of the short sword into the enemy's throat.

Then, the second and third giant wolves that rushed to attack at the same time.

Todd took a small step back, and while the two wolves were still in the air, he stabbed his dagger at one of them in the chest.

A beast's wail was heard down the aisle. Some brave spectators, with trembling steps, came to the end of the aisle, sticking their heads out to see what was going on.

Seeing Todd fighting with the wolves, and the two wolf corpses on the ground, these spectators exclaimed excitedly: "Oh my God! It's the Red Champion!

At the same time, on the high viewing platform, Queen Maeve covered her chest with her hands while watching the fierce battle taking place at the aisle, and sincerely exclaimed, "I have never seen a man like this...... This is a true warrior!"

Concierge stared at the figure fighting bravely among the wolves, gritted his teeth and said, "He won't last long!"

As the number of giant wolves appearing at the crossings increases, Todd has to step back, taking advantage of the terrain to reduce the number of enemies fighting at the same time.

First, the shield slashed downward, shattering the Celestial Cover of a giant wolf, and then the dagger stabbed out, plunging into the eye socket of another foe. A giant wolf crawling forward on the ground, seeing the opportunity, stretched out its claws from the gap under the shield and put its claws on Todd's calf, leaving three deep wounds.

The wounded Todd was unsteady on his feet and fell to the ground, but unexpectedly, a giant wolf took the opportunity to jump over his head and run into the aisle, and was about to pounce on the innocent people.

A throwing knife struck the giant wolf in the chest, and a dagger stabbed into the heart of the fish that had slipped through the net.

The person who threw the knife was Besson the Fox, and it was Deirdre who wielded the dagger.

The two came up behind Todd and began to act as a support force to help the former deal with the wolves.

Seeing this scene, some of the enthusiastic people could no longer remain indifferent, they removed the chairs from the stands, picked up the stones on the ground, and joined the ranks of the war beasts.

A tragic battle involving the life and death of thousands of people took place in this narrow aisle, where people pinned their lives on the sword and shield of a gladiator, but also witnessed the birth of a hero's legend.

Twenty minutes later, the hallway was filled with the corpses of mutated wolves, the stone walls on both sides were stained red with blood, and the stone slabs beneath their feet flowed with enough blood to cover the instep of their feet.

Amid the earth-shattering cheers and praises of the people, Todd, who had become a 'blood man' all over his body, calmly walked through the aisle to the closed gate at the exit.

People looked at this gladiator who guarded the weak with his life and honor, cast his eyes of worship from the bottom of his heart, and offered his most sincere blessings without hesitation.

Tossing the sword and shield in his hand to the ground, Todd touched the door of the exit with his hand.

Under everyone's bewildered gaze, Todd took a few steps back, then kicked his feet on the ground, his body hitting the door like a cannonball.

Looking at this scene in front of him, the "cunning fox" Beson was dumbfounded: "Could he be trying to hit away with his body...... It's crazy!"

Even those who have watched Todd take on the wolves alone believe that the act is completely futile.

Of all the people, only Deirdre said with a firm look in his eyes: "No!

As his body retreated, run, and collided again, Todd's speed became faster and stronger, and the impact sound became louder and louder.

In the end, every time he hit with a battering ram, the ground shook and the walls trembled.

People have also changed from initial doubts to endless fanaticism.

"Red Champion!"

"Red Champion!"

Under the shouts and cheers and the crazy collision again and again, the door at the exit fell to the ground with a bang.

The long-lost light poured into the crowd, and fresh air refilled the lungs.

Beson looked at the back of the man immersed in the light, and muttered to himself, "Maybe those guys are right, he may really be the incarnation of the god of war......"

While everyone was still rejoicing that they had survived, a group of soldiers surrounded the exit and pointed their spears and bows at the people.

The commander shouted to the crowd: "By the king's order, we have come to arrest the rebel leader Boyle, and the traitor Dildri......!

"You bastards!" a high-ranking Ulster nobleman in a fancy costume stood up, pointed at the soldiers in front of him, and scolded: "We've been locked up in it for so long! When we're about to turn into monster food, where are you sons of bitches?!

The indignant populace shouted accusations, and some of the grumpy people even picked up stones from the ground and threw them at the soldiers.

"Get out of here, lackeys of the tyrant!"

"Shame on Ulster!"

"Shameless murderer, I will make a poem of your crimes, and let the bards sing about them in every kingdom of the North!"

Todd took Deirdri's hand, looked at the chaos in front of him, and was thinking about a way to get out. An old man beside him suddenly took off his robe and handed it to him: "Red Champion, put this on quickly." ”

Another lady also took off her expensive cloak and wrapped it around Dildri's body.

The crowd didn't know who shouted, "Rush out!"

Hundreds of people guarded Todd and Deirdre in the middle, and rushed to the soldiers in formation, who broke up the formation of the army and ran into the streets of the kingdom.

When the army commander came to his senses and tried to look for the prisoner again, Todd and Deirdre were no longer to be found in the vast sea of people.
