Long Live the Call of Heroes

Chapter 171 - The Fighting Tournament
After finishing this matter, although there is still some time left, Li Wei decided to take his subordinates to the Spartan village to rest and prepare for the next gladiatorial meeting.

Then on the way, he also summoned the bard, wanting to know more about the situation.

It's a pity that although this guy's eyes are brighter than before, he still looks like he doesn't know what to ask. It even makes Li Wei doubt whether he is qualified for the profession of bard. After all, generally speaking, they are all in the team. Responsible for setting the atmosphere.

But as far as fighting is concerned, he has a lot of intelligence, or instinct.

He encountered a group of wild beasts on the road. After he used oil on the soles of his feet, he rushed up with a long sword. Not to mention chopping melons and vegetables, he easily killed his opponents by virtue of his speed.

With the heroic spirit's racial talent, he can now float up to about 3 meters above the ground, and can also fly at short distances at low altitudes like wind elements. Although the maximum height still cannot exceed 3 meters, coupled with physical resistance Yes, ordinary melee enemies will become very helpless when facing him.

And even if he gets injured occasionally, he can still heal himself. Although he is not very aggressive, his life-saving ability is quite good.

It's his acting skills that make Li Wei feel unsatisfactory, and I don't know if it's because the beast-like enemies can't understand the performance. In short, when he is alone against the enemy, he is often forced to interrupt the performance by the opponent, thus being forced into close combat. And even if it is really successful, the effect is not very good.

There was no way, Li Wei could only stuff him in again, at worst, he would use it as a healing summoner first, and wait for him to upgrade a few times to see what happened.

However, he took the opportunity to roughly understand the characteristics of battle heroes. In short, they are like low-profile versions of battle heroes. They have no battle level and no battle skills, but their potential is still far superior to ordinary troops.

Because they can continuously upgrade their level, change equipment, wear magic items, etc., which is unmatched by ordinary low-level arms.

At the same time, the wolf patrol did not disappoint his expectations, and soon abducted a brand-new Gaidin Celestial Clan-the antler envoy.

Except for the lush antlers on the head and a pair of iron hooves under the legs, the other parts of the opponent looked almost the same as normal humans, except that the height was a little higher than ordinary people, and the difference in antlers was only about [-] meters.

As a Tier 4 unit, he uses a long spear as a weapon, which meets the requirements of this gladiatorial meeting.

In addition to the good basic attributes, he also has a number of combat skills such as powerful charge, spear, horn of purification, blessing, and limited lay on hands. If he is allowed to step into the battlefield, his combat effectiveness must not be underestimated.

It's a pity that in the gladiatorial tournament, only fighters can be used to win, and his actual combat effectiveness will be greatly affected, but even so, the attribute panels of Tier 4 units are still quite competitive.

It's just that Li Wei's current strength is not enough, so the antler envoy didn't sign a permanent summoning contract with him immediately, but planned to take a look first.

Li Wei didn't have any dissatisfaction either. Summoning intelligent human-type arms such as Yakong and Gaiding Celestial Clan was originally voluntary for both parties, otherwise, not to mention passive sabotage or something serious, there may be a witch Tiwa In that kind of situation, after finally summoning Guangya to come out, the other party directly swung his sword at her on the spot.

Returning to the village with a happy mood, Li Wei discovered that the action efficiency of these Spartans was unexpectedly high.

In just a few hours, they had completely changed the atmosphere of the village, filled with flowers and laurel wreaths, and smiling, high-spirited Spartans.

At the same time, he also noticed that when they entered the village, many people stared at them eagerly.

He had some misunderstandings at first, thinking that these guys also saw through the beauty under Donna's thick tattoos, so they were attracted, but he soon found out that this was not the case, because not only Donna, but even Zhou Miyin and others were also treated extraordinarily. s concern.

He immediately understood that it must be because of what the village chief said. Donna and Zhou Mi are likely to receive special attention in the upcoming gladiatorial competition.

After figuring this out, Donna also frowned a little. She had always been proud of her hero status, even proud, but she was not arrogant enough to think that she could defeat so many challengers in front of her. After all, spears were not What she is best at, and the area of ​​this place is extremely limited, in fact, it is not enough for her to move around.

But it is completely impossible to talk about fear or something. Amazon has never had this concept in its heart!
After thinking about it, Li Wei gathered all the equipment on everyone's body, such as Cindy's power ring, Zhou Miyin's troll blood bracelet, etc., to strengthen Donna's combat effectiveness in disguise.

Even Janet wanted to lend her big mushroom hat to Donna, but she declined. Although that thing can increase the upper limit of life by 30 points, which is really good, but it will seriously hinder the line of sight in actual battles.

Then Li Wei summoned the Antler Envoy again, intending to confirm with the village chief whether he could be allowed to participate in the battle.

Then he found that the eyes of all the Spartans who saw this scene became more fiery, and now he became more and more sure that the village chief must have said something to them, and nine out of ten planned to use his own The subordinates go to sharpen and motivate these Spartans!

However, his calculations were quite good, but Tang Na and the others were not so easy to handle.

As he had speculated, the next thing went very smoothly. The village chief agreed to their participation in the war without hesitation at all, and after paying a negligible fee, he quickly led Li Wei to the VIP seat. , the attitude is much more enthusiastic than before.

Li Wei took a look and found that there were only a few old men with white beards in front of him and behind him. They should be the elders of the village, but despite their old faces, their muscles were as strong and powerful as young people, and they were indeed a warlike race.

Then he also saw a few two-person-high stone statues rising from the central area of ​​the arena without knowing what mechanism was triggered.

It could be placed in this kind of place, either it was a powerful ancestor who had appeared in the village, or it should be the god they believed in.

Sure enough, after a few chats, Li Wei learned that they were indeed statues of gods.

The Spartans believed in Zeus, the god of the sky and thunder, Apollo, the god of light and medicine, and Dionysus, the god of wine.

Li Wei suddenly felt a little weird, because he had heard of these gods from Donna before.
So he tentatively asked, "The goddess of hunting, Artemis, and the god of bravery and fearlessness, Diana?"

The village chief was a little surprised when he heard the words, as if he was surprised that he could say these two names, but soon he realized that the other party was a mage, so he put this doubt behind him. For me, knowing these secret names is a matter of course.

"Because our village advocates melee combat and never uses bows and arrows, and the status of women is relatively low, so..."

The village chief didn't say anything more, but Li Wei could roughly understand it. After a long time, these Spartans actually believed in the same group of gods as Donna and the others Amazon. Presumably, Donna, who had already entered the arena, would not be in a calm mood at the moment. ?
But this is not incomprehensible. Paradise Island and this high elf colony face each other across the sea. If you really want to spread the faith, it is relatively easy.

I just don't know if this is some kind of coincidence or if it was done on purpose.

There are too many gods in this world. Human gods alone include many different systems. Kislev, the Sigmar Empire, the Kingdom of Bretonnian Knights, and the southern countries all have very different gods. , the overall number is hundreds.

Faith and believers are precious wealth to most gods. In this case, no matter what means they use to win believers, it is understandable.

After a few more glances, something was wrong with Li Wei's eyes, because he found that something unexpected happened in the venue.

The Spartans he had seen before were basically naked men, but now there were two types of armored troops.

A kind of heavy bronze armor, every move is quite powerful, like a small human tank;
The other is wearing medium armor, but the spear in his hand is extraordinarily long, probably five or six meters long.

Although he has the explorer ring, he is useless for the time being. On the one hand, it is not very polite, and it is likely to arouse hostility from the other party. On the other hand, the village chief is by his side, so he can ask directly.

Facing his question, the village chief did not hide anything, but replied very proudly: "The heavy armored ones are Spartan Royal Guards, who are usually proficient in swordsmanship, and the other is Spartan Predators. Their spears are especially powerful. They are good at fighting against cavalry and large enemies, and when they usually step into the battlefield, they will carry a certain number of short spears with them for throwing."

"How about class?"

"They are all Tier 3 special units. They are rare in number, but they are powerful. After this battle, they should be able to advance smoothly. Even elite units have great hope."

The village chief stroked his beard with a smile, obviously very pleased and proud.

But Li Wei was a little worried about his own people, so he ran over directly and said seriously: "Donna, don't care too much about the result, life is more important than the so-called reward."

Donna smiled: "Don't worry, I know that it would be too miserable if her life was taken in a competition. On Paradise Island, I have already seen the fate of one of my unlucky sisters. I swear, I will never be next."

Li Wei's heart suddenly moved, and he felt that there must be something in Donna's words, and most of them had something to do with the battle heroes, the spirit of heroes, and the ax she asked him to prepare before.

Hard to do.
But since Donna didn't say anything, there's no need for him to ask further. Anyway, she said before that she will conduct a certain trial in the next few days. I believe that he will be able to see the other party in person soon, and all the answers will be answered by then. will be completely uncovered.

So he just nodded, and then turned his head to look at Zhou Miyin, Simon and the others: "It's the same for you, this opportunity is rare, but only by working hard to survive can we have a broader future."

There is no shortage of geniuses in this world, but geniuses who die halfway, no matter how legendary the stories they leave behind, will soon disappear with the wind.

Everyone nodded, they are not fools, of course they can understand this truth.

At this time, a whistle sounded in the distance, and everyone knew that the wrestling conference was about to officially start. Li Wei finally smiled and waved to everyone: "Then I wish you all a good time, see you later!"

Then he stepped back and sat back in the VIP seat, and then Donna and the others were also led into the passage behind.

According to the rules, they are not allowed to form a group, which is somewhat unfavorable to them to a certain extent. After all, except for them, the rest are people from the same village, but there is no way, the village chief is very firm in this regard, Li Wei It can only be accepted.

But as long as they want to save face, they should not engage in malicious targeting in the first round. As long as they pass this juncture, it should be relatively easy to stand out from the crowd with the strength of Donna and others.

As the combatants entered the arena from more than a dozen entrances, apart from Donna and the others who were assigned to different areas, Li Wei was also slightly surprised to find that this small village with a total of only a few hundred people had more than [-] people. Two hundred people participated, these guys are really not afraid of death.

But at the same time, he also noticed that except for less than ten special soldiers, all other Spartans were bare-chested and only wore a pair of shorts on the lower body. In other words, except for Donna, in this gladiatorial meeting No more women!
For her, would this be luck, or misfortune?
Without too many prologues, the village head quickly announced the official start of the gladiatorial meeting: "Our rules are very simple. The first round is a big melee, until half of the players are left, all members will enter the second round."

"Only by surviving will there be a future!"

Li Wei couldn't help raising his eyebrows. This sentence doesn't sound like a Spartan style, and it's similar to what he just said. Is it a pure coincidence, or is this guy eavesdropping?

But soon his attention was distracted, because as soon as his words fell, the entire arena erupted instantly, and almost all the Spartans began to attack the people closest to them.

However, there are still some exceptions, that is, apart from some ordinary Spartans, there are also several royal guards and predators who ran towards the Antlers at the same time. The purpose is obvious, they want to eliminate this strongest man first enemy.

The village chief coughed dryly: "I didn't ask them to do this, but we Spartans are born to love fighting and hunting powerful prey. It seems that he has become the target of the boys."

Li Wei shrugged his shoulders. He expected this, but he didn't expect these guys to do it so obviously. It seems that the Antlers are going to go for a round. Although he is a Tier 4 unit, he can't use other magic and Without skills, there is only one end to suffering this kind of siege.

But that's okay, with him attracting firepower, Donna and the others should be much safer, right?
