Chapter 157 157 The Bloody and Cruel Colosseum
Chapter 158 158. The bloody and cruel Colosseum
Although Ronin did not participate in every aspect of Princess Blanche's itinerary, as an escort, he still knew what the specific content of each aspect would be.
Watching the gladiator performance in the Colosseum, they were just pure spectators, and there was no special introduction to the segment.
The sudden spotlight made Ronin secretly alert, so he reminded Macken to be careful around to avoid any emergencies.
However, he seemed to be overthinking.
The host on the opposite side of the stands turned off the spotlight, and after the atmosphere on the scene cooled down a little, he began to introduce today's beast fighting project again, gradually drawing the audience's attention back.
This beast fighting program has been promoted for a long time, and almost all the audience who came know that the gladiator needs to defeat the third-level Warcraft Green Troll this time.
This Warcraft has the appearance of a primate, but it has long arms and huge feet, and webbed feet between its fingers and toes. It is very good at climbing and swimming.
According to reports, the green-skinned troll has a pair of sharp horns on its head, long fangs in its mouth, red eyes, and looks very ugly.
Many people come to watch with a curious attitude, after all, some people living in the city rarely have the opportunity to see the monsters with their own eyes.
"Now, let's welcome tonight's protagonist with the warmest applause and exclamations!"
Accompanied by the host's shouting, the huge stone door on the east wall of the Colosseum slowly opened, and the huge iron cage was exposed to everyone.
Suddenly, everyone who saw the monster in the cage couldn't help but gasp, and some timid women couldn't help but scream in fear.
The cage contained a huge monster that was nearly three meters tall. Its angry roaring fangs and the basin-like palm that grabbed the iron cage fiercely made people feel cold.
"This kind of creature should be rare in the Wushan Mountains. Perhaps it was caught from the Misty Mountains."
Blanche had obviously seen the Green Troll. "It seems that the organizers spent a lot of effort on this performance at the end of the year. No wonder the price of watching is so expensive."
"Do you know this creature?" Ronin asked in surprise.
He didn't remember much about Warcraft.
Blanche nodded. "This kind of creature usually moves in groups of three or five. The strongest individual can be compared with the bronze knight of humans. They have a certain amount of wisdom, but it is not high."
While speaking, the door in front of the iron cage was slowly pulled up from the gap above the stone door, and the trapped Green Troll rushed out like crazy.
It roared to the sky, and its red eyes became extremely bloodthirsty at this moment because of the anger.
Especially after it saw the audience in the stands, it actually roared angrily and rushed to the wall, jumped up two or three meters high, and then climbed two meters along the wall, scaring the audience above to scream and retreat again and again.
Fortunately, the stands were more than ten meters higher than the stage, so even if the green-skinned troll was very good at climbing, it could only fall back onto the stage helplessly.
The startled audience recovered, and this scene did not make them timid, but made them more excited. They were more looking forward to the next beast fighting competition, and many people cheered.
Blanche glanced at the troll that fell back and continued, "This creature is irritable, bloodthirsty, and likes to feed on humans. There seems to be a time in history when trolls are rampant, and humans were eaten everywhere."
Roning nodded slowly and gave him a thumbs up, "Live and learn, Blanche you are really a polymath."
Blanche was a little embarrassed, "It's okay, I just read a lot of books."
While the two were talking, the host had already appeased and ignited the emotions of the audience, "Now, please welcome our first gladiator, he is the God of War Wolf King who has been undefeated in a hundred games in the intermediate arena!"
Clang~
A small door on the west wall slowly opened, and a burly knight wearing heavy armor and holding a knight's long sword walked in slowly.
The identity and background of the gladiators are relatively complicated. Some are free knights, and some are captured professional knights who are sold to the Colosseum by slave owners for special performances.
The former gets money if they win, and the latter gets money if they win the slave owner.
However, whether it was a free knight or a slave knight, dying in the Colosseum was a waste of life, and their families or slave owners would not receive any compensation.

As the gladiator entered the arena, the angry green-skinned troll seemed to have found an object to vent his anger on. It roared angrily at the human gladiator nicknamed "Wolf King", and then rushed over like crazy.
The Wolf King roared, and a powerful fighting spirit burst out of his body, condensing a brilliant sword light on the knight's sword.
He slashed with a sword, and the sword light shot out, and the whole person ran towards the troll, ready to make up the knife.
Regardless of the power of this move, at least the Wolf King's momentum was released.
This naturally attracted the ordinary audience in the stands to exclaim repeatedly, thinking that the green-skinned troll was going to be killed by this sword, and some people even shouted the name of the Wolf King.
But the ending is always unexpected.
The green-skinned troll did not dodge, raised his palm, and a yellow light flashed on the palm, and then slapped it down, and the sword light was shattered.
Then it stretched out its thick and long arms, and directly crossed two or three meters to grab the wolf king's neck.
"Crack!"
The sharp breaking sound made the entire Colosseum silent. When the long sword in the knight's hand fell to the ground with a snap, everyone reacted. Some people jumped up in fear as if they were in a stress reaction.
The troll killed the human, and its anger seemed to be vented. The bloodthirsty light in its eyes faded a little.
It made a gurgling sound in its mouth, and then sat on the ground, pulled the wolf king's body over, and in front of all the audience, it bit the skull, took out the brain inside, and began to enjoy it.
This scene made people's scalps numb, and there was a cry of surprise from the stands.
Roning couldn't help but frowned. He had never seen a monster eat people in front of him.
This scene looked too cruel and bloody.
But looking at the audience around, they exclaimed, and there was an unusually stimulated look in their eyes.
At this time, the host's voice sounded just right.
"It seems that an intermediate knight can't defeat this crazy monster!"
He paused, and then said loudly: "Then next, we will invite three intermediate gladiators to challenge this monster at the same time!"
Sure enough, after these words fell, they immediately attracted applause and cheers from the audience.
"These three gladiators have won ten consecutive matches in the arena. Their physical strength and power have reached an amazing level!"
"Let's applaud and welcome them!"
The small door on the west side was opened again, and three gladiators dressed the same as the wolf king just now walked in.
They looked at each other, and then carefully separated their positions, preparing to attack from three directions to kill the monster.
Roning held the railing of the stands and looked at the scene below, "This troll is obviously a level three monster. Why let the intermediate knight challenge it?"
Blanche said: "Because this will make the beast fight more exciting."
In fact, Roning knew it even if she didn't say it.
It's just that this answer is too bloody. Roning once again experienced another corner of the darkness and cruelty of this world.
Human life here is just a prop to please others, and it is not respected at all.
He glanced at Blanche, and there seemed to be excitement in the other's eyes. Sure enough, people in this world are all influenced by this atmosphere.
She may feel cruel in her heart, or she may feel kind, but that's it.
Although Ronin would not betray his own interests, he was a person who had been influenced by socialism. After coming to this strange world, he still had some ideas of his own and some things he wanted to do.
"What do I want to do?"
Ronin held the guardrail and watched the three knights below attack the green-skinned troll from three directions.
The green monster threw away the headless body of the previous gladiator and began to howl excitedly. Facing the three people, it still did not show any fear.
