Chapter Twenty-Four: Before the War, After the Battlefield!

The gladiatorial arena is a type of entertainment that has existed since the time of the Sun King, and it has been abolished in most countries around the world today, but there are still some large gladiatorial arenas in places such as the Kingdom of Ammushi and the Kingdom of Luolin.

The Kratos Colosseum in Ammuxi City is the largest existing gladiatorial arena on the mainland. Most of the people who fought in the gladiatorial arena to please the audience were some monsters from the southern forests, or prisoners of war and slaves from the Empire.

One of Edward's great hobbies was watching gladiatorial fights in the Colosseum. The earth-shattering shouts, the struggle between man and beast for survival, the bloody, brutal scenes always gave Edward a perverted pleasure.

The Kratos Colosseum is in the style of an amphitheater from the Sun King's time, with a gladiatorial arena in the center and a high platform on all sides. The entire gladiatorial arena was open-air, and only the noble stands in front were covered.

There are a lot of people coming to the Colosseum today, because I heard that a "dragon slayer" is coming to Kratos today.

I heard that this man known as the Dragon Slayer was a chief of the Savage tribe in the Southern Forest, and once killed an earth dragon with the strength of one man. The so-called earth dragon is somewhat similar to a giant lizard. It has a hard skin and great strength. Usually, a single earth dragon is capable of killing even more than a dozen people.

And the name of this dragon slayer is Constance.

The gloomy dungeon was filled with cold air, and the water seeping from the rock walls was dripping on the ground with a crisp sound. The damp and uneven ground is not where rats and unknown bugs swagger past. The cells were held by the gladiators of Kratos' gladiatorial arena.

Constance sat in the corner, his clothes in tatters. But the muscles of the whole body are full of explosiveness. His long thick black hair covered his face, making it impossible to know how he was feeling at this time. His breathing was very even, like a dormant beast, slowly recovering his strength and accumulating strength.

Frame! It was the sound of an iron door hitting a stone wall. A bunch of soldiers opened the door to the dungeon and walked down the stairs. The leader of the squad looked left and right in the dungeon, and then walked straight towards Constance.

"This is the new dragon slayer?" The squad leader pointed to Constance and asked a huffed man beside him.

"Yes, sir. He is the Dragon Slayer. "The man hunched over is the cell boss of the gladiatorial arena.

The squad leader nodded and said to the cell leader, "Your Highness has specified that you want to see his performance, and you will let him appear later."

"Okay, okay. The villain will definitely do it. The cell boss was smiling all over his face, flattering the squad leader.

The squad leader, who received an affirmative answer, nodded, turned around and left with the soldiers.

Frame! The iron doors closed again, and the dungeon returned to calm.

"Chief! What are we going to do?" A voice came from Constance's cell to the left. Then there was a commotion, and it was clear that many of the people who had been imprisoned were watching the situation.

Constance didn't move, but the voice came from him.

"Don't panic, there is only one thing we have to do now, and that is to live!"

Constance's voice carried a convincing power, and everyone who heard his voice seemed to have the backbone of the heart, and a force suppressed the confusion and fear in their hearts.

Although no one continued to speak, the dungeon did not return to peace. Because the deafening cheers overhead were heard through the thick rock walls. In this quiet cell, it is even more harsh.

"Ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to Kratos Gladiatorial Arena!" The host of the gladiatorial arena was standing on a high platform, shouting loudly all around.

"Today we are honoured to have our Princes, His Royal Highness Edward Stuart and Miss Farao. Let's give our warmest cheers! Greetings to my Royal Highness and Miss!"

Standing on the front stage of the Colosseum, Edward greeted the tsunami-like cheers and praises of the nearly 10,000 spectators around him, while waving to the spectators around him with a big smile on his face. Gloria beside her looked a little restrained, and after a little hesitation, she made a ladylike ceremony with her skirt in both hands.

After waving his hand, Edward turned to Gloria in satisfaction and said, "Gloria, how is it?" It's a nice place, isn't it? ”

Gloria frowned a little disgusted by Edward's affectionate name calling, but quickly hid the past, and said to Edward very elegantly: "Your Highness, this place is really very distinctive, but this is the first time for me to have such a scene, so I am a little uncomfortable."

Edward nodded and said indifferently: "It's going to be a little uncomfortable for the first time, it's okay." Next, please enjoy the gladiatorial fight. This time, there's a man named the Dragon Slayer. I believe that you will definitely leave an unforgettable experience. ”

Edward was unaware of Gloria's disgust, and his interest was all in the upcoming gladiatorial fight.

Although Gloria lives in the densely populated kingdom of Danone, she is still not used to the frenetic atmosphere in the gladiatorial arena. And Gloria knew what the arena was if she watched slaves fight each other in front of her, or fight beasts of prey. That kind of scene of blood and flesh flying is chilling to think about.

"Miss, you better bear with me. After all, we are now in Ambush, and my lord is still looking forward to your marriage to His Royal Highness the Prince. The maid on the side reminded Gloria softly.

Gloria took a deep breath and slowly sat down in the seat she had prepared. She knew that she was no longer the carefree little girl she was, and that she was now tasked with the marriage plan between the Falao family and the Ammuxi Kingdom. She was no longer free to choose her likes and dislikes.

"Now, let our esteemed prince come down and announce the beginning of our gladiatorial fight!" After mobilizing the atmosphere in the arena, the host handed over the ceremony announcing the beginning of the gladiatorial fight to Edward.

Edward nodded in satisfaction, took a few steps forward in front of the crowd, came to the edge of the stands and shouted to the crowd when the spectators had calmed down, "I announce, the gladiatorial fight begins!"

Edward's words fell, and the entire gladiatorial arena instantly boiled, and countless spectators waved their hands vigorously, screaming to vent their excitement.

A low horn resounded through the arena, and even the earth-shattering shouts of the spectators could not be concealed.

With the sound of the horn, a heavy iron gate in the central square slowly opened, and a team of six people slowly walked out from behind the iron gate.

The six men were dressed in rudimentary armor and armed with spears, swords, and hammers. Although he looked a little sloppy and haggard, the muscles on his body bulged one by one.

When the six people walked to the center of the gladiatorial arena, an iron door opposite the six people finally slowly opened.

In fact, as early as when the iron gate was opened, the people who were closer had already heard the heavy wheezing and the majestic roar in the iron gate.
