Alien Knights

Cotton's body was scattered on the ground in pieces, and the sound of the giant wolves gnawing flesh and gnawing bones echoed over the arena, causing everyone's hair to stand on end.

Someone recognized the true colors of these monsters - war beasts.

Panic spread like a plague in an instant.

Shouting and howling, the terrified audience stood up from their seats, scrambling to escape to the rear exit.

As for the gladiators on the field, they were only a dozen meters away from the wolves, and they were already overwhelmed by the bloody scene in front of them.

"Cunning Fox" Besson was the first to react, and he whispered to the people around him: "Don't make any noise, take advantage of these war beasts not noticing us, back slowly."

Everyone retreated as promised, and before they had taken a few steps, one person turned around and ran away because he couldn't bear the tragedy in front of him.

An alert giant wolf, noticing the strangeness in front of him, raised his head to look at the prey not far away, raised his head to the sky and let out a loud howl, and the other monsters stopped eating one after another, and turned their heads in the direction of the gladiator.

"Oh, shit!" Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, Besson turned around and ran away.

While running, he took out several throwing knives from his pocket and threw them without hesitation. The target of the attack was not the giant wolf behind him, but the thighs or insteps of the gladiators around him. Using the lives of these companions, he bought himself time to escape.

Toddler led Deirdre to the wall at the end of the arena, with a towering wall in front of him and a pack of wolves getting closer behind him.

Looking at the trembling woman beside him, Todd looked around anxiously, with only one thought in his mind, what should he do next?

There were screams in the distance, and several more gladiators were caught up by giant wolves, and their bodies were instantly dismembered.

At this moment of life and death, an object suddenly appeared in sight, which made Todd's eyes shine.

The chain that was unloaded from the winch.

"Stay here until I come back!" Todd left Deirdre where he was, and quickly ran towards the iron chain in the center of the field.

Rolling over on the ground, with the chain on his back, Todd started running back to Deirdre at full speed.

Tie one end of the iron chain into a slipknot, and Todd pointed it at the iron railing on the top of the fence, and threw it up forcefully.

The gladiators who escaped from the giant wolf were killed by the wolf one after another, only "Sly Fox" Besson was left, still running wildly.

Seeing Todd's move to take the iron chain, Besen instantly understood his plan, changed direction, and fled in their direction.

When Bessen was still a dozen steps away from Todd, seeing that the latter had fastened the iron chain, a trace of malice flashed in the former's eyes. He took out three throwing knives and threw them forward.

The flying knife drew a straight line in the air and stabbed Todd's back.

Ding ding ding!

Contrary to what Besson expected, the throwing knives hit Todd's back, and there was a sound of hitting metal, and they were bounced to the ground one by one.

Todd glanced back at Besson, his eyes were cold and unfriendly, which made the latter shudder and dare not make mistakes.

Supporting Deirdre, Todd asked her to climb up the iron chain first and climb into the stands behind the wall. Then he picked up the sword and shield on the ground and climbed up. Bethan followed him and climbed up to the stands last.

Seeing the wolves roaming and roaring below the fence, Deirdre, who survived the catastrophe, asked Todd joyfully, "Are we safe?"

To Deirdre's surprise, Todella took her hand and ran towards the exit of the spectator stand at full speed, shouting loudly: "No! It's too early to talk about safety!"

Facts should prove Todd's words.

This group of spiked giant wolves put their front paws on the wall, and their sharp blade-like claws pierced into the stone wall, causing these war beasts to start climbing up the wall.

As early as the end of the Battle of Beishi, Huggins introduced the war beasts of the northern barbarians in detail in his report to Todd, focusing on the description of this giant wolf that can climb walls.

Seeing that the giant wolf would soon climb up the stands, Toddler dragged Deirdre, followed by "Sly Fox" Besson, and the three of them ran towards the exit of the aisle at the end of the stands.

When they actually came to the exit of the stands, the three of them were stunned by the scene in front of them.

People, people everywhere.

Those spectators who should have escaped from the venue were all stranded here. In the narrow aisle and the small square in front of the gate, the people shoulder to shoulder, gathered at least a thousand people.

Amidst the noise and cries, Besen pushed aside the crowd in front of him and cursed loudly: "Are you guys crazy? Why don't you run away?!"

Someone pointed at the gate in despair. At this moment, Besen realized that the gate of the stand had been blocked long after the audience had entered the arena.

This also means that thousands of people in this small space will soon become food for wolves.

"Those war beasts have already climbed onto the stands." Queen Maeve looked down from above, and said to Conchi Ub in a drawn-out tone, "The gates to the stands are still closed, and you still don't plan to order them to open?"

Conchi Ub's eyes were red, like a wounded beast, he swallowed a mouthful of red wine, and said nothing.

"The gladiator and his lover may die at the mouth of wolves, but many people will die as well, so it doesn't matter?"

"There will always be sacrifices..."

Conchi Ub's almost heartless words attracted Maeve's contemptuous gaze.

In front of the gate of the grandstand, the crowd patted on the door, and the cries for help, pleading, and prayers of men, women, the elderly, and children were mixed together, and they could be heard clearly even hundreds of meters away.

Bessen shook the latch like crazy and shouted loudly, "I can't die here!"

I don't know who shouted at this time: "The wolves have climbed up the stands!"

The people who heard this became even more confused. Some people tried to climb the ten-meter-high outer wall, but it was in vain; some knelt on the ground, praying to various gods for the coming of the savior.

Todd placed Deirdre in an unoccupied corner at the end of the aisle. Hearing the howling of wolves not far away, he quietly untied the dagger and round shield from his back.

Without too many exhortations or provocative words, just "wait for me", Todd stood up and strode towards the entrance of the aisle.

As Todd walked, he shouted to the crowd behind him: "Bethan the Fox! I know you can hear me. If you don't want to die, come over and guard the intersection with me!"

Todd's shout attracted everyone's attention. Seeing the gladiator resolutely walking towards the pack of wolves, the people stopped crying and shouting, with reverence and gratitude in their eyes.

Quietly closing his eyes for a few seconds, when Todd opened his eyes again, the shield in his left hand was raised in front of his chest, the dagger in his right hand was hidden by his side, and at the same time he looked back at the aisle behind him.

This aisle is three meters high, two meters wide, and about eleven meters long. It is the only passage leading to the exit of the stands. As long as you can hold this place, you can ensure the safety of the people in the square in front of the gate.

Soon, the first mutated giant wolf appeared in Todd's field of vision.

This swift-moving, sharp-toothed monster leaped from the edge of the stands and pounced on the gladiators at the aisle below.

The scene on the training ground in the past flashed back in his mind. Todd used his shield to firmly block the giant wolf's claws, and his body slid back fifty centimeters due to the huge inertia. Then he swung the shield violently and hit the giant wolf's jaw heavily.

Then, the second and third giant wolves that came quickly attacked at the same time.

Todd took a small step back, and while the two giant wolves were still in the air, he stabbed the dagger at the chest of one of them.

A wail from a wild beast spread along the aisle. Some daring spectators came to the end of the aisle with trembling steps, and stretched their heads to see what happened.

Seeing Todd, who was fighting with the wolves, and the two wolf corpses on the ground, the audience shouted excitedly: "Oh my God! It's the 'Red Champion'! He's single-handedly fighting the entire pack of beasts!"

At the same time, on the high viewing platform, Queen Maeve put her hands on her chest while watching the fierce battle at the aisle, and sighed sincerely: "I have never seen such a man... This is a real warrior!"

Conchi Ub stared at the figure fighting bravely among the wolves, and said through gritted teeth, "He won't last long!"

As more and more giant wolves appeared at the passage, Todd had to retreat and take advantage of the terrain to reduce the number of enemies engaged at the same time.

First, the shield slashed down, smashing the sky cap of a giant wolf; then, the short sword thrust out and pierced another enemy's eye socket. A giant wolf crawling on the ground saw the timing and stretched out its sharp claws on Todd's calf from the gap under the shield, leaving three deep wounds.

The injured Todd couldn't stand and fell to the ground, but he didn't expect a giant wolf to take advantage of this opportunity, jump over his head, and ran into the aisle, about to pounce on innocent people.

A throwing knife hit the chest of the giant wolf, and a dagger pierced the heart of the slippery fish.

The one who threw the throwing knife was "Cunning Fox" Besson, but the one who used the dagger was Deirdre.

The two came behind Todd and began to serve as a support force to help the former deal with these giant wolves.

Seeing this scene, some enthusiastic people could no longer remain indifferent. They removed the chairs in the stands, picked up stones on the ground, and joined the ranks of fighting the beasts one after another.

A tragic battle involving the death of thousands of people took place in this narrow aisle. People put their lives on the sword and shield of a gladiator, but they also witnessed the birth of a hero's legend.

Twenty minutes later, the aisle was filled with corpses of mutated giant wolves, the stone walls on both sides were stained red with blood stains, and the stone slabs under their feet were flowing with blood enough to cover the insteps of their feet.

Amidst the earth-shattering cheers and praises of the people, Todd, who had become a "blood man" from head to toe, calmly walked through the aisle and came to the closed door at the exit.

People looked at this gladiator who guarded the weak with his life and honor, cast admiring eyes from the heart, and offered the most sincere blessings without hesitation.

Throwing the sword and shield in his hand on the ground, Todd touched the door of the exit with his hand.

Under everyone's incomprehensible gaze, Todd took a few steps back first, then kicked his feet on the ground, and his body hit the door like a shell fired from a chamber.

Seeing the scene in front of him, "Sly Fox" Besen was dumbfounded: "Could it be that he wanted to push away with his body... This is crazy!"

Even those who have watched Todd single out the wolves think that this behavior is completely futile.

Among all the people, only Deirdre said with firm eyes: "No! He can do it!"

As the body retreated, ran up, and slammed again, Todd's speed became faster and stronger, and the impact sound became louder and louder.

In the end, every battering-hammer strike of his caused the ground to shake and the walls to tremble.

People have also changed from initial doubts to endless fanaticism.

"The Red Champion!"

"The Red Champion!"

With loud shouts of encouragement and crazy collisions, the door at the exit crashed to the ground.

The long-lost light spilled into the crowd, and the fresh air filled the lungs again.

Besen looked at the back immersed in the light, and muttered to himself: "Perhaps those guys are right, he may really be the incarnation of God of War..."

Just when everyone was still rejoicing that they had narrowly escaped death, a group of soldiers surrounded the exit and aimed their spears, bows and arrows at the people. .

The leading commander yelled at the crowd: "By the king's order, we are here to arrest the rebel leader Boyle and the traitor Deirdre! Please don't panic, under our inspection, one by one from here..."

"You bastards!" A well-dressed Ulster nobleman stood up, pointed at the soldiers in front of him, and cursed: "We have been locked in for so long! When we are about to become monster food, where are you sons of bitches?! Now you have the nerve to ask us to cooperate?!"

The people who were filled with righteous indignation criticized loudly, and some grumpy people even picked up stones on the ground and threw them hard at the soldiers.

"Go away! The lackey of the tyrant!"

"Coward! Disgrace to Ulster!"

"Shameless murderers! I will compose your crimes into poems, and let the bards sing in every kingdom in the north!"

Todd took Deirdre's hand, looked at the chaos in front of him, and was thinking of ways to get out. An old man beside him suddenly took off his robe and handed it to him: "Champion of Red, put this on quickly."

Another lady also took off her expensive cloak and wrapped it around Deirdre.

Someone in the crowd yelled, "Get out! Beat these sons of bitches to death!"

Hundreds of people surrounded Todd and Deirdre, and rushed to the soldiers in formation. They broke up the formation of the army and ran into the streets and alleys of the kingdom.

When the army commander came back to his senses and wanted to find the prisoner again, Todd and Deirdre could no longer be found in the vast crowd.
