Chapter XXVIII
"Yes, Arres, we are sure of that!" Cabal and Eumes looked at another champion gladiator, Lagseus, with ambiguous expressions.
Looking at the mocking eyes of the two companions, Lagerseus was full of reluctance, twisted his body uneasily, hesitated for a long time, and then said: "No, I am already a free man now!" ”
Xu Mo had already understood at this time, walked to Ragseus's side, wrapped his arms around his shoulders, held back a smile, and pretended to be serious: "Ragseus, for the sake of those gladiator brothers, for the sake of freedom, you must show the courage of a champion gladiator!" ”
"Okay, I see!" Ragseus looked at everyone, and finally said weakly like a deflated ball.
"Lagerseus, you are a double champion gladiator, and you are in the gladiatorial arena, and you are also on the bed of a noblewoman. You don't have anything to lose anyway, do you? They used to you, but now you're free, you can see that it's you them, hahaha! Cabal couldn't help but laugh.
"You look for death, Carthaginian puppy!" Annoyed, Ragseus threw himself at Cabal.
A group of gladiators fought for a long time, and finally settled on the most suitable person in Pompeii to help them. It turned out that after Lagerseus became the champion gladiator of the Bardax gladiator school, because of his handsome appearance and brave performance in the gladiatorial arena, he captured the hearts of many noble ladies and ladies in Pompeii.
Among these women were aristocratic ladies and ladies who were willing to sacrifice everything for Lagerseus, and these women more than once sought to redeem Badacus for Lagerseus, and some single aristocratic women were even willing to lose their family for it. It's just that Ragtheus is at the peak of the champion gladiator, so Bardax reluctantly gives up this cash cow, which has been dragging on and not letting Ragseus redeem himself.
After some selection, Xu Mo and the others finally picked out a single noble lady among these women. This aristocratic lady was Claudia, the daughter of the governor of Pompeii before Lucius came to power. It is said that it was because Claudia's father died suddenly and violently that Lucius came to power.
There were some private rumors among the Roman nobles in Pompeii that Claudia's father was killed by Lucius. However, because Lucius was clever in politics and won over other nobles in Pompeii, and there was no evidence, Claudia was still young at that time, and was constantly ostracized and snubbed by other nobles, and the matter was finally closed.
After her father's death, Claudia also paid someone to find out the whole story, but in the end, these people either fled with the money or were found dead on the street. Over time, Claudia also became depressed, and began to indulge in sensuality, obsessed with the gladiatorial arena, and anesthetized herself with bloody sensory stimulation.
This continued until she saw Lagerseus in the gladiatorial arena, and Lagerseus' bravery and handsomeness conquered her in an instant. Claudia began to constantly bet gold coins on the gladiatorial battles of Lagerseus, at that time, Lagerseus, who had just debuted, was not optimistic, and Claudia, who was really bathed in love for the first time, did not understand the advantages and disadvantages of gladiator fighting skills, she was just blindly betting.
Claudia's Prince Charming did not disappoint, though, as Lagerseus conquered the entire Campania plain of southern Italy in just a few months, becoming one of Pompeii's champion gladiators.
Claudia's satrap father had left a large inheritance to his only daughter after his death, although Claudia did not know how to manage money, and her daily expenses were wasted, but her investment this time made Claudia once again the richest single female star in Pompeii, and for a while, the aristocratic suitor stepped through the threshold.
After her father's death, Claudia, who had experienced the warmth and coldness of human affection, rejected all noble suitors and devoted herself to Lagerseus, who brought her love and wealth. And he made no secret of his admiration for Lagerseus, not only often spending a lot of dinars to spend the night with Lagerseus, but also visited Bardax several times and asked for redemption for Lagerseus.
A single aristocratic woman who can make her own decisions, the daughter of the former governor of Pompeii, a rich woman who is willing to go bankrupt for Lagercius, and even better is that this nobleman actually has a personal enmity with Governor Lucius, and after his father's death, he was ostracized and snubbed by other nobles in Pompeii. After listening to the family history of this noble lady, Xu Mo immediately made a decision, it was her!
Lagerseus was visibly relieved to see that he needed to dedicate himself to the target of the eldest lady again. Even if it is for the sake of his companions and brothers, but let him serve a fat and old noble woman now, I am afraid that he will have a hard time passing the level in his heart.
"Boss, do we really have to go back to Pompeii?" Max asked curiously, "Didn't you say that the rescue mission can't be done?" ”
"We can't do the rescue mission, and it shouldn't be too late to rush back now. However, the failure of the rescue mission may trigger the subsequent competitive mission, which is a mandatory mission with a heavy penalty for failure! Herrington said worriedly.
"Well, Helrington is right, I don't think the follow-up quest is likely to be triggered, but it will definitely be triggered! Judging from the content of the rescue mission, its follow-up mission should probably also be completed in Pompeii, and we can't help but go back! Xu Mo sighed, "However, before that, the two of you have to go to Vesuvius alone, which of the two of you wants to go?" ”
Max and Hrington glanced at each other, and finally decided that Härington would go to Vesuvius, and Max would stay behind and follow Xu Mo to Pompeii.
"Arres, Chisonis is awake!" Eumes came running from afar and cried out with joy......
"Arres, thank you!" Chisionis, who had already woken up, already knew from Omus's mouth that the person who saved him was Xu Mo, and couldn't help but say with a complicated face.
"Take care of your injuries!" Xu Mo waved his hand and said with a smile.
After resting for most of the day, the rebels began to pack their bags, leaving only about twenty seriously wounded and a few miscellaneous slaves in charge of guarding in the valley. The rest of the group will return to the outskirts of Pompeii, and then wait for the two female reincarnators in the city to help them contact Claudia and find a way to disguise themselves into the city.
……
"Samsara 228, the competitive mission (Rescue) has failed, you have triggered the follow-up competitive mission: revenge!"
"Competitive Mission: Revenge! The one hundred and forty-three slave gladiators in the original Bardax manor were persecuted by Lucius, the governor of Pompeii, and Bardax, the owner of the gladiator school, and all were crucified, triggering the hatred of the Bardax gladiator rebels.
Objectives: 1. Kill Bardacus, 2. Kill Lucius, and 3. Destroy Pompeii.
Task rewards: Depending on the completion of the task, after the task is completed, it will be distributed according to statistics.
Time Limit: Must be completed within the period of the Fusion of Spatial Laws. ”
"Hint: For the subsequent competitive mission (Revenge), you need to achieve at least mission objective one: kill Bardax. The difficulty scale is C- to A-. This competitive task has priority and must be completed by the reincarnator. Mission failure: The reincarnator will deduct 50 honor points, and the reincarnator with insufficient honor will not deduct the honor point, and directly reduce the basic attributes by 25%! ”
In the evening, when the rebel army was almost on the outskirts of Pompeii, a spatial reminder message came from Xu Mo's soul imprint. Xu Mo sighed lightly, it seemed that the more than a hundred gladiators had been killed.
