Chapter 171: Yo, Isn't That a Coincident?
The three-day gladiatorial performance finally entered the final part, and it was also the largest gladiatorial performance in the whole gladiatorial performance.
Seventy-two gladiators from different gladiator schools with their own skills gathered together in the arena today, and they will compete together to fight each other until the final champion is decided.
Unlike the previous twelve-player melee in the Victor Arena, this time there were more gladiators involved, more powerful, and there were no teams, all of them fought alone, and there was no repechage group, in other words, any slight mistake could lead to elimination.
The audience had been waiting for this visual feast for too long, so when the gladiators first appeared on the stage, they erupted in a tsunami-like cheer.
And Satonilos and the others finally came back to their senses at this time, realizing that they were now standing on the highest stage of gladiators, representing their respective gladiator schools, although after yesterday's events, they were completely frightened of Zhang Heng, but this did not mean that they could completely give up the next competition.
Because this gladiatorial performance is very important for all gladiatorial schools, it will determine the rise and fall of the next few years or even more than ten years. Therefore, the masters of each school basically gave death orders, and in addition to asking their gladiators to compete for the championship, they also set minimum goals.
And the vast majority of Satonilos and others are not yet free bodies, and if they can't achieve their goals, they will also face a lot of pressure.
So you can't give up now, they are all powerful and famous gladiators, even if they can't beat Zhang Heng, they can still have the upper hand against other gladiators.
So in the next battle, they just need to pay attention to avoiding Zhang Heng.
However, when the battle really began, the spectators in the stands were surprised to find that those powerful gladiators who had high hopes and felt that they could bring some threats to Zhang Heng had invariably played abnormally.
Satonilos and the others are still affected in the end, these effects are not physical, but mental, compared to other gladiators who are recuperating and preparing for today, many of them have not slept all night, their mental state is very poor, and their reaction and sense of smell of danger have decreased to varying degrees, and they will also be distracted by the situation on Zhang Heng's side when fighting, for fear that they will face the latter in the next battle, which also makes them become constrained.
Of course, their level is there after all, if it is in normal times, they can basically control the rhythm of the battle, but now their opponents are not ordinary gladiators, but the remaining elites after several rounds of fighting, even if the strength is slightly worse than them, but it is not much worse.
So the audience also saw a scene that shocked them, the gladiators who were very famous in Rome before have lost their hands, and even some people who are familiar with Satonilos and Danaeus can't help but wonder if these guys are colluding with the dealer to play a fake match, and want to deliberately lose the battle and be eliminated early, otherwise there is no way to explain their unbearable performance.
On the contrary, Habitus is the best performer among the group that attacked Zhang Heng yesterday.
Although he lost two fingers, he ran away alone after the sneak attack failed, so he also missed the scene of Zhang Heng's ascension, his mental condition was quite stable, and his strength declined purely for physical reasons, just like Zhang Heng said, the loss of two fingers had a great impact on his mastery of weapons.
But Habitus found a solution, and he switched to holding the sword in his left hand and holding the shield in his right hand, which lacked fingers, so that his right hand did not have to make too many difficult movements.
Of course, he doesn't dare to use the shield to catch the opponent's attack now, for fear that the shield will be too strong and the shield will get out of his hand, but fortunately, he is a flexible gladiator, and he has learned some steps from the old Persian trainer, even if it is only a skin, but it is enough to deal with the current battle, and even gradually gain the upper hand.
Habitus also fought hard this time, not wanting the prestige he had accumulated for several years to be wasted, gritted his teeth and showed all his strength, and even did not hesitate to change some of his previous fighting styles, reduced the show-off moves that enhanced the ornamentation, and began to play steadily, and finally succeeded in defeating his opponent and winning the first round.
In addition, Habitus, like Satonilos and others, was paying close attention to Zhang Heng's movements, seeing that Zhang Heng was far away from him, and he had just won against the opponent on the other side, Habitus also hurriedly ended the battle.
But when he saw his opponent in the second round, he couldn't help but be stunned.
The Germanic cracked his mouth at him, baring two rows of teeth, "Yo, isn't this a coincidence, it seems that the grievances between us can finally be resolved." ”
Habitus patronized and paid attention to Zhang Heng before, but he missed Bach, of course, he was almost at the limit, and he didn't have the energy to pay attention to two people at the same time.
If it was before yesterday's incident, Habitus would not be afraid of meeting the Germans at all, because Bach suffered a loss because he was too young, compared to the old fox Habitus, who was still a little worse, and Habitus was at least seventy percent sure that he could win Bach if he was not ten percent.
But now it's different, he is missing two fingers, although he can hold a sword and fight with both left and right hands, but his left hand is not as flexible as his right hand after all, and he barely won the hard battle just now, which took a lot of physical strength and energy, on the other hand, Bach's side won very easily.
In addition, the Germans were obviously premeditated, and they would have won sooner rather than later, but they had to deliberately delay until now to wait for him to take revenge.
Habitus looked at the referee on the side, "We're in the same arena, so it's not reasonable to meet so early." ”
As a result, the referee ignored him and just made a gesture to start a battle, and Bach didn't wait a second before smiling and pounced.
Although the two have always looked at each other not very pleasantly, but Habitus still put Bach and him in the same position in his heart, although he won very easily when the two sides met for the first time, but there were many factors in it, Bach was tired, hungry and tired, and at the same time did not know him well enough, and the enemy suffered a big loss in the end, and was easily played by him.
But this time the Germans came prepared, and as soon as they came up, it was a fierce attack, and he didn't pick the key point of Habitus, that is, he forced the opponent to jump and dodge, and he had to resist his attack head-on.
So Habitus was also unlucky, and after receiving two swords, he felt that his shield had a tendency to fall off, but he had no other solution, and the Germans simply beat him with local rats, without any moves, and without any skill, just a pure storm of attacks to smash down on his head and face.
