Camel Orc

"Bull Butcher, I haven't seen you for two months. You've really become more and more handsome."

After interacting with the makeup artist in so many matches, Lin Lei had long since grown used to his tone, as well as his desire for his face.

"Alright, if you're done admiring me, then quickly get me a set of clothes."

"Oh, right, right, right. You're going to fight Halhaza's camel orc gladiator today. I'll have to pick out a cool outfit for you."

Hearing the makeup artist mention the camel orc, Lin Lei could not help but fall into deep thought.

The day before...

"I'm going to send you to fight against Halhaza's gladiator, the camel orc."

Tullius sat in front of Lin Lei, his face still filled with that warm smile.

"Camel orc?"

Lin Lei was stunned. He had never imagined that one of the gladiators Halhaza sent would be a fellow tribesman.

"Yes, this camel orc is considered an excellent gladiator in Halhaza. I heard that he can control flames with a scimitar in his hand, but I've seen him in the past few matches, and he has never used this trick."

Tullius frowned slightly. "If this trick isn't a rumor, I'm afraid he hasn't used his full strength yet."

"Those few gladiators who sacrificed themselves died a tragic death. Even I, who's in prison all day, have heard a lot of rumors."

Lin Lei's words did not cause Tullius' expression to change in the slightest.

"Gladiators either win or die in the arena. This is the fate of gladiators. If they die for Talantum, they will die with honor."

"So, I'm the next one to be honored?"

Lin Lei could not help but mock.

"Don't say that, Bull Butcher."

Tullius did not take it to heart. "Think about how you won miraculously every time you were in a situation where you were sure to lose before you received training. After that, you also let the entire gladiator circle know that you were the creator of miracles. I believe that you can also make a miracle happen in this match."

"Yes, your face and my makeup skills combined are simply perfect."

The makeup artist pulled Lin Lei to walk a few circles. He was so excited that he wanted to immediately find an artist to draw out what Lin Lei looked like right now.

"There's not much time left. I have to go to the arena."

"Alright, then I'll have to ask my artist friend to draw your heroic figure in the audience.

The makeup artist had a look of pity on his face.

Lin Lei walked to the back of the corridor leading to the arena.

In the arena ahead, the crowd's shouts could be heard. After the roar of the racing chariots ended, the crowd's eyes lit up.

The host's high-pitched voice rang out. "Today will definitely be a hearty battle. Gods above, believe me, the collision between two strong players will definitely have different sparks. Please enjoy this visual feast!"

As the host's words ended, the audience started to cheer again.

Titus sat at the head of the table, and the prince of Halhaza sat to his right.

"Father, Prince Suleiman."

Lana walked forward and gave Titus and Prince Suleiman a royal salute.

"Kind blessings to you. Princess Lana, you're truly radiant today."

Suleiman stood up and returned the greeting.

"I've heard that camel orcs are invincible in the arena and very powerful. Lana's curious, so she wanted to come and take a look."

Lana sat to the left of Titus, who had his eyes fixed on the arena the entire time.

"If Blazing knows that the princess is here, he'll be honored." Suleiman nodded slightly at Lana.

"Since that's the case, let's just enjoy it. The noble princess of Talantum just wants to see a gladiator fight. Why can't we satisfy her, right?" After a long time, Titus spoke.

"Thank you." Lana lowered her head, then turned around to look at the arena.

"Let us welcome our friend from Halhaza with the most enthusiastic gesture—Blazing, the camel orc!"

The audience gave him face and cheered.

"Blazing!"

"Blazing!"

"Blazing!"

However, there was a little dissatisfaction among the cheers.

"What's the point of fighting? This camel orc has already killed several gladiators of our Talantum. It's so embarrassing."

"That's exactly why we have to fight. We need a gladiator to defeat him so that we won't be too embarrassed, right?"

"But if he keeps winning, won't we keep losing face?"

"You can't say that. Don't we still have a lot of gladiators? Perhaps Bull Butcher can defeat the camel orc this time. After all, he's the miracle gladiator who turns the tables."

"Let's hope so."

With the cheers of the crowd, Blazing came from the back of the tunnel.

He was wearing a purple headscarf with a green feather next to it.

Blazing was only wearing a pair of embroidered linen pants. His pants were big, and the bottom of his pants was tightly wrapped around his ankles, making the pants look like two bulging balloons.

His bare upper body was muscular, and there were two humps on his back.

Blazing walked to the center of the arena and saluted to the audience.

"Everyone should be looking forward to the gladiator that's coming out now."

The host kept them in suspense.

However, the audience already knew who was going to appear.

Some people could not help but start shouting 'Bull Butcher'.

"That's right. It's the miracle gladiator, Bull Butcher, whom we haven't seen for a long time!"

"Bull Butcher!"

"Bull Butcher!"

"Bull Butcher!"

"Bull Butcher!"

Instantly, the audience burst into cheers and shouts, and some people even prayed in low voices.

"The great Ancestral God will grant the high priest victory!"

Lin Lei walked out from the back of the tunnel, causing the arena to erupt with even louder cheers. Half of the cheers came from the female spectators.

Lana looked at Lin Lei, who was currently in the arena, waving to everyone in greeting. The corners of her lips could not help but curve upward.

"This orc seems to be very popular."

"This fox orc's face is indeed very popular, and he's also a gladiator who has won 90 rounds in a row. Now, whenever gamblers see him, they'll definitely bet on him."

Seeing that Suleiman was interested, the diplomat explained.

"I see."

Suleiman chuckled. "Unfortunately, before coming to Talantum, Blazing was also a gladiator with a 90-match winning streak. After coming here, it's now a 99-match winning streak. I wonder if Blazing can successfully win 100 matches this time."

"This camel orc is excellent, but I'm afraid Your Highness doesn't know that Bull Butcher has improved in every game..."

"Lana."
