The general did not let Li Ke enter the arena in a hurry. He even gave Li Ke some time to warm up. After he adjusted his body to its best condition, Li Ke was allowed to enter the arena that he built privately.
As Li Ke stepped into the gladiator's lounge, the soldiers removed the chains engraved with magic imprints on his body, allowing him to regain his freedom for a short time.
For a moment, Li Ke even wanted to attack these soldiers at this moment and kill his way out. However, his rationality stopped him because this Gladiator Arena was built with these things in mind. Even if he could kill the soldiers who escorted him, he would be locked in this lounge and shot to death by hundreds of soldiers. Or, he would be burned to death by the scorching flames.
And even if he was lucky enough to escape, what could he do?
Hundreds of fully armed soldiers would surround him, which would also lead to his death.
After all, this was a fortress.
"So … accept his conditions? At least I can be free and have a chance to take revenge. "
Moving his wrists, Li Ke, who had mixed feelings, began to put on his armor. However, it was a bit too much to call it armor, because this set of armor only had armor plates at the waist. His chest area was completely open, in order to reveal his scars and strong muscles.
Even though he was wearing thick shoulder armor, his pants were made of fur and didn't have any armor on them. The arm guards on his arms and the leg guards that only protected the front of his calves were even more prominent. And if it weren't for the fact that the ground here was too cold, Li Ke would have to wear sandals instead of ordinary shoes.
Fortunately, his helmet was a Spartan-style helmet. Other than the T-shaped gap on his face, there was only an opening for him to wear. It was very effective in protecting his head.
With the help of the soldiers, Li Ke wrapped these equipment tightly around his body with fixed chains and put on the helmet.
As for the weapons?
They would change every day. The purpose was to let Li Ke adapt to any kind of gladiator competition. But today, perhaps because of the 'graduation ceremony,' he was surprised to find that he could use all the weapons.
So he carried a round shield on his back, took two sturdy one-handed swords and stuck them on his waist. Finally, he took a sturdy spear.
These were the equipment that he was best at. After all, he was going to face 50 heavily armed soldiers. No matter how many weapons he had, it would not be too much.
"Good luck, immortal."
The person who prepared the weapons for him was not the usual soldier. It was an officer, and his tone was obviously excited. Because he was also a fan of Li Ke. So when he learned that Li Ke was going to challenge 50 soldiers today, he took the initiative to prepare the weapons for Li Ke's honor.
"Maybe."
Li Ke took a deep breath and nodded at him because he did not know how many times he would fall under the hands of those stubborn Freldrod soldiers today, and how many times he would stand up. However, he knew that as long as his head wasn't chopped off by those warriors immediately, he would be able to use his own strength to kill them all and obtain that disgusting freedom.
Yes, he did not like the freedom that he obtained in this way. But from the looks of it, this was the only way for him to take revenge.
And whether he accepted it or not was not something that he could control at the moment.
Along with the sound of the iron chain being pulled on the iron door, the cold air and the cold sunlight shone into the arena where countless people had fought. And when Li Ke took in the cold air and took his first step into the arena, the iron door behind him closed.
Then, he saw a scene that made him take a step back uncontrollably.
The 50 fully-armed Freldrod soldiers that he imagined did not exist. What appeared in front of him was a group of panicked people. There were even women and children who were not fully clothed! There was not even a boy who reached his waist! There was even a woman who was carrying a baby!
They were unarmed, thin, and weak. All of them looked at him nervously, and when they saw that their opponent was a fully-armed soldier, they screamed in fear.
This is my graduation ceremony?!
Li Ke immediately turned his head to look at the high platform, looking at the general whose name he did not even know. He could not help but roar in anger.
"These are the 50 fully-armed soldiers you told me about?! There is even a baby among them! "
Even in his dreams, he did not expect that his opponents would be such a group of people. He lowered his bottom line and chose to fight with 50 soldiers after the other party offered the price of 'freedom', but what appeared in front of him was actually a group of women and children!
"Yes! These people are your opponents! As long as you kill them, you will be able to obtain the freedom that you have always dreamed of! "
The general stood up from the stands and looked down at Li Ke.
"As a gladiator, you are perfect in terms of your will to fight and your extraordinary recovery ability that can even heal your damaged internal organs! But! You lack the true will of a gladiator! You still have mercy! You still have sympathy for your opponents! Although you have never shown mercy to them, I can see from your eyes that even at the point of life and death, your eyes still do not have the will to fight from the bottom of your heart! The beast in your heart still has not been released! You are still fighting for your life! Instead of fighting for the glory of fighting! "
What kind of lunatic is this?!
Li Ke found it harder and harder to understand the thoughts of this person. However, what surprised him even more was that when this general said these words, the people around him actually nodded in agreement. Not a single one of them showed any signs of disagreeing!
Is this the real Noxus? Is this the real Noxus people?
Li Ke could not help but feel some fear, but this cowardly thought was immediately burned away by his anger. So he still stared at the general and looked at the fanatical eyes of the general.
"Think about it, immortal. If you kill them, you will be able to obtain freedom and everything that you have never dared to dream of!"
The general tore the clothes of the maid beside him, exposing her beautiful body in front of Li Ke. He even kicked over the box beside his feet, causing the gems and gold coins in the box to flow out like water. Some of them even bounced into the arena and fell into the yellow sand under Li Ke's feet.
"I … I've never seen someone like you in my entire life."
Li Ke picked up the gold coin that fell by his feet and looked at the shining golden object in his hand for a while. He then raised his head again, facing the fluttering ribbons, and looked at the general of Noxus.
"I have to admit, you used freedom as bait, and it did make my heart waver. It even made me want to do as you said … But it's a pity, I am still alone. "
Li Ke made his decision. He clenched his spear, turned his back to the women and children of Freldrod, and raised it towards the general.
"The freedom I desire the most is the freedom to do what I want, the freedom to become who I want. So … "
The general's eyes narrowed.
"So you refused? Because it's not glorious enough? Don't worry, the matter of you killing them will only be known as you killing 50 fully armed soldiers, my dear immortal. "
He wanted to persuade Li Ke again, but this time, he was interrupted by Li Ke.
"I said, I never had the right to refuse."
He took a deep breath and prepared himself to die in battle.
"I would rather die than be free."
