Rebirth of the Viking King

Chapter 640 63

Everything that happened next was a passing thought for Sartre.

Any event in the hands of the Romans would be packed with a rather cumbersome package to create a solemn sense of ceremony.

This year's show in the arena is "Rise of Kingdoms."

Before the gladiators appeared, the drum and trumpeters lined up to play a unison. Then several drama actors came out of the factory to introduce to all the audience the life experience of XX, the founding emperor of Rome.

While the performance was going on, Crassus's retainers, all covered in golden armor, had lined up in two columns and ran out of the side door of the arena. Everyone held shining silver weapons in their hands, and their high-spirited fighting spirit looked very much like the founding emperors imagined by Roman citizens.

The reason why the annual duel event in the Colosseum attracts all the citizens of the entire Western Continent to watch is that the level of care in its "production" is by no means comparable to that of ordinary battles.

After finally gathering a large number of nobles from the Western Continent, the rulers would certainly not let go of this rare publicity opportunity. In almost every duel event, the Romans would create a group of positive characters and a group of negative characters, dress up the two villains as they looked in history, and then team up to fight.

Apart from Constantinople, no other city in the world can see such a detailed duel.

Sartre clenched his fists and looked at the deep darkness in the center of the field with bated breath.

Reid, who entered the arena as a free man, could not be a Roman soldier. He must have played the role of "cannon fodder in the rise of the emperor."

When the sunlight finally reflected the form, many gladiators wearing ragged clothes stood on the platform slowly rising from the ground.

According to the story rules set by the host, this was the first group of enemies that King XX's army encountered after leaving the city-state, a group of dwarfs who blocked the road and robbed them, and the barbarian mercenaries hired by this group of dwarves.

The story was indeed far-fetched, but no one in the enthusiastic audience cared.

The seats Phoenix chose for the Vikings were quite good, and those seated in front of him, around him, and around him were all the upper-class nobles of Constantinople.

The polite wealthy merchants and aristocrats who had been polite before entering the venue had completely torn off their usual masks. They waved their gambling tickets and roared the name of the hero Zendaya.

It is not difficult to see that almost all of them put silver coins on the hero side.

Among the crowd, Sartre, who was too calm, was completely isolated from the surrounding frenzy. The noble stand was not far from the venue. From a high position, he could clearly see every face in the center of the arena.

He immediately locked onto a tall young man with an indifferent expression.

There is no other reason.

This man stood among the crowd of mortals. His long bright golden hair and height of nearly 2 meters made him extremely conspicuous.

Sartre, Loki, Blind Mountain, and Green are companions who grew up together.

Even though the two companions had been dead for a long time, their appearance was still clearly engraved in Sartre's mind.

"picture"

"There are nine images!"

Upon discovering the last remaining member of the Blood Dove tribe, Sartre's first reaction was to immediately send a carrier pigeon to contact Loki.

He knew that Loki had not given up searching for Green's whereabouts in recent years.

Regardless of their childhood friendship, before the Battle of Hanshui Village, Siren Gelin was the only helper who rushed to the aid of Hanshui Village.

In life, it is easy to put the icing on the cake, but not everyone can do it easily, but providing help in times of need is not easy for everyone.

Especially when it's possible that your name will be used.

Blind Mountain, Hummel, and the rest of the Blood Dove tribe will die as well, but as long as there is a glimmer of hope, Loki will definitely hope to find "Siren" Gelin again.

But now, this young man's fate is only in his own hands.

With a high-pitched roar, the golden Roman cavalry waved their flags and galloped.

The flowing steel river composed of 26 cavalry is not strong, but their leader Zendaya is a former champion player after all.

He had a stable number of financial backers among the upper class of Constantinople.

After the cavalry launched a charge, coupled with the shouts of thousands of spectators in the venue, it actually had the momentum of a legionary charge.

Opposite the cavalry, the leprechauns and free warriors were also lined up and waiting.

What Roman citizens expected to see was a wonderful showdown, not a one-sided massacre. Even in the first warm-up show after the opening, the opponent cannot be too weak.

The arena administrators had their own reasons for choosing to capture this group of leprechauns.

By AD 810, Celtic druids were almost extinct, but this group of demihuman species, which was only as tall as a human waist, still existed in the eastern Ingland Islands.

He has his own reasons for surviving to this day.

Seeing the cavalry charging forward with their lances raised, the leprechauns shouted loudly in high-pitched voices as they broke free from their chains. What they said was a kind of prophecy that ordinary humans could not understand at all. They were far more like beasts than humans.

The low body shape is not a flaw when facing cavalry charges, but will become an extremely effective cover. It was almost impossible for the Roman cavalry to hit the leprechauns with their spears. When the cavalry runs, the 40 kilograms of heavy armor carried on their bodies will create a huge impact.

Seeing that he could not penetrate the defense line formed by the leprechauns with his spear, Zendaya raised his spear and tried to crush it with the iron hooves of the army horse.

However, he never expected that this would fall into the trap set by the leprechauns.
