48 Hours a Day

Chapter 778: The Twelve

The confrontation between Bach and Rufus became the best part of the first day of the show and was played by a lot of people.

The whole show had blood, muscle collisions, unintentional reversals, in addition to the loss of a well-known gladiator, almost all the compelling elements, and the name Bach began to spread into more people's ears.

Victor Arena has a great new recruit! That's what they say at the end of the street.

Macrus and Gabi's initial plan had been achieved, and of course the concrete results would not be known until Bach's second appearance. But Tobach and Rufus, who died in the war, actually had some slight increases in attendance in the arena over the next two days.

And soon, on the third day.

Zhang Heng and Varo returned to the basement of the Victor Arena.

To maximize the effect of theatre, many arenas have similar designs, with sandy wooden floors on the upper level and a little like the back of the theatre on the lower level, where there are arsenals, beast cages, prep rooms, and when needed, special lifts can be used to transport people and beasts to the ground, making them look like they just popped out of the ground.

I worked here before the two of them had been trained, and now I'm back to where I started. Unfortunately, there are no mirrors in the preparation room.

Now all the gladiators involved in the twelve are here, each with a different face.

Some silently wipe their weapons, adjust their armor, perform some weird pre-war rituals, and of course perform very lightly, like Nassica is laughing at her partner beside her.

It was his ninth time in the 12-Member Mixed, when he won seven of the eight previous Mixed Fights, and the only one he lost was because he hit Sisnates, who, despite being a retiring Sisnates, won Nassica after a tough battle.

But now that Sisnates is retired, few people in the gladiators' school can still get Nassica in trouble.

Especially when the list of the 12-member battle comes out, the odds of Sisnarts are even more dusty, and if not surprisingly, he will easily win his eighth victory.

By contrast, Varo on the other side, with his old sickness again, was holding a pottery can to dry. The former antique merchant thought he was ready, but he underestimated the tremendous pressure to enter the arena for the first time. Especially now, the cheering over his head reminded him of the two death row inmates he had previously met who had been eaten by beasts.

Seeing him as a weak chicken, all the other gladiators' faces showed a disdainful look.

And Nassica said, "Hey, kid, how did they get you through the test? Wait, if you open it, you won't be scared to pee in your pants. ”

Varo did not answer, not only because he was a little afraid of Nassica, but also because a new round of nausea poured into his head.

Zhang Heng handed Varo a bowl of fresh water so that the ex-antique merchant who threw up could rinse his mouth.

“I'm sorry," Varo apologized to Zhang Heng after taking the water. He knew his performance was somewhat embarrassing and even Zhang Heng was despised by other gladiators. "I will adjust my condition before the war starts, I promise. ”

“Well, you can try to take a few deep breaths, don't put too much pressure on yourself, just as a workout.” Zhang Hengdao.

Varo nodded, but he didn't say anything, and Nassica took over, "It's not like training, training doesn't kill people, but real martial arts is risking your lives, and I'll make sure you learn that from action, and this is a stage for heroes and warriors, where cowards and waste bury their bones. ”

“Can't you just mind your own business,” Zhang Heng finally said, “if it's really nothing to do, think about what position to ask for forgiveness later. ”

“Interesting, it's been a long time since any new people dared to talk to me with this tone,” Nassica's eyes finally fell on Zhang Heng, “I'm not set up like Garba, based on age to attract attention, do you know why people around me don't dare to pick up my words, because they're all afraid to wait until the battle starts, trust me, you don't want to know how my broken nickname came to me. ”

“I'd like to see it.” Zhang Hengfang said, “I'm afraid you'll be real. ”

Nassica wanted to say something else, but at this point there was an endless cheer, and everyone knew it was the end of the last show, and it was their turn.

“Orientals, you will regret what you have said.” Nasika took a deep look at Zhang Heng, put on her helmet and stood up from where she sat.

Varo finally stopped vomiting, rinsed his mouth with clean water, rose up with everyone, rushed to the lift, passed through an emergency room on the way, and saw a gladiator undergoing treatment there, his left arm unnaturally curved, should have broken his bone.

Seeing this scene, Varo quickly shifted his eyes and wiped the sweat off his face.

The gladiator who was responsible for the previous performance was bowing out to the audience, and shortly thereafter the cheer and cheer became smaller and the gladiator should have left. So the slaves in charge of the lift pushed the winch together, and the twelve gladiators who stood on it ascended the arena.

Thousands of spectators screaming and stamping quickly flooded the arena.

Perhaps only those who stood at the center of the sound wave could really understand Varo's tension and fear, as if the eardrums were about to be shattered.

As is customary, the twelve gladiators are now walking around the scene, allowing all viewers to see their faces, followed by some one-on-one warm-up exercises to demonstrate their fighting skills.

Nasika, the most famous of the twelve gladiators, was shouting his name when he showed up, and Nasika waved thanks to the audience for their support, with little attention being paid to the two newcomers, Zhang Heng and Varo.

However, it relaxed Varo's nerves a lot and found a feeling with Zhang Heng's practice.

Until the three referees walked into the field, everyone knew the time had come for a showdown.

Varo noticed that Nasica seemed intentionally approaching them, presumably to wait for the show to start, to solve their group of newcomers first, but there were still a lot of people with the same thoughts as him, Zhang Heng and Varo seemed to be the best bundles of soft persimmons.

As a result, Nassica failed to rob another group of people after the war, and according to the rules, he could only find another opponent.
