v3 Chapter 121: Its your turn (1/2)
Marcruz's figure appeared again on the second-floor balcony after forty-nine days, but this time he was changed by two female slaves, a Persian and a Parthian, to serve him in a chair .
But Marcruz didn't seem to be happy because the attendance rate of the Arena has dropped again in the past two months. He had to increase the number of appearances of Habitus, which only slightly restored the audience, but the greedy Ha Bitus also took the opportunity to ask him for more shares and a commitment to cultivate as a school trump card.
On the other hand, Marcruz also heard news from the front line. It is said that the new emperor of the empire, Camoud, seems to have no intention of taking over the stall left by his father, Oller, and is preparing to negotiate with the Germans. This is not good news, because the prisoner of war is also an important part of his gladiator source, especially the high-level gladiator is often selected from the prisoner of war, and he is now busy looking for Sinatus His successor, Marcruz, can only pin his hopes on Bach.
In addition, according to the convention, when the new emperor ascends the throne, a grand gladiator performance will be held. In order to win the favor of the people, this performance is free. The performance venue is in the Flavian Amphitheater, the largest in the entire Roman Empire. The arena, funded by the Royal Family, took 80,000 slaves and took eight years to build. It can accommodate up to 90,000 spectators. Considering its age, it must be said that the arena is an architectural history. miracle.
But there is no arena without a gladiator, which is the highlight of this performance.
Although the Royal also has a gladiator school, it is not large enough to support a grand performance. This requires a few private gladiator schools to come out. Of course, it is not free. After all, gladiators are well known for their expensive consumption. Products, but because this performance is used to win the hearts and minds of the people, it does not have any income itself, so the cost will be borne by the organizers.
It is certainly not easy to ask for money from the nobles and emperors.
If you do n’t need Marcruz, you will lose a lot. If you have offended some big figures, or if the emperor himself would not want to mix in Rome in the future, generally, Marcruz will choose a small loss. Selling human feelings without bleeding too much.
But anyway, this is annoying after all.
Uma Cruz came to inspect the goods with these messy annoyances and dissatisfaction with the new emperor, but he spent a lot of money on the slaves, and also knew the value of the money himself.
顺序 The order of the battle was also drawn by lot. After Gabi gave respectfully to Marcruz, he started to organize the assessment this time.
The rules of battle are similar to those of gladiators, except that they use wooden weapons. In a one-on-one confrontation, each gladiator can only use one weapon. A sneak attack behind it will be scorned by the audience. The other party who has conceded can no longer attack. In addition, a trainer will serve as the referee.
确认 After confirming that everyone understood the rules, Gabi started to roll.
The first pair came to power was a free-lance gladiator named Greif. He had good luck. His opponent was a young man who had just become a gladiator for half a year, a little younger than him, and not too rich in combat experience. However, the final result was that the young gladiator won, but the two men have not fought for a short time, and they have come and gone. In the end, Griffin was caught by the opponent, and ended the battle.
Gabby commented, ”I didn't concentrate enough. It was okay a while ago, but the more you thought about it later, and the attack was not decisive enough, it was good to be cautious, but sometimes the situation on the field requires you to make a quick decision. , Even a wrong decision is probably better than hesitation. ”
