Chapter 9: Life and Death Struggle
"Hmm!" heard Tatu speak, and the Governor groaned.
He glanced at Tatu and asked, "Are there any foreign slaves in your ranks? Is it the yellow-skinned foreigner? I have seen him when he came, and I still have some impressions. ”
After receiving Tatu's affirmative answer, the Governor added: "I remember that according to the order of rotation, among the ten teams that need to assign slaves to fight this month, there is no team under your supervision. ”
Tatu Positive Color Channel:
"Yes, but if the alien slave had not been in good health, and had he been able to complete his daily assignment on time, he would have reported to the Governor and put him to death. This time, it happened that the priests needed sacrifices, and their subordinates thought that this foreign slave was the best choice. ”
Tatu's words were really a forcible crime, Fang Di hated it in his heart, but he didn't argue meaninglessly, and stood silently in place in the face of the various eyes cast by the slaves around him.
The Governor nodded in response, "In this case, let this foreign slave be the last to appear and fight to the death with another slave, Akkad." ”
As soon as the name of Akkadian came out, both the slaves and the soldiers of the guards gave a slight agitation, which showed that this Akkadian was an extraordinary person.
The Governor spoke, and the matter was settled, and it could not be changed.
This is the sorrow of being a slave, life and death, all in the words of the superior.
What followed happened very quickly, showing the efficiency of the Egyptians.
The governor immediately had a number of soldiers in charge of assigning the slaves who were going to take part in the battle in the slave army under his command.
All kinds of selected slaves, either struggling and unwilling, or frightened and frightened, have different feelings, but they are irresistibly selected from their own ranks and become candidates for the imminent life-and-death struggle.
Of course, the chosen slaves were not all timid.
On the contrary, a small number of death row inmates, who were notorious among slaves, were expecting such a fight as their last chance to change their fate.
In the past, there was a precedent that in life-and-death struggles, individual slaves who were outstanding and showed strong combat effectiveness would be adopted as domestic slaves by some big people, such as the old man who was sitting under the pyramid at this time and watching the battle on a temporary stone platform, and his status was similar to that of the family general, so as to successfully get rid of the slave status.
This is the only chance for all death row inmates to reverse their fate.
Therefore, several of the slaves who came out to participate in the fight at this time were death row prisoners who came out of the initiative to come out. Although they are different in height and appearance, they have fierce faces and strong killing intent, and they have already made up their minds to die if they don't live, and their momentum is very terrifying.
The life-and-death killing war began suddenly.
The slaves, who had not been selected to participate in the fight, stood silently and silently at the central clearing left under the pyramid.
That's where the fight takes place.
The ten slaves who were selected were four for the first time, divided into two pairs, and engaged in a fierce battle.
This kind of killing involves life and death, and there is no limit, only victory and defeat. Because the sacrifice to the priest did not require him to live, it was particularly cruel and terrifying.
"Ah······h
As soon as the battle began, it entered the white-hot stage, and a scream sounded, full of nostalgia for life and resentment of the injustice of fate. It was a slave who had been knocked down in the middle of the photo, with a large piece of flesh on his neck, and was pounced on by his opponent, biting and tearing it off, blood shooting out, and letting out a dying scream.
The priests and old men who watched the battle on the high platform were not moved, and sat and watched silently.
Only the glamorous girl beside the old man frowned lightly, as if she was surprised by the fierceness of the battle.
The soldiers guarding the layers of the stage are even more accustomed to this kind of life-and-death struggle, and they have long been accustomed to it, and some soldiers are still whispering to the people around them, guessing who wins and who loses, and has fun with it.
This scene clearly shows the inferiority of human beings to hunt their own kind, and also makes Fang Di more aware of the cruel nature of the struggle between people.
He stood in the ranks of the chosen slaves, his face calm, like an indifferent bystander to the life-and-death fight that was about to happen to him.
Before arriving in ancient Egypt, Fang Di loved rock climbing, and in the process of climbing to the top of the dangerous peak, how many times experienced the moment of life and death. Therefore, a brave man is really rare in the world, and although the slaves are fighting fiercely, it is far from enough to make him feel afraid.
But the skills of the few slaves who fought in the field showed great skill surprised Fang Di.
It is necessary to know that this era is still in the initial stage of civilized society, the land is vast and abundant, and although human beings are intelligent species, they have not yet escaped the situation of fighting against countless beasts and natural disasters.
Therefore, the human beings of this era are wild and untamed, everyone has rich experience in hunting, and almost all of them have the experience of fighting with fierce beasts, so everyone's reaction, speed, and strength really opened the eyes of Fang Di, a modern visitor, and his heart was shocked.
"Click!" came the sound of broken bones.
The other slave had his arm broken and lost the ability to continue the fight, and he fell to the ground.
The four slaves who fought in the first round ended with two wins and two losses.
The two who lost were seriously injured and wanted to die, and the two who won were also exhausted, but there was irrepressible joy in their eyes, after all, they had gained the right to continue to live.
The scorching sun in the afternoon scorched the earth, causing the blood flowing on the battlefield to quickly solidify into dark red traces.
As soon as the battle was over, some soldiers stepped forward, lifted the two losers on the ground, and brought them to the priest's feet on the stone platform.
The two priests on the stage, at this time, were hidden in a black mist that was visible to ordinary people, their images were mysterious, and their figures loomed in the black mist, like fierce demons coming out of the underworld, sitting silently on the platform.
"Ahh
When the defeated slaves were lifted up to the platform, the black mist surrounding the two priests, like a black wind, rushed towards the two slaves, covering them in the black mist.
The screams came out of the mouths of the two slaves at the moment when the black mist possessed them, full of sorrow and despair. It was as if there was a man-eating demon in the black mist, tearing at their flesh and blood.
Soon, the screams were low until they were no longer heard.
The two black mist of demonic rhythm also began to subside, and finally there was nothing left, but it was swallowed by the two priests, and they reappeared on the stone platform, revealing their figures that were originally hidden in the black mist.
Previously, because of the power exerted, after chanting the incantation, the two priests who had been consumed so much that their flesh and blood withered like mummies, their skin and flesh were rapidly plump, and in a few breaths, they almost returned to the appearance of ordinary people when they first met.
The two slaves who were carried to the stage were nowhere to be seen after the black fog disappeared.
A chill grew in Fang Di's heart, there was such an evil art in the world.
The yin and evil black mist emitted by the priest obviously absorbed the flesh and life force of the two slaves to replenish the consumption of his own body.
"Bang!
When Fang Di was thinking, there was a sudden strange sound beside him, not far away two other slaves who were about to fight, seeing the tragic situation of the slave's bones on the stage, his eyes showed extreme fear, and his teeth collided up and down, making a 'boom' sound.
Fang Di sighed secretly, these two slaves had been terrified over reason, and they were afraid that they would make crazy moves and kill themselves.
Sure enough, before Fang Di's thoughts were finished, the two slaves howled in unison, and under extreme fright, they couldn't help running forward, wanting to escape away.
"Buzz, buzz!"
Two swift bowstrings vibrated with sound. Tatu and the other soldier beside him, with sneers on their faces, shot the two fleeing slaves with their bows like lightning.
"Whew!" a black light was like a storm.
The two priests on the stage opened their mouths this time to spew out a stream of black mist, turning into a violent wind and rolling towards the corpse of the slave who had fallen to the ground after being shot. In an instant, the slave's body disappeared again.
When the wind was swallowed back into the priest's mouth, their countenances became more and more refreshed.
"Two innocent fools!" said a slave in the same chosen group of slaves, with a contemptuous and disdainful whisper.
This slave was two feet away from Fang Di, tall and fierce, six feet tall, with a rough and dark complexion, muscles around his body, and blood vessels coiled around his body like small snakes.
He stood there, and even the sand and gravel ground under his feet sank slightly, showing the strength and heaviness of his body, like a mountain that would never be knocked down.
Another thing that distinguishes this slave is that he has a heavy set of shackles at his ankles than the others, imprisoning him like a beast and imprisoning him for his freedom.
This person was none other than Akkad, who had been named by the Governor and would later fight against Fang Di.
He was recognized as the number one murderer among the tens of thousands of slaves on the entire construction site.
Before his arrest, Akkadian had been a giant thief who roamed the desert, killing people and committing countless evil deeds. After he was arrested, even many soldiers who guarded him were intimidated by his murderous name, and no one dared to beat and scold him, which shows his amazing power.
Xi'an, who was kicked by Fang Di yesterday, is like the difference between fireflies and bright moons compared to Akkadian.
Akad looked at the other party's gaze, and immediately sensed, his fierce eyes flashed slightly, and he turned his head to look at him. The gazes of the two collided like a stream of electricity, and there seemed to be an invisible lock in the void, locking their eyes tightly together.
Akkad's bald head turned his back to the sun, making his eyes under the murderous thick eyebrows hidden in the dark shadows under the brow bones, and his expression was particularly cold and ruthless.
He raised his hand and made a throat-slitting gesture towards Fang Di, then turned his head and looked at the second round of fighting that had started in the field, and didn't look at Fang Di again to show his contempt for him.
After tea time, the second round of fighting ended.
Counting the two slaves who escaped, the ten slaves who were chosen to fight to the death, only Xia Di and Arcade were left unplayed.
Tatu, who was standing at the forefront of the ranks of soldiers under the stone platform, sneered and stepped forward and shouted: "The last slave fight, by Fang Di against Akkadian, will start immediately. ”
