"Today! Let's think back to that year ago. In Broken Mountain, the Castle of Severcro that we all know. Brave and fearless knights and armies from all over the north were waiting on the city walls. The Master of Ceremonies recited aloud like a poet, and everyone listened to him quietly.

"They! There are less than 3,000 of them. And the army of orcs is four thousand! This cruel and barbaric race let out a terrifying roar! They climbed to the city wall and fought to the death with the warriors who held their ground! They tore, waved, and cruelly opened their bloody mouths, while our warriors could only rely on each other and block with their bodies!" The fat man waved his arms exaggeratedly, his eyes widened, and his tone was terrifying, making people almost feel the touch of being there, and he couldn't help but gasp!

"The battle lasted from the early hours of the morning until noon, and all the warriors were exhausted, and the banners fell! Blood soaked the ankles! The swords were cut until they were blunted! Despair and fear accompanied everyone's hearts, and everyone was crying! Reinforcements were called. The chief officer's tone suddenly became low, and he pressed his hands against the wall: "But where will there be reinforcements?!"

The sound of the entire arena was suppressed, waiting nervously, everyone knew that the battle was won by humans, so there will definitely be reinforcements.

They waited for that reinforcement to appear.

"They're coming!" the celebrant said, causing an exclamation from the audience!

"These mighty knights, with their banners held high and their backs to the light, launched the fiercest charge against the orc army! they shouted: 'Glory-!-Victory!' All the enemies could only flee in all directions in the face of their might. They saved the whole northern shijie!"

"Dear Caesar, and noble lords, allow me to introduce you—" The Master of Ceremonies nodded vigorously, and then held his hands towards the door of the arena: "Venerable Knight Janus and his comrade-in-arms, Imparado! and Kret of Knight Boris from Mistermai!!!"

Almost at the same time, two sturdy war horses, one brown and one black, rushed into the arena from behind the iron gate, instantly detonating the cheers of the audience!!!

Boris rode his horse and rushed past Imparado's horse as if defiant, and then proudly raised his head and stopped under the flag.

"I won't lose to you again this time!" Unconvinced, Boris made a declaration of victory towards Janus.

"Let's take a look at Bibi!" Janas picked up his mustache, patted the war horse under him with a wicked smile, and said, "My good brother has taken a fancy to that beautiful horse from Salion!"

"Ha!" Boris sneered as if he remembered the scene when he was tied into a rice dumpling a year ago, and let his war horse trot to the designated position: "That beautiful horse should undoubtedly belong to me!"

The two ignored each other and stood under the flag, waiting for the other players to arrive.

"What a surprise!"

In the main stand, Salald leaned back in his chair and shook his head in admiration: "I believe that there will be no chance to see this scene in the Holy Capital, the Romans, there seems to be an indescribable enthusiasm!"

"It's really incomprehensible. Aaron on the side nodded in response: "This kind of cohesion and scene is really unheard of!"

"But you're in Rome right now. Theodore came over with two glasses of wine, handed them to the two men, smiled and sat down in the chair in the middle, as if the whole person had loosened his hand, and closed his eyes and said to himself: "In Rome, you are to be like a Roman." ”

"Do as the locals do?" said Salald with a disapproving smile.

"That's it, so enjoy it. Theodore spread his hands.

"The way you look now is nothing like the Theodore I remembered. Aaron smiled a little sarcastically: "Theodore, whom I know, is an admirable knight and leader. ”

"Ahhh ”

"In short, it's just -- work hard!" Theodore took a beautiful drink, ignoring the etiquette of the hearty daxiao: "And then play with death, this is the secret of life!"

"I'm not good at making friends!"

Aaron pretended to pat his chest helplessly and looked at Salald on the right: "It seems that we really found a 'good friend'!"

"I think it's pretty haode. Salald shrugged his shoulders: "It's really nice to entertain the people, make everyone forget their troubles, and strengthen the cohesion of the people, isn't it?"

"Of course, it's expensive. ”

"Ahh The corners of Aaron's mouth twitched, turning his attention back to the arena: "Oh, there's someone else?!"

"Now please join us to welcome this zuihou from the far northern ice fields!" the Master of Ceremonies shouted, "Gaddor from Ryan and his brutal savage monster, the Norhanway !!!!"

Gado, who was driving the tall horse under his crotch, rushed into the arena almost at a gallop, and even raised his right hand to the audience and waved non-stop, bringing wave after wave of cheers.

"Seems to be a good rider and a good horse racer. Theodore smiled at Gado's leaping figure: "He's smart and knows how to win the hearts of his audience. ”

"Highlanders?" Aaron showed some interest, "It seems that Theodore's fame has spread there?"

"I would have preferred him because of Rome's reputation. Theodore shook his head.

"When I go back this time, I will inherit the title of Grand Duke of Salion. Salald said suddenly: "My father has been in poor health for the past two years, which may have something to do with his unruly life in his early years, I shouldn't have said this, but the old man was really suave when he was young, and I had a lot of younger brothers and sisters I didn't know!"

"Haha, it looks like you're busy!" Diodore slapped him on the back, "Congratulations in advance, Grand Duke of Salion!"

"Then, as the Caesar of Rome, Julian, should you also show something?" Salald looked as a matter of course: "As the Grand Duke, my preferences affect the friendly exchanges between the two sides!"

"High Priest Flavi has made the best preparations and is about to go to Salion to preach, and you will get what you want!" Theodore said with a smile: "In return, I believe that a hundred Salion horses should be able to show the status of the Duke of Salion!"

"A hundred?!" Salald had a mortal expression: "Fifty horses at most!"

"Priest Kessot will also go. Theodor's face did not change: "Seventy horses!"

"Sixty, no more!" Salald suddenly pressed: "I will give you two more of the most haode as a personal gift, and another twenty as a gift to the Grand Duke of Brenus!"

"Congratulations!" Theodore raised his glass and took a sip with a smile, "I hope that the next time we meet, the honorable Grand Duke of Salion will be able to bring a sword that matches his status!"

"The game is on!" Aaron suddenly shouted, "Look!"

With the sound of a loud brass trump, a dozen knights rushed out from the banner with their most famous comrades, leaving only a billowing cloud of smoke and dust behind them, turning into flying arrows, flashing in layers of afterimages in the wave of earth-shattering cheers!

In this dynamic arena, the exciting competition for everyone has finally begun!

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Nights were always intoxicating, especially after a long day of madness, and Theodore sat on a stone chair in the courtyard, the slight cool breeze keeping him awake to a certain extent.

There are no stars in the sky, and the moon is not very bright, probably because it is in winter?

The dim light moved silently, and Theodore couldn't help but turn his head, and the supple figure met his eyes.

"Ah, Helena. Theodore rubbed his painful temples and smiled reluctantly, "Are you still having fun today?"

"I want to congratulate you. Helena walked over with a blank face: "Your Excellency, your banquet and competition are very good, I believe you and your friends must have had a good time, right?"

"Oh, yes, yes!" Theodore said apologetically, as if he had just remembered, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

"You didn't think of me at all!" Helena sat across from him angrily, "What other invitations do you have?!You only remember those who are good for you!What else can a helpless person like me ask for?!"

"I'm sorry!" The young man lowered his head sincerely: "I didn't mean to, you are my friend, how could I only think of benefits?!"

"Helena, my dear Helena. Theodore reached out and grabbed the girl's delicate little hand, and only relieved himself after finding that the other party had no intention of resisting: "Please, forgive me." ”

Theodore gently took Helena's right hand in the palm of his hand, feeling the not-so-warm temperature, waiting for the other to turn back.

The girl's eyes flickered with tears, and she slowly turned her head: "Should I believe you again?"

"I used to ...... I promised two people to protect you and not let you be hurt in any way, and if you feel sad it is my breach of trust. Theodore bit his lower lip: "I am Caesar, and I do what I say." ”

"So, please be happy, my dear friend, my Helena!"

"Theodore!" the girl's face was slightly hot: "You are still so bad at making girls happy!"

"Because I'm Theodore Julian. Theodore smiled mysteriously: "I'm only half a prince!"

"You are Theodore, Theodore Julian. Helena's blue eyes shimmered: "You're Caesar!"

"Will you walk around the courtyard with me?" Diodore stood up with a smile, bent down gentlemanly, and handed out the fingers of his right hand: "Just like last time!"

"Nope. Helena pushed her little nose and frowned slightly: "The smell of alcohol on your body is too strong!"

"Uh............ I'm sorry. The boy retracted his right hand in embarrassment, but the girl grabbed the cuff violently!

"So I'm here to invite you this time. The heroic Helena proudly raised her neck, and a sweet smile curled into the corners of her mouth, like a white swan, which made Theodore fascinated.

"There are so many stars tonight!"
