Chapter 779 Let’s Consider This a Win
Varro didn't expect that he would become so popular one day.
When the referee made a sign of war, at least four groups of people rushed towards him, which almost scared the heart of the former antique dealer out of his throat. Fortunately, in the end, only the closest group was able to fight with them. right to fight.
Nasika also looked a little unhappy, because in his opinion, Zhang Heng and Varo were destined not to survive the first round, which meant that at least in this twelve-person melee, he would have no chance to teach them a lesson. The other party.
But at this time, the battle had begun, and his companions reminded him to be prepared to face the enemy. The group of opponents they faced was not bad at strength. If they were not careful, they might capsize, so Nasika could only He looked away from Zhang Heng and Varo.
Twelve-person melee actually involves strategies.
It does not mean that the faster you defeat your opponent, the better, because the group with the strongest combat strength is likely to have to go through more rounds of battles and consume more. On the contrary, if you are lucky, you can go straight through as long as you defeat the opponent in the first round. finals.
Of course, if there is no opponent in the next round, the person who wins first will have more adjustment and rest time. In addition, the loser can also gain the qualification to be resurrected by defeating other losers and challenge the final winner. .
In short, this is not a pure gladiatorial show of strength. Everyone must formulate corresponding fighting methods based on their own strength to make the battle rhythm as beneficial as possible to their own side. If you want to win the final victory, It also requires a little luck.
Like the group that fought against Zhang Heng and Varro, they were not in a hurry. They just maintained a certain amount of pressure on the two to avoid being judged as a passive fight by the referee. They did not press heavily. They obviously made up their mind how long they could delay. How long to delay.
After all, Zhang Heng and Varo's team is recognized as the weakest team. The most important thing is that they have a double swordsman and a net fighter. They are both lightly equipped gladiators and are not even equipped with a shield.
Therefore, the team playing against them obviously feels that they are certain to defeat them and can end the battle at any time. It is not easy to find an ideal opponent like this. If they are solved too quickly, they will have to fight hard again and have head-to-head confrontation with other teams.
Of course, Varro could feel the paddling on the other side, which made him feel a little relieved.
Although Zhang Heng said that their goal is the final victory, Varro obviously does not believe it too much. He feels that a more realistic goal is to show his strength as much as possible in the first round of the showdown. Of course, victory in the first round can They still have to fight for it, but there is a high probability that they will lose in the end, but this can at least increase their chances of survival.
But what Varro didn't expect was that the two people on the opposite side were paddling in a tacit understanding, but Zhang Heng had no intention of accepting the kindness and rushed over with his two swords in hand.
His speed was not very fast at first, as if he was walking, but as his pace became larger and larger, his speed also increased rapidly in a short period of time, as if he was stepping on some kind of drum beat, and the muscles on his body It also became tense.
The two people on the opposite side were stunned when they saw this. Like Varro, they didn't understand why Zhang Heng wanted to break the balance between the two parties. This was of no benefit to him at all. However, as Zhang Heng approached, the two people A strong sense of danger suddenly emerged in their hearts.
This was something that was impossible to happen. After all, Varro was in a daze for a while before he realized what was happening. He was quite amused and rushed over immediately, but there was still a small distance between him and Zhang Heng. Zhang Heng is now one against two, and he is just a newcomer with little reputation. Logically speaking, he should not be given such a strong sense of oppression.
The scene that happened next left Varo stunned.
Obviously the two people opposite had sensed the danger and put up a defensive posture, but it turned out to be of no use. Zhang Heng knocked the weapon out of one of them's hands with the first blow, and then kicked the other person to the ground. At this time, the second man had just raised his weapon, and another knife in Zhang Heng's hand was already placed on his neck. He also hoped that his companion lying on the ground would struggle again, but unfortunately the latter's situation was the same as him. , as soon as I got up, I felt a chill on the back of my neck.
"Does this count as a win?" Zhang Heng asked the referee who was also stunned.
In fact, the vast majority of the audience in the stands did not know what happened in the battle just now. Their eyes were basically focused on Nasika's group. After all, Shattered Bones was the most famous person on the field, and also Favorite to win.
On Zhang Heng's side, because the battle was boring, they were not famous people, so they naturally had very few followers, but no one expected that Zhang Heng and Varo's team would be the first to win the first round, and the whole process was fast. It was astonishing that it happened in the blink of an eye. Even if the people here noticed, they only saw Zhang Heng rushing forward alone, and the battle was over in the next moment.
What happened in the middle is confusing.
Marcus is one of them. He and Gabi are discussing how to determine the lineup for the crucial gladiatorial performance more than a month later. Among them is the name of Broken Bone, so the two are also focusing on investigating Nasika. In his performance, Marcus really didn't even look at Zhang Heng and Varro. Now he was also stunned and asked Gabby, "What happened."
The latter is responsible for the management of the entire gladiator school. Of course, he cannot just stare at one person. He has long developed the habit of watching six directions. Therefore, he has been paying attention to the situation on the field. Because of this, he is now staring intently. He was looking at Zhang Heng, and Zhang Heng happened to be looking in his direction, and their eyes met from afar.
Gabby snorted, "I didn't expect that I would make a mistake one day."
"What do you mean?" Marcus frowned.
"This Oriental man hid his strength in previous training and assessments." Gabi explained that he is a person who hates accidents. There were accidents in the previous battle between Bach and Rufus, although Bach still won in the end. Victory, but killed Rufus, and now the accident that happened to Zhang Heng was obviously even bigger.
"Oh?" Marcus became interested after hearing this. He had not had a deep impression of Zhang Heng before and had not paid much attention to this Oriental. He had even forgotten how the latter performed when he passed the examination, so he continued to ask. He said, "How much strength does he hide? Can he be included in the lineup for more than a month?"
Gabby pondered for a moment, "Although Julius and Asclei are not famous, they can be considered powerful. Even Habitus can't kill them in one breath. Of course, this is because they are not familiar with their own skills." It also has something to do with the opponent's carelessness in underestimating the enemy... I don't know, it's hard to say now, but you might as well keep watching. Now that he has decided to show off his skills, he should be ready to win the final victory in this twelve-man melee."
However, Marcus thought of another thing. He slapped his thigh and said in annoyance, "If I had known, I should have promoted it with him." After a pause, he asked again, "Who is better between him and Nasika?" ?”
"I think we will know about this soon."
Sorry, there is only one update today.
