18. Miracles forbidden

In fact, as Valkyrie pointed out, for the warriors who were already on the sixth floor, one or two beasts of prey were just an appetizer, all kinds of slaves in the colosseum used their best means to fight to the death with the beasts that any ordinary person would feel jealous of, swords, bows, spears, these were all ordinary, and some slaves even tortured their opponents to death with their bare hands. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Their happiness is the moment when they win the fight to the death and continue to live, and how many of the spectators who watch it all like a circus cheer for the slaves to live? Perhaps...... If there is a different ending, they will make a lot of trouble.

"The last one...... Is it a little girl?"

The first round of the gladiatorial arena and the beast of the beast are over, but Beidou's mind is still on the guy who has just appeared last, much shorter than the other slaves. With a coarse cloth wrapped around her scrawny body and her gray hair unkempt, she walked barefoot on the sand and was almost indistinguishable from the refugee children Beidou had seen on TV.

But...... Putting that aside, it seems that this little guy is more than just malnourished, because ...... She was decisively different from the previous slaves, as she was the only female slave in the arena this time.

"Yes, it's a human woman. Valkyrie nodded, and the meaning of her words was self-evident. Why there was only that little girl among the slaves who appeared this time, the reason is not difficult to find if you think about it carefully.

Compared with men, women have an inherent disadvantage in strength and speed, and the appearance of only a little girl is not without the existence of female slaves, but ...... Most of them have already been in the past deathmatch......

Although the little girl in front of her relied on her flexible mind and skills to ride on the back of the tiger and smash the opponent's head little by little with her small axe, her state was far from enough to support her to survive in the next deathmatch. Because......

"The second round is a chariot battle. ”

The audience became quiet again, looking at the yellow sand dancing in the arena. Soon, several strong men of five big and three thick men led two horses dragging chariots to the gladiatorial arena, not a comfortable carriage in some story, but a chariot that needed people to pull the reins and maintain balance in order to stand firm.

"Next, it's a showdown between the warriors. Both horses are supposed to have been fed some sort of drug and become unusually manic. The slaves had to drive the chariot around the arena while trying to knock each other out of the chariot, and the side that fell off the chariot had to ...... even if they had room to spare."

"Is it okay to do it any way?"

"Yes, it's not an absolutely fair duel, but it's as balanced as possible. Both horses are manic and can only run vigorously, so no matter how good the skill is, it will not work. In this battle, it is a contest of courage and wisdom, pushing, striking, or aiming at the opponent's life at the beginning, it is not an easy task to make the opponent lose while protecting their own carriage. ”

After a pause, Valkyrie stretched out his hand and pointed to the stone pillar in the center of the field that had been erected by the coolies little by little, "Do you see that pillar? After the chariot battle begins, someone on the stone pillar as the starting point will start to prepare two random weapons, and grabbing the right weapon will naturally become advantageous in the rest of the journey, but this needs not to waste time due to superfluous actions at the beginning." All...... It's up to the warriors to think about it themselves. ”

"It's cruel. Beidou thought about it and could only answer like this.

"That's why they're worthy warriors. Valkyrie's eyes returned to the gladiatorial arena, and she didn't seem to want to miss every minute of the battle between the warriors.

"Ready!" Valkyrie took a deep breath, "and the stone pillar is hung with ...... Two-handed swords and crossbows. ”

In the second battle, it is obvious that it is no longer allowed to bring weapons, so the two-handed swords, which belong to sharp weapons, play a very big role when the chariot is scorched. However, if you open the gap from the beginning and get your hands on the crossbow, it will be deadly from a distance, even though it seems to be only a single ball of steel on it. You don't need to shoot people, you only need to shoot the galloping horse to make the opponent drop the chariot. As Valkyrie said, everything ...... It's all in the judgment of the combatants themselves.

The weapons were ready, the restless, and the horses that kept snorting were also led to the stone pillars, and the protagonists of this second round of "chariot battles" also slowly and leisurely walked into the gladiatorial commander. On the left is a muscular bald man, but Beidou's impression of him is not limited to the sun-scorched oily head, judging from the first round of battles, this man is well-deserved "strongest", bare-handed in the face of the hungry tiger that pounced, he flashed very flexibly, and then beat the poor big cat alive with a powerful fist again and again.

However, the words of the opponent of the bald man on the right......

"Why is it still her!?" After seeing the thin figure again, Beidou couldn't hold back the emotion in his heart anymore and stood up. The bald man's opponent is the little girl who struggled to solve the opponent at the end of the first round and finally survived.

"Coming out again in such a short time, don't you even give time to rest!?"

"It's not that she didn't give it, it's just that she didn't get it herself. ”

Valkyrie symbolically tugged on Beidou's arm to signal him to sit down, and then slowly spoke, "I said at the beginning that there is no absolute fairness here, and only the powerful can survive in the gladiatorial arena, and naturally the organizers also believe in this principle. The first round of battles is timed, and the time it takes to kill the beast will be directly used in the order of appearance in the second round. The shortest and longest first appearances, followed by second and penultimate appearances, and so on. This girl had used up too much time before, so it was inevitable that she would encounter a strong enemy directly in the second round. ”

"Three!"

"Two!"

"One!"

Just when Beidou was choked by Valkyrie's emotionless words and didn't know what to say, the surrounding audience had already spontaneously acted as the starter. Dancing and shouting hoarsely, they experienced the "pleasant" feeling of indirectly determining the life and death of a slave.

"Let's go!"

The cloth covering the eyes of the two horses was also removed, and before the neighing horses could react, they were slapped on the buttocks one after another, and they raised their hooves in pain, and began to gallop with the bald man and the little girl respectively. At this time, the two were very close, but they had not yet reached the place where the "fight" was allowed, it was an artificially drawn trace, as long as the carriage crossed there, it meant that the two sides could officially begin...... Unscrupulous means to get the other party out of the carriage.

It's closer...... It's almost there. Come on, little girl, don't ......

"It's going to be, it's going to be

"Look!"

Wave after wave of cheers from the audience rang out for the upcoming duel. Beidou clenched his fists and stared motionlessly at the thin, thin figure that was already a little shaky. As for Valkyrie, perhaps the two slaves in the Colosseum were just "respectable warriors" in her eyes, without bias, without emotion, she was just silent, as her identity and work represented, looking down on everything that happened in the Colosseum.

For her, the soul is just the soul, and since they are all honorable, then ...... There is no emotion.

The carriage is coming!

Beidou's expression was grim, but the miracle he was looking forward to did not happen, and in this gladiatorial arena that relies on courage and wisdom to survive, I am afraid that there is no such thing as a "miracle" for a long time. The moment the two carriages crossed the line, the bald man, hunched over and pulling the reins, forcibly pulled the chariot and stuck towards the chariot that the little girl was pulling.

Slaves who have survived to this point are naturally not stupid, rashly aiming at the lives of their opponents, and if they get out of the game, they may even have to put their own lives into it. The bald man did not look directly at the little girl, but from the very beginning set his sights on her chariot, which was not a good driver. The edges and corners of the chariot quickly jammed, although the bald man's side also suffered a lot of bumps, but the little girl's chariot was completely out of control, and Crazy Horse, who had been drugged, was in pain again, and even more brainlessly crashed towards the wall on the sidelines.

"Whoa, whoa!"

"She's going to fall!"

Under the undisguised ridicule of the audience, the helpless little girl was just dazed for a moment, and immediately pulled the reins as best she could, forced the crazy horse to pull around, and turned the direction of the chariot. By the time she flapped her horse again, however, the bald man had almost halfway down the round arena in his chariot.

The carriage did not break, the little girl did not fall, although these are already fortunate, but ......

"Her disadvantage is obvious. ”

Valkyrie, who had been staring at the gladiatorial arena, said, "It's too far behind, and the right to choose weapons now, and what should be done after that, is completely up to that man." ”

"So, what will he choose?"

Beidou asked nervously, "Sword or crossbow?"

"Both have their own usages. Valki replied expressionlessly, "If you choose the crossbow, you can drive the chariot to the outer ring after that, and use the circular field to gradually approach the opponent, or keep your distance." If you choose a two-handed sword, you can immediately cling to the inner ring and quickly overtake your opponent by passing a circle. In addition to the two-handed sword, it is no problem to resist the crossbow bead if the user is strong. The man was already leading for most of the lap, plus he was in good form and was close to his opponent by more than a lap...... Not a problem. No matter what he chooses, that little girl's disadvantage is already doomed to be irreparable. ”

With that, Valkyrie turned his head to Beidou: "I can probably guess what you're expecting, but ...... Unfortunately, what happens next will never be that possible. This is not a casino, but a place where miracles do not exist, gladiatorial battles. ”
