Although the scene in front of him happened too suddenly and seemed extremely unreal, the referee still awarded Zhang Heng and Varro the victory.

The main reason is that there is really no controversy about this result, Julius and Askelly's necks are still in front of the blade, their faces are embarrassed, and they don't seem to have the power to fight back at all, but because Zhang Heng and Varro's side ended too quickly, no other opponent can match them for a while.

But looking at the appearance of the two, it doesn't seem that they need to rest much, especially Varro basically just ran two meters, and the battle was over, and he didn't even sweat, because the victory was too simple, and even made Varro have an unreal feeling, until Zhang Heng withdrew his double knives and returned to his side, Varro woke up like a dream.

"We won?"

"That's right, but it's only the first round." Zhang Heng replied, his expression seemed very calm, as if what had just happened was just a trivial matter.

On the other side, Julius and Asclaire looked a little depressed, they lost too ugly, and they didn't show their strength at all, which is very detrimental in the eyes of the audience, especially the two are not famous, and they are likely to be killed by dissatisfied viewers after the scuffle.

But fortunately, there will be a battle in the lower bracket after that, and because they lost suddenly, they were not injured and consumed much, so they can still have an advantage in the lower bracket battles later, of course, they also need to do their best to fight hard.

On the other side, Nashika also began to exert his strength, he and his opponent had fought before, the two sides knew each other, the strength of the opponent's group was not weak, and he took the initiative to find Nashika.

Nashika knew what the other party's idea was, they put other soft persimmons and didn't pinch them, but instead picked the hardest stone and didn't intend to win from the beginning, obviously executing the loser bracket strategy, and were ready to inflict as much damage as possible on Nashika's group before defeating, consuming Nashika.

Admittedly, this plan at least sounded good, and if all went well, Nashika, the favourite, would make it through the first round, but he would also be injured and likely to be eliminated in the next fight, or the two sides would face each other again in the final battle, which would increase their chances of victory.

Of course, this strategy of deliberately falling into the lower bracket is also quite risky, first, defeat means that it will reduce the audience's love, in other words, it is increasing the risk of death, so star gladiators generally do not deliberately lose, and secondly, they may not be able to kill again from the lower bracket.

The other biggest problem is that the plan doesn't always go the way they envisioned. Now, for example, Nashika suddenly erupted, and he was different from other gladiators, because of his strength, the large shield in his left hand could not only block, but also serve as an offensive weapon.

If he hits him with a shield, he will fall out of the way, or he may be directly hit and fractured.

When they were fighting, the two on the opposite side were also focusing on guarding against Nashika's move, but they still underestimated their opponents a little, not only Nashika, but also Nashika's partner.

The latter is not as famous as Nashika, or he is a little overshadowed by Nashika's light, but this does not mean that he can be ignored, in fact, the two partners have always cooperated tacitly, and make up for each other, Nashika is an attacking type, while his partner is a harassing type, with him on the opposite side often find that he has no choice, and has to fight Nashika.

Now their opponent is in such a situation, when they want to retreat, one of them is entangled, and then Nashika kills, seeing that the opponent is ready to collide, Nashika cunningly put away the big shield, and directly slashed at the opponent's side, although the opponent was finally dodged, but also forced the other party to show a flaw.

Nashika's partner then struck and slashed one of his arm.

The referee on the side didn't raise his eyelids, similar to the situation in the battle of Bahrofos, this sword was not deep, although it seemed to have shed a lot of blood, but it was not fatal, so he would not take the initiative to stop the battle, and it didn't take long for the other person to be injured, also lightly injured, and the two realized what Nashika wanted to do.

Broken Bones obviously saw their intentions, so they used their own way to govern them, not only to defeat them but also to consume them, so that when they fall into the lower bracket and fail to win the next round, the situation will become very serious, and the two of them then remembered that Nashika is notoriously retribution, but now it is too late for them to regret it, it is completely difficult to ride a tiger.

I can't fight and fight, but if I surrender after just such a little injury, the audience can't explain it at all, so the two can only resist hard, no matter what, they have to hold on for a while before they can admit defeat.

But at this time, a sneer flashed in Nashika's eyes, and then he suddenly changed his previous fighting style of fighting, and was caught off guard by the next person who was directly hit in the chest by him with a big shield, this time Nashika did not spare his hand, and the unlucky ghost was directly knocked out, and a few bones must be broken on his body, and his partner saw that the situation was not good, and he was ready to throw away his weapon and admit defeat, but he was entangled again at this critical moment.

After delaying this time, Nashika killed again, raised his sword and fell, and actually cut off one of the target's arms.

This brutal and bloody scene immediately caused a cheer in the stands, and it was not for nothing that Broken Bones was popular, and his cold and violent fighting style was the violent aesthetics of that era.

However, Nashika, bathed in blood, raised his hands to the sky, noticed that the cheers of the crowd did not seem to be as high as before, and when he looked back, he found that Varro was standing aside like a crowd of melon eaters, admiring his heroic appearance.

Nashika frowned, he realized that he might have inadvertently done Varro and Zhang Heng a favor by directly reducing a pair of competitors to them in the lower bracket.

But the next moment, he saw the referee make a gesture and motioned for him and his partner to go to Zhang Heng.

Somewhat bewildered, Nashika said, "We should be the upper bracket." ”

The referee nodded in agreement, "There are only two of you left in the upper bracket." ”

Nashika showed a look of shock, in order to retaliate against the opponent who played a small abacus this time, he took a little more time than usual, but it was not too long, and the other side should only be able to fight for one round at most, but according to the referee, Zhang Heng and Varro had already completed two rounds of fighting, and they won both rounds.

How is this possible? Nashika looked at Varro with a puzzled look, only to find that the latter had no less doubt on his face than he did.
