Chapter Eighty-Seven: Preparations
"What? He was going to engage in such a gambling fight? Still in the elegant and simple study, Archduke Simlai's face also had a slightly surprised look.
Erwin said with some smugness: "Yes, he just wants to win our orc slaves." I once inquired with Cuenca that this Xiao Yu himself was a bad gambler, and when he was in the lion king's territory, he ate, drank, prostituted and gambled everywhere, and owed a lot of gambling debts. Moreover, he once had a gambling battle with the Wang family, defeating a hundred Wang family's guards with eleven orc infantry, and he was also assisted by the Holy Light Chain Scroll. So, his confidence was even more inflated, thinking that he could also defeat us in this way. ”
Grand Duke Himle's brow furrowed slightly, and his fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop, making a rhythmic sound.
"If he's going to come to a gamble like this, it's the best. Whatever his considerations, it's in our favor. Otherwise, if it is really done to him, although Master Theodore doesn't know whether it's true or not, it's hard to say. Hmph, a rabble of orcs, just trying to defeat my Grim Reaper Scythe infantry, whimsical. No matter how powerful the orcs are, they are still individuals who fight alone, a phalanx of five hundred heavy infantry, and the same number of orcs is definitely not an opponent. We're not the Wang family's wine bags and rice bags. However, since you want to gamble, you must ensure that you are sure that you are nine times ten, and you can do whatever it takes to win. Go and do something to those orcs so that their combat effectiveness will be reduced, hum, and see how they fight my Reaper's Scythe infantry. ”
Grand Duke Himlai leaned lightly back in his chair, and a glint flashed in his eyes.
Whatever you do, you must do your best, and when you are able to use trickery, do not be stingy. That's the secret of his success.
Although Grand Duke Simlai felt that Xiao Yu was so rash in gambling and fighting, there might be other conspiracies. But he didn't believe that on his land, he couldn't even fight a teenage child. Xiao Zhantian back then did not put it in his eyes. When he went to King Qin, it was just that he didn't want to go, otherwise, where would he get the credit for being such a hairy boy as Xiao Zhantian.
If it weren't for those damn diehards who went to King Qin, the Tianshi Dynasty would have fallen apart a long time ago, and he would have started the great cause of dominating the king.
Back in the room, Xiao Yu's face was very serious. At the dinner, he and Erwin seemed to be talking and laughing, but in fact, they were staking their own lives. The Death Scythe infantry is powerful, and he naturally knows that he doesn't have a bladed car here, but if he wants to free all these orc slaves, there is only one way.
It's better than forcibly robbing a prison, and if they do, they have no chance of winning. In that case, he still has some chances to win.
The reason why Xiaolong and Tyrande were also bet on Xiao Yu was also so that the two of them could also play, and it was definitely not enough to rely on the strength of the orcs.
Antonidas must not play this time, orcs and humans are fighting, what is it like for a human magician to go up.
In that case, it would not be a gladiatorial fight between orcs and humans, but a gladiatorial battle between Xiao Yu and Grand Duke Simlai.
It doesn't matter if Tyrande is an elf and the little dragon is a dragon. And he himself was a participant in this gambling fight, and he went up to command, and he also said the past.
Xiaolong's strength is not high now, and it is not as useful as an orc to fight hard, but Xiao Yu has recently discovered a strong place for Xiaolong, and Xiaolong can now roar out a dragon might.
Although this kind of dragon power cannot cause substantial damage, it can cause a deterrent effect to the enemy on the opposite side, so that the opponent's combat effectiveness will be reduced to a certain extent.
This is what Xiao Yu needs in this battle.
"Tyrande, I'll take you too, you won't blame me, will you?" Xiao Yu said to Tyrande with his face back. Xiao Yu did this, in fact, it was equivalent to treating Tyrande as a commodity, as a proud elf, it must be difficult to accept.
Tyrande said lightly: "You are my master, you ordered me to fight, this is my responsibility, I will not disobey it in the slightest." ”
Xiao Yu was slightly surprised, Tyrande didn't blame him.
Xiao Yu checked Tyrande's loyalty, and thought it would decline. But after a glance, I found that instead of falling, it rose by 5 points.
Xiao Yu was puzzled, why did she take Tyrande on her own, and she didn't even feel disgusted?
However, Xiao Yu didn't have time to think about this, he had to arrange the next matters, otherwise, they would definitely not be able to leave here alive.
"Osilia, do you have a way to contact that bad old man?" Xiao Yu asked Osilia.
Osilia pursed her lips and said, "What for?" ”
Xiao Yu looked out the window and said with a solemn face: "Hurry up and give him a message and let him find a way to come over, otherwise, even if we win this time, we will definitely not be able to leave here." The promise he owed me in the first place seemed to be the right time to do it. ”
Xiao Yu naturally knew that it was impossible for someone like Sim to easily let go of the fat in his mouth. Even if Xiao Yu wins, the other party will definitely play some tricks to prevent him from leaving safely.
At this time, only a figure like Master Theodore could intimidate him.
Simlai's subordinates, but there are no sixth-order great magicians.
Even if there are a few fifth-order great magicians, and sixth-order great magicians are not the same concept at all.
Osilia didn't say anything, turned around and went out to send a message.
The day after tomorrow is the day of gladiatorial fighting.
In the past two days, Xiao Yu has been thinking about what kind of tactics to use against those Death Scythe infantry at that time, and he asked to meet with those orc slaves first, so that he can better arrange the tactics.
However, Erwin delayed under various pretexts, saying that some orc slaves were still locked up elsewhere, and that it was troublesome to transport these orc slaves, and that they were being transported, so they could only be seen a few hours before the gladiatorial fight.
Xiao Yu immediately smelled a smell of conspiracy. But, whatever the conspiracy, he had to take it up, and he had to save the orcs for Grom and Thrall.
Finally came to the day of gladiatorial fighting, Xiao Yu rushed to the gladiatorial arena with a group of people in the morning, first met with those orc slaves, and then prepared for the gladiatorial fight at noon.
On the carriage, Xiao Yu said to Osilia: "Osilia, if I can't survive this time, please help tell Master Theodore and ask him to help me bring my sister-in-law and others back, even if he helps me fulfill that promise." ”
Osilia pursed her lips and said, "I'm your slave now, and if you die, I won't be able to live, so what do you say?" It's serious that you're still alive and well. I really don't understand, orcs are gladiatorial fights, what do you go up to? ”
Xiao Yu smiled, a soft look on his face, and said, "Because I don't treat them as orcs, I treat them as my friends and relatives." Your friends go to fight to the death, can you sit by and watch by yourself? ”
Osilia opened her mouth, and after a while, she said slowly, "This is the secret of your ability to rule over these orcs and elves, isn't it?" ”
Xiao Yu nodded and said, "No, in fact, this is a very simple truth, but the humans on this continent will not understand." Are racial boundaries really that important? In my heart, all intelligent beings are equal, whether they are humans, orcs, elves, or dwarves. Even those beasts without intelligence, humans should not slaughter them wantonly. Wild beasts eat people, but in order to fill their stomachs, in order to survive, what about those wild beasts that humans slaughter? It's just for the sake of human selfishness. Whose life is inherently superior to that of others? Respecting all life is the credo of my life. ”
Osilia looked at Xiao Yu fixedly, and suddenly felt that although this rascal was useless and had too many shortcomings, his advantages were also very prominent, and he was also incredible.
From Xiao Yu's body, she suddenly saw a ...... The temperament of a leader.
"Could it be that the bad old man's prophecy is true? Do I really want to follow him for the rest of my life? ”
When everyone arrived at the gladiatorial arena, Erwin was already waiting there, and when he saw Xiao Yu, he immediately walked up enthusiastically and said, "Duke Xiao, I've been waiting for you for a long time, I believe that today will definitely be a wonderful game." ”
Xiao Yu laughed and said, "Third Prince, if you lose, don't pay the bill." I have confidence in my orc guards, and I trust my own command even more, and with my wise command, they can surely defeat your Reaper's Scythe infantry. Although I know that the Death Scythe infantry is extremely powerful, I am a person who likes to challenge powerful things. ”
Erwin also laughed and said: "Duke Xiao is really worthy of being the descendant of Marshal Xiao, and he is really arrogant, and he is ashamed of himself and admired." ”
"Haha, where, in fact, I am just a little stronger than the average person in command, and I have inherited excellent blood, no way, haha......" Xiao Yu pretended to be very conceited and very conceited.
Elwin's eyes flashed with a gleam, but he didn't speak.
At that moment, Erwin took Xiao Yu to meet those orcs.
After going around the Colosseum, I came to the back of the Colosseum, where those monsters and gladiators were kept in captivity. Because there are often some powerful magical beasts here, those cells are very large and strong.
The walls are made of the hardest iron stone, and the fences used to make the gates are either steel bars the thickness of a child's arm, or snowy pine wood as thick as a child's waist.
Moreover, these fences are not just one layer, they are generally arranged in three layers, and some fences that imprison large demonic beasts are five or six layers to prevent escape.
When the group arrived at the place where the orcs were imprisoned, they found that they were all fences made of five-tiered snowfield pine.
When he saw those orcs for the first time, Xiao Yu's eyes immediately flashed with a cold light, and he opened his mouth to scold Erwin: "Nimal Gobi, Erwin, Lao Tzu respects you as a character, so he gambles with you, but you fucking cheat with me, is there such a shameless nobleman as you?" What the hell have you done to them? Why are they all languishing, this is a fart. It would be strange if Lao Tzu could win. ”
