"I don't know what's going on out there. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info "A gladiator close to the cell stared at the cell door with wide eyes, he was shirtless, his muscles were well-defined, and there were several obvious scars on his bronzed skin, and even one of them was just below his throat,

"Peng" He suddenly slapped the railing with both hands, and the railing suddenly shook, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.

Two years ago, he and a dozen of his companions were brought to the arena, and he was the only one of them still alive in this world, even with the blood of the other two companions on his hands.

"No matter what happens, Lao Tzu just wants to ask Lao Tzu when his dinner will be delivered. A big man with a skull tattoo on his chest scolded, his stomach rumbling with hunger.

"Yes, why hasn't the food been delivered yet, could it be that the people who were cut down outside just now were all cooks?"

......

At this moment, there was a very clear sound of unlocking outside, and then the pulling of iron chains, and the gladiators inside immediately stopped grumbling and turned their eyes to the gate.

"Bang Dang"

The cell door was violently kicked open.

From outside the door, groups of imperial soldiers wearing purple military uniforms kept pouring in, after they entered the cell, they did not stop, but scattered on both sides of the cell very tacitly, after a while, there were several soldiers standing in front of each cell, at a glance, very neat.

One of them, who clearly looked like an officer, stepped out from behind, glanced briefly at the gladiators, and shouted loudly, "Count the numbers immediately." ”

These people turned out to be soldiers of the empire, and some gladiators in the cell suddenly showed excited expressions on their faces, many of these gladiators were from the Dashang Empire, and naturally knew what this purple military uniform represented, before they became gladiators, they used to be either family private soldiers, or some fighters, or prisoners.

Seeing the Imperial soldiers appear in the cell, they suddenly had an idea, whether these Imperial soldiers had already defeated the Sith family, otherwise how could they appear on the territory of the Sith family.

In the laws of the Empire, there was no such thing as gladiators, in other words, they were likely to be free.

An atmosphere of joy suddenly permeated the cell, and they all got up from the ground, clung to the iron rods on the fence, and looked at the Imperial soldiers in silence.

The cell was not only dimly lit, but also emitted a musty and damp smell, and the officer yawned impatiently, and after a while, the soldier ran over and reported, "Chief Yokokawa, the total is three thousand two hundred and fifty people. ”

The officer raised his head, and the scar on his face was particularly eye-catching, it was Huang Fei's instructor six years ago - Hengchuan.

Yokokawa turned his head sideways and whispered a few words to the soldier next to him, and the soldier nodded and quickly ran out, and after a while, dozens of soldiers appeared carrying dozens of buckets of food.

"Send this food down," Yokokawa instructed a few words, then cleared his throat, "Guys, I'm honored to inform you that we are the ...... of the Imperial Army."

A wave of cheers immediately erupted in the cell, and Yokokawa frowned and covered his ears with his hands, his eardrums almost shattered by the howls of these sturdy gladiators.

"Be quiet, be quiet. Yokokawa's voice was completely drowned out by the shouts, and he could only make a gesture to the soldiers next to him, and the other soldiers understood, and immediately raised their spears in their hands, and the cheers of the gladiators immediately stopped abruptly.

Yokokawa made a gesture of victory, he was very satisfied with the effect, and then he shouted loudly at the gladiators, "I just said that we are the Imperial Army, we are from the city of Parry in the province of Derinx, and this time we are here to relieve you from the suffering of the Sith family, I believe that no one here is more qualified to hate the tyrannical rule of the Sith family than you, and the Sith family has used your blood to You live to sustain their luxurious and absurd lives, to earn money for them with your dignity, and they are the ones who have taken away your freedom and destroyed everything you have......"

Listening to Yokogawa's shout, the gladiators in the cell couldn't help but grit their teeth and clench their fists, since they entered the gladiatorial arena of the Sith family, they were shrouded in the shadow of death every day, and they never dared to imagine that one day they would be able to come out alive.

"Now, on behalf of the Empire, I will announce that all of you, all of you, have been pardoned, and will no longer be gladiators of the Sith family in the future, and from today onwards, you will become the subjects of my Great Shang Empire. ”

"Roar!" there was a deafening roar from the cell again, but this time Yokokawa didn't stop them, because in his eyes, he saw many gladiators roaring and crying bitterly, and some people kneeling on the ground and kissing the earth, gesturing with their hands on their chests to thank the god of war for glory.

"But don't rejoice too soon. Yokokawa and the others quieted down again and said, "I might as well tell you the truth, at present, the Sith family is fighting with other family forces, and the battle situation is unpredictable now, so you still need to fight for your fate." ”

Yokokawa paused and shouted loudly, "Now I declare that according to the Imperial Wartime Emergency Law, all three thousand two hundred and fifty people here have been conscripted into the Imperial Pari City Army Camp. ”

"I think many of you will be thinking about agreeing to come down for the time being, and then wait for an opportunity to escape. Yokogawa glanced at everyone and said with a sneer, under his gaze, some people tilted their heads to the side and didn't dare to look at him, and some gladiators really thought so in their hearts.

"Don't forget, on your left arm is branded with the word Fight of the Sith family, if you escape, once we fail, I think you should also know the consequences, what will happen if you are caught by the Sith family, however, if you join us, your treatment will be the treatment of our imperial soldiers, if you make meritorious contributions, you can also be rewarded and promoted, how about it, think about it?"

Yokokawa tried to coerce and lure these wavering gladiators with words.

"However, we, as Imperial soldiers, will never do such a human rights violation, and if you really don't want to be drafted, then we will pay for the passage and send you home. ”

"Sir, are you telling the truth?" asked one of the gladiators, cautiously tentatively, not believing that such a good thing could happen.

"Swear in the name of the god of war. Yokokawa raised his left fist and cursed and swore an oath.

"Now, all those who are willing to join the Imperial Army should line up in turn, and those who want to go home should stay and wait for the passage fee. "The soldiers were ordered to open the cages and release the gladiators one after another.

After the gladiators removed the heavy shackles of their wrists and ankles, they saluted Yokogawa with gratitude on their faces before leaving, and soon there were only more than 100 gladiators in the cell who were ready to go home and the shackles in one place.

Yokokawa looked at the rest of the people and smiled faintly, "I'm sure there are no people among you who have asked to join the Imperial Army." ”

After receiving a firm answer, his face suddenly sank, "Soldier, lock the cell for Lao Tzu again." ”

Seeing that the cell was once again heavily chained, the remaining hundred or so gladiators immediately shouted anxiously.

"What are you doing here, sir, didn't you say you would send us home?"

"Sir, you swore to the god of war, you can't be untrustworthy. ”

"There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world, and since you have given up the opportunity to control your own destiny, then don't expect others to do anything for you? Yokokawa strode out of the door with a cold face, and threw down another sentence, "Also, I don't believe in the god of war, if the god of war has an opinion, let him come to me." ”

Yokokawa knew that the final outcome of these people being put back in a cell would definitely be starved to death, but he also knew that if he allowed these people to leave, not only would the hearts of the other gladiators be shaken, but once they were caught by the Sith family, it would be very likely to leak the strength of the Parry Imperial Army.

"General, what to do with the dozen or so big guys orcs inside?" Hengchuan had just walked out of the gloomy cell when soldiers ran over to report from behind.

"Orcs?" Yokokawa paused, thinking for a moment, "Bring them all to the training ground early tomorrow morning, so that the brethren can meet these big guys too." ”
