Cotton's body was torn into pieces and scattered on the ground. The sound of the giant wolves gnawing flesh and bones and crushing bones echoed over the arena, making everyone's hair stand on end.
Someone recognized the true identity of these monsters - war beasts.
Panic instantly spread like a plague.
The horrified audience shouted and howled as they stood up from their seats and scrambled to escape to the rear exit.
As for the gladiators on the field, they were only ten meters away from the wolves, and they were already frightened and overwhelmed by the bloody scene in front of them.
The cunning fox Beisen was the first to react. He whispered to the people around him: "Don't make any noise. While these war beasts don't notice us, slowly move back."
Everyone retreated as instructed, but before they had taken a few steps, one person turned around and ran away because he couldn't bear the miserable situation in front of him.
An alert giant wolf noticed something strange in front of him, raised his head to look at the prey not far away, and roared to the sky. The other monsters stopped eating and turned their heads in the direction of the gladiator.
"Oh, damn!" Seeing that the situation was gradually getting out of control, Bessen turned around and ran away.
As he ran, he took out several throwing knives from his arms and threw them out without hesitation. The target of the attack was not the giant wolf behind him, but the thighs or insteps of the gladiators around him. He used the lives of these companions to fight for himself.
Buying time to escape.
Todd dragged Deirdre to the wall at the end of the arena. In front of him was the towering wall, and behind him were the wolves that were getting closer and closer.
Looking at the trembling woman beside him, Todd looked around anxiously, with only one thought in his mind, what should he do next?
There were screams in the distance, and several more gladiators were caught up by the giant wolf, and they were cut into pieces and dismembered in an instant.
At this critical moment of life and death, an object suddenly appeared in his sight, making Todd's eyes light up.
The chain removed from the winch.
"Stay here, wait for me to come back!" Todd left Deirdre where she was and ran quickly towards the chain in the center of the field.
Rolling on the ground, putting the chain on his back, Todd started running back to Deirdre at full speed.
Tie one end of the chain into a slip knot, Todd aimed it at the upper iron railing on the fence, and threw it up with all his strength.
The gladiators who escaped from the giant wolf were killed by the wolf one after another, leaving only the cunning fox Beson, who was still running for his life.
Seeing Todd take the chain, Bethan instantly understood his plan, changed direction, and fled in their direction.
Just when Bethen was still more than ten steps away from Todd, he saw that the latter had tied the chain. A trace of viciousness flashed in the former's eyes, and he took out three flying knives in his hand and threw them forward.
The flying knife drew a straight line in the air and stabbed Todd in the back.
Ding ding ding!
Contrary to what Bethan expected, the flying knives hit Todd's back, making a sound of hitting metal, and then were bounced to the ground one by one.
Todd looked back at Bethan, his eyes cold and unkind, making the latter shudder and not dare to make a mistake.
Supporting Deirdre, Todd asked her to climb up the iron chain first and climb over the stands behind the fence. Then he picked up the sword and shield on the ground and climbed up. Bethan followed him and was the last one to climb up.
Go to the stands.
Looking at the wolves lingering and roaring below the wall, Deirdre, who was surviving the disaster, happily asked Todd: "Are we safe?"
To Deirdre's surprise, Todd took her hand and ran towards the exit of the spectator stands at full speed, shouting: "No! It's too early to say it's safe now!"
The facts bear out what Todd said.
This group of giant spiked wolves put their front paws on the wall, and their sharp blade-like claws pierced into the stone wall, causing these war beasts to start climbing up the wall.
As early as the end of the Battle of North Rock, Huggins gave a special report to Todd, detailing the war beasts of the northern barbarians, focusing on describing this giant wolf that could climb walls.
Seeing that the giant wolf was able to climb up the stands very quickly, Todd pulled Deirdre, followed by the cunning fox Beson, and the three of them ran towards the exit of the aisle at the rear of the stands.
When they finally arrived at the exit of the stands, the three of them were stunned by the scene in front of them.
People, people are everywhere.
Those spectators who were supposed to escape from the venue actually stayed here. In the narrow aisles and the small square in front of the gate, people crowded around each other, and at least a thousand people gathered.
Amidst the noise and crying, Bessen pushed aside the crowd in front and cursed loudly: "Are you people crazy? Why don't you run away?!"
Someone pointed to the door in despair. At this time, Bessen discovered that the door to the stand had been blocked long after the audience entered.
This also means that the thousands of people in this small space will soon become food for the wolves.
"Those war beasts have climbed up to the stands." Queen Maeve looked down, and said to Conchieber in a long voice: "The gate of the stands is still closed. Are you still not going to order the door to be opened?"
Conchieber's eyes were red, like a wounded beast, and he took a big sip of red wine without saying a word.
"The gladiator and his lover may die from the wolf's mouth, but many people will die as well, so that doesn't matter?"
"There will always be sacrifices..."
Conchieber's almost ruthless words attracted Maeve's disdainful eyes.
In front of the grandstand gate, people were banging on the door. The calls for help, pleas, and prayers from men, women, the elderly, and children were mixed together. They could be heard clearly even from hundreds of meters away.
Bessen shook the door latch like crazy and shouted loudly: "I can't die here!"
I don’t know who shouted at this time: “The wolves have climbed onto the stands!”
After hearing this, the people became even more confused. Some people tried to climb the ten-meter-high outer wall, but in vain; some people knelt on the ground and prayed to various gods for the coming of the savior.
Todd placed Deirdre in an unoccupied corner at the end of the corridor. Listening to the howling of wolves not far away, he quietly took off the dagger and buckler from his back.
Without too many instructions or sensational words, just a word of "wait for me", Todd stood up and strode towards the entrance of the aisle.
As Todd walked, he shouted to the crowd behind him: "Beson the cunning fox! I know you can hear it. If you don't want to die, come over and guard the intersection with me!"
Todd's shout attracted everyone's attention. Seeing the gladiator resolutely walking towards the wolves, people stopped crying and shouting, with reverence and gratitude in their eyes.
After quietly closing his eyes for a few seconds, Todd opened his eyes again. The shield in his left hand was raised to his chest, and the dagger in his right hand was hidden by his side. At the same time, he looked back at the aisle behind him.
This aisle is three meters high, two meters wide, and has a total length of about 11 meters. It is the only passage leading to the exit of the stands. As long as this can be guarded, the safety of the people in the square in front of the gate can be ensured.
Soon, the first mutant giant wolf appeared in Todd's field of vision.
This fast-moving monster with sharp teeth and claws jumped up from the edge of the stands and pounced on the gladiators in the aisle below.
The scene on the training ground in the past flashed through his mind. Todd used his shield to firmly block the giant wolf's claw attack. His body slid back fifty centimeters due to the huge inertia. Then he swung the shield and hit the giant wolf hard.
On his chin, taking advantage of the moment when the opponent was dazed, he thrust the edge of the dagger into the enemy's throat.
Then, the second and third giant wolf came quickly and attacked at the same time.
Todd took a small step back, and while the two giant wolves were still in the air, he aimed his short sword at one of them and stabbed it in the chest.
A howl from a beast spread along the aisle. Some brave spectators walked to the end of the aisle with trembling steps, stretching their heads to see what was going on.
Seeing Todd who was fighting with the wolves and the two wolf corpses on the ground, the audience shouted excitedly: "Oh my God! It's the Red Champion! He is fighting an entire group of beasts alone!"
At the same time, on the high viewing platform, Queen Maeve looked at the fierce battle taking place at the crossing, while covering her chest with her hands, she sincerely sighed: "I have never seen such a man... This is a man
A true warrior!"
Conchie Erb stared at the figure fighting bravely among the wolves, gritted his teeth and said: "He won't last long!"
The number of giant wolves that appeared at the intersection was increasing, and Todd had to move back and take advantage of the terrain to reduce the number of enemies fighting at the same time.
First, the shield slashed downwards, shattering the heavenly spirit cap of a giant wolf; then, the dagger thrust out and pierced the eye socket of another enemy. A giant wolf crawling on the ground saw the right opportunity to swipe through the gap under the shield.
He stretched out his sharp claws on Todd's calf, leaving three deep wounds.
The injured Todd was unable to stand and fell to the ground. Unexpectedly, a giant wolf took this opportunity to jump over his head and ran into the aisle, about to pounce on innocent people.
A flying knife hit the giant wolf in the chest, and a dagger pierced the heart of the fish that slipped through the net.
The one who threw the throwing knife was Bessin the cunning fox, but the one who used the dagger was Deirdre.
The two came behind Todd and began to serve as support to help the former deal with these giant wolves.
Seeing this scene, some enthusiastic people could no longer remain indifferent. They removed the chairs in the stands, picked up the stones on the ground, and joined in the fight against the war beasts.
A tragic battle involving thousands of lives and deaths took place in this narrow corridor. People placed their lives on the sword and shield of a gladiator, but they also witnessed the birth of a hero's legend.
Twenty minutes later, the corridor was filled with corpses of mutant giant wolves. The stone walls on both sides were stained red with blood stains, and the stone slabs underfoot were flowing with enough blood to cover the insteps.
Amidst the earth-shattering cheers and praises of the people, Todd, who had become a bloody man all over his body, calmly walked through the aisle and came to the closed door at the exit.
People looked at this gladiator who used his life and honor to protect the weak. They looked at him with admiration from the bottom of their hearts and offered their most sincere blessings without hesitation.
Throwing the sword and shield in his hand to the ground, Todd touched the exit door with his hand.
Under everyone's puzzled gaze, Todd first took a few steps back, then kicked his feet to the ground, and his body hit the door like a discharged cannonball.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Sly Fox Bessen was stunned: "Could he be trying to knock him away with his body... This is too crazy!"
Even those people who had seen Todd challenge the wolves thought that this act was completely in vain.
Among all the people, only Deirdre said with firm eyes: "No! He can do it!"
As the body retreated, took off, and collided again, Todd's speed became faster and faster, his strength became stronger, and the impact became louder and louder.
In the end, every battering-ram impact caused the ground to shake and the walls to tremble.
People's initial doubts have turned into endless fanaticism.
"Champion of Red!"
"Champion of Red!"
Under the shouts of cheers and crazy collisions, the door at the exit crashed to the ground.
The long-lost light shines into the crowd, and fresh air fills the lungs again.
Beson looked at the figure immersed in the light and murmured to himself: "Maybe those guys are right, he may really be the incarnation of the God of War..."
Just when everyone was still rejoicing that they had escaped death, a group of soldiers surrounded the exit and aimed their spears and bows at the people.
The leading commander shouted loudly at the crowd: "By the king's order, we are here to arrest the rebel leader Boyle and the traitor Deirdre! Please don't panic. Under our inspection, we will arrest everyone."
here……"
"You bastards!" A well-established Ulster nobleman in fine clothes stood up, pointed at the soldiers in front of him, and yelled: "We have been locked in for so long! We will soon turn into monsters.
Where were you sons of bitches when it came to food?! Now you have the nerve to ask us to cooperate?!"
The indignant people loudly criticized, and some grumpy people even picked up stones on the ground and threw them at the soldiers.
"Get away! The tyrant's lackey!"
"Coward! A disgrace to Ulster!"
"Shameless murderers! I will weave your crimes into songs and let bards sing them throughout every kingdom in the north!"
Todd held Deirdre's hand, looking at the chaos in front of him, thinking about a way to escape. An old man next to him suddenly took off his robe and handed it to him: "Red Champion, put it on quickly.
this."
Another noble lady also took off her expensive cloak and wrapped it around Deirdre.
No one in the crowd shouted: "Get out! Beat these sons of bitches to death!"
Hundreds of people protected Todd and Deirdre in the middle, and rushed towards the soldiers in formation. They broke up the army's formation and ran into the streets and alleys of the kingdom.
When the army commander came to his senses and tried to look for the prisoner again, Todd and Deirdre could no longer be found in the vast sea of people.
