Chapter 16: Fight to the death

A burst of fog suddenly appeared in front of him, and the surrounding spectators, gladiators, and the corpses that were dead and blind gradually disappeared into the mist. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

This must be the end of the memory, he thought to himself, and soon the fog gradually cleared again, and a new scene appeared in front of his eyes, the same sand and the auditorium, but compared to the last gladiatorial arena, the venue was obviously much larger, and the number of spectators was also a lot larger. This should be another memory, Xiao Zhen thought.

And this time his opponent is no longer human, but a bull with a sharp blade in his horns.

The ancient Romans liked to add all kinds of gimmicks to gladiatorial matches, and the scene in front of them is called Theseus vs. Minotaur.

The gladiator plays the role of Theseus, the famous hero of ancient Greek mythology, while the bull plays the role of the Minotaur, of course.

Looking at the bull in front of him, Xiao Zhen couldn't help but feel bottomless for a while, this Alex's combat power is undoubtedly quite strong, but he doesn't know if he can win in the face of a bull.

At this time, a slave ran towards Xiao Zhen (Alex) and draped a red robe over his body.

The bull seemed to be stimulated, howled, and rushed towards Alex.

Alex was not panicked, his heart was as calm as water, his eyes were staring at the bull's eyes, just when the horns were more than a meter away from him, Alex suddenly rolled to the left side, dodging the sprint of the horns, and dodged the blow.

The bull rushed out a long way before he stopped, turned his head, and rushed again.

Still concocted in the same way, Alex dodged four times in a row, and Xiao Zhen could clearly feel that the speed of the bull's charge would be slower than the last time each time.

When the bull rushed for the fifth time, Alex didn't continue to dodge, he turned sideways on the spot, and at the moment when he crossed the shoulders with the bull, a sword slashed at the bull's body.

Blood gushed out, and the bull was stimulated by the pain, and immediately became crazy, and pounced with more ferocious momentum, but Xiao Zhen (Alex) knew that this madness was just a return to the light, and the strength of the already tired bull would soon pass with the blood flowing.

Alex continued to circle around the bull, stabbing a sword from time to time, while flexibly dodging the bull's attacks from time to time, sure enough, as more and more wounds appeared on his body, the bull gasped, and gradually declined, the surrounding sand has been stained red with blood, and the bull's collision is like half of slow motion, Alex's dodging has become more and more relaxed and leisurely, finally, the bull doesn't even have the last trace of strength, it lies on the ground, looking at Alex calmly.

Xiao Zhen (Alex) read some information from that look, and he slowly walked up to the bull and stabbed his long sword deep into the bull's neck.

There was a terrible howl, and the bull's eyes gradually dimmed.

That's sadness! Xiao Zhen suddenly realized the meaning of that message, in a sense, whether it was a bull or Alex, or the giant man who died under Alex's sword before, they were all the same pathetic existence in essence.

However, before he had time to grieve for a while, the fog filled again, obscuring everything in front of him, and the second memory ended.

Xiao Zhen became curious in his heart, he was very much looking forward to what the third memory would be.

When the fog cleared again, there was another scene in front of him, this was obviously the interior of a palace, Xiao Zhen could feel that what he was wearing was no longer rough linen clothes and hard armor, but soft Romanesque robes, and not far away, a beautiful lady was looking at him with blazing eyes.

She walked slowly towards him, her fingers running over the solid muscles of his body, and let out a sigh of admiration.

Xiao Zhen was speechless for a while, what is the situation? What made him even more speechless was that the noble lady suddenly took off the long skirt on her body, revealing her inchless body, and then slowly pasted it up, and then what happened next made Xiao Zhen stunned, Alex actually followed the noble lady and did it directly, he said in his heart, could it be that the ancient Roman gladiators would also make a cameo appearance in this job? However, compared to the previous two memories, this memory made him enjoy it very much.

However, this memory did not last long, and half an hour later, the fog filled again, obscuring the vision.

And then there's the fourth memory.

When the fog cleared again, at this moment, Xiao Zhen (Alex) found himself sitting on a bench in a basement, and the sunlight shone through the fence at the exit of the basement, carrying the smell of wind and sand and blood.

At the same time, there were trumpets and cheers.

What is this place? Xiao Zhen was stunned in his heart, he looked to the side, and on either side of him, there were more than a dozen people wearing rudimentary armor and holding swords, these people were obviously gladiators like him.

"Alex, get ready, you and your men are going to be on the field soon." A man dressed in the costume of an ancient Roman soldier approached and shouted at him.

Xiao Zhen (Alex) stood up from the bench and glanced at the people around him, the gladiators looking at him with a burst of excitement in their eyes of trust, determination, and adoration.

"My brothers, comrades-in-arms, we have defeated countless opponents to get to this point, many lives have been lost, but we have survived, but to be free, we have to win the last battle, brothers, all stand up and decide our own destiny with the sword in our hands!"

"Hasa! Hats off to you Alex! The gladiators raised their weapons and shouted. This shout made Xiao Zhen's blood boil.

The fence was suddenly opened, and the sunlight suddenly shone in from the outside, scorching hot and dazzling, Xiao Zhen (Alex) nodded at the dozen or so gladiators under his command, and led them to line up in two rows and walk along the ramp to the outside.

At this moment, his heart was extremely excited, with so many strong gladiators, this battle must be extremely exciting, but he didn't know why, he could feel that in Alex's memory, there seemed to be a bit of suppressed anger and fear.

When Xiao Zhen finally walked out of the basement and came outside, he was suddenly stunned.

It was a huge square, more than ten times larger than the gladiatorial arena he had seen on the two occasions before, and the high spectator seats around it were filled with spectators, tens of thousands, flags fluttering, trumpets, and war drums.

The entire gladiatorial arena was like a giant bowl, and the cheers around it came one after another, making Xiao Zhen, who was at the bottom of the bowl, feel as if he was in the center of the storm.

(This is the Colosseum!?) Almost instantly, Xiao Zhen understood his situation, and at the same time was extremely excited, I am afraid that in reality, few people can really see this scene in front of him.

A fat man in a silk robe shouted from the high platform.

"Welcome to the battlefields of antiquity, and today, His Majesty the Great Roman Emperor, will lead you back to an ancient piece of history, Julius Caesar's Battle of Gaul.

What you see before your eyes are the hordes of barbarians from Gaul, bloodthirsty, cruel, savage, murderous adversaries who seek to challenge our great Caesar and his Roman warriors, and the end of these barbarians is bound to perdition. ”

Hahahaha! Bursts of malicious mockery and laughter came from the audience, making Xiao Zhen feel a little uneasy.

The fat man was still shouting.

"And next, the great Julius Caesar and his faithful Northern Legion will enter!"

With a bang, a gate at the other end of the arena was suddenly opened, and more than two dozen rival gladiators rushed out of it.

Not only were these gladiators much more numerous than Alex's side, but they were all dressed in armor, armed with large shields, spears, short swords, and even a chariot, which had completely overwhelmed their side in terms of equipment and momentum.

I see, now Xiao Zhen finally understood, it seems that there are two gladiator teams, they play the ancient Gauls on one side, and the northern legion led by Caesar on the other side, but according to this script, their side is not good, after all, in history, it was the Romans who won in the end.

Although the enemy on the opposite side was not a real Roman soldier, he was a gladiator with more combat experience, and with the advantage of equipment and numbers, his side was a huge disadvantage.

And he was not the only one who seemed to understand this, and the gladiators under Alex all looked at him at this time.

Xiao Zhen could clearly feel that Alex's heart was full of anger and unwillingness, and this emotion infected him, making him raise the sword in his hand, "Fight to the end!" ”

"Fight to the death!" He roared, and the gladiators immediately shouted one after another, and under Alex's leadership, they rushed towards the enemy on the opposite side.
