Chapter 265: The Decisive One
The stone steps around the arena are filled with people who love to watch the excitement, pointing at the elite warriors from the upper city who stand in the middle of the arena, and those who are familiar will take the opportunity to tell the past achievements of this citizen, and the words with a strong sense of substitution are as if they had experienced it themselves.

When Casio, a Gentile who was ready, stepped on the arena again, he was still the customary two-handed sword, but the changes in his body could not hide from the citizens of the upper city, especially the priestesses of the Sea Temple, who had learned the relevant knowledge in the inner sanctum, and couldn't help but boo.
"Festos, you must do everything in your power to defeat the tricky gentiles. ”
The elite warrior's eyesight was not bad, he put on a wolf-haired mane helmet with a blank face, put a bronze shield into his left glove, tightened the snap button, and held a short spear made of ash wood in his right hand, with a sharp head made of hard copper.
Casio the Gentile took a deep breath, dragged his great sword in his right hand, and trotted at a trot, adjusting his pace and charging straight for the elite warriors of the upper city.
Festos knew that he could not back down, and the hundreds of pairs of eyes in the arena, half of them citizens, would surely be overshadowed if he were to be confronted with a Gentile from Midtown, even if he won in the end.
After all, this Gentile named Casio has already faced off against three citizens before, and he has won three consecutive games, becoming the brightest person in the arena today.
"Only by defeating such people can I make my name remembered by everyone. The great founding day, a festival for citizens, will also add luster to it. ”
This elite warrior in the upper city, in the face of the menacing Gentile Casio, had no intention of retreating or dodging, but stepped forward with his left foot, his body sank slightly, and his right hand clenched the short spear, and retracted it on his waist, like a poisonous snake choosing a person to devour.
"Kill!"
Casio rushed closer, saw Festos' defensive posture, took a deep breath, and erupted into an astonishing roar, like the overlord of the Nemean Valley, shaking the elite warrior with a thunderous roar, trying to shake his mind.
Festos did not expect such an accident to happen, he was immediately affected, his reaction became sluggish, and the viper in his right hand did not seize the opportunity to attack, and could only defend it with a bronze shield.
"Clanging!"
The sound of metal clashing sparkled a string of shining sparks, shields forged thousands of times, constantly vibrating and buzzing slightly.
Festos felt a sharp pain, his left hand lost sensation, and his right foot immediately took a half step forward, twisted his waist and moved his body, and unloaded the sword with the remaining strength.
"Whoosh!" The short spear that had been stored for a long time, like a poisonous snake wrapped around the branches of a tree in the forest, waited for an opportunity to aim at the birds that passed through the hunting range, and shot out violently.
Casio used two combat skills in a row, and at this time, it was the empty period when the old power was exhausted and the new power was not born, and he couldn't dodge it, so he could only avoid the key vital parts.
Lady Luck favored the Gentiles, and Festos had just been hit by the roar of a lion, and the balance felt the effects, causing a very sure serpent tooth spurt, deviating from the established trajectory and sticking to Casio's belt.
Festos, annoyed in his heart, immediately turned his body to the side of the Gentile with his right foot as the axis, and the short spear came to the back of his neck, resting on the upper edge of the shield, and launched a continuous thrust with great precision.
Casio faced this strange move for the first time, and was attacked by the elite fighters of Uptown one after another, and suffered multiple injuries to his left shoulder and lower ribs.
With the grace of Lady Luck and the secret ointment used in advance, the skin became tougher, and several wounds were shallow, and there was not much blood coming out.
At this point, the used strength quickly returned from his hands and feet, and Casio temporarily retreated a few steps to widen the distance, clenched his broadsword with both hands, and used continuous heavy slashes desperately.
He was gambling, squeezing his own blood and the honor he had just won, betting that this elite warrior from Uptown would once again confront him in front of the gaze of many arena spectators.
It's a pity that Casio is too self-righteous, and in the face of ordinary Uptown citizens, there is a good chance that this trick will work.
However, Festos was born into a famous family and was regarded as a general, and he was the seed of focused training, not only learning superb combat skills, but also knowing how to use psychological tactics.
The elite warrior was well aware of his strength and knew that he could not resist the superior skills of the Gentiles, so he did not hesitate to dodge sideways, and the ash spear was like a kingfisher on the shore, aiming at the small fish swimming in the river and launching a foolproof pounce.
The continuous heavy slashing technique, combined with the two-handed greatsword, is almost impossible to fight head-on, but the sides of the user are empty and defenseless.
When Casio saw the target in front of him, he dodged regardless of face, and the dangerous spear head stabbed straight in, and the momentum of the sword slashing in both hands could not be stopped, and he was very annoyed in his heart, so he could only tense the muscles of his whole body and take the blow hard.
"Whoosh!"
Festos wasted no chance, and the head of the spear made of hard copper stabbed the Gentile into the waist like lightning, knocking him down in an instant.
In the stands of the upper city of the arena, all the citizens stood up and cheered, and the gentiles in the middle city hurriedly burst into applause, but they were sparse, without the neat rhythm just now.
Casio knew that he had failed everyone's expectations, and the pain in his heart was worse than the wound, the honor of winning three consecutive games just now was taken away by Festos in an instant, and as a loser in the arena, he could only leave his life and death to this elite warrior.
Favored by Lady Luck, Festos was enjoying the cheers of the citizens of the arena, and thanks to his outstanding performance, he not only redeemed the lost reputation of the three citizens, but also won glory for himself and for the Uptown.
Therefore, the elite warrior generously bestowed grace with only the short spear in his hand and slashed it across the Gentile cheek, leaving a shallow scar, instead of striking at the main artery of Cassio's neck.
"This showdown, the winner, citizen Festos!"
The elite warrior from the upper city, amid enthusiastic cheers, walked step by step to the stone steps of the stands, his place was reserved by his close companions, and the blood-stained weapons, the rolled shields, and the wolf-fur helmet were forcibly taken away by familiar citizens, and he did not care.
The battle that belonged to him was over, and Festos became a spectator again, looking forward to the next showdown with the citizens around him.
The person in charge of the arena immediately beckoned two battle slaves to go to the field with stretchers and move the defeated Gentiles down.
After a while, he turned his head to look at the Gentile "Anglo" and lightly bowed his head: "Now it's your turn!"
Lu Bin was a little puzzled, looked at the few people who had registered earlier than him, and signaled that he could not take the lead and disrupt the established order.
The person in charge of the arena shook his head: "The cunning and scheming Festos won the victory, and now the atmosphere in the venue is like a boiling hot soup, if you arrange a low-level battle, whether you win or lose, it will lead to a cold field." For the sake of the income of the arena, for the glory of the citizens on the foundation day, I had to change the order of appearances. Arrange for you to fight the wild boar and continue to build momentum to attract more people to buy tickets to enter the venue. ”
"Everything Your Excellency did was for the Arena, for the great festival of the Day of the Founding of the City. The guard, who is also a citizen, hurriedly added, and immediately received an approving glance from the person in charge in response.
Lu Bin knew that he couldn't refuse, nodded vigorously, walked into the aisle alone, with weapons on both sides, picked out a mace, and dragged the weapon into the field.
When he was far away, the person in charge of the arena immediately reached out and beckoned helpers, they included the citizens of the upper city, the gentiles of the middle city, "The Colosseum is about to begin, you go to the stone steps stand and ask if anyone is betting." Remember to tell them that it's a newcomer who appears against the king of the arena. ”
"** Longitudinal gambling, a profit, is thirty days of income. Castos, you are more cunning than Festos, but you speak more eloquently. ”
The guard vaguely knew the secret, but he didn't want to get involved, and he didn't want to spoil the fun of the person in charge of the arena, after all, this was also a citizen from a famous family.
Lu Bin walked into the venue, and hurried to familiarize himself with the long-handled mace, the dazzling sunlight was useful to others, and it worked on him, after all, it was now the low tide period after the crossing, fortunately, the book of the traveling mage was on his body.
In the stands on both sides of the arena, people walked around from time to time, and after exchanging heads, the spectators handed out the coins with their left hand and took the gambling tickets with their right hands.
The coins fell into their pockets, clanged, and the noisy and noisy people increased, their faces turned red, their necks thickened, and the crowd fell into euphoria.
Everything was ready, the iron fence rose violently, Lu Bin suddenly smelled the smell of a beast, and the book of the traveling mage in his body shook faintly, and he immediately realized that the big wild boar was a dangerous opponent, but also an opportunity.
