Chapter 87: Mouth Counts
The circular martial arts arena is in a valley, built against the mountain, one side is against the mountain wall, and three sides are leveled out to form a huge playground, which is used by the elves to train their troops in peacetime.
Today, for the sake of the competition, I didn't make much changes, but I drew a field under the cliff, and set up a platform at the other end for the king to watch the battle, and the warriors of both sides also gathered on both sides of the high platform to supervise each other, so as not to make any small actions to affect the competition. The audience was gathered on both sides, and there were no seats.
There are more than 21 million people in the Elven Kingdom, but more than 9 million people live in the capital, and the rest of the population lives in more than 20 cities scattered throughout the country, each with less than one million residents.
This rebellion of the demon system has seriously disrupted the previous economic model of the whole country around the capital and the stars holding the moon, which has affected the lives of the people in the capital to a greater or lesser extent, so the demon system is not popular here.
For thousands of years, there has been no large-scale war in the elf country, and this kind of competition only exists in history and legends. However, due to the limited venue, it can only accommodate 20,000 spectators, and the tickets will be given out in the form of a household lottery. So there are all kinds of people in the audience, and it's very noisy!
The elf country prohibits alcohol but does not prohibit gambling, and all major casinos have opened gambling plates, but one-sided betting on the Buddha system to win, on the one hand, the strength is clear, on the other hand, at the foot of the royal city, how many people dare to bet on the defeat of the Buddha system?
It's just that once the Buddha system fails miserably, I'm afraid that if the demon system doesn't do it, these gamblers who lose red eyes will be able to tear them all up!
Of course, there are also huge amounts of money from unknown sources to buy the demon system to win, which is probably intriguing, so it is conceivable that once the demon system wins, not only will the throne be in hand, but it is likely that even the funds for the restoration of the kingdom after the war will be raised! Those who have no experience in governing the country cannot think of such a bad move.
At half past eight, the trumpets sounded, the king arrived, and everyone stood quietly and sat down, and the cheers were thunderous!
Then the Buddhist warriors entered, and there was a burst of cheers, the Buddhist warriors sat in front of the left side of the king's seat, with monks as the majority, Loulan Feng had accompanied Gao Li to enter before, and when he saw the arrival of Zhan Lonely, Zhan Xu, etc., he got up and saluted, and the two of them returned the salute very respectfully.
He Lei and Gao Ming were also among them, and He Lei came over to hug him happily when he saw him: "I heard that you chased and killed the Shadow Tiger the night before, you are so bold, the capital is a sensation, and the casino outside yesterday at noon opened a bet on whether you can come back alive." ”
Lou Lanfeng smiled and asked, "What are the odds?" ”
He Lei laughed: "As far as I know, most of the gambling participants blame you for why you didn't die!" ”
Then it was time for the demon system to play, and there was a boo from the crowd.
After waiting for a long time, no one played, so the boos started again, and some people even began to shout and scold!
At this time, a man in a black robe slowly stepped onto the field, and after the crowd roared to the ground, it became silent.
The person on the field was none other than King Gao Li's own brother.
The man, in addition to his black robe, was wrapped in a black rider's cape, of medium stature, with a dark face and a tired and stern countenance. Unlike many people in the elven clan, he has a beard, obviously not trimmed for a long time, almost straight upright, with his constricted eyebrows, he is born with an angry appearance, known as the lion of the kingdom!
He was the previous regent and the leader of this rebellion! Because the meaning of his elven name is wisdom, you might as well call him Gao Rui.
When the demon system of the elf country was in power, it advocated black, and it was changed to white after the arrival of the Buddhist system, and after the rebellion, Gao Rui's department has all changed to black!
Gao Rui used to have a very high prestige in the kingdom, and the old king was regent by him for a long time after his old age, and he has always advocated a strong army to restore the former glory of the elven kingdom, and has close contacts with the demon system, and then he did an extremely unwise thing.
It stands to reason that he has been regent for many years, and if there is no accident, he will most likely take over the throne, and it will not be too late for him to use the demon system to restore his faith. But he was too confident and didn't take Tianning Temple in his eyes at all, but after the death of the old king, Xue Ting suddenly intervened in political affairs, not only set up a new Buddhist king, but also simply expelled the regent, Gao Rui killed the king in anger and rebelled!
Gao Rui walked directly to the middle of the field, and didn't speak at first, but suddenly he raised his hand and pointed at Gao Li and shouted and asked: "The competition is a rule set by our ancestors, and you can choose not to fight in the challenge I issued, since you are fighting now, if I win, will you admit the results of the battle?!" ”
His gesture was so unreasonable that in addition to the monks, the nobles and a group of samurai stood up and cursed him for being rude.
Gao Rui withdrew his fingers, but still shouted: "You tell me in front of more than 20,000 subjects, will you abide by the ancestral rules?!" ”
In front of his subjects, Gao Li had no choice but to say, "Of course this king will abide by the ancestral rules!" ”
Gao Rui continued to shout: "There is a saying in the ancestral rules, if anyone on both sides of the competition breaks the rules, it is equivalent to automatically admitting defeat, is there such a rule?" ”
Gao Li had a feeling that he was about to fall into a trap, but he could only answer: "Yes!" ”
Gao Rui raised his voice, but said to the people around him: "Then you collude with human beings to fornicate with foreign enemies, is it considered to break the ancestral rules?!" ”
Lou Lanfeng was shocked, and suddenly had a very bad premonition!
Gao Li's heart also sank, it seems that the other party has found some real evidence and wants to expose himself!
This Gao Rui entered the scene alone, and it seems that he is not here to set the world, but to settle the world!
Although the elven kingdom has had a lot of contacts with the human world since ancient times, it has always maintained a very independent survival strategy, and has even adopted a tense and hostile strategy towards humans to stabilize its tens of millions of citizens.
The so-called permanent death of the country is most appropriate for them, and one of their national policies is to regard the human world as a threat, even an object of hatred. Although it has been secretly compatible, it has also instigated confrontation, so that 20 million people have stayed in the elven kingdom with all their hearts, and the human world is an evil and dirty place for them, just like the human perception of the demon world.
To put it bluntly, there is no major entanglement of interests between the two worlds, but when you see each other as enemies, you can unite your own people.
Although Gao Li has lived in the human world for a long time, after he returned to China, he was quickly re-shaped as a saint warrior who was persecuted by the demon system and fled.
Not only is the Loulan Feng in front of him a human being, but there are more than a dozen of them living in his palace, if someone leaks the news and is caught, then there is no need to defend it!
Gao Li naturally denied it, and fought back: "You don't want to take advantage of my tragic experience of fleeing the human world with my family for more than 20 years to deliberately frame and smear me!" ”
