Chapter 68: Pride and Prejudice
Of course, Hank was angry with Captain Cao again, not only did he not recoup his losses because of that damn big back, but that damn big back was still alive and well. Whether it is strength or luck, Captain Cao has indeed won the chance to live again. All Hank can do is prepare for the third gladiatorial fight as soon as possible. If there's any good news, it's that after the Survivor Games, all of Montana is flooded with rumors about the fight.
Some people think that Captain Cao is a fluke, and some people think that he is a miracle person, anyway, among all kinds of rumors, the leader of this plundering regiment has a certain legend. This is indeed a good thing for Hank, who has a good sense of business, he doesn't care whether Captain Cao is legendary or controversial, it doesn't matter, he knows that as long as more and more people are interested in Captain Cao, then it means that the tickets to the Arena of Fever can continue to go all the way. After thinking about these truths, Hank was really not in a hurry at all, he felt that maybe the damned Captain Cao still had a certain commercial value before he died.
The Fever Arena has been established for hundreds of years, and Captain Cao is definitely not the first to make a name for himself on this battlefield, and there are already many legends before him. In the underground plaza of the Fever Arena, there are still countless statues and monuments, each of which represents a superstar who once shined in the Fever Arena. When Hank saw the star-studded statues, he finally knew what to do in the third gladiatorial fight. Treat Commander Cao with the mentality of a gladiator? Then his opponent should also be a real gladiator! Hank suddenly woke up, and in an instant, he already had a perfect candidate. Then find a real living legend in the gladiatorial arena as his opponent, which can also ensure that Captain Cao does not continue to follow his damn **** luck.
Just ten years ago, Arena of Fever gave birth to a legend. Even now, legends about him are still circulating in the kingdom of Sacramento, where gladiatorial battles prevailed. Ironically, no one knows what his real name is, and all he knows is the nickname he once had when he was in the arena of fever. He is known for his solid gladiatorial skills and excellent fighting instincts, as a slave, after entering the arena of fever, he won more than 100 consecutive victories from beginning to end, each more difficult than the other, he was extremely strong to survive, winning the entire Sacramento kingdom. Even gladiatorial enthusiasts from other countries will come from far and wide to see him as soon as they hear his name. He was a pure gladiatorial arena warrior, a tough gladiatorial ruler, and a winner.
In the end, he conquered all the audience with his impressive record, and the audience was so excited that countless gladiatorial enthusiasts asked for his pardon. His Majesty Cousins, who was in power, readily agreed, and His Majesty Cousins felt that the spirit of this warrior was worth emulating, and pardoning him would also have a certain effect on the martial spirit of the Sacramento Kingdom. Hank also staged a retirement ceremony for him, transforming him from a slave gladiator into a legal commoner in the kingdom of Sacramento.
Like Donk, he is not a native of the area, but from the distant mountains of the Tel Avi Lady, a well-known fighting race among the human race. On a combat level, they are like the position of the Bimon Orc Main Station race in the entire Bimon Orc race. Even if they have strong combat power, they are not very popular in the human world, because their living habits are similar to those of barbarians, they like to live in the deep mountains and old forests, and their cultural heritage is also at a relatively primitive level, and they also belong to the category that is not very civilized.
In addition to these, there are even many people who believe that the Lady Travi was a race among the Bimon orcs a long time ago, because they have abilities that other human races do not have, and they will go berserk. Yes, like the high-ranking warriors of the Beamon Orcs, Lady Travi can also go berserk as long as she reaches a certain level, which is no different from the madness of orc warriors. Therefore, they also have a name in the human world, called "Tel Aviv Berserker".
This Tel Aviv berserker who won his freedom in the arena of Fever didn't even know Hank's name, and when he was still serving in this gladiatorial arena, Hank used to call him "barbarian". Even his statues and steles are not his real name, but his familiar stage name, "The Slayer". He is one of the few legends in the gladiatorial world who is still alive, a big man who can eat and drink everywhere just by his name, and who is more suitable than him to deal with Captain Cao? Hank has even dreamed back to the past, during the period of the Slayer's service, it has always been the most satisfying cash cow for Hank, if it weren't for his 100-win record at that time that the whole country interceded for him, Hank would not have returned his freedom for no reason. Hank has also witnessed every battle of the Slayer, and he fully believes that the Slayer is a warrior born to fight, and he didn't want to leave the arena of Fever in the first place, he still wants to chase this honor and make his legend more fleshed out.
In recent years, Hank has also heard some news about this former cash cow. He still spends his time in the arena, but only as an invited guest at the big tournaments, but his appearances are getting less and less. Some say it's because the years have taken away the offensive prowess that the Slayer once prided himself on, and he is starting to look old in the arena compared to the rising stars in the gladiatorial arena. In fact, this is not the first time that the public has lamented the Slaughterer's ageing, as there has been talk of the Slayer getting older than other young gladiators ever since he entered the arena. At the age of fifty, the Slayer's legs and feet may not be as sharp as they used to be, and his running on the field may seem stumbling, but the years of experience in the arena have given him the most valuable gladiatorial experience.
His excellent defense and positioning have always kept his opponents frustrated after a long fight, and even when he fights the lads of his prime, the Slayer has always been able to take advantage of the tricks he has honed over the years. His unrivaled sense of battle dictates that every one of his offensive choices is perfectly reasonable, and anyone who has watched him play will feel that way. Now he almost doesn't have to go berserk, and he can calmly put it on his opponent after winning the applause of the audience.
Looking back on the past, the Slayer left too many marks on the city and the arena of fever, from the amazement of his birth, to the shock of not losing a single defeat in more than 100 dueling games, to the light breeze when he regained his freedom, the appearance of the slaughterer even rewrote the history of the entire gladiatorial circle, and at the same time, he also composed the most beautiful music of the arena of fever.
"Hey, Slayer, are you going to say goodbye to the game like those people in the entertainment industry?" Hank had asked him some time ago, just as he was packing his mallet and leaving here.
"No, no, that's not my style. From now on, I am only willing to fight for money. The Slayer's answer at the time was this, with freedom and honor, the Slayer knew what it would take to live the rest of his life.
As a man in the game, Hank knows better that the Slayer's appearance rate is not declining now because he is old, it is just because he can watch fewer and fewer games, and the sky-high asking price before his appearance every time he appears makes some gladiatorial arena owners feel that they can't bear it, so there are these rumors. Other people in the industry couldn't stand the slayer's lion opening their mouths, but Hank didn't care, money was not a problem at all for the Rothschilds.
A few days after the end of the Survivor Game, the third battle of Commander Cao's gladiator career also floated in. An uproar erupted throughout Montana, and the streets were filled with discussions about the return of the slaughterers to execute the leader of the raiders. The name evokes fond memories for countless gladiatorial lovers, and tickets for the Arena of Fever are once again sold out without any suspense. Even though Hank added some temporary seats, demand still outstripped supply. In the end, the purchase of tickets turned into an auction situation where the highest bidder got it, and the death penalty of Head Cao and the fame of the slaughterer combined, which can be regarded as breaking a record.
A few days later, Commander Cao stood on the gladiatorial arena again. Few people know what kind of problems Captain Cao faced after the second gladiatorial fight, the treatment he received was not fair at all, or that Hank never intended to be fair to him. The prison where Head Cao was located could not be described as a prison, more like a steel coffin. The entire cage is only less than a square area, less than two meters high, after being locked in, there is no light at all, only an extremely narrow air vent can breathe, a close is a few days, during which the head of Cao will never be released to breathe, let alone provide him with food or water. This kind of day can be said to be more difficult than being buried alive, but Captain Cao has not complained in the slightest. Hank also asked people to report about him, ordinary people are locked in this kind of black box, and they are already about to go crazy, and the person in charge of monitoring Captain Cao said that Captain Cao has not made any noise since he was locked in, and it is quieter than a dead person.
On the day of the game, as soon as the iron box was opened, Captain Cao walked out in high spirits, his spirit was more normal than that of a normal person, and he would greet the staff of the Fever Arena with a smile, and ask for warmth. As for the water and food, Head Cao didn't ask for it at all. Head Cao is indeed in a very good mood, and the exercises he has cultivated have now reached a level where he can deeply enter the realm, even if he doesn't eat for ten days and half a month, there will be no problem. How could Captain Cao not know Hank's thoughts, he just wanted to torture and destroy himself, so that Captain Cao would turn into a complete soft-footed shrimp and go on the field to be abused by the slaughterers to find teeth. It's a pity that Captain Cao is going to disappoint him again, Captain Cao is definitely a blessing in disguise, during the period when he was locked up in the black box, his cultivation has jumped to another level, and now he has cultivated to the sixth layer, in the words of Old Man Cao back then, a person who can cultivate to this point can already say that he is not a human being. What should it be, Captain Cao can't find a specific adjective.
Captain Cao, who was originally very good-looking, stood on the gladiatorial arena, and his whole temperament had undergone earth-shaking changes, calming and relaxed, and even giving people a sense of holiness. Commander Cao also saw the opponent he needed to face this time, the Tel Aviv berserker who was even taller and burier than Donk, "The Slayer".
Mrs. Travi's long brown hair and bushy beard were braided, and he wore a solitary helmet made of a cow's skull, and only his glittering eyes could be seen. He has a height of two meters seven or eight, and he strides forward, giving people a feeling of being overwhelmed by Mount Tai. A bright red cloak flew on his back, wearing only a pair of animal skin shorts and a pair of animal skin boots, and a body of muscles that were so strong that they were exaggerated and generously exposed to the air, which was the standard gladiator's attire, and it was also the most classic look of the slaughterer. His weapons are an axe and a half-body shield, which belongs to the kind of warrior combination that is very balanced in attack and defense, and it is also a classic "Momiro fighter" style in the gladiatorial arena.
It was also the first time that Captain Cao had seen this branch of the human race that would go berserk, and in terms of size, they did already have the capital to wrestle with some of the main battle races of the Beamon Orcs. That muscle can also be seen to be tempered, he has countless conspicuous scars on his body, and at first glance he is also a ruthless character who has experienced a lot of life and death battles, compared to Barkley's vain guy, the man's medal on this slaughterer is much sexier.
"I've heard that you've achieved untold glory in this arena, and that your endurance year after year is unmatched. As your opponent, it's a special treat to be able to play against you. The two stared at each other for a long time, and Head Cao opened the conversation box first, and after being locked up in the black box for so long, Head Cao's mouth was still a little lonely.
And the rare politeness of Head Cao was not exchanged for the same courtesy. The slaughterer just glanced at Commander Cao with extreme contempt, then raised his shield axe to himself, and then walked around the gladiatorial arena with his arms outstretched. Captain Cao's greeting was directly ignored by this arrogant and rude guy!
Captain Cao was very angry, and the consequences were also very serious, Captain Cao was not unseen arrogant and rude, he himself was such a person, he was angry because he didn't expect him to see a bastard who was even more arrogant and rude than himself...... (To be continued.) )
