Chapter 50: Stepping into the Arena, Main Quest 2 Begins
"The second gladiator to appear is Olis, a sword and shield gladiator from the Vitius family."
"Roar~~"
I don't know if it's because of Olis's strength or because he comes from the largest gladiator training ground in Capua, after just stepping into the arena, this gladiator with his hands held high, his head held high, and he constantly showed his strength to the audience, and he was warmly welcomed like a tsunami.
Compared with Li Siwu, the treatment of the two is simply the difference between heaven and earth.
The cheers also didn't last long, and after the host spat out the first two words, the whole scene fell into an eerie temporary state of silence.
Everyone knew that the silence was really only temporary, and once the two ready gladiators fought each other, the earth-shattering screams would fall on each other, and when one side was completely defeated, the bloody scene would completely erupt into a scream that could shatter people's eardrums.
Although the iron helmet that almost covered the entire head could not see the other party's expression and eyes, Li Siwu and everyone could clearly judge the contempt for Li Siwu through the other party's body language.
This was not surprising at all, and the difference in size between the two sides alone was enough to make this contempt manifest on the other side's expressions.
Li Siwu's height and relatively thin figure are only about 178 centimeters, and they can't compare with the opponent standing two or three meters away from him.
In professional terms, the two are not a heavyweight opponent at all, if the other party is a heavyweight, then Li Siwu at this moment can only be regarded as a lightweight at most.
Regardless of the strength of the two sides, at least the huge difference in size has almost proven everything, and if nothing else, this weak chicken from the Batitas family will not last a few rounds at all, and will die under the opponent's sword.
There were only three people seated on the main stage of the arena, one was Vittius, the master of Capua's largest gladiator training ground, the second was Tullius, the largest and richest merchant in Capua, and the third was Sykes, the administrator of Capua.
And Quintus can only sit in the corner now and look up at the three people on the high platform with envy and hatred, he really didn't expect to be able to see the administrator here today, otherwise he would never have arranged Li Siwu into this gladiatorial fight.
If Li Siwu's defeat made the administrator despise the Batitas family, the impact on his next plan would be quite fatal.
It's a pity that now that the wood is in the boat, he can only forcibly swallow the bitter water, as for whether he can see a miracle in Li Siwu? He had no hope for it.
The difference in size between the two people is too big, and at this time he also knows that Vitius has done something in it, and the gladiator in front of him must not be an ordinary gladiator who has been agreed in advance, even if his strength is not too strong, at least he can be almost the same as the upper average gladiator of his family.
Li Siwu is just a new gladiator, and he is only a half-old child, how can he defeat such an opponent?
When Onomamus, who was in the gladiator's preparation room, saw Li Siwu's opponent through the crack in the fence, a deep anger also rose on his face: "Why is Ewinks' opponent Olis? Obviously, it was a duel between newcomers, why did the Vittius family send such a strong gladiator? It's insulting the arena, it's simply cheating! ”
Unfortunately, no matter how angry and dissatisfied he was, he was as powerless as his master, and could only watch a family gladiator with infinite possibilities fall.
On the high platform, Vitius and Tullius were all smiles and triumphs, and they talked to the administrator Sykes, and his tone was full of confidence.
"Administrator, this is the gladiator of the Batitas family, it seems that the business of the Batitas family has been declining more and more after being taken over by Quintus, and even such a waste can become a gladiator of his family, which is not only a loss of face for his Batitas family, but also for the entire Kapua."
Hearing Tullius's comments, Sykes also nodded with deep sympathy: "I didn't expect Quintus to let such a person set foot in the sacred arena, and I will express my thoughts to him after this time." ”
"Hahaha... The administrator was really discerning, and a man as ambitious as Quintus, but without the slightest strength, had no ability to run the gladiator training ground, and the gap was too great compared to his father. ”
"Well, I feel the same way!"
Quintus, who had always put his mind on the high platform, saw the two enemies pointing at Li Siwu, his face was full of ridicule and mockery, and at the same time the administrator also showed his approval, he knew that it was over.
In the incomparably disappointed, he instantly poured all his anger on Li Siwu's head, regretting that he shouldn't have left this waste in the first place, let alone being blinded by what this waste showed, and brought him to the arena on a whim.
Even if this kid didn't die here in the end, he would immediately sell him to the mining area to do a lifetime of absenteeism until he died.
And a real gladiatorial battle in Li Siwu's life officially started under everyone's various ideas.
There is no fairness, no mercy and no sympathy in the arena, only blood and death!
The opponent did not have the slightest idea of giving in because of Li Siwu's "little chicken" general size, and rushed towards Li Siwu with the thighs that were the thickness of an ordinary adult man's waist.
At this moment, Li Siwu really realized that the enemies in the arena and the training ground were really completely different, the opponent's sturdy figure, real knife and real gun, strong killing intent, and the momentum that made any ordinary person unable to breathe was really strong, very strong!
Afraid?
Now Li Siwu has all kinds of emotions in his heart, but the only thing he doesn't have is fear!
Standing in a small arena of only five meters in length and width, facing the first attack from the enemy, his dark eyes hidden behind his helmet gleamed with a little essence, and he had already seen all the actions of his opponent clearly.
With barely any clothing to cover it, the opponent's muscles and body movements were completely displayed in his eyes, and his mind was racing rapidly, frantically providing him with all the information about his opponent every thousandth of a second.
At this time, he didn't even need to waste too much brain cells to penetrate all the opponent's movements, compared to strong people like Bakar and Arcadis, even if the enemy in front of him could not reach the level of vulnerability, he could not think of bringing him Li Siwu an unmanageable danger.
Easily moved half a step to the left, dodging the attack along the edge of the opponent's blade, and at the same time, the iron sword in his hand slashed his head and face towards the opponent's door.
"Bang~~Bang~~Bang~~~"
A series of metal resonances made this gladiatorial fight full of excitement enter a state of stalemate and fierceness for the first time, and suddenly all the spectators present began to be excited, boiling, and began to roar hoarsely.
In this tsunami-like shout, the two gladiators who were fighting for life and death also entered the state in an instant, and the only thing left in their hearts was how to send their weapons into each other's bodies, how to make the blood in each other's bodies fly, and how to cut off each other's dog heads.
