Chapter 813 What Is Drama?

Zhang Heng was willing to give advice to this big man. In addition to having a good impression of Telephilus and being willing to give him some fame, the main reason was that he also needed a heavyweight gladiatorial performance to help him ascend to the throne of champion.

Although the crushing battle all the way seems very enjoyable, it will also make people feel bored once time goes by. The audience will begin to expect that a challenger will appear to pose a threat to Zhang Heng, and now Telephilus plays this role.

And more importantly, he found that he still couldn't refuse. It wasn't that he couldn't bear the fame, but Zhang Heng also told him frankly that if he chose to admit defeat when the match was evenly matched, he would probably have to bear the disappointment of the audience. and angry, in other words he was likely to be asked to be executed by the audience.

Therefore, Telephilos now has no choice but to cooperate with Zhang Heng to complete this exciting battle.

As a result, the audience in the stands could finally feast their eyes on the duel between two superior gladiators. Among them, Zhang Heng had excellent combat skills and agility, while his opponent, the giant Telephilus, although his movements were He can't keep up with Zhang Heng's pace, but he has an almost unparalleled fighting sense.

No matter how Zhang Heng's footsteps changed, he could always complete the defense before the opponent's weapon fell. Sometimes, his big shield would arrive first without even moving his eyes, and the audience would exclaim that it was amazing.

Of course, there are some people who feel strange among them, such as the owner of the gladiator school behind Telephilus, who is full of doubts.

Because he knew the strength of Telephilus very well. When he saw the giant taking the initiative to pick on Zhang Heng, he was so angry that he slapped his thigh continuously. Since Zhang Heng showed his strength, he no longer had extravagant hopes for the championship. He just wanted Telephilus to take advantage of him. He hopes to gain more popularity with this performance so that he can sell tickets in the future, but he doesn't know if the goddess of fate has finally begun to favor him.

The competitors in the same tier as Telephilus, Sartonilos and others, suddenly had inexplicable diarrhea, dropped their chain at the critical moment, and performed poorly. Some of them have not even solved the opponents in the first round. Therefore, the owner of Telephilos I hope that Telephilus will not meet Zhang Heng so early, defeat a few more opponents and show his strength, so that he can stand out in the city of Rome.

But I didn't expect that this big man didn't know what was going on in his head, so he didn't avoid Zhang Heng like the others.

So this is troublesome. The owner of Telephilus is worried that Telephilus will be defeated by Zhang Heng's moves, so that the popularity he has accumulated for a long time will plummet again, and he will miss this rare opportunity.

It's a pity that things have come to this, and he has no other option except praying that Telephilos will not be defeated so quickly.

Unexpectedly, Telephilus actually brought him an unimaginable surprise. The big gladiator was the only one who could fight Zhang Heng back and forth.

But the question is, is this Telephilus or the Telephilus he knows?

You must know that he is very familiar with this ace gladiator under his command. From buying Telephilus to finding a teacher for Telephilus, he has done a lot to tap Telephilos' potential little by little. Put in the effort and time.

In other words, he watched Telephilus grow up little by little until he reached his current height, so no one knew better than him how much weight Telephilus had.

But now he actually saw a strange Telephilus in the arena. Every time he thought it was over, he couldn't stop this move, but Telephilus could always crush him with his outstanding performance. The pessimistic prediction seemed to prove to him what it meant to look at him with admiration.

Could it be that the big man suddenly became enlightened, or that he had been hiding his strength before and that he was actually stronger than he showed? The question is, why is he hiding his strength? Wait, is it because he wants to escape? Or when will he give his master a fatal blow?

The more I think about this question, the more horrifying it becomes.

While the master of Telephilos was worrying about gains and losses in the stands, the battle below was getting more and more intense.

When the giant gladiator once again took Zhang Heng's attack with a flash of inspiration, he finally couldn't help but gasped and said, "But... is it okay? We have been fighting for a long time. I I think the audience should also be satisfied.”

The next moment he finally heard the words he had dreamed of. Zhang Heng nodded and said, "Well, it's almost time to stop."

Telephilos actually felt a sense of relief when he heard this.

There had never been a gladiatorial performance that made him so tired before. Although the scene was evenly matched, he felt that he was no longer a gladiator, but an actor in the troupe, holding a script in his hand and performing step by step. It was hard to endure it. When the show is over, you can think about where you can go to relax next time.

As a result, he didn't expect that his nightmare was not over yet. Then he heard Zhang Heng continue, "The ending should be more dramatic to make it more impressive."

"What...what is drama?" Telephilus has now completely transformed into an obedient and good student, and just wants to end this honorless battle of honor quickly.

"I will attack you later. You use your shield to receive my attack. An accident will happen during the eleventh sword strike. My sword will cut into your shield. At this time, you will have a chance to fight back."

"What, do I still have a chance to fight back?" Telephilos almost cried.

"Yes, if you want to grow, you should suppress it first."

"Then how can I fight back?" Telephilos asked humbly.

"Just follow your usual fighting habits."

Telephilos wanted to say that I have almost forgotten my usual fighting habits due to your guidance. Fortunately, he held back his words and turned into "I understand."

"Don't worry, it will be over soon." Zhang Heng comforted.

"It's best." Telephilus now seriously doubted someone's integrity. After all, he could do anything to force people to act, so he must not be an honest and trustworthy person.

Fortunately, Zhang Heng did take action next, kicking off the final battle with a set of beautiful combos.

Telephilus also had to brace himself and used his big shield to receive Zhang Heng's stormy attack. He was still a little doubtful of Zhang Heng's words, but when he counted to the eleventh sword, Zhang Heng's attack The Persian sword did get stuck on his shield. So Telephilos seized this opportunity. Instead of swinging his sword, he hit it directly with his shield.

This is an on-the-spot judgment of a top gladiator, because the sword swing will take longer, and the shield is closer to Zhang Heng. It will be better to hit the opponent with the shield first to make the opponent lose his balance, and then follow up with the slash.

And this was indeed the case. Zhang Heng was staggered by the impact, and a worried exclamation erupted from the stands. However, Zhang Heng was then seen letting go of the Persian sword that was stuck, and then fell to the ground and avoided it. The next sword strike of Telephilus.

Telephilos reacted quickly and immediately hit Zhang Heng on the ground with his shield, but before hitting him, he politely reminded him, "I hit him."

As a result, he waved the shield in his hand, which was equivalent to opening his arms. The next moment, Zhang Heng quickly got up from the ground without knowing how. Not only did he avoid the falling shield, but he also bullied Telephilos. In front of him, Telephilos was really frightened this time, and subconsciously slashed at Zhang Heng, but his movement was still half a beat too slow. In the end, when his dagger was still a few centimeters away from Zhang Heng's arm, , Zhang Heng had already put another Persian sword against Telephilos' neck.

The referee took a look at the postures of the two men and finally confirmed that Zhang Heng had won. A burst of suppressed cheers suddenly erupted in the stands. As the loser, Telephilus not only did not feel disappointed, but also showed a long-lost smile, as if he was the winner.
