Section 32 The Bloody Colosseum

In the middle of the night, Carter had a nightmare in which he dreamed of a group of savages desperately chasing after him! He couldn't find where his sister had gone, so he had to flee in despair alone. Suddenly, an arrow was fired at him, and Carter was immediately awakened.

Carter sat on the ground sweating profusely, his heart pounding wildly from the nightmare. He looked sideways to see his sister and Mariara sleeping soundly on the floor, which reassured him. Carter looked around, the refugees were very tired, and at the moment they were all lying in the woods sleeping, only two or three guards in charge of patrolling stood by the big tree not far away and chatted.

Although there were guards on duty, Carter was still not at ease. He walked out of the woods onto the road, lay lightly on the ground, leaned his ear close to the road, and listened carefully.

Suddenly, Carter jumped up from the ground and shouted at everyone, "Oh no, someone's coming, everyone get up." ”

Carter's cry woke up all the refugees, but before everyone could react, a volley of arrows whistled from the woods and shot the three guards on duty in unison!

Arrows rained down, refugees fled to their deaths, and a massacre began, screaming across the woods.

Carter braved the rain of arrows, but everything ran to Lisa, and the siblings ran hand in hand again into the woods! But this time their luck was not very good, and they accidentally ran into the ambush point of the barbarians, bumped into a dozen tall strong men, and were directly arrested.

The refugees suffered heavy casualties, and the barbarians would make up for the wounded and the unbreathable. Those who survived were all bound up by the barbarians and carried into numerous large prison carts, and then driven south.

Mariara and her siblings were held in the same prison car, and as her uncle was shot dead on the spot, Mariara crouched in the car and began to cry loudly, in exchange for a roar from the barbarian soldiers, which frightened Mariara into tears, her teeth clenching her lips.

Carter seemed to have smelled death, and fear made him cling to Lisa, and the fear inside made his whole body tremble.

In the previous kingdom, everyone believed in the gods, and many temples were built throughout the kingdom, and the devotion of the Knight to the gods far exceeded that of the kings of the time. But when the real danger came, it seemed that all of the gods of Knight had abandoned their people and left them to be slaughtered by foreigners.

Now they, whether poor or noble, are now all captives of the barbarians; No matter how noble they were before, they are now all prisoners of the barbarians. Everything that used to be is a thing of the past, and now they are desperate for everything, and all that remains is to wait silently for death to come.

The prison carts bobbed to the south, tormented by hunger and thirst, but the barbarians paid no heed.

On the afternoon of the third day, the refugees finally arrived at Risburg, which had long been occupied by the barbarians and became a temporary assembly place for the barbarians.

The helpless refugees were driven out of the car by the barbarians and walked in line towards the city gates.

As she passed the city gate, Lisa accidentally looked over her head and saw a bloody head hanging from the gate, and she couldn't help but scream in fright.

Hearing Lisa's scream, people all looked overhead, and they were all terrified.

At this time, the barbarian guards standing aside grinned at the refugees: "Look, this is your eighth duke, Elite!" He thinks that if he surrenders, he will survive, and our empire has never accepted such shameless cowards, and this is the fate of being our enemy. ”

Those who surrendered were also killed, and it seemed that if they fell into the hands of the barbarians, there was only one way to die, and the words of the barbarian guards made the refugees feel infinite despair. Fear filled everyone's bodies, and finally one man could no longer bear the torment, and he rushed out of the crowd crying out, trying to break free and escape.

With a sneer, a savage guard slashed him with a knife, and blood sprayed all over the ground, so frightened that the refugees hurriedly leaned close together, and no one dared to act rashly.

The refugees were then taken to the dungeons of Reesburg, which were already overcrowded with suffering people, and there were not a single knight or soldier at all.

At night, barbarians kept coming to the dungeon, and they forcibly took away the beautiful women among the refugees, and then they never returned, as if they had evaporated from the world.

The refugees survived a terrible night of trepidation, and the next morning they were thrown out of the dungeon en masse and taken together to Knights' Square in Reesburg.

There is also a Knights' Square in Reesburg, which resembles the royal capital, which used to be the place where the Duke held ceremonies, and where vendors usually set up stalls to do business, but now the situation here is completely different.

The square was filled with thousands of Knight refugees, who were divided into three groups by the barbarians, one group of all women, one group of all adult men, and the other group of underage boys. The square was surrounded by barbarian guards, and they had no chance of escaping.

People don't know what the barbarians want to do, but they know that death is not far from them at this point. With fear, they silently greeted the coming of death.

An officer walked down the steps quickly, twisting the flesh off his face, and pretending to be kind to announce to the refugees: "You are lucky to have met a distinguished guest from the First Clan of our empire today. In a moment, you men give me a good show, and if you can win the favor of our Lord Pete, all the winners will be free. Each of you has only one chance, and whoever can kill the other can leave immediately and safely. This is the favor of our empire to you pariahs, and you cherish it. ”

The officer turned back to his chair and turned to the side of his head to chat pleasantly with one of the nobles beside him.

Tubis was a slave empire, and the gladiatorial arena was a topic of greatest interest. Everyone understands that now everyone has become a slave to the barbarians, and it is basically impossible for anyone who can leave alive to appear.

The women were in constant pain out of fear, the men bowed their heads and were silent, and the boys and children were glazed over.

But the barbarian's plan seemed to have changed, and the nobleman in the stands pointed at the crowd, as if he was not satisfied with the officer's arrangement. The officer kept nodding and complimenting him on the side, with a villain face that obeyed the order.

Soon the officer stepped down and re-announced, "Due to the kindness of our Lord Pete, we can't bear to see you Knight kill each other, so we will slightly change the mode of the battle. I've heard that all of you Knight know how to use a sword, and all of them are heroes, and so must the teenagers here. Therefore, we give priority to providing opportunities for all young friends, so that you can show your strengths and join hands to fight against the mythical beasts on our grassland. ”

The refugees were so confused that no one knew what their so-called mythical beast was. When several animal cage carriages with lions were pulled into the square, everyone instantly understood, and one by one they turned pale with fright.

The barbarians didn't seem to be joking, and they began to drive the crowd around, clearing a large clearing in the middle of the square. Then he grabbed a few teenagers and threw them inside, and asked the soldiers to bring in countless fences, forming a large circle in the central area, and a temporary gladiatorial arena was quickly built.

A pile of swords, guns and axes was thrown inside by the barbarians, which were the weapons offered to the teenagers. But the boys were so frightened that they all froze there, and before they could reach for their weapons, the hungry lion rushed out of the iron cage.

The scene in the fence was extremely bloody, and those helpless teenagers had no ability to resist, and they were bitten to death one by one, which instantly became a delicious meal for the lions!

Looking at the blood on the ground, the screams of the refugees came and went, and the women were all crying in fright, and let out heart-rending screams. However, the nobles and officers in the stands laughed happily, as if they were looking forward to this kind of plot.

Since the lion won without any suspense, this made the nobleman feel very boring, so the inhumane performance had to continue.

More than a dozen barbarian guards walked into the field, and together they held guns and shields, and drove the lions aside, and the barbarian slaves behind them began to quickly clear the field.

Soon the second batch of teenagers will be thrown into this slaughterhouse again, and a new round of performances will begin! When Lisa saw Carter lying on the ground in despair, she was a little dizzy and cried loudly along with the women.

Carter was also selected in the second round, and he was already a little delirious because he was afraid that his limbs had long since stopped listening. He lay motionless on the ground, overwhelmed by the fear in his heart. Seeing poor Carter lying on the ground trembling all over, Lisa was so anxious that tears rained down, but no matter how much she cried, there was still no savage to pay attention to her.

The show began again, the savage guards quickly exited the field, and the lions began to roar again.

At this time, a sixteen-year-old boy picked up a scimitar, and he walked in front of all the teenagers with his head held high, as if trying to protect everyone with the power of one person.

Seeing this episode, the nobles in the stands began to get excited. He and the officer exchanged glances, and together they took out the gold coins from their bosoms and began to bet on this battle between man and beast. The nobleman buys the boy to win, while the officer buys the lion to win.

When the people in the stands are fighting for life and death, these barbarians not only take pleasure in it, but even make a bet! Perhaps this is the ferocious nature of their Tubis, and the main reason why the Knight call them savages.

Miracles began to appear, and the boy was indeed extraordinary. I saw that he was agile and flying, holding a scimitar to slash left and right, and in a moment he hacked a male lion to the ground, which shocked everyone with cheers.

At this time, there was a round of applause from the high platform, and the nobles and officers cheered together for this wonderful performance.

The young man glanced angrily at the high platform, then jumped up and rushed towards the lions with a scimitar. The young man is heroic and imposing, this seems to be the legendary Knight hero, who shows tenacious fighting spirit when life and death are at stake.

Seeing this, the nobleman became interested, and directly got up and lay on the low wall, carefully watching the shocking scene in the Colosseum.

The boy had the extraordinary skills of a hero, and in less than twenty minutes, three more lions died tragically under his sword. There was only one male lion left in the fence, and he hid by the fence in fright, and kept roaring at the boy, but he did not dare to come near.

But the boy was wounded, and there was a deep claw mark on his right arm, and blood was gushing out, dripping along his fingers.

At this time, the victory and defeat of the man and beast were divided, and the officer finally lost all the gold coins on his body. He got up and pointed at the male lion angrily and said, "As a divine beast on the grassland, it can only hide and roar. What's the use of leaving you, come on, kill it for me. ”

As soon as the order was given, the guards drew their spears and whizzed at the lion. The poor male lion was stabbed by numerous spears, and he lay on the ground and let out a few last roars, and then never reacted again.
