553 - Challenger
At the same time, the first round of group elimination battle was opened to open twenty duels, and the fierce battle with extremely efficient and fierce fighting made all participants experience a gladiator experience.
The ants who were lucky but had no strength but were not at the level were eliminated one after another and ended up deadly.
Two and a half days later, except for the contestants who successfully killed or severely damaged their opponents, who were ruthlessly eliminated because they were seriously injured or even seriously injured, only 1,327 people were qualified to enter the second round.
All this is really just beginning.
The organizers of the Gladiator Competition adjusted the pace of the process in the second round, no longer fighting in twenty gladiator areas at the same time, but changed to ten same battles.
The increase in the duel area not only provides more maneuverable space, but also adds many variables to the final result.
The advantages of contestants such as Knights, Arrowers and Magicians who have high mobility and ranged attack methods are becoming more and more obvious, and the combat process will be even more exciting.
When Lin Mo walked into the arena again, his opponent was a noble child from the suburbs of Lingjing. He was the legitimate son of the family, but he had no inheritance rights and could only rely on his own strength to make a future. If he could perform well in this competition, he might be attracted by a big shot. It would be a way out for him to gain a good background.
No. 748vs No. 2317.
"I'm in a good mood today. If you surrender now, I can consider letting you go."
This nobleman, who used the four-leaf clover as the family's emblem, did not underestimate him like Lin Mo's previous opponent. He pulled out his long sword straight, leaned over and began to build up momentum, with his left arm across his chest, and his right hand held the sword in his right hand and placed it on his wrist guard, making a gesture of offense and defense one after another.
A slight burning sensation in the air began to dissipate. Lin Mo's opponent in this game obviously has the fire element affinity talent, but the level of the battle qi is not high, and it is not enough to form a battle qi flame visible to the naked eye through the surface of the skin.
If it were normal, he would probably take out the Type 92 combat pistol and kill it with one shot. But now, the only thing Lin Mo could rely on was the two-handed knight sword in his hand.
"Do it! You're talking too much nonsense!"
I met a long-winded guy again. Was it showing off my superiority? Lin Mo, as usual, put into the Modao mode, with the scabbard connected to the sword blade, like a special spear of the same length as the sharp blade and the grip.
With a sharp blade pointed at the ground, Lin Mo dragged the weapon in his hand to make a move first to fit in a strong manner and bullied it.
The sprint speed was getting faster and faster.
"die!"
Switching the gesture, the nobles roared, steadily facing each other and pointing their swords at their opponents.
The audience who were paying attention to this duel area outside the court shouted rhythmically, and the moment when they were about to decide their life and death was always the climax they paid the most attention to.
Ding!~
Two figures interspersed in the blink of an eye.
Lin Mo, who appeared behind the nobles' children, pointed his sword into the sky.
"No. 748 is dead!"
"No, no! It's No. 2317!"
Some of the audience who were paying attention to this duel area were the first to break the silence and shout.
"Uh!~" The noble child of the number 2317 made a strange sound from his throat. The whole person and the weapons in his hand split into two without warning, and fell to the ground with a bang, and the blood kept gushing out, and soon soaked a large piece of the ground.
Lin Mo was so happy that he had no interest in turning around.
With just one blow, he killed people and weapons on the spot in two pieces. The power of the Modao in the Tang Dynasty could even kill the war horses, not to mention that he was just a swordsman wearing light armor.
A sharp arrow suddenly flew over without warning and shot towards Lin Mo who was preparing to leave in the duel area at a speed of lightning speed.
At that time, the Dragon Knight drew his sword like lightning. As soon as the sword with both hands was unsheathed, it slashed heavily on an arrow that was less than three feet away. With the help of the waist muscles, the spine seemed to have enough strength. It burst out with huge force during twisting and twisting. The hand was thrust hard and slid half a step at the same time.
Chih!~
The sharp arrow that had not diminished its remaining momentum almost wiped Lin Mo's body and shot into the ground, reaching more than three inches deep, and the feather arrow shaft still trembled continuously.
Although there is no "Dragon General" tactical armor on his body, Lin Mo can still judge the source of the arrow ballistics based on his experience. He looked vigilantly at another duel area diagonally opposite, about a hundred steps away.
A young archer was raising the yellow-horned hard bow in his hand to make a false gesture, and the arrow just now seemed to be just a provocation.
Behind him, the opponent who seemed to have been shot into a hedgehog had already become a silent corpse, with a sharp arrow inserted into the vital points of his temple, eyes, nose, mouth, throat and lower abdomen, and the breeze faintly revealed from the other side.
"Hmph!~ Looking for death!"
Lin Mo snorted coldly from his nostrils, keeping the other person's appearance in his heart. If he had the chance to fight next time, he would never be ruthless.
The young archer ignored the murderous gaze, but instead walked around his duel area with his might, and from time to time, raising his hard bow in his hands to cheer the audience who supported him.
This scene is just a small episode in the arena. The soldiers who maintained order and the organizers of the on-site ruling ignored this and were distracted in the arena because they were careless for a moment and deserved to die.
In the second round of gladiatorial battle, Lin Mo finally fell into the eyes of some people. If the first game can be regarded as luck, then the second game is undoubtedly strength.
Not all contestants must go through the knockout round. A group of well-known combatants and spellcasters will directly participate in the later stage events under the arrangement of the organizer. For these masters and strong people with obvious strength, there is no need to bully the weak in the first and second rounds. It is better to place their true strength in the most exciting stage.
"Newcomers appeared in the 315th Gladiator, and the opponents were defeated in two games, and their potential was immeasurable."
"Blonde hair and silver eyes, which noble family is it? The wealthy family in Lenjing has delivered an olive branch."
"The latest combat power ranking is released, the strength of the contestants with the number 748 is expected to enter the top 500."
Some rumored news printed on poor velvet paper is everywhere, and there are always well-informed people who like to select potential newcomers from the list of contestants and the results of gladiators, and they are hype that they often do the job of headhunters, agents or agents.
Gladiator competitions allow early notification of withdrawal, which gives many families or wealthy businessmen the opportunity to recruit, but few people will be willing to withdraw early if they advance to the next round of generous bonuses and higher-level solicitation.
As soon as he walked out of the arena, several men and even women surrounded Lin Mo.
"This adult, the top 20 Melo Chamber of Commerce in the Empire needs a guard captain. As long as you are willing to join us, all food and accommodation will be included, one hundred gold coins per month."
"The Empire Wind-Chasing Eagle Legion welcomes you to become a member of us. When you report, you will receive a set of steel armor and a 100-refined weapon. If you pass the assessment, you can be promoted to battalion commander on the spot and lead at least 300 soldiers."
"The Countess Xia Ji, the Bavarian family, wants to ask you as her guardian knight, a young and brave warrior, and the beautiful and kind Countess are looking forward to your protection!"
With a little calculation, it can be concluded that after the second round of knockout, the remaining number of participants should be around 500, and they can basically be regarded as elite talents of the empire. It can be imagined that for families or organizations that have urgent needs for masters and strong people, almost all of them are popular products. Especially young people who can pass the second round smoothly are potential stocks worth investing in heavy betting.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way, don't block my young master's way, and don't look at your virtues, where can I send the beggar?"
The two royal secret guards, Crazy Que and Sword Diao, who played the guest role as a bodyguard, squeezed out the crowd for Lin Mo effortlessly. After the three of them got on the waiting carriage, they left a group of recruiters behind.
His departure was not discouraged by those recruiters, and other contestants were constantly coming out of the dark passage, and there were still more choices.
"Sir Morin, it seems that you love to welcome it very much? Whether it is on or off the court!"
Xiu Feng, who was waiting in the carriage, obviously knew that Lin Mo had just solved his opponent and was challenged and invited to fight by an archer.
Chapter completed!
