Chapter 21: The Pool of Blood (Part I)

"Taylor, Hairy!"

Finally, with a loud roar from the host, Maotou, the protagonist of the Order Arena, appeared. His appearance was undoubtedly the climax of the entire tournament. The crowd began to cheer, and a tidal wave of shouts resounded throughout the arena.

Only then did Rod understand why Aubrey was so enthusiastic about the sport, and the cheers of the thousands of spectators were like thunder, which could stimulate your most sensitive and primitive nerves, and make your blood boil, as if the next second was like being in a bloody battlefield and fighting with your opponent. The competitive spirit that is rooted in the hearts of the people of the North is influencing them all the time.

Even Caroline, a witch who has always been gentle and elegant, showed unusual excitement. Her eyes lit up, and she seemed to melt into the atmosphere...... Alas, it seems that he did come to take an adventure...... Seeing this scene, Rod only sighed silently in his heart. At the same time, the more time he spent with Caroline, the more Rhodes felt that this guy was a childish little girl. Although she was twelve years older than her own daughter, she was not much more mature than Dennis in some ways...... Maybe in a few years, Dennis, who is already an adult, will be even more mature than her......

"What a kid who didn't grow up. ”

Rod couldn't help but sigh in a low voice.

"What?"

was caught by Caroline.

"Oh, nothing, I mean Alves......"

Rod explained. She then motioned for Caroline to look at Alves. I saw that the dwarf was also dancing with his hands and his face excited. Caroline smiled and continued to engage in the national carnival.

Maotou raised his weapon in the center of the field and yelled at the audience. The roar was like the roar of a wild beast, irritating the residents of Ringring who had come to watch the game. Emotions were detonated again.

It wasn't until the host signaled the audience to be quiet again that everyone's cheers gradually stopped.

"Brothers and sisters, the most exciting moment has finally arrived. Next, we will witness the race of the great legend Taylor Maotou. Taylor is a legend in the Ring, fifteen, fifteen years, no gladiator has been able to defeat him. Taylor Maotou is a living legend and will continue to do so. Below, let's embark on a bloodthirsty journey for the first real gladiatorial match. The challenger is Baron Cano. ”

The moderator, standing in the center of the podium, announced loudly.

Immediately, the iron door of the arena was slowly opened. A heavily armed human gladiator slowly walked into the ring. By human standards, the challenger named Barron was already a burly man, a man of over a meter tall, armed with an oak shield and a short sword, wearing heavy full-body plate armor, a huge iron helmet on his head, and a barbed wire fence on his cheeks that resembled a hornet's nest. Armed from head to toe, so to speak.

The fact that the challenger was dressed so thickly did not cause disgust among the audience, on the contrary, the civilians were happy with such an outfit. Because if it weren't for such thick equipment, it would be difficult for any human challenger to resist the three attacks of the wild man's hairy head. Just imagine, how boring it would be to kill an opponent in three moves. It's like pure slaughter, not athleticism.

Therefore, the appearance of the challenger did not cause much repercussions.

Compared to the heavily armed human challengers, the Savage Furry looks light. He wore only a simple piece of hard leather armor, huge steel shoulder pads on both shoulders, a thin heart guard in the middle of the two straps, and almost no protective gear on the lower half of his body, revealing the thick leg hair. The only thing that stood out was his helmet, which was a huge horned helmet. Sharp steel horns protrude from both sides of the helmet, like the horns of a bull, and the shape is terrifying. This is reminiscent of the Chaos Warriors of historical legends. Although no one born in this era has ever seen a Chaos Warrior.

"Now, it's time for the game!"

With the host's order, the two gladiators began to fight.

Rod noticed that although the human challenger was well-armed and burly, he still lacked confidence in front of the legendary fighter Taylor Maotou, who was nearly two meters tall and as strong as an ox. At least as soon as it opened, Maotou completely suppressed the opponent in terms of momentum.

He barely stood still, carrying an axe with a look of disdain. When the opponent rushed up, he took a slight sideways step, and a stumbling kick knocked the menacing challenger to the ground.

The audience rang out with a unanimous "boo". For the Rings crowd who were looking forward to seeing a challenging match, such a race that was crushed at the beginning was nothing to watch. Some people even shouted directly after seeing this scene for Maotou to quickly execute the other party and start the next one. Such an opponent is not worth fighting.

However, the human gladiator who has been pushed to the edge of the sword has no possibility of retreating, and today, if he does not kill Mao Tou, he will never be able to raise his head when he returns. Honor was of paramount importance to gladiators, even more than their lives. It's better to die than to lose your honor.

Amid the sighs of the audience, the fallen human gladiator rose to his feet and charged again at the arena champion Taylor Maotou. This time, however, unsurprisingly, he was knocked out again. I saw that at the moment when the other party rushed to the front, the savage picked up the axe, and a whirlwind slash with the momentum, and the axe blade slashed directly at the gladiator's lower plate. Before the opponent's short sword could stab, the sharp tomahawk slashed his calf.

Suddenly, in the sand pit of the arena, there was an extra bloody broken leg. The challenger fell to the ground with a heart-rending scream, blood staining the lower half of his body. However, the audience sent out a carnival.

"Execution! Execution!"

The audience reverberated with the deafening shouts of the crowd. That is the worship of the strong and the contempt for the weak. Even Aubrey, the Lord of the Rings on the podium, smiled with satisfaction. The beast is victorious again, and he needs more blood and raw meat......

Aubrey clenched his fists and thumbs down, making an execution gesture.

Immediately, Mao Tou stepped on the challenger's chest, held the axe with one hand, and slashed the gladiator's neck with an axe. The bloody head just rolled silently to the side. The audience resounded with even more fanatical cheers.

"Maotou!

They screamed and reveled in the feast of blood.

Soon, the executed human gladiator was dragged off the field. In its place, there is the next challenger. A manic greenskin.
