Volume III Spartacus Chapter 63 The Rite of Passage
The days that were originally peaceful and waveless were suddenly broken by an unexpected game.
The purpose of this contest was originally to celebrate the coming-of-age ceremony of the son of the governor of Capua. Therefore, all the nobles from all walks of life in Capua were present, and it was really full of friends. There is rich in talking and laughing, and there is no vain in contact.
On such an important occasion, this match must have been given high expectations, so the two people who had a combat exhibition match were Spartacus and Jin Zhan.
This arrangement is naturally reasonable and in line with all viewing tastes, and legend and drama coexist.
However, to everyone's surprise, the protagonist of this celebration, the son of the governor of Capua, changed his mind after an afternoon of hard work.
Originally, he admired Spartacus and Jin Zhan, two newly rising legendary gladiators. But who would have thought that he would take the initiative to change the candidate for the competition.
It was even stranger to propose to replace Spartacus with the little-known gladiator Vero.
Vero served in the Battitas family for a short time, and his participation in exposed competitions was even rarer.
In this case, it was really difficult for everyone to understand why the kid would abandon Spartacus, who was shrouded in the aura of the Shadow Slaughter Hero, and let Vero, a rookie, perform.
Even Batitas himself simply did not understand this decision of his. Vero is optimistic and kind, and his martial arts combat level is also in the middle of the gladiators, if there is any characteristic of him, it is that he is decent and has no characteristics.
However, doubts are doubts, and Batitas, as the owner of the organizer, has no room for hesitation at all. After all, so many hot eyes are staring at him.
He tried his best to find a way to temporarily package Vero, and also publicized Vero's technical and tactical level to everyone, which can be regarded as a hasty explanation to the public.
So such a strange game was carried out abruptly.
Today's Jin Zhan, after experiencing the test of the Shadow of Death, has comprehensively improved his technical and tactical abilities and his will to fight and confidence. Especially since I found that my right hand muscles and motor nervous system have awakened, it is even more out of control.
Not only did it unlock a lot of technical moves that were completely unusable before, but it also made up for the fatal shortcomings of his lack of attack threat. If Jin Zhan was facing the Shadow of Death now, the dagger that leaned over at that time could easily abolish the entire supporting foot of the Shadow of Death, leaving him with no chance of turning the tables.
Vero is dwarfed by that. But considering the viewing experience of the audience, Jin Zhan had to restrain his actual combat performance. Maintain a weak rhythm for a long period of time and play a suitable offense and defense.
Seeing that Jin Zhan was playing easily and with constant clever moves, Vero also began to relax and attack with all his might. In his opinion, although the strength of Jin Zhan's weapon was far inferior to his own, he had already begun to enter the house.
And Jin Zhan's strength is quite weird, and when his own weapons clash with him, there is always an indescribable and inexplicable dark energy. If you are not careful, your attack will be led astray by this hidden force, and you will not achieve the effect you expected at all.
What's even more uncomfortable is that after a long time of fighting, Jin Zhan seems to know his movements well, and frequently makes moves to hit in the gap between his changing movements and alternating offense and defense. Let him be overwhelmed, and every inch will be in chaos.
In fact, Jin Zhan had already tried his best to control the tempo, otherwise he would have defeated his flawed opponent countless times.
Up to now, in the eyes of outsiders, this is still a close and exciting game. And there was no one-sided situation as expected.
But after all, the show can only be maintained to a certain extent, otherwise the effect will be counterproductive.
Therefore, Jin Zhan quickly leaned over and turned around in a staggered position with Vero, and changed the sword momentum in his hand to a horizontal slap, hitting Vero's supporting leg that had not yet stood firm.
Vero struggled to keep his balance and fell uncontrollably to the floor, Jin Zhan's short sword resting on his neck.
This game has come to an end.
So far, this game is quite interesting. All the guests had a satisfied look on their faces. There were also many people clapping and applauding.
However, there was no sparkle in the eyes of the son of the governor of Capua. When the cheering subsided, Bartitas symbolically asked the guest of honor for his opinion.
"Little boy, you see that the outcome of this game has been decided, I don't know if you are satisfied with it, and the rest of the matter will be handled by you." It was quite appropriate to say something, and it gave enough face to the Kapua administrator.
But Batitas didn't expect the kid on the other side to say the astonishing words next.
"It's a game that has been decided. Then I demand the execution of the losers! Jin Zhan uses your sword to kill your opponents! ”
These short words don't seem to contain any human emotions at all. The bone-chilling sentence made almost everyone present shiver.
What a contempt for human nature! Watching a good exhibition match in someone's mansion, but he also wants to kill a precious gladiator.... This is still from the mouth of a young man with such a young and immature appearance, which makes people feel even more creepy.
But when everyone digested the shock, they had to react, since Batitas had handed over the follow-up handling of the game to this teenager, then he made this request to deal with the loser, and no one could stop him at all.
After all, this is still the coming-of-age ceremony for the son of the dignified Kapua administrator. If his authority and confidence were easily attacked at this coming-of-age ceremony, it would undoubtedly be a direct slap in the face to the Kapua administrator.
After thinking about this, everyone present did not dare to say anything, no matter how close they were to Batitas.
Batitas himself stood on the spot. Even if he is sleek and sophisticated, it is difficult for him to think of any good way to deal with it in a short period of time.
And this hesitation of his immediately aroused the displeasure of the administrator of Capua. Seeing the other party's dissatisfied eyes, Batitas could only helplessly announce the decision to execute his men.
This is undoubtedly a slap in the face for him Batitas in public. In the gladiator competition held in his own home, he was actually executed by a stinky child, and a gladiator who had been trained with a lot of money was executed.
It's hard to accept it with reason and reason! But what can he do with the cruel facts in front of him? But just as he was about to give the order the next moment, a voice suddenly sounded in the field.
"Forgive me!"
