Blindly reminiscing about the past is not Bai Feng's style, but after a short memory, the confident Bai Feng put all his energy into visiting the arena;
I don't know when Bai Feng and the second daughter in the governor's mansion have become more and more like a family, as long as Bai Feng is in Rome City, no matter how busy he is, he will return to the governor's mansion before dinner and have dinner with them.
And Yue'er and Binglan never ate by themselves first, once or twice, Bai Feng delayed coming back on time for dinner in the evening because of something with other generals, and they waited until Bai Feng came back to have dinner with Bai Feng.
The empty governor's mansion became more and more warm in the tacit companionship of the three of them, and even Bai Feng found more than once that the relationship between Yue'er and Binglan was much more harmonious than before.
The life principle of home and everything is not very suitable for Bai Feng, Yue'er, and Binglan, but the warm governor's mansion has indeed become Bai Feng's home in the true sense, so that Bai Feng, who is used to being busy, can also feel the warmth of home at any time.
In the few days after returning to Rome from the Essini Kingdom, Bai Feng was not only busy with military affairs every day, but also sometimes took time out to accompany Yue'er and Binglan to enjoy the flowers and take a walk, maintaining this hard-won warmth with them.
After putting away the nostalgia and warmth in his heart, Bai Feng walked into this crowded arena under the escort of three retinues, and in the city of Rome, Bai Feng, the governor, looked like all the citizens had seen more than once, and the guards in the arena were the same.
Therefore, when Bai Feng came to the gate of the arena with his entourage, the guard in charge of guarding the door not only did not stop him, but instead went to inform the person in charge of the arena and welcomed Bai Feng and his party in very respectfully.
At this time, the arena is performing three gladiators teaming up to deal with five hungry tigers, the fierce tigers, the king of beasts in the jungle, and the hungry are the terrifying enemies of the frenzied hunt.
Three not-so-strong gladiators, each armed with a dagger and a shield, gave each other their backs under the pressure of the five tigers, as if this was the only way to resist the siege of the five tigers, who were outnumbered.
Accustomed to being alone, the tiger gave up his dignity as the king of beasts in the face of extreme hunger, and chose to cooperate with his own kind to deal with the three humans in front of him, who did not look like ordinary prey.
The tense and exciting atmosphere below the arena sent the crowd packed in the stands into a frenzy, desperately shouting the names of the gladiators they supported, urging them to attack the tigers inside.
The urging of the audience did not affect the mood of the three gladiators in the slightest, and they were still vigilant against the attack of the tigers, rather than taking the lead in launching an attack on the tigers, in case they fell into the siege of the multi-headed tigers.
The cheers and shouts from the stands soon angered the five tigers who were eyeing them, and they couldn't understand why the weak humans in the stands were not afraid of their claws and majesty.
They opened their jaws in rage, trying to rush to the stands and bite the humans above, but unfortunately, at a height of more than twenty meters, they had to use the three humans in front of them as their only prey.
The tense confrontation lasted less than five minutes, and the impatient five tigers finally took the lead in attacking the gladiators who were surrounded by them.
As they dispersed, one of the gladiators used his shield to block the claws of a tiger, and then took the opportunity to stab another tiger in the neck with his short sword, and in just a moment, one tiger was killed on the spot!
Splatters of blood made the spectators in the stands even more excited, shouting the name of the gladiator as a way to vent their passion and relieve the stress they had to endure on a daily basis.
The other two dodging gladiators were less fortunate than the formidable gladiator, one of whom was torn in the back by a tiger that pounced on him, and the other was attacked by another tiger while dodging a tiger.
The two tigers worked together to leave bloody wounds on the gladiator's arms and legs, and the smell of blood made the remaining four tigers turn their attacks on the almost incapacitated gladiator.
The fighting in the arena was brutal and bloody, and the spectators in the stands not only showed no sympathy for the gladiator, but also shouted with excitement when the gladiator was besieged by a four-headed tiger.
Bai Feng, who was in the middle of the crowd, didn't even know whether these people wanted to watch the gladiators kill the tigers, or whether they wanted to watch the tigers hunt the gladiators, perhaps, everyone who came to the arena was just chasing the excitement of this kind of fighting.
The battle in the arena continued, and in just a few breaths, the gladiator who had lost his combat ability was torn apart by the four-headed tiger that pounced on him, and the remaining two gladiators just watched indifferently and tried to find an opportunity to sneak up on the tiger.
As it turned out, the tiger that tore at the prey did show flaws, and the gladiator who killed a tiger at the beginning soon killed another tiger again, which was already his second prey in this battle.
The killing of the two tigers made the name of this gladiator resound throughout the arena, and it was only at this time that Bai Feng could determine that this gladiator with good performance had a name that shocked Bai Feng - Thales.
This Thales is not Pyrrhus, but Bai Feng is still full of affection for the gladiator with this name, if he can survive this battle, then Bai Feng will not mind keeping an extra retinue by his side, the same retinue as Bai Sheng and the others!
Thales's strength did not seem to be as strong as Bai Feng imagined, he did not kill five tigers unscathed, but killed four tigers at the cost of heavy injuries, and the last tiger was killed by the gladiator who was injured earlier.
This fierce life-and-death struggle ended with the killing of the five tigers one by one, and the unfinished audience was still excitedly discussing the wonderful fight just now when they dispersed in twos and threes.
After confirming that the arena had no special role for the time being, Bai Feng returned to the Governor's Mansion with Bai Sheng and Darnell, and Maxi, who was left behind, was responsible for returning to the Governor's Mansion with Thales later.
