The wealthy businessman who organized the event cut down three slaves and left the ground with limb remains and guts to be cleaned up by the ground crew. After that, the show was a battle for survival, with two gladiators in the top 10 gladiatorial rankings of the previous week being thrown out of the ring. One of them was missing an arm, and the other was lame. The two of them were injured in last week's match and have lost their reputation as heroes of the arena.

Now these two outdated heroes want to use their undissipated fame to make the final contribution to the slave owners, which of course is not their resource. Now they have to form squads to fight against each other, and the organizers will constantly put junior gladiators in groups of three into the arena for both sides to fight. All the two heroes have to do is drag this crippled body through 10 waves of attacks, and then kill each of the beast levels composed of wolves, tigers, elephants, and rhinoceroses to complete this survival battle. As long as they survive, the cheers of the audience and the status of free men are the rewards.

These two have teamed up to deal with the third wave of lower-level gladiators, which means that they have already killed nine people together, and they are already covered in blood. The equipment on the nine dead men was collected together and used as a throwing prop by the lame one to cover the Broken Arm Man who rushed forward.

The group of tattered gladiators brought by the Green Leaf Regiment came to participate in this survival battle as cannon fodder, and now the fourth group has been driven into the gladiatorial arena.

"This time, they shouldn't be able to withstand it, and the subordinate gladiators who were sent out brought shields to fight, and they shouldn't blindly attack like the previous three groups of people but want to fight and consume. ”

A slave owner has his opinion.

"Almost, even if we can win this time, I'm afraid one of these two will die. ”

Another slave owner lamented.

Both of them felt that the former hero on the field was dead, and as a result, they relied on a solid flying knife technique to get through the game safely, but there was a little consumption in the body.

Ilr sighed when he saw this, and felt that these slave owners were such a waste. Although these two people were seriously injured, it could be seen that they were recovering well. As long as they are given time to recuperate, although they can no longer be gladiators, it is always okay to take care of the home or protect the caravan. Now they are sent to attract spectators in this kind of life-or-death competition, which really has no long-term vision.

President Il is familiar with the rules of the gladiatorial arena, and guests sitting in the VIP area can spend money to buy some food, drinks, or armor and weapons for their favorite gladiators in the arena. He didn't spare a little money, so he called the waiter to send some water and twelve throwing knives to the two people on the field at a price hundreds of times higher than the market price.

"Oh, President Il wants to help the two survive?"

"Haha, President Il wants them to hold out until the Beast Pass, right? Like the President, I like to watch the beast devour people alive. ”

Ilr didn't refute the slave owner's words, just smiled.

The sick princess and Zhou Shu sat boredly on the side, and it was not easy to talk about anything when outsiders were there, and watching the scene on the field made the two of them feel very bad. The sick princess, out of the sake of economy, felt that this act of throwing human life into the water was too bad, and if she was a patriotic merchant, she should donate the slaves of combat effectiveness to the army. Master Zhou, this is just a simple fainting blood. I've seen too many bloody scenes recently, but I didn't expect that not only did I not feel used to it, but I couldn't see these things even more.

In the end, the two gladiators did not survive the survival game, and died at the hands of the three low-ranking gladiators who appeared in the eighth round. The one-armed man, who had been charging forward, was so badly wounded that his neck was cut off by the sacrifice of three opponents. His immobile comrades were soon surrounded, and after only a slight struggle, they were stabbed to death by a long sword through the chest.

"It's a shame, President Eir. A slave owner said with regret.

Yier smiled: "It's nothing, life and death are in the sky." A little money is enough. ”

The slave owner also smiled, "I'm not referring to that. President Iir, it's nothing for you to spend a little more money, and you don't care. It's a pity that you didn't get to see the young master of the lantern family, the young man who had just watched the battle here. The Duke of Lantern has a great interest in this eldest son and grandson, and if you can get to know him, it will be a great help to the local business of the Kou Chi Trading Company. ”

The sick princess and Zhou Shu listened beside them, and when they heard that the little yellow hair who had just left turned out to be the grandson of the Duke of the Lantern Lantern, they all chuckled in their hearts. They were planning to calculate the lantern family, but they ran into someone from their family, which inevitably made their hearts empty. But the slave owner's next words directly made the sick princess's heart fall into an ice cave.

"The singer next to the young master of the lantern family is said to have served the king and prince in the White Moon Castle for a whole year, and he is considered half a royal servant. It's a pity that he left too, otherwise he could have asked him to sing a song. ”

Oops! The sick princess jumped up from her chair at once.

Surely the sight I felt before was the singer?

No matter how stupid Zhou Shu was, he couldn't guess what the sick princess was afraid of, so he hurriedly said goodbye to Yi'er, grabbed the sick princess's hand and turned around and walked away without stopping.

The sick princess hurriedly said worriedly as she walked: "The identity of the singer should be true, there is indeed such a person who has been invited to the palace to sing a small tune for a year, and I often listen to it." His hometown, I remember, was the Lantern area. ”

Zhou Shu was even more worried, "You mean that the little son of the lantern family will leave because he found you?"

"It's hard to say. ”

"I don't know what the lantern bearers will do to you if they find out. Zhou Shu scratched his head worriedly, "You can't play this micro-service private interview until today, right?"

"If the Lantern Region really intends to be independent, then they will definitely send someone to arrest me if they know that I am here alone......"

Master Zhou took a deep breath and sighed again. "Don't say anything, eat a candy and run. ”

Both of them are the kind of people who are used to thinking about the worst of things, and they will not be naïve to think that the little master of the lantern family did not find the sick princess, and they will not think that their departure is just an accident. They had just eaten a few candies and just rushed out of the gladiatorial arena, and Zhou Shu was desperate to find that he was already in an ambush. At this time, there was no flow of people outside the gladiatorial arena, and it was empty. This reminded him of the scene in the movie where the police evacuate unrelated citizens before catching the thieves.

The sick princess was deaf and clear-sighted and ate candy, and very lightly, she found a large group of soldiers hiding in nearby houses and buildings, and they were pulling their bows and aiming at her. "There are shooters!" the sick princess shouted, grabbing Zhou Shu's neck and trying to run into the Colosseum. There's at least a cover there.

However, before they could run back, the door of the arena was shut, and a dense stream of iron arrows were fired at the two of them from all directions.

These iron arrows are all shot by soldiers who have been strengthened on the magic array with special hard bows, and they have extremely strong piercing ability. If a wooden arrow with an iron arrow hits a person's body, it will usually get stuck in the internal organs and ribs. In this case, as long as the bleeding stops, you can use the priest's healing spell to heal and heal. But this iron arrow can directly penetrate the human body within a range of 200 meters, and there will definitely be no blockade. And the penetrating wounds it causes to the human body are almost impossible to treat.

Lord Zhou's eyes were quick, and when he saw the arrows flying, he immediately turned around and took the sick princess in his arms, and then summoned out the golden armor. Fortunately, his figure of 1.8 meters is still tall, and he protects the princess tightly. Then came a rain of swords crackling and thunder crashing on the back of the golden armor, and the empty square in front of the colosseum seemed to be turned into a blacksmith shop, and the sound of metals colliding with each other was incessant.

This process lasted for three minutes, making Zhou Shu completely unable to move in place. It's like being surrounded by a dozen machine guns and letting people shoot tens of thousands of rounds at will. Master Zhou didn't feel pain, and the thrust of the arrow was not very strong. But the crackling metal friction gradually made the armor start to burn, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

The sick princess's head is well protected, but her shoulders and legs are inevitably exposed. As a result, her shoulder blades were broken and her ankles were almost broken. Fortunately, she went out with a few bottles of magic potions this time, and took out the potion and put it in her mouth at this critical moment. With enough magic to support her, her body's recovery speed magically caught up with the speed of destruction, and she didn't suffer substantial damage. The skin, muscles, and bones are all like mercury, and when they are scattered, they quickly gather and come together, and it looks terrifying.

Zhou Shushu was not very worried about this meeting, because the Book of Summoning told him that the best person in his neighborhood only had 70,000 summoning points, and he was the fast hand of the Green Leaf Regiment, and this person obviously would not be an officer and soldier and should not come to find trouble. The rest are all 50,000 points, and he, a comrade-in-arms of Princess Fuhu, really didn't pay much attention to it.

When the ambushed archers run out of enhancements, the rain of arrows stops.

The position where Zhou Shu and the sick princess were standing can only be described by the word miserable. The missing iron arrows stuck like javelins on the stone ground and the stone walls of the gladiatorial arena, and those that hit Zhou Shu's body were all bounced away dozens of meters away and covered the ground.

"It's all right, princess. ”

When it rained before, the sound was too noisy, so Zhou Shu had time to ask about the woman in his arms.

"It's okay, I can't die for the time being. ”

It is not a good thing that the sick princess's recovery ability is too strong, and a few arrows are left in the body by the healed bones, and grow together with the flesh and skin. This wound also needs to be broken and the wound heals again.

Zhou Shu looked at the arrow stuck in his shoulder, and pulled it out with all his might.

The sick princess screamed softly very fakely, and then smiled at the wound and replied.

"I know a buddy named Wolverine who got shot in the head...... Medium arrows can be recovered, can you do it?"

The sick princess shook her head, "If you can let me cultivate to the fifth level of internal organs, maybe I can...... But if you reply, you will probably get silly. ”

The two didn't have much time to chat, and a large army was eyeing them.

These soldiers are from the First Legion of Lantern City, the 'Sowers'. The name Sower is taken from the meaning of 'the land of the army, the place where it passes, the city is burned, the seed is sown, and the grass is sown'.

The commander of the Sower's legion had just received an order from the Duke himself to take his entire army into the city to capture a pair of heretics, and to stuff the young master for himself to identify the prisoners.

The pagan offense is very heavy in this world, and it is a collective term for atheists and cultists. The gospel that the gods of the earth and the sky, as worshiped by the land and the forest country, brought to the world and its people is obvious to all. In areas where there are no gods, crops and livestock, animals are smaller, no one can use healing spells, the climate is sometimes arid, sometimes flooded, and often hit by hurricanes. These pagans can survive in the land of calamity that God has left them, but they are never allowed to enter the confines of the country of faith. No lord would allow these heinous atheists and cultists to enjoy the gifts and glory of God.

Although the Captain of the Neurus Army hated the infidels, it was a bit of a fuss to use so many troops to capture two people.

He didn't take this task seriously, but Young Master Cassbello was overseeing the army on the side, so he could only hurriedly let as many soldiers as possible stand on the reinforcement circle, and then run and march to the gladiatorial arena to ambush.

Niruru was very glad at the moment, glad that he did not disobey Young Master Cathbello, and launched the strongest attack at the beginning. Because he found that after this round of arrows, the two infidels on the opposite side were unscathed. If you switch the position of yourself and the other party, I am afraid that you have already died hundreds of times, and maybe the corpses have been nailed to the wall and rotted into minced meat.

The safety of Lord Zhou and the sick princess gave a great mental blow to the soldiers and soldiers of the sowers who were ambushed, which was similar to the feeling of Lord Zhou seeing a buddy who had a nuclear bomb and did not die. Zhou Shuhui thinks that this person is probably Clark Kent. These officers and soldiers directly treated the two as monsters.

"What the hell are the City Gate Army doing, they actually let the monster into the city!"

"Why is there such a pagan monster in the lantern area, has the evil god been released?"

"Sir, please give the order, let's fight with all our might, there are still my wife and children in the city. ”

"Captain, if you dare to give the order to retreat, we will dare to mutinied. ”

The vision that happened to Zhou Shu did not deter these garrison troops, but on the contrary, it ignited their sense of responsibility and desire to fight to defend their homeland.

Zhou Shu and the sick princess just ate a jelly bean that strengthens their hearing when they were just eating candy, and now they have heard these words really.

The sick princess, as the first heir of the White Moon Kingdom, gritted her teeth when she heard that she was called a monster. "Their arrows are finished, take off your armor and we will run away!"

"Escape?" Zhou Shu still remembered what she had done after the sick princess said these two words in Outpost Town, "I don't think the two of us can wipe out an entire legion. "The biggest advantage that Zhou Shu has shown so far is that he is resistant to fighting, as for summoning an army of animals...... Unless the dragon that can summon the Treasure Land, the other cats and dogs will not be able to do anything in the face of these thousands of regular troops.

The sick princess really wants to run this time, and this lantern area can be regarded as a sub-front line and the second barrier of the Gongwei Kingdom, so the number of garrisons here is still very large and the quality is also very high. At this moment, if the two of them are entangled with these people, more soldiers will soon arrive to support, and it will be difficult to fly at that time.

Naturally, the sowers would not let them escape, and after a period of excitement in the crowd, there were already ten squads totaling two hundred and ten people slowly surrounding the two.

The defensive power of the week, the weapons of these big-headed soldiers are naturally not afraid to cut on their bodies. However, he didn't dare to wear gold armor against this group of people, in case he was put down, with the weight of this clothes, he would definitely not be able to get up alone.

Whatever you are afraid of, you can come, and each of the ten squads that rushed up with the encirclement had a chain ball in her hand, and as long as you were tripped by this thing, it was the fate of falling.

"It's not easy to run?" Zhou Shu said as he said a breath of white air, and a hundred otherworldly elephants that had just landed and become summons appeared out of thin air.

These elephants formed a perfect cover with their size, and Zhou Shu took advantage of this gap to summon 750 golden armor that had died once before to replace it with him, and conjured another 750 cloak worn by the sick princess.

"Listen to me, you two, hold on with the elephants over here. Please. ”

The summoner nodded solemnly, indicating that the master did not need to be so polite.

The sudden appearance of this group of elephants stunned these officers and soldiers and froze in place. It wasn't until the elephants obeyed their master's orders and began to run aimlessly in all directions that they woke up from their shock.

The Overseer's Kethbero shouted to the Legionnaire, "Don't let them run away from the elephants!"

Commander Niruru didn't bother to think about where these elephants came from, and directly ordered all the squads to intercept them. However, the two of them soon discovered that the golden-armored man and the cloaked man had no intention of running away, but instead walked forward slowly with their weapons in hand, as if they were going to fight the entire army to the death.

Nierus ordered the non-commissioned officers around him: "Prepare an iron net, and if you can't kill them, catch them and throw them into the lake." Surrender these heretics to the water god for sanctions. ”

The non-commissioned officers received the order and led their squads to rush out of the ambush and go straight to the target.

Zhou Shu and the sick princess had already burrowed into the nearby alley under the cover of the elephant herd at this time, and then ran all the way back to the inn. Shun lì concealed the whole army of sowers.

"I'm so good!" Back in the room, Zhou Shu gave himself a thumbs up. The summons that were sent out to be used as bait were taken back by him.

"The city can't stay any longer, we have to leave as much as we can. "The sick princess said this to Zhou Shu, and also to the fake duke and mother and daughter. "Do you have any relatives to turn to, we'll take care of sending you back. ”

The mother and daughter shook their heads, they were unaccompanied, and their only relative was still being blackmailed by the bad guys because of themselves.

"So......" sighed the sick princess, "...... You're going back to the city of defeat with us?"

On this lantern trip, the sick duke only did one thing, summoning the false duke. Later, the sanction of the Green Leaf Regiment, the rescue of Sir Rod's family, and the acquaintance of the magician all had to end in failure because their identities were discovered.

The good news is that the rebellion of the Lantern City has been clearly accused of attacking the princess, and it is also bad news that the sick princess cannot have any more illusions. Now she has no choice but to do everything in her power to stop the split. This time, if his identity is recognized, he will let the other party declare independence in advance, which can be said to be passive to the extreme.

Zhou Shu also knew that the matter of governing the country was about checks and balances, and it was far from being solved by killing anyone or how many kills. After killing the Duke of Lantern, his son will succeed to the throne, and if he is destroyed, the country of Mensen will naturally support other blood relatives of the Lantern family. This seemingly misunderstood wave of independence is inevitable unless there is a strong sense of resistance on the part of the people.

He was not optimistic about the sick princess's plan to replace the real duke with a fake duke to prevent the country from splitting. If there is really the support of the forest country behind the lantern area, these foreign separatist forces will definitely not allow a retrospective lantern duke to live in the world.

"Anyway, let's run first. "Zhou Shu has no good way now, so he can only go back to the defeated army city first.

Just as the five of them were about to leave the room, a man's voice sounded outside the door.

"You can't escape, the whole city is already under martial law. ”

The mother and daughter, Yvenini and Nalolo, took a step back in fright when they heard this voice, this person is the fast hand of the Green Leaf Regiment!
