Chapter 142: Rookie Slave Challenge

In the eyes of the Romans, slaves were actually no different from animals, and even in terms of value, they were not as valuable as animals.

This time, the gladiator challenge uses sharp real knives and real guns, and if the rookie slave defeats the opponent, he will be qualified as a gladiator, and as for the loser, the best result is to be sold to the mine.

The new slaves nervously picked up their swords and shields and climbed to a wooden platform more than two meters high to compete with the gladiators.

The bodies and hearts of the gladiators, already tempered into steel, used the simplest way of killing to kill the unskilled slaves, and the blood stained the yellow sand around the wooden platform red.

Three rookie slaves died in a row, which made the black trainer Docott feel faceless, and with a chill on his face, he waved his hand to let the guards drag away the slave's body.

"Vero, Nias is out!"

Shaking the hand of his good friend Vero tightly, Li Nan encouraged: "Brother, come on!" ”

Vero also shook Li Nan and said loudly: "I will survive!" ”

In fact, Li Nan is still very confident in Vero, after all, he has served in the Roman army before, and he has also benefited a lot from the hands of Dorcot during this period, while Nias can only be regarded as a second- and third-rate gladiator.

Usually Vero and Li Nan are partners in practice, he is good at using round shields to defend, and Li Nan, a guy who likes to use spears to attack, happens to be a pair.

At this time, Vero was defending very well, and Quintus, who was watching the battle on the balcony, was exhausted and could not afford too many slaves, so seeing that the performance of this rookie slave was okay, he nodded slightly.

"Stop, Vero is tied, pass the test!"

Quintus could decide the life and death of everyone in the training ground, and Vero's performance was also recognized by the proud gladiators, so the people gathered around the wooden platform cheered to welcome the brother who had qualified as a gladiator.

Vero's victory gave some confidence to the slaves who were about to take part in the challenge.

The challenge continues, and this time the two sides are the slave Mars, who is the same time as Li Nan, and his luck is not good, as his opponent is Barka, the second best of the gladiators in the training ground.

Originally a descendant of the Carthaginians, Barka was captured in Rome for fun after Carthage's demise, and was given the title of "Carthaginian Beast" after killing the Carthaginian chief Marg, who was also his father, in the arena.

According to his experience, Barka is a very fierce and vicious person when facing enemies, so he is also trusted by Quintus, and often takes him to be a personal bodyguard by his side, and has done a lot of dirty work.

Li Nan knew that Mars was not Barka's opponent, but he didn't expect that he didn't hold on for three seconds before he was cut open and fell off the wooden platform.

The competition ended so quickly that everyone was caught off guard.

After a few seconds, the gladiators began to laugh at the dead Mars, while the slaves looked sad.

Ludia sighed and said, "What a disappointment. ”

Quintus also shook his head and said, "You can't expect everything to have a high CHAO. ”

Ludia said lightly: "We women understand this truth. ”

After all, Mars was at the same time as Li Nan, and the two also got along for a while, and when they saw his body lying on the yellow sand, Li Nan walked over and reached out to close his eyes.

Barka, who was standing on the high platform, saw Li Nan's actions and laughed arrogantly: "Hahaha, look at this Celes girl!" ”

"Hahaha......"

Kress and the other gladiators felt that Li Nan's movements were indeed a bit sissy, and they immediately burst into laughter.

These gladiators were so disregarding life, and even laughed at a person who had just died, Li Nan suddenly felt angry.

Anyway, everyone is going to compete tonight, Li Nan immediately glared at Baka angrily, and shouted: "I want to challenge you!" ”

As a rare Celestian in the Roman Republic, Quintus still valued his value, and was a little worried that he would die at the hands of Barca, so he hurriedly looked at Docot, the black sect leader who knew the strength of slaves and gladiators best.

Most of the gladiators here were trained by Dorcott, so the black man nodded slightly towards the balcony, signaling that there was no problem, and then said loudly: "This is the Seres vs. Balka!" ”

Li Nan came to the wooden platform, took a spear and clenched it with both hands, the opposite Barka was also good at using this weapon, but he was a small shield in his left hand and a spear in his right hand, both offensive and defensive, and the two were not the same way of attack.

Looking at the extremely arrogant Barka, Li Nan held a spear in both hands, like a poisonous snake attacking quickly, and slashed at the other party's throat.

With the help of the momentum, the nearly two-meter-long spear in Li Nan's hand struck with the sound of breaking wind, and Barka saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly blocked the stab with the round shield in his left hand.

The crisp sound of contradictions sounded, and Li Nan had fully recovered his body after this period of trading with Ashur, so after this heavy spear stabbed the small circle shield, even if Barka used the unloading technique, he was softened by the shock's footsteps and took three steps back.

Since Li Nan came to the Roman era, he was forced by Docott to learn the fighting skills of gladiators with a whip, and he combined the marksmanship from Lin Chong and Lu Zhishen's staff technique, and also walked out of a different path.

The Lin family's marksmanship is exquisite, the mad wand method is wide open and closed, the gladiator's killing skills and swords go sideways, and the three kinds of kung fu are combined and unique, bringing a surprisingly huge lethality, and now what Li Nan lacks is only time to hone carefully.

Anyone who has ever had experience in fighting knows that fighting is not about skill and kung fu, but about mentality.

After the gladiators were trained, they all killed people without blinking, and Li Nan, who came from later generations, was trained by the environment during this period of time, and now he can kill without scruples.

At this time, he had no scruples in his heart, facing Barka's battle intent, killing intent churning, and the whole person was like a machine that was activated with all his strength, and the spears in his hands were re-pointed, and lightning stabbed out of the opponent's eyes, mouth, and throat.

"Bang bang bang!"

The three rapid stabs were all blocked by the shield on Barka's left arm, forcing him to retreat until he reached the edge of the wooden platform.

"Ahh

Li Nan's tongue bloomed with thunder, and he shouted violently, and with all his strength, he swept the spear as a club, wanting to directly knock Barka off the wooden platform.

Barka was able to become the second master of the training ground, and he was not a wasted person, so he hurriedly used the shield in his left hand to block Li Nan's full force, and then threw away the shield in his hand, gritting his teeth and using his strong body to force the remaining spear.

The force of this spear was extremely heavy, and after Barka was hit, his brown-black face instantly turned snow-white, and then he clamped the spear under his armpit.

Although Barka was not lightly injured, he also managed to control Li Nan's weapon.

Li Nan wanted to withdraw his spear, but Barka didn't give him this chance, and the spear in his right hand stabbed him in the throat rapidly.

Seeing Barkka's fierce counterattack, Li Nan hurriedly flashed the opponent's spear and also caught Barka's weapon.

The two froze together, and Barka reacted quickly, swiping his whole body forward, and then kicked Li Nan's crotch fiercely.

The opponent's speed was very fast, and the wooden platform was extremely narrow, Li Nan was in a hurry when he saw this, and his arms suddenly exerted force, and he picked up the strong Barka with two spears and threw it towards the cliff on the side of the training ground.
