Two days later, the contest began.
More than a million soldiers lined up for their turn on the stage and fought. And they couldn't only win one fight and get the armor. No. There were only fifteen thousand slots available, and a million of them had to fight until the end to get one of these slots.
The battle mostly ended fairly quickly. Nesterin and Goras were fairly disappointed when they saw the fight. These soldiers were too clumsy and inexperienced in using swords. They couldn't blame the soldier though, because before this they were simple farmers. They weren't born to fight.
There were two thousand stages erected all around the Boiling Volcano. Each day, ninety-six thousand contestants fought and battled for victory. It was all bloody and sweaty, and the feeling of victory wasn't that nice, because they still had more opponents to fight.
Every day, forty-eight thousand men were eliminated and had to go back to their room with bruises and pain.
