19. Lose the game, win the life

"Rush over and stab her chariot with a sword!"

"Shoot her with a crossbow! Shoot her horse!"

......

The audience screamed with excitement and almost madness, and if they were still enjoying the tension of an uncertain winner, they were now arguing fiercely about how the little girl would fall off the horse, and how she would be treated cruelly. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Lian Zhan, the disadvantage in physical strength, it is normal that there are no miracles in the gladiatorial arena, but ...... It seems that this time it was too unfair to this little girl.

The little girl in Beidou's sight is still trying her best to drive the chariot, intending to regain the disadvantage little by little, there is no tension and panic in her eyes that may arise because of the backwardness, as if she has lost the first move, is at a disadvantage, and even may usher in death, in her opinion, it is just a thing similar to fighting.

Calm and composure were admirable, but the little girl's disadvantage had become more and more obvious, and it seemed that even the horse pulling the chariot she was riding in had something wrong.

"Why didn't she run inward?"

Seeing the little girl pulling the reins and driving the chariot, Beidou couldn't help but feel a little impatient. It stands to reason that the little girl should have adjusted her state early after the passivity just now, but until now her carriage is still dangling in the outer circle, and she has no intention of approaching the inner circle at all.

The original round arena was artificially formed into a circle in the second round, in other words, if you want to complete as many laps as possible, it is fastest to get close to the inner circle. Whether it's from catching up with her opponent or getting her weapons as quickly as possible, it's essential for the little girl to drive close to the inner circle, but why is she still ......

"Horse, the horse is wounded. Valkyrie, who was sitting next to Beidou, still explained the reason unhurriedly, "The man who drove the car just now wasn't as simple as knocking the girl off the carriage, he should have also considered the consequences after the failure." The horse in front of the girl's chariot should have been injured by the impact just now, although it will not react superfluously due to manic reasons, but it will still subconsciously avoid running towards the left front. Haven't you seen the situation in the Colosseum grounds until now?"

"Round Gladiatorial Arena ......"

It should have been that, but Valkyrie's words clearly meant more than that. Why is the horse with an injured left hoof reluctant to run close to the inner circle, perhaps......

"Could it be...... Height?"

"It's the topography, this gladiatorial arena takes into account all the factors, the terrain is sunken. From the part of the outer circle of the auditorium to the center of the inner circle, the terrain begins to decrease little by little. Therefore, the sand is not a flat continent, the closer you go to the inner circle, the more concave it becomes, not that the girl is unwilling to get close to the inner circle, but her crazy horse, subconsciously not wanting to be hurt more. ”

After a pause, Valkyrie sighed, "Moreover, a crazy horse does not know how to protect itself. The normal horse has long since stopped because of the pain, but the crazy horse continues to consume its life. By the time the pain of its wound could no longer be ignored, the girl would probably have fallen out of the carriage. There is not much time left for her. ”

The rest of the audience naturally didn't think about the battle situation while watching the gladiatorial fight, like Beidou and Valkyrie, and their eyes were full of anticipation and excitement for the bald man who was about to get the weapon and solve the girl beautifully.

"It's time to come!

"What kind of weapon is he going to have!?"

"A two-handed sword! It must be a two-handed sword!"

However......

[Whew]

The chilling sound of the wind brushed the ears of the bald man, not so much to live up to the expectations of some of the audience, but to say that he had completely surprised all the audience. Driving the chariot, when he finished a lap and passed the pillar with weapons, he not only did not choose, but also waved the reins, driving the horse to gallop more quickly.

"What is this guy doing! Too late to take it?"

"Don't be like you! he's the star of hope among the slaves of this class!"

"Then why didn't he take a weapon, you said!?"

"Shut up, shut up, if you don't understand, just watch obediently, you can do it!"

The bald man didn't take any weapons, but drove the chariot to start his second lap. This was supposed to be a rare opportunity for the girl who got out of danger, but Beidou's heart rose even more uneasy.

The previous round of deathmatch has already proved that all the slaves who appeared this time are not single-celled stupid, and it is obvious that the bald man must have his plan to do this. And...... It feels like a very dangerous plan.

"He's speeding up ......"

Soon, Beidou saw the abnormality of the bald man. Driving close to the inner circle, he already has a faint drive to catch up with the girl again, at this speed, I am afraid that he will soon be able to completely surpass the little girl's circle.

"He's running so fast, doesn't he want to attack?"

"No, it's because you want to attack so much that you have to be prepared. ”

Valkyrie chuckled, "Do you think that man has other plans?"

"Hmmm......"

"That's true, your instincts are good. Valkyrie nodded, "The rules of chariot warfare are that you can take a weapon placed on a stone pillar after running a lap, so ...... What if he completes two laps?"

"That's two...... Could it be that Beidou was startled, and involuntarily turned his gaze to the bald man. He obviously used more force to swing the whip after the first lap and looked like he was trying to run the second lap as much as possible.

"That's right, theoretically in the second lap because both sides have already got their weapons, so there will be no more weapons, but there will be situations like now, where one side completely overtakes the other by one circle. In other words, if the man finishes a lap again, he can take both weapons, and it is precisely for this reason that he didn't take the weapon just now, whether it is a two-handed sword or a crossbow, if he takes it, it will inevitably affect the speed, so he simply does not take the weapon, so as to let the war horse run with the greatest strength. In addition, the girl is already driving in the outer circle at full strength, so it is not a problem to overtake her again. ”

Sure enough, the man driving the chariot was completely indifferent to the girl on the second lap, even if he passed by her, he just subconsciously made a defensive move, and overtook it in an instant. However, the little girl, who had been trying to keep the carriage in its direction, seemed to be aware of the devastating danger that might ensue, and after looking around for a while, she quickly removed a piece of wood from the chariot and then poked it hard at the horse's buttocks.

Hoof raised, roaring...... Even the drugged war horse inevitably became more blind because of the pain, although because of the reins, the horse did not run to any strange places, but it seemed to be burning the last time of its life, and suddenly increased its speed, gradually catching up with the bald man before her.

However, even this was in vain, neither side had any weapons, and neither dared to risk the outcome of another collision with each other, and the person who fell to the ground would be sentenced to death, which was not something that the two of them could change.

The audience was shouting frantically, watching them get closer and closer to the stone pillars, the crumbling of horses' hooves, the dust kicked up by the wind, everything made the situation in the arena chaotic and hazy. It's close! It's close! The second lap of the bald man, the first lap of the girl is coming to an end! The bald man is still in the lead, even if it is just a carriage distance, but it also gives him the opportunity to choose his weapon calmly, and ...... He can take both. As for the little girl, she can also take a weapon for sure, so ...... Which one will she choose!?

"It's going to begin! don't blink and take a good look, Beidou!" Valkyrie's voice suddenly became sharp, "That's why I respect these warriors, why Valhalla exists!"

“!”

That's right, the time has come, and the bald man who is one step ahead stands tall, apparently intending to snatch both weapons. And the girl who was one behind did not show weakness, relying on her agile posture, she stepped on the back of the war horse and jumped out into the air!

The war horse, which had already been injured in many places, fell down with a simple wail after being trampled on for a moment, and the chariot he was pulling turned into a wooden strip in a moment, and the girl ...... There was no way out, she had to jump onto the bald man's chariot or ......

Before she falls to the ground, get her opponent back to the west first. But...... None of these are so simple......

With the force of her jump, the girl quickly overtook the bald man, and her weapon of choice was the crossbow that hung higher up.

【Click】

With one hand around the pillar and the other with a crossbow, the girl kicked off the bowstring with her foot, and then aimed at the horse of the man's chariot, which was the girl's last chance and struggle. However...... Maybe all she can do now is really in vain.

【Whoosh】

The crossbow bead shot the bald man's horse with great force, but as the horse fell down with a wail, the bald man also stepped on the chariot and took off his two-handed sword, and then leaped into the air and swung it at the girl who was holding the pillar and pulling the trigger.

There was nowhere to escape, and there was no chance to escape, and the moment she jumped to the crossbow on horseback, the girl's next move was already the only one for the bald man, so it was normal for her to be targeted.

Perhaps, as Valkyrie said, here ...... There are no miracles.

"Good!!"

"One cut in two!"

The audience's roar suddenly sounded, and Beidou, who hurriedly skimmed his face, thanked these unsympathetic audience members for the first time, at least their noise and excitement covered up the tragedy that was happening in the gladiatorial arena. The bald man who fell from the war horse would inevitably fall to the ground, but before that, his sword, a sharp and heavy two-handed sword, had swung at the girl without hesitation.

Therefore...... He is a winner, winning with no danger, winning beautifully, wisdom, courage, judgment, and strength are all complete, and the cheers of the audience also prove his excellence. But......

"Valkyrie, I won't watch the next duel. ”

Beidou said and stood up, if he could, he didn't want to stay here for a moment. It's just that before that he has one thing that he has to do.

"Hmm...... It's really bloody for you, have you already decided?" Valkyrie nodded, "That man, you did choose the right ......"

"It's not. ”

Maybe there is no way to save all the slaves, and maybe there will be other slaves who die in various tragedies in the future. By no means because of pity for the unfairness of the girl, nor because she was the only female slave this time, but at least if the soul saved was her, it would allow her to ask for this humiliating and unwilling memory.

Beidou pointed to the blood-red in the gladiatorial arena, "The soul I plan to choose is that little girl." ”
