Nearly half of the gladiators in the entire "Red Circle" came to the square.

Todd, who had just finished sighing with an extremely heavy burden on his shoulders, had to face the pressure of more than 300 people invisibly.

"You ......"

With that one word, Todd didn't know what he was going to say next.

A North Island warrior, who was blind in his right eye and covered in scars, stood up from the crowd and said loudly: "I am not afraid of death, but I would rather die on the battlefield of the charge than in a cage for people to see!"

In the echo of everyone, another barbarian strong man with oil paint tattoo stood up: "Lord Boyle, your prestige and kindness have long been spread to all tribes, and we are willing to swear to the ancient gods in exchange for your protection with loyalty and life!"

Seeing that everyone was still gossiping about something, Todd stretched out his hands and pressed them down, signaling everyone to be calm.

"I understand that no one wants to end their life hastily, and if at the moment of death, looking back, life is just a meaningless wasted time, then what is the difference between it and a walking dead body?" Todd's voice echoed throughout the square, and everyone couldn't stop nodding and agreeing.

Sighing, Todd continued: "I will do my best to teach you everything about combat shows, not for vanity, but for life. ”

After receiving Todd's promise, the crowd cheered, and some even fell to their knees, shouting about the good deeds of the champion of the Red Crown.

Turning back to the house, looking at Ackerman, who was flushed, Todd said viciously, "Didn't you say that these people are your friends?

Ackerman's face suddenly fell: "Everyone, there are more than 300 people outside!"

Caspar glanced at him, "You deserve it." ”

In the following days, Todd simply started a big class in the training ground on the next floor of the gladiatorial arena.

Recall and recreate the action scenes from movies and games in the soul space about past lives. Todd started with basic moves and positioning, separated each part of the combat performance, and taught the gladiators who came to the class by means of theoretical knowledge and practical operation.

Next, pick out a lot of highly entertaining combat moves, such as Wrath of Sparta from the God of War series, Blade Dance from the Devil May Cry series, and Assassination from the Assassin's Creed series, and use the moves to inspire these students so that they can combine and match their own gladiatorial skills.

Finally, according to the schedule arranged by the gladiatorial arena, Todd will conduct assault training specifically for those gladiators who are about to appear. Movements, positions, weapons and even expressions, he tries his best to ensure that these people can bring the greatest sensory enjoyment to the audience and get the best viewing effect.

More than half a month later, there were some obvious changes in the "Red Circle".

The first is the change of gladiators, more and more gladiators are learning from Todd, except for those minority elements who adhere to the "fighting tradition" and refuse to compromise, everyone else, men, women and children, regardless of gender, gather under the Red Champion, who have exchanged their loyalty and oath for the opportunity to learn and survive the gladiatorial fight.

Then there was a change in the audience, and the people who came to watch the "Red Circle" were pleasantly surprised to find that the battle between gladiators was no longer a boring hack and slash, but in terms of action and tactics, there was obvious progress and improvement. The battles have become more intense, the fights have become more exciting, and the spectacle of gladiatorial battles has skyrocketed. More and more people come to Ama City from all over the world to watch the gladiatorial fights. Some of the battles are particularly exciting, and there are even sky-high ticket prices.

Then there is the economic situation of the "red circle", when the previous director was alive, the financial situation of the gladiatorial arena was in deficit for a whole year (a veritable red circle). Since Todd introduced the battle show, the number of spectators has skyrocketed, and ticket prices have risen rapidly, which has ignited the vitality of the entire gladiatorial arena and solved the urgent need of "Red Circle" from the side.

Finally, these changes have also caused some people to be dissatisfied. Like what...... The king's confidant, Fogar.

In the council chamber of the Ulster Palace, Concheurber looked at the chest full of gold coins in front of him, and his mouth could not close with a smile.

"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it! Fergus's son, that younger brother of mine, actually has such a good management skill! It turned a loss-making gladiatorial arena into a cash cow!"

With this, the king glanced mockingly at his henchman Fogal, and then put his hand into the box, picked up a handful full of gold coins, and let them fall with a clang.

Fogal stared at the box of gold coins in front of him, his face pale.

When he heard that the king had given Fiocha the position of director of the gladiatorial arena, his first reaction was that the boy who could only wield swords and swords would make the operation of the "Red Circle" worse one day. When things got out of hand, he proposed to the king to take over, not only to take advantage of the situation to attack his political rival and Fiocha's father, Fergus, but also to consolidate his position in the king's heart.

But I never expected that the gladiatorial battle of the "Red Circle" had become popular recently, and even the Kingdom of Connaught in the far east had many citizens come to watch.

Thinking of the reason behind this incident, Fogal rolled his eyes and complimented the king: "Speaking of which, Your Majesty has used people wisely and sent Fiocha to manage the gladiatorial arena. ”

Concierber, who had selectively forgotten his original intention, patted his belly and laughed: "That's right, that younger brother of mine is so capable! I have long been optimistic that he can take on this position!"

Fugar laughed a few times, and then asked with some confusion: "But it's a little strange that Fiocha is usually not proficient in these financial and operational matters......

Concierber was stunned for a moment, followed Fergal's train of thought, and said, "That's his father, and Fergus is helping him...... Not right......"

Everyone in the kingdom knows that Fergus likes to have fun and entertainment on weekdays, and basically does not care about mundane affairs, otherwise he would not have given up the throne in the first place.

Concierge lowered his head and pondered, "So who exactly is helping Fiocha run the gladiatorial arena?"

Furgar looked at the ceiling and pretended to be careless and said, "I heard that the prisoner named Boyle has been quite active in the 'Red Circle' recently. ”

Suspicious, Concierge sat back on the throne, put his chin in his hand and said, "Tell me more." ”

He gathered a large group of gladiators who were greedy for life and afraid of death, designed combat movements, choreographed battle details, and deceived the audience with fake gladiatorial fights, so as to achieve the purpose of winning people's hearts. ”

Fugar paused for a moment, waiting for the king to digest the news a little, and then said softly: "In the entire gladiatorial arena, there are about more than four hundred gladiators, who have been absorbed into his name. ”

Startled, Concierber got up from his chair and shouted, "Four hundred, won't Fioca control over this kind of thing?"

Fergar lowered his eyelids and elongated his voice, "yes, why doesn't Lord Fiocha bother?"

Sweat slowly seeped from the top of the king's head.

"Could it be...... Impossible!" Concierge refuted his deepest fears in a loud voice: "Fergus loved my mother so much that he even gave up the throne for this, and he would not betray me!"

Fergar shrugged: "Lord Fergus may not be interested in the throne, but what about his son Fiocha?"

Concierber's body stiffened in place.

The royal blood has always been the biggest taboo in his heart.

At that time, Fergus, who was the brother of the previous king, gave up the throne because of love, and at the request of the queen, passed the crown to the queen's illegitimate son Concierber. This act, itself in the kingdom of Ulster, caused a lot of opposition.

People have questioned how a person who does not have the orthodox blood of the royal family can sit on the throne?!

Therefore, Fiocha's desire to seize the throne is not only reasonable in the eyes of others, but even supported by the majority of people.

And this 'younger brother', who has taken the lead in righteousness and reputation, only lacks one thing - the army.

And the emergence of Boyle just makes up for this shortcoming.

Thinking of this, cold sweat soaked the back of Concierge's placket, and he shouted loudly: "Immediately remove Fiocha's position as director of the gladiatorial arena! Let him go home!"

"Your Majesty, this is not appropriate. Fergal touched his gray beard and said calmly: "Fiocha did not make any mistakes, and if he was suddenly transferred from his position, you would be called a jealous talent." ”

Like an angry lion, Concierb yelled at Vergar, "Then what do you say I should do?!

"If you want to extinguish a blazing bonfire, watering is not the best way, and taking away the wood that is used as fuel is the root cause of the problem. ”

"What do you mean?!"

"What will provide Fiocha with the strength of the army is the 'Red Circle' gladiatorial arena, and what we need to do is to get rid of the leaders of the gladiators and make those people scattered again. ”

Concierber slumped back on his throne and slowly repeated Vergar's suggestion: "Get rid of the leader of the gladiators?"

The latter looked at the king, nodded slightly, and said: "At the end of this month, in order to celebrate the victory in the south, the envoys of Connaught will come to the kingdom, and we can prepare a gladiatorial battle for those people at the celebration, a gladiatorial battle that can never be won......"
