16. Blood and Glory (Changed)
"Ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to the Colosseum of Gakison! Today! We will present you with the most ferocious gladiatorial fight in history! I'm sure your blood is already boiling, right? With the goblin commentator in place, the game officially began. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"First of all, I will serve you an appetizer, I believe everyone remembers the winner of the last competition, yes, it is the mighty orc warrior, Karush!"
"Roar!!" Maybe this guy is really famous, and quite a few viewers cheered.
With cheers, the door on the side of the arena was opened, and an orc with a height of more than two meters and an explosive muscle walked out, he had dark green skin and blood-red eyes, he looked nearly fifty years old, he should be the first orc to drink the blood of demons, but his old age did not affect his combat effectiveness, his muscles were as strong as a blower, his steps were very calm, his eyes were cold and bloodthirsty, maybe the eyes around him looked like clowns, The orc's eyes were filled with pain and anger that could not be concealed.
He was unequipped, naked. With his upper body exposed, his lower body was a pair of tattered shorts, not even a pair of shoes, and he walked barefoot, holding a giant axe with a notch in one hand, and that was all he had to wear.
"Oh! Forgot to tell everyone that the orc warrior Karush once won twelve victories in the Colosseum of Gulabash in the Valley of Thorns! Won three more in Garkison! Follow the rules! Gladiators who win fifteen matches can challenge the final battle, and warriors who win the final battle will be freed! Of course, winning is death! What the hell will happen! Let's wait and see! ”
Perhaps the word freedom is too tempting, the old orc's eyes are more solemn than ever, he wants to fight for freedom, or die for freedom.
But Zhang Li heard many people laughing at him behind him, everyone said that he was dead, and some even started the gambling game, people speculated that he would die in the first few battles, and no one thought he could win.
Freedom is certainly precious, but so far, few gladiators have been able to win freedom, and the strongest warriors will die in this battle, just because the battle is so unfair, the gladiators have to fight twelve times in a row, they will encounter beasts and other gladiators, and sometimes even the kind of beasts that can do some spells, such as petrified lizards, and the most shameless thing is that in the last few battles they will face not only one enemy, but a group, or even a well-coordinated squad.
For goblins, a slave without use value is not a good slave, but a slave without hope will not bring pleasure to the audience, so they want to give the gladiator hope, but they have to squeeze out his last value, so they say that goblins really have no bottom line.
However, Zhang Li looked at this orc with great interest, he didn't want to say anything about the goblin system, he was not a saint, in the reincarnation of more than ten lifetimes, he had also been a slave, and he was also a natural slave born to a child, he also resisted, and even succeeded in one life, people say that you should not do to others what you do not want to do to others, but in fact, it is a super refreshing feeling to watch others experience the pain they have experienced, Zhang Li is experiencing this pleasure.
The narrator chattered again, the first game finally began, the door on the other side of the gladiatorial arena finally opened, it was a long-hungry sand lizard, this kind of predator everywhere in Tanaris is a favorite delicacy of many people, this guy is super weak, except for the defense is a little bit of no advantage, running very slowly, only the moment before the attack is launched, the explosion speed is fast, they are generally hidden under the sand, and when the prey approaches, they suddenly attack, Almost all adventurers in Tanaris will deal with this beast, and with a little training, a small child will not have a problem killing a sand lizard.
In fact, the first few performances were to warm him up, and by the way, it can also bring the atmosphere of the audience.
Caroosh didn't move, and the hungry sand lizard rushed up, and then crashed into the axe itself, ending his pitiful life.
Karosh had twelve battles to go through, and he was trying to conserve as much strength as possible.
Next, he fought a black bear, a giant wolf, and an oversized spider, and Zhang Li finally determined the level of this orc, he should be infinitely close to the strength of a level 2 warrior, and his combat skills are very strong.
Zhang Li has only seen two heroic warriors of the boar man, but they were completely and completely crushed by himself, so in fact, he doesn't know how much strength the heroic warrior can exert, but he knows that if the teeth are here, there is no need to dodge the pounce of the black bear and the giant wolf, and a hard punch can hit the heads of these two beasts into the stomach, with the qi and blood of the level 2 warrior, this wasted strength can be made up for in a few breaths, no more than the strength wasted by dodging the attack and then taking advantage of the momentum to waste an axe, From this, he deduced that this orc warrior should be the pinnacle of level 1.
But then again, it's unlikely that the heroes will be captured as slaves.
Except for the spider's silk, which almost put the orc warrior in a difficult situation, the other beasts were divided in an instant, but with superb combat skills, the spider still could not escape the doom, so far, except for some green spider blood splashed on the orc's body, he is no different from when he first came out, not even panting.
Finally, the battle entered the main stage, and as the narrator's words fell, under the gaze of the people, a huge humanoid creature came out of the gate, it was snow-white, but its belly, hands and feet were black, and its head was very similar to that of an orangutan, but its head felt very small compared to its body.
"Snow Monster" Zhang Li immediately recognized this creature, and it turned out that it was indeed a snow monster.
"Everyone has seen Karush's next opponent! That's a snow monster from the high mountains of Firas! The snow monster is a beast that is not inferior in strength to the minotaur or ogre! I believe that the outcome of this gladiatorial battle will be very suspenseful! Are you ready for the gold in your hand? Have you already placed your bets? Then I announce! This is the game! Begin! ”
Karush's eyes never took off the moment he came out of the snow monster, this creature was two heads taller than him, although it could not use weapons, but its claws were no less than the broken axe in his hand, and walking upright meant that he had a wider range of attacks and better protection of his head, which was an opponent he had to take seriously.
The battle in the real world is very different from the game.,The battle in the game is all about you hitting me and I'm hitting you.,And then use skills with each other.,All kinds of silence、Control,From time to time to move into the attack blind spot or something.,A duel has to be fought for a while.,In the real world, a careless one will be fatally attacked.,Sometimes even a small wound can kill you.,If there's any bleeding wound on Karush's body now.,Then if there's an intelligent creature in the next few battles, All they had to do was run away, defending while fleeing, and killing Karush.
This time, Karosh took the initiative to attack for the first time, he strode towards the snow monster, and the snow monster deserved to have an orangutan head, the first thing he did was not to prepare a counterattack, but to beat his chest vigorously, with a terrifying roar in his mouth, hoping to scare away the enemy, and wait until Karoosh was almost close before launching a counterattack, but Karoosh easily dodged the snow monster's claws sideways, and then slashed at the snow monster's chest with an axe, and the scarlet blood splashed Karush on the face with the snow monster's painful roar.
Unfortunately, the axe was not sharp enough, otherwise it should have been able to cut through the heart of the snow monster, but the huge wound also almost crossed half of its chest, and Karush immediately retreated from the snow monster as soon as he hit it, and his decision was not wrong, the snow monster fought back like crazy, and the huge palm waved indiscriminately.
The dying beast is the most terrible, Caroosh understands this deeply, so he just defends and retreats, the snow monster does not last long, it bleeds like a fountain, this huge wound quickly takes away all its strength, it falls, but it does not die for the time being, the rapid gasping and trembling body are proof that it is alive, but the door of death has long been opened for it.
Karosh freed it, and he chopped off the snow monster's head with an axe.
Karush's victory was not as unexpected as it was the last one, but there were still some lucky guys who lost a fortune and are now regretting it.
Then there were all kinds of battles, but this time the monsters were all very strong, the super sprinting velociraptors, the huge spiked turtles, and some other gladiators, one of the cunning troll hunters with his beast companion almost killed Karush, two to one, and it was a wheel battle, and the pressure on Karush was too great.
Zhang Li finally saw the strength of the orc warrior, he was full of weapons, the powerful velociraptor was bitten to death by his sharp fangs, but before he died, he left several deep wounds on his chest, and the black-red blood formed a small pool of water under his feet (the blood of the orcs seemed to be black-red).
Now that Karush is covered in injuries, more and more people will die in the next game, and after his opponent in the next game comes to power, Zhang Li feels that this should be his limit.
Because it is no longer a creature, but a group, this is a group of coyotes, a single coyote is weak, but the coyote pack is an existence that even lions dare not provoke, five coyotes surrounded Karush, they are very skillful in cooperating, there are containment and attack, they advance and retreat with evidence, Karush's two fists are invincible with four hands.
"For the glory of our ancestors! Lok’TarOgar! After being bitten off a large piece of flesh by the coyote again, Karoosh shouted the slogan of the orc charge, completely abandoned the defense and began to fight back frantically, he fought like a beast, even threw away the broken axe in his hand, and began to bite with his nails and teeth, and finally all the coyotes died under his hands, but he also fell to the ground of the arena covered in blood.
The cheers in the arena were so piercing that Carush's eyes were blank, and he tried to raise his hands again but in vain, and finally his eyes began to drift.
Perhaps at this moment, he was thinking of the fragrance of the Nagrand steppes, of his companions in his memory, of his family and his loved ones, of the peaceful herding life and the laughter of his companions, but now, he would die in this strange land, his soul would never return to his ancestors, and he would end this cursed life as an invader.
"Oh! No! My Coins! Karush, stand up! The narrator shouted with tears in his eyes, but unfortunately Karoosh would not be brought back to life by his shout.
"Master, he's so pitiful, let's help him." Ivy shook her arm.
Zhang Li didn't understand, why didn't Ivy feel pitiful for the gladiators who were killed by Karushh before, but now she was sympathetic to this orc, was she moved by his indomitability?
Zhang Li had no intention of making a move, but who asked Ivy to beg him.
"Really, you're lucky, orc......"
……………………
Suddenly, the orc, who was dying, suddenly heard a voice in his ears: "Call the Holy Light!" ”
The sound seemed to appear directly in his brain, regaining some of his ability to think.
'Holy Light? Those octopus heads and the powers used by humans? No! I'm a noble orc, don't you want me to be your slave! Damn the Light! He was no longer able to speak, but he could think in his head.
But the voice did not blame him, but continued: "Then do you want to die in this strange land in humiliation? A humiliating death as a slave. ”
'No! I don't want to! But the Light! I won't die like you succumb! ’
"Don't you want to go home and see? Behind the Dark Gate, there are still many orcs living in Nagrand, the young orcs have grown up, but they live in the humiliation of their ancestors, and many more orcs are still enslaved by demons, they need a hero to awaken the pride of the orcs, don't you want to be a hero? ”
'Nagrand...... Hero......? Me? I'm just an ordinary orc......
"No, no one is born a hero, but heroes have an unyielding heart, a heart that can sacrifice everything for their clan, don't you want to save your clansmen?"
Of course I do! I am willing to give everything I have for them! …… But I don't have the strength to ......'
"A young chief has rescued orc slaves captured by humans, but there are still tens of thousands of orcs wandering, they are dodging human butcher knives everywhere, living a precarious life, don't you want to rescue them?"
'Chief?! Did someone liberate the orcs!? ’
"That's right! The young leader of the Frostwolf Clan will give hope to the orcs, and he will bring them back to their freedom and glory, but he needs help, humanity will drop the butcher's knife at any moment, and he needs a hero to help him and help the entire orcs through this. ”
'Hero...... May I? ’
"Why not! But only if you survive! Do you want to survive? ”
'I'...... I want to survive, I want to help them. ’
"Call my name then! Orcs! My name is Ansher! Sun God Anshe! Believe in me! I will give you the strength to overcome everything! ”
'Helios!? Are you a god!? ………… Then the sun god Anshe! I hope to receive your blessings! As long as you can help me! I am willing to sacrifice everything to believe in you! ’
"Excellent! But remember! Mortal! The true gods do not need to believe, but you need to believe in the gods, and I will give you the power of the Light, which represents justice, and if one day you dare to turn away from justice, then I will withdraw my blessings to you. ”…………
So an incredible scene appeared, the goblin who was cleaning the battlefield was just about to move Karush's "corpse", a strong dazzling light suddenly appeared, like a small sun, the entire arena was pierced and couldn't open their eyes, and in the middle of this light, Karush's body was being repaired rapidly, the remaining demon blood collapsed under the power of the holy light, muscles, skin, and even bone marrow were completely nourished, and his wounds healed at a visible speed.
But until he was fully healed, the light showed no signs of stabilizing, and the light was still flowing within him, combining with his blood, with his bone marrow, and the light transforming him to become more accustomed to this power, and then the rest was deposited in his body and turned into his power.
The initiator of all this is naturally Zhang Li, as a level 2 peak powerhouse who has been studying holy light all year round, although he doesn't know any holy light spells, but the perennial study of the body of the harpy has made him discover the way for the future blood elf to create a blood knight, so he stole the name of Anshe, intending to turn this orc into the first complete blood knight he made.
Strong mental fluctuations can replace any language, and in the dying moment, Zhang Li can smoothly dive into his sea of consciousness to read this fluctuation.
Firm belief can get the response of the Holy Light, this is how the priests and paladins of the human race get the power of the Holy Light, and the Minotaur is also because of the belief in the sun god Anshe, so there is more than the profession of Daywalker, so as long as this orc can believe in Anshe in the future, then he can naturally get a response from the Holy Light, as for whether the real Anshe will blame him for misappropriating the name, Zhang Li said that there is no pressure, the gods of Azeroth are demigod level except for the will of the world, If a demigod leaves the Kingdom of God (Jade Dream) to trouble him, Zhang Li is really not afraid, and Zhang Li suspects that Anshe is just a fictional god of the Minotaur, he may not exist himself, and the Minotaur may use his name just to be able to make his will firmer, so as to be recognized by the Holy Light, even if the above assumptions are wrong, such as this kind of thing that adds glory to Anshe, I believe that a noble god will not mind, right?
The light finally dissipated, and most of the goblins closest to Karush had regained their sight.
What stunned people was that the orc, who should have been dead, was now standing, and the entire arena was silent for a while.
Karush felt his power incredibly, because Zhang Li completely healed the dark wound in his body, and the cells also became younger because of the transformation of the holy light, this level 1 peak strength orc warrior suddenly broke through into a heroic warrior, no, heroic level paladin.
Karush felt the tremendous power in his muscles, and the disobedient light in his body, and for a moment he was a little incredulous, but what excited him the most was his bronzed skin, which he missed so much, and he trembled and burst into tears.
It wasn't until a goblin next to him regained his sight and saw that he was actually "standing up", and let out a scream of fear that woke him up, otherwise he would probably be able to stay for a while.
"Sun God Anshe, thank you for giving me a new life, I swear, I will always serve you, I swear that I will let your name be circulated among all orcs, I swear that I will never turn away from justice, I will fight for you! Fight for all the orcs! Karoosh knelt before the sun and made his vows.
