Chapter Twenty-Four: The Duke Who Rescued the Scene
Groups of bloody soldiers rushed into the gladiatorial arena with spears, and the stands were also full of soldiers armed with longbows and crossbows, and they surrounded Zhang Huenli on the third and outer three floors.
"Well, slave, beg for mercy now, and I can leave you a whole corpse, or else I will not only kill you, but also skin you and hang them in my cellar as trophies."
The audience was silent, except for the voice of Count Ruth, only the sound of heavy breathing remained, Zhang Huen carried the war hammer on his shoulder, laughed, he ignored the soldiers and bows and arrows around him, and raised his head to Count Ruth and said:
"You are the most despicable, the most inferior beast, the most shameless and filthy of the people of the West Sea I have ever met, and I feel sorry for your people, and it takes a lot of courage and a strong will to persevere in begging for a living under such an untrustworthy and ruthless lord like you. Ruth, you're just a stupid pig in the guise of a nobleman, and you're going to kill me, even if you give the order, there's no need to make any pretense ......"
"Kill him for me! Bring me his head! ”
"Kill!"
The soldiers with spears rushed over together, and Zhang Huen, who was still fighting, smashed the spear in front of him and rushed into the pile of soldiers, and a whirlwind of death began to blow in the blood army, but the blood army was not an ordinary gladiator, they were ruthless warriors who had been trained by Ruth, and soon, under their receiving, regardless of casualties, Zhang Huen's body had a few more gunshot wounds.
"Die!"
Zhang Huen smashed back a circle of soldiers, reached out and felt the flying claws on his chest, Ruth's face turned pale all of a sudden, watching Zhang Huen take out the flying claws, and immediately gave the order to release the arrows, and the bow and arrows shot towards Zhang Huen and the soldiers besieging him without distinguishing between enemy and enemy. After a bow and arrow, the corners of the arena were littered with the corpses of soldiers.
"Wow!"
Zhang Huen pushed away the corpse that was pressed on his body, stood up with two feather arrows stuck in his back, and shot the flying claws in his hand towards the stands, grabbing the railing in front of Ruth at once.
"Guards! Bodyguard! ”
Ruth screamed and drew his sword and slashed at the Flying Claw, his sword was of miswired steel. In three strokes, the rake teeth of the flying claw were cut off, and Zhang Huen, who had just risen into the air, fell back into the gladiatorial arena again, and the spear soldiers who surrounded him raised their guns and waited for him to come to the door.
"Get out of here!"
The war hammer fell on the soldier's body, and as soon as Zhang Huen, who threw away the war hammer, he landed like a leopard shuttling among the soldiers, the sharp claws of both hands swept through their abdomen, Zhang Huen grabbed a hand of intestines and threw it on the ground, and the soldiers besieging him looked at the miserable situation of his companions, and hurriedly formed a dense formation to surround him, not daring to approach lightly.
"Shoot the arrows. Shoot him for me! ”
The frightened Ruth brandished his long sword and gave orders to the soldiers, and the dense arrows in the sky flew towards Zhang Huen, Zhang Huen relied on his speed to drill into the middle of the soldiers, and the soldiers were constantly pinched in his hands as a shield, and the arrows were inserted into hedgehogs.
"Stand back, stand back! Keep your distance! ”
The soldiers have been frightened by Zhang Huen and his own people, they are not afraid of death, but they are just afraid of death. Now there is Zhang Huen, the killing god in front of him, and there are his own people behind him who smoke cold arrows. In this kind of situation, who wants to come and who wants to come.
"Press it on me, what are you doing?"
Ruth watched his soldiers retreat, some of them even to the base of the high walls of the arena, and his sword cut through the railings of the stands to no avail.
When the three rounds of dense arrow rain passed, there were no soldiers standing beside Zhang Huen. The corpses on the ground were full of arrows, Zhang Huen put down the two corpses in his hand, and there were also seven or eight feather arrows on his back and shoulders, and he escaped a battlefield hedgehog alive. Zhang Huen looked up and laughed, and shouted to Ruth:
"I'm alive, Ruth, I'm alive!"
"Live!"
I don't know which ignorant citizen shouted first, the other citizens stretched out their right hands and raised their thumbs, more and more "live" slogans appeared in the gladiatorial arena, the archers looked back at the citizens who shouted alive with their thumbs out, a little overwhelmed, they had never encountered such an incident of collective disobedience to the Earl's orders, they looked at their commander, only to find that their commander was also looking at the stand where Count Ruth was, waiting for Ruth's final verdict.
(A gang of spoilers, rioters, mobs!) Die! )
Ruth was about to stretch out his right hand to give Zhang Huen a death sentence, but who knew that a strong arm suddenly stretched out from his side and gave him a thumbs up.
"Yay! Live! ”
The citizens jumped up for joy at once, and the archers let out a long sigh of relief, and put down their longbows, and Russ looked angrily at the comer, but immediately changed his countenance, and fell on one knee respectfully, bowed his head, and said:
"I didn't know that Lord Duke was coming, and Ruth was terrified."
Mild, who had a mustache, smiled and helped him up, patted his hand and said:
"Don't call me for such a big scene, Ruth, you're really not interesting."
"My lord, Ruby Bay is nothing more than a handful of dirt on the side of your boots compared to your arena."
"Haha, Ruth, you're getting better at talking, that slave, how about leaving it to me?"
Mild looked at Zhang Huen standing in the gladiatorial arena, his face couldn't stop admiring, yesterday he met with Yan Tu who returned from the East China Sea, and was very satisfied with the Jin Su presented by Yan Tu, Yan Tu mentioned a gladiator named Mensius when talking to him, saying that he was simply the god of war descending to earth, and he could only have this son in the sky, how many times can he know it in the world. However, this ill-lucked gladiator offended Count Ruth, and it is estimated that he will die in the gladiatorial arena in the next two days.
Mild, who had thought he was exaggerating, received a report from the spies that night, and Mild was intrigued to hear that Mencius had killed the giants of the north, so he quietly rushed to Ruby Bay overnight with his retinue, and bought the guards to infiltrate the gladiatorial arena this morning.
When he saw that Zhang Huen effortlessly eliminated the two former gods of war, he was determined to win him, and then his appearance scared him even more, such a gladiator, if he was put in the black city to destroy the barbarians and beasts, it would simply be a battlefield killer, a vanguard soldier who overcame difficulties.
"My lord, he tried to kill me!"
Ruth is not willing to let Zhang Huen go like this, the grievances between the two of them are not just as simple as touching Lupita's ass, but also include the conspiracies of killing children, challenging authority, inducing riots, and attempting to assassinate in the entanglement, looking at Mild's smile, Ruth has an ominous feeling, Mild is nicknamed "Smiling Jackal", as long as he smiles at you, it means that the conspiracy is almost successful.
"I will put him in the Black City and shake the northern frontier for us, do you think you are satisfied with such a punishment?"
To be a gray robe, to stay forever in that ghost place where chickens don't lay eggs and birds don't, and live with cold and death for a lifetime, this is the most severe and cruel punishment in addition to the death penalty, in a sense, being a gray robe is not as happy as dying. Ruth nodded resignedly, and Mild immediately asked his entourage to go through the formalities.
"Ruth, your Ruby Bay is getting more and more developed, but the pattern seems to be stingy, it's better to ask Your Majesty Xià to allow you to expand Ruby Bay and expand your blood army to 20,000 people, how about it?"
Slap a candy, Mild is a connoisseur at playing this hand, Ruce looked unhappy and surprised, and said:
"My lord, I hope you will grant me one more request."
"You say."
"This is my youngest son, Wenders."
Wenders, who was standing on the side, heard Ruth mention him, and hurriedly walked over and knelt down on one knee to salute Mild, and Wenders, who thought there was something good, knelt on the ground, only to hear Ruth say:
"I hope that the Lord will allow him to join the gray robe and go to Heicheng to make his own contribution to the Northern Frontier Raiders!"
"Father!"
Wenders was completely stupid, he stood up and looked at his father, I don't know why he made such a decision, gray robe, the people there are either prisoners or cornered gangsters, and a few officials are also defeated officers who have seen through the world and have no ambitions, and go there by themselves, isn't this a brain pump?
Mild also thought it was very incredible, Ruth had always been very spoiled by his sons, how could he be willing to let such a young man with such a clear eyebrow be a gray robe? If you want to say that the nobles have become gray robes, there are no longer a few, but they are either guilty or have no love, and there are some who go there voluntarily and are also victims of political struggles. The young man in front of him is not touched like that, you must know that once you become a gray robe, your previous identity, status, and merits will all be written off, and whether you can gain a firm foothold in the black city depends on your own sword by sword.
"Ruth, do you have to think about it carefully, a gray robe for a day, a gray robe for life, you can't take it off?"
"I fully understand that Wenders is already an adult and that he should be held accountable for the mistakes he has made."
"Fault, what fault did I make?"
Wenders screamed and asked, he was about to be sent to the cold black city, he had long been unable to care about the understanding of the father and son, Ruth looked at his yellow skin, and said in disgust:
"It's all because of you that you will lead the death of three hundred and sixty-six innocent people, and the conflict between that madman gladiator and me, if it weren't for you, how could the soldiers of the Blood Army under my command have such big casualties? Wenders, you are young, impetuous, impulsive, and overjoyed, and I hope that your trip to the Black City this time can sharpen your will and make you grow into a real man! ”
Ruth's hand that reached out to caress his head was knocked off by Wenders, and he looked at Ruth in despair, stepped back, and then laughed:
"Count Ruth, I kind of understand, people like you are not worthy of a son, I curse you, and your descendants will not die well!"
After saying this, Wenders ran away, and Ruce shook his head and looked at Mild, who reluctantly said to his entourage:
"Go ahead, please get Master Wenders in the car, don't slack off!" (To be continued......)
