The convoy escorting the slaves went for a whole day and night, and in the morning of the next day, they arrived at the capital of the Ulster Kingdom-the city of Amma.

Todd, who jumped out of the carriage, tightened his cloak, watching the captain in charge of escorting the slaves, leading the mighty convoy, entering the city through the suspension bridge, and whispering to Rachel: "This way The guards responsible for the slaves are heavily guarded, with clear posts and secret sentries. I don’t understand why Ulster cares so much about escorting slaves, and even does not hesitate to use a large number of regular troops."

The woman walked out of the carriage and said in a low voice: "In the history of the Ulster Kingdom, there was a very serious slave defect. The leader of the defected slaves organized a mighty army. At the peak of military power, Even besieged the kingdom."

Todd nodded and asked with interest: "What happened to these uprising slaves?"

Rachel did not speak, motioning for him to follow him.

When he walked to the gate of the city, Rachel spoke with the guard in proficient northern dialect for a while, then handed him two silver coins, and immediately obtained the right of passage.

Taking Todd into the bustling city, Rachel led the way, turned a few intersections, and walked over a bridge. The two came to a sparsely populated and uneven bluestone avenue.

Rachel pointed to the road under his feet and said to Todd, "This road is called the "Path of Sighs"."

The latter is a little puzzled: "Why did you take such a name?"

Rachel stepped on the stone slab on the road with his foot, gave Todd a look, and motioned him to take a closer look.

Todd knelt down curiously, and took a closer look along the gap between the blue stones. Then, he poke a little dirt away with his fingers, picked up a small piece of white "tiles," and said, "It looks a bit like bones..."

"That's right." Rachel looked at the road that stretched for hundreds of meters, and said softly: "You just wanted to ask about the fate of those slaves? Our feet are their final destination."

Todd's eyes widened, using the "perspective" power to look towards the ground, shocked by the sight in front of him.

Densely densely packed bones and hairs fill between the stone slabs and under the soil. If you look deeper, you can even see the corpses standing and buried under the ground.

"Thousands of arrested slaves were thrown into the vertical hole dug in advance, and then buried alive here." Rachel looked around and confirmed that there was no one, then turned his face to Todd: "Your Majesty, This is not the Muxi Kingdom, this is the barbarian country in the north. Crazy, bloodthirsty, promiscuity, and torture are as frequent here as commonplace."

Todd stood up, looked at the ground under his feet, and sighed softly: "This is the so-called "Tradition" in the North?"

"That's right. I have seen your world in your soul space, where it is beautiful and rich, and life is stable. This is also the place I am most yearning for." Rachel continued to walk forward and turned back and said: " If I can live there for a day, even if it is the price of my life, I will not hesitate."

Todd put the bone fragments in his hands on the ground, looked at Rachel, and said firmly in his eyes: "Trust me, this will all happen, I promise you!"

————————————————

After finding a hotel in the city to stay temporarily, Todd and Rachel had lunch, and came to the liveliest and most crowded place in Arma City-the Arena "Red Circle".

The "Red Circle" is the most famous building in the entire Northland University 6. It is located at the westernmost end of the city and covers an area of ​​6oooo square meters. Speaking of the origin of this name, there is not much connotation. The soil in the field was originally cinnamon soil. After the blood sputtered by the long-term battle gradually stained the red soil, the name "Red Circle" spread.

In this place, battles between gladiators or between gladiators and powerful enemies are staged every day. The corpse is the most common display here.

The building is designed in the shape of a ring, the middle part is the arena, and the stands are surrounded by stands. The entire venue can accommodate up to 7,000 people to watch the competition at the same time.

The building structure is divided into four floors from bottom to top.

The second underground level (the lowest level) is a cleaning area, where the bodies of the losers after a gladiatorial fight and scattered debris will be transported here for centralized processing.

The ground floor is the personnel area. The daily life of gladiators, including dining, training, sleeping and other functional areas, are concentrated here.

The ground floor is the fighting zone. Including the circular area as the battlefield and the surrounding audience area.

The second floor above ground (the uppermost floor) is the viewing area. This includes areas such as watchtowers, guard passages, and VIP stands.

After paying for some local currency used in the northern border (converted into parish currency, about 16 copper stars), Todd and Rachel successfully entered the "Red Circle" arena.

Before stepping into the stands, the tsunami-like cheers from the audience shocked the two of them.

Without any shading equipment, at 2 o'clock in the hottest afternoon of the day, there were thousands of people sitting in the huge arena.

Most of them are from the Ulster Kingdom, but there are also many travelers from other countries in the north.

In the arena, there is a duel.

A heavily armed and heavily armored warrior faced five unclothed slaves.

In the latter's hands, only the rusty and dim weapon blade hit the warrior's armor, leaving only white scratches.

The duel did not last long, and the curtain came to an end in just fifteen minutes.

The duel ended with a complete victory by the heavy armored fighter. The five slaves were separated, and one of the heads was hung on a long knife by the fighter, and was displayed around the court.

Looking at the **** scene in front of him, Todd thought of the so-called "tradition" in the north, and was speechless for a long time.

Rachel stabbed him with an elbow and cast his gaze to the end of the arena, a huge iron fence: "Behind that iron gate is the prison where the slave gladiators are held."

Todd used "Eagle Eye" and "Perspective" to observe the structure of the arena, looking for a suitable sneak route.

Rachel looked at the center of the arena. A group of corpse collectors with shovels and rammers shoveled the corpses scattered on the ground into the cart together with the dirt. He leaned his body and said to Todd: "Boyle The gladiatorial fight should be tomorrow morning. The Ulster Kingdom will definitely prepare this traitor for the cruelest and most desperate battle. If you can’t successfully rescue him tonight, he will undoubtedly die tomorrow.”

Todd nodded, lowered his cloak, covering his face.

Late that night, relying on the mutated monster's body, Todd was walking on the almost vertical wall like a gecko.

With his feet on the wall, his whole body was like a spring. He jumped into the air more than ten meters and grabbed the edges and corners under the high platform of the arena.

"Night Vision", "Eagle Eye" and "Perspective" are all activated.

The distribution of people, staircases, corridors, and hidden doors in the entire building are like a three-dimensional vector diagram on a computer, which is clearly and detailed in front of you.

Carefully through the numerous obstacles, avoiding the patrol guards, Todd, lying on all fours on the roof, saw the opportunity to enter the slave prison.

The pungent musty smell and rancid smell permeated the underground prison.

Looking over the cells, Todd finally found Boyle in the innermost room.

This northern guy, who was strong and tough in his mind, is now tied to a wooden frame. There is no intact skin on his body, and he can see almost every rib in his thin body.

Todd lifted Boyle's head carefully and let him look at him.

"You are... with Rachel..." Boyle's muddy eyes were filled with blood and impurities, but the moment he saw Todd, there was a glimmer of clarity in his pupils.

Todd untied the ropes that bound his hands and feet, and whispered to Boyle, "I'm here to save you."

Boyle, who had lost his restraint, fell on Todd's shoulder. The wound that had already been scabbed broke again due to a large movement, and blood dripped to the ground.

Seeing that the other party's injury was too serious, Todd began to look for cloth in the room, intending to bandage Boyle's wound first.

"My people..."

Boyle, lying on the ground, stretched out his hand to Todd, shouting hoarsely in his mouth.

Todd frowned, walked to Boyle's side, shook his head and said, "I can only save you out. I can do nothing about your people."

Not knowing where the power came from, Boyle suddenly grabbed Todd's wrist and yelled again: "My people!"

Todd closed his eyes and assessed the current situation and all possibilities, but after a while, with a helpless expression, he shook his head again.

Faced with all kinds of torture, Boyle, who had never surrendered, had tears in his red eyes.

"Fried saved my life from bear's paw... Minnie raised me with goat's milk... Evans always followed me... They are all my people..." Boye Er looked at the roof of the cell, and murmured unconsciously: "Leave them behind and run away alone, I can't do it..."

Todd was stunned. The scene before him was so similar to his experience.

On the night before the Battle of Muxi ~lightnovelpub.net~ Faced with the three-way attack of the Silver Ring Alliance, the North Island pirates and the barbarian tribe, he also categorically rejected the idea of ​​surviving alone. After staying in Muxi Town, he was interrupted. Buy time for the people's retreat.

With his trembling palm, Boyle grabbed Todd's shirt tightly, only helpless and begging in his eyes: "My people...help me, help me!"

Before he could say anything, Boyle's hand suddenly dropped weakly.

Todd was shocked and leaned down quickly, leaning his ears against the opponent's chest.

The other party's heartbeat slowly died down.

Boyle...dead...
