Chapter 11: The Battlefield

Seeing Governor Lucius's thumb downward, Xu Mo's heart sank, and he stepped forward with a pale face, his eyes fixed on a person in the distance behind Governor Lucius. Before Artemis and Cabal began their wrestling battle, Xu Mo had a premonition of the scene in front of him from Bardax's unexpected move.

Before the gladiatorial battle between Artemis and Cabal began, Xu Mo knew that the news of the uprising was very likely to have been exposed, if this was the case, Artemis would 100% die in this gladiatorial fight, and Bardax's initial target was Artemis, the leader of the rebellious Spartan regiment.

In terms of the strength of Artemis and Cabal, if the two do not give in to each other, then this exhibition match is likely to end with Artemis dying, Cabal being seriously injured or even bleeding to death. In this case, one of these two people will definitely stand up and deliberately lose, and this person can only be Artemis, who is older and has a more calm and calm surname.

This was not only clear to Xu Mo, but also to the few gladiators present who knew Artemis and Kabal, and more importantly, Bardax also understood it, so this was a gladiatorial show that had already been doomed.

The trainer may not be able to understand the thoughts of the caged beast, but the trainer understands the surname and characteristics of the beast. Whether it was the two champion gladiators in the Bardax School, the chief instructor Neos, or the Spartan Regiment, Bardax knew very well who would be the most likely leader of the gladiators if they started a rebellion.

It is not the rough appearance of the Cabal who is actually delicate, nor the brave Lagerseus, nor the usual severe punishment of every gladiator, but the commander of the Spartan regiment, Artemis, who was originally a Spartan officer.

The snake has no head, and killed Artemis, the gladiators of the Bardax gladiator school are a plate of scattered sand, and the Spartan regiment with the strongest combat effectiveness and self-esteem in the team will never obey the orders of the gladiators of other races.

Dismantling the Spartan Regiment, and even provoking the Spartan Regiment to fight among other gladiators, and then co-opting some of them, Bardax believed that this would be enough to discourage the gladiators' fighting spirit, so that they could not unite and break out into rebellion, but this was something that Xu Mo absolutely could not tolerate.

Therefore, while the gladiatorial battle was still going on, Xu Mo immediately notified the six reincarnators on his side and began to prepare for the battle. The gladiators were all shackled and surrounded by a row of guards, and it was impossible to break through the guards and save Artemis by relying on the gladiators.

The reincarnation is weakened by the laws of space, and in terms of combat effectiveness, it may not be as good as the elite gladiators, but it is only to save Artemis and kill out of Bardax Manor, Xu Mo is 100% sure. When Xu Mo was fighting with Artemis and Cabal, he didn't do anything, he was observing the Roman nobles, so Lucius, who had been surrounded by the nobles and whispered to Bardax, came into his sight.

Of course, Xu Mo didn't know that Lucius was the governor of Pompeii, and even Dinah's investigation couldn't show Lucius's identity in his true heart. But this was enough for Xu Mo to judge that Lucius's status was very high, and he might be the highest-ranking person in this group of nobles, and if he caught him, even if he couldn't escape from Pompeii, it was enough for the gladiators and male reincarnators present to escape from Bardax Manor.

Originally, the two reincarnators who were not part of Xu Mo's small team did not agree with this approach, and when such a thing happened, their uprising mission was tantamount to failure. However, Max still persuaded them, because in this battle, the female reincarnation who pretended to be a servant would not do anything, and after they were killed, they could use them to revolt again.

However, Xu Mo knew in his heart that after a riot~ chaos, if he launched an uprising again, more gladiators might die, and the difficulty of the main quest would probably increase a lot. In comparison, Artemis carried more weight in his heart, and in this taciturn Spartan leader, Xu Mo saw his own shadow, and he intuitively felt that they belonged to the same kind of people.

Wanting to hold Lucius hostage, Xu Mo relied on two, one was the three Dinah who served food and wine to the nobles in the courtyard, and the other relied on his instantaneous skills. The instantaneous step skill has a stun effect, and when used on the characters in the story, it should be regarded as an attack skill, which is theoretically weakened by the laws of space, and the speed after the weakening is not enough to break through the interception of the guards and control Lucius.

However, what if the telepathic skill is not used against the characters? The three of Dinah couldn't get close to Lucius, and they couldn't plan to participate in the battle, but that didn't stop Dinah from standing far behind Lucius. Yes, Xu Mo's instantaneous step was not aimed at Lucius, but at Dinah, but between the two of them was just between Lucius.

Dina is a reincarnation, and the battle between the reincarnators of this world will not affect the effect of the skill, so Xu Mo is absolutely sure that he will control this nobleman who may be the highest status in the field before Lucius reacts.

"Slave, stand back!" Xu Mo's abnormal move of stepping forward immediately aroused the vigilance of the guards in front of him, and one of the guards raised his spear and aimed it at Xu Mo's chest. The eyes of the other gladiators naturally focused on Xu Mo's body, and the eyes of Omus and Chisonis, who were clenching their fists, lit up, took a deep breath, and at the same time took a step forward and moved closer to Xu Mo, as Spartans, they were not afraid of death, if they wanted to sit back and watch Artemis and Xu Mo be killed, they might as well die.

Seeing that three of his companions had already made their choice, Lagerseus smiled lightly, turned his head and stuck out his tongue to lick his lips, and looked at the guard in front of him with a sinister smile. The guard in front of him stepped back in horror, the Roman soldier had seen Lagerseus fight countless times in the arena, and when Lagerseus showed this look, it was a sign that he was going to kill.

At this time, except for the gladiators and the guards facing them, all the nobles in the field did not know that they were about to face a gladiator riot~, and even Neos and Kabal, who were in a bit of a trance, looked at the nobles blankly, hoping that the nobles would change the order of execution.

However, Artemis, who was kneeling on one knee, had already discovered Xu Mo's abnormal behavior, and immediately glared at Xu Mo with anger, he didn't know Xu Mo's ability, but he knew what the consequences of Xu Mo's actions would be.

Both he and Cabal had weapons in their hands, and if they both attacked the nobles in the field at the same time, they still had a chance to control one or two of the big nobles. But unlike the Samsarasms, they knew that even if they could escape, the other shackled, unarmed companions would die at the hands of the guards, and the hundreds of other gladiators in Bardax Manor would never have a chance to revolt.

Thinking of this, the expression on Artemis's face became resolute, and he raised his hand to grab the short sword that Cabal was pointing at his collarbone, and pulled it down sharply......

His expression was still a little dazed, and by the time he realized it, half of his sharp dagger had already entered Artemis's body. Cabal tugged at the dagger tightly, not letting it go any further, and Artemis felt the great force coming from the dagger and looked up at Cabal helplessly.

It was not only Cabal whose faces had changed drastically, but Xu Mo and the other gladiators had also changed their faces drastically, and their steps involuntarily paused. Xu Mo estimated the depth of the short sword, and his face turned ruthless, the short sword should not have pierced Artemis's heart, he was still saved.

Just as Xu Mo was about to make a desperate bet, his arms were grabbed by two people, one left and one right, who were the other two Spartans, Omes and Chisonis.

"It is the honor of the Spartans to die on the battlefield!" Tall Eumes spoke calmly in the Spartan Dorian language.

"This is not a battlefield!" Xu Mo's eyes flashed, and he also said lightly in pure Doria.

"Where the Spartans are, it's the battlefield!" Because of his terrifying appearance, Chisonis, who wore an iron mask, also spoke sonorously and forcefully in Doria.

"Don't let Artemis die in vain!" Ragseus next to him burst out a sentence from between his teeth, and looked at the Roman nobles in the field with fiery eyes.

Xu Mo sighed, gave up his actions, and looked at Artemis and Kabal on the stone platform with a calm face.

"Cabal, help me!" Artemis smiled, a large amount of blood pouring out of her open mouth, and said in a muffled voice.

When Cabal saw himself killing for the first time, his hands trembled, and finally, under Artemis's pleading gaze, he gritted his teeth and stabbed the short sword into Artemis's body and his heart.

Artemis' hand holding the dagger hung limply, his gaze began to drift, and he fell to the ground forward, the blood slowly spreading out under him, and Artemis died......

Glancing at the corpse of Artemis at his feet, Cabal pursed his lips tightly, forced a smile and raised his dagger to signal his victory to the aristocrats watching the excitement around him.

The nobles responded with enthusiastic applause for Cabal's execution, and the guards surrounding the gladiator breathed a sigh of relief, and two guards grabbed Artemis by the feet and dragged her body out of the courtyard like sacks.

As the gladiatorial show ended, the gladiators were also led out of the courtyard by the guards, and none of the Roman nobles who had resumed drinking and merry, and these gladiators who walked with their heads bowed were burned with blazing fire in their pupils.

Bardax succeeded in his goal, eliminating the leader of the gladiators, Artemis, and redividing the gladiators into small teams, but he also succeeded in igniting the flames of revenge in the hearts of the gladiators.

On this night, in the Bardax Manor, in addition to the successful conspiracy of Bardax was proud, there were also two other people hidden in the shadows who also sneered proudly, silently paying attention to the development of the situation......
