Asking for two gladiators, and a team with a chance to win the championship at that, is no small matter.
The gladiatorial tournaments at the Dire Maul Arena are much larger than those at the Gurubashi Arena, attracting a large number of spectators and bettors, sometimes numbering in the thousands, generating enormous wealth. Consequently, the rewards for the champions are also substantial.
Especially after the High Elf took over.
Quel'Thalas is far richer than the original Gor'dok Ogre Kingdom, more than ten times richer, and the prize money it can offer is also much greater than before.
In this gladiator tournament, the champion of the singles competition will receive a reward of up to 50,000 gold coins, while the reward for the 3v3 competition is as high as 100,000 gold coins.
This is no small amount. The annual tax revenue of 20,000 people in Stromgarde is only this much. Among the nobles of Lordaeron, let alone liquid assets, there are no more than 50 people with this much fixed assets.
How could anyone not be tempted by such a large sum of money?
Aren't these gladiators here for the prize money?
Jiang Jie's mere mention of the price was tantamount to giving up an income of 100,000 gold coins. How could Rehgar possibly agree to that?
He glanced at Jiang Jie and Duke Jorach with considerable apprehension, clearly aware of their status and position; if they were truly willing to disregard everything, eliminating him wouldn't be difficult.
But it's impossible for him to just give up the championship like that.
Actually, he is already very wealthy.
In recent years, his gladiator business has flourished. The gladiators he has trained have earned him wealth far exceeding 100,000 gold coins; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to support dozens of gladiators of at least high rank.
Yes, dozens, not just a dozen or so.
He was already the most famous and powerful slave owner in the Orcs world, and was well-known even in the dark world of Azeroth.
However, he is far inferior to the leader of the Assassins' League.
In the past, given his personality, he would have stood his ground even when facing the Grand Duke of Stromgarde and the leader of the Assassins' League.
This is Dire Maul, the territory of the High Elf. As long as the High Elf want to maintain their reputation and the traditions of the arena, they will not allow anyone to openly attack the gladiators participating in the competition, nor will they allow any casualties to occur within Dire Maul or outside the arena; that would be a provocation against the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas.
As for hidden arrows?
Rehgar was confident that with his strength and influence, he could hold them off unless Legendary intervened. At worst, he could simply ask the High Elf to open a portal to Orgrimmar after the match. He didn't believe those two dukes would dare to chase him all the way to Orgrimmar.
He genuinely found it hard to believe that the Grand Duke of Stromgarde would personally deal with him. After all, if word got out, what would become of Lordaeron's reputation?
The Assassins' League is quite professional in this regard, but he didn't quite believe that Duke Jorach would personally take action.
Even if Duke Jorach were to intervene personally, he might still be able to stop him.
But now, things are different.
He came into contact with Shaman, and his mind became much more peaceful.
He even became friends with Thrall, and the Thrall were teacher and student to each other:
He taught Thrall and the Kor'kron combat skills, especially gladiator techniques, while Thrall in turn taught him the ways of Shaman.
He is no longer so forceful; there is room for compromise now.
"My goal is the championship, Your Graces."
Rehgar remained calm, but his voice was loud. "The prize money doesn't tempt me, the championship is what I want! Without Lo'Gosh and Valeera, I can't win the championship!"
Even with them, you still won't win the championship.
Duke Jorach laughed and said, " Rehgar, don't you know how strong your opponents are?"
opponent?
Jiang Jie had just arrived and didn't know who was participating, but he noticed that Rehgar's expression seemed rather unpleasant. Could there really be a team among the participants that could rival his team?
That shouldn't be happening!
It's not that Lo'Gosh, Valeera, Broll's team ultimately won the championship.
He's even a perennial champion in various arenas? Although Broll is gone, Rehgar's strength is definitely no less than Broll's in the past.
He himself is a 1v1 gladiator champion, and his title carries far more weight than Thrall's.
Thrall was merely the champion of some minor arenas in Lordaeron, while Rehgar was the gladiator champion of the Dire Maul Arena, essentially the gladiator champion of all of Azeroth. Thrall was far superior.
What kind of squad could make Rehgar look so unhappy?
Jiang Jie looked at Duke Jorach, Duke Jorach smiled and said, "Your Grace, in the 3v3 finals, besides Rehgar's team, there's also the team of Tide King Rrurgaz, and the demon team prepared by the High Elf. Both of these teams are formidable opponents."
Tide King Rrurgaz?
Upon hearing this name, Jiang Jie raised an eyebrow.
Varian escaped from the Alcaz Island outside Theramore and became " Glash," while Tide King Rrurgaz, was the master of Alcaz Island.
When Onyxia took action and removed Varian, she intended to split him in two, killing the brave part and keeping the kind and gentle part for easier control.
As soon as he was split in two, he was Cheap Shot by the Naga. The brave Varian escaped, but was soon captured by the Naga and imprisoned on Alcaz Island.
Why did the Naga intervene?
Clearly, these guys knew about Onyxia's plot and Varian's identity, and wanted to interfere.
So, Tide King Rrurgaz, obviously knew all this as well.
Therefore, his purpose in forming a three-person team to participate in the competition is worth speculating about.
To dare to Cheap Shot Onyxia, Tide King Rrurgaz, is clearly no small fry; he's quite powerful, otherwise Rehgar wouldn't have looked so displeased.
Of course, Rehgar's expression might also be because of the demon squad.
The demon team that made it to the semifinals must be no ordinary team; those demons must be very powerful, enough to give Rehgar a headache.
"I have confidence in my squad," Rehgar said in a deep voice.
This is a difficult situation.
Duke Jorach looked at Jiang Jie, his meaning clear:
This is a difficult situation.
Jiang Jie smiled and was about to speak when he suddenly saw a brilliant firework bloom in the sky above the arena, forming the words "3v3".
Immediately following, amidst the dazzling fireworks, two teams of six images appeared.
One of the teams consisted entirely of Naga, including a massive Naga Warrior, a Naga Siren, and a Gorgon with long, flowing hair that Gorgon like snakes.
The other team, besides Rehgar, included a cold-faced human Warrior with a chiseled expression, and a High Elf female assassin dressed in blood-red armor and wielding poisoned twin blades.
The first match of the 3v3 semifinals has begun!
