The Empire Arena attracted a large number of nobles from the beginning. The gladiators in the arena will last for three days. During these three days, there will be two battles every morning and afternoon.

A total of twelve battles, the first and last ones received the most attention, especially the last one, which attracted everyone's attention.

This is a national event. It is equivalent to letting all the nobles in the country see it. These nobles themselves represent the peak of financial resources and power in various places.

Therefore, for businessmen, this can be said to be an excellent opportunity to advertise. It is no exaggeration to say that as long as people can remember it in the arena, it will spread its reputation across the country.

Moreover, foreign envoys participated this time, and their influence was even greater.

For this reason, many nobles who have commercial industries under their names and hope to make their reputations more famous will send their representatives to participate. The participants from both sides also choose well in advance, and the current competition is not as barbaric as in the past, and there will generally be no dead happening.

People often maintain restraint in fighting each other, but in the arena, there is actually an older way of challenging, that is, a team of people challenged a ferocious beast.

This challenge method can bring greater impact to people's eyes and attract more attention, but the participants are often death row prisoners because the danger of fighting with wild beasts is too great.

Those who fought against them were either giant bears that stood up nearly two meters upright or lions as big as human heads in one hand. Facing these violent beasts directly was a nightmare.

Several death row prisoners participated in the battle with simple weapons and fought to the death with the terrifying beast. If they could kill that beast, all death row prisoners who participated in the battle would be pardoned by the king and acquitted, and at the same time they could receive a large bonus, and they would live a rich life from then on.

Sometimes, knights and even nobles who are confident in their own strength will come to the scene in person to fight against these terrible beasts. If they can kill the beasts, they will receive the title of "Lion-killer" issued by the king himself.

This is an extremely high honor, and it can be said to be a proof of its strongest strength. Over the years, there have been very few people who have been awarded the title of Lion-killer, and each of them has been written into books and has been praised and worshipped by countless people as a legend.

But in fact, this is almost a glory that no one can achieve. It is too difficult to obtain it. If you accidentally, you may even pay the price of your life.

After all, humans have some innate disadvantages in their physical condition. Whether it is speed, endurance, or resistance to strike, they cannot be compared with ferocious beasts.

As for attack power, if you are bitten or photographed by a wild beast, the human body will suffer heavy injuries and may even be killed by one blow. However, if the warrior holding the long sword is strong enough, it can cause some effective damage to the wild beasts.

The title of Lion-killer is too difficult to challenge. Few of the nobles and knights of the Holy Roman Empire are willing to take this risk, so for nearly ten years no one has stood up to challenge the beasts.

The challenger was also a nobleman from the Principality of Saxony. At that time, he was ambitious to get the title of Lion Killer in the Imperial Arena and to defeat the majesty of the Habsburg royal family. Unfortunately, he was hit by the lion's claw in the head as soon as he came on the court and fainted.

Then the old lion bit the neck of the Saxon nobleman. In this way, the tragic Saxon nobleman became the soul under the lion's mouth without even walking over two moves.

Since then, few people have wanted to achieve any political purpose in this way. There are so many ways to combat the majesty of the royal family, so why should they use this way to kill people?

The lion-killer is a symbol. If people from other families get this title, the royal family will look dull. However, if someone in the Habsburg family can get this title, it will make the majesty of the royal family stronger, and Emperor Charles VI will be very happy about it.

This year, almost at the beginning of the arena, it reached its climax, because news came out that in the last game of the year, the Warriors will stand up and challenge the terrifying beasts in person.

In other words, this year someone will become a lion killer or be buried in the terrible lion's mouth.

No matter what situation, this kind of thing, will make people excited. The moment the news came out, the aristocratic circle immediately became excited. Everyone was speculating that they wanted to see which young man from the family was so ignorant and were ready to give their lives in vain.

But apart from this news, there was no unnecessary news. As long as someone participated in the Lion Fighting Competition, it would be put to the last game and was staged as the finale.

So no matter how excited people are, they still have to wait until three days before they can see the game.

In this way, in the midst of people's expectation, the news of fighting against wild beasts spread more and more widely, gradually attracting everyone's attention.

Even Emperor Charles VI paid special attention to this matter and joked: "Haha, it seems that they are going to make a medal of the Lion-killer. Everyone has signed up for nearly ten years. We can't reward this warrior with the old medal from ten years ago."

When the others heard the Emperor's words, they smiled knowingly. That was a lion, so how could he be killed so easily? Although someone signed up at this moment, the final outcome must be just a burial in the mouth of a lion.

On the first day of the arena, two captain-level people came to fight. The two belonged to the Wittelsbach family and the Hannover family. Both of them also had the baron's aristocratic title. In the same game, they often attracted the attention of many people in the past.

However, due to the news of fighting with wild beasts, the nobles who came to watch the battle were not interested and did not pay much attention to the battle on the field. Such battles that would not die and had not strong visual impact were difficult to arouse everyone's interest.

Due to lack of interest, not many people participated in the betting.

In every game, the royal family will set up a bet, and nobles across the country can place bets and choose the party they think can win to participate in the bet.

After winning the final victory, you will receive the corresponding gold coins. Since the strength gap between the two sides in the battle is not large, there will generally be no big differences between the odds. It is often the case of 50 or 50, and the biggest gap will not exceed 10%.
