The scene in front of him shocked Dante to the fact that there could be such a vast project under Novgorod!!

The entire underground has been hollowed out into a giant amphitheater!

The stands were packed, and everyone was cheering and screaming feverishly, shaking their arms to vent their feelings. And each of them wore the same mask to cover their faces, but even so, Constance Dante could clearly feel their excitement. The air seemed to be infused with some kind of strong psychedelic agent, which made the heart beat faster. I saw the men and women in the stands screaming frantically, and even throwing large quantities of gold and silver coins into the center of the circular field surrounded by iron chains, and thousands of coins rolled in the field, just like their crazy hearts.

At this time, Consei-Dante's eyes finally adjusted to the intense lighting, and the colorful neon lights flickered everywhere, adding to the wild atmosphere here.

There was a violent crash in the amphitheater, like something huge colliding, and with the crash, Cons Dante could hear the cheers of the spectators around him becoming violent. He couldn't help but follow the prestige, and suddenly the pupils of his eyes suddenly dilated!

Cons Dante saw clearly that there were no fighting warriors in the amphitheater!

It's two mechs!

In the republican and even imperial times before the Neo-Roman Empire, a popular form of entertainment in the West called gladiatorial competition fascinated even the citizens of the empire, who claimed to be civilized. Especially during the years of imperial expansion, a large number of prisoners of war would be thrown into the gladiatorial arena to fight against people or beasts, and the performers in the gladiatorial arena were of course not only slaves and prisoners of war, but also free people who participated in it for money or excitement, but only a small number of people after all...... It is said that after Emperor Trajan had destroyed Dacia, the returned prisoners were sent to the Colosseum in Rome to fight the beasts in a bloody show that consumed 20,000 beasts for a month.

Although gladiatorial competition was later replaced by horse racing in the Neo-Roman era, its unique charm allowed it to continue in other ways.

After the advent of the new era, not to mention the number of slaves and even the subordinate peasants, the number of freemen naturally made it impossible for bloody competitions to continue to circulate. But people are born with **. And the ** side will bring sin.

"Ladies and gentlemen! Hold your breath and watch the gorgeous visual feast" Standing in the spotlight, the well-dressed man pointed to the steel puppets fighting each other in the stands, and shouted hoarsely, "The winner is going to be decided!" Hurry up and place your bets at the last minute! May Mars, the god of war, bless you! ”

I saw the two mechs attacking each other like beasts, with no weapons in their hands, only a pair of iron fists of theirs, but with each fist swing, there was a terrifying and exciting cracking sound.

There were two mechs in the gladiatorial arena! Constance Dante looked at the scene in disbelief, even though he quickly realized that these mechs were only five-meter-class [Kilo] small second-generation aircraft, which had long been retired, but his appearance here still shocked him.

It is a black mech and a white mech, and the contrast between the colors allows the audience to clearly identify the object they support.

Looking at Constance Dante's shocked expression, Shuvalov said flatly: "Peace for too long will be tiresome, especially under the weight of the blockade of the Teutonic Knights, not the Novgorodians have deliberately maintained their sanity, and this is the time when there is a place to vent." ”

Although they are modeled after the gladiatorial battles of ancient Rome, they are not simply spectators, but gambling, and the winner will bring a lot of rewards to his supporters, in addition to the visual impact that attracts them.

This is one of the most lucrative but also lucrative industries in Novgorod, underground gambling, and all the people in the stands are not from the lower city, but powerful people from the upper city and from other countries. Many people went bankrupt in this crazy activity, but some people made a lot of money, and Shuvalov, who was in charge of it, was naturally among them. It is precisely because of this that he dared to say to Constance Dante that he has enough backstage, yes, although this industry is ****, but in fact it is an important income in Novgorod, and this man has made a lot of friends with powerful people.

"What the hell is this・・・・・・ "Constance Dante muttered to himself.

He didn't expect that there would be such a crazy thing here, it was like a cancer that infected the erosive ** to every corner of the city.

However, Shuvalov sneered, "How can you say that, Cons-Dante-kun? Don't you see how excited the big guys are? ”

At this moment, the screams of madness were deafening. Obviously, the victory or defeat between the two mechs is finally about to be revealed, which makes the audience even more excited, although not everyone has bet, but they have paid the tickets, except for those who want to win, there are also people who come to see this kind of scene.

The black mecha landed on the white mecha's right shoulder with a bang, and the already broken mecha shell was shattered in time, and both sides had no weapons, so Shuvalov certainly didn't have to worry about what would happen to the mecha's skeleton or power core, but this was different for the driver. The scrapped mecha obtained from the underworld forces does not provide any protection at all, and even if the cockpit explodes, it is not unusual. But for Shuvalov this is not a matter at all, those who participated in gladiatorial competitions have long signed life and death certificates, and even if they die, no one needs to be responsible.

The white mecha finally couldn't hold it anymore. The biggest flaw of the [Kilo] type mecha is not the small size but the low protection, the shock caused by the battle will likely cause injuries to the driver's body, especially the first-time driver, the accident rate is more than seventy percent, if it is not busy with the war in the East, the new Roman Empire will not be mass-produced at all. And these performers of Shuvalov are clearly difficult to withstand the injury. The white mech collapsed and could no longer stand up.

"I hope people don't get crippled, that kid is just the first time to come, see if he can come over." Shuvalov looked down coldly, without the slightest human touch in his eyes.

"What are you bringing me here for?" Consdante looked at Shuvalov in front of him with an ugly face and asked with difficulty, and a sense of foreboding hung over him.

"What for?" Shuvalov cracked his mouth and showed a chilling smile, "Of course, use your strength to decide your own fate, either die or become the victor and stand in the gladiatorial arena to greet flowers and applause." (To be continued.) )
