Alien Knights

Todd's ten opponents were faintly divided into three camps.

Three Beidao people covered in carvings, each with two axes, stood at the front of the line.

Warriors of five barbarian tribes, four men and one woman, stand in the middle.

The last two people, one tall and thin, the other thick and strong, looked a bit like people from the southern plains.

After evaluating the strength of the enemy in front of him, Todd twisted the long sword in his hand into a sword flower, and put the shield on his chest.

In his mind, he remembered a sentence that Cumberland once said to him on the battlefield: Any enemy that appears in the form of a battle group, no matter how well coordinated, there will definitely be flaws in the formation when marching and attacking.

Todd put his body behind the shield and took a defensive stance, looking at the ten people in front of him, wondering if everything was true.

as expected.

Seeing that Todd did not attack, a small dispute arose between the ten gladiators in terms of tactical arrangements.

In the end, the North Islanders, eager to take Todd's head off, took the lead in attacking.

The three gladiators suddenly increased their speed to the fastest speed and rushed straight towards Todd, regardless of the loud yelling from others behind them.

After estimating the time and distance, Todd slowly backed away, opening the gap between the enemies.

Amidst the exclamation of the audience, Todd lowered his body, first used his shield to block the axe of the fastest charging person, then he pushed forward, got into the enemy's arms, put the enemy on the shield, and slammed it.

The Bei Dao soldier left his feet off the ground, and his body was pushed into the air by the huge force from the shield.

Todd saw the timing, and turned his body 360 degrees in the air. Taking advantage of the moment the enemy fell, the long sword drew a beautiful arc in the air, and cut off the opponent's neck impartially.

The sword light turned, and blood spattered.

The headless corpse fell to the ground, and the entire arena suddenly fell into silence.

Within fifteen seconds of the opening, one of Todd's opponents was actually killed with one blow.

But it wasn't just that that really stunned everyone present.

The routines of fighting in the northern border are simple and boring. Most of them are cut by you and stabbed by me. Therefore, few people have seen this dance-like combo in front of them.

Applause and applause came and went one after another, and the atmosphere of the scene was like explosives ignited by sparks, completely erupting in the "red circle".

The remaining two Bei Dao fighters in the field first took a few steps back at the same time. After looking at each other, the two gritted their teeth, raised their axes and charged towards Todd again.

Taking a deep breath, Todd, who gave up his defense, ran towards the two opponents quickly.

Seeing that he was about to collide with the two, Todd suddenly leaned back and knelt on the ground. Taking advantage of the momentum of running and the muddy water on the ground, he assumed a posture of "iron bridge" and slid all the way through the enemy's encirclement.

The blade of the ax passed across Todd's nose, and the two North Island gladiators looked at their sides in disbelief, using their slides to avoid the attacking opponent.

When he was in the wrong position, Todd swung his sword with his right hand and crossed one person's lower abdomen; he struck with his left hand shield and hit another person's knee, severely wounding the two North Islanders to the ground.

The gladiator whose belly was slashed had his intestines spilled all over the floor, and he lay on the ground crying nonstop, as if he was dead.

The other person whose knee was shattered struggled to turn around. Just as he was about to observe the enemy's position, a rapidly rotating and expanding shield in his pupils completely brought him into the endless darkness.

Under the watchful eyes of the audience, Todd's series of movements, sprinting, lying on his back, gliding, slashing, and shield bashing, were done in one go, like flowing clouds and flowing water.

In the blink of an eye, the three gladiators from the North Island were killed and injured.

Another wave of tsunami-like cheers erupted from the auditorium, and the father and son sitting in the front row stood up and looked towards the audience. The young man clapped his hands vigorously, his eyes full of intoxication and longing: "Great! The fight was great! Did you see it? Those movements in the battle are like dreams. They are obviously so violent, but they also embody infinite beauty!"

The older man, who was the father, watched Todd walk up to the corpse, picked up the shield, shook his head and said, "Son, although those movements look gorgeous, they are not very feasible in actual combat. When you use the shield to block the attack, it is the most effective and safest way to stab directly with the sword. Combat skills like his, if you go to the battlefield..."

Finding that his son wasn't listening to him at all, the older man sighed and said to himself, "However, having said that, those movements look really pleasing to the eye..."

After wiping the blood on the shield and the clothes of the deceased, Todd looked back. The remaining seven gladiators on the opposite side were full of fear in their eyes, looking at each other in fear.

Recalling his actions just now, Todd laughed.

First use the shield to overturn the enemy, and then somersault to cut off the enemy's head. This combo comes from the action game "God of War" and is also the famous Kui Ye's signature finishing move. As for the sliding shovel passing between two enemies and hitting the left and right enemies with weapons, this move comes from the action game "Conan the Barbarian", and it is also a commonly used action routine in Hollywood blockbusters.

These two sets of moves are far more ornamental than practical. If they are put on the battlefield, they will definitely be scolded by Cumberland as "death courting behavior".

Only a monster like Todd, who has been transformed by supernatural powers, can completely crush his opponent in strength, speed, and reaction ability, regardless of safety, and use these attack moves in a show way.

Moreover, regarding the "Red Circle" arena, Todd also discovered an interesting fact. The audience paid to come in to watch the refreshing battles and gorgeous moves, but the gladiators here, fighting to the death for survival, are far from meeting the requirements in terms of entertainment and viewing.

Just as Todd was thinking, the remaining seven gladiators moved.

Five warriors from the barbarian tribe formed a semicircular formation and slowly approached Todd.

The other two plain people who fell behind started talking in a low voice.

Ackerman, holding a bow and arrow, said without squinting: "Casper, what should we do? Should we help the five people in front, or take a gamble here?"

The knight holding the giant tower shield replied in a muffled voice, "Look again."

Seeing the five barbarian warriors standing in a circle and tightly surrounding him, Todd stood there unhurriedly, patted his shield with his long sword, and shouted loudly.

The two barbarian swordsmen attacked first, one behind the other, one aimed at the top of Todd's head, and the other aimed at his lower body.

Another barbarian spearman approached from Todd's side, stabbing towards his waist with the weapon in his hand.

Of the remaining two barbarian warriors, one is a ranged soldier with a slingshot, and the other is an assassin with a dagger.

The weapons of five people were delivered at the same time, almost sealing off every space for Todd to move.

Just when everyone in the field thought that Todd was going to be injured, the latter completed a series of incredible actions.

Todd first turned sideways to avoid the spear attack; then he raised his shield, shot the slingshot at his own rock, and used the shield to bounce back to change direction, hitting a barbarian swordsman in the eye; then, the blade of the long sword flicked slightly, directly breaking the tendon of another swordsman's hand; finally, as if he had eyes behind him, he was short and dodged the assassin's backstab, and kicked the opponent away.

In just two or three seconds, Todd's movements were so fast that people thought there was an illusion. When people reacted, the attacks of the five barbarian gladiators all failed, and three of them were seriously injured.

Conchierb, who was standing on the high stage of the viewing ceremony, looked at Todd in the center of the venue, stunned, and stuttered to Fogar beside him, asking, "He...how did he do it?!"

The latter was not much better than him, he just had a hellish expression.

After the shock, the five barbarian gladiators, wounded or not, each struggled to return to their fighting positions.

During this period, Todd just watched them quietly without any movement.

On the other side, Casper lifted the tower shield in his hand, and nodded towards Ackerman: "It's time, the chips in our hands are enough."

The two joined the formation of the five gladiators, facing Todd, forming a seven-to-one situation.

After waiting for everyone to take their positions, the seven launched an attack at the same time.

In the shadow of swords and swords, Todd is like a butterfly walking through flowers, dodging attacks, looking for flaws, and counterattacking.

The spectators in the "Red Circle" arena, even those with the most senior qualifications, have never seen such a wonderful and unimaginable battle. The seven people forming the encirclement circle fight around one person, and the surrounded person still has the upper hand.

Others might not know, but Todd knew what was going on.

The two plain gladiators who had just entered the encirclement, one with a huge shield in hand, and the other with a bow and arrow. It seems that they are forming a siege with the other five people and attacking Todd. But in fact, the two were helping him very covertly against the attacks of other gladiators.

Casper swung his huge shield, which seemed to be hitting Todd, but blocked the swordsman's thrust from the side; Ackerman's bow and arrow, which clearly shot at Todd's shoulder, fell inexplicably, blocking the assassin's position.

Discovering the "secret assistance" of these two people, Todd took advantage of the gap in the battle to observe the two "helpers".

He didn't have the impression of the tall and strong shield soldier; however, he always felt that he had seen the tall and thin archer there.

The gladiatorial fight lasted 45 minutes from beginning to end. Of the five barbarian gladiators, three were killed and two were injured; the archers of the two plain gladiators were safe, but the man who used the tower shield was injured in his thigh.

In the end, looking at the remaining five opponents, they were exhausted and limp on the ground, without the slightest desire to fight. Todd gave up the pursuit, but raised his sword and shield high, signaling to the audience that the battle was over, and there should be no more fighting and bloodshed on the field.

Amidst the roaring shouts, the blushing King of Ulster, Conchi Ub, loudly announced the decision to pardon.

The death sentence against Boyle was changed to slavery; as for the remaining five gladiators, it was agreed to give them the right to live.
