"Rome——!!!! Rome——!!!! Rome——!!!! Rome ——!!!!"

Even though it was already afternoon, the enthusiasm of the entire arena remained undiminished, with more than 10,000 spectators bringing the atmosphere back to a climax, even more frenzied than at the beginning of the morning!

The blazing sun burned desperately like the enthusiasm of the Romans, blooming with golden brilliance, burning the sand in the Colosseum. However, at this moment, not only the citizens were excited, but even the nobles sitting in the front row cheered happily - His Majesty the Emperor has personally arrived!

On the first row of thrones facing the gate, Theodore took Helena's little hand and walked forward with a smile, dressed in a red dress, her long black hair was coiled on the top of her head, and the small back crown adorned it, making the somewhat immature girl look downright and generous.

"Long live Your Majesty the Emperor——!!!! Long live Your Majesty Helena——!!!!" The enthusiastic cheers and praises resounded in the sky, and Helena, who was too excited, had a faint flush on her face, which made Theodore on the side look fascinated, and helped her little wife to sit down quickly with a smile.

Although it could be concealed, Theodore could still see the slight awkwardness of Helena's walking, and a sense of pity arose, and he specially prepared two layers of thick soft blankets under the seat, hoping to make her more comfortable.

"This is Rome, how does it feel?" Theodore looked at the "little princess" beside him with a smile on his face, and his right hand naturally rested on the immature soft thorn: "I promised." I'm going to let you watch the game once - this time it's kind of made up, so enjoy it. ”

"Loved it, very ...... I like it very much!" Helena's pale blue eyes took in the scene in front of her, and at that moment she seemed to see a lot of things, a lot of everything she had ever seen.

The day my brother announced his succession was also the same, countless famous knights came to Issos, wonderful jousting and spear duels, flowers and bunting all over the city, there was no more exciting day than that day.

However, it was also the most rejoicing celebration - the death of the Grand Master of the Knights of the Dawn. Hundreds of elite knights died on the battlefield. News of the fall of one town after another came. Helena hasn't seen her brother smile since.

"Theodore, I want you to promise me, promise me that this is not the last time a competitive tournament will be held. Helena suddenly grabbed Theodore's palm. Blue eyes and Theodore stared at each other. The voice trembled slightly: "Wait until ...... When our children are born. When he's an adult, and when he's married, you're going to have a bigger game to celebrate!"

"Absolutely. And rightfully so, my queen. Theodore was slightly stunned, but the corners of his mouth slowly raised: "I...... I don't know if you've thought so far!"

"Perhaps... Should we work hard tonight?" a wicked smile slowly appeared on Theodore's face, "Hurry up and let our children appear in this world." ”

"It's... This kind of thing...... Thing... How could it be...... ......Helena realized that she had fallen into the "trap" of the "big liar Julian", and her white and tender face was instantly congested, and the red was about to smoke: "And...... And ......"

Just as Theodore was about to go any further, the brass horns of the arena were suddenly blown towards him, and the loud trumpets sounded in unison, and the rapid drums beat like the charging of cavalry.

"Your Majesty, Honorable Majesty, you are already the people of Rome! Today, with the blessing of the great gods, the true sword fighting of the competitive competition has ushered in the first duel!" On the lookout, the rich voice of the magnificently dressed ceremonial official echoed throughout the arena: "After a whole morning of fierce competition, there is finally a heroic knight who has successfully fought his way out of the siege - a brave man from Severcro, a warrior who beheaded the head of Totosa, the leader of the northern tribes, and the legendary chief knight - El!"

Dressed in a red coat, the chief of the Severcro knights, Al walked into the arena with steady steps, heroically threw his cloak to the attendants behind him, and took down his two-handed greatsword from behind his back and plunged it into the sand. The earth-shattering cheers immediately erupted from all directions.

"Radiant Cross, why is this guy?" Captain Jorah, the Knight Chief of Mistel, looked at the burly tower-like figure in the center of the arena with a look of astonishment, his rough palms were sweaty, and he couldn't help but look to the other side: "Less...... My lord, he's all right?"

"At this moment, the great chief knight will have a challenge to decide whether he can successfully enter the next one!" said the fat ceremonial official, "Citizens of Rome, allow me to introduce to you, the warrior from the northern world, the famous 'bear hunter', the commander of the knights of the northern kingdom, the governor of the province of Mithme, His Excellency Duke Aaron Brenus!"

Almost at the same time as the ceremonial official's words fell, countless flowers and streamers fell from the stands, countless aristocratic girls stood up screaming, happily waving the flowers in their hands, and even many extremely worshipful people raised the signs in their hands high, the incense powder was dotted, and the cheering momentum even exceeded that of the Knight Commander El just now.

After all, although the Knight Commander of El is famous in the north, and he can become the Knight Chief of Severcro by his bravery, after all, he himself is over forty years old, and after the fall of Severcro, his hair has turned gray a lot after he became seriously ill, and Aaron is just twenty years old, and he is the Duke of Mistro, so he is naturally more sought after by the ladies and ladies - the most important thing is that the young Duke is not married, which is enough to make many people think about it.

The majestic Aaron stepped into the arena lightly, wearing a black leather windbreaker tied with a buffalo leather belt, and his tall body looked even more vibrant. This time, Aaron did not put on his original saber, but picked up a black iron spear, and the silver spear rolled up and down in Aaron's hand, dancing like a big windmill, and the steps under his feet moved with the spear, and the agile steps seemed to be some kind of dance.

"Damn it, it's really here!" Salald looked at the dancing black figure with a stunned expression, and couldn't help but grin and scold: "I knew that Lu Dao would attract girls so much, so I should participate too!"

"A childish move, you think so, it only shows that you are not much more mature than him. The little Duke Bran on the side pursed his lips and looked at the envious Salald with disdain: "As a duke, what you can do for this empire is far more than a knight can do!"

"I'll talk to you about this when you're an adult. Salad shrugged his shoulders and stopped looking at him: "Now, let's enjoy this game well!"

"Whew-" The corners of Aaron's mouth were raised high, he coiled the black iron spear behind him, straightened his waist and stood in front of Al, "I didn't expect to be so lucky to meet an excellent knight like you in the first game, Lord Al." ”

"I'm also surprised that you'll be competing. Al said calmly, "Lord Brenus, I have had several duels with your father, and it seems that you have inherited his talent. ”

"It is an honour to be complimented by such a revered knight as you. Aaron kicked on the tip of his foot, and his nimble right hand grabbed the spear that rose in the air in mid-air, and the black and straight body of the spear seemed to come to life, and went into Aaron's arms, and the silver light of the spear flashed like a python's letter stabbing at it.

"Oh my God, Aaron, how could he?!" Helena, who was sitting in the stands, looked at the black figure in the arena in surprise, and pressed her heart uneasily: "He, they won't have an accident, right?"

"Rest assured, my little princess, for both of them use special weapons—the El Knight's greatsword is wooden and covered with linen, and Aaron's black iron spear is a lead core with a wooden shell that reflects the light because he has been beaten with silver wax. Theodore smiled and comforted the girl beside him: "And this is just a duel, nothing will happen, just rest assured." ”

Having said that, Theodore knew very well that he could only deceive Helena. The strength of the El Knight Commander has been seen with his own eyes, and the terrifying strange power that can wield such a two-handed sword like a wooden stick is probably not much worse than that of Kosai, the leader of the orc tribe, and as for Aaron, he has never seen him use a spear, but since he immediately changed his weapon after hearing that his opponent was the El Knight Chief, it just proves that he is still very confident.

And to be able to play the gun flower so beautifully, Aaron's spear skills must be very powerful, at least it must be much more powerful than he imagined. For both of them, even if the weapons they used were made of wood, they could be extremely lethal - even the last thing Theodore wanted.

But it's impossible to get Aaron to give up now - for this simple knight, the morning of the Imperial Council has made him almost crazy, and if he can't vent quickly, something will definitely happen. Theodore, who had personally experienced it in the Senate, knew very well what it was like to be surrounded by a group of old men, and it took a long time to get used to the irritability of living like a year.

What's more, Aaron is still a duke, a knight. Letting him renounce now would undoubtedly be damaging to his honor – and there was nothing more humiliating for Aaron. In Aaron's eyes, this kind of thing probably doesn't hurt his heart more than betrayal.

Now, Theodore could only hope for the two men's superb fighting skills. However, more people did not frown because of this, and the cheers completely overshadowed the conversation between the two in the arena.

Duel, begin!
