From the very beginning, the Imperial Arena attracted a large number of nobles, and the gladiatorial battles in the arena would last for three full days, during which there would be two battles in the morning and afternoon each day.

There are a total of twelve battles, and the first and last ones get the most attention, especially the last one, which will attract everyone's attention.

This is a national event, which can be seen by all the nobles in the country, which is equivalent to being seen by all the nobles in the country, and these nobles themselves represent the pinnacle of financial power and power in various places.

So, for businessmen, this can be said to be an excellent opportunity to advertise, and it is no exaggeration to say that as long as it can be remembered in the arena, it will spread the reputation to the whole country.

Moreover, this time there were foreign envoys to participate, and the influence was even greater.

For this reason, many nobles who have commercial industries under their names and want to make their reputations more famous will send their own representatives to participate in it, and the participants on both sides are also selected in advance, and the current competition is not as barbaric as in the past, and there are generally no dead people.

People often fight with restraint, but in the arena, there is actually a more ancient way to challenge, that is, a team of several people, challenging a ferocious beast.

It's a challenge that makes it more striking and eye-catching, but the participants are often death row inmates, because fighting wild beasts is just too dangerous.

Fighting against them was either a giant bear standing upright nearly two meters or a male lion with a palm the size of a human head, and it was a nightmare to face these violent beasts.

Several death row inmates fought to the death with rudimentary weapons and fought to the death against the terrible beast, and if they were able to kill the beast, all the condemned prisoners who participated in the war would receive a pardon from the king, acquittal, and a large bounty, and live a prosperous life from then on.

Sometimes, knights and even nobles who were confident in their prowess would go into battle with these terrible beasts, and if they could kill them, they would be given the title of 'Lion Slayer' by the king himself.

This is an extremely high honor, it can be said to be the proof of the strongest strength, over the years, there are very few people who can obtain the title of lion slayer, each of which has been written into the book, as a legend by countless people to praise and worship.

But in fact, this is almost an unattainable glory, and it is too difficult to obtain, and one may even pay with his life if he is not careful.

After all, human beings have some innate physical disadvantages, whether it is speed, endurance, or resistance to blows, it is impossible to compare with ferocious beasts.

As for the attack power, anyone who is bitten or slapped by a wild beast will suffer serious injuries to the human body, and may even be killed by a single blow, but if the warrior with the long sword is strong enough, it can also cause some effective damage to those beasts.

The title of Lion Slayer, because the challenge is too difficult, few nobles and knights of the Holy Roman Empire are willing to take this risk, so no one in the empire has stood up to challenge the beast for nearly ten years.

The last challenger was a nobleman in the Duchy of Saxony, who was ambitious to win the title of Lion Slayer in the Imperial Arena and fight against the majesty of the Habsburg royal family, but unfortunately he was hit in the head by a lion's claw and fainted at that time.

Then the old lion bit the neck of the Saxon nobleman, and in this way, the miserable Saxon nobleman did not even make a move, and became the ghost of the lion's mouth.

Since then, few people have wanted to achieve any political goals in this way, and there are so many ways to attack the majesty of the royal family, so why use this way to kill people.

The lion slayer is a symbol, and if someone from another family gets this title, the royal family will look disgraced, but if someone from the Habsburg family can get this title, then it will make the royal family more majestic, and His Majesty Charles VI will be very happy about it.

And this year, almost as soon as the arena began, it reached a climax directly, because there was news that in the last game of the year, there will be warriors who will stand up and personally challenge those terrible beasts.

In other words, this year someone will become a lion slayer, or die in the jaws of a terrible lion.

This kind of thing, no matter what the situation, will make people's blood boil, and the moment the news came out, the aristocratic circle immediately boiled, and everyone speculated, wanting to see which stunned Qing was so ignorant and ready to give his life in vain.

It's just that apart from this news, there is no superfluous news coming out, and as long as someone participates in the lion fight, it will be put into the last game and staged as the finale.

So no matter how excited people are, they still have to wait until three days later to see the game.

In this way, in the midst of anticipation, the news of the battle with the beast spread more and more widely, and gradually attracted everyone's attention.

Even His Majesty Emperor Charles VI paid special attention to this matter, and said teasingly: "Haha, it seems that they are going to make a lion slayer medal out in a hurry, and everyone has signed up for nearly ten years, and we can't reward this warrior with the old medal ten years ago." ”

When the others heard His Majesty the Emperor's words, they also smiled, that was a lion, how could it be killed so easily, although someone signed up at this moment, but the final outcome must be just to be buried in the mouth of a lion.

On the first day of the arena, two captain-level men entered the battle, belonging to the Wittelsbach family and the Hannover family, both of whom also held the noble title of baron, and the competition for the kind of competition used to attract a lot of people's attention.

But this time, due to the news of the battle with the beast, the nobles who came to watch the battle were not interested, and they didn't pay much attention to the battle on the field.

Due to the lack of interest, not many people are involved in betting.

In each game, the royal family will set the market, and the nobles of the country can place bets and choose the side they think can win to participate in the market.

After the final victory, you will get the corresponding gold coin return, because the difference in strength between the two sides is not large, so there will not be much difference between the general odds, often five or five open situation, the largest gap, will not exceed one percent.
