Chapter 8: Wang Jun's Ambitions

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the ground of the rudimentary training ground had become muddy.

The figures of Wang Jun and Maximus kept shuttling in the rain, and the sound of shields and short sword strikes kept coming from the field. Maybe it's because they're tired of watching them practice every day, or maybe it's because the rain affects their vision, and there are no guards or gladiators watching the two of them practice today; So these people don't know that they're missing out on a lot, a lot.

For the first time since he became a gladiator, Maximus showed all his strength, which was 30% higher than the level of gladiatorial fighting; Don't underestimate the increase in combat power of these 3 percent, now the combat power shown by Maximus can already fight against five strong Celestial gladiators like Hogg. If the tall and strong Hogg had run into the training ground to see it now, he would have been ashamed of his secret belief that he was only a little worse than Maximus; He didn't expect that Wang Jun, who had always thought that his comprehensive strength was actually inferior to his own, was still above Maximus in combat power, and it was more than a star and a half apart.

At the roar of Maximus, the royal army, which had already mastered its strength, began to attack; The attack is exactly the same as the standard hoplite technique taught by Maximus, with shield strikes combined with javelin thrusts.

Maximston's time was full of pressure and danger; He was no longer able to attack the tortoise-shell-like Wang Jun with ease, and even though the Wang Jun had only mastered the use of shields and javelins, the Wang Jun completely overwhelmed himself in terms of strength and speed. Maximus knew that Wang Jun was not using his full strength, but at the moment it seemed that he really did not have the ability to let him play his all; Overnight, the roles were reversed, and you must know that Wang Jun couldn't spend much effort on Maximus in the past.

When Maximus ran out of energy, he could only listen to the sparring. Wang Jun has a strong physique and continues to practice alone, while Maximus is in charge of guiding and constantly correcting some of Wang Jun's irregular movements.

Heavy rain obscured everything.

All those who knew about gladiatorial fighting in Zukaba only knew that under Pasimon there was a star-like gladiator, the Spaniard (the name of Maximus was known only to Wang Jun); He has a resolute face, neat short brown hair, charming chestnut eyes, and a sturdy but not bloated body. After having all this, the victorious, murderous, simple and direct attracted countless people who loved to watch gladiatorial fights, especially those rich noblewomen, who did not know how many noblewomen in Zukaba fantasized about the crazy love of Maximus in bed at night.

The Germanic Hogg with the title of Hercules, the king army with the title of spirit monkey, and other gladiators were all submerged under the halo of Maximus; No one knew that Wang Jun was the most powerful gladiator, no one knew that Wang Jun could knock Hercules away with a full shield blow, and no one would believe that Wang Jun could pierce Maximus in the chest with a single sword.

The next day, Pasimon marched to Rome with all his belongings, while gladiators such as the king's army and Maximus naturally squatted in rectangular wooden cages and set out on the road; It didn't take long for a gladiator to become a stinky pig. Although Wang Jun had basically adapted to the life of this slave, he was still somewhat indignant in his heart.

What is a gladiator, this should be placed in Wang Jun's original world, so he can be regarded as a sportsman, and it should be classified as extreme sports; There are solo events, group events, and mixed events, which are very exciting. If these programs can be implemented in the original world, football, basketball, badminton, table tennis, and tennis will all be weak! And the income and status of gladiators are definitely not bad, everyone knows that those football players who are very bad and have unhealthy ideas have outrageous incomes; A sports star like Maximus who is likable, has to have a good look, has a strong appearance, well, a gladiator star, the worst thing to do is to have a trolley to drive away!

The tragic year 182 A.D.! Tragedy of slavery!

Wood has airplanes, wood has sports cars, wood has ......

If the crowd of onlookers running through town along the way is a fan, then the gladiator can find some solace in it, provided that he ignores the beasts that are also watched and seem to be more popular.

Wang Jun didn't know what the next task would be, but Wang Jun, who had greatly improved his ability, definitely didn't want to continue to live like this without human rights forever; In case that plug-in keeps himself in such a world forever, is it possible that he has to live this kind of life all the time?

Wang Jun's mind began to liven, there are still many opportunities, how can he be willing if he doesn't try.

According to the plot of "Gladiator", he can already dominate the world, of course, this is just a heads-up situation; If it were against a few hundred Roman soldiers, the king's army would still die a terrible death; Then, it seems that it is a better way out to take refuge in a big power or establish your own power.

So the royal army began to plan to brainwash Maximus, you must know that Maximus still has legionnaires who are loyal to him, and Maximus has a strong appeal in the entire Roman Empire's army; In the context of Wang Jun's familiarity with the plot, perhaps it is not impossible to put Maximus in the position of emperor.

For Maximus, revenge is the first goal in life, and living is the second goal in life; Wang Jun has been with him for a long time, and knows Maximus well; If Maximus hadn't died after killing the enemy in the original play, Wang Jun was sure that he wouldn't commit suicide to accompany his dead wife and children, build a good cemetery, and visit it often, which was Maximus's choice.

"The night before I left Zukaba, I had a long dream." Wang Jun looked directly at Maximus and spoke in a low voice.

On a quiet night when he was about to arrive in Rome, Wang Jun found an opportunity to spend time alone with Maximus and carried out his plan.

Looking at his old subordinates, the hugely changed Wang Jun, Maximus listened carefully; Not to mention the experience of life and death between the two, not to mention Wang Jun's behavior of risking death to follow him, Wang Jun's current strength alone is enough for Maximus to pay attention to.

……

Wang Jun's theme is nothing more than a few key points, one is that he was dreamed of by the late old emperor Marcusto, and gave himself stronger abilities; second, in exchange, he accepted the mission of assisting Maximus to become Roman emperor; The third is responsible for killing Marcus's unnamed son Camerdos, and making him go to hell to repent of all the stupid things he has done.

Maximus was shocked!

In this day and age, the theory of ghosts and gods was too marketable, and Maximus himself was convinced of it; Wang Jun's sudden surge in strength seems to be understandable if it is explained by the theory of ghosts and gods.

For Maximus, he had long had the idea of asking why Wang Jun suddenly became powerful, but Wang Jun didn't take the initiative to say it before, and he didn't want to ask. Now there seems to be an answer, but it seems somewhat strange; It stands to reason that Marcus has a very close relationship with himself, so why don't he just give his dreams to himself?

Wang Jun, who has watched the "Gladiator" movie no less than 10 times, has brought his flickering ability to the extreme.

Although disappointed that Camerdos had killed him personally, the old emperor told Wang Jun that it was Maximus who did not want to end Camerdos, because he regarded Maximus as his own child and absolutely did not want children to kill each other.

The old emperor had already asked Maximus to succeed him in person, but Maximus could not agree on the spot, which was a great pity; Now, even if he is already in heaven, he still hopes that Maximus can sit in this seat, but the wish of an old man and a former Roman emperor has been fulfilled.

Although there are still many loopholes in what Wang Jun said, Maximus ignored them all; Because there are some things, if it weren't for the old emperor's dream, how could Wang Jun, as an ordinary soldier, know? Moreover, Wang Jun also described in detail all the dialogue processes and scenes when the old emperor wanted to hand over the empire to himself; This should only be known to the old emperor and himself!

All things added up, I can't help but Maximus doesn't believe it.

And Maximus's hatred of Camerdos has been raised to a higher level; knew that the death of the old emperor should be related to this animal, but it was actually this little animal who did it himself!

But...... The old emperor didn't want to kill Camerdos himself.

Maximus was expressionless and fell silent; Wang Jun knew that he needed time to digest all this, so he found a place to sleep.

Achieve others, and ultimately achieve yourself.

This is the most fundamental principle of Wang Jun's plan; As long as Maximus is achieved, the royal army will be able to make a splash in this world, whether it is staying in Rome and becoming a rich man with the support of the emperor, or holding military power to become a Roman general with great achievements, as long as the royal army is willing, it should not be a big problem. Of course, this had to be planned to be realized, and Maximus succeeded in ascending to the throne.

In the afternoon of the next day, the convoy slowly approached its destination, Rome.

The majestic city walls, classical and solemn buildings, deeply shocked the royal army, this is about to turn from the heyday to the decay of Rome, the old emperor Marcus pushed the Roman Empire to the extreme in history, and next, the empire will be ignited in the hands of his desolate son, until a thousand years later, the annihilation of the Eastern Roman Empire, the Roman Empire completely disappeared in the long river of history.

Wang Jun suddenly burst out with a strong impulse to complete the plan, obtain military power, and fight eastward until he sets foot on the land that is connected by his blood! If I am not mistaken, the current distant place should be in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

"I'd like to hear your detailed plans." Maximus, who had barely squeaked for a day, suddenly interrupted Wang Jun's conjecture.

The conversation between Wang Jun and Maximus last night was more about letting the other party get rid of the shadow of the death of his wife and children and re-establish his life goals.

How to kill the current emperor Camerdos with the hand of Wang Jun?

How to get rid of slavery?

And so on and so forth.

This was not easy for Maximus, but Wang Jun did not elaborate, and Maximus did not ask at that time.

So the two of them began to bite their ears in the cage, while the other gladiators were excitedly watching the city of Rome getting closer and closer, and no one cared what they were talking about.

Maximus must have made himself the favorite general of the old Emperor Marcus. Coupled with Wang Jun, who knows the plot very well, a plan to subvert the existing regime slowly emerges; Although the plan is not fleshed out enough, the basic outline has been finalized, and all that remains is to find opportunities to implement it after entering the city of Rome.

In Maximus's view, the plan is very risky and the chances of success are not high, but this is only possible under realistic conditions; However, Maximus was fearless, and since Marcus had dreamed of the royal army, he should not watch them fail in the kingdom of heaven.

In Wang Jun's view, the plan has a certain risk, but the probability of success is very high, because Wang Jun is familiar with the plot, and it is inconvenient to tell Maximus about these; Predicting the future is not something that the old emperor can fool with the excuse of dreaming, not to mention, such an excuse, it is enough to play once, and playing more will make it popular.
