Chapter 223: Another Accident
Unknowingly, Gabi also raised his evaluation of Zhang Heng by a notch.
As far as Zhang Heng's current performance is concerned, it is enough to pass the final assessment, but Gabi did not stop, except for the final assessment of the battle that has been stalemate, the final assessment will generally let the two sides of the battle distinguish the winner and loser, and Gabi also wants to see what step Zhang Heng can do, so he just stood aside, said nothing, and waited and watched.
It's not the first time that Galba has been surprised, Zhang Heng didn't surprise him by giving up defense under his pressure, but the boldness of the opponent's attack was still beyond Galba's expectations, Zhang Heng's moves were not very strange, and his strength and speed were only at an ordinary level.
But in this battle of the attack, Garba still fell behind, and the reason is simple.
Because Zhang Heng has two knives, he doesn't have Garba, and he only has one.
Although the double swordsman is considered a profession with a relatively high mortality rate among gladiators, it is not without advantages, and giving up defense also gives up the double swordsman in exchange for super offensive ability, once Zhang Heng starts to attack, Garba has to put more energy into defense, and his own offensive frequency will slow down.
Of course, Garba was not too anxious, because the strength of the fish-helmet fighter was not in attack but in defense, and the half-human-tall shield could cover all the key points as long as it was erected in front of him, plus the helmet on his head, the fish-helmet fighter who took a defensive position was like an impermeable wall.
Of course, the fish-helmet fighter is not invincible in the arena, there are only a few kinds of gladiator professions, each of which has been studied by others, and the guerrilla that Zhang Heng is now taking is the standard method of dealing with the fish-helmet fighter.
The rectangular shield worn by the latter provides superior defense, but it also reduces the agility of the Helmet Fighter.
Zhang Heng is now circling around Galba, the roles of the two are reversed, the person who began to test the attack became Zhang Heng, and Galba stared at the opponent through the gap in the helmet, and as Zhang Heng moved, he also kept turning his body to ensure that the big shield could face the other party every time.
So far, although Garba has not achieved any advantages, he is still very confident, because he has experienced a lot of fierce battles, and he is naturally handy in the face of this situation.
Of course, Zhang Heng's steadiness did come as a bit of a surprise, but Garba firmly believes that the final winner of this battle will be himself.
Many people despise Garba because of his age, and naturally think that Garba's various physical functions have declined, which cannot be said to be wrong, but strictly speaking, Garba's strength, speed and agility have decreased, but only in the attribute of endurance is not decreasing but increasing, plus his physical strength distribution is now more reasonable, if Zhang Heng wants to kill him by relying on his youth, it will fall into Garba's arms.
However, Zhang Heng on the other side didn't seem to realize this, he was still trying to circle around Garba, trying to attack Garba from all angles and directions, but he was blocked by the other party's turtle shell, Galba shrank behind that rectangular shield, of course, in order not to respond passively, he would also take the time to give Zhang Heng a few swords.
But Garba is very cunning, and he will not eat the flaws that Zhang Heng deliberately exposed in order to lure him, and he will leave with one blow every time, never in love with war, but will give him a blow on the arm when Zhang Heng is adventurous.
The trainer who acted as a referee on the side judged that if this sword was a real sword, the wound caused should not be too deep, so he did not stop the fight.
But this sword also made Garba, who had been rewarded, even more convinced that there was nothing wrong with his strategy, and he looked at Zhang Heng as if to say, Boy, you are still a little tender when you fight with me.
Sure enough, that's all there is to it? Gabi, who was watching the game, thought the same thing.
However, Zhang Heng himself still had no expression on his face, he estimated it, and felt that he had almost acted, and he should be able to end the battle, of course, some skills were also needed in the final closing stage.
After all, Zhang Heng's plan is to pass the assessment in a low-key manner, compared to the previous continuous paddling, in this battle, he finally came up with some dry goods, so that Gabi's current impression of Zhang Heng has changed from a mediocre talent to a young gladiator with ordinary physical fitness, but a calm head and a certain training value.
This is enough, this is also the impression that Zhang Heng hopes to leave on others, he does not want to become a star gladiator like Bach, and he has to find a reasonable explanation for his ability to defeat his opponent in the arena in the future.
The degree of this is not so easy to grasp, but it is not too difficult for Zhang Heng.
Yes, when all the rookie gladiators were racking their brains thinking about how to pass the assessment, Zhang Heng was thinking about how to win as low-key and reasonable as possible.
So far, he has done a good job, even Gabi, the well-informed person in charge of the gladiator school, was afraid of being deceived, and he did not suspect Zhang Heng at all that he deliberately concealed his strength, and he probably wouldn't have thought that someone would dare to be bold enough to hide his strength in the final assessment.
But there are also people who have not been deceived by him.
For example, Bach, who had fought with Zhang Heng before, now kept his eyes open all the time and did not blink, for fear of missing any details.
Seeing Zhang Heng's pretending left hand and right hand in slow motion there, Bach couldn't help but pout, what about the stormy attack when you hit me? And when he saw Zhang Heng accidentally cut off his arm by Galba, Bach almost couldn't hold back his scream, you can be cut this tm so how could I not even touch you from beginning to end that night?
Galba's level is good among the gladiators, but just like that, Bach substituted himself into the role of Zhang Heng, and it is estimated that Galba has almost lasted until now, either admitting defeat or waiting to be split in two.
And Zhang Heng was pressing him from beginning to end at that time, and now someone is forcibly opening here, no matter how you look at it, there is an atmosphere of conspiracy, so Bach will look more carefully, he has reviewed the battle between the two of them that night countless times in his mind, but he still can't confirm whether Zhang Heng has the intention to let in, or if it is really just an accident, and today's battle may be able to answer this question that has plagued him for many days.
But in addition, there was another person in the corner who watched the battle intently, that is, the old Persian trainer that Zhang Heng met when he came to the gladiator school on the first day, and he was not responsible for bringing the newcomers, so strictly speaking, this was only the second time the two sides met.
The old trainer didn't know why, he seemed to be very interested in Zhang Heng, of course, because his location was relatively remote, even Zhang Heng didn't notice him.
Moreover, at this time, this small sitcom should almost come to an end, Zhang Heng began to wrap up, and after being injured in his left arm, he changed his previous fighting style and became aggressive.
Seeing this, Garba was secretly happy, did the fish finally take the bait?
And Gabi also made the same judgment, feeling that Zhang Heng was starting to lose his breath, only a voice in Bach's heart was roaring, coming, he was finally coming!
Then he saw that Zhang Heng gave up his attack on Galba's other vital places, and singled out Galba's eyes.
Garba was also taken aback at first, but he was a fish-helmet fighter, and he also wore a protective helmet on his head, he didn't think that the wooden sword in Zhang Heng's hand could hurt him, but soon he realized that the situation was a little wrong, Zhang Heng didn't expect the wooden sword to penetrate through the small gap and hurt his eyes, but to block his vision in this way.
The almost fully sealed voyeurism can effectively protect his head, but it will also make him blind spot to a certain extent, which is also a big reason why Garba wants to follow Zhang Heng in a circle, Zhang Heng is now taking the initiative to close himself and blocking his eyes with a wooden sword, so that he lost Zhang Heng's figure, Garba can only judge Zhang Heng's position according to the voice and the other party's position a second ago.
But even now, Garba still hasn't panicked, because similar tactics haven't been used before.
Until now, he still feels that as long as he keeps it, he will not give the other party any chance.
In fact, Garba also quickly judged Zhang Heng's intentions, and the latter's real attack point was his left waist.
Got you!
A gleam flashed in Garba's eyes, and this time he didn't hide from his defenses again.
Instead, he took the initiative to let go of his portal, and the training sword in his right hand was already ready to go, and he came first, stabbing Zhang Heng's neck before Zhang Heng's weapon slashed at his left waist.
This is not a lose-lose situation, in Garba's calculations, his sword will come first, and this is indeed the case, but what he didn't expect was that the goddess of luck actually favored Zhang Heng at this moment, the latter saw that he was going to fail, and the other hand made a final struggle, and also gave up blocking his vision, but instead stabbed at his helmet, and the result was that this sword was so good that it was inserted into the observation hole left in front of his helmet.
And a little farther away, Bach was about to shoot the case, burst into foul language, accident! Sure enough, it was an accident again!! Can't you just get something new out there?!
