Chapter 806: You’d Better Be Closing Your Eyes
In the blink of an eye, Habitus had lost two fingers . However, he decided to ignore the pain, gritted his teeth, and jumped off the donkey cart . When he landed, he could not stand firmly and almost fell into a puddle .
After that, Zhang Heng decided not to go after Habitus because Bach was still in Murkazan’s hands . The latter felt that the plan would fall apart soon, not expecting that Habitus would fail to kill Zhang Heng . Now that he was left alone and Habitus had escaped, he was stuck in a dilemma .
He wanted to jump off the donkey cart too . However, Bach, now under his control, was glaring at him . Once he retrieved the knife in his hand, the latter would definitely pounce on him immediately .
Not to mention that Zhang Heng was next to him .
“Don’t come near me, or I will kill him,” Murkazan warned Zhang Heng .
“I’m not even close to him . ” Zhang Heng slowly drew out another Persian sword as he spoke .
Murkazan was speechless .
He knew that Zhang Heng had a good gladiator friend and that his name was Varo . He did not participate in the gladiatorial show at the Amphitheatrum Flavium this time . Before Zhang Heng showed his true strength, the two had spent a lot of time together . Now, if the person in front of him was Varo, he might use him to threaten Zhang Heng . As for Bach, he had been spending most of his time with his Germanic allies . Zhang Heng and Bach did not have too many interactions except for their fight that night .
When Murkazan came up with the plan with Habitus, he wanted to restrain Bach first, worried that Bach would be too stubborn to cooperate with them . Now that the plan had failed, Murkazan was stuck in an awkward circumstance . He couldn’t let Bach go because he knew that Bach would definitely beat him up . If he held on to this posture, however, Zhang Heng would stab him with his Persian sword .
Murkazan was so frustrated that he almost cried . But fortunately, Bach solved this problem for him afterward .

When Murkazan was distracted, Bach became violent suddenly, and he kicked Murkazan’s chest . The latter also subconsciously grasped the knife in his hand . As a result, Murkazan fell backward, and at the same time, he was swinging the knife . Murkazan managed to slash Bach’s chest, and fortunately, the knife did not penetrate deep into the flesh . Though it looked bloody, it did not hurt much .
Bach could not be bothered by his wounds . He stood up and immediately rode on Murkazan and began to teach the latter a lesson with his fist . An eye for an eye and blood for blood had always been Bach’s way of living .
However, he was stopped by Zhang Heng after he landed a few punches on him .
Bach frowned . “Why? This guy has just joined forces with the bastard Habitus in plotting against you . Where is the rage that you had when you fought against the bison? Bring it out now . If you don’t want to get your hands dirty, I can beat him up for you . ”
“I’m not saying you shouldn’t beat him, but we have something more important to do now . Lift your head and look around,” replied Zhang Heng helplessly .
Bach then raised his head, and he found out that the donkey cart had stopped at a random place . The driver had disappeared without a trace . Their current location was kind of remote . It seemed like they were located behind a few warehouses, and there are no other people nearby them .
When Bach was about to ask Zhang Heng what just happened, he saw a group of masked men charging at them from the small lane between the two warehouses .
Bach rolled his eyes when he saw this . “Do you think it’s funny, Sartonilos? Do you really think that we can’t recognize you just because your face is covered by cloth?”
The masked man in the lead smiled . “It doesn’t matter if you recognize me… I’m good as long as no passersby can see my face . ”
Bach was shocked when he heard this . “You are shameless . You colluded with Habitus and brought us here, but Habitus was unable to do anything to us . So, you brought a group of people to deal with us instead . Are you planning to work together to beat us up? Aren’t you ashamed of yourself? What’s more, you are the most powerful gladiator in Rome after Sethnets retired . ”

“Wrong . ” Satonilos shook his head . “You are wrong . I am no longer the most powerful gladiator in Rome . Although the final result has not been released yet, I know that all of us will eventually lose the battle . All the fame we accumulated over the past few years has now become the stepping stone for others . Now, everyone knows that the man beside you is the most powerful gladiator in Rome . ”
“So who are you trying to blame? No one asked you to be weaker than others . ” Bach sneered, and he looked at everyone around him . Other than Sartonilos, he recognized a few men that he was familiar with . Bach was secretly surprised by them, not expecting so many famous gladiators would be willing to put down their honor like Habitus . Most of them were renowned veteran gladiators . Now they were gathered here shamelessly to eliminate their opponents .
“We don’t have a second way out . It’s not right to ask us to sit back and wait . We have to do something about it before the bad things come to us . ” Sartonilos spread his hands, “Other than that, you are wrong about one thing . We are not going to fight the two of you at the same time . ”
“Why? Are you trying to be a gentleman now? Taking turns to fight with us is just as shameless,” Bach snorted .
“No, no, no . We only want to fight him . As for you, you can stand aside and watch us . ”
“No! Don’t let him go . He knocked out my teeth!!!” Murkazan, who was under Bach, suddenly screamed .
Bach then punched him again, and two more of his teeth fell out . Murkazan suddenly became quiet again .
“What do you think? As far as I know, your relationship with him is very ordinary . Right now, the gap in strength is too wide . There is no need to make yourself suffer,” Sartonilos continued .
“Yes . I’m different from the despicable human beings you guys are,” Bach grinned . “Besides, do I look like a fool to you? Since you are all determined to eliminate Zhang Heng, I don’t think you guys will keep me alive after you deal with him . ”
Sartonilos laughed, “Habitus was right . You just look stupid, but you are not easy to deceive . It seems like I’ll have to go all out this time . ”
“Come on!” Bach picked up his weapon and shield as he spoke and jumped off the donkey cart . When he looked back, he saw Zhang Heng putting away the Persian sword .
“Huh? Didn’t you see their determination? Even if you surrender now, they won’t let you go,” Bach reminded .
“I didn’t want to surrender, but there is no need to fight face-to-face,” Zhang Heng said .
“Are you scared?” Bach asked rhetorically .
“Kind of . I’m not worried about myself . If a fight breaks out, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be diverting my attention to you . I am worried that you will be killed by one of them . Besides, these people are still useful to me . What he said before is true . I need them to be my stepping stones and use their honor and fame that they have accumulated to send me to the top . The last big show has not started yet . I can’t kill all of them right now . ”
“Are you going to act so arrogantly before you die?” Sartonilos sneered, “Look at your surroundings . There is no way for you to leave this place now . You have to kill us all if you want to leave this place safely . But the question is, will you be able to do it?”
Before he could even finish, Zhang Heng replied to him, “Who says there is no way out?”
While Zhang Heng was talking, the shadow from a pair of enormous wings appeared on the wall behind him . And it was slowly spreading out .
“You’d better close your eyes later,” Zhang Heng said to Bach, who was still confused by the current circumstance .

On the Road to Elspar (Book 1)
The year is 1329. The Huntress' War has entered its tenth year, inflaming competing nationalisms and pitting the Confederacy of Caldrein against one of the continent's superpowers, the Tenereian Union. Desperately outnumbered, the Confederacy has relied on the prowess of its famed Caldran mercenaries, with highly-trained and experienced warbands returning from foreign conflicts to the defense of their homeland, and it is on their backs that Caldrein has successfully mounted a valiant defense for a decade. But they are losing, and day by day, with all the grace of a sledgehammer, the vast Tenereian armies take one more bit of Caldran territory, one footstep at a time. Sixteen-year-old Neianne from the village of Caelon has submitted herself to Faulkren Academy, one of the centuries-old institutions established to train the next generation of Caldrein's elite soldiers of fortune, to learn the ways of wars for three years before embarking upon the defense of her country. Her dryad family once hailed from reclusive woodland communes isolated from Caldrein's complicated mainstream society, and her upbringing leaves the shy village girl unprepared to suddenly train alongside other apprentices from backgrounds as low as the dirty slums of Caldrein's cities and as high as the halls of aristocratic power. Yet the war is eroding the norms and traditions that the Caldran people have long considered part of their national mythos, and the tensions within the confederacy that have long simmered under the surface - race, class, community, identity - are slowly but surely dividing its people, and Neianne must grow and discover who she really is, even as the war that she is steadfastly training for comes to its inexorable end... On the Road to Elspar is a fantasy quest - a work of interactive fiction wherein readers get to vote on what happens next at critical junctures - that is the first entry in a story that follows Neianne of Caelon, which first began on July 20, 2016. Originally a three-part in medias res prologue to a larger story titled On the Elsparian Road, it was eventually decided that this section - which covers Neianne's three years at Faulkren Academy - become its own independent story due to length, structural, and accessibility reasons. Despite this being a reader interactive work of fiction, due to logistical and verification concerns, voting will only be counted on its thread on the forum Sufficient Velocity, where this story originally began. As such, the content here on Royal Road serves as a story-only archive. You are, of course, entirely welcome to enjoy On the Road to Elspar as a conventional work of fiction, just as you are welcome to comment, discuss, and provide critique. But if you would like to participate in the voting, then I would be honored to welcome you on Sufficient Velocity. To facilitate accessibility and to ensure the best reading experience, this story-only version of On the Road to Elspar will be updated at a periodic pace, even though further content exists, so as to not overwhelm new readers on Royal Road. If you enjoy this story, wish to binge it, and/or want to participate in voting immediately, you may of course read all additional content via the link provided above. This paragraph will be removed once the content on Royal Road catches up with what has already been posted in its original thread. Cover artwork by DreamSyndd.
