Although the retirement of Cisnatus has brought a big impact to the Victor Arena, the scene of hard to get a ticket in the past, and the stands are full of seats can no longer be seen, but the foundation of the arena is still there. Put it there, and Marcruz runs the second largest gladiator school in the entire city of Rome.
In addition to Cisnatus, there are Habitus, Nashika, Rufus and other less popular gladiators. In addition, a large number of core forces with good strength can also attract quite a lot of people. audience.
Therefore, as of the day of the performance, two-thirds of the seats in the stands of the arena had been sold, but Marcruz was still a little dissatisfied, and expressed his welcome and appreciation to the nobles and their families who came to watch the match. After paying his respects, he returned to his seat, his brows furrowed again.
In addition to the problem of audience loss, Marcruz is also having a headache for the gladiator show hosted by the royal family more than a month later.
Aside from the possible loss of property, he knew that there were other troubles waiting for him. The gladiator school he ran was currently the second largest in Rome, but it was now entering a period of decline. Several competitors behind are eyeing.
Therefore, the performance more than a month later may also have other meanings in it. Not only is the new emperor announcing the arrival of his rule, but it may also be a reshuffling of the gladiator schools, although Marcrus is now There are a lot of cards in hand, but the most critical one is missing.
The biggest trump card.
According to the information he got, many gladiator schools have unearthed very powerful newcomers. The retreat of Cisnatus means that the gladiators have also entered a new era of heroes fighting together. Everyone is messing around in their own territory, and it is rare to get together now. If any gladiator can stand out and take the final crown, then a new king will be born.
And the gladiator school behind him will also become the biggest winner.
Why Marcruz has been urging Gabi to find Cisnatus's successor before, and even the death order has such factors in it. He doesn't know that Bach will be more secure after training for a period of time, but he An impending crisis has been sensed.
As a courageous businessman, he knew that he had to make a move, but in his heart, he didn't know if Bach could beat opponents from other gladiator schools. Maybe he should talk to Habitus again and make a slight concession. Some…
Just when Marcruz was deep in thought, the following performances also began. The first to appear was a small orchestra. They stood on a slowly rising platform in the center of the arena and played a march.
After that, a group of antelopes suddenly ran out of the gate on one side of the arena. They must have been frightened by the cheers from the audience, and began to flee around the arena. One of them wanted to jump. To the audience stand, but the arena obviously has corresponding security measures.
A wall of about 3 meters is built under the bottom floor. In addition, there are large nets fixed on the pillars. These nets can block wild animals on the one hand, and keep the gladiators under the sight of the audience on the other hand. No one felt scared when they saw the jumping antelope, and even some noble ladies stood up and looked curiously.
Animal shows have been part of the gladiatorial displays since the time of Caesar, usually prior to gladiator fights.
Unlike what is shown in most film and television works, gladiators will not end up fighting these beasts head-on, which is the job of gladiators. In addition to the execution of prisoners that Zhang Heng and Valo saw before, the arena will also arrange hunting and animal taming performances, as well as some wild beasts fighting between wild beasts to entertain the audience.
What everyone sees now is a hunting performance between a hunter and an antelope, and a little later it will be a fight between a lion and a bear, and finally the winner of them will face the gladiator.
The arrangement of the whole performance is getting more and more exciting, and the emotions of the audience are getting more and more tense, especially when the gladiator comes on stage, it reaches a peak. Both men and women shout the name of the gladiator together, watching him and the people in front of him The ferocious beasts fought, dodging left and right, avoiding the attacks of sharp claws again and again, leaving scars on the prey with the weapons in their hands.
And his opponents became more and more manic.
There is nothing more charming than looking directly into the eyes of the god of death, constantly mocking death and escaping from its hands. The women screamed for him and were willing to dedicate themselves to him, not inferior to the most ardent idol fans in the future , although the face behind the helmet was not handsome, it could even be called ugly, three long scars almost destroyed the left side of his face, which was left by a cunning cheetah.
However, in the eyes of women, there is nothing in this world that is better than these scars.
At least in the arena at this moment, he is the dream lover of all women, as the poet Venaris said, what girls love is not his face but his sword.
Finally, the experienced gladiator succeeded again in killing the beast in front of him.
He plunged his sword into the ground in front of him, took off his armor, and enjoyed the cheers and triumphant songs of his victory.
After him it was the turn of the gladiators.
Zhang Heng and Walo were not among them, their gladiatorial performance was put on the third day, and they didn't even go to the arena, but there was a much-anticipated duel in the afternoon.
Bach and Rufus.
Black Sickle is a celebrity in Victor's arena. In contrast, most people have just heard the name Bach, and he is a rookie.
However, this time, the Victor Arena uncharacteristically put him in the advertisement, obviously thinking highly of him.
However, the audience is obviously more willing to believe in Black Sickle, who has proven himself more than once in the arena, which can be clearly seen from the odds of both sides.
Yes, gambling has been inseparable from sports since ancient times. In the arena, you can not only enjoy gladiator performances, but also bet on promising gladiators.
On the other side, Varo was also asking Zhang Heng who was training with him, "Who do you prefer?"
"I haven't seen the skill of Rufus the Black Sickle, but since Gabi arranged it like this, it means that he is optimistic about Bach, so if I bet, I will bet on Bach." Zhang Heng said.
"So Rufus is doomed?"
"If Bach successfully completes all the training, it will be about the same, but now Rufus still has a chance." Zhang Heng said, since Zhang Heng got the news from the old trainer that the Flavi Amphitheater will hold a gladiatorial performance. I also know why Marcruz is so eager.
But this time the gladiatorial performance might be different from what he imagined.
