Chapter 21: Tomorrow's Decisive Battle.
In the barracks of the auxiliary soldiers, Green vented his anger like a raging lion, James and others wanted to stop this barbaric guy but were knocked over to the ground, wailing in pain one by one, although it was not to death, but it was obviously not lightly injured, and I don't know what this Green was stimulated today. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Hughes, you bastard, I know you're here, get out of here." Green growled.
"You mad dog, you are starting to bite again, it seems that your injuries have healed, and now you are arrogant again." A calm voice rang out, and Theseus strode in the direction of the training ground.
James and the other auxiliary warriors who were beaten down suddenly seemed to have seen a savior, and hurriedly retreated in the direction of Xiuth.
"Boss Hughes, this Green will fight us as soon as he comes here, we are not his opponents, we can't stop him." James clutched his arms and said in pain.
"I know, I'll deal with this, there is a deep hatred between me and this Green." Hughes said.
Green saw the hatred on Hughes's face even stronger: "Hughes, you are finally here, I came this time to wash away the shame of last time, by the way, tomorrow, I will fight you in the gladiatorial arena tomorrow, I will personally beat you to death in front of everyone in the Stampa tribe, do you hear?" ”
The Colosseum?
The other people nearby suddenly had shocked looks on their faces.
This is not a joke, going to the gladiatorial arena means that two people can only live one, otherwise the duel will never stop, usually those powerful people of the Burning Sun clan will buy slaves and put them in the gladiatorial arena to compete, and few warriors from the Stampa tribe will enter the gladiatorial arena to fight.
"Go to the Colosseum!"
Theseus was not afraid, but showed a smile: "I also have this idea, I also want to beat you to death in front of the Stampa people, Green, I want to avenge Bell." ”
"Then tomorrow I'll be waiting for you in the gladiatorial arena, you can definitely come, if you don't come, I'll kill those bastards in the foundling field." Green had a cruel look on his face.
"You're not going to have this chance." Hughes said.
Green snorted heavily, his eyes full of vengeful anger, and when he saw that Hughes had agreed to his duel, he didn't stay, and quickly turned to leave.
As soon as Green left, Diana hurriedly walked over and said, "Theseus, do you really want to promise that Green to compete in the gladiatorial arena?" It's too dangerous, only one of the two of you will survive in the Colosseum, and one of you will have to die on it. ”
"Of course I know, and this matter was not brought up by Green first, I brought it up first, and I must kill this villain." Xiusi said firmly: "Little Nana, don't shake the determination of a strong man, tomorrow if you have time, you can take the gladiatorial arena to cheer for me." ”
"Don't worry, I will." Diana nodded, but then said with some embarrassment: "Don't call me Little Nana, my name is Diana." ”
"Okay, little Nana."
Theseus nodded, then turned around and said: "James, although you are injured, you can rest assured, I will kill this Green in the gladiatorial arena, there will be no next situation today, but as compensation, you can beat me to win on the day of the duel, believe me, I will bring you a rich copper coin." ”
"Of course, Boss Xius, we will definitely press you to win, and by the way, I also want to watch Boss Xius kill that bastard with his own hands."
"That's right, Boss Hughes, kill that Green." The voices of righteous indignation in the crowd rose one after another.
Obviously, many people suffered a big loss at the hands of Green just now, after all, Green is a quasi-warrior, and he still has strength, and it is normal for these auxiliary fighters to be against his opponents.
I don't know if it's because of the propaganda of the heart, the news that Green and Hughes are going to go to the gladiatorial arena quickly spread among the Stampa tribe, and it is still rumored, after all, the duel between a most talented quasi-warrior and an inconspicuous auxiliary warrior is easy to attract people's attention.
Especially since the combined age of the two is only twenty-two years old.
A lot of people want to see what the fight between these two little guys will be like.
However, when the news went viral, Xius walked towards the place where the quartermaster was, as if he was nothing, but when he passed by the gate of the barracks, Ronnie looked at him with a sneer.
"Don't think it's great to defeat Ivan, he's just a support warrior and Green is a very talented quasi-warrior, their strength is not a grade, tomorrow you will die." Ronnie looked at the dead man and looked at Hugh Dao.
"I'm not going to die, it's just him who will die, you're thinking too much, Ronnie." Hughes said.
Ronnie said: "You just continue to lie to yourself, if you have Green beat you to death, it will save me a lot of trouble, don't worry, I will go to watch the battle tomorrow and see how you nasty little guy died." ”
"Then you'll be able to keep your eyes open tomorrow."
Xius and this Ronnie have always been not speculative for more than half a sentence, Ronnie is disgusted with himself and has no way to take himself, after all, Ivan has failed, and he has the evidence in his hands that he is playing with female auxiliary warriors, he is afraid that he will sue, and he does not dare to do things too much, and Ronnie is a manager, and Xius naturally can't do anything to him, so both sides have been out of sight for this time.
Theseus left the barracks and came to where the quartermaster was.
"Is Clive there?"
"It turned out to be Theseus, the news of you and Green going to the gladiatorial arena has reached me, say, what are you doing with me?" Quartermaster Clive looked at Hughes and said with a smirk.
The person who can be challenged by that Green like this, Xius's strength will naturally not be weak, and he is also a little looking forward to tomorrow's acne.
"I want to take a day off tomorrow," said Hughes. ”
"You should tell Ronnie that he's the one in charge of this." Clive said.
"I have one more request, and I hope you will grant it, Clive." Hughes said.
Clive said: "If you have something to say, you should be straightforward, and the warrior should be simple and direct. ”
"I want Clive to lend me some gold, and I'm going to crush myself to win tomorrow's duel, and I'll give it to you when I win." Hughes said earnestly.
He needed to use Green's battle to bring some fortune to himself and continue to improve the life of the abandoned baby farm, and he could only think of asking one person to borrow money, and that was this quartermaster Clive, and he thought of a reason to convince him.
"Borrow money?" Clive suddenly smiled: "How can I be sure that you, this little guy, will be able to defeat Green, if you lose, then I will lose a lot of money?" ”
"You won't lose, because I have a way for you to transfer another sum of money, even if I die." Hughes said.
Clive said, "Tell me, if you can convince me. ”
"The cold winter is coming, the price of grain purchased by the barracks will rise, if you can stock up on a batch of grain at this time, and then purchase this batch of grain at an increased price after the price rises, I think it will make a lot of money." Hughes said.
Clive's face changed suddenly, and he shouted sternly: "Reselling food in the army is a big crime, you want to kill me, get out, I didn't hear what I said just now, if there is a next time, I will punish you severely." ”
Hughes didn't leave, he saw a heartbeat in Clive's eyes, after all, who would have trouble with the gold coins.
"I don't mean to resell the food in the army, but to purchase and store it in advance, even if someone checks it out, you can say that it is to reserve food for the winter, if no one checks it up, you write it into the account book at the price of winter grain, no one will doubt you, you just did a correct thing at a real time, the grain is still those grains, but the price has changed a little."
"And the food of a military camp, even if it changes a little, is a lot of gold coins, and this method can be used not only this year, but also every year in the future, as long as you are still the quartermaster here." Xius said slowly.
Clive was not angry at the moment, but after listening to Hughes's words, he had an indescribable heartbeat.
Yes, he is a quartermaster, and no one will find out about it, and he will not be able to find out, and if everything goes well, he will get a sum of money every year.
"Who taught you this?" Clive said in a low voice.
When Xius heard his tone, he knew that he was probably moved: "No one taught me, I came up with it myself, I don't dare to deceive the chief." ”
Clive pondered again for a moment, as if he was thinking about whether he should do this thing or not, he was diligent in this position, and did not dare to slack off, but the gold coins he got were pitiful, and his usual life was a little poor, if according to Hughes, he would have a chance to make a fortune in the cold winter of this year, because this time was the gathering of grain purchases, and grain would be very cheap.
Once the cold winter comes, the food will rise, and he is a quartermaster who knows this very well.
"Sir, the position of quartermaster will not be long in coming, and you may have to plan for it after you leave the army." Hughes said.
His words seemed to make Clive make up his mind, and he gritted his teeth and whispered at this moment; "Little one, your words touched me, I will not lend you money, but give you ten gold coins, you will bury everything you said today forever, don't let anyone know, otherwise I will not let you go."
"I didn't say anything today, I've forgotten everything." Hughes said.
"Good, you're a smart little guy." Clive counted out ten shiny gold coins from his bosom and handed them to Hughes.
Hughes took it and turned away without saying a word, there was no need to say anything at this time, but the less he said, the less he said, he didn't want to offend this Clive yet.
"Sure enough, these officials are really rich, and they will sell ten gold coins."
After walking out, Xius couldn't help but sigh secretly.
The Stampa tribe is not rich, it is also for ordinary people, as a quartermaster of the army, he may also be a Sun clan, and the usual expenses are calculated in silver coins, gold coins, ten gold coins is not a huge wealth for him, but for Xius it is.
However, today's move is a bit risky, and if Clive is not impressed at all, he may get himself in some trouble.
But seeing the darkness of the army, he didn't think that Quartermaster Clive would be unimpressed.
