"Bang bang bang!!" The slightly messy sound of horses' hooves came, and Lin Meng felt that the stone platform under his feet was shaking slightly, and he saw a team of heavily armed black cavalry appearing at the intersection in the distance. The pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info was a burly and powerful knight covered in black armor. The knight's whole body was covered by cold armor, revealing two eyes with murderous intent, carrying a knight's steel spear more than six feet long, the tip of the spear pointed obliquely at the ground, and behind him were two tall knights who were also burly on the left and right, similar in costume, looking majestic and murderous.

With the three of them as arrows, behind the three of them was a cavalry column of about 1,000 horsemen, all of whom were covered in black armor and wrapped in cold iron armor, silently riding on their horses, silently advancing with the procession. Behind the cavalry team was a long queue of infantry, Lin Meng looked at the infantry team that could not be seen at a glance, and it was initially estimated that there were at least about 10,000 people. The procession was divided into three parts, with soldiers with round shields and swords at the front, spearmen with spears in the middle, and archers with longbows at the end. At the end of the square, there were more than a dozen carriages pulling bed crossbows, and the eyelids of everyone watching jumped.

The First Army of the Oak Mountain Group Army silently walked towards the victory platform, although there were no gorgeous costumes and no uniform steps. But everyone looked at the silent team in front of them, but it was like a black steel torrent rolling towards everyone, a great pressure pressed everyone out of breath, the only thing they could do was to hold their breath and silently look at the steel wall in front of them. Especially the Marquis of Niss, who was a person, his face became surprisingly ugly.

As long as you have been mixed in the political arena of the principality, you know that the Oak Hill Army is the ace army of North Carur Province, and even if it is placed in the entire principality, it is also the top three armies in combat power. The Oak Hill Fortress stationed in the north of the Red Fort defends the northern defense line of the Red Fort, and the First Army of the Oak Mountain Group Army is the sharp knife team of the Oak Mountain Group Army, and since the establishment of the First Army, it has made countless great contributions to the Principality of Como. The first thing that every Grand Duke of Como does when he takes office is to visit the Oak Mountain Fortress in person, and the commander of each Oak Mountain Fortress must also be a confidant of the previous Grand Duke of Como.

"Step, step!!" The slightly messy steps were like stepping on everyone's hearts, and everyone's heartbeat unconsciously beat with the footsteps in their heads, and everyone was upset and bored. The nobles standing on the platform speculated on the intention of Grand Duke Reis's move with different faces, why everyone didn't get any news in advance, Grand Duke Reis suddenly mobilized troops into the city, although it was nominally a military parade, but everyone present, who is not a human spirit, Grand Duke Reis's move obviously has a deeper meaning, but everyone has a tacit understanding, and there is no point to break it.

"Could it be that something extraordinary happened today?" Suddenly, everyone on the platform kept looking at each other, asking their acquaintances what was going on? The scene was extremely strange for a while. Only the spectators in the civilian stands on the opposite side cheered loudly, and some of the little girls even crowded to the side of the line, constantly throwing flowers at the passing soldiers, and frequently screaming loudly.

Suddenly, the three knights at the front of the first army, controlling the speed of the war horse under the crotch, directly turned the horse's head when they passed directly under the platform, jogged towards the victory platform, handed their guns to their left hands, and the three knights lifted the armor on their faces at the same time, with serious faces. His right hand was raised and slammed into his chest hard, and he gave a military salute to Archduke Reis.

"That's the commander of the First Army, General Dees. It was the knight at the front, who heard that he married the daughter of the sister of the Grand Duke of Reis in his early years, and was the absolute confidant of the Grand Duke of Reis. Behind him were the two captains of the First Army, Commander Algi Kavanv and Captain Leighton, who were General Dees's right-hand men. Just when Lin Meng was looking at the three people in the audience attentively, a short and fat nobleman next to him was whispering to his friend to explain the origin of the three people in the audience, so that Lin Meng also understood a little.

"General Diss!!" Lin Meng muttered softly.

"Bang!!" Grand Duke Reis also a standard military salute, and then waved and nodded to the three generals in the audience with a smile on his face. Seeing the movement of the Grand Duke of Reis, General Dis directly turned his horse's head and took Captain Algi Kavan and Captain Leighton behind him, and hurried back to the front of the team.

"Bang!!" followed the three of General Dees, who looked at the victory platform as each phalanx walked by, and then saluted to the Grand Duke of Reis with his right hand across his chest, and the Grand Duke of Reis kept waving his hand. Compared with the high spirits of the Grand Duke of Lacey at this time, the Marquis of Ness, Ewing, and the Earl of Adrian and General Eton, who had common interests, were gloomy and exchanged glances. Even Marquis Craven and General Depp, who were standing behind Grand Duke Reis, looked at each other with puzzled expressions, but they immediately found that the other party did not know that Grand Duke Reis had such a move. When everyone inquired about the news through their own channels, Grand Duke Reis had a smile on his face, pretending not to know the actions of the people behind him, and looked unfathomable.

After about a quarter of an hour, the group finally passed through, and left Victory Square, but this did not let everyone relax, and everyone guessed that this army must be stationed not far from Victory Square, and as soon as something happened, with the maneuverability of cavalry, it could be reached in the blink of an eye, and crush anything that dared to stand in front of it.

"My dear people, what follows is the long-awaited gladiatorial ......" Grand Duke Reis looked at the empty square under the stage, and said loudly to the opposite stand, the sound passed through a special megaphone in front of Grand Duke Reis, and instantly spread to all sides, attracting frequent applause from the surrounding audience, and some even hysterical hand dancing.

"But this time, it's a little different from the previous gladiatorial fights, I call it the 'Battle for Freedom', and just now our ceremonial officer told me that there are thirty-two gladiators from all over the world participating today. Only one of them will stand to the end, and the gladiator who stands at the end will be the winner of today's 'battle for freedom', and he will be awarded the award by Les Como, the twenty-first duke of the Duchy of Como, and he will henceforth be free, no longer a slave, and enjoy all the rights of a citizen of the Duchy of Como. ”

"Freedom Battle!!"

"Freedom Battle!!"

As the words of Grand Duke Reis fell, the atmosphere of Victory Square was instantly ignited, and a deafening shout erupted from the surrounding stands, all chanting the 'battle for freedom' that Grand Duke Reis said.

Even the gladiators, who were already preparing to appear, began to whisper earnestly, and it was obvious that what the Grand Duke of Reis had just said about the eventual winner would be freed had a great impact on them. It was only after becoming a slave that I realized the value of freedom.

"This time the champion can only be me, whoever stands in my way will kill whom!!" Suddenly, a bald man with a fierce appearance and a burly figure said viciously. After speaking, the two fierce eyes looked around at everyone, and under the awe-inspiring gaze of their murderous intent, the rest of the gladiators all bowed their heads one after another, and they did not dare to look at them in fear.

"Hmph!!" Seeing that his goal had been achieved, the bald man snorted coldly and turned his head away with satisfaction.

"Who is this person, so arrogant?" A short, obscene-looking lean man in the extreme distance behind the bald man rolled his eyes and quietly asked a gladiator beside him.

"Heh, this is the bald head of Langka Province, Daron used to be a mid-level knight, only under the command of General Langka Depp, he was demoted to slavery, this time he was also brought by General Depp, I hope he can kill all sides, among the gladiators of Lanka Province, the bald Daron has fought a total of twenty-three duels without defeat, only behind Millis, who is known as the 'Bloody Reaper', ranking second. The gladiator who was asked by the lewd man, as if to show that he knew a lot, told the lewd man a lot of information about the bald Daron.

"How do you know so clearly?" the lewd man asked deliberately, rolling his eyes again.

"Of course, for the sake of my own life, I have taken great pains to inquire about these news, and no one wants to meet the bald Daron. Now it's okay to go directly to the thirty-two people all on the field together, all the thought spent before is in vain!!" After speaking, the man's face showed distress.

"By the way, I don't know what to call it, my name is West!!" said the lewd man, who hurriedly beat the snake with his stick.

"Billy!!"

"Hey, Billy I have a plan, how are we going to ...... like this?" West gave the bald Daron a strange look, then smiled darkly, and whispered a few words in Billy's ear, not knowing what he said, Billy couldn't help but nod, and after a while, Billy quietly walked up to a gladiator of about his size, and the two talked in a low voice. Although the strange gladiator was a little hesitant at first, after Billy's persuasion, the man finally nodded and agreed to Billy's proposal, and on the other side, West seemed to have gained a good harvest and also persuaded a strange gladiator.

Through the efforts of Billy and West, the two persuaded a total of four other gladiators to form a temporary small group, of course, there were failures, not every gladiator believed the people around them, when West and Billy just said their proposal, they were coldly rejected by the other party, looking like no one was close. Others have already found their partner. Just after Archduke Reis announced the way of the match, West was not alone in thinking of huddling to resist gladiators like Bald Daron who was clearly stronger than everyone else.
