Zhang Heng ushered in a relatively long period of rest after killing the archer, mainly because the last illusions in the hearts of other gladiators were shattered after witnessing his miraculous slash, and no one wanted to be his next opponent.
In the end, the "giant" Telyphilos stood up.
He is a heavy armored gladiator, and unlike other heavy armored gladiators, he does not need to worry about too much defensive equipment affecting his movement because of his sufficient strength, so all parts of his body that can be armored are covered with armor, and his hands are full of armor. He also holds a large shield.
Now he is like a moving fortress.
Apart from Zhang Heng, he is also the best performer on the field. He has already killed two opponents and is unstoppable. However, in the next battle, he knows that he will face the biggest challenge of his gladiator career.
Teryphilos' expression also became serious.
The big man is not stupid. He knows how difficult his opponent is, but he doesn't think he has any chance of winning.
The audience in the stands also became excited at this time, because of the sudden collective depression of Satonillos and others, Telyphilos was probably the first heavyweight opponent Zhang Heng encountered, and the audience was looking forward to the two What kind of sparks can be wiped out by the collision.
Telyphilos was not in a hurry to attack as usual, but put on a defensive posture, and said at the same time, "What did you do to Satonillos and the others? Why do they all look listless?"
"I didn't do anything," Zhang Heng said truthfully, "I have always felt that what is really scary is never the thing that brings fear itself, but the human's own expectations of fear, which will be magnified hundreds or thousands of times Your fear of fear."
Telyphilos seemed to understand half of what he heard, but he didn't bother with the problem, and squatted down, completely hiding his body behind the shield, leaving only half of his head wearing a helmet outside, " Come on, no matter how you win or lose in this battle, it is not in vain for me to come to Rome to be your opponent."
Zhang Heng has always been very polite to polite people, and he also replied after hearing the words, "The observation hole on your helmet is too big, my sword can go in there, but don't worry, I won't attack your eyes That’s it, besides, your turn is too slow, so I will focus on attacking behind you, especially the gap between your helmet and armor, you’d better be prepared.”
Telyphilos was taken aback when he heard the words. He had participated in quite a few battles, and he had never encountered anyone who told his opponent his intention of action before the fight started. This made Teryphilos suspect that Zhang Heng was using Psychological warfare, intending to smack east and west.
But before he had time to think about it, the oriental man had rushed over the next moment.
Telyphilos immediately raised his vigilance, only to find that Zhang Heng did not use his agility to go around behind him as he said before, but rushed directly in front of him.
Is this head-to-head
Trophilos couldn't understand it. His combat skills, agility, speed, balance...may all lag behind Zhang Heng, but he was the only one who had an advantage in the attribute of strength. Trophilos didn't understand that Zhang Heng Why does Heng use his own weaknesses to attack his strengths? Could it be that the oriental man in front of him is extraordinarily arrogant
Although his heart was full of doubts, Telyphilos was still ready, leaning his shoulders forward, ready to hit the impact, and the other hand also clenched the weapon, ready to lose balance when Zhang Heng's body was hit. Time to attack.
Telyphilos knew that the opportunity was only for a moment, but as long as he could seize this opportunity, he might be able to take the initiative in the next battle, but then he felt the shield in his hand sank.
Zhang Hengchong rushed over, but he didn't attack him. Instead, he jumped up from the ground, stepped on the edge of his shield, and then used his strength to pass over his head, and at the same time swung the Persian sword in his hand.
The bold change of the other party caught Tephilos a little off guard. As the rabbit rose and the falcon fell, Zhang Heng had already circled behind him. So Trophilos' heart sank, but at the critical moment, he still remembered Zhang Heng's previous reminder. At this time, he didn't have time to judge whether the reminder was intentionally misleading, and quickly put the dagger on the ground. behind the neck.
As a result, the audience in the stands saw a scene that left them dumbfounded. Zhang Heng jumped over the squatting Telyphilos. Before they had time to applaud this imaginative dash, they saw Telyphilos As if he had eyes behind his back, he blocked Zhang Heng's assault with a dagger.
The first round of the fight between the two was like superficial water. Zhang Heng missed a hit and took the initiative to distance himself from Theryphilos. The giant, who was covered in cold sweat, also quickly turned his body with his big shield, and the two sides re-entered. standoff stage.
Although it was only for a short moment, the audience in the stands applauded this wonderful scene one after another, including His Majesty the Emperor, who did not hesitate to give their praise. This praise is not only for Zhang Heng, but also for Zhang Heng. Constant rival Telyphilos.
As a result, the giant's weather-beaten face couldn't help but blush like a little girl.
Teryphilos knew very well that this seemingly evenly divided round was not a true reflection of his own strength. If Zhang Heng hadn't reminded him, he would definitely not be able to keep up with the opponent's movements. Already defeated.
Telyphilos now understands why Satonillos and others are so afraid of Zhang Heng. It was already stressful to watch Zhang Heng fight from a distance before, but it was not until he faced Theryphilos in person. To find out how strong Zhang Heng is, the two sides are not at the same level at all.
The ridiculous thing is that he still had fantasies before, thinking that as long as he performed perfectly, plus a little luck, he would not necessarily lose. However, the cruel reality told him that this was just his dream. If we continue to fight, we intend to throw away our weapons and surrender.
However, Zhang Heng said at this time, "Want to admit defeat? You can't be so delicate."
"Of course not," Teryphilos said angrily, "but it's meaningless to fight like this. I admit that I can't beat you, but I don't need your pity. I deliberately let myself look good when I lose."
"Do you think I'm giving you advice just to make you lose better?" Zhang Heng asked back.
"Otherwise, are you trying to make fun of me?" Telyphilos said angrily.
Zhang Heng shook his head, "Look around you, look at the spectators in the stands, they have waited for so many days just for a wonderful gladiatorial performance, if they can't satisfy them, they won't let us go, I originally hoped that Satonillos and the others would have some courage, but now it seems that they have no hope, so I can only rely on you now, come on, let us join hands to present a wonderful gladiatorial performance for the audience .”
