Beast Throne

Chapter 710 The Grand Arena

The Royal Arena, also known as the Grand Dueling Arena or the Grand Colosseum, is the largest arena in the Tianyang Empire, and it is also the largest arena on the mainland.Its building type is similar to the stadiums of later generations, but it is different in various places.

On a continent full of magic and martial arts, there is no concept of sports competition. The only purpose of building an arena is naturally duels, and watching duels is undoubtedly the favorite entertainment of mainland residents. There is no one.

There are also many types of duels, the most common being duels between nobles.The aristocrats are detached, and the laws of the empire do not have much binding force on them.Especially for those rich and noble families, the law is just a dead letter.If there is a conflict between two great nobles, and no one can arbitrate them, then duel becomes the only and most effective means.

The conflicting parties only need to agree on the number and method of the duel, and then notify the city arena.The manager of the arena will arrange a good time for them, and at the same time announce the news of the duel, inviting celebrities from all sides and the general public to watch the battle.In a duel under the eyes of everyone, the loser would naturally be ashamed to play tricks, otherwise the family's reputation would be lost.

In a way, fighting a duel was even more binding than legal arbitration.It is precisely because of this that the city arena has a special name - the noble court.The manager of the arena is either the city lord or the most powerful nobleman in a city.

However, the nobles were not so bored that they came to duel to play. When there was no noble duel, the arena would arrange some battles by itself.For example, the arena will often hold group arenas to attract the strong to come to fight. The winner will get a large sum of money or a certain treasure, and the arena can make money by setting up games.

The group arena is not the most exciting duel, the bloodiest duel is the beast fight.Some arenas will acquire Warcraft for domestication, and then allow challengers to fight against Warcraft.This kind of specially trained Warcraft is much more vicious than humans, and they don't know what it means to show mercy.There are only three outcomes in a beast fight, either kill the monster, or be torn to pieces by the monster, or both sides perish.

But the Royal Arena is not just an ordinary city arena, it has an extremely important historical position in the Tianyang Empire, and it even existed before the establishment of the Tianyang Empire.One of the founding generals of the Tianyang Empire, Grand Duke Blazing Ax, who has the same status as Duke Tulip, was born in the arena and used to be a slave fighter in the arena.

The life experience of the Duke of Blazing Ax is very mysterious. No one knows where he came from, and no one knows why he was caught in the arena. Moreover, he is a slave fighter with the lowest status and may be killed at any time.You must know that the mainland banned slave hunting a long time ago, and the number of slaves is not large. Usually only the heinous people and prisoners of war will be reduced to slaves.

But the Duke of Blazing Ax obviously does not belong to these two types of people. First of all, there is no record of his trial at all, so naturally he cannot be a prisoner.It is even more impossible for prisoners of war. The management of prisoners of war is stricter than that of prisoners, and they will have a mark and number on their chests before being sent to the arena.Although the Duke of Blazing Ax has some weird tattoos, he has no number. Obviously he is not a prisoner of war.

Of course, these things were only paid attention to after the Duke of Blazing Ax became famous. As a slave soldier, he might turn into a cold corpse at any time, so no one cared about his origin.

The strong can stand out in any environment, even the Shura battlefield where death may occur at any time.Perhaps for the Duke of Blazing Axe, the grand arena is the most suitable environment for him.While other slave warriors had to curry favor with the powerful nobles in order to obtain more weapons and armor in order to save their lives, the Duke of Blazing Ax succeeded in obtaining Hundreds of victories, and all of them were complete victories.He seemed to be a born fighter, born to fight, and no matter what kind of opponent he faced, even a ferocious monster would not back down half a step, as if there was no such negative emotion as fear in his heart.

Even after he later became a general and stepped onto the battlefield, facing thousands of troops instead of individual fighters, the Duke of Blazing Ax still did not change his brave style.He doesn't need a mount, and even refuses to wear armor. He can intimidate his enemies with only his giant axe.

If Nanna's ancestor, the Duke of Tulip, was a gorgeous golden flower blooming on the battlefield, then the Duke of Blazing Ax was an eternal flame.The two are comparable, and eventually both became the Grand Duke of the Empire, the left and right arm of the founding emperor.

Time has changed, the sea has changed, thousands of years have passed, and the two romantic figures have finally become legends, and their descendants have gradually declined.Only Nanna and her useless brother are left in the dignified Tulip family, and the Duke of Blazing Ax lost his inheritance a long time ago. He probably only thinks of him by chance when he sees the Royal Colosseum.

It's just that the Duke of Blazing Ax would never have imagined that the arena he was famous for would one day become an open-air cage where hundreds of thousands of people were imprisoned.If Quanxia knew, I am afraid that the warlike duke would come back with a large group of creatures from the underworld.

That's right, according to previous investigations, all the surviving residents in the city were detained in the big arena. After all, only here is the space big enough to accommodate so many people.In order to prevent the residents from starving to death, the demons will deliver food once a day, but it is only to keep the residents alive.

"Your Highness, we can't go any further." In the dark shadows, Caron, who was in charge of the investigation, retracted his fake eyes and said respectfully to Su Tu.

A group of them had arrived near the Royal Colosseum and were currently hiding under a low wall.Probably for the convenience of monitoring, the demons demolished the buildings near the arena, and couldn't find any place to hide.The reason why Su Tu and others could not be found was with the help of shadow magic.

"I see." Su Tu said in a deep voice, while placing a small hexagonal mirror in front of his eyes.This mirror is a magical product through which it is possible to discover things that are invisible to the naked eye.For example, through this mirror at this time, you can see many red shadows floating in the air around the arena, and those are shadow demons in charge of surveillance.

Demons such as shadow demons, succubi, and mind eaters have no physical bodies, so it is difficult to find them at night, and they can also wander around, making them perfect watchers.But this is not the most important thing. The most troublesome thing is that the Shadow Demons have special contact methods. Unless they can be wiped out all at once, once one of them is attacked, all Shadow Demons within a certain range will be able to detect it.

"Tralay, is the distance here enough?" After observing for a while, Sutu let out a breath, trying to keep his mind calm.It can be said that it is the penultimate step to get here, and it is only the last move, so you must not make mistakes.

"Yes, but it's best to find opportunities to enter the arena as originally planned." Tlaley, the short man holding a long staff, said in a low voice.

Although they are all subordinates of Su Tu, his status is a little special.Most of the people who are willing to be subordinates are from ordinary backgrounds, especially the people around Su Tu, who basically have the idea of ​​turning salty fish over.But Tlaley is different. He comes from a mysterious summoner family, and he can be reused no matter where he goes.Especially in this operation, Tralay can be said to have contributed the most, without him there would be no such operation.

Su Tu frowned. Since Tra Lei said so, no matter how difficult it was, he could only find a way to satisfy him.

"Caron, are you sure there are no devils at the level of a demon king?" Sutu asked again after careful consideration.Although the Shadow Demon was troublesome, it was weak after all. What Su Tu was most worried about was that there were particularly powerful demons stationed here.

"Probably not, it's the same as before." Caron shook his head. Although he was not a combatant, he was the most tired in this period of time.At Sutu's request, Caron controlled his fake eyes and flew into the city to investigate almost every day, to find out the movements of the demons, especially the situation around the arena.

The farther the distance is, the more mental energy it takes for Karon to control the artificial eye, and he is in an overdrawn state almost every day. However, during this period of time, Karon's ability has also been enhanced a lot.

Sutu still believed in Caron's investigative ability. After hearing his answer, he nodded slightly, then turned around and said, "Fenli, use the darkness to attack."

"Your Highness, are you sure?" Fenli, the only shadow mage in the team, the bald man who used the shadow cloak stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, with my ability, I can only use Shadow Impact once at most. I will lose all my magic powers, and I can no longer help you."

"It's okay." Su Tu's tone was firm, and he seemed to have made up his mind, "It only takes one time. Is it possible to make all the shadow demons disappear at once?"

Fenli didn't answer, but heaved a long sigh of relief, put the shadow cloak on himself, and closed his eyes at the same time, his whole body was suddenly enveloped in darkness, as if all the light had been absorbed by it.At the same time, the others gathered around Su Tu, their faces solemn as if they were on guard.

After losing the cover of the shadow cloak, Su Tu and others were immediately exposed to the moonlight, and there were no buildings nearby to cover them. They were soon spotted by a shadow demon wandering nearby.At this time, it is too late to kill him even if he takes an instant shot. The shadow demons have a special way of contacting each other. Being discovered by a shadow demon is equivalent to being discovered by a large group of shadow demons. I believe that the news that Su Tu and others will appear soon It was spread and spread to the ears of Jiabo and other demon kings.

It's just that the Shadow Demons didn't get what they wanted this time. At the same time Su Tu and the others were discovered, the bald man Fenli opened his eyes, and a black shock wave centered on his brow and moved westward in all directions at an extremely fast speed. Disperse.

This shock wave was very strange, it did not cause any physical vibrations, not even a speck of dust was blown up.But when the dark shock passed by, Su Tu and the others turned dark and their bodies were on the verge of falling, as if they lost their sanity in an instant.

However, compared with those shadow demons, the situation of Su Tu and others can be completely ignored.After the black impact, all the Shadow Fiends dissipated instantly like balloons that had been punctured, leaving nothing left.
