90. Gladiatorial fights in the barracks
"Centurion, beat him. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Inside, before the gladiatorial battle began, hundreds of legionnaires began to stir up the atmosphere on the sidelines, with the centurions of the Eagle Banner Brigade on one side and three battle-hardened legion veterans on the other. Of course, in order to avoid casualties, both sides of this gladiatorial fight used wooden swords.
At the beginning, when the referee had just called for start, Appis took advantage of the fact that the three veterans were not ready, rushed forward and hit one of the veterans with a sword. The arrogant momentum suddenly stunned everyone, everyone thought that the centurion, who did not look brutal on the outside, should be a polite officer, and the fight should be the first salute and then the soldier, but in less than three seconds of the opening, everyone saw a real Appis. Like the most savage gladiators, simple and crude.
"You're cheating, centurion, he's not ready!"
Powell yelled, but Appis ignored his grievances—
"On the battlefield, the enemy won't wait for you to be ready to pounce on you, Powell."
After speaking, Appis picked up the short sword in the hand of the veteran who had just been knocked out, and then held a short sword in one hand, and with a simple whirling motion, the two wooden short swords spun in a circle in his hands and returned to his two hands. It doesn't matter if it's handsome, or if it's to deter the other party. In short, this simple action and the previous swift raid had already ignited the atmosphere on the sidelines.
The crowd began to cheer and whistle, obviously, some gladiatorial fights do not require many flashy tricks, and a domineering gladiator can also cause the audience to cheer enthusiastically.
Originally, three legion veterans played against a centurion, but now Apis beat the stunned veteran at the beginning, and only Powell and another veteran were left on the field, staring nervously and attentively at Apis in front of him.
Left and right, they slowly approached the centurion of this Eagle Banner brigade.
Since the two-on-one is two-on-one, it still has an advantage for the time being.
For a moment, Appis remembered his days at the Roman gladiator academy, when he was just a scumbag who knew nothing, scared to pee in front of swords and swords, spent his days in the punches and kicks of gladiator instructors, and reluctantly reluctantly in the disdainful eyes and cynicism of the strong. And now, time flies, and in three years, everything has changed so dramatically.
The veterans of the two legions saw that Appis did not seem to take the initiative to attack, so they rushed forward together. They showed no mercy to Appis, for they themselves disobeyed the young officer's stewardship. I want to knock Appis to the ground with a sword.
When Pwell's first sword stabbed over, Appis reflexively dodged sideways, and the speed of this blow was extremely fast, if it weren't for the bloody battlefield and arena fighting all year round, Apis would definitely not be able to dodge this sword by himself.
The legion veterans who attacked with Pwell were a little slower, but it was this short time difference that gave Apis the key to victory. After dodging Pwell's stab, Apis still had his short sword in both hands, and then, in a very short time, Apis swung his wooden sword to block the troublemaker's blade, and stabbed the veteran of the Legion in the abdomen with the wooden sword in his other hand.
Both actions are done at lightning speed, and the audience on the sidelines may have less than a second to watch the show. However, whether they completed it or not, the crucial blow of the gladiatorial fight was completed in such a very short period of time.
Oh……
The Roman veteran, who had been stabbed in the abdomen with a wooden sword, clutched his stomach and screamed in pain.
If it weren't for the wooden sword, just now, the veteran's abdomen had already been pierced.
"Appis!"
The sudden scene made the audience on the sidelines suddenly feel emotional, and Sekras took the lead in cheering. At the scene, most of them began to shout Appis's name. This kind of scene is like a gladiatorial arena recreated in the past. Appis suddenly enjoyed the feeling. If a person has been a gladiator, perhaps his life will be connected by this. Greyus said this at the time, Apis didn't believe it at the time, but now it seems that the words of the late Roman nobleman have a few philosophies, even if he is not a gladiatorial fight, Apis knows that in the future, he will be involved in another arena, which is the arena of Roman politics, stained with the blood of countless Roman nobles and senators.
"Now, do you still want to fight? Soldier. ”
Settle the two, and now, Apis can relax and take care of the veteran of the Legion who took the lead in causing trouble.
"Come on, kid. You'll always be just a kid. ”
Powell's answer was sarcastic, but Apis was not entertained by him. Gladiatorial combat requires concentration, and even the weakest opponent has a fatal blow, which was taught by Marcus, the coach of Apis.
Powell got close to Appis again, and the distance between the two of them was so close, a feint made the two of them instinctively react defensively.
The wooden sword went back and forth in the hands of the two people, and bumped and bumped. Appis swayed sideways, and Powell swayed nervously.
"Beat him, centurion, beat him."
There were waves of commotion, and it was obvious that Apis still had a high reputation in this brigade, at least the title of "Son of the Gods" was not self-proclaimed, but was personally nominated by Caesar as evidenced by facts. Even though Apis was a little immature.
"Aren't you going to stop him? Dennis, after this gladiatorial fight, his reputation in the brigade is greater than yours. ”
Although most of the people on the sidelines wanted Apis to win, the Romans, who were protected by the gods, seemed to be more than just their centurion, it involved their faith. However, there were also a few cavalrymen on Dennis's side, and Rabienus handed over the command of the entire brigade to Appis and Denis before leaving, but there were always people who really made decisions at critical moments. And after this gladiatorial fight, Appis's prestige is undoubted, and he will crush Dennis. At that time, Dennis will be just an empty commander.
"And what can you tell me to do? Stop the game?. ”
Dennis sat down in his seat and replied sullenly......
**
There was a muffled sound of wood hitting the flesh and bones, and it was no surprise that Pwell was completely defeated by Apis in the gladiatorial battle with Appis. The centurion's wooden sword even pressed against Pwell's throat, discrediting the legion veteran.
"Apis, Apis, Apis......"
At this moment, Segeras led the onlookers on the sidelines to shout the name of their centurion again.
