Chapter 172 The Roar of the Arena (1)
Under the blue sky, the round stadium of the imperial capital Galcia was boiling like a big pot. Looking down from the high sky, the round stadium was filled with people of different colors. They shouted, shouted, cheered, and the sounds shattered the clouds in the sky.? �

On the east side of the circular arena is the aristocratic area, where tall statues of gods, built balcony, and exquisite and luxurious stone pedestals are here. The nobles of the imperial capital are wearing their most gorgeous and beautiful clothes, sitting in their seats, looking around. In this martial festival, most young gentlemen wear straight military uniforms and look for the noble ladies they like among the sea-like crowds, while the nobles and socialites are dressed in colorful clothes, fanning the wind with precious little incense, or holding round umbrellas and chatting with the people next to them.
In the middle of the noble area was where the imperial emperor sat upright. Kriza XVI sat upright on a golden seat, with his elbows on the handrail and his hands on his chin. He looked like he was lying in a seat. To his right were crown prince Kirk and Princess Falco, Angel wearing a veil, and next to Angel were Christina, Roger and others. Radno had been gone because of his betrayal of them.
On the left of the old emperor was Prince Fernandez. Today, the young and handsome prince was particularly noticeable. He was wearing a black and red military uniform, handsome and handsome. He was so handsome that he couldn't take off his eyes. Surprisingly, beside Fernandez, in addition to his confidants, there was also a pretty and handsome girl standing next to him. The girl was wearing a long white gauze dress, just like a water-like person, which made many young gentlemen look hot, but because Fernandez's identity was difficult to come forward to chat with.
This girl was Emma. Tang Jie hurriedly left and gave her the opportunity to approach Fernandez again. Fernandez really loved this girl who was madly obsessed with her. She was not close to women on weekdays and took Emma to such a large-scale party that was open, but he didn't know that this young and beautiful girl stood quietly behind him, like a terrible time bomb, which would cause drastic changes in the imperial capital at any time.
Sitting in front of the imperial royal family are the Countess of the Kelsman family and Carl and others. They represent the most powerful family in this empire. Even the emperor sometimes has to look up at them. Next to the Countess is the Cardinal of the God of Light, and they are the only powerful force in the world that can compete with the Kelsman family.
In the stands in the circular arena, the complex and clear power relationship in this imperial capital can be seen from the level of the powerful and powerful standing.
In sharp contrast to the brightly colored and rounded umbrellas, the common areas are the common areas. Most of the people in the common areas wear flax-colored ones-pieces. They do not always pay attention to their identity and etiquette like the gentlemen and ladies in the aristocratic areas. These people living in the middle and bottom levels shouted loudly and waved their arms, and the entire area looked like a surging gray ocean.
Before the fight began, the atmosphere in the circular arena was as warm as a fire. Even the calm and rational person on weekdays would be exaggerated by this fierce atmosphere.
But there are some exceptions, such as Princess Angel.
Although Angel was wearing a veil, if someone wanted to stare at her eyes, she would find that her soul was not in her body at all. Although her eyes were constantly turning and sweeping back and forth in the arena, there was no focus in her eyes at all, and it was empty.
Christina, Roger and others standing behind Angel also had gloomy faces, with evil eyes in their eyes. Since they learned that Angel was framed and Tang Jie was imprisoned, they were all furious. But although they wanted to rescue Tang Jie, after all, Long You Qianshui and he was still under surveillance, where did they get the ability and energy to save others?
Since Angel had left the traitor Radno, she did not dare to tell them about the deal between herself and Crown Kirk, so Angel was anxious and uneasy, while Christina and others were hiding in her heart.
Coincidentally, there are two women in this circular arena who are also thinking about Tang Jie.
Lydia was wearing a plain yellow dress today. The servant beside her helped her hold a small umbrella. Although the sun was scorching above her head and the air was stuffy and hot, Lydia felt a cold in her heart.
Since she sent Tang Jie into a trap and witnessed the shocking showdown between Tang Jie and Sword Saint Anthony, she returned to her bedroom. She thought she could be proud and relieved her depression, but Lydia found that she would be stunned from time to time, and everything in front of her would become the figure of the black-headed man. Lydia closed her eyes and heard what he said to Prince Luther.
These things were as deeply imprinted in her mind as if they were imprinted. Although she personally sent Tang Jie into a trap that would be dying, when her conspiracy succeeded, she did not have the pleasure of revenge she had imagined.
I ruined this man, but why am I still unhappy? He insulted me, rejected me, and despised me, why can't I laugh at all at this time?
Lydia felt that her heart was constantly being eaten by an invisible bug, and she felt extremely uncomfortable.
Compared with Lydia, who was thinking complicated, Agatha's state of mind was much simpler at this time.
This gentle woman, as gentle as water, no longer had the charming glory she usually had on weekdays. Most of the women around her were made of heavy makeup, but she was the only one with no makeup on her face. Agatha's eyes were red, and she sat in her seat like a walking corpse, without a trace of her eyes.
When she heard the news that Tang Jie was arrested and imprisoned for assassination of Princess Angel, her whole world seemed to collapse. Agatha, who was still in sweet happiness the day before, almost collapsed. She could not imagine that she had lost this man like this. She could not imagine that this man who was howling in the sea fell under conspiracy!
But what made Agatha most painful was that she watched the man fall down but could not help a little. She knew that all this was a trap, but she could not stand up and accuse the designer of the trap, because her wealth and life and the family behind her were all tied to the chariot Fernandez, and she could not keep it alone.
Just when these women were absent-minded, a deafening shout suddenly broke out in the circular arena. The iron gates around the arena opened rumbling, revealing dark holes, and teams of gladiators slowly walked out of it.
Tang Jie unconsciously blocked the dazzling sunshine with his hands. The earth-shaking whistling sounds around him almost suffocated him. After he got used to such light, he calmed down and looked left and right. There were three other large iron gates in this circular arena, and some other gladiators walked out of these iron gates.
"They are the same as us, but their slave owners are different." Crudia looked at these people with a vigilant look and whispered, "I don't know who our opponent is this time."
Tang Jie kept looking at the gladiators walking out of the other three corners of the arena. In his opinion, most of these people were strong in all limbs and fierce and sharp in their eyes, which obviously were not easy to mess with.
These gladiators gradually approached in the tsunami of mountains and roars, and each looked at each other with vigilant and suspicious eyes. They had never encountered such slave owners of four gladiators who sent their subordinates to fight at the same time.
"What's going on?" Crudia muttered in a low voice. He held a short axe in his hand tightly, and one hand kept whirling on the edge of the axe's face.
The people in the stands were stunned when they saw this situation. They had never seen so many gladiators appear at the same time, but they were stunned for a moment. The shouts on the field weakened slightly, and then they rose like a tide. Hundreds of thousands of people waved their arms and shouted hysterically, because they knew that an unprecedented fierce battle was about to take place here.
The four teams of gladiators gradually gathered together, and they kept a distance from each other vigilantly from each other between a distance. Tang Jie took a quick look and found that there were about forty or fifty people here, and the majority of them were powerful and had fierce eyes. If they could get together, they would be a considerable combat force.
Unfortunately, the hostility between these people was very strong, and even the people in their own team kept a certain distance from each other and were secretly guarding themselves, especially the werewolf named Morgan was staring at Tang Jie's back with covetous eyes.
Although Morgan was not wearing armor or holding weapons, his hard body hair and leather, as well as the sharp claws on his hands were his best armor and weapons. These claws could easily tear any hard armor.
While these gladiators were looking at each other, four doors were suddenly opened next to the iron door where the gladiator appeared. What is different from the wooden iron door where the gladiator appeared is that they are all golden iron doors with majestic patterns on them.
After the door opened, there was no movement inside for a while. Only the gladiators looked at the four doors in panic, and there was a panic commotion.
Tang Jie stared at these doors with sharp eyes and vigilance. He didn't know what powerful opponents and enemies would come out inside, but he knew that since he had landed in this place, he could only sacrifice his life to fight. There was no sympathy here, only the strong survive and the weak died in battle.
These doors are like the deep valley of hell, and it seems that countless demons are about to surge out of it, which makes people feel furious.
Just as all the gladiators were waiting in a hurry, the ground suddenly trembled gently.
This tremor was very rhythmic, and there were neat and loud sounds coming from the deep corridor of the golden gate. When Tang Jie heard this, his face changed immediately!
He widened his eyes and watched a group of soldiers wearing silver-white full-body armor, holding one-handed swords and square shields neatly walked out of the four doors.
These soldiers swept at Tang Jie, afraid that there would be hundreds of people. They were armed from head to toe to the teeth. The cold eyes inside the helmets were not popular at all. Every step they stepped on the same point, trembling in fear and showing a forcing momentum.
They shouted in a low voice, and the officers of Wei shouted slogans, and even the deafening cheers around could not conceal their murderous voices. When the four teams walked to the arena, the officers of each team raised their hands and saw the soldiers stop immediately with a loud bang, neatly like waves. Just looking at the orders and the uniform lineup, you can know that this is a group of well-trained and well-equipped strong troops.
These soldiers walked into the field and formed a vague siege to encircle the gladiators in the middle.
At this time, the officer turned around and knelt on one knee towards Kriza XVI, lifted his mask and performed a knight salute. Then the soldiers behind the officer knelt down neatly, lifted his mask, held a sword in one hand and a shield in the other, like a silver sea of steel.
Although the soldiers saluted the emperor and had flaws everywhere in lineup, the gladiators knew that the person in front of them was their enemies and those who were about to kill them, they could not take advantage of this opportunity to go forward and fight.
Because these elite warriors wrapped in iron armor really scared these gladiators to the extreme!
They are not afraid of one-on-one fights, they are not afraid of melee fights, they are not afraid of group fights among gladiators, or even attacks by a small poke soldier. However, they are afraid that such a group of elite soldiers armed to their teeth will appear in front of them in the form of a battle formation.
Anyone with a little military acumen and common sense in combat knows that when a group of soldiers form a battle formation, their power will increase exponentially, and such full-body armor, well-armed and well-trained soldiers are definitely not comparable to those of them!
Do they want to kill us here?
Almost all the gladiators had such a thought flashed through their minds in despair.
Just as a desperate and pessimistic aura began to spread in the arena, Kriza XVI, who was sitting in the high stands, gestured to the officers in the field, indicating that the fight began.
The leading officers understood. They pounded the armor on their chests with their hands, then pulled out their long sword, put down their helmets, and pointed the sword in their hands into the air: "Form a formation!"
"Huh!!" All the soldiers shouted immediately, stood up with a loud noise, put down their helmets together, and pushed forward the square shield in their hands. Suddenly, there seemed to be a square steel wall in front of them. The dazzling refracted light on the shield made people feel chilled!
At this time, the long swords in the officers fell down and shouted one after another: "Go forward!!"
