Chapter 167: Shield Battle

"Kolot, a wandering orc warrior, is suspected to have giant blood, and is adept at using the two greatswords in his hand to confront large creatures head-on...... Is there only such a little information? Looking at the few lines of words on the paper in his hand, the mercenary king couldn't help frowning.

"Yes, although this orc warrior is a believer in the god of war, he is a wanderer who does not belong to any orc clan, so his origin cannot be verified at all." A man in black with his head down said slowly, his tone was always very flat.

"It doesn't matter, anyway, the results of the draw group have come out, this orc warrior and Alice are in different regions, and he has to wait until the final to fight Alice. And by that time, his specific strength would have already been figured out by everyone. The mercenary king shook his head slowly, and put down the information in his hand.

Having said that, the Mercenary King still has a heart for this orc warrior, after all, if this orc warrior really has the blood of a giant, he is definitely a strong contender for the championship throne! But now that the game has just begun, it's hard to say.

After the audition, the 128 strong men who successfully held the position of the champion and entered the official competition slowly entered the big gladiatorial arena in the center of the commercial capital of Sickerd, and the next games will be held here.

The Colosseum is one of the landmarks of the commercial capital of West Kerd, a huge structure that can accommodate nearly 100,000 people at the same time. Of course, these 100,000 people refer to ordinary spectators watching the game from the stands, and VIPs with a certain status naturally watch the game in those boxes.

Each box contains a crystal ball that has been specially treated to connect directly to the "Wizard's Eye" that floats throughout the Colosseum. And the picture seen by the "Wizard's Eye" is projected directly onto the screen, and the clarity and visual effect are absolutely satisfying.

At the very least, it's much more convenient than watching the game from the stands with a magic item with a temporary "Eagle Eye" attached.

It's just the preliminary round. Most of the boxes were still empty, but nearly eighty percent of the seats in the stands outside were already occupied. After all, the mercenary kingdom has always been martial. Even in some gladiatorial competitions in normal times, the attendance rate is nearly sixty percent, let alone now.

Since the results of the draw have been in, all the contestants now know who they will be fighting against, but what makes Roger, who is sitting in the box with Luna, smile bitterly, is that this is only the preliminary round of 128 into 64, and Mom and Granny are already destined to eliminate one of them.

That's right, Mom, who also participated in the competition, ran into Granny directly, which made everyone in the know a little crying and laughing.

In fact. In addition to the fifteen positions occupied by Alice and others, Mom, Garon and Elsa all quietly signed up, after all, Roger did not prohibit them from participating, so Garon and the others ran to join in the fun. However, unlike Garon and Mom, who successfully entered the official competition, Elsa, who was better at concealment, was unfortunately defeated head-on in the ring, and she was hiding in her room at this time to be annoyed.

Of course, thieves and assassins are not themselves suited for this kind of gladiatorial fight, so Elsa's defeat is quite normal. However, Nancy, who was also an assassin, managed to hold the ring and successfully entered the arena. So Elsa was actually very unhappy about it.

Friends who are also from the Eastern tribe know very well that Nancy's ability to hold the ring is inseparable from her peculiar kicking skills. And that kind of kicking technique Roger also wanted to teach Aisha, but unfortunately he practiced for two days. Unable to stand that kind of suffering, Aisha gave up. Now seeing that Nancy relied on her kicking skills to make it to the official game, Aisha immediately regretted it.

It's a pity that even the continent of Elia. I also have no regrets about selling medicine.

And in sixty-four gladiatorial battles, the probability of so many people running into each other is not low. But no one else had as dramatic as the one between Mom and Grannie. So when Mom and Granny slowly walked into the arena at the same time, the whole arena suddenly boiled.

The same is female. The same is the shield warrior, although the equipment of Mom and Granny is slightly different, but the spectators in the stands have already raised their interest and started to discuss when they found those things in common.

Because in the previous games, the contrast between strength and weakness is quite obvious, so the odds offered by those who sit in the bank are not high, but now there are two shield battles that seem to be not much different, and some good gamblers have even eagerly begun to bet.

However, the noise from the outside world under that layer of powerful enchantment did not affect the two people on the field at all, they just put on a similar posture and looked at each other silently.

With the sound of the horn "the game begins", both of them charged at each other at the same time, and the two huge shields suddenly collided together.

"Bang!"

In the sound of the collision, the two of them put their shoulders against the shield in unison and began a duel of strength.

Although it is said to be an "instructor", in fact, except for Roger, Garon and the others, the strength on the surface actually seems to be only eighteen or nineteen levels similar to Alice and others. However, compared to Alice and the others, who had only been trained for three months, Garon and the others had already started exercising with Roger a few years ago. Therefore, in these three months of training, when usually fighting alone, several instructors such as Garon, who can always better exert their strength, have the upper hand.

The same is true at this time.

Although Granny had already used all her strength at the beginning, Mom's shield still pressed directly against him like a mountain, forcing both shields to slowly tilt towards Grannie.

Granny took a deep breath and jumped back with the terrifying force of Mom's shield, and then before she could stand firmly, Granny rushed forward again, and the shield in her hand slapped violently to Mom's side.

However, Mumu, who stabilized his body in time, took advantage of the situation to block Grannie's shield attack with his shield, and then on the side of his body, the war hammer in his right hand had already smashed directly into Grannie's shoulder with a whistling wind. Slightly shorter. Escaping the hammer, the sword in Grannie's right hand sprang out like a snake, aiming it right in Mom's eyes.

The shield was slightly raised. Grannie's sword ended up slashing only a series of sparks at Mom's shield.

Grannie, who retreated again, looked at Mom, who had shielded her body with a shield, and her eyes were full of solemnity.

He is also a shield warrior. It's not the first time Granny and Mom have played each other. However, in every fight, it is always Granny who is at the disadvantage.

Compared to Mom, who is an orc hybrid, Grannie, who is a pure-blooded human, is completely inferior to Mom in terms of physical strength and strength. However, in terms of agility and speed, Granny has a slight advantage, but unfortunately it is useless.

Looking at Grannie, who was holding the [Rock] shield motionless, Mother stepped forward directly and slapped a shield blow on Grannie's shield, and then received another hammer blow, knocking the unstable Grannie back two steps directly.

But wait until the hammer is recovered. Looking at Grannie, who had already protected the shield tightly in front of her and was unscathed, a look of helplessness flashed in Mumu's eyes.

Although she was able to easily suppress Grannie with her superior strength every time, it took a lot of time for Mum to finally defeat Grannie every time, which made Mum feel very unhappy. However, it was also a shield battle, and once Grannie tried her best to defend, Mom really didn't have a good way to defeat such an opponent quickly.

After all, everyone knows the bottom line.

And Grannie, who was holding the shield with all her might, was also very helpless to look at the long sword in her hand. Unlike Mom, who wields a warhammer, Granny has always used a longsword. But although the long sword in Granny's hand is also very sharp, it is definitely worthy of the heavy armor on Mom's body.

However, the hammer in Mom's hand was enough to pose a threat to Grannie, who was also heavily armoured. So compared to Mom, who was dissatisfied with the fact that it would take a lot of time to defeat Grannie, Grannie didn't even have the slightest certainty of defeating Mom.

But now is not the time for hell training, and if you lose, there really is no chance of doing it all over again.

Naturally, Granny was unwilling to fail like this. He began to rack his brains to think of a solution, but Mom and Granny knew each other very well, and even many tricks were useless. Therefore, Grannie, who couldn't think of any good way, really sighed helplessly.

But just as Granny tried to pull herself together, she once again blocked Mom's attack. Grannie, whose gaze inadvertently swept over the sun in the sky, suddenly moved in her heart.

Before Mother could attack again, Granny stepped forward to attack. Mumu, who didn't expect this, suddenly became a little confused. But Mom's strength is higher than Grannie's after all, and Grannie's counterattack didn't have much effect.

For Grannie's sudden counterattack, Mom was somewhat suspicious in his heart. However, Grannie's counterattack was quite fierce, and Mom could only temporarily put aside the doubts in his heart and concentrate on resisting Grannie's attack.

After all, Mom's strength was higher than Grannie's, and he soon suppressed Grannie again. However, just as Mumu breathed a sigh of relief, Granny directly erupted with a strong fighting spirit and launched a counterattack again.

Mum, who was faintly aroused a little angry in his heart, suddenly also broke out with a fighting spirit, and attacked with Grannie, and a series of "bang", "bang" and "bang" collisions suddenly sounded on the field.

With a stronger force, Mom once again withstood Grannie's shield blow, and landed a hammer on Grannie's shield with a backhand.

With a "bang", Mom's hammer actually knocked down Grannie's shield directly, and Mom, who subconsciously felt wrong, suddenly frowned, but the war hammer in his hand still knocked on Grannie.

Granny held her sword in both hands, as if she was about to parry the hammer. However, with a slight turn of Grannie's wrist, the long sword lit up, and suddenly dazzled Mom's eyes.

Mumu, who subconsciously closed his eyes slightly, immediately knew that something was wrong, but compared to other weapons, the war hammer and tomahawk, which belonged to heavy weapons, belonged to the kind of weapon that was difficult to control castration once attacked, so Mumu could only try to protect his body with a shield.

When Mom opened his eyes again, he saw that the hammer in his hand had landed on Grannie's left shoulder, and Grannie was clutching her shield tightly in her right hand, and the sword in her left hand was pressed against her neck.

No matter how much heavy armor covers the whole body, it is impossible to completely protect the neck, and there will always be some gaps. And the position that Grannie's longsword points to is the gap that is not protected by the neck guard.

The winner is decided. (To be continued......)
