Chapter 7: The Colosseum

"A year of service in the front-line army?"

Zhang Yu's brows couldn't help frowning.

This condition is not undemanding.

Where is the frontline army of the Great Xia Kingdom?

In the East Great Wilderness! In the barren mining area!

The Great Xia Kingdom is a very large country, and there are internal and outer regions.

Among them, there are nine provinces in the inner region and seventeen provinces in the outer region, with a population of over 100 million!

Coupled with the flow of funds, infrastructure and military expenditures of the Great Xia Kingdom, the resources consumed each year are simply astronomical.

Where do these resources come from?

Minerals, of course!

The Eastern Wilderness is vast and boundless, and although it is full of viruses and dead lands, it is particularly rich in mineral resources.

In order to obtain these minerals, the Great Xia Kingdom needs to send a steady stream of troops to mine, and those mining troops that go deep into the Great Wilderness can be regarded as real front-line troops.

The army guarding Wuguan is at best second-line.

Zhang Yu couldn't help frowning, he was born and grew up in the Great Wilderness. The Great Wilderness is full of danger and terror, and he naturally knows this.

Generally, some people in the Great Wilderness want to join the Great Xia Kingdom, of course, to avoid those dangers and horrors, but the condition is to serve in the mining army for one year, which is inevitably too harsh.

"That's why I said, you're doing a good job."

The guard said with a smile, "This time, a nobleman came to Wuguan to bring people to the provincial capital to be gladiators. ”

Zhang Yu said: "Gladiator? How did I hear that gladiators die quite a few times a year......"

"The dead are definitely going to die, do you think those nobles asked you to go back to your home?"

The guard said nonchalantly, "Compared to the 30% annual mortality rate of the mining army, the mortality rate of gladiators is less than 20%, which is very low. ”

Zhang Yu couldn't help but be silent.

Great wilderness people, too bitter!

If you stay in the Great Wilderness, you can only survive by planting a little thin grain every year, and you have to beware of the Kuroshio Tide every year, in case of bad luck, you may not harvest all year round.

If you leave the Great Wilderness and come to the Great Xia Kingdom, it will be such a dilemma!

I am a great wilderness people, who did I provoke whom?

Zhang Yu was angry in his heart and wanted to roar at the sky.

……

Soon, the line was lined up with Zhang Yu and Zuo En.

A simple form was handed to him, and after a cursory glance, a line of particularly eye-catching words came into view.

"I agree to join the Provincial Colosseum of Andong Province for a period of 2 years. After expiration, you can obtain fourth-class citizenship and decide for yourself whether to stay or not. ”

On the form, the seal has been stamped, and after Zhang Yu signs it, he can join the gladiatorial arena of Andong Province.

Of course, you can also give up, but if you still want to enter the Great Xia Kingdom, you have to go to the front-line mining army.

As for the quota of some logistics troops, it can be considered a gimmick, such an option simply does not exist!

Quickly sign your name on the form to indicate that the law has come into effect.

Joan followed.

The two followed the people in front of them and squeezed into the big truck that had been prepared in the gladiatorial arena long ago.

"Damn, this space is too small."

"The Colosseum is so poor? Can't you prepare a few more cars? ”

"Squeeze Lao Tzu to death......"

In the back of the truck, babbling and complaining were endless.

There are no seats in the carriage, and it is a large iron carriage for pulling goods, a total of two cars. Each truck had to squeeze in about fifty adults, and it felt like it was almost face to face.

Zhang Yu relied on his strong physical fitness and steadily occupied a corner.

From time to time, someone squeezed over, but was immediately pushed back unceremoniously by Zhang Yu.

After a while, the inside of the carriage became quiet.

Click!

The iron fence of the truck was locked outside, and more than 100 young men from the Great Wilderness rushed to the gladiatorial arena of Andong Province as if they were being pulled by animals.

As for Kuroshio......

With the defenders of the Great Xia Kingdom here, who can take care of so much.

……

At dawn.

The truck arrives at the gladiatorial arena in Andong Province.

The gladiatorial arena is divided into two parts: the audience area and the living area.

The audience area is a circular building like an iron bucket, so huge that two adults may not be able to hold each other on any pillar.

The living quarters are like a prison!

More than a hundred people from the Great Wilderness got off the station, and the guards around them were really guarded, they were also mutants, and they were the army used by the nobles to maintain order in the gladiatorial arena.

The leader is a young man, who looks like he is in his twenties, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and his appearance is very handsome. A well-fitting blue army uniform outlines his well-proportioned and powerful physique.

However, unlike the army insignia, the insignia on his chest is in the shape of a knife and a sword crossed, which represents the standard attire of the immediate officers of the gladiatorial arena.

"Hello warriors from the Great Wilderness.

There was a faint pride between the young man's eyebrows, and his slightly raised chin represented his contempt for the people in front of him.

"I don't have much time, and I hope you will listen carefully to everything I say, because I don't have the patience to say it a second time."

"My name is Bi Yuntao, a six-rank evolutionary, the person in charge of the gladiatorial arena in Andong Province, and your direct leader."

There was a buzz, and the crowd began to riot.

The Great Xia Kingdom is different from the Great Wilderness, the Great Wilderness likes to be called a mutant, while the Great Xia Kingdom likes to be called an evolutionary. Although the two are called differently, their strength is the same.

In other words, the young man in front of him was only in his twenties, and he was already a six-rank mutant.

Too young!

"Ahem!" Bi Yuntao coughed lightly, and the noise of the crowd suddenly quieted down.

Seeing this, Bi Yuntao's eyebrows couldn't help but reveal a look of pride.

He was born in a noble family, with the support of his family, and finally became a six-rank evolutionary at the age of twenty-six, this terrifying speed has broken the record of the youngest in Andong Province, which is also the most proud thing in his life.

"I don't care where you came from, or whether you were forced to accept the status of gladiator, in short, everything in my jurisdiction must be done according to the rules! But whoever disobeys, the official has the right to punish him, do you hear clearly? ”

"Listen--clear-chu-it-"

The crowd stretched out their voices and replied casually.

sneered, Bi Yuntao didn't care too much, because these people were not gladiators after all.

A true gladiator, brave, fearless, and fierce, in addition to experiencing life-and-death battles, but also having a sense of crisis in the face of danger at any time.

And in his opinion, these people in front of him are scattered, weak, and have no sense of crisis, and I am afraid that they don't even know what they will face next.

"I wonder what the mortality rate of the newcomers will be this time? Will it be more than 30%? Bi Yuntao narrowed his eyes and couldn't help rubbing his hands in anticipation.
