Chapter 806 Peacemaker

The next day's gladiatorial performance ended in calm, without any surprises or twists and turns.

Basically, the powerful gladiators who were previously optimistic have entered the final battle list on the third day, and only ten people are different from the ones predicted before the show started.

Among them, gladiators from various gladiator schools in the city accounted for the vast majority of the positions on the list, while outside the city, except for those with extraordinary talents like the giant Telephilus, only a dozen people made it to the final list. .

This result was quite beyond the expectations of the gladiators outside the city. As the unlucky guy who went to challenge Sartonilos that night and got his nose blown out said, these gladiators outside the city had to perform everywhere and challenge the locals. The masters should have more actual combat experience than these "pampered" gladiators in the city, and their living environment is more difficult and logically more demanding.

But the reality is extremely cruel.

What holds an overwhelming advantage are these "toys for ladies and ladies" that they originally looked down upon.

But this is actually quite normal. The living conditions of gladiators in these schools in the city are much better than those outside the city. Naturally, they have more time to train instead of wasting their nutrition on the way back and forth. Better bodies are stronger, and there are specialized doctors to deal with their injuries.

Of course, the most important point is that the gladiators in the city are generally worth more than those outside the city. In terms of average price, one gladiator in the city is worth more than two gladiators outside the city.

So the slave traders were naturally willing to sell better and stronger gladiator embryos to the gladiator schools in the city. There were even gladiators outside the city who became famous and were sold to the gladiator schools in the city by their owners at high prices. In contrast, gladiators outside the city The fighter's extra combat experience can't even out the huge gap between the two sides.

So the current results are not surprising.

After the performance, Zhang Heng took the gladiator school's donkey cart back to his residence as usual.

He deliberately chose a later time, so that most of the audience had gone home, so as to avoid harassment by some extreme admirers. Habitus and Bach also joined him.

By the end of the second day, there were only four people left in Victor Arena.

Zhang Heng, Bach, Habitus, and an old gladiator called Mulkazan.

However, even though everyone was in the same arena, there was not much conversation along the way. Perhaps because they will be their opponents when they take the field tomorrow, the atmosphere is somewhat silent.

Zhang Heng did not expect that the first person to speak was Habitus.

"Satonilos and Danaos are discussing how to deal with you."

Hearing this, Bach showed a sneer at the corner of his mouth, "Isn't it a little late to try to build a relationship now? Isn't everyone already aware of this?"

"But you don't know what the specific plans of Sartonilos and Danaos are." Habitus said expressionlessly.

"Oh?" Zhang Heng leaned back again.

"I know you don't like me, and to be honest, I don't like you either." Habitus looked into Bach's eyes, "If I have a chance, I want to punch your arrogant face, and you ," Habitus looked at Zhang Heng again, "You think you are better than everyone else and don't take us people seriously, but in the end we are all from a gladiator school. If you win the championship, Vic The multi-arena attendance will definitely increase, and as much as I hate to admit it, it’s good for me too.”

"so?"

"So I pretended to accept Sartonilos' invitation at the Flavi Amphitheatre, just to get inside them." Habitus said, "They planned to prepare a herb that can make people weak. Sneak it into your lunch at noon tomorrow."

"There are such herbs?" Bach was a little surprised when he heard this.

"This is Rome, not the backcountry where you, a barbarian, lived before. There are so many things you haven't seen before." Habitus laughed.

When Bach heard this, he also said angrily, "We barbarians from remote areas will not just use some dirty tricks when we can't defeat others. What glory will it bring even if we win?"

Habitus heard this and disagreed, "If you have been a gladiator long enough and experienced enough battles, you will know that living is the most important thing, and the best way to survive is to keep winning. important."

"No wonder I don't like you very much when I see you. Although your strength is good, there is an unpleasant smell permeating your body." The Germanic man spat outside the donkey cart.

"You'd better keep your mouth clean," Habitus's face darkened, "otherwise you just pray that you don't meet me tomorrow."

"Oh, I've been waiting for a long time to avenge the first time we met." Bach stood up from his seat without any fear on his face.

Another gladiator named Mulkazan saw that the situation was getting worse and had to act as a peacemaker. He stood up and stood in front of Bach and Habitus, and said, "Okay, everyone Stop arguing and calm down. Even if you have any grievances, you can leave them to the arena to resolve them."

Bach snorted from his nostrils and was about to sit down, but he didn't expect that the next moment, Mulkazan, who acted as peacemaker, took out a small knife from somewhere and put it on his chest.

"It has nothing to do with you. If you know what's going on, don't move." Mulkazan warned.

Just when Mulkazan took out the knife, Habitus also took out a small razor and rushed towards Zhang Heng on the other side.

All this happened in a flash of lightning. Just a moment ago, Habitus had just confessed that he was hanging out with Santonilos and others to find out how the latter planned to deal with Zhang Heng. As a result, he suddenly disappeared without any warning the next moment. Falling out.

He and Mulkazan had a clear division of labor. One person restrained Bach, while the other pounced on the unsuspecting Zhang Heng.

However, when Habitus met Zhang Heng's eyes, he had an unpleasant feeling in his heart, because there was no panic or panic in the other person's eyes.

Just looked at him quietly.

Immediately afterwards, Habitus saw the flash of the knife, and the two fingers holding the razor fell to the ground. It was not until blood spurted out from the severed part that Habitus realized the pain.

Although he had already imagined that Zhang Heng was very powerful, he was more cautious and tried to numb the opponent's nerves with words first, and then moved his hands, but he still did not expect that the opponent's knife could be so fast.
