Happy hours are always short-lived. In the blink of an eye, a month has passed. Luden's long-prepared Shenbang National Games was also held as scheduled.

Under the continuous headline bombardment of the Lucky Newspaper, the entire Shenbang is discussing this matter. Streets and alleys, streets and alleys, as long as there are people, the 'new' thing of the sports meeting is the hottest topic.

It seems that if you don't talk about this topic, you can't keep up with the times and are not fashionable enough. Targeting different target groups, Luden launched different propaganda campaigns.

For the poor at the bottom, Ludon publicizes, this is a good opportunity to turn over! The champion of a single event will receive a reward of 10,000 meters!

The second place is 2000 meters, and the third place is 500 meters! At the same time, Ludon and the Palace of Greed teamed up to develop the Shenbang Sports Lottery.

Bet on the favourites and win a big prize if they win the championship! There are many ways to play the lottery, which is dazzling.

The only thing that is certain is that as long as 1 meter so, you have a chance to win tens of thousands of prizes! These two items alone are enough for the vast majority of the poor to go crazy.

For the commoners and the citizens of the Divine State, Luden advertised that the Games would be interspersed with gladiator performances and opera performances.

Gratis! Buying a ticket for the Games is equivalent to [Watching the Games] + [Gladiator Performance] + [Opera Performance] + [Chariot Performance]!

Luden has even developed a package ticket with a unit price of 88 meters and a limited edition of 10,000 copies. These packages are selling well.

It was sold out as soon as it was listed. In the state of God, there are still a lot of invisible rich people! To the Saints family, Luton promised that the Saints family could bid for the naming rights of the medals.

After several auctions, the Eugene family bought the medal naming rights of [The Strongest Gladiator] for 180,000 meters, which is also the most expensive of the naming rights, valid for four terms.

For the Divine State, gladiators are the most popular and sought after existence. At the price of 150,000 meters, the Jager family packaged the medal naming rights for the 100-meter, 200-meter sprint, 400-meter, 800-meter, and 1,500-meter long-distance run.

The Yin Sha family won the naming rights of the javelin, discus throw, and shot put, spending 50,000 meters. Other Saint Descendant families have also bought some naming rights to some extent.

The cheapest naming rights were sold for 5,000 meters, and the most expensive was 180,000. Before the whole sports meeting began, Ludon had earned millions of meters from the Saint Family and the citizens of the Divine State.

Of course, the money is credited to the palace of greed. Justice Gurred was also very arrogant, directly adding the money to the budget of the Games, and promised that the income earned during the National Games could be added to the budget.

If the budget is not spent, the tribune can submit a new budget plan, which can be used as long as it can be approved by the Chancellor and the Senate.

As for the exclusive coverage of the Games (four times), it was bought out by Lucky Newspaper for 150,000 meters.

The other newspapers all think that Lucky Newspaper is crazy! That's 150,000 meters! Even if all the citizen families of Shenbang have a newspaper in their hands, it is impossible for the lucky newspaper to return to its original capital!

For Ludon, in the short term, this deal is definitely a loss. It's value investing! With the development of Shenbang, the influence of the Shenbang National Games will become greater and greater, and the right to exclusive reporting will become more and more valuable!

… Ludon plans to hold a sports meeting every four years, and the exclusive right to report after 12 years is definitely worth far more than 150,000 meters.

This truth is also understood by other newspapers, everyone is a smart person, and of course they can see the value of the future.

It's just that... They ran out of money. For the Holy Family, the newspaper is just a novelty, try it.

If you lose too much, it is better to withdraw your capital and stop your losses in time. Today's newspapers are difficult to make a profit, and most of the Saint Descendant families are retreating, even if the Saint Descendant families who insist on it, they can't spend a lot of money to fight for a future.

There is no such courage. After all, they don't know whether there will be a National Games in 16 years, and whether their newspaper will still exist.

After the funds were secured, the scale of the Games far exceeded expectations. At the opening ceremony alone, Luden invited 44 gladiators to fight!

Lutdon did not like this cruelty, nor did he have a clear dislike for it. It's just that people in this era love to watch it, and it is legal to hold gladiator fights, so Lutdon did so in accordance with public opinion.

On the opening day, the Colosseum was filled with spectators, and it was even more lively than the National Assembly! People don't necessarily like to vote, but they do love to watch the excitement.

Amid the earth-shattering cheers, forty-four gladiators entered one after another, they were tall, short, fat and thin, and their bodies were different.

Some were armed with spears, others with short swords with round shields, and some with a great axe on their backs. Instead of immediately starting to fight, they spread out and showed their muscles to the entire Colosseum.

The bronzed skin was exposed to the air, the hormones began to stir, and before the gladiatorial fight began, the audience's emotions were ignited, roaring like beasts, waving their fists.

When the gladiators stepped onto the fine sand arena, everyone leaned down and kissed the arena lightly, begging for the protection of the saint.

In this battle, only one person can survive. Ludden, who was sitting in the stands, yawned. On his left sat Elder Knight, and on his right hand was Legion Commander Pong.

The three of them sat in the first row of the stands, but the surroundings were empty, except for Awu squatting in the corner, looking at everything around him with his eyes.

No one approached the three of them, and there were elite guards guarding them farther away, murderous. Senators, tribunes, generals.

These three are the three people with the highest status and the most powerful power in the Divine State. Any mistake on their part would be a loss that the Divine State could not bear.

In the upper class society of the Divine State, they did not dare to call these three people by their names, for fear of any offense. As we all know, Ponga is extremely proud, Ludon has a small heart, and Al is the only saint with the name of 'saint'.

Any offense against the three of them will lead to a terrible disaster. Therefore, these three people are also known as the Big Three.

The Big Three apparently did not have much interest in the gladiators' performances. Ludon said helplessly,

"I don't think Awu's age is suitable for watching this." Al didn't say anything, but Ponge was dismissive of it,

"When lions hunt, they call their children." Luden is very rigorous,

"The lions are all lionesses hunting." Ponge: ...... Regardless, Ponger insisted on taking Awu with him.

… Although the reason he gave was ridiculous: 'We need a slave to serve, but adult slaves are too dangerous for Ludon.'

In fact, after a month of training, the instructor with the iron mask admired Awu very much. In addition to his daily physical training, he even began to assign other tasks to Awu.

He was asked to learn the art of war, understand the operation of the legion, and be familiar with the combination of arms... In this regard, Ludon has a tacit attitude.

In this era, there will be no war, and it is simply impossible to hold real power. Even Ludon has to choose Ponge as his ally, because a big fist is the hardest truth.

It is precisely for this reason that, in the eyes of the upper class of the Divine State, the Big Three are interest groups headed by Pong.

Even the appearance of the Big Three was intended to help Pang Ge fight against the Senate and strive for more benefits.

For these rumors, Lu Deng and others didn't care about it. They just need to do their own thing, and time will tell.

For Awu, the gladiator's performance was indeed a bit bloody. Of the forty-four gladiators, only one survived in the end.

More than half of the people who participated in this battle were slaves, and the remaining half were people who made a living from it.

The winner will receive the title of "The Strongest Gladiator" in this National Games. The gladiatorial battle of forty-four people can also rank among the top three in the history of the Divine State.

Each person who plays can be paid 2,000 meters. The final winner, if it is a slave, can directly break away from slavery and obtain the status of a citizen of the Divine State, as well as a prize of 10,000 meters.

If you are a commoner of the Divine State, you can get citizenship! Citizens of the Divine State... No kidding, no citizen of the Kingdom of God will be a gladiator.

The winner deserves the title of the strongest. Originally, Ponger was going to participate in this gladiatorial fight.

Ludon's repeated dissuasion made Ponger's dissuasion from this idea. On the one hand, it is because a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall.

Participating in gladiatorial competitions with real knives, in case he really killed Ponger, for Ludon, the gains outweighed the losses.

Luden, on the other hand, repeatedly admonished Pong. The title of "Fastest Runner" is more important than "Strongest Gladiator"!

Ponge should focus on the race. Luden's reasoning is also very simple: in a thousand or two thousand years, people will definitely abandon the bloody and cruel sport of gladiatorial fighting.

Running is the true king of sports. Ponge did not end up in this gladiatorial fight. The gladiatorial fight was more bloody than imagined, and some guys with weak psychological endurance even vomited on the spot.

More people, however, were cheering, roaring, and roaring. They felt that this gladiatorial fight alone was worth the ticket price!

Every time a gladiator was killed, cheers burst into the sky! Death became a feast, and every spectator carried their sins.

This is the state of God. Savage, prosperous, great God. A slave gladiator armed with a short spear, who survived to the end.

He kills the red eye and tries to attack all creatures that come near him. He was presented with the award by Pang Jager from the Jager family.

Ponger picked up a shield and strode forward, parrying the opponent's attack with his hand and easily pinning the champion to the ground.

Well, a special award ceremony. It's very pong. Obviously, Pang Ge still has some resentment about not being able to participate in gladiator competitions.

He forced the [Strongest Gladiator] and casually hung the medal around the opponent's neck to announce the birth of the first champion.

The champion, who regained his senses, gave up the struggle, tears falling into the dirt and mixing with blood.

It is not known if he cried for the rest of his life after the catastrophe or for his dead companions. Ponger spoke a few words to him, and without giving the man a chance to answer, he turned and left.

Back in the stands, Pang Ge shouted at Awu in the corner,

"I've got you a new gladiatorial teacher." Ah Wu was stunned, he didn't expect that eating melons would eat on himself.

"What's your gladiatorial teacher's name?" Ponger struggled to recall the previous name,

"Oh, yes, Spartacus.".
