"Bach, rival Rufus."
As soon as Gabi's words fell, there was a sound of surprise from the newcomer's side, and they couldn't help whispering.
Gabi's appearance here today actually exceeded many people's expectations, because although everyone present passed the final assessment and became a gladiator, logically speaking, most of the gladiators would not appear so soon. After several months of training, of course, some unlucky ghosts who are not very optimistic may be pulled out early, and the risk of death for these people will be high.
But Bach is the strongest among the rookies in this class, so it is impossible for him to be given up so early.
And you must know that his opponent is Rufus, Rufus known as the Black Sickle.
Rufus' profession is a protector, which is considered a branch of net fighters, but it is relatively rare. His weapons also include tridents and fishing nets, but in addition, he has a metal sleeve and a full body armor , the sleeve covers the entire arm, and can be used as a shield to block damage together with the armor, which solves the defect of the net fighter's lack of protection. At the same time, the metal sleeve will also be equipped with a sickle-shaped sharp blade, which can also be Use as a weapon.
Unlike the net fighter, the protector is a profession that everyone doesn't want to encounter.
Besides, Rufus himself is still the best protector. Although he is not as famous as Habitus, his popularity is almost equal to that of Galba. Basically, Garba will be chosen.
Because a large part of Galba's fame is related to his age and the time he worked in the Victor Arena, but the name of the Black Sickle was actually earned by Rufus himself, and he is 26 years old this year. Is the golden age of a gladiator, with three years of gladiator experience, in addition to a career in the army, body and mind are at their peak.
In contrast, Bach was just a rookie on the arena for the first time.
No matter how talented he is, no matter how favored he is by Marcruz, it's still a bit too much to face a tough hand like Black Scythe from the very beginning.
If it weren't for the fact that Gabi customized a lot of targeted training for Bach before, all the newcomers would think that Bach had offended the head of the gladiator school somewhere, and would let the latter retaliate against him like this.
However, Bach himself showed no fear when he heard the words, and snorted, "What kind of black sickle, he is unlucky for me."
Because Gabi replaced the final assessment opponent with an official gladiator before, there was some friction between the newcomer and the old gladiator, and the atmosphere was not very friendly. Bach, as the representative of the newcomer, naturally did not talk about demeanor at this time, especially What's more, the Germans are not polite people.
But Black Sickle is much more stable, without any provocative actions or words, but a look of joy flashed across his face when he heard the battle arrangement, and the people around him also congratulated him one after another, in their eyes , Black Sickle was lucky this time, and he didn't face any difficult characters.
Although they have also heard some rumors about Bach, including how Marcrus values him and wants him to be Cisnatus' successor, but this does not change the fact that Bach is a newcomer.
If Black Sickle can't even take down a rookie who is playing for the first time, then his reputation is really in vain.
On the other side, Gabi completely ignored the reactions and actions of the people below, and continued to read the arrangement of the battle.
After a series of unfamiliar names were called, two more familiar names entered the ears of the newcomers.
"Zhang Heng, Walo, Nashika, Sulpiqilu... Twelve people fought in a melee."
If the newcomers were surprised when Bach's name appeared before, now they look at Zhang Heng and Valo with sympathy.
Twelve-player melee is a veteran program of the Victor Arena, and it is also one of the most popular programs among the audience.
The reason is very simple, because the twelve-person melee is lively and cruel enough.
The specific rules are very simple. Twelve people form a team in twos and fight with another group. The winner will find the target of the next team. At the same time, two or more teams are not allowed to attack the same team. The squad is the winner.
This is not only a test of fighting skills, but also requires the tacit understanding of the partner. In addition, the wheel battle also needs enough endurance to support it.
The two teams who fought to the end often had a lot of wounds on their bodies, and the fighting afterward was even more exciting to the senses.
Of course, there are also many skills in the arrangement of the twelve-man melee. For example, the general gladiator school will arrange a group with relatively outstanding strength to attract the audience's attention. To ensure the enjoyment of the duel, in the end, in order to reduce the casualties and control costs of star gladiators, some newcomers and ordinary combinations will be added.
And Zhang Heng and Valo obviously played the last role.
Among them, it is not surprising that Varo was named, because it is said that he did not survive a few tricks in the hands of Habitus. It's normal, it's probably impossible to win, but if he can show some characteristics, maybe the audience won't ask to kill him, and Zhang Heng's selection surprised all the rookies.
Because Zhang Heng performed well in the final assessment. He defeated the well-known Garba. He is also one of the few rookies who passed the test directly by defeating his opponent. Coupled with his oriental identity, he should still have certain training value. , I don't know why they were also divided into the twelve-man melee.
And among the opponents they have to face is Nasika, who is even more famous than Rufus, and his temperament is much more brutal than Rufus, which can be seen from his nickname "Bonebreaker", Nasika He is a frequent visitor in the twelve-person melee, and because of his fierce attack, he is always accompanied by the wailing of splashing flesh and bones, but he is quite popular with the audience, and the arena has also sold a lot of tickets because of him.
So Varo felt a little nervous when he heard his name, especially when Nashika looked in their direction and made a thumbs down gesture, which often represented a signal of death in the arena.
However, Valo quickly noticed Zhang Heng. When he heard his name, Zhang Heng’s expression hardly changed. Habitus brought trouble, and Valo felt inexplicably more stable in his heart.
Anyway, this is not the worst situation, at least he and Zhang Heng are more familiar than other people, and they can have a tacit understanding when they work together, but compared to other groups, they are undoubtedly at a disadvantage. I want to find a temple to ask why my luck has been so bad recently.
