Chapter 180: Useless in the face of power
Five or six minutes later, more than a dozen deep scars from the spear tip swept through Soronis's body, and the yellow sand nearby was stained crimson with his blood.
It is estimated that the time is almost up, and Li Nan does not want to continue this cruel game, so he begins to play a heavy hand.
The heavy spear in Li Nan's hand struck twice in succession, shattering the kneecaps of Soronis's legs with precision, and then swept across with a spear that sliced open his lower abdomen with the sharp tip of the spear.
Soronis fell to his knees with a thud, threw away the sword and shield in his hand, and covered the wound in his lower abdomen.
The dying Soronis looked at Li Nan in front of him, smiled miserably, and said: "Serresian, I know you hate me as a Roman, but your master Quintus is a hundred times more evil than me, even if it is you, you will end up dead without a place to be buried." ”
In the empty arena, no one could hear what the two people were saying, so Li Nan said calmly: "I know who Quintus is, don't worry, soon, he will also follow in your footsteps." ”
Seeing the killing intent and determination in Li Nan's eyes, Zoronis looked up to the sky and laughed with satisfaction.
Li Nan picked up the short sword on the yellow sand with his toes, and with a powerful swing of his right arm, he cut off Soronis's head......
Looking at Li Nan, who was holding Soronis's head in the arena, the wife of the administrator of Kravis, breathed a sigh of relief, and she said gratefully to Ludia beside her: "The gods have blessed you with such an excellent husband, if it weren't for his help, I'm afraid this murderer would still be at large." ”
Ludia's face is not thin, but when she heard the other party's words, she also felt that her heart was weak and her face was hot, and she didn't know what to say.
At this time, Elixia, who had disappeared for several days, suddenly walked over, and Ludia quickly changed the topic and said, "Honey, where have you been lately?" ”
Elisia smiled and replied, "Didn't you tell me to go to Rome to invite those friends of famous nobles, I have already done it, didn't you just come back?" ”
Ludia was pleased with her answer, but something wasn't right with Elicia's current condition.
When the accident happened a few days ago, Elicia was still in the same panicked and helpless manner, but now she has returned to her original arrogant appearance of being high above and looking down on anyone.
There were so many people in the main stand that Ludia could only suppress the doubts in her heart and wait for the game to end.
Quintus, who got rid of Kravis, the administrator who was hindering his entry into politics, and planted the blame for his enemy Soronis, was very satisfied with his wits and plans.
When Quintus and Ludia returned home after leaving the arena, they were surprised to find General Grebo and Elder Anubis waiting for them.
Quintus looked at Elicia hesitantly, a little confused as to what was going on.
Elder Anubis sat in his chair and drank wine, and General Grebo, contrary to his previous arrogant attitude, smiled and exchanged a few words with Quintus before he said:
"My beautiful wife, Elisia, told me that the best and best gladiators in all of Rome came from the family of Batitas. It just so happened that I was going to hold a tournament in Rome to please the stupid populace, so I made a special trip to Capua. ”
"Oh." Hearing this, Quintus relieved his heart and said with great joy: "Your Excellency, General, you are right, the Rudes Training Ground is full of talents, and there are two champions in Capua alone, and one of them has even defeated the god-level gladiator Death Shadow!" ”
Grebo said with a smile: "It's useless to talk too much, call them all out, let me see them with my own eyes." ”
Quintus didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly ordered the slaves around him to let all the gladiators come to the living room for Grabo and the others to appreciate.
A few minutes later, all the gladiators arrived in handcuffs, standing in neat rows.
Among so many slaves, the one that caught Grebo's attention the most was naturally Spartacus, whom he captured with his own hands and failed to execute.
He slowly walked in front of Spartacus, looked at him and sneered: "You Thracian brute is not dead yet, and you have done other things, which is really unexpected to me. ”
If it had been placed when he first came, Spartacus, who had a violent and impulsive personality, would definitely rush up to strangle the bastard Grebe, but he has indeed changed a lot now, he knows that if he provokes anyone, Quintus will take all his revenge on his wife Sula, so in the face of Grabo's insulting ridicule, he still maintains a steady attitude and does not say a word.
"Get on your knees!" Grebo yelled.
After a few seconds of hesitation, when Spartacus saw Sula beside Quintus, he chose to give in and honestly knelt in front of his enemy, Grebo.
"Hahaha, Quintus, you are really good, you actually trained this beast so obediently."
Quintus smirked and said, "I have a specialization in the art industry, and I am still relatively experienced in dealing with these slaves." ”
Glebo looked at Quintus with a strange smile on his face, "Okay, then let's start with this Thracian and take off his handcuffs." ”
At Quintus's signal, Docott unshackled Spartacus's hand, and Pylos took out a training wooden sword from the box he was carrying and handed it to him.
Quintus pointed to the gladiator camp and asked, "General Grebeau, who do you want to choose to fight against Spartacus?" ”
"Nope." Grabo waved his hand and said, "I've seen a lot of fights between gladiators, and I'd like to see something else." ”
"Array!"
Following Grabo's order, dozens of elite Roman regular soldiers wearing armor and dragging red cloaks behind them appeared in the hall.
Such a formation was unexpected by Quintus, and he hurriedly reminded: "Dear General Grebeau, Spartacus has a wooden sword in his hand, and he wants to fight against these heavily armed soldiers, and it seems that he has fallen into trouble without a battle." ”
"I know. But when Spartacus was able to defeat four gladiators in the execution in the arena and get a chance to survive, then I think he can also perform miracles today. ”
Ignoring Quintus, Grebo held out a finger at the soldiers.
A Roman soldier drew his sharp dagger at his waist and launched an attack on Spartacus.
Although he only had a wooden sword in his hand, with his superb fighting skills, Spartacus knocked the Roman soldier unconscious in three moves.
The matter was not over, General Grebo held out two fingers, so this time it was two soldiers who rushed out with swords swinging......
The battle went on, and when Grebo stretched out ten fingers, Spartacus finally began to be wounded, and in order to survive he could not keep his hands any longer, and soon ten badly wounded soldiers fell to the ground.
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
General Grabble and Elder Anubis were the first to applaud, followed by applause from the others for Spartacus' performance.
Quintus, who breathed a sigh of relief, was about to speak to end this unfair competition, but the patriarch Anubis, who was sitting on the side, preemptively said: "I feel that gladiator competitions, if there is no death and blood, are always not enjoyable, now I want to see a real life-and-death battle between slaves, Quintus, can you meet this request?" ”
Hearing Anubis's words, Quintus had a faint feeling in his heart that something was wrong, but he couldn't resist the patriarch, so he could only respond: "The Batitas family is willing to serve you, please choose who will participate in the war." ”
Looking at his most beloved daughter sitting beside him, Anubis said, "Elixia, you are familiar with the Batitas family, so you can choose an opponent for Spartacus." ”
Elisia stood up and walked in front of the crowd of gladiators.
Her gaze did not look at the slaves, but at the demeanor of her good sister Ludia, and when she came to a gladiator, she found that Ludia's body was slightly straight, her hands were clenched in her skirt, and she immediately smiled slightly.
"I chose Kress to play Spartacus in a life-and-death match, only one side can survive this game!"
