Chapter 281 Ancient Gladiator
“Sass!”
The jungle made a rustling sound, and a group of people walked out slowly. There were hundreds of them, and they were Thor and Count Engel. A day ago, Renn returned with Thor's knights.
Combined with Thor's knights and Count Engel's knights, the number finally exceeded one hundred.
Compared to before Thor left, Marshall and others have not changed much.
Although the strength has been slightly improved, it is only a small improvement.
This is normal. Although Thor has given a lot of support, these people have not obtained the essence of life. In fact, their talents have not changed much. The improvement of resources alone is naturally not that obvious.
But even so, Count Engel couldn't help being surprised when he saw Marshall and others.
Especially Marshall, when he left with Thor, he was still at the peak of the Great Knight. Now he has not only officially broken through the Great Knight and entered the Earth Knight, but has obviously reached the late stage of the Earth Knight.
At the same time, the knights to whom Thor belongs are also about the same.
The fifty-four knights Thor brought this time were almost the elite of the entire Eagle Ridge, and were naturally the same people that Count Engel had arranged for Thor before.
At this moment, there are already many knights on guard at the gathering place.
Finally, we made it all the way without any danger.
Thor nodded and couldn't help but take a deep breath at this moment.
"Please wait!"
An earth knight spoke respectfully, and looked at Count Engel with some surprise, but he did not dare to neglect and hurriedly went to report.
On the continent, there are two major empires. Under the jurisdiction of the two empires are countless kingdoms and countless principalities. In particular, the number of principalities is as large as the sand of the Ganges River.
As soon as Thor, Count Engel and others approached, they attracted the attention of the vigilant knights.
Count Engel spoke, and at this moment he couldn't help but let out a long breath.
Firstly, I want to see if new daily information will be refreshed as I interact with these powerful families. Secondly, I also want to see how far his strength has reached at this moment by taking advantage of this opportunity.
But after looking at Thor again, Count Engel felt a little relieved.
To be honest, he couldn't help feeling a little nervous as he felt the groups of light approaching rapidly.
The group moved forward again.
When everyone gathered together, they finally reached the core in just one day.
In just three years, Thor at this moment is comparable to the average peak knight in the sky, and he is not necessarily inferior even if he is facing half a step of the holy realm.
After excluding the half-step sanctuary, Count Engel knew very well that the entire Dressrosa family at this moment, let alone the dukes of the major kingdoms, even compared with the top marquis of the major kingdoms, the Dressrosa family Both may be weaker.
Count Engel is also familiar with these people.
This is simply a miracle.
This time, as expected, he will see the real top nobles in the entire continent, except for the two empires.
After all, although his strength has improved, the entire Dressrosa family has not. Once they encounter any powerful family and a conflict breaks out, it goes without saying that there will be consequences.
Thor, Count Engel and his party finally arrived at the gathering place.
Unexpectedly, the strength of these people also improved rapidly.
Going to become a pioneer lord, Thor's transformation is the most tremendous, even more than anything else.
“The gathering place mentioned by Grand Duke Liepu’er should be twenty miles ahead, and we should be able to reach it today.”
The Earth Knight spoke respectfully, and then led Thor and his party towards the center.
Soon after.
This knight of the earth returns quickly.
In about a few minutes.
As a result, once a conflict breaks out, the casualties will be huge.
Thor also finally met a group of people from the Tulip Noble Alliance.
Half-Step Sanctuary is very strong, and the nobles who can get close to here probably all have the strength of Half-Step Sanctuary.
Engel immediately stepped forward and told the situation.
Only those who can participate are the most powerful families in the major kingdoms.
Those light groups consciously chose to stay away after getting closer.
“Your Majesty, Count Engel, please.”
Compared to this, Thor's Knights are nothing.
But fortunately, it didn’t happen after all.
Even the number of kingdoms is not small.
Thor still has some expectations for these powerful families.
Count Engel could only sigh.
“Twenty miles?”
Until night gradually falls.
When their eyes came together, Thor's brows couldn't help but raise.
Because at this moment, he could feel a huge pressure emerging. There were five extremely powerful auras in the entire noble alliance. Even he felt a sense of pressure from this aura.
At the same time, Anna's body beside him couldn't help but tremble slightly.
“Anna!”
Thor spoke softly.
“It’s okay, Master.”
Ana spoke softly, then shook her head.
“Karenina!”
Thor looked at Anna and shook his head. He understood what was going on, and his eyes couldn't help but look at a few figures among the group of people in the distance. The eye-catching aristocratic signs were obviously the Karenina family.
As a former member of the Karenina family, Thor didn't know what happened to Anna, but it was obvious that the outcome would not be too wonderful, otherwise Anna would not choose to escape from the Karenina family.
But since Anna is unwilling to say it, Thor will not force it.
His right hand gently squeezed Anna's palm, comforting her heart.
Then he looked at his father.
“Father.”
Thor spoke softly.
“Let’s go, let’s go there!”
Count Engel couldn't help but take a deep breath, and then spoke softly.
"good!"
Thor nodded.
The group of people then continued to move forward.
“Hahaha, Count Engel’s side!”
At this moment, the old Duke Lepu'er sounded with a laughing voice.
"Grand Duke Liepu'er, I haven't seen you for many days, but you still look good."
Count Engel couldn’t help but smile as well.
“Hahaha, it’s true that I haven’t seen you for many days.”
“Come, Count Engel, let me introduce to you. This is the previous Duke of Karenina, and this is the previous Duke of the Skoda family.”
“As for these three people, you should also know them.”
As the crowd approached, Old Duke Lepu'er couldn't help but smile and spoke, and then introduced the people around him to Count Engel.
“Count Engel, we have heard many legends about you from Grand Duke Lepu’er in the past few days.”
"first meet."
Old Duke Karenina and Old Duke Skodar also smiled and spoke. "Yes, Count Engel, you hide it well."
Marquis Solo also smiled and spoke.
With the introduction of the old Duke Lepu'er, several people greeted Count Engel one after another.
His eyes were looking at Count Engel and his party.
When they discovered Count Engel's pitiful knights, everyone could not help but frown slightly. However, they soon felt the domain aura of Count Engel, and the two old Dukes couldn't help but have a look on their faces. Happy.
To them, it doesn't matter that Count Engel's knights are weaker, as long as Count Engel is indeed a half-step saint.
“I’ve met Grand Duke Karenina, Grand Duke Skordar, and Marquis Mackendi, Marquis Ivano, and Marquis Solo!”
Count Engel smiled and spoke. He naturally understood the attitudes of several people.
But he didn’t pay too much attention.
With the three top marquises, there really isn’t much that the Dressrosa family needs to pay too much attention to at this moment.
As he breaks through the half-step of the Holy Realm, he will definitely be able to enter the Holy Realm in the future. The three top marquises will no longer pose any threat to the entire Dressrosa family.
As for the three major ducal families, they do not have too many conflicts with each other.
“Come, Count Engel, we just want to discuss the next matter.”
"Walk!"
“Sophinia, go and settle the Knights of Count Engel.”
Old Duke Liepu'er nodded with a smile, and then spoke to a figure next to him.
"yes!"
The figure responded respectfully.
He then walked out and led Thor and others to another place.
Count Engel nodded towards Thor and others.
Thor and his group immediately followed this figure and headed to another place.
At this moment, the entire open space has been repaired, and even the residence of Count Engel and his party has been clearly arranged.
There are rows of wooden houses everywhere.
“Everyone, just rest here.”
“If you need anything, just go to the west and call me.”
Sophinia smiled and spoke.
“Thank you very much.”
Thor smiled and nodded.
“No need to thank you, I won’t bother you.”
Sophinia smiled and nodded, and then left the place.
While waiting for him to leave, the group of people began to move in quickly.
This vacant land is quite large, and there are many houses. It will not be a problem to house more than a hundred people, and it is not a big problem to even accommodate seven or eight hundred people.
After they were settled, a moment later, another knight sent a lot of food.
Everyone started to eat immediately.
the other side.
Count Engel was taken into a large room by Grand Duke Lepu'er and others.
Start to discuss the next matters.
Time passes slowly.
When night falls completely.
The stars gradually dotted the sky.
Count Engel's figure returned again.
As soon as he returned, Count Engel immediately came to Thor's location.
“Father?”
Looking at the arrival of Count Engel, Thor was a little surprised.
“Thor, I’m afraid there may be some trouble next.”
Count Engel looked at Thor, couldn't help but sigh, and spoke softly.
“What’s the matter, father?”
Thor was a little surprised.
“Currently those participating in the final battle should be the sixteen kingdom noble alliances. Yesterday, these sixteen noble alliances decided to fight in the form of ancient gladiatorial battles and the ownership of the law fragments.”
Count Engel spoke in a deep voice and slowly recounted the information he had obtained from Grand Duke Lepu'er.
“Ancient gladiatorial combat?”
Thor raised his brows in surprise.
He does know a little bit about ancient gladiatorial battles.
This is a way of fighting among nobles from ancient times.
When two nobles discover irreconcilable conflicts, they will initiate a gladiatorial fight.
The so-called gladiatorial battle means that both sides send the same number of people and the same presence to fight in a fixed place.
The winning party can gain everything from the other party, while the losing party will lose everything.
“Yes, it’s an ancient gladiatorial battle.”
"There are currently sixteen noble alliances. It is decided that each noble alliance will send ten people. Sixteen noble alliances will fight in pairs. The winner will fight against the winner, and the loser will fight against the loser. The winning side can obtain half of the rules of the losing side. Shards, the final winner, all families must pay their ten law fragments.”
"There are currently sixteen noble alliances, and there are a total of six that are stronger than our Tulip Kingdom noble alliance. In addition to the Purple Flower Kingdom, the Macedonian Kingdom, the Shenmu Kingdom and the Purple Flower Kingdom are about the same. The Saatchi Kingdom and the Green Field Kingdom are all It's a bit weaker, but there are still six half-step saints. The most powerful one is currently the Kingdom of Sera. There are currently ten known half-step saints. "
Count Engel spoke slowly.
Listening to Count Engel's words, Thor's expression could not help but tighten.
Even though he knew that the Tulip Kingdom was not the most powerful kingdom and could only be regarded as an upper-middle kingdom, he did not expect that there were as many as six existences more powerful than the Tulip Kingdom.
These are six kingdoms.
fight.
Fight in pairs.
Eight people won in the first round and eight people failed.
These eight people will continue to fight.
If you are not very lucky and lose again and again, plus the final winner, the obtained law fragments will be almost completely swept away, and it may not even be enough.
“Father, what if there are not enough law fragments?”
Thor took a deep breath and quickly thought of it and couldn't help but ask.
“Must give!”
Count Engel just said softly.
But this sentence is enough.
In other words, no matter whether you have enough or not, and no matter what method you use, the amount of law fragments you need to pay must be sufficient.
If it’s not enough, then get more.
These are the rules of kingdom war, and they are rules set by the alliance of sixteen kingdom nobles. No one has the right to refuse.
What makes Thor a little confused is how the relatively weak ones among the sixteen families are willing to agree.
