Chapter 279: Fiancée
Ackerman, Casper, and the barbarian sisters became famous.
In the market, yesterday's battle was widely reported. The confrontation between the shield bow and the twin blades, the well-arranged tactics, the exciting fights, and of course, the indomitable will. Taken together, these elements completely detonated the Ulster's enthusiasm for gladiatorial combat.
In the "Red Circle", the way these four people fight has opened a new door for other gladiators.
As for the four parties, they sat in the utility room at the back of the arena and listened to Todd analyze the details of the battle.
Looking at the four people in front of him, Todd opened his mouth and asked, "Who came up with the opening impact?"
Ackerman raised his hand tremblingly, as if he was a little worried that the idea would not be approved. But soon, Todd's next sentence dispelled his doubts.
"It's a great idea, and at the very beginning of the fight, it was well done to use sound and momentum to grab the attention of the audience. ”
Todd's praise immediately made Ackerman puff up his chest, and his face was full of pride and joy.
"The rhythm is also well controlled, the changes in the advantages and disadvantages in the front, middle and late stages, as well as the transformation of the offensive and defensive postures, are all very good. ”
Acknowledging the merits of this game, Todd began to analyze the shortcomings.
"There's a big problem with positioning, Parri and Parni, you two need to match Casper's shield defense stance in terms of position. Ackerman, don't laugh either! Do you have to crouch down when you shoot an arrow? Can't you move and shoot? This fixed posture only causes trouble for other people's movements. ”
Ackerman lowered his head and whispered in defense: "My bow and arrow skills are not up to the level of mobile shooting......"
"Then hone your skills! There are also problems with the movement coordination between you. In a battle performance, as a belligerent, you must not only take care of your teammates, but also try to cooperate with the enemy. Parlly, come out of here!"
Looking at the barbarian woman standing in front of him, Todd found a shield and put it on his chest, and shouted at the other party, "Cut this shield!"
Parri hesitantly raised her scimitar, but finally made up her mind and slashed at the shield.
Before the others could react, a gust of wind came from where the swords and shields collided, sweeping through the utility room, blowing everything to pieces. Todd let out a muffled grunt and flew out with his torn shield, knocking down the large wooden frame where the goods were stored, and rolling on the ground as if his body had not lost his strength.
Parri froze in place, looking at the scimitar in her hand in disbelief.
"Oh my God, when did you have such power?" said Ackerman, standing up and looking at the familiar and strange woman in front of him.
"I didn't do it......"
Parri shook her head stiffly.
Standing up from the mess, Todd threw away the shattered shield in his hand, patted the dust off his body, and said to the four people who were completely stunned: "Perform! Remember! This is a show! While you complete your own actions, you must also find ways to cooperate with the enemy's actions!"
Ackerman said in a trembling voice, "What do you mean...... You did that scene just now?!"
Todd shrugged his shoulders without caring at all: "Use the palm hidden behind the shield to smash the shield, and then use this force to fall backwards." It's a very simple move, and you can do it too!"
Ackerman shook his head desperately: "No, no, no, you think too highly of us, even if this kind of action is given to me for ten years, I can't learn it." ”
Todd looked at his hands with some suspicion, and secretly wondered in his heart, is it so difficult? This kind of "fake fall" action in martial arts action movies is commonplace.
Caspar also stood up at this time and whispered, "That gust of wind pressure, and the power to shatter the shield, we can't do it." ”
Todd only remembered at this time that the four people in front of him had no abilities on their bodies, nor had they been transformed by the tyrant, so they naturally couldn't complete such an action.
But there are workarounds for everything.
He roared angrily at the four of them: "Are you stupid?! First smash the shield, then glue it with paste, and hammer it away when you use it! As for the wind pressure, you can hide a small cloth bag behind the shield, which is filled with white ash and air, and you can't just shoot it up when you need it!"
Looking at the appearance of the four of them suddenly realized, Todd strode towards the door with an expression of hatred that could not be made of steel, and Ackerman's weak question behind him made him stop.
"Lord Boyle, I have a question that I don't understand, you don't get any benefit from us, but why do you want to help us so much?"
Because you and I have had a relationship......
Of course, Todd can't say this kind of thing.
After some thought, Todd gave this answer: "It has always been my dream to change this dark and ignorant world, and you may be a force for me to push for change." ”
————————————————
Stepping into his residence, Todd saw the mysterious woman in black at first sight.
Under the lifted hood, the eyebrows are picturesque and the face is like a day.
The woman sat on the wooden bed for a long time, and when she saw Todd's appearance, she stood up quietly, bowed her head and said nothing.
Try to keep your face strained and maintain a cold posture, but Todd's heart is up and down, and he doesn't know what to say.
Who is the other party?
Did she know Boyle?
What is their relationship?
What if this woman suddenly wants to say a secret word or ask about the past?
In this way, a man and a woman invariably chose to remain silent in an extremely embarrassing atmosphere.
Seeing that more than a minute had passed, the other party still didn't have the idea of speaking, and large drops of sweat rolled down Todd's neck.
Looking at the woman who didn't say a word but refused to leave, Todd's mind turned countless ideas, and finally they were all rejected one by one.
"You still won't forgive me?"
Todd breathed a sigh of relief when the woman finally spoke, but then he had a headache again.
Forgive what?
In desperation, he had no choice but to follow the other party's words: "After the incident, asking for forgiveness is meaningless." ”
The woman's expression was gloomy, her eyes were sad, and she said bitterly: "I know that it was my father who broke his oath and canceled our engagement. But he did it all for the sake of his people......"
This woman is Boyle's fiancée?!
Todd's heart jumped, at least now he knew that there had been a marriage contract between the woman and Boyle, but the other father's objections.
Todd continued to collect information: "Since the oath has been broken, why are you coming to see me now?"
"I can intercede with the king and let him let you go. ”
Hearing the other party's words, Todd frowned and asked tentatively, "What is the price?"
The woman closed her eyes and her voice trembled: "I ......"
That bastard!
The scene in front of him, coupled with what happened to Aisha in prison, made Todd's anger rise, and his voice increased by three points: "If my freedom is obtained by the sacrifice of women, then I would rather end my life in a gladiatorial fight." ”
As if she had already guessed the other party's answer, the woman shook her head and said, "You may be able to defeat ten or a hundred enemies, but you will never be able to compete with the entire Ulster Kingdom. Next month, Connaught's envoys will arrive in Armagh, and Concierber will organize a grand celebration. I will arrange for the receivers in the Red Circle in advance, and they will take you and your people out of the kingdom on that day. ”
Todd was a little puzzled: "My people have hundreds of people, can you take them all away?"
The woman looked at Todd and nodded, "My father made an alliance with Concierber, the king provided protection for our clan, and we swore allegiance to the king. As for me, I became the king's eyeliner in the Red Circle, the Lady of Pain, Dildri. ”
