Chapter 959 - The Reason for Their Crushing Defeat
Chapter 959: The Reason for Their Crushing Defeat
Leaf was dumbfounded.
Well, he did not think that his temporary team could defeat the domestic rat soldiers that the nobles had been raising for a long time.
However, it was one thing to be defeated, but it was another to be beaten to the point of running away.
Even the rat people had to be shameless!
“Why?”
The rat youth clenched his fists, and the lines of muscles on his arms that looked like a flood dragon suddenly protruded out. He said unhappily, “We can only take a beating. Can’t we even retaliate with one punch?”
“Alright, I’ll allow each of you to retaliate with three punches. However, at most, you can only use half of your strength during training. Other than that, the more you take a beating, the better. Of course, this is under the condition that you don’t get injured.”
Meng Chao said, “As for the reason, firstly, I want to observe your opponent’s strength. Secondly, I hope that your opponent will misjudge your strength and become arrogant.
“Do you still remember the first red-eyed rat that I taught you to defeat?
“Before you attack, you have to be patient enough to observe your opponent and gather all information about your opponent.
“Information is often more important than pure strength. I think you should understand this principle.
“Thirdly, I see that everyone is a little nervous. Later, it’s inevitable that your muscles will stiffen and your techniques and tactics will change. Therefore, I’m using this method to play a small game with everyone to help you warm up and calm your emotions.”
Leaf suddenly understood.
However, she was still a little indignant.
After being modified by Meng Chao, the rat youth’s body was filled with a flood-like power.
Other than the broken-horned bull-headed warrior, who had become a shadow in the depths of his brain, he was confident that he could blow up the heads of all his opponents.
To ask such a young and energetic youth to just take a beating and not fight back, and to only use half of his strength to fight back, was really a bit too much.
Meng Chao could see Leaf’s indignation.
He smiled, he patted the rat youth’s shoulder heavily. “Believe me, showing weakness for a moment is nothing. Only those who stand on the arena in the end are qualified to enjoy the cheers of the Roaring Mountains and tsunamis. Go and tell everyone that as long as we win this match, in addition to the rewards given to us in the arena, I will also teach you battle techniques that are even more powerful than the saber techniques that you are currently practicing, and the power will be at least twice as strong!”
“A blade technique that is twice as powerful!”
Such a promise caused the eyes of the rat youth to shine.
The little bit of resentment in his heart instantly flew into the clouds.
Eagerly, he went to discuss with his brothers.
It was easier than they had imagined to find the Ironhide Clan’s domestic rat servant army.
Just like how their master was the most violent wild boar man in the Blood Hoof Clan.
Wild Boar men were raised, and some of them even had the bloodline of wild boar men. They were also the most arrogant and tyrannical existences among all the servants.
Apart from a few servants who had the bloodline of the Barbarian Elephant Clan, they were almost a round larger than all the servants present.
On the lumps of flesh, there was a faint metallic luster, and it displayed the most ancient and sacred meaning of the name “Ironhide Clan,” skin of steel!
They casually occupied the best resting area in the Hall of Glory.
The 30-man squad’s clamor was even noisier than the 100-man squad next to them.
And even the 100-man squad led by Ordinary Gladiators didn’t dare to provoke these challengers with great backgrounds. They didn’t even dare to look them in the eye.
They allowed themselves to wolf down the mandala fruit dipped in condensed milk and laugh loudly as if there was no one else around. They talked loudly about how they were going to rip off their opponents’ heads later, wash away their flesh and blood, and mount the skull on their battle sabers as souvenirs.
At the first moment, they recognized Leaf, Spider, and Meng Chao, their opponents today.
There was nothing they could do. Compared to a bunch of muscular men, the “style” of Meng Chao’s rat squad was too bizarre and different from the others.
The domestic rat soldiers from the Ironhide Clan thought that they were joking at first.
How could a gladiator choose a gray-haired old man, a wet-behind-the-ears brat, and a black-and-white trash who couldn’t even walk?
When they saw Meng Chao, Leaf, and Spider, they realized that their opponents looked even worse than they had imagined.
What happened next was very simple.
They simply mocked Meng Chao and Leaf’s team for their weakness and advised them to surrender as soon as possible and kneel down to beg for mercy.
They were afraid that they would lose their lives in the arena.
Leaf and the others were so “furious” that they retaliated with sharp teeth. Naturally, they angered the domestic rats from the Ironhide Clan who were used to being arrogant in front of wild rats.
When the other party launched an attack, Leaf and the others collapsed at the first touch. As expected, a good show was put on in front of everyone’s eyes.
The rat subjects carefully selected by Meng Chao were able to stand out from the thousands of rat subjects in the depths of the dungeon by virtue of their weak bodies. Their survival instincts and skills had been trained to the maximum level.
Meng Chao’s modulation of them over the past few days was also carried out with the aim of “it doesn’t matter if we win or lose, first learn how to dodge and escape.”
There were still dozens of teams in the Hall of Glory. Thousands of rat subjects and hundreds of gladiators were resting. There were all kinds of crude weapons and protective equipment piled up in a disorderly manner. Some of them were obstacles.
Stimulated by the tyrannical combat skills that had doubled their lethality, Meng Chao’s group of rat subjects were able to fully display their acting skills without any guidance.
They jumped up and down, darted left and right, rolled on the ground, and circled around the giants of other battle teams who had the bloodline of the Barbarian Elephant Clan.
Although they had suffered a few punches from the rat servants of the Ironhide Clan, they had not suffered any serious injuries. However, their faces were covered in wounds, and their bruised and swollen faces were a bit comical. Moreover, they had caused a mess, which caused a great laughter.
Therefore, when Ice Storm finally made a “protest” against Casanova and made a private bet with the young wild boar warriors of the Ironhide Clan who did not know the immensity of Heaven and Earth, she returned to the Hall of Glory. What she saw was a scene that she had never imagined in her most terrible nightmare.
The rat soldiers under her command were blown everywhere like mandrake fruits after a storm. They were rolling around on the ground.
The rat soldiers of the Ironhide Clan were chasing after them with their heads held high. Although they did not really catch up because of the complicated terrain, they had already written “victory” on their foreheads with the imposing manner of a fierce tiger descending a mountain, “contempt” was written in their eyes that were full of ferocity.
From time to time, the rat soldiers under her command would try to jump into the rat soldiers under the other gladiators’ command to hide, but they would be pushed out ruthlessly by others. They could only use their ugliest posture to dodge the opponent’s attack like a top on fire.
Their comical appearance, which was even more comical than the clown, naturally attracted waves of laughter.
Since the Hall of Glory was built until today, it had probably never been so joyful in thousands of years.
Ice Storm felt all the blood in her body rush into her brain and then freeze.
She really wanted to completely seal her eyes with ice, so that she didn’t have to see such a terrible scene.
The wild boar warrior from the Ironhide Clan, who was standing next to her, was dumbfounded. He blinked his small eyes dozens of times to confirm that he wasn’t mistaken.
“Ice Storm, is this your soldier?”
The wild boar warrior swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva and stared at Ice Storm with a greedy and lascivious look. He licked his sharp fangs with his long barbed tongue and grinned hideously, “It seems that you will be mine forever soon!”
Behind the gladiator and the challenger, Casanova Bloodhoof, the arbiter, was also shocked. He could not believe his eyes and stared at the snow leopard female warrior in shock and anger, it was as if he was asking, “Ice Storm, even if you don’t want to surrender to me, you don’t have to let this pig of from Ironhide Clan get away with it!”
“Leaf, Reaper!”
Ice Storm felt like she was about to faint. She screamed like a hurricane, “What the hell is going on?!”
“Yeah, what the hell is going on?”
The adjudicator intervened. The two main generals finally gathered their teams together and stopped this once-in-a-thousand-years farce.
Ice Storm was too ashamed to stay in front of everyone. She pulled her team to the most remote corner of the Hall of Glory.
Then, she glared at Meng Chao with her eyes that looked like she was being torn to pieces.
Needless to say, it must be this black-haired, black-eyed guy. It must be him!
Meng Chao also looked at Leaf and Spider helplessly. “I did ask you to show your weakness, but I didn’t ask you to be so weak. With such a shameless attitude, how could you, who call yourselves warriors of Turan, show it without any psychological barriers?”
Leaf, Spider, and the others looked at each other.
Then, they told Meng Chao that they had all shed tears before.
A Turan had shed tears in front of everyone.
No matter how despicable, shameless, or insidious they were, they would do it.
Meng Chao, who was speechless. He took a deep breath, turned his head, patted his chest, and assured Ice Storm that although there was a slight deviation in execution, the rat militia had perfectly achieved their objective. The mess just now… had allowed him to observe every single opponent clearly.
“The opponent can’t withstand a single blow. We can win without any injuries,” Meng Chao said confidently.
He once again used a casual expression and shocking words to successfully divert Ice Storm’s attention.
“How is that possible? Are you crazy?”
Ice Storm growled. “Even if your escape just now had the intention of showing weakness, the opponent’s physique is at least twice as strong as yours. He even used the secret medicine of the Ironhide Clan to repeatedly smear his body, making his skin and flesh even sturdier than steel. How are you going to win without any injuries?”
“That’s right. Your opponent is indeed very strong. To be more precise, he is too strong.”
Meng Chao withdrew his gaze that was as sharp as a scalpel and calmly said, “And this is the reason why your opponent lost miserably.”
