At least, Xu Shu thought he was no match for this Gallic beast in a one-on-one match.
And the silent Spartacus next to him has similar strength to him.
But when the crowd cheered for them,
The opposite door opened,
A tall, ugly white man stepped out.
His pale skin and strange red pupils made him look very scary.
And the huge body was extremely oppressive, making the audience instantly quiet.
What's even more amazing is that when he walked over, the clear sky brought a dark cloud.
The shadow of death enveloped the audience!
"Unparalleled!"
Although Xu Shu has not stepped into the strength of a unparalleled general, he can feel that this may be the first unparalleled general he has seen since entering Rome!
It's just that this unparalleled warrior doesn't look very healthy.
"Dear Mr. Xu, you are a distinguished guest from Capua, and it is up to you to announce the start of the game."
The consul gave this "honor" to Xu Shu.
Xu Shu smiled slightly and called out to start.
Only then did the citizens of Capua notice him as a yellow man.
But soon, attention was attracted by the battle between the two sides.
At the beginning of the battle, Kress and Spartacus cooperated tacitly, and the two played both offense and defense, giving full play to their strengths!
Although he was hit several times by Thurox, he was not seriously injured.
With the tacit cooperation of the two, Thaux was slashed twice in the chest soon, and then, Kress inserted a sword into Thaux's waist.
Thurox fell to the ground.
The battle is over?
Kress and Spartacus took off their helmets and laughed loudly.
The two raised their heads, rejoicing that they had won the battle of the hero so easily, and at the same time welcomed the cheers of the citizens.
The moment Spartacus took off his helmet, Sura standing behind Xu Shu shook suddenly, "Ah!"
She couldn't help crying.
In the eyes of the Romans, it was impolite for a slave to scream like this, and the punishment was light, or he would be dragged out and beaten to death with sticks.
But she was Xu Shu's slave, and everyone just glanced at her without making a sound.
No one has the right to deal with the slaves of the Han envoys!
"what happened?"
Xu Shu turned around and asked Sura.
I saw her staring at Spartacus with both eyes, and tears flowed out involuntarily.
Xu Shu understood instantly.
He gave Sura a reassuring look and said he would help.
Only then did Sura realize that she had lost her composure, she quickly put away her tears and regained her composure.
The two on the field are still greeted with cheers,
However, the watching citizens fell silent again.
A look of horror appeared on his face.
Spartacus and Kress turned around slowly, only to see that Thaucus, who had been severely injured by them, had slowly stood up.
He slowly pulled out the sword stuck in his waist, and then grabbed it in his hand, not caring about his injury at all,
He raised his swords and shouted towards the auditorium,
"Capua, is it my turn now?"
……
Chapter 531 Batiatus' Invitation
The arena went from excitement to horror as Thurox rose to his feet.
people feel
He is still alive after suffering such severe injuries. The shadow of death is not a human being, but a demon god!
Sura couldn't help but worry about Spartacus.
Xu Shu frowned slightly,
With such a serious injury, even a strong person will feel pain.But this guy in front of him didn't feel any pain at all, but he was even more ferocious than before!
After a roar that shook the entire arena, Thurox launched an attack.
The twin swords in his hands were like two mountains, constantly hitting Spartacus and Kress.
At this time, the arrogance in Kress's bones was also aroused. He gave up cooperating with Starbucks and planned to monopolize Thaux.
Soon, he was hit and fell to the ground by Thurox possessed by the god of death.
Spartacus, who faced Thurox alone, also became dangerous.
Such a scene once again caused Sura, who was behind Xu Shu, to have her heart hang in her throat.
Regardless of the occasion and her own status, she asked Xu Shu for help in her newly learned Chinese.
"Master, please save him."
This impolite move made the surrounding Roman nobles frown.
Before Xu Shu could speak, an extremely coquettish blond woman sarcastically said, "It seems that our distinguished guest from a big man doesn't know how to train his own slave."
Her name was Ilysia, and she was the wife of Graber, the Roman civil servant.
Spartacus in the field had discredited her husband Graber, so she wished that Spartacus would be killed by Thurox.
She was furious when she heard that a slave girl was going to rescue Spartacus.
Because she knew that as Xu Shu, she could save Spartacus!
So she put pressure on the consul,
"Your Excellency the Consul, this fight is what the people want. The audience is thirsty for blood. You don't want to disappoint the people and lose your position in the Senate."
This sentence is also telling Xu Shu not to interfere with the game.
How clever Xu Shu was, he immediately understood that this sweet-looking woman had a heart like a snake and a scorpion.
Moreover, there is a feud with Sura's husband.
He remained calm, just comforting Sura with his eyes.
Interrupting the gladiatorial fight would definitely cause public outrage, which would be detrimental to his next plan.
But as the envoy of the Han Dynasty and the honored guest of the Roman Emperor, he has the power to decide life and death in the final link!
The citizens watched a wonderful battle of heroes, and didn't care so much about the lives of others.
However, things soon took a turn for the better. Kress, who was seriously injured and fell to the ground, used the helmet to reflect the sun's rays and illuminate Thaux's eyes at the most critical moment.
Seoks covered his eyes in pain and yelled, Spartacus took the opportunity to take the head of Seoks.
At this moment, the sky thundered.
Immediately afterwards, Capua, which had been drought for a long time, fell torrential rain.
People enjoy carnival in the rain, dew is not uncommon, and some people even use the most primitive animal sports to celebrate this nectar.
The picture in the stands is simply unbearable!
Immediately afterwards, the audience cheered the name "Spartacus", and Spartacus reached the pinnacle of his life, became the new champion of Capua, and won a series of honors such as Hero of Slayer, Rain Bringer, etc. title!
No one cared about Kress, who was lying in a pool of blood. The former champion glory was gone, and he was dragged away like those corpses.
Sura behind Xu Shu also wept with joy.
After the fight is over,
Batiatus, who has a persistent pursuit of politics, invited Xu Shu to his house as a guest. Xu Shu smiled and agreed.
However, while the Romans were raving, a rumor was gradually permeating the whole of Capua.
In the streets and alleys, you can always hear slaves talking about Osui.
"Have you heard that all the slaves in Osuyi have been liberated and freed!"
"They abolished slavery, and slaves not only obtained citizenship, but also had the right to vote and hold important official positions!"
"I hope we have the same situation as Osuyi here."
"I'm envious of those greedy guys, they are actually favored by the gods."
"The gods will control the life and death of us slaves? I prefer to believe that they will eat farts!"
"I heard that it was an oriental man named Li Cunxiao who led eighteen war gods to defeat the Osuyi royal family and rescued more than 1 slaves in Osuyi!"
"Oriental?"
"Today, when I went to watch the competition with my master, I also saw a Han man in the VIP seat on the rostrum."
……
The news quickly spread among the slaves in Capua.
Everyone yearns for freedom, especially those captured slaves, they long to be reunited with their families, and hate the slave masters who oppress them and don't treat them as human beings!
Of course, this news was deliberately spread by Xu Shu.
The purpose is naturally to liberate these suffering slaves!
