Chapter 568 - Arrival in the Colosseum

From the moment the organizers of the gladiatorial competition announced that His Majesty the Emperor would come to the gladiatorial arena to watch the battle, the palace guards and the army had already begun to defend the martial law and main roads in the city, not only emptied all the houses on both sides of the road leading to the gladiatorial arena of the imperial palace, but also made careful preparations inside the gladiatorial arena, and reconnaissance spells repeatedly penetrated the entire gladiatorial arena, even hundreds of feet underground, to ensure that there were no dead ends.

Under the heavy protection of the army and the strong, the royal car pulled by the monster drove all the way to the gladiatorial arena, and many people finally breathed a sigh of relief, including the captain of the Lingjing security "Smiling Tiger" Hughes and the head of the intelligence department who loves to call himself a general, once something happened, as the person directly responsible, the two of them didn't have to run at all.

If His Majesty the Emperor returns to the palace safely, then this merit and reward will inevitably fall into their hands.

"Maybe that guy has finally caught the right person!"

Standing on the inside of the checkpoint outside the gladiatorial arena, watching his subordinates viciously interrogating every person who entered, the head of the intelligence department muttered to himself intentionally or unintentionally, although the light god was the most suspicious, but before he opened his mouth to confess, no one dared to completely put down the big stone in his heart.

In the fifth round of battles yesterday, except for the battles numbered 748 and 3166, which were disrupted by the strong men of the Intelligence Department, the other battles were very tragic, but there was nothing unusual about them.

Most of the suspects who were paid special attention to by the intelligence officer Qilanya were eliminated, except for one guy who was seriously injured and dying, and the rest of the eliminated contestants were turned into corpses, and the death and serious injuries cleared their suspicions, so the intelligence department quickly turned its attention away from these people.

The Slans couldn't have taken the liberty of letting a dragon knight die in a gladiatorial tournament, it was definitely a big joke, and it was obviously much safer to sit in the audience than to fight to the death in the duel area.

If the Dragon-Warrior was still hiding among the contestants, then today's sixth round of battle would have doubled the likelihood that he would be exposed, in a more heavily guarded gladiatorial arena than before. It's tantamount to throwing yourself into a trap.

"Dude, it's just a dragon knight, does it make you so nervous?"

Hughes, the vigilante captain who appeared next to Night Cry at some point, looked at the top head of the intelligence department with a smile, and the gladiatorial arena had always been under his and Nightcry's control inside and out.

"No, no, no, I'm just a little worried! But it's nothing, we always get suspicious!"

The big stall head shook his head with a dry smile, not wanting this "smiling tiger" to know too much about his thoughts.

"Well, I can understand, there is really nothing to worry about, the people around Your Majesty plus the arrangement here. Even if the Slan's dragoon army comes, it may not be able to take advantage, but it is just a dragon knight who has lost his fighting spirit, even if he shows up in public, I am afraid that he will not be able to do anything, the only thing to worry about is the dragon, we have no shortage of magic gods here! ”

Hughes, the captain of the security team, looked calm and confident, very optimistic, and felt that this big head of the intelligence department was indeed thinking too much.

"You're right! There's only one person on the other side. Even if there were others, they couldn't make any big waves. ”

Nightweed doesn't intend to reveal to the sheriff captain that she recently received news about the province of Penni on the northern border of the Empire, which is too bizarre.

A dragon knight led a defeated group of Adrisig soldiers to sack more than a dozen towns in a row, and even almost washed one city in blood. Whether it's the local vigilante.

If this news were to be made public, it would definitely cause quite a stir within the empire, and even damage the prestige of Hoka Tesi.

Because of this, the Intelligence Department did not dare to underestimate the dragon knight from beginning to end. This is also the night cry of the big stall again and again, and again and again to give the intelligence officer Rehazy, who has been defeated one after another, a chance-

Although the barriers and entry and exit checkpoints around the gladiatorial arena were more closely checked than yesterday, the bronze medals of the contestants were relied upon. Lin Mo was not hindered in any way, and easily entered the gladiatorial arena.

Seeing the back of the dragon knight at the level, Xiu Yu and several other royal guards immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and they immediately dispersed and carried out their respective division of labor.

The two guards then followed the crowd into the gladiatorial arena, and they were responsible for covert cover during the operation, while Chai Ying and Cochineal Bream left the city of Lingjing and prepared to meet the stronghold outside the city.

As the leader of the secret guard, Xiu Yu quickly disappeared from the crowd and hid in a rented house outside the gladiatorial arena, where she had a more important task that would determine the success of Lin Mo's operation.

The royal viewing platform with the best view in the gladiatorial arena was covered with comfortable and fluffy large animal velvet blankets, palace maids and guards could be seen everywhere, and a figure faintly exuding a powerful aura could be seen in the corner.

On the outer edge of the fence directly opposite the emperor's seat, a royal coat of arms banner embroidered with nine hollow oblique rhombic rhombs enclosed in a circle hangs vertically.

Fifty steps away from the viewing platform is the audience seat for the nobles and commoners, whether it is the organizer of the four major chambers of commerce, or the palace attaches great importance to the safety of the emperor's travel.

The Emperor of the Tessie Empire, Hoka Tessie, was only in his thirties, with a thin face, a beard on his chin, and a luxurious and comfortable casual dress, with a calm gaze that concealed his ambition and never-ending enterprising.

Compared to the previous emperor of the Slan Empire, Cyril St. Slan, who died early, the young Emperor Tessi was more of a tireless machine, and since his succession to the throne, he has been committed to improving his national power and expanding his territory.

The large uninhabited desert of the Adrishyg Empire bordering the western border is obviously not a good choice, not to mention the endless desert bandits, the uninhabited land of the Tennetminar swamp in the north and the Ibiza country mean endless raids and difficult to explore dangerous places, although there is also a Mazaron Principality between the south and the Anstrasser Empire, but for the Tessie Empire, it is obviously not in the interests of the Tessi people to lose the buffer of Mazaron and border a large southern empire that is also ambitious and more powerful.

The Slan Empire to the east was thus the best target for the Tessis for their territorial needs.

Although it lasted for five years, not long after the curtain ended, the national war, which was nicknamed the "half-gold coin war" by historians and the public, was declared by the Slans on their own initiative.

But behind the series of frictions and conflicts before the war, there is a faint shadow of the young Emperor Tessie.

The heavy casualties of the Battle of the Central Mountains of Hailar forced the two countries to end the fighting, and although peace was renewed with the Slans, Hoka Tessi never gave up.

Behind the conspiracy of the Five Nations Alliance that almost dragged the Slan Empire into the abyss, he is still secretly pushing it.

Not long after the emperor and his ministers took their seats on the viewing platform, the nearby auditorium was quickly filled.

Being able to watch the gladiatorial tournament with His Majesty the Emperor, whether it was a commoner or a nobleman, without exception, was excited and frequently turned his attention to the stands.

Some even shouted in oblivion.

"Long live the Empire!"

"The Tessi Empire will be eternal and prosperous!"

Like a stone striking a thousand waves, the shouts in the gladiatorial arena are getting louder and louder, and they are getting more and more neat.

Although the Tessie Empire and the Slan Empire almost had a dog's brain out several times, the people's support and love for their Emperor Xià was still there, and if it weren't for this kind of bravery and fanaticism permeating all levels of society, Hoka Tessie would not have repeatedly launched measures against the Slan Empire, and would not have become a king.

"The contestants have already entered the venue, can we start?"

The chief steward of the gladiatorial tournament bowed down to greet his Emperor Xià.

"Let's get started, and tell the warriors that if they survive, I will recommend them to the commanders, and the top ten in the tournament will be met by me, and the top three will get a weapon or magic weapon tailored for them by the Great Builder. ”

The emperor naturally has the atmosphere of the emperor, and Hoka Tesi nodded, adding another big prize that could not be refused for the competition.

"Thank you for your grace!"

The Grand Steward bowed again with a beaming face, and respectfully withdrew from the royal viewing platform.

This news was immediately spread throughout the audience by the host of the gladiatorial competition, Tong guò wind system spells, which triggered a burst of exclamations in the audience, and the gold content of the gladiatorial competition hosted by the four major chambers of commerce immediately doubled.

It is equivalent to the opportunity to advance to the top of the ladder, even if it is worth giving his life for this, so the gold content of the gladiatorial competition sponsored by the four chambers of commerce immediately doubled.

Money, honor, power, status, and even opponents who can fight to the fullest, after the first few rounds, the fifty-one contestants who entered the sixth round are almost going crazy.

The sword qi tore through the air, emitting a terrible whistling sound, the spell exploded violently, the violent qi wave spread ferociously, and the shouts and continuous chanting became the theme of the duel area from the opening first battle.

Contestants no longer hold back, and the desire to defeat or even kill their opponents with the fastest efficiency makes every battle extremely intense.

When Lin Mo stepped into the gladiatorial arena that had become somewhat familiar again, he was greeted by the cheers that were almost overwhelming.

It's not just for him, it's about welcoming every warrior who makes it to the sixth round.

"748!

The voice from the royal viewing platform made Lin Mo look sideways.

In the tall stands, a figure with crimson battle qi rising all over his body held his scepter and signaled to him, and the sound in the entire gladiatorial arena immediately rose a step again-
