Although the retirement of sisnatus has brought a great impact to the victor arena, and the scene of hard to get a ticket and the grandstand full in the past can no longer be seen, the foundation of the arena is still there, and Marcus runs the second largest Gladiator school in the whole city of Rome.
In addition to sisnates, there are some less popular gladiators such as habitus, Nasika, Rufus, and a large number of strong core forces, which can also attract a considerable audience.
As a result, by the end of the day of the performance, two thirds of the seats in the grandstand of the arena had been sold, but Marcus was still a little dissatisfied. After expressing his welcome and respect to several nobles and their families, he went back to his position and frowned again.
In addition to the loss of audience, Marcus also had a headache for the Royal Gladiator show more than a month later.
Regardless of the possible property losses, he knows that there are other troubles waiting for him. The Gladiator school he runs is currently the second largest Gladiator school in the city of Rome, but now it is entering a period of decline, and several competitors are eyeing it.
Therefore, the performance in more than a month's time may also have other meanings. It is not only the new emperor announcing his rule, but also a reshuffle between Gladiator schools. Although Marcus has a lot of cards on hand, he is missing the most important one.
The biggest trump card.
According to the information he got, many Gladiator schools have dug up very powerful new talents. The retreat of sisnates means that gladiators have entered a new era in which heroes come together and compete with each other. At ordinary times, they all hang out in their own territory. Now it's hard to get together. If any Gladiator can stand out and take off the last crown, Then the new king was born.
And the Gladiator school behind him will be the biggest winner.
Why Marcus has been urging Gaby to find a successor for sisnates before, and even giving a death order, there are such factors in it. He doesn't know that Bach will be more secure after a period of training, but he has noticed the impending crisis.
As an enterprising businessman, he knows that he has to make a move, but at the bottom of his heart, he doesn't know whether Bach can defeat the opponents of other Gladiator schools. Maybe he should talk to habitus again and make some concessions
Just as Marcus was lost in thought, the following performance began. The first one was a small orchestra. They stood on a slowly rising platform in the middle of the arena and played the March.
After that, a group of antelopes suddenly ran out of the gate on one side of the arena. When they heard the cheers from the audience, they were frightened and began to run around the arena. One of them wanted to jump to the audience stage, but the arena obviously had corresponding safety measures.
There is a wall about 3 meters under the bottom floor. In addition, there are large nets fixed on the pillars. On the one hand, these nets can stop wild animals, on the other hand, they can keep gladiators in the sight of the audience all the time. Therefore, no one is afraid to see the jumping antelope. Even some ladies stand up and look curiously.
Since Caesar's time, animal performance has been a part of gladiatorial performance, usually before the Gladiator fight.
Unlike most films and TV works, gladiators don't end up fighting these beasts head-on, which belongs to the work of gladiators. In addition, Zhang Heng and varo saw the execution of prisoners before. In addition, the arena will arrange hunting and animal training performances, as well as some fighting between wild animals to entertain the audience.
Now what people see is a hunting performance between the hunter and the antelope, and later, the fight between the lion and the bear. Finally, the winner of them will face the Gladiator.
The arrangement of the whole performance is more and more exciting, and the mood of the audience is also more and more tense. Especially when the beast fighter comes on stage, he climbs to a peak. Both men and women shout the name of the beast fighter together, watch him fight with the beast in front of him, Dodge left and right, evade the attack of claws again and again, and leave scars on the prey with their weapons.
And his opponents are becoming more and more manic.
There is nothing more charming than looking into the eyes of the God of death, constantly mocking death and escaping from it. Women scream for him and are willing to die for him, which is not inferior to the most fanatical idol fans of later generations. Although the face behind the helmet is not handsome, it can even be called ugly. Three long scars almost destroyed his left face, that is It was left by a cunning cheetah.
However, in the eyes of women, there is no better love medicine than these scars.
At least in the arena of this moment, he is the dream lover of all women. As the poet venalis said, what girls love is not his face but his sword.
Finally, the experienced Gladiator successfully killed the beast in front of him again.
He inserted his sword into the land in front of him, took off his armor, and enjoyed the cheers and songs of victory that belonged to him.After him, it was the Gladiator's turn.
Zhang Heng and varo were not among them. Their wrestling performance was put on the third day. They didn't even go to the arena, but there was a big match in the afternoon.
Bach and Rufus.
Black sickle is a celebrity in Victor's arena. By contrast, most people have just heard the name Bach, and they are really new.
However, this time, Victor arena put him in the advertisement, which obviously valued him.
However, the audience is obviously more willing to believe that they have proved their black sickle more than once in the arena, which can be seen from the odds of both sides.
Yes, since ancient times, spinach and competition can't be separated. In the arena, you can not only enjoy the wrestling performance, but also bet on the good Gladiator.
On the other hand, varo is also asking Zhang Heng, who is training with him, "who do you prefer?"
"I haven't seen the skill of Rufus the black sickle, but Gaby's arrangement means that he is optimistic about Bach, so if it's my bet, I'll bet on Bach." Zhang Hengdao.
"So Rufus is sure to lose?"
"If Bach finishes all the training, it's almost the same, but now Rufus still has a chance." Zhang Hengdao, ever since he got the news from the old trainer that the Flavi amphitheater will hold a wrestling show, Zhang Heng also knew why Marcus was so eager.
But I'm afraid this fight performance is different from what he imagined.
