Chapter 568 - Coming to the Arena
The moment the organizer of the gladiator announced that His Majesty the Emperor would visit the arena in person to watch the battle, the palace guards and the army had already begun to work on martial law and defense in the capital city. Not only did they clear all the houses on both sides of the road leading to the arena, but they also made careful preparations inside the arena. Reconnaissance spells repeatedly penetrated the entire arena, even hundreds of feet deep underground to ensure that there was no dead corner. This article was first published by...
Under the heavy protection of the army and the strong, the royal car led by the Warcraft smoothly arrived at the arena. Many people finally breathed a sigh of relief, including the "Smiling Tiger" Hughes, the captain of the Lenjing security team, and the head of the intelligence department who claimed to be the general. Once something unexpected happens, as the direct responsible persons, they both have no choice but to run away.
If His Majesty the Emperor returns to the palace safely, then this credit and reward will definitely fall into their hands.
"Maybe that guy Rehazi finally caught the right person!"
Standing inside the level outside the arena, watching his subordinates questioning every entry fiercely, the intelligence department muttered to himself intentionally or unintentionally. Although the light magic god was the most suspicious, no one dared to completely put down the big stone in his heart before he confessed.
In the fifth round of battle yesterday, except for the battles with numbers 748 and 3166, which were disrupted by the powerful people from the intelligence department, although the other battles were very tragic, there was no abnormality.
Most of the suspects who were particularly concerned by intelligence officer Qilanya were eliminated. Except for one guy who was seriously injured and dying, the other eliminated contestants were turned into corpses. Death and serious injuries washed away the suspicion on them. Therefore, the intelligence department quickly turned its attention away from these people.
The Slanese could not let a dragon knight die in the gladiator in vain. It was definitely a huge joke. It was obviously much safer to sit in the audience than the life-and-death battle in the duel area.
If the Slan Dragon Knight, whose head and tail are still hidden among the contestants, today's sixth round of battle will double the possibility of him being exposed, and in the arena that is more vigilant than in the past, it is like throwing himself into the trap.
"Man! It's just a dragon knight. As for making you so nervous?"
The security captain Hughes, who appeared beside Ye Qi at some point, looked at the top leader of the intelligence department with a smile. He was always under the control of his and Ye Qi inside and outside the arena.
"No, no, I'm just a little worried! But it's nothing. Those who do our business will always be suspicious!"
The big head, crying and shook his head, not wanting the "smiling tiger" to know too many thoughts.
"Well, I can understand, there is really nothing to worry about. The people around His Majesty plus the arrangement here. Even if the Slanese Dragon Cavalry Legion comes, they may not be able to take advantage of it. They are just a dragon knight who has lost his fighting spirit. Even if they appear in public, they may not be able to do anything. The only thing they need to worry about is the giant dragon. We are not short of magic gods here! We guarantee that it will be back and forth."
The security captain Hughes looked calm and confident and optimistic, and felt that the intelligence department's big boss was really thinking too much.
"You are right! There is only one person on the other side. Even if there are other people, they can't make any big waves."
Ye Qi did not intend to reveal to the security captain that he had received news about the Peni Province on the northern border of the empire not long ago. This was too incredible.
A Dragon Knight led a team of Adrichg's defeated generals to loot more than ten towns in succession, and even almost wiped out a city bloody battle. Whether it was the local security team.
If this news is made public, it will definitely cause a considerable shock within the empire and even damage the prestige of His Majesty Hokka Tessey.
Because of this, the Intelligence Department did not dare to underestimate the Dragon Knight from beginning to end. This was also the chance for Ye Qi, who was a big boss, to give the intelligence officer Lei Haqi, who had suffered failures one after another.
Although the isolation belt around the arena and the checkpoints for entry and exit were more stringent than yesterday, Lin Mo was not blocked by any means and easily entered the arena with the bronze medal of the contestant.
Seeing Lord Dragon Knight passing the level successfully, Xiufeng and several other royal secret guards immediately breathed a sigh of relief. They immediately dispersed and carried out their respective division of labor separately.
The two secret guards of the warriors followed the crowd into the arena. They were responsible for the secret cover during the operation, while Chai Ying and Rouge Bream left the capital and prepared to pick up the stronghold outside the city.
As the leader of the secret guard, Xiu Feng quickly disappeared from the crowd and hid in a house rented in advance outside the arena. She had more important tasks, which would determine whether Lin Mo's success in launching the action.
The royal battle stand with the best viewing angle in the arena is covered with comfortable and soft large pieces of animal velvet blankets, palace maids and guards can be seen everywhere, and figures with powerful auras can be seen in the corner.
On the outer edge of the fence opposite the emperor's seat, a royal heraldic flag embroidered with nine hollow slanted diamonds formed a circular array was hung vertically.
The audience for the nobles and civilians was 50 steps away from the viewing platform. Both the organizers’ four chambers of commerce and the palace attached great importance to the safety of the emperor’s trip.
Emperor Hoka Tessy, the emperor of the Tessy Empire, is only in his thirties this year, with a thin face and a beard left on his chin. He is wearing casual clothes with luxurious and comfortable texture. His calm eyes are full of ambitiousness and endless enterprising spirit.
Compared to the previous emperor of the Slan Empire, Cyril Saint Slan, who died early, the young Emperor Tessie was more like a tireless machine. Since he succeeded to the throne, he has been committed to enhancing national strength and expanding territory.
The blockbuster unmanned desert of the Adrichg Empire bordering the western border is obviously not a good choice, not to mention the endless desert bandits. The Tennett Minar swamp unmanned land in the north and the Ibiza state meant endless harassment and dangerous areas that were difficult to explore. Although there is a Masaron Principality between the Anstraser Empire in the south, for the Tessy Empire, losing the Masaron buffer is obviously not in the interests of the Tessy Empire.
The Slan Empire to the east became the best target for the Tessians' territorial needs.
Although it lasted for five years and had just come to an end, the national war, which was dubbed by historians and the public, was declared by the Slans on their own initiative. Apart from fighting with the Slans, the Tessians failed to gain any advantage in the end.
But behind the series of frictions and conflicts before the war, there was a faint shadow of this young Emperor Tessey.
The heavy casualties in the decisive battle of the Hailar Central Mountains forced the two countries to end the battle. Although they reconciled peace with the Slans, Hoka Tessey never gave up.
Behind the conspiracy that almost dragged the Slan Empire into the abyss, he was still secretly pushing hands.
Not long after the emperor and his ministers sat down on the viewing platform, the nearby audience was soon filled.
Being able to watch the gladiatorial contest with His Majesty the Emperor, whether it is a civilian or aristocrat, without exception, frequently turn his eyes to the stands with excitement.
Some even shouted out in vain.
"Long live your Majesty! Long live the empire!"
"The Tessy Empire will prosper forever!"
It was like a stone hitting a thousand waves, and the shouts in the arena became louder and more tidy.
Although the Tessy Empire and the Slan Empire almost even had their brains to come up with, the people still supported and loved their emperor. If this kind of courage and fanaticism had not permeated all levels of society, Hokka Tessy would not have repeatedly used methods to target the Slan Empire, and would not have become a successful monarch.
"Your Majesty! The contestants have entered the field. Can you start?"
The chief manager of the Gladiator bowed to greet his emperor.
"Let's start! Also tell those warriors that if they survive, I will recommend them to the commanders. The top ten generals in the competition will be received by me, and the top three can get a weapon or magic weapon tailored by the master."
The emperor naturally had the same grandeur as the emperor. Hoka Tessey nodded and added another irresistible heavy prize to the competition.
"Thank you for your grace!"
The chief manager bowed again with joy and respectfully withdrew from the royal battle stand.
The news was immediately spread throughout the audience by the host of the Gladiator's Wind-type spell amplification, causing bursts of exclamations in the audience. The value of the Gladiator's competition hosted by the four major chambers of commerce increased immediately.
It is equivalent to a chance to advance to the top, even if you give your life for it, it is worth it. Therefore, the value of the gladiator competition hosted by the four chambers of commerce immediately doubled.
Money, honor, power, status, and even opponents who can fight happily. After the first few rounds of fighting, the fifty-one contestants who entered the sixth round were almost going crazy.
The sword energy tear opens the air, making a shrill whistling sound, the spell explodes, and the violent waves of air spread fiercely, and the shouts and continuous chanting became the themes in the duel area since the first battle of the opening.
The contestants no longer hold back and want to defeat or even kill opponents with the fastest efficiency, making every battle particularly intense.
When Lin Mo stepped into the arena that had become familiar again, he came to him with the almost overwhelming cheers.
This is not just for him, but for the welcome of every warrior who enters the sixth round of battle.
"748! Come on!"
The sound from the royal battle stand made Lin Mo look at him.
In the tall stands, a figure with a red warrior rising all over his body held up a scepter and signaled to him, and the sounds in the entire arena immediately rose to a step again.
