Chapter 754 An Outstanding Sword
After Zhang Heng said these congratulations, the field fell into silence at first, and then a burst of cheers broke out at the entrance of the training ground.
Bach's companions, the five Germans, cheered loudly.
If someone had told them before this match that they would be excited about Bach's victory, they probably wouldn't believe it, because in their opinion, it is natural for Bach to win.
But after witnessing this arduous battle with their own eyes, they would never have this idea again, especially when they saw Bach go through a "hard battle" but never give up, tenaciously resisting the opponent's storms time and time again. A general attack, and finally find the enemy's flaw (brained), and win with one blow.
Nothing can make people excited more than this way of victory. Bach is like the strong hero in a hot-blooded comic who can never be killed. This spirit not only inspires him but also infects the people around him.
It's just that the actor himself didn't seem as excited as his companions. Bach was still in a daze when the cheers started.
Zhang Heng saw Bach's expression and had to add, "Excellent sword, you found my only flaw. In view of the situation at the time, this sword was very bold, especially the timing was very good. It was completely unexpected." My prediction is that if it had been earlier or later, you would have lost the battle just now."
"Have I found your flaw?" Bach was doubtful. The main reason was that he was suppressed so miserably by Zhang Heng before that he couldn't see any possibility of winning. That sword was completely a desperate struggle, but in the end he won inexplicably. , combined with Zhang Heng's unremarkable performance in the training camp before, it is difficult not to make Bach suspect that the other party is deliberately letting things slip.
"Isn't it?" Zhang Heng's sincere question made Bach begin to doubt whether he had really hit his luck. After all, the situation at that time was very critical. Bach and Bach didn't have time to think so much and just instinctively made that move. With a sword, maybe Mars suddenly favored him at that moment, allowing him to win this thrilling contest.
Seeing the ecstatic look on his companion's face, Bach couldn't say the next words in his mouth.
"You should also join them in celebrating." Zhang Heng extended his hand.
Bach hesitated for a moment, and finally handed over the training sword and small buckler in his hand, which also meant that he accepted the final result, along with the wooden sword that fell to the ground. Zhang Heng put these things together Returned to his original position.
Since Bach said that Varro's affairs would be wiped out regardless of whether he won or lost in this battle, Zhang Heng naturally really didn't care whether he won or lost. According to his original plan, he would quietly become a free man in the gladiator school. Losing would be worse than winning. is more appropriate.
Therefore, this battle was the best result he was pursuing. Although he lost, Zhang Heng knew from the looks of those Germanic people looking at him that there was no need to worry that the armistice agreement would be invalid, because in the final analysis, the Gladiator School was all about fists. place.
Zhang Heng showed off his muscles and naturally won respect.
…………
Bach's troubles are best solved in Zhang Heng's opinion, but Varro can only look to himself.
Zhang Heng’s impression of Varro is not bad. After all, Varro was the first person he came into contact with in the dungeon. Varro was a Roman citizen before becoming a slave. Zhang Heng’s understanding of Rome was not limited to the history he had learned before. , I basically all know it from Varro’s mouth. Although many things are not used now, but including the extra 24 hours in this copy, it is a full year and a half. Zhang Heng cannot always be in the Gladiator School. Stay put, he will eventually go out, and these things will come in handy then.
As for Varro himself, he is quite strange. Perhaps because the family business was passed down from his father, he is quite skilled in antique appraisal and trading, but he is not as cunning as most businessmen. According to him, his daily work is quite simple. I just go around the streets to collect antiques, and then sell them in stores, and most of them are regular customers.
His simple character also paved the way for him to be deceived later, squandering his family wealth and becoming a slave. After learning the truth, Varro looked more sad than heartbroken. Even Zhang Heng and Bach He didn't even notice the fight between them. When Zhang Heng came back, he stopped crying, but completely closed himself off again, losing all hope, and there was only numbness in his eyes.
Although he continued to train, eat, and sleep as usual every day for the next two weeks, everyone could see that he had completely given up on the increasingly approaching assessment and his own life. In this case, he would only be sold to There is a road in the country.
Gabi was indeed considering letting Varro go to the mine. With the latter's attitude, there was no point in delaying it any longer. However, Bach found him at this moment and asked Gabi to give Varro a little more time. It didn't take too long. More, three days is enough.
Gabi was a little surprised, because as far as he knew, Bach and Varro were not very familiar with each other. He did not expect that the Germanic people would intercede for Varro. However, Gabi did not refuse Bach, because Bach's act of releasing goodwill will undoubtedly bring them closer. The relationship between him and others makes him the legitimate leader of this generation.
Although gladiators are all competitors to each other, it does not mean that there is no friendship, especially sometimes they will appear together. Although a lone wolf is strong, it will be easier if there is help from a pack of wolves.
Gabi was a little curious as to how Bach's muscular head came up with such a thing, but he had other things to worry about right now, so he didn't think much about it. Varo's departure or stay was just a trivial matter.
As time went by, more than twenty days had passed without realizing it, and the deadline given by Mark Rus was getting closer and closer. Bach's training went as smoothly as planned.
But that's why the problem is serious.
Because Gabi knew very well that training Bach according to the normal plan would never be able to raise him to the level of Sisnates. Even if he later manipulated the battle arrangements and found some gladiators whose reputation was greater than their strength to challenge Bach, Build momentum for him, but lies will eventually be exposed one day. The higher the praise, the more painful the fall will be.
If he was unlucky, Bach might even lose his life, and the Gladiator School would suffer even greater losses.
Gabi even considered replacing him with an already famous gladiator, such as Habitus. His popularity has always been good, his winning rate is also good, and his fighting style is also very pleasing to the eye. And although his potential is not as good as Bach's, his strength is above Bach's. Perhaps Habitus can take over for a while to give Bach more room to grow...
Gabi was so absorbed in thinking that she even forgot that Bach was still standing in front of him. It wasn't until the latter's face showed an impatient look that Gabi nodded, "Okay, then give him three more days."
