For a few days, although the soldiers of the Prud Guard, led by Prince Hoth, had almost turned the imperial capital upside down, they could not find the slightest information about the Assassins.

In the royal court, Peter III once again lost his temper over this incident, of course, he did not blame his brother Hoss, but the officers of the Guards Regiment and those in charge of patrolling the city were all scolded.

"It's okay Hoss, don't fight with these wastes anymore, after I reward my warrior Hank, let him assist you, he is a warrior with a master-level fighting spirit, how to put it, isn't the master-level a little lower than the hero-level, that is to say, Hank is the number one master under me except for the Sword of Honor and the Axe of the God of War, and there is no need to be afraid of those assassins at all, haha. ”

This was what Peter III had said to him when Hoss had privately approached him after the council and wanted to take responsibility for his unfavorable search for the Assassins.

Well, Hoss actually wants to complain about his unlearned and unskilled royal brother, not to mention how big the real gap is between the master level and the hero level, although they are only one level apart...... Brother Wang, your warrior Hank has just been promoted to the master level, okay, even if it is a relatively weak existence among the same master-level powerhouses, how did this number one master other than the Sword of Honor and the Axe of the God of War calculated?

However, Huo Si also knew that for his brother Wang, who only likes to eat, drink and have fun, but has no interest in government affairs and cultivation, and his personal strength has always been stable at the medium fighting spirit, the master level and the hero level are probably actually about the same, anyway, they can easily eliminate his existence in seconds. Trying to fool Peter III on this will not be much more difficult than abducting the ignorant little Lori with a lollipop on the street.

As for the duel between the so-called warrior Hank and the newcomer to the arena, it is a farce anyway, so let Peter III mess around, although the Prime Minister Butler is here to make Hoss a little puzzled, but maybe the Prime Minister just wants to divert the attention of Peter III, this really unwise emperor is in the name of searching for assassins to plague the civilians of the empire.

So, on the fourth day after the street assassination, Prince Hoss, who had been making no progress, received a message from the palace early in the morning: All the royal relatives and ministers in the imperial capital will go to the arena this afternoon, and I will let the bravery and honor of my warrior Hank be witnessed by everyone.

All the royal relatives and ministers, Brother Wang, aren't you afraid that your warrior from the palace guard will be scared directly after knowing that he is being watched by this group of high-ranking lords?

With this in mind, Hoss went to his study, intending to deal with the affairs at hand as much as possible before the afternoon.

In fact, Prince Hoss's concerns are not unfounded.

In the afternoon, Prince Hoth came to the arena and happened to see Peter III's chariot, Peter III was stepping out of the carriage under the escort of the Axe of the God of War, and next to the carriage, Hank, the former captain of the Guards and now a quasi-imperial warrior, was standing there with a look on his face, and his expression did not look like he was looking forward to the next duel.

Although it is somewhat unlikely that a gladiator with no background will reach the master's level of fighting spirit, there are exceptions to everything, and once this Hank really loses to the challenger King Kong in the next duel, then the fun will be great.

After all, it was His Majesty the Emperor who came in person, and the managers of the Arena should not have the courage to refute the emperor's face, although the challenger called King Kong Huo Si had not seen it, but he thought that he was just a guy who deliberately wanted to make money by taking advantage of the situation, and he should also have a little more eyes.

"Oh, Hoss, you're here too, just right. ”

When Peter III saw Hoss, he greeted him with great interest, and Hoss was also smiling and waiting at the VIP entrance of the arena, waiting for Peter III and his party.

"Look at the fact that so many people have come to admire the bravery of my warriors. ”

Peter III waved his hand and showed Hoss the general entrance, which was some distance from the VIP entrance, where a large number of civilians were bustling, but rarely there was no noise but a quiet line, probably frightened by the emperor's travel formation and the large number of palace guards and troops.

This is the first time that Peter III has traveled since the assassination, although I don't think that these assassins will be arrogant enough to assassinate Peter III twice in a row, but there are too many enclosed spaces in the arena, and the guests can be said to be a mixed number, so Hoss spared no effort in arranging Peter III's escort force this time.

"Haha, they'll be shocked to see the bravery of my warriors. ”

Peter III was very happy, as if he was about to go on stage and show his might, and even got a little carried away and directly reached out to pat Hank who was following behind, as if he wanted to cheer up the other party, but it turned out to make Hank so frightened that he almost knelt on the ground.

Hoss actually understands Peter III very well, and his head is not bright, but Peter III is still very clear that he is not outstanding in terms of ability, because of this, this time an unknown person under his own hands suddenly appeared to raise his face, for Peter III, who is nominally the emperor but always lives under the help of his prime minister and the prince's younger brother, it is the first time that he has solved the problem of safety by himself in the case of the negligence of the prime minister and Prince Hoss, which is why Peter III has a special appreciation for Hank。

Seeing Peter III walk in front of the trembling Hank into the arena, Hoss and the Axe of War glanced at each other, smiled bitterly at each other, and followed.

The largest VIP room in the arena was reserved for Peter III, who originally wanted Hoss to accompany him, but Hoss refused with a smile.

Blood and women are the things that can provoke men's blood the most, like this kind of big arena will generally cooperate with some slave chambers of commerce, for those who charter the VIP viewing room to provide some beautiful slave girls to cheer up when watching the duel, and today Peter III brought almost all the upper echelons of the empire to the arena, how could the arena managers and those slave chambers of commerce miss this opportunity to be able to directly reach the peak of imperial power.

According to Peter III's temperament, it is estimated that soon the top female slaves selected from the major slave chambers of commerce will be sent to that private room and then he will laugh at it, although Hoss is also very interested in beautiful women, but he is at least restrained at the bottom of the moral level, in this case, Hoss thinks that he can't do that kind of thing and is even more reluctant to watch others do that kind of thing, even if it is his brother Peter III.

Once Peter III had settled in the largest private room, Hoss gave the Axe of War, who was in charge of Peter III's guards, a color and called him out into the corridor outside.

"Well, there is no room for mistakes in the security work this time. ”

Hoth said solemnly to the Axe of War, which smiled and patted his broad pecs.

"Don't worry, Your Royal Highness the Prince, this time I and my eldest brother The Sword of Honor are both here, His Majesty the Emperor is in charge of me, and my eldest brother's Sword of Honor is responsible for the protection of the Prime Minister on the other side, if those assassins dare to come, I and my eldest brother promise to make them regret it." ”

Hoth nodded, he was still relieved of the force of the Axe of War and the Sword of Honor.

"However, Your Royal Highness, you really don't stay with Your Majesty, even if your private room is very close, it will take some time for me to rush over if something happens......"

"No need, I have my own guards on my side, and although they are not as good as you two, I can still delay it in a hurry. ”

As he spoke, Hoss was about to send the Axe of War back to the private room to protect Peter III, when suddenly the Axe of War was stunned for a moment, and turned to look behind him.

At the end of the corridor, a middle-aged mercenary who did not look amazing slowly walked up the stairs, looked around for a while, and then saw the axe of the god of war and Hoth here, and walked over without hesitation.

Arena managers?

Hoth and the God of War Axe glanced at each other and immediately denied this speculation, the other party's outfit was obviously a mercenary's dress, who was it?

The axe of the god of war blocked Hoss behind him, and waved his hand at several palace guards at the door of the private room, and immediately two guards ran forward and stopped the middle-aged man.

"Stop, what are you doing!"

The middle-aged man seemed to be taken aback, showed a somewhat embarrassed expression, took a few steps back to show that he had no malicious intent, and then looked at the axe of the god of war.

"Uh, sorry, I didn't mean to offend...... Excuse me, are you Your Excellency the Axe of the God of War?"

The Axe of the God of War and Hoth glanced at each other, and the Axe of the God of War took a step forward, frowning and looking at the middle-aged man in front of him.

"That's right, I am, who are you, what are you looking for?"

A glimmer of light flashed in the middle-aged mercenary's eyes, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"It is an honor to hear the prestige of His Excellency the Axe of the God of War for a long time. ”

"Don't talk about those who don't," the Axe of War bowed impatiently, "You should know who is here today, and if you don't convince me of your intentions, I'll arrest you as an assassin right now." ”

The middle-aged man showed a hint of panic, but Hoss frowned at it, he always felt that this middle-aged man's expression seemed to be a little contrived.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not an assassin, I just want to meet the legendary God of War Axe," said the middle-aged man, regaining his composure, his eyes blazing at the God of War Axe, "Then, I want to challenge you, Your Excellency the God of War Axe." ”
