Chapter 227: Enemies of the Empire

The lord used his left hand to kill several gladiators around him, and turned his head just in time to see Wendy swinging a stunning sword in the air upside down.

This kind of fancy gymnastics-like action turned out to be a killing technique?

Leon suddenly gained a new understanding of women's gymnastics...... Sure enough, every movement was originally associated with war.

Wendy's dexterous body style, of course, Li Ang is quite envious, but this kind of gymnastics movement can not be learned by ordinary people, it not only requires talent, but also has to be cultivated from an early age.

In fact, Leon was more envious of Castro's strength - the gladiator didn't sacrifice agility for the sake of strength, moved surprisingly fast, and didn't seem to have a problem with his brain.

In fact, Li Ang's martial arts are already considered top among human beings, and it is difficult to find an opponent in a one-on-one situation, even a master like Roland or Jocelyn is not an opponent of the lord when he fights alone.

For the vast majority of people, with a skill like Li Ang, there is a high probability that they can already walk safely on this continent.

Like Sir Roland, who has been hunted down by the Knights of the Dawn for several years, from Barkley to Pander, but he is still alive and well, and he can do good along the way.

But I don't know why, it's probably because the lords have different physiques - Leon can always encounter those inhuman monsters......

Like Alaric the Louder, like the Three Prophets, like this Castro who just fell.

Perhaps, Ardalian and Vendatier will have to be added......

Each of these people possesses terrifying powers.

Leon didn't know his own power attributes, and his system couldn't see his own strength, and he couldn't add points to his base attributes.

But he can roughly assess that he should generally belong to a relatively high level among humans, comparable to most of the great swordsmen of Mettenheim, and slightly inferior to a talented macho man like Klose.

After all, he had now increased his Iron Bone and Powerful Attack to level 8, but he couldn't improve it any more.

Judging by this, if it is in a horse riding and slashing game, Leon's strength attribute is probably between 24 and 26 - skills such as strong attack and iron bone in the game have requirements for basic strength attributes, and every 3 strength points correspond to skills such as iron bone strong attack, of course, there must be enough available skill points.

In fact, this is already considered a very large strength, and the limit of human strength is about 33.

However, these enemies that Li Ang encountered were estimated to have a strength attribute of more than fifty, which was twice that of Li Ang - it was basically impossible to reach this level by training alone.

The three prophets are even more excessive, they can repel the charging horses in a stationary state, and they can kick Klose, who is more than 200 catties, several meters away, and their strength is probably more than 100......

Not to mention the Noldor Elves and the Three Prophets, they are not ordinary people, they have a little magic power, and it is understandable that they exceed the limits of human beings.

Alaric is a drug, and although he has obtained the power to surpass the limits of human beings, he is also forced to get a amount of alcohol that exceeds the limits of human beings, and he is already half crazy......

But this Castro is obviously mentally normal, and it doesn't look like he has also taken drugs, but why can he have such strength?

Although I can defeat these opponents with outside help every time, it seems too often to meet so many terrible guys in a year. ….

The lord now has a deep sense of crisis, and there is not much insurance in the military array, there are too many demons and monsters in the Pande Continent.

After Castro's body collapsed, the brief battle came to an end.

The other gladiators did not have the strength and skill of Castro, and after paying for a dozen corpses, the remaining gladiators surrendered to save their lives.

"Brutus, what's going on with this Castro?"

Alina stepped forward and asked.

"He is the champion of the gladiatorial arena in Siyuan City, and he is the strongest of the gladiators who are currently alive...... I don't really know if his name is Castro or not, he's been to five gladiator training camps and changed his name five times......

Brutus struggled to his feet

"He intended to make us independent warlords, but I always disagreed, so the other day he used a gladiator way to make everyone else obey him......

"The gladiator's way? Do you mean jousting?"

Leon looked at Bruttu's injuries, which did not look like torture, but were inflicted with heavy punches with his bare hands, not fatal, but probably broken a few ribs.

"Yes...... If you want the gladiators to obey, you can only use the way of the gladiators, and the one who wins the battle has the final say. But I'm no match for him......

"It's good that you chose to compete empty-handed...... It's good to compete with this kind of strange person, and it's good to survive. How could he have such power?"

Leon wondered where Castro's power came from.

"According to his own account, he was made like this by some snake worshippers, but no one knows exactly what happened...... Are you a subordinate of General Creon? I haven't seen you......

Brutus saw Creon cleaning up the battlefield with the Plague Raiders, and it was clear that he didn't know Leon.

"My name is Leon, maybe you've heard my name, it's probably not a good reputation......

Lord Lords gestured to Jocelyn, who was still circling around the battlefield to drive out the remnants of the army, the blackened steel fortress still holding the griffin banner.

"You're the devil lord of the Lion Kingdom! Yes...... Sorry, but it doesn't seem to be exaggerated, but your minions do look like demons, and they do be three meters tall...... That guy doesn't eat children, does he?"

Brutus looked at Jocelyn's current appearance, and then easily understood Leon's reputation that had been deliberately spread by Emperor Marius......

"Ahem...... That's a rumor! Forget it, it doesn't matter...... What did you say Castro was made of by the Serpents?"

The lord didn't want to explain that Jocelyn's current appearance was indeed the appearance of the legendary devil.

Leon was more concerned about what the heretics had done.

"Just look at him, his chest, where the armor is obscured......

Brutus didn't bother much about this devil lord, after all, he was a military attache of the Immortal Legion, and he was used to seeing generals who were rumored to be demons and monsters, and he could understand that such a deterrent image on the battlefield could make enemies fearful.

In fact, the Shadow Legion of the Bacchus Empire was once known as the Demon Legion.

Leon walked over to Castro, whose neck was still bleeding, and used his sword to break the cable tie of his half-body armor. ….

When the tight-fitting iron armor was removed, everyone present gasped except for Brutus.

Castro's chest had two huge wounds, one horizontal and one vertical, that ran through the entire chest and abdomen, which had obviously been cut open and re-stitched, and the seams were dense and the whole body looked extremely terrifying.

In these years, after disemboweling a person, he can still stitch up the wound and survive, this is probably the ceiling of surgical skills in the Pande Continent, and even the doctors of the Radiant Cross Knights probably don't have this ability!

"He's been cut open?"

Leon turned to Brutus and asked.

"He said he watched as the serpent priests cut open his body and then sacrificed him to Aziz Dahaka, and it is said that he saw all his entrails with his own eyes...... But he wasn't dead until the end of the sacrifice, so those snake worshippers put his skin together and poured a lot of unknown potions into his wounds. In the end he survived, but the serpents said he was a sacrifice of failure......

Brutus seemed impressed by these words: "He became a slave, supposedly because an imperial nobleman threatened the lives of his entire family and forced him to become a cash cow for that nobleman, but in fact...... After we got out of Siyuan City, we found out that his entire family had long since died."

"It seems that there are quite a few nobles who have been corrupted by the Serpent Cult. But what are the serpent priests studying? Castro is such a failure...... What would it look like if it succeeded?"

"If you succeed, you will probably be devoured by Azi Dahaka's soul and flesh and controlled forever...... But this man gained strength, but he did not lose it

Souls, which cannot be controlled by the Serpent Cult...... That's why he was a failure......

General Creon said.

"Probably the success and failure in the eyes of the Serpent Cult is indeed like this. But this method seems to be a very clever medical skill......

Leon frowned, "Why do these evil gods devour souls and flesh? So did Ereda, the goddess of darkness, as did Azi Dahaka...... Miss Alina, I've heard that you've studied a lot of literature, do you know why?"

"Neither Ereda nor Azi Dahaka are gods, the so-called goddess of darkness does not even have a real body, and the serpent Azi Dahaka is more like some kind of monster that has been created...... Maybe they're just demons summoned from the abyss, and they've just been given the title of evil gods."

Alina seems to have studied, "Maybe people's worship and sacrifice will make these demons more magical, anyway...... When the power is strong enough, anyone can be a god."

"That's right...... Okay, it seems that this way of gaining power is not reliable...... Let's think about how to pacify this force, Brutus, and can you still command them?"

The battlefield had gradually calmed down, and the lord shook his head and got down to business.

The power obtained by relying on these ghosts and gods is obviously not very reliable, and the lord will not be entangled, since his personal ability cannot be effectively improved for the time being, then take good care of the army and change his style.

In view of the fact that he often encountered such monsters of incredible strength, the lord felt that he would no longer rush to the front in future battles, and it would be easier to protect himself by commanding in the center of the army. ….

Now that the identity is different, the way of behaving should indeed change.

A commander in command of thousands of troops shouldn't have been in the front row in the first place - unless his power has skyrocketed enough to easily take out all his opponents, then he can try to be a peerless general......

"I can't command them anymore, I'm already a loser...... All the troops were commanded separately by the gladiators, but the gladiators could not tolerate the losers in their eyes. And ......"

Brutus shook his head and looked at Alina next to him: "Miss Alina, now they don't believe in Governor Justus anymore, I'm afraid they won't even believe in Your Majesty...... They have already fought two terrible wars against the First Legion of the Empire......

This was obviously an open-minded and loyal military attaché, who did not seem to have any attachment to the control of the army, and was always thinking about Emperor Marius's explanation.

"It's because they don't believe in the Bacchus Empire anymore that I'm here. Brutus, help me ask, are they willing to follow the worst enemy of the Bacchus Empire? I think they've heard of the Devil Lord's name......

The lord said.

Leon's reputation in the territory of Bacchus is indeed very loud, and the deliberate promotion of Emperor Marius and Justus before has indeed convinced most of the Bacchus people that Leon is the most terrible lord of the Lion Kingdom.

Maybe this is true now, but it is estimated that Emperor Marius did not expect that his killing would come true so soon......

These gladiators have killed many Imperial nobles and killed so many soldiers of the First Legion of the Empire, it is indeed impossible for them to be recruited by the Bacchus Empire again.

And they won't join the rebels - Sheila Youzas's rebels are already at odds with the rebels, and even that Castro is only intending to be an independent warlord and has no idea of defecting to the rebels.

At the moment, the lord is the great enemy that the empire has been propagating, and of course his best refuge.

"I see...... But, Lord Leon, if you want those gladiators to truly obey you, you have to outdo them in a fair confrontation – they only worship the winner, and status has no meaning to them."

Brutus seemed to be very clever indeed, and when he heard Leon call himself an enemy of the Bacchus Empire, he immediately understood the lord's intentions.

"In that case...... Then you just have to win the best one, right?"

Leon looked at the gladiators who were still gathered after surrendering in front: "There won't be any more fierce men like Castro, right?"

The lord was still very sorry for his life, he knew that he probably couldn't get Castro, and Wendy was able to kill him with a single sword because Castro was under siege by the guards before.

"Castro is a special case...... Ahem, you can get the name of the Devil Lord, you must be a good skill. But I still want to advise you that it might be safer for your men to do it...... Each of them has been a champion in the gladiatorial arenas of other cities."

Brutus kindly reminded the lord.

The Siyuan City Gladiatorial Arena was originally the stage for gladiators at the highest level, and each gladiator training camp could only enter the competition after winning the championship elsewhere.

It's the club championship of this era.

Leon looked at his men......

After looking around, I found that I could only go on it by myself.

Since both Leon and Amy have left Castle Whitedeau, Vendatier does not follow, she must stay in Castle Whitedeer to avoid conflict between Noldor and humans, and she is the only one who can dissuade Aldaryan.

Lisa Dilan's one-on-one heads-up may not be Li Ang's opponent, this guy has a little sequelae when he is a killer too much, and he doesn't like to fight hard with others......

Jocelyn couldn't beat Leon, he had tried it before in training.

As for Wendy...... You can't let Wentilve go head-to-head with a bare-chested hunk, right?

Now it seems that the most suitable person in the current team to come forward to go head-to-head seems to be the lord himself......

And it's better to subdue people yourself than to let your subordinates control them, after all, you don't have to command from a layer apart.

"Come on, champions, which of you is the best? Come out and go head-to-head with me! I've won the tournament at the Fields Miles National Arena!"

The moon is shining on the twelfth floor
