The two people in the center of the arena were panting violently, their chests heaving.
The battle has been going on for quite some time, and it can be seen from the enthusiastic reaction of the audience in the stands that they are very satisfied with this match.
After just a few simple attempts, Bach and Rufus immediately fell into a fight.
Muscle to muscle, slashing to slashing, the sound of weapons and shields clashing constantly, blood and sweat flying together, the entire arena is full of male hormones.
Rufus had to admit that he had somewhat underestimated the rookie in front of him. Bach might be a little rough in fighting skills, which is also a common problem of rookies, but this person was born with a sense of danger.
Every time he set a trap, he saw through it at the last moment, and the cunning Germans would use his trap against him in turn, as evidenced by the wound on Rufus' waist.
Bach's sword was so fierce that it almost cut his bone, but after the referee stopped the inspection, he announced that the fight could continue.
Rufus was used to it.
This is the fate of a gladiator, unless the wounded can no longer move or one side surrenders, otherwise the fight will continue.
Rufus is also used to fighting with injuries, but the wound on his waist did affect his next actions, especially the dodging action. Fortunately, Bach on the opposite side was not much better, and the latter's calf was also injured before. He was stabbed.
The two are now just back on the same starting line.
In the ensuing battle, both sides deliberately took advantage of each other's weaknesses. Rufus forced Bach to put more weight on the injured leg, while Bach forced Rufus to twist his waist continuously.
Blood slid down Rufus' and Bach's thighs, down his ankles, and then dripped onto the arena floor in a brutal, gory spectacle that thrilled thousands of people present.
However, this fanatical atmosphere did not affect Rufus, he was still staring at his opponent hard, the expression on Bach's face made Bruce feel a little uncomfortable, not only because this newcomer was not nervous, the most important thing was that Bach Looking at him without any emotion, it was like staring at a dead person.
Rufus was a little baffled. There were indeed some gladiators in the gladiator school who fought against each other for various reasons. For the sake of attendance, the arena would deliberately stir up some grievances, but Bach had not been here for a long time. In closed training, Rufus couldn't remember when he provoked the Germans.
But no matter what, he must accept the victory of today's battle.
Rufus said to Bach, "The game is over, boy, I'm going to be serious next time, if you don't want to die, remember to kneel and surrender to me."
Bach grinned grinning upon hearing the words, "So this is your last words?"
The one who answered him was the trident in Rufus' hand. The next moment Rufus really started to push forward as he said before. The black sickle used amazing willpower to overcome the pain caused by the waist injury. When both parties had reached their physical limits, he actually forcibly lifted himself back to the full state.
So the battle situation also began to change, leaning towards Rufus' side. Not long after, Bach was also stabbed in the left arm, and lost the buckler in his hand.
Seeing this scene, those who supported Rufus immediately stood up, cheering wave after wave.
The face of Marcruz in the auditorium suddenly became very ugly, and he looked angrily at Gabi, "What's the matter, didn't you tell me that Rufus is the most suitable opponent for Bach's opening match?" Is it? As a result, I only saw that he has been beaten by Rufus. If he only has this strength, how can we praise him as the successor of Cisnatus? I spent such a large sum of money to buy one Such trash?"
Gabi also looked a little strange, he has been in charge of Bach's training, and Rufus was also brought out by him back then, and both of them are very clear, the reason for this arrangement is after careful consideration, not that Bach You must win, but even if you lose, you shouldn't be so embarrassed.
"I... don't know what happened, but I can assure you that Bach's strength is more than that, and I don't know why he became like this, what he was thinking, but deliberately losing this duel is not for him Words do no good."
While the two were talking, the battle was gradually coming to an end. The situation on the field became more and more unfavorable for Bach. He lost his shield and he was even more embarrassed. In contrast, Rufus became more and more courageous as he fought, with the fishnet in his hand. Also ready to go.
Finally he waited until the moment when Bach's footsteps were completely scattered. Rufus caught the opponent's flaw and threw the fishing net in his hand, but the moment the fishing net was released, he felt an uncomfortable feeling in his heart for some reason. , Immediately afterwards, he saw that Bach changed his previous appearance of having nowhere to escape, and turned into a cheetah, which escaped the envelopment of the fishing net and ran directly into his arms.
Rufus wanted to raise his armguard, but it was too late after all. The next moment Bach had already rushed in front of him. At the same time, he thrust the short sword in his hand into Rufus' neck fiercely, stabbing him directly. pierced the latter's throat.
The previous cheers from the stands were suddenly suffocated.
The audience was stunned by this sudden turn.
Blood gushed out of Rufus' mouth, his eyes were full of horror and bewilderment, he opened his mouth to say something, but he could only make a sound of unknown meaning
But Bach knew what Rufus wanted to ask, and leaned into the ear of the latter, "You wonder why I killed you? It's very simple, I checked your resume, five years ago, you participated in the war against us, presumably I have also slaughtered many of my people, so let's pay off the debt now, even if I can't kill you on the battlefield, we can still meet in the arena, can't we?"
A look of remorse flashed in Rufus' eyes. He didn't regret joining the army, but regretted that he didn't know enough about Bach before. Otherwise, even if he would lose this battle, he could still save his life as long as he surrendered in time.
The audience on the field did not know the conversation between the two, and after a brief silence, new cheers broke out immediately.
Except for the people who bet on Rufus who hugged their heads in pain, most of the rest were watching the excitement. Seeing that Bach won the game through a wonderful reversal, he immediately sent applause and screams to the Germans. Rufus in a pool of blood, and it won't be long before anyone remembers him.
Marcruz in the stands immediately heaved a sigh of relief, and the heart that was hanging before was put back in his stomach. Although Rufus' accidental death made him feel a little bit pained, he still cared more about Bach's heart in comparison. Tomorrow's star, besides, this is an arena, and it's normal for a person to die.
Only Gabi seemed to think of something, and frowned. He probably knew why Bach's performance was so unbearable before. The Germans were obviously using this performance to paralyze Rufus, seeking a chance to kill him with one blow, and not begging for mercy. The choice of admitting defeat, even deliberately sold several injuries.
But he won the duel after all, and Gabi only warned Bach with his eyes in the end.
