Alien Knights

Standing in the middle of the arena, Todd looked at the cheering spectators in the surrounding stands, and heaved a sigh of relief.

"The Cracking Giant" Cotton laughed and walked behind Todd, patted him on the shoulder, and couldn't help saying, "We won!"

"Cunning Fox" Besson sat down on the ground and said exhaustedly, "I thought I was going to die this time."

The slaves of the arena walked into the arena through the gate, and as usual, began to load the corpses onto the carts to clean up the chaotic mess on the battlefield.

Conchiub stood on a high viewing platform, overlooking everything in front of him.

The excited audience, seeing the king's appearance, turned their bodies to the viewing stand, raised their thumbs up, and shouted the slogan "Give freedom" in unison.

Conchi Ub smiled and stretched out his hand, beckoning everyone to be calm.

Under everyone's amazed gaze, a group of soldiers escorted a woman in black to the high stage.

Raising his head to see the woman's face clearly, Todd's pupils dilated instantly, and his fingers trembled slightly.

That woman was Boyle's fiancée, Deirdre.

"In my kingdom, under my nose, there is an appalling rebellion going on!" Conchierb stood on the stage, pointing his finger at the arena: "Someone is training these gladiators as rebels, intending to subvert the foundation of the kingdom!"

The audience looked at each other in blank dismay, and someone raised a loud question: "What evidence is there to say that these gladiators are rebels?"

"Evidence?" Conchi Ub pulled Deirdre, pushed her in front of him, and said loudly, "Those who frequent the 'Red Circle' must be familiar with this woman. She used to be a member of the gladiators - 'Lady of Pain', and now she will reveal this conspiracy to you!"

Conchiuber, who retreated to his seat, winked at Fogar, and the latter walked to Deirdre's side knowingly, and whispered to her: "Speak, just follow the agreement before, speak quickly!"

Deirdre, who was standing on the high platform, looked pained and said nothing.

"Think about your father, think about your people, do you have the heart to watch them suffer in prison?" Fogar approached Deirdre: "What you have to do is very simple, just publicly identify Fergus, Fiorcha and Boyle for their rebellion..."

The impatient Conchiub stood up from his seat with a gloomy face, and growled at the woman: "Don't you know what kind of crime it is to assist a slave escape without permission? If you are smart, just say it honestly!"

Deirdre looked at the people below the high platform. Tears dripped down her jade-like cheeks into the air. Her plump lips had been bitten by her teeth, and blood beads gathered on her chin, but she remained silent from the beginning to the end.

Seeing the resolute and stubborn appearance of this woman, Fogar lost his mind for a moment, and he suddenly thought of the daughter who was regarded as a jewel in his family.

He whispered to Deirdre: "Not all of your subordinates are as brave and fearless as you. The king has already known the escape exit of the second underground floor from their mouths, and sent heavy troops to guard the exit of the tunnel. Even if they can escape, a large number of cavalry regiments and patrols have been dispatched to the passes and plank roads leading to the southern tribes. See the reality clearly, Boyle and his clansmen are finished, and your road is still long, there is no need for them Sacrifice..."

Todd, who was standing under the stage, closed his eyes quietly. Three seconds later, he opened his eyes and glanced at the gate at the end of the venue.

The moment he turned his head, Deirdre suddenly broke free from the soldiers' shackles, turned over and jumped off the 20-meter-high platform, and fell straight to the ground. This scene caused everyone in the field to scream.

It was too late to say it, but when he saw Deirdre's falling body, Todd opened his legs, activated his speed ability with all his strength, and rushed down the high platform.

In the eyes of others, his figure turned into a gray lightning, and in just a few seconds, he completed the actions of sprinting, jumping, and saving people.

Jumping in mid-air, Todd hugged Deirdre, took advantage of the momentum of the forward rush, and rolled a few times when he fell to the ground, reducing the force of his fall.

Under Todd's call, Deirdre slowly opened her eyes, except for the trembling caused by fright, her body was fine.

Seeing this scene, the audience was ebullient. While they praised Deirdre's bravery and loyalty, they loudly denounced the farce.

"These gladiators are innocent! How could they be rebels?!"

"This is a blatant slander, a sinister slander!"

"That's right! Set these gladiators free!"

Queen Maeve, who saw the whole thing from beginning to end, looked at the couple hugging each other in the venue, and said to Conchi Urb in an extremely mocking tone: "Hehe, men in Ulster show their strength by bullying women. This tradition is really well-deserved."

The failure of the plan, the betrayal of the pawns, and the accusations of the people.

Conchierb was already on the verge of madness at this time, and Queen Maeve's sarcasm was like the last feather on top of a heavy burden, causing his psychological bottom line to collapse completely. He completely lost his mind and yelled at Fogar with all his strength: "Kill them! Kill them all! No one will be left!"

Seeing the king's crazy appearance, Fogar hesitated to speak, finally sighed, and walked down the stairs.

Lying in Todd's arms, Deirdre grabbed the latter's arm and said urgently, "The king has discovered that tunnel..."

Todd nodded to her: "When I saw you appear, I knew that the tunnel had been exposed."

"Then what about your people?"

"There is always a way..."

"Cunning Fox" Besson walked up to the two of them and said in a low voice: "Both of you, let's save the love talk for later. Do you think there is something wrong?"

Todd raised his head and looked around. The excited audience kept making noises, but there was no sound on the high platform. The soldiers who were originally standing on the fence of the venue hurriedly withdrew.

"There is indeed something wrong..." Todd helped Deirdre stand up, and said with a frown.

With the creaking sound of the rotating shaft, the door at the end of the arena slowly opened.

"The Cracking Giant" Cotton looked at the opened gate, walked forward, and laughed loudly: "Freedom! They decided to give us freedom! My God, after all these years, I can finally go back to my hometown, see my wife and daughter, and drink a sip of the family ale!"

Watching other people walking forward, Toddler held Deirdre's hand, but retreated.

Behind the gate, there was a roar of a beast. In the next second, a group of three-meter-long, mutated giant wolves covered in spikes knocked down the gate and rushed into the arena.

Cotton, the "mountain-cracking giant" who was closest to the gate, his smile was still frozen on his face, but his body was instantly torn into pieces by these monsters.
