Chapter 225: Oath
Bach was drawn in a relatively low order, and after him, there were only three people left who had not yet participated in the assessment, including Varro.
Varro is not really in last place, he has not yet come to the stage is an unplanned situation, mainly because his opponent Habitus has not been there, so Varro can only wait on the side, the situation is a little embarrassing.
But fortunately, Habitus did not release his pigeons in the end, after all, Markruz was also there today, and Habitus had to save face even if he was not satisfied with Gabi's arrangement, so although he was late, he ended up on the training ground.
Seeing that the opponent was a nobody who had never heard of it at all, Habitus had no intention of changing his clothes, so he casually picked up a training sword and said to Varro, "Come on, hurry up, I'll go to the bath later, I hope you can make me sweat a little before taking a bath." ”
Varro didn't say anything more when he heard this, lowered his head and took his trihald fork and fishing net, walked to the stage, and recalled in his mind Zhang Heng's previous advice to him and yesterday's special training.
Now, whether he can pass the assessment or not is up to him.
…………
Zhang Heng's west hut has no windows, and he can't see the outside scene, in fact, even if he does, Zhang Heng won't look at it, he has already handed over everything he can teach to Varro, and the rest can only depend on Varro's own performance and his luck.
Yes, unlike Zhang Heng deliberately creating accidents, Varro really needs some luck if he wants to pass the assessment.
No way, the gap between the main two is too big, just like Zhang Heng said before, no matter whether Habitus will underestimate the enemy, Varro does not have any chance of winning, all he can do is to bring a little trouble to Habitus, and then it will depend on Gabi's meaning.
And Zhang Heng's battle strategy for Varro is also very simple, Zhang Heng asked Varro to try to restore the scene when Bach and Habitus fought before, no matter what method he used, he taught Varro a total of four moves, all in order to disassemble Habitus's move against Bach, as well as possible changes in the future.
Zhang Heng analyzed the character of Habitus in detail to Varro, his attack movements are usually very ornamental, which is why his popularity has always been high, he will subconsciously pursue the attack effect that embarrasses the opponent when fighting, but everything has advantages and disadvantages, which also makes Habitus's seemingly chic combat method traceable.
It had been about ten minutes since Bach had entered the house on the west side, and no one had come in since.
As a result, many people feel that the eleven people left in this room are the last ones to pass the assessment.
Because it is the same batch of graduates, compared to the old gladiators who have been in the gladiator school, there is still a certain affection between everyone, and at this time, whether they are familiar or unfamiliar, they are trying to introduce themselves to others, especially Bach, who has been surrounded by people all the time, because of his outstanding strength, he has been faintly the leader of this group of newcomers, whether it is as a teammate or an opponent in the future, it is better to have a friendship than no friendship.
As if to confirm their conjecture, it wasn't long before Gabi's figure appeared outside the door. The latter still had the same straight face, "Everyone, don't keep your master waiting, if you have talked enough, come out and take an oath, only after taking the oath can you be considered a real gladiator." ”
He didn't enter the door after speaking, turned around and walked back to the training ground.
Zhang Heng frowned, so it seems that Varro's plan failed in the end? Of course, when Zhang Heng helped Varro formulate this plan, he knew that the probability of failure was higher than success, and it stands to reason that this result was not surprising, which could also be seen from the faces of the other people in the room.
But Zhang Heng still has some regrets, after all, it is not easy for Varro to hold on until now, and he is only one step away, if it weren't for the existence of Bach, he would not be so unlucky to meet Habitus, at least he has a chance to show himself fairly.
However, when Zhang Heng walked out of the house behind everyone, he unexpectedly saw Varro on the training ground.
The former antique dealer was being examined by a school doctor to see if he had broken his ribs, and Varro grinned when he saw Zhang Heng.
Zhang Heng knew that this meant that the battle plan that the two had discussed before had an effect in the end, making Gabi decide to keep Varro.
"Okay, don't bother." Gabi said, "Let's hurry. When he said this, he didn't know what he thought of, and he even showed an unprecedented smile, but it flashed away at the corner of his mouth.
At this time, the people who had just passed the assessment on the training ground, including Varro, stood in a row, compared to the fifty people who had just entered the gladiator school, there were now only twelve people left on the training ground, less than a quarter, and the elimination rate was cruel, and the others either took the initiative to terminate the contract with the gladiator school, or were escorted to the mine, working day and night.
"Here are the people who are qualified for this issue, my esteemed master." Gabby bowed to the second floor.
And Makrus's gaze basically stayed on Bach's body, and he did not hide the joy on his face, and nodded when he heard this, "Yes, your work is doing well, I handed over the gladiator school to you, and I really didn't see the wrong person, let them start taking the oath." ”
The newcomers had already recited their oaths last night, but some of them were destined to be useless.
Soon there was a jagged oath on the training ground, "...... I swear that we will fight until the last moment, whether it is scorched with fire, or swords and blood, and for the glory of the Victor Arena, for the dignity of gladiators, we will fight like true warriors, offering our soul and body for our master Makrus......"
As they finished their last sentence, the surrounding trainers picked up a red-hot soldering iron and branded a Latin V representing the Victor Arena on their arms, while slave girls walked in from outside with amphorae and long-necked wine bottles.
And Makrus, who had been sitting in the chair before, also stood up at this time, took the wine glass from the hand of the slave girl beside him, raised it and said, "Welcome, welcome to my gladiator school, as we all know that I am an extraordinarily generous person, as long as you can bring victory to me and the arena, then whether it is money or women, I will not hesitate, in order to celebrate your passing the examination, I have prepared a fine wine for you, and when you return to the room, there is another gift waiting for you, so you are welcome, Revel, my warriors, and if you want more, remember to bring me more victories, and finally, may Nemesses, the goddess of vengeance, always favor you! ”
After saying this, Makruz left the balcony with the help of the two slave girls beside him.
