Chapter 158: Makrus's Troubles

The gladiator in charge of receiving the gladiator school was a somewhat lame Slav.

He led everyone to gather in the arena first, familiarize themselves with the venue, and then wait for everyone to gather and reiterate the rules of the battle again, in the morning, the basic arrangement is the performance of the beast fighters, the arena from all over the country to collect a lot of rare beasts, can be for the beast fighters to show their taming skills or beasts to show their appetite.

In the afternoon, it was the turn of the gladiators to appear, similar to the gladiatorial performances that Zhang Heng had experienced in the Victor Arena before, and the gladiator performances in the Flavi Amphitheater were also divided into many events, and no matter what the event, only the winning gladiators could advance to the next round of battles.

In the end, 72 warriors will be selected in the arena to participate in the final melee.

Yes, the situation is very similar to the twelve-person melee that Zhang Heng participated in before, but each gladiator fights alone, and the final winner is the champion of this gladiatorial performance.

On the surface, this is also a very fair way to fight, but in reality it is not, as we all know, there are many types of gladiators, even the most popular twelve-player melee in the Victor Arena does not put all types of gladiators together, because some gladiators have too buggy professions, such as knight gladiators and chariot gladiators, the former is equipped with horses, the latter is directly driving chariots, in addition to the archery gladiators.

In general, gladiators of these special classes played their own games, such as shooter vs. shooter, chariot vs. chariot.

However, in order to increase the enjoyment, this gladiatorial performance brought all the gladiators together for the first time, so that even the popular gladiators who were favored by everyone before had the possibility of overturning if they accidentally faced a stronger profession, but on the contrary, the gladiators who won the championship in the end will also be full of gold.

Zhang Heng also met a few old acquaintances when he was familiar with the venue, the power of the nicknamed giant, the mad Therephilos, the Thracian Danaeus of the Isaiah Arena, and of course, the Satonilos he had just feuded with, the latter had been looking at him coldly, Zhang Heng believed that as long as there was a chance in the gladiatorial performance in the future, Satonilos would definitely kill him without hesitation.

There are also some special classes of gladiators that are also worth noting.

Zhang Heng and the others only did a little warm-up practice, and then they were taken to the side lounge, where they would wait until it was their turn to play, but fortunately, breakfast and lunch were prepared for them in the arena, and there were two small training rooms next door if they needed.

Makrus also arrived at the Flavi Amphitheater to boost the morale of his gladiators, "Everyone, it's time to test the promise you once made to protect the honor of the Victor Arena, when you stand on the field, you represent not only yourself, but also the arena behind you, so no matter who your opponent is, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, show your strength and courage, Nemessis, the goddess of revenge, will always favor you!" ”

After Makruz finished speaking, he deliberately glanced at Zhang Heng again, and the latter also nodded at him.

Seeing this, Makruz felt a little relieved, he wiped the sweat from his forehead, although the gladiatorial performance did not require him to play, but considering that this performance was likely to affect the rise and fall of the gladiator schools for at least the next ten years, which meant a lot of money, he didn't even get a good night's sleep last night.

In addition, he also saw what Gabi meant when he said that Zhang Heng was not easy to control.

The conflict between the latter and Satonilos last night was definitely something he didn't want to see, but fortunately, the final result was a draw, and Zhang Heng also had a slight advantage, but Makruz felt that this battle was completely unnecessary from the perspective of risk and return, and there was not much benefit in winning, if he lost, the foreign gladiator who was smashed in his head before was Zhang Heng's end, so before the gladiatorial performance began, Victor Economy lost his trump card first.

In addition, he could also see that Zhang Heng wanted to win Commodus's favor, which was consistent with his interests, and Makrus naturally hoped that His Majesty the Young Emperor would notice his gladiator school and come to the Victor Arena to watch the performance, which was more effective than any publicity, but Zhang Heng had not discussed this matter with him before, it was completely self-made, and at the same time, there was a faint sense of wanting to take the line of Commodus to break away from the gladiator school, which also made Makruz a little uncomfortable.

But now he needs Zhang Heng to win the championship of this gladiatorial performance for him, so even if he has any ideas, he can only press it first, and as for other things, he can only wait until the gladiatorial performance is over.

Of course, if Zhang Heng really wins the championship, it will be further out of the control of Makrus, but this can be regarded as some kind of happy trouble, Makruz did not stay in the gladiator's lounge for long, and left after a few words of encouragement, there is his place in the stands, and he will watch the battle there next.

As soon as he left with his front foot, another figure on his back foot appeared in front of Zhang Heng.

When Satonilos got up and walked towards Zhang Heng, the guards in the lounge immediately drew their weapons and loudly warned the former, no matter what the rest room of the arena is, gladiators are strictly forbidden to do it here, and no matter what kind of grievances there are between the two sides, they should be resolved on the field.

However, Satonilos ignored those warnings and walked straight to Zhang Heng's side and spoke.

"I'll pray for you, Oriental, that you can win all the way to the final scuffle, because then your head will be mine, and as long as I get my weapons, what happened last night won't happen again."

"It's true." Zhang Heng nodded when he heard this, "If we all take weapons, what happened last night really wouldn't have happened." ”

The guards in the lounge were forced by the pressure brought by Satonilos, so they had to call their companions not far away, but by the time he gathered his manpower, Satonilos had already returned to his seat and no longer looked at Zhang Heng.

And it didn't take long for everyone to hear footsteps and commotion overhead, and knew that it was the beginning of the audience's entry.

The gladiatorial show was prepared by the Senate and financed by the royal family, specifically for the entertainment of the people in the city of Rome, and therefore did not charge any fees, although it had 90,000 seats, but compared to the population of 1.5 million in Rome, it was still quite insufficient.

Needless to say, the nobles had a corresponding area for them to sit, while the commoners needed a kind of domino if they wanted to enter, which was somewhat similar to the concert tickets of later generations, with the seat number of the stands engraved on it, as well as the gate number and area of the entrance, to ensure that everyone could enter in an orderly manner.
