Rhodes stood up straight and shouted loudly. The cold winter wind blew across his face, raising his long brown hair, and his burly body stood proudly like a grizzly bear in the pale sunlight.
If the previous challengers were all weaklings, then Rhodes' appearance undoubtedly shocked everyone. A castle lord, a human warrior with rich practical experience, the battle between him and the arena champion will be exciting.
Looking forward to it. However, with Rhodes' identity, it seems that he should not go out in person to fight...
For many years, people have never seen the lord personally go to war. In those years of war, the human lord once served as the most powerful warrior on the battlefield, leading the soldiers through life and death. However, the two hundred years of peace have erased these
The human lords, the will and soul of the great lords, they are no longer hardworking and simple, no longer brave and tenacious, and even gradually withdraw from the battlefield and let their men charge into the battle. This is the case with Lord Aubrey of Iron Ring City, Lord Varui of Heidelberg
So is you.
"Hey, wait, wait, Rod, do you know what you just said?"
Lord Aubrey even questioned him on the spot. From a short distance away, Rhodes could clearly hear his old friend's voice.
"I know very well, my friend, that I challenge this gladiator."
Rhodes repeated again. His face looked calm and untroubled. In fact, it was the same. As a warrior blessed by the Bear God, Rhodes was 10,000 sure that he could deal with this savage. At the same time, after watching three gladiatorial matches
After that, Rhodes also had a general understanding of Mao Tou's strength. He struck hard and had great strength, but his skills were still insufficient. This guy was definitely no match for him when it came to strength, let alone skills. So, challenge him.
, an easy thing. But others don’t know, and as the lord of Iron Ring City, Aubrey also doesn’t know. In his impression, his old friend is still a farmer lord, who only farms and hunts with his men.
It's okay to kill one or two beastmen, but you have to challenge Mao Tou unless he is desperate for his life.
But Rhodes looked so desperate.
Rod's repetition left Aubrey with no way out.
"You know this is no child's play. In the arena, swords are ruthless. If you can't defeat the beast, I won't be able to save you." Aubrey said with a serious face.
"I know, but I still want to challenge him." Rhodes' face was so calm that there was no room for negotiation.
The lord of Iron Ring City rubbed the crystal stone back and forth in his hand, "Well, there are rules in the arena. Once the challenger issues a challenge, there is no possibility of withdrawing it. You see, the people have already started to revel, and I can't stop you.
"Aubrey said.
"But I have a request."
Rhodes deliberately raised his voice so that the people present in Iron Ring City could hear his words.
The little dwarf Alves stood aside without changing his expression and said nothing.
"any request?"
Aubrey moved her butt, changed her sitting position, and asked curiously.
"If I win, Iron Ring City must send troops to support Blackhammer Castle to resist the attack of the beastmen. Sorry, old friend, the blood moon is approaching, and I must think about my family."
Rhodes said loudly. His voice echoed in the arena, and almost half of the people heard it. Aubrey was too embarrassed to leave the stage. But now that the matter was over, the Lord of Iron Ring City had no room to refuse, and the two Ironmen
A rule developed over the past century, once a challenger issues a challenge, the fight must proceed. Rhodes has already issued a challenge, and there is no possibility of retreating. And his request is so legitimate that Aubrey cannot refuse, at least not
Ways to reject it in front of the people.
"You are forcing me!"
He whispered. The voice sounded threatening and full of hatred. But the audience's enthusiasm had been ignited, and Aubrey couldn't keep them waiting too long.
"Okay, okay, I promise you, my friend."
Aubrey responded loudly. The audience immediately burst into thunderous applause and shouts. They wanted to see what the contest between the Lord of Blackhammer Castle and the Arena Champion would be like.
The spectators who were about to leave sat back in their seats again. Outside the arena, the gambling dealers were already busy because of this impromptu gladiatorial battle. Those people placed their bets on Rhodes and the savages.
The bets gradually increased, and the ratios between the two sides were almost the same. The unprepared gladiatorial fight left the gamblers clueless. The fight was not within their expectations at all, so there was no way to fake it. The uneasy mood spread throughout the entire arena.
field.
Before Caroline and Lawrence could object, Rhodes walked straight out of the auditorium of the arena.
Walking through the dark corridor and arriving at the weapons warehouse, Rhodes randomly selected a knight's sword. The gate of the arena was right in front of him. What awaited him was the brutal and bloody competitive sand pool.
Finally, the door was slowly opened. Dragging his long sword, Rhodes walked to the center of the venue. The pale sunlight shone on his face, full of determination. Surrounding the amphitheater were the excited people of Iron Ring City, shouting.
One after another. On the opposite side, the wild man gladiator Mao Tou, who looked like a buffalo, had already raised his axe. The tomahawk had just killed three gladiators and was covered with the blood and internal organs of the enemy.
However, Rhodes felt nothing about it. He squatted down gently, grabbed the sand on the ground, and held it in his hand to increase the friction between his palm and the sword hilt. At the same time, Savage Hair made a vulgar laugh.
.Humans...Humans have never defeated him. In the past, he killed hundreds of human beings. They were full of confidence and high morale at the beginning, but in the end they all dragged their bodies down. This one is no exception,
What's more, he was still wearing cloth clothes... Yes, Rhodes was only wearing cotton clothes. A thin cotton clothes with almost no protection.
The savage turned around disdainfully, pointed his butt at Rhodes, and let out a wild roar to the audience, declaring his dominance as the king of the arena.
But Rhodes just stared at him, narrowing his eyes.
Soon, the savage turned around again, this time, he clenched the battle ax in his hand. Following the magistrate's order, the two began to fight...
Maotou rushed over first, the wild roar sounded again, and the whistling battle ax swung a fatal arc in the air, hitting Lord Blackhammer's chest.
The horrifying scene made Caroline in the stands tremble with fear. Lawrence and Khufu craned their necks and watched every move of their lord and the wild gladiator on the field.
White was praying to the gods in his seat. Only the little dwarf Alves was calm and expressionless, as if this was just an ordinary gladiatorial match.
