When Nimrod led the 2nd Regiment to Omsk, the entire Hive City had already fallen into chaos.
Without much effort, he conquered Vostonia's fourth-largest Hive City, which had lost its king and garrison captain and was now leaderless.
After Nimrod experienced the miraculous effectiveness of infiltration and decapitation strikes, he immediately prepared two portions of the "assassin" potion, cultivating Tsvetana and Dementyeva—whose potential was slightly inferior to Maria's, but who were just as loyal—into Beyonders.
After sending the three Beyonders to continue carrying out assassinations, he quickly searched through the royal treasury.
In the treasury of this warrior king, Nimrod not only gathered enough for two sets of "Warrior" potions, but also found four Pit Gladiator belts in his collection. They were the main ingredients for the Sequence 8 "Brawler" corresponding to "Warrior."
Like most Hive Cities, Vostonia also had hive residents who, because of debt and various other reasons, were controlled by the guilds' binding contracts and reduced to miserable pit slaves.
The most miserable among them were the Pit Gladiators, doomed to fight to the death in the arena. In most cases, such arenas were not presentable, but Omsk was an exception.
Model was rather obsessed with gladiatorial combat. Not only had he established an arena, he often attended in person to watch gladiators fight life-and-death duels. The four belts he had collected had belonged to the only four champions with one hundred victories.
They had ultimately earned the chance to challenge Model, and died in a gladiatorial fight for their freedom.
["Brawler" is also known as "Gladiator" or "Duelist," and a Pit Gladiator's belt is an ingredient. It really does fit the internal logic.]
Nimrod immediately thought of Thierry and summoned him to the palace.
The short golden-haired noble came before him and immediately gave a briefing.
