202 If You Go Ahead, You Might Have a Chance to Live!
They couldn’t even commit suicide!
Now that Pei Qian was willing to give them a chance to escape further torture, although these northern barbarians cursed him, they didn’t object to Pei Qian’s arrangement.
A bearded soldier locked at the entrance of the cage turned around and gestured to his subordinate, indicating that he was willing to stand up and be the first to go!
The subordinate nodded and gestured for the guard to take action. The guard opened the cage and pulled the northern barbarian out.
The northern barbarian’s feet and hands were tied with heavy shackles, and from the looks of it, they didn’t seem to have any intention of untying them. The northern barbarian didn’t mind. He took two wobbly steps before standing still and catching his breath. He didn’t stop for long. He continued walking and only stopped when he stood in the middle of the arena. He looked at the group of refugees opposite him who were waiting to go on stage like a wolf staring at a group of sheep.
“You can choose weapons.” Qian He raised his hand and pointed at the weapon rack with swords and sabers at the side, indicating for the three Wang family members, who were about to go on stage, to go forward and choose.
After Qian He finished speaking, he didn’t stay where he was for long. Instead, he retreated from the battlefield and stood to the side.
Of the three people from the Wang family who were going to fight first, one chose a short dagger, one chose a long saber, and the other chose a sharp-looking spear. They entered the arena together and carefully approached the northern barbarian who had his hands and feet chained. He was unarmed and looked disheveled.
The Wang family members seemed to have a huge advantage on the battlefield.
However, the actual cruelty exceeded everyone’s expectations!
Just as everyone felt that the northern barbarian would be killed by the three Wang family members in an instant, he suddenly attacked and took the lives of the three Wang family members in less than five minutes!
All of this happened too suddenly. The massacre in front of them stunned the refugees outside and in the arena, especially the refugees who were about to go on stage. At this moment, the timid ones had fainted. Some of them didn’t faint, but they were already frightened out of their wits. Even the bolder ones no longer had the courage to go forward…
The Wang family members, who were filled with anticipation and pride previously, couldn’t take it anymore when they saw their loved ones die in front of them. They began to cry and beg for mercy from Pei Qian, who was sitting at the front of the tent and watching the show.
However, this time, Pei Qian was no longer as agreeable as before.
“Since they agreed to participate, they have to participate!” As Pei Qian stared at the chaotic crowd below, the smile on his face became more and more sincere.
“If you guys move forward, you guys might have a chance to survive! However, if anyone dares to take half a step back, we’ll kill them without mercy!”
With Pei Qian’s order, the archers standing on the high hill were already prepared to shoot those participants who wanted to escape.
At this point, no matter how slow-witted the others were, they could tell Pei Qian’s motive.
He hadn’t forgiven these refugees for going back on their word previously. He had been waiting to get revenge and this was his chance!
They were almost in the suburbs of Cloud Mountain City. The end of this trip was right in front of them. There was no longer any danger for them to deal with, so he could finally deal with these people who had once disgusted him!
What was even more heartbreaking was that the end was right in front of them, but these people were destined to bid farewell to their families forever at this last moment!
Seeing that the remaining three people from the Wang family were unwilling to move forward, Qian He couldn’t be bothered to wait for them anymore. He gestured for the guards at the side to drag the three young men, who were already so frightened by the battle just now, into the arena.
Although the northern barbarian soldier didn’t understand what Pei Qian had just said, from the actions of the people in front of him, he could more or less guess what was going on. He couldn’t help but laugh loudly. He showed no mercy to the Xia empire people in front of him!
Anyway, he knew very well that he definitely wouldn’t be able to survive today, so the more people he killed, the better. Even if he was going to die, if a few more people died with him, it was worth it!
After this northern barbarian made this decision, he was no longer restricted to killing the lambs that had sent themselves to the battlefield. After killing the three Wang family members, he looked at the remaining refugees who were waiting to go on stage. However, they were already so frightened that they didn’t have the courage to take another step forward.
Just like a wolf entering a flock of sheep, for a moment, it became a one-sided slaughter!
As for the tightly locked northern barbarian soldiers in the cage, they seemed to be on steroids as they squeezed between the cages and cheered for their companions who were killing these refugees.
Seeing that the dozen or so refugees who wanted to participate were all killed by the northern barbarian soldier, the refugees outside were so frightened that they didn’t even dare to scream…
After all, no one knew if they would anger the crazy northern barbarian and make him rush over to kill them.
At this moment, Lu Ze, who had been silent all this while, suddenly moved. He walked steadily into the competition venue and stood still. However, he didn’t attack the northern barbarian who had turned around and discovered his arrival. Instead, he gestured and instructed the guard beside him, “Go and take off his handcuffs and shackles!”
The northern barbarian was immersed in the killing. He originally thought that Lu Ze was another person waiting to be slaughtered. After hearing the explanation from the subordinate who knew the northern barbarian language, he was surprised.
“If you still think you’re a northern barbarian warrior, show me your true ability!” Lu Ze bent down and picked up the spear on the ground. He held it in his hand and stood with his head tilted while waiting for the northern barbarian to attack.
Although this northern barbarian soldier wanted to drag people down with him before he died, he wasn’t stupid.
The familiarity with weapons that Lu Ze had just displayed made him keenly feel that the person in front of him was completely different from the refugees he had easily killed previously.
He flexed his wrist, squatted down slightly, and carefully picked up the short dagger on the ground. Then, he faced Lu Ze and got into an attacking position.
The battle was about to start. Just as the northern barbarian was about to rush forward and teach Lu Ze a lesson, he heard Pei Qian, who was sitting there and watching the show, suddenly say, “Wait!”
