Throne Steps

Chapter 102 The Hanging Fishhook

Harder's appearance was scheduled for the night.He didn't have the problem of having to adjust for three days before the fight, but he arrived at the contestant's preparation place early after a simplified dinner.But he arrived early, and someone was earlier than him. The meeting he thought he would sit down after the battle took place much earlier than he expected before the battle.

In the small hall of the preparation place, there were quite a few players waiting or sitting or standing. Although some were excited and some were depressed, all of them were secretly gearing up for the stage.The person in charge brought Hader in, and everyone turned their gazes to the two of them more or less, and some of them showed meaningful eyes slightly.Hader didn't look sideways, and let the person in charge lead him to the door of a small independent room at the end of the short corridor.The person in charge stood in front of the door and knocked, and the door opened a crack not long after.The person in charge made a gesture and let Hader in.

The person in charge walked back through the small hall, and a familiar mercenary asked with a smile: "That one just now, is that 'monster'?"

Harder doesn't appear often, but after all, he is a figure who comes every day to pass the time. People will turn their heads and talk about him when they see him.His few performances were well-known, and the fear of him among the soldiers in the army was also reported, making him barely a legendary character.

The person in charge paused slightly after hearing the question: "That's him."

"It's average in size, maybe it's because of its explosive power." The mercenary touched his chin, "It's interesting, who will fight him tonight?"

He didn't ask this question loudly, and in the noisy arena, few people paid attention to other people's gossip, and sometimes it didn't matter if he said something "rebellious".But Rao's relaxed and ordinary chat still caught the attention of the two people in the corner of the small hall.They didn't show it on their faces, they just looked at each other quietly, and then looked away.

Although the person in charge didn't notice the movement of the two people in the corner, he knew that there was the "watcher" brought by the room in this hall, so he didn't answer the mercenary's question directly: "Where are you going? Everyone has to go here. You didn't pay attention to it yourself, so come and ask me now?"

The people coming and going in the arena are so messy, who would pay attention to the people passing by if they didn't have the heart.The mercenary knew that the person in charge meant that he didn't intend to respond, so he raised his eyebrows and smiled: "If you don't tell me, I can watch it myself when I go on stage. I always missed the appearance of 'The Beast' before, this time it took a long time experience."

Harder's hostility was presumably tainted by the dark underground arena elsewhere, but now in this arena that always abides by the rules, I'm afraid there are very few people with magic power or insufficient fighting spirit talent to provoke him. he.The mercenary's words sounded a little provocative, but this small hall was full of non-Magic Fighters, no matter how powerful the person in charge was, he was not afraid that they would stab them to the sky, so he nodded and left without saying anything.

The male mercenary also returned to his original seat, and it was as if nothing had happened in the small waiting hall.It's just that the two people in the corner looked around the entire hall as if inadvertently, and then took a look at the short corridor leading to the room, and then resumed the previous state of promoting conversation.

There are two people in the small room.One is the big tall man who opened the door for Harder before, and now he is closing the door behind Harder—or standing there watching the door—the other is standing with his hands behind his back on the other side of the cabin, and it is a young man from the back, Looking at the figure alone, it is much thinner than the one at the door.Both of them restrained their breath, and their sense of existence was lower than that of ordinary people. The young man inside was even more unreal because of his thin physique.

Seeing that one of them was carrying his back and the other was standing behind him, Harder thought to himself: Why, this is an expression of "I can trust you and I can handle you"?

But the other party didn't seem to be thinking this way. The young man standing inside didn't pretend to be mysterious anymore, but turned around and said with a smile: "Long time no see."

The lighting in the room was dim, but it didn't affect Harder's ability to observe the other party's appearance.He just rolled his eyelids and his heart skipped a beat, but it didn't show on his face.This young man has black hair and black eyes, with a gentle smile, and the orange light shines on his left company, showing a reliable and stable image.A shadow flashed in Harder's mind, but just when he was about to deliberately ask "Who are you?" Potions that support black boxing?"

Even though Harder was originally a straight-forward "monster", he was still choked by his straight ball without turning.When I only saw the back of this person before, I thought he was going to show off, but now, with just a few words, both of them have been exposed. The eyes of the "vicious beast" blinked slowly, and without asking "Are you dead?", it just said, "Long time no see."

Li Chen didn't continue to exchange pleasantries, but said with a smile: "Have you received the letter from Noah?"

Harder remained calm: "A letter?"

Li Chen didn't point out the other party's pretending to be stupid, and just replied: "The first letter should be when you just won the first place in the two military competitions, and the content is to congratulate you; the second letter is before you go to Suoyang— — Maybe you received it after you came back — the content is that the southwestern garrison is suppressing the south, I am afraid that the war is coming soon, and I care about your safety; the third letter is the news that the southwestern garrison was hanged on the head of Suoyang City After the explosion, I wrote you a list of the nails that various forces are following you."

Hade narrowed his eyes: "You and Noah...are you in the same group?"

"Don't put it so harshly." Li Chen laughed, "But we are indeed in the same camp."

Harder asked again: "Do you all know the intention of the Southwest Garrison?"

"In such a large military camp, it's easy to get a few people in, but it's not easy to get into the decision-making level. However, even if you can't know the details of the southwestern garrison, you can guess the direction." Li Chen laughed, " What's more, with such a big commotion this time, unless you are deaf and blind, who would not know?"

Hader raised an eyebrow.

Li Chen continued: "How about it, are you interested in reuniting with us old buddies?"

Harder showed a rare smile, but this smile is very meaningful: "You are all talking in the vernacular today, what about the twists and turns when you were in school?"

Li Chen didn't see through the embarrassment of the year at all, he just said: "You only have two years left in your contract with the army, do you want to be a volunteer after that?" According to your current situation, I'm afraid you won't be able to make it out in another ten years.

Harder has a withdrawn personality and fierce shots. This kind of attribute is the most likely to disobey the command and go slanted. It is the most troublesome type of army commander.In Suoyang's first battle, only Hader's team remained hidden in the dark, watching the excitement if they could wipe heads off, obviously they didn't have a sense of collective belonging.If this sharp sword that cannot be used at hand is still hanging on, it is estimated that the Southwest Garrison will have to find a way to break it.

Li Chen didn't say anything about it, but the unsatisfactory meaning in his words has already reached this point.Harder certainly grasped this point: "You want me to be a 'rebel' right now..."

"Acquaintance with us is a 'rebel army'?" Li Chen smiled and changed his language, "You just have to serve your military service. There are so many eyes in the army, how can I tell you to kill and set fire?"

Harder couldn't let go of his tricks, and just squinted at him with the corner of his mouth in his mouth.

"Okay, let me add some sincerity." Li Chen shrugged, "I guess it will be you who will face Suoyang next time. Then you should take it easy and don't have to rush ahead to make a decision, just like when you especially attacked Suoyang. Well... well, I'm afraid you'll have to be a little more idle than you were then. If you can't let yourself be as stupid as everyone else, at least don't stop others."

The corners of Harder's mouth were still curled up, but his eyes had already darkened: "Will they fall into the same hole twice?"

Li Chen smiled vaguely: "Your Highness is kind."

"Indeed." Hader said with a half-smile, "It's no more cruel and cheeky than Suoyang's group. I really can't handle this tiny place." With a smile: "With such a person following you, isn't 'Benevolence' a joke to you?"

In the end, Harder has only been fighting black boxing for a few years, and he is quite afraid of meeting a lone wolf who has been tossing around in the bloody storm all year round.But when he thought that these eight achievements were his opponents tonight, Harder felt excited and high-spirited.

Li Chen said with a smile: "I don't need to get your answer right now, just remember what I said." He followed Harder's eyes and glanced at Akeye standing at the door, and then smiled and said: "Today, I will give you an answer." Have a good night."

Even with the Southwest garrison in charge, the underground arena in the city is still crowded with people every night; but because of the existence of the Southwest garrison, even the underground arena here has the dangerous rule of "life and death", which represents a dangerous rule, the actual competitive style It is also more inclined to learn from each other rather than hurt lives.

Under this premise, the battle between Harder and Akye is simply unique.

"Fierce Beast" Harder, a frequent visitor to the underground arena, was used to life and death battles with the highest bounty level—which is also expressly prohibited by law—for a while.Although the atmosphere of the military camp in recent years has really affected him, but this kind of influence is not to wear off, but to cover up.As soon as he returned to the arena, the rigorous demeanor of the army was like a torn veil, revealing the brutality that he had endured for a long time.

And Akeye, the former quasi-leader of the Lone Wolf, acted like all the members of the Lone Wolf-simple and rude, one-hit kill.He is tall and tall, and he is obviously born with a disadvantage in the killer circle that generally requires agility and stealth, so he has acquired a hand to hide well.This hiding not only refers to the avoidance of body shape, but also includes the weakening of breath and the integration with the surrounding environment.And even though he has high attainments in concealment, Akye's tall stature is still easily exposed to actions, which determines that the tricks he is good at are far more effective in killing people than in defeating the enemy.Over time, Akye always has a hidden murderous look when facing opponents, which makes people feel dangerous, but it is difficult to understand where the danger comes from.

The regulars in the arena more or less know the tricks of the arena.When Harder and Akye faced each other across the field, the crowd already felt a different atmosphere. If there seemed to be no violence and murderous aura gradually spread in the field, it made the already smoky infield air even more stagnant.This kind of stagnation seems to be the calm before the storm, slowly suppressing the noisy atmosphere, heralding the coming of a bloody storm.

It might seem like an exaggeration for the two of them alone to create such an atmosphere, but it's been a long time since the city has had a true life-and-death confrontation, so it's no wonder the audience is excited.

Li Chen sat in the corner where Harder often sat, stared at the two people facing each other at the two ends of the field for a few tens of seconds, and then raised his eyebrows and yawned: "How long will it take to play?"

His words were not loud, barely audible in the noisy arena.However, a man in a dark light combat suit standing two steps away from him turned his head slightly and glanced sideways, then took out a small object from his pocket, with a flick of his fingers, he smashed it on the head of a spectator in the front row in the blink of an eye.

"Ah yo!"

The shout was like a signal, and Harder and Akye immediately twirled their toes to hear the wind!
