Chapter 179: Soronis
Fearing that he would be too late, the magistrate was killed by the ruthless Quintus, so he hurriedly followed Ashur all the way and entered the underground waterways of Capua City.
The dark and gloomy sewers were filled with a mixture of stenches, and the pampered Soronis couldn't help but cover his nose.
Ashur lit the torch hidden at the entrance, and with the light of it, the two soon came to a small platform.
A man was tied to a chair behind his back, and although he had a cloth bag on his head, Soronis recognized this person from the white robe he was wearing, and quickly stepped forward and said excitedly: "Kravis! ”
Thoronis was so excited that he hurriedly drew his dagger and went behind his chair, intending to cut the rope that helped him.
There was a rush of footsteps, and a large number of Kapua city guards came here surrounded by a handsome young man.
Seeing the man tied to the chair by the light of the fire, and the Thoronis standing behind him with a dagger in his hand, the young man shouted urgently: "Stop! ”
Stunned by the influx of people, Solonis tried to find Ashur, but the cunning slave had long since disappeared, and Quintus, who stood beside the young man, smiled.
Without the young man's orders, the city guards rushed forward and restrained the unwilling Soronis, and after untying the cloth bag on Kravis's head, they found that his throat had been slit, and the administrator of Capua had lost his breath.
"Father!" The young man knelt beside Claves' corpse and wailed sadly.
Quintus took a few steps forward and kicked Soronis in the mouth, and he said indignantly: "You have killed the most respected magistrate of Capua, and your despicable deeds will be spurned by all the people!" ”
Kravis's only son, Numanlis, came to Soronis with red eyes, and began to hit him madly, venting the hatred in his heart, and after falling into the trap, the unexplained Soronis could only bear it silently.
In Numanlis's heart, Quintus, who brought himself to save his father, is undoubtedly the person he trusts the most now.
After all, Numanlis was young, and he looked at the enemy who was kneeling on the ground, and although he was full of anger, he didn't know what to do with this person for a while.
Quintus saw what he was thinking, and suggested: "This man is a heinous crime, I think it is better to imprison him for the time being, and when the time comes, let him fight against the Kapua champion of our Battitas family, Huang Slay, in the arena that everyone is looking for." ”
This proposal was exactly what Numanlis wanted, and he immediately handed over Soronis to Quintus for custody.
The greatest enemy of this life has fallen into the hands of the narrow-minded Quintus, and it is not necessary to think twice about the punishment and suffering that Soronis will suffer.
A few days later, the scarred Solonis was washed away and taken to the Colosseum of Capua, which he knew best.
Before the arena was built, Soronis began to train gladiators to compete, and the number of slaves who died in his hands over the years was not 10,000 but 8,000, but he never imagined that he would one day stand in the middle of the arena, waiting for death to come.
Now that the magistrate is dead, Kravis's wife and only son, Numanlis, both orphans and widows, are so grateful for their trust in Quintus that they ask him to preside over today's execution contest.
After a few humble words, Quintus stood up proudly and shouted to the tens of thousands of Kapua people in the room: "Recently, there has been a heinous crime in this beautiful city of Capua that has destroyed humanity. Kravis has been killed by shameless murderers! ”
When the audience heard this, they all shouted emotionally, demanding that the murderer be punished.
Quintus was so pleased with the reaction of the people of Capua that he squeezed it with his hands triumphantly, and the noisy shouts that filled the audience slowly died down.
"Justice is in the hearts of the people, this heinous murderer will be executed in the arena today!"
This arrangement was cheered by everyone, and Quintus struck while the iron was hot, and pointed his left hand at the iron gate: "Enemy of the people, the sinner who killed the magistrate of Capua, Soronis, enter!" ”
In the midst of the loud scolding, Soronis walked into the arena with a shield in his left hand and a sword in his right hand, and countless rotten dishes, stones, and broken shoes were smashed by the angry audience, leaving the already scarred Soronis with a few more scars on his body.
Today's Soronis is completely different from the past, his short silver hair, which is always neatly combed, has become fluffy and messy, and he only has a crotch cloth on his body, and he has completely lost the noble and elegant temperament of the past.
Looking at the people sitting in the high main stand, there sat the wife of the former administrator Kravis, who hated him to the bone, and his only son Numanlis, but Soronis did not look at them, but looked at the red-haired beauty beside Quintus, Ludia, whom he had loved for many years.
Noticing Soronis's gaze, Ludia remembered what he had pursued when he was young, and her heart was also extremely complicated, and she couldn't help but sigh low at the thought that this old friend who had been sincere to her for many years would soon die here.
Soronis walked into the middle of the field, pointed his dagger in his right hand at Quintus, and issued a silent curse and a final demonstration at him.
Quintus smiled at the loser, pointed to another iron door with his right arm, and asked in an impassioned tone, "Who will balance the scales of justice?" Who will restore the splendor of my city? ”
"Yellow kill! Yellow Kill! Yellow Kill ......"
Hearing everyone shouting the same name in unison, Quintus did not disappoint them, and introduced in a loud voice: "Please bring the Rain Bringer, the Hero of Slaughter Shadow, the champion of Capua, the great gladiator Yellow Slayer!" ”
Li Nan, whose eyes were covered with black cloth and holding a pure iron spear, walked into the arena amid everyone's cheers and came to Soronis.
The two didn't have much to do with each other, and they didn't have anything to say, and in the surprised eyes of the audience, Soronis mustered up the last courage and took the initiative to charge Li Nan.
Although Soronis has commendable courage and is very strong in survival, even in his heyday, he is definitely not Li Nan's opponent, not to mention that he has been tortured for several days and is scarred.
Li Nan listened to Soronis's footsteps, dodging as he used his spear to create non-lethal wounds on his body.
The young man in the main stand, Numanlis, saw this scene and asked puzzledly: "Why didn't Huang kill Soronis immediately?" ”
"Hehe, don't you feel that letting this sinner die easily will not be able to resolve hatred?"
Hearing Quintus's explanation, Numanlis nodded and understood what he meant.
Li Nan was instructed by Quintus before he went out to fight, so he didn't kill the killer all the time, but took a slow torture approach.
If he tortured and killed other innocent slaves or gladiators like this, Li Nan might still have a trace of unbearable feelings, but he had absolutely no mercy for Soronis, a Roman, the master of the training ground whose hands were covered with the blood of gladiators.
