Chapter 278: The Female God of War
The kingdom of nightfall is divided into two worlds by darkness and light.
In the area occupied by the nobility and the church, the lights were bright, and the rest of the place was dark, and the occasional garrison with magic lamps walked by, and it quickly disappeared into the darkness.
Night is a time of rest for ordinary people, but for the princes and nobles in the kingdom, it is no different from daytime, after all, whether it is day or night, it is their time for pleasure.
The sudden Great Famine did not affect them at all, but rather it was just the right time for them to grow their fortune again.
Commoners who had lost food due to famine had to spend their life savings to buy food from their nobles if they wanted to survive.
If there is no savings, then valuable items, women, children can be given to them and exchanged for food.
On the whole, the emergence of the Great Famine only exacerbated the rate at which the nobles amassed wealth, and even if they had enough property, who would dislike having too much of their assets.
……
At night, most of the nobles were driving the silver party, after all, there were really not many entertainment items in the Middle Ages, and of course, there were some nobles doing other things.
For example, the gladiatorial arena, but this gladiatorial arena is not only about fighting between people, but also about humans and beasts, beasts, and so on.
The aristocrat Szmaker is a gladiatorial enthusiast, and his hobby is to watch his slaves being torn apart by those beasts, or the slaves fighting their best to finally kill the beasts.
Splatters of blood always make people's blood swell.
"Come on, bite him to death!"
In the stands, Szmek, dressed in gorgeous and extraordinary costumes, was shouting regardless of his image, but no matter how high-sounding he was, he could not hide his beastly behavior.
These aristocrats distinguish the difference between themselves and the commoners with extremely gorgeous clothing, and only this difference visible to the naked eye can satisfy their increasingly perverted psychology.
Under the stands, there is a gladiatorial arena like the Colosseum of ancient Rome, but the scale is not so large, only a few tens of meters in diameter.
In the gladiatorial arena, a middle-aged man with bronzed skin was engaged in a life-and-death wrestling battle with a xenomorph creature, the middle-aged man was about thirty years old, with knotted muscles all over his body, very strong and burly.
Across from him was a xenomorph creature, an otherworldly creature that appeared in this world with the "Great Calamity", not a native creature.
However, although it is a xenomorph creature, it is not invincible, after all, not all xenomorph creatures are as powerful as dragons.
Mighty dragons are also not toys that nobles can use for amusement.
The xenomorph creature resembled a lion, but it was covered in scales, but at this moment, all the scales were shattered, and it was covered in blood.
The middle-aged man on the other side was no better, the man had broken his left arm, and there was a hideous scratch on his back, and the wound was bleeding non-stop at the moment.
Both sides reached the end of the crossbow, and they both held their last breath and did not fall.
"Kill him! Give it to me. ”
Szmek twisted his expression and roared at the man and beast under the stands.
"If you don't move me again, I'll put both of you to death."
The xenomorph creature must not understand this, but the middle-aged man was shocked, obviously understood.
Looking at the xenomorph creature in front of him, who was already blind in one eye, the man adjusted his breathing and silently squeezed the last trace of strength in his body, although he didn't know magic, but after a few years of gladiatorial slave life, he had already turned how to squeeze strength and shield the pain into instinct.
Because of these instincts, he was able to survive the numerous gladiatorial slaves and live to this day.
The xenomorph creature on the other side also seemed to notice the man's desperate attempt, and immediately fell to the ground, a threatening gurgling sound in his throat.
Against the background of the nobles' various angry scolding and roaring, the man moved, and the huge size did not slow down his speed, and the xenomorph creature also roared, popping out its claws and tearing towards the man.
At this moment, the two sides bathed in blood and fighting seemed to be no different, they were both beasts, beasts who did everything for their lives.
The man who is torn apart with the xenomorph creature knows his own shortcomings, he has no defensive scales, sharp claws, and sharp teeth, so he can only be more ruthless than the xenocreat.
The man who ignored the defense and hugged the xenocrea, while he still had a trace of strength, suddenly opened his big mouth and bit the neck of the xenocreature, and then absorbed and swallowed the warm blood, replenishing the physical strength consumed.
The xenomorph creature struggled frantically, but as the man embraced him harder and harder, the struggle became less and less, and even the bones creaked.
Although the man only had one arm intact, it was clear that the xenomorph was in a worse state, unable to break free from even the one-arm embrace.
In the end, under the cheers of the nobles, the man bit the trachea of the xenomorph creature, suffocating it to death, and felt the moment the life of the prey in his arms dissipated, the man felt light.
Accompanied by the ringing in his ears was the cheers of the nobles, and the man knew that the night was over, and he was alive again.
But sometimes it backfires.
"Go on, a new round of gladiatorial fights begins!"
Listening to the voice of Szmek in the stands, the man raised his head blankly, why...... Do you want to continue?
Szmek, of course, would not explain, because he was afraid that a few days ago, the entire family of a nobleman in the kingdom had been killed.
Both the guards and the servants lay in pools of blood, and the nobleman even lost his head, leaving only a headless corpse.
The occurrence of this incident brought boundless fear to all the nobles, and they were afraid that they would be next, because until now the murderer had not been found, not even a clue.
Therefore, the nobles, and even the king, increased their guards, and used their own methods to dispel the fear in their hearts.
And Szmek's method is to watch the fight of life and death, the fight between the two sides, the unilateral slaughter is what he loves, watching the slaves fight for their lives, can make him forget everything in reality.
This reason, the man naturally will not know, he only knows, and there will be another death match next.
With Szmek's words, the guard standing at the entrance to the arena turned around and brought new slaves, but unlike before, this time they didn't bring gladiatorial slaves or xenomorphs.
It's a young girl, a blind girl.
"Hahaha, that's it, hurry up, one of you must die, otherwise you all have to die!"
The shrill voice of Szmek in the stands echoed in the arena, and the girl who heard the sound shook her body, but because she had lost the light, she could only sit on the ground.
The man glanced at the blind girl in disbelief, and then turned his head to look at Szmek in the stands, and at this moment, the hands that could fight the beast were trembling uncontrollably.
"Hey, do you want to die?!"
Finding that the man had no desire to do anything, Szmek casually picked up the half-eaten fruit next to him and smashed it at the man.
But he didn't have a good head, so he just smashed the fruit aside.
The man's gaze swept over the fruit, and then watched as the fruit was stained with sand and dust as it rolled, and finally lost its kinetic energy and completely stopped, as if it was a lifeless xenomorph creature next to it.
If you die, you don't have anything.
The thought came to mind, and the man looked at the girl, who didn't know what was going on, and walked over step by step.
Hearing the footsteps, the blind girl looked up in the direction of the footsteps, and although she couldn't see them, she could hear them.
The man looked at the girl numbly and condescendingly, squatted down silently, and then reached out to stroke the girl's neck, as long as he used force, the girl would die instantly, and he would be able to survive.
The girl probably already knew what was going to happen next, and she couldn't help but start sobbing quietly.
Are you scared? Or are you grieving yourself?
The man didn't know, he just had bulging muscles in his arms, and if he was fast enough, the girl would be able to lose her life as quickly as possible without suffering the pain before death.
Maybe...... It's better to die, at least not to live in this rotten world.
At the moment when the man took a deep breath and was about to crush the girl's neck, a bang suddenly sounded from the top of the gladiatorial arena, and the violent sound made the man's breath directly discharge, and his whole body was loosened, and his arms were unconsciously weak.
Then the roof of the gladiatorial arena fell to the center of the arena with a clatter, and there were two figures mixed in it.
"Who!"
Szmek looked angrily at the center of the gladiatorial arena, his gladiatorial arena was built under the house, and he couldn't come here without a passageway.
But someone actually directly smashed the top of his gladiatorial arena, which means that the floor of his house was also shattered, and he simply didn't know whether he was alive or dead.
Accompanied by the roar and dust mist, two vague figures appeared, and two small floating objects could be faintly seen next to the figures.
"Tsk, a disgusting scene, the guy who has a hobby of watching his kind kill each other actually looks exactly like a human adult, it's just blasphemy."
One of the long-haired figures glanced around, and his voice was a little cold.
"After all, not all humanoid creatures are human adults, but the adults have said that those who have power can be killed, and the nobles who have no strength are mainly captives."
The short-haired figure on the side responded to the situation, and at the same time, he cut through the dust and fog with a knife, and the figure also appeared.
It was two white-haired girls in short black skirts, wearing black blindfolds that covered the upper half of their faces, holding huge black sabers in their hands, and strange little things with square heads floating next to them.
At this moment, two young girls were stepping through the ruins with their black over-the-knee boots with heels, scanning the gladiatorial arena.
"Who are you, do you know who I am? Dare to invade my territory, I am ......! ”
Looking at the two girls who completely ignored him, Szmek was furious and yelled directly at the white-haired girls.
But in the face of his threat, the long-haired girl frowned.
"It's noisy!"
At the same time as the crisp sound sounded, a pale yellow knife light was also cut out by the girl.
"Your Excellency!"
When the guard next to Szmek saw the attack, his face changed, and he actually blocked Szmek directly with his body, but he obviously overestimated himself.
Puff~
The sword light cut through the guard's body without the slightest hindrance, and the sparse internal organs instantly flowed to the ground, and the brains and internal organs were mixed together, which looked very colorful.
After cutting through the guard, the sword light cut through the body of Szmek in the rear without the slightest hindrance, plowing a ravine more than ten meters long on the ground behind him, and spreading to the depths of the ground before gradually disappearing.
And Szmek, who was still roaring just now, was clutching his blood-spurting shoulders with a painful expression, and his whole face was distorted like a pug.
"Ahhh My hand!!! ”
"Hmph, if it weren't for the adult's request to capture the captives alive, you would have died."
The long-haired girl raised her knife and pointed it at Szmek, who was still screaming, with a haughty expression and a slight head raised.
Obviously, according to the position, it was Szmek who looked down at the girl, and the girl looked up at each other, but for some reason, to the other people on the scene, it was more like the girl proudly looking down on the nobleman they regarded as fear.
It turns out that the brutal and bloody guy will also show such an ugly expression.
The man who had lost his strength looked at the screaming Szmek and thought silently in his heart.
The next moment, the stunned guards were able to react.
Looking at the injured and screaming Szmek, they felt a horror in their hearts, if they didn't protect their masters, they would be held accountable afterwards.
Now we can only catch the attackers and make meritorious contributions, hoping that the master can let them go afterwards!
"Come on, there are only two of them, we can definitely take them down together, and we have a magician here, we can definitely win!"
"Up! Get them!! ”
"Master Magician, it's up to you!"
The guards gathered around roared, armed with weapons and shields, and attacked the two girls, mixed with several magicians who were clearly different from the guards.
They were hired by Szmek, and now Szmek was wounded in front of them, and if the attackers were not taken, then I am afraid that no one would hire them.
Magicians are also short of money, after all, research is equal to burning money, and sometimes research is even faster than burning money directly.
"You did it first, we're just fighting back in self-defense."
The short-haired girl spoke before aiming her weapons at the attacking guards.
Next, the two white-haired girls completely showed in front of the others what a god of heaven is and what a female god of war is.
Each knife can take the lives of at least several guards, and the well-armed ones can't even get close to the corpses of the body.
The small floater next to them is even more powerful, exploding in one spot with each light up, or firing a continuous stream of golden energy orbs.
These spherical golden orbs of magic could not be stopped even by those magicians.
The magician, who is regarded as an absolute power, has no power to resist in front of the two small floating objects, and he can't even escape.
Not even a minute had passed, and the mighty escorts and the magicians who had arrived all fell under the swords of the two maidens, some of them died, and some of them lost the strength to fight again.
After dealing with the rebels, the long-haired girl jumped and fell in front of Szmek, who was crawling and fleeing.
"Auxiliary, heal him, and carve a tracking mark by the way." The long-haired girl stabbed herself on the floor in front of Szmek and said coldly.
"Roger."
The square-headed assist machine answered, and the little head opened from it, and then a ray of light fell on the severed arm of Szmek, and in an instant, the wound scabbed over and the blood flow stopped.
Then a barcode was engraved on Szmek's wound, as if it had been imprinted.
