48 Hours a Day

Chapter 776: Beast Warrior

Despite the fact that the retirement of Cissnates had had a considerable impact on the Victor Arena, which was hard to ask for in the past and was no longer visible with a full platform, the bottom of the arena was still there, and Marcruz ran the second largest school of gladiators in the entire city of Rome.

In addition to Sisnates, there are a few less popular gladiators such as Habitus, Nasica, Rufus, and a lot of good core strength to attract a good audience.

Thus, as of the day of the performance, two thirds of the seats on the stands in the arena had been sold, but Marcus was still somewhat dissatisfied, and after welcoming and paying tribute to several nobles and their families who had come to the game, he returned to his position and frowned again.

In addition to the loss of the audience, Makrous is also having headaches for the royally hosted gladiator show more than a month later.

Leaving aside the potential for property damage, he knew that there were other troubles waiting for him, and that the gladiator school he operated was currently the second largest in Rome, but was now entering a period of decline, with several of his competitors watching.

So the performance more than a month later probably had other implications in it, not only when His Majesty the New Emperor announced the arrival of his reign, but also, I'm afraid, a re-shuffling of cards between the gladiators' schools. Although Marcus now has a huge handful of cards in his hand, he lacks one of the most critical.

The biggest ace.

According to the information he received, a number of gladiator schools had dug up a very powerful new recruit, and the exit of Cissnates meant that gladiators had entered a new era of heroism, herds of deer hunting, and in normal times everyone was hanging out on their own territory, and now it was rare to get together. If any gladiator could stand out from it and take down the last crown, the new king would be born.

And the gladiator school behind him will be the biggest winner.

Why Marcus had been pushing Gabby to find a successor to Cissnates before, and even ordering him to die, had such a factor in it. He was not unaware that it would be safer for Bach to go to war after another period of training, but he had already detected an imminent crisis.

As a courageous businessman, he knew he had to do it, but at the bottom of his heart, he didn't know if Bach could defeat any other gladiator school rivals, maybe he should talk to Habitus again and give in a little appropriately...

And just as Marcus fell into contemplation, the next show started with a little band, and they stood on a slowly rising platform in the middle of the arena, playing songs.

Afterwards, a group of antelopes suddenly came out of the door on the side of the arena, and they heard the audience cheering, which should have been quite frightened, and began to run around the arena, one of which also wanted to jump to the audience, but the arena obviously had corresponding security measures.

At the bottom, a wall of about 3 metres is built, in addition to the large nets fixed on the columns, which, on the one hand, can stop the beast and, on the other hand, keep the gladiators under the sight of the audience, so no one feels afraid to see the jumping antelope, and even the lady stands up and looks at the curious probe.

Since the time of Caesar, animal performances have been part of gladiator performances, usually before gladiator fights.

Unlike the vast majority of films and television works, gladiators do not fight these beasts in the face, which is the work of the gladiators. In addition to the executioners that Zhang Heng and Varo had previously seen, the arena also arranged hunting and domestication performances, as well as a number of animal-to-animal fights to entertain the audience.

Now what people see is a hunting show between hunters and antelopes, and later, the battle between lions and bears, and eventually the winner will face the Beast.

The whole show was increasingly exciting and the audience became more and more nervous, especially when the gladiators appeared, and climbed to a peak, whether men or women shouting the gladiator's name together, watching him and the beast in front of him strangle, flashing left and right, dodging claw attacks over and over again, leaving a wound on the prey with a weapon in their hand.

And his opponents became more and more manic.

Nothing is more fascinating than looking directly into the eyes of a reaper, constantly mocking death and escaping from its hands. The women screamed wildly for him, willing to give their lives for him, not less than the fans of the greatest idols of future generations. Although the face behind the helmet was not handsome, it could even be described as ugly. Three long scars almost destroyed his left face, which was left by a cunning leopard.

And yet, in the eyes of women, there's nothing better in the world than these scars.

At least in this moment in the arena, he is the dream lover of all women, and, as the poet Venalis put it, the girls love not his face, but his sword.

Eventually, the experienced warrior again succeeded in killing the beast in front of him.

He plunged his sword into the land in front of him, took off his armor and enjoyed the cheer of his victory and Kaigo.

And after him it was the gladiator's turn.

Zhang Heng and Varo were not among them. Their martial arts performance was placed on the third day. Neither of them even went to the arena, but there was a spectacular battle in the afternoon.

Bach and Rufus.

The Black Sickle is a celebrity of Victor's arena, and by contrast, the name Bach has been overwhelmingly new to rookies for a long time.

This time, however, the Victor Arena put him in publicity advertisements, apparently with a lot of attention.

However, it is clear that viewers are more willing to believe that they have proved themselves on more than one occasion in the arena, as is evident from the odds of both sides.

Yes, the spinach has been inseparable from the competition since ancient times, and in the arena you can not only enjoy a gladiator performance, but also bet on a good gladiator.

And Varo on the other side is asking Zhang Heng, who do you prefer? ”

“I've never seen Rufus the Black Sickle, but Gabby's arrangement means he looks after Bach, so if I bet, I'll bet on Bach.” Zhang Hengdao.

“So Rufus must have defeated? ”

“Almost if Bach has successfully completed all his training, but now Rufus also has a chance.” Zhang Hengdao, since the old trainer got the news that the Flavi Circular Theatre would be hosting a gladiatorial performance, Zhang Hengdao also knew why Marcus was so anxious.

But I'm afraid this fight is going to be different than he thought.
