Spartacus Blood and Sand Episode 5
Then, in the previous episode, after Spartacus rescued his master in the underground arena, Batitas returned him to the arena team. Spartacus Season 1 Blood and Sand "Episode 4" fully illustrated
Spartacus officially returned to training.
At the same time, Kapua was experiencing a once-in-a-century drought, and the senators killed a hundred cows and held a hundred cattle festival without success, believing that the gods might need human blood to be satisfied, so they decided to hold a competitive game. Batitas and his old rival, Solonis, each sent one man.
Solonis brought in the legend of the arena, the undefeated myth - Theokos. Batitas chuckled in his heart, not knowing how to deal with it.
Solonis laughed and said let Kress and Spartacus together, one is the current champion and the other is the limelight. The duo will fight against each other, and this will be a battle of the century.
As soon as this news was announced, the gladiators were fried, and everyone knew that Sparta and Kress were deeply at odds with each other, and they also knew the myth of Theokos's undefeated. In this game, the outcome seems to be not difficult to predict.
Even Varro was not optimistic about Spartacus's duel.
Spartacus remained arrogant: the so-called Shadow of Death must have been in vain.
Varro: He has never been defeated in hundreds of battles, compared to ... You're safer in the underground arena than you are in the underground arena.
Spartacus was a little apprehensive, and he decided to seek cooperation from Kress. But he didn't want Kress to be an arrogant man, and he stubbornly thought that he could defeat Theokos on his own and reach the top of the matchless peak. As for Spartacus— he only had to hold his shield and hide behind him.
This, of course, is angry. He was just arrogant, and he didn't want to cooperate with this defeated general.
But the next day, the instructor's words poured cold water on the two.
He easily defeated the two men who were forced to cooperate, using only a few moves. The instructor was the only one who had survived anyone who had fought Theokos so far. The scars on his chest, on his back, and on his face—all of them were given by him.
If you two can't even beat me, let alone challenge him. Looking at the two infighting, he gave them only two words: pathetic.
In the evening, Ilythea, who had come to see the liveliness, summoned the two.
The towering woman taunted Spartacus to the extreme, saying that she was Grebo's wife.
When Spartacus suddenly heard the name of the man who had taken his wife and put him into the arena to be sold as a slave, he was so excited that he could hardly hide his anger.
Batitas appeared to break the siege and took Spartacus away, leaving Kress for the distinguished female guest to enjoy.
The battle has not yet begun, but the game is in full swing. Ashur suppressed them and did not forget to stir up dissension, and must not believe Kress — he would only enjoy honor, a man who could desperately do anything for victory, and his leg was broken because of Kress's on the verge of rebellion.
He warned Spartacus that to survive, Kress could not be a teammate, only an enemy.
Spartacus looked back at Kress, and the two of them exchanged glances, each with their own thoughts.
In addition to seeing the hilarity, Illycia also recommended a priestess for Ludia, who was very experienced in solving infertility problems. The priest asked Rudia a lot of private questions, and wanted to find a solution to the problem. Rudia's face was difficult to answer. But he didn't want Illycea to stay and watch the ceremony. And I listened to it from the side.
The priest asks her to have sex as soon as possible after drinking the medicine, and Rudia holds a strangely shaped prayer candle and chats with the plastic sister Elicia without pain.
After Ashur's many searches, it was finally found that the real murderer who assassinated Batitas was found. Batitas lied to his wife that he was going out to run some errands and leave in a hurry. Ovidis, the creditor, was the one who hired slaves to carry out the assassination.
Batitas threatens his son to tell him the truth, and Ovidis has no choice but to reveal that it was his old rival Solonis who paid for it. Batitas finally got the answer, took a sip of wine, and ordered the slave Barka to raze the place to the ground.
Batitas went out, and Ludia naturally approached Kress, but unexpectedly, Cress refused her offer of affection for the first time. Kress explained that tomorrow's war should not be indulged.
Ludia said with mixed feelings, well, compared to the joy at the moment, I hope he can recharge his strength and win the game. After all, coming to Japan is long.
Kress walked away silently.
Ludia sobbed on her back.
Tomorrow's great war, auspicious and unpredictable. On the way back to the arena, Nivea pear blossoms brought rain and was embarrassed. She was afraid of losing Kress. She asked Kress if dignity and glory were what he had wanted all his life.
Kress was silent for a moment, and raised his hand to wipe the tears from Nevi's face: "What I wanted in my life, and you."
The two are difficult to suppress, if the future is not expected, then why not take advantage of the present to hug the people around them?
The decisive battle came as scheduled, and it was the most dangerous and difficult competition since Spartacus became a gladiator. And of course It's Kress's.
The instructor sent them to the door, and the one who should teach had already taught, and the rest could only be seen in their own fate.
Killed the puppy for me, the instructor gritted his teeth and said.
After last night's farewell, Kress began to understand somewhat why Spartacus had endured humiliation and secretly lived until now. He also finally understood that love was indeed something more worth pursuing than writing false honors.
Put on a helmet. The two men stepped into battle.
In the stands, in addition to the two gladiator trainers, there was also the administrator and his son. Everyone can't wait.
Ludia drank some water, and Nivea whispered that there was no water in the house.
Solonis showed off his fruit. He had seen that batitas had run out of oil and could not afford even water. After this game, it is estimated that the situation will be worse.
When the administrator spoke of the murder of the Ovidis family, Batitas pretended to express regret, and Solonis had some ominous premonitions.
After the special training of the instructor during this period, the two cooperated quite well. Theokos' attack was like a terrifying wave crashing on the shore, the wind hit the forest, and the two men took care of each other, attacking and defending, and fighting back and forth.
Theokos is shaped like a giant beast, and the two have attacked many times without causing fatal injuries, but the two have concerns in their hearts and prefer to win, and finally a perfect cooperation knocks out Theokos.
Without thinking about mending the knife, the two felt a little incredible, and although the game was thrilling, it was easier than expected to win. Only to see the audience cheering undecided, the fallen Theokos had risen again, it turned out that it was just an appetizer, and then he was ready to move.
Kress finally could not resist the temptation of honor, gave up cooperation, and prepared to go on a single. The instructor looked at the dark passage badly.
Sure enough, Kress, who had given up cooperating, was quickly knocked down, suffered consecutive heavy blows, and almost died. In the stands, both Nivea and Rudia secretly pinched a handful of sweat, but Kress, who had been in the battlefield for a long time, immediately found out the weakness of Theokos, and he used his helmet to reflect the light, and the blinding light forced Theokos to stop and protect his eyes. Spartacus seized the opportunity to roll over and knock out Theochos once and for all—this time he didn't forget to mend his knife.
Spartacus won the unwinnable battle. The dying Kress was carried off the battlefield.
Rain, it's raining!
He stood in the rain, letting the rain wash away his tired and scarred body. The audience cheered collectively, for this wonderful showdown, but also for this long drought rain.
They believed that Spartacus's victory had brought about the rain. He is God's providence.
The fallen gladiator has re-proved himself. No more being laughed at. For the first time, he felt the taste of honor, and the cries of the audience were all over his ears:
- Spartacus, Spartacus, Spartacus.
Spartacus, who became famous in World War I, became Batitas's cash cow, so will Batitas let him go?
What was Kress's fate after this battle? What would be the consequences of Batitas' reckless behavior?
Can those gladiators have true freedom in the end?
