Zhang Heng ushered in a relatively long period of rest after taking out the archers, mainly because after witnessing his miraculous slash, the last bit of illusion in the hearts of the other gladiators was shattered, and no one wanted to be his next opponent.

In the end, it was the "giant" Telephilos who stepped forward.

He was a heavy-armored gladiator, and unlike other heavy-armored gladiators, because he had sufficient strength, he didn't need to worry about too much defensive equipment affecting his movement, so he was covered with armor everywhere he could wear armor, and he also held a large shield in his hand.

Now he's like a mobile fortress.

In addition to Zhang Heng, he is also the best person on the field, he has already killed two opponents, and no one can stop him, but in the next battle, he knows that he will face the biggest challenge of his gladiator career.

Therephilus' expression also became solemn.

The big man wasn't stupid, he knew how tricky his opponent was, but he didn't think he had any chance of winning.

And the audience in the stands also began to get excited at this time, because of the sudden collective malaise of Satonilos and others, Telephilos is probably the first heavyweight opponent Zhang Heng encountered, and the audience is looking forward to what kind of sparks can be generated by the collision of the two.

As usual, Tryphilos did not rush to attack, but put on a defensive posture, and at the same time said, "What did you do to Satonilos and them, and why did they all look listless?" ”

"I didn't do anything," Zhang Heng said truthfully, "I have always felt that the real horror is never the thing that brings fear itself, but the human being's own expectation of fear, which will magnify your fear of fear hundreds or thousands of times." ”

Telphilos didn't seem to understand, but he didn't bother with the question, he half-crouched down, completely hiding his body behind the shield, leaving only half of his helmet head outside, "Come on, no matter how you win or lose this battle, I haven't come to Rome City in vain to be your opponent." ”

Zhang Heng has always been very polite to polite people, and he also replied when he heard this, "The observation hole on your helmet is too large, and my sword can be stabbed into it, but don't worry, I won't attack your eyes, in addition, your turn is too slow, so next I will focus on attacking behind you, especially the gap between your helmet and armor, you better be prepared." ”

Telphilos was stunned when he heard this, he had participated in a lot of battles, and he had never met anyone who told his opponent his intentions before the fight started, which made Telpholos a little suspicious that Zhang Heng was using psychological warfare and planned to attack the west.

But he didn't have time to think about it, and the next moment the oriental man had already rushed over.

Telephilos immediately raised his vigilance, only to find that Zhang Heng did not use his agility to go around behind him as he had said before, but just rushed directly to his front.

Is this going to be tough?

Tryphilos was a little incomprehensible, to talk about his combat skills, agility, speed, balance...... may all lag behind Zhang Heng, but he is the only one who has the advantage in the attribute of strength, and Telephilos doesn't understand why Zhang Heng wants to attack his strengths with his shortcomings, could it be that this Oriental in front of him is extraordinarily arrogant?

Despite the doubts in his heart, Tetraphilos was ready, leaning forward with his shoulders and preparing for the impact, while his other hand also clenched his weapon, ready to attack when Zhang Heng's body was knocked out of balance.

Tryphilos knew that the opportunity was only for a moment, but if he could grasp it, he might be able to take the initiative in the next battle, but then he felt his shield sink.

Zhang Heng rushed over, but instead of attacking him, he jumped up from the ground, stepped on the edge of his shield, and then crossed his head with his strength, and at the same time swung the Persian sword in his hand.

The other party's bold change caught Tetraphilos off guard. When the rabbit fell, Zhang Heng had already circled behind him. So Tellophiros's heart also sank, but at the critical moment, he still remembered Zhang Heng's previous reminder, and at this time, he didn't have time to tell whether this reminder was deliberately misleading, and hurriedly put the short sword behind his neck.

So the audience in the stands saw a scene that made them jaw-dropping, Zhang Heng's body jumped over the half-crouching Tryphilos, and before they had time to applaud this imaginative run, they saw that Tryphilos blocked Zhang Heng's assault with a short sword as if he had long eyes behind him.

The first round of the fight between the two was like a dragonfly, Zhang Heng missed the blow and took the initiative to open up some distance with Tellophiros, and the giant who was in a cold sweat also hurriedly turned his body with a big shield, and the two sides re-entered the confrontation stage.

Although it was only for a short moment, the audience in the stands applauded this wonderful scene, including His Majesty the Emperor, who did not hesitate to praise him, which was not only for Zhang Heng, but also for Zhang Heng's opponent Telyphilos.

As a result, the giant's weather-beaten face couldn't help but flush like a little girl.

Telphilos knew very well that this seemingly evenly matched round was not a true reflection of his own strength, if Zhang Heng didn't open his mouth to remind him, he would definitely not be able to keep up with the opponent's movements, in other words, he would have been defeated with just one move.

Telphilos now understands a little bit why Satonilos and the others are so afraid of Zhang Heng, they were already under pressure just watching Zhang Heng fight from a distance, but when they faced Telphios in person, they could really find out how strong Zhang Heng was, and the two sides were not of the same magnitude at all.

The funny thing is that he still had the illusion that as long as he played perfectly, plus a little luck, he would not necessarily lose, but the cruel reality told him that this was just his dream, and the upright Tetraphilos even didn't want to fight anymore, and planned to throw away his weapon and surrender.

However, Zhang Heng opened his mouth at this time, "Want to admit defeat? You can't be so squeamish, are you? ”

"Of course not," said Tetraphilos, angrily, "but it's not interesting to fight like this, I admit that I can't beat you, but I don't need your mercy, and I deliberately let myself lose nicely." ”

"You think I'm just pointing you out to make you lose better?" Zhang Heng asked rhetorically.

"Otherwise, are you trying to make fun of me?" Tellophiros said indignantly.

Zhang Heng shook his head, "Look around you, look at the spectators in the stands, they have been waiting for so many days, just to wait for a wonderful gladiatorial performance, if they can't satisfy them, they won't let us go, I originally wanted to count on Satonilos and them to have a little courage, but now it seems that they have little hope, so I can only rely on you now, come on, let's join forces to dedicate a wonderful gladiatorial performance to the audience." ”
