Red Castle East.
In the huge Royal Garden, the atmosphere is warm and noisy.
Competition system activity center of the martial arts contest.
"I heard you had a competition with that Morgan last time in Winterfell?"
James Lannister, dressed in beautiful pale gold armor, rode on his horse and looked at Sandor krigon, the hound beside him.
Sandor, the hound, nodded and said nothing.
But he knows what the other party wants to ask.
"How about his strength?"
James Lannister continued to speak, but thinking of the strong archery that the other party could kill the huge winter bear with one arrow, he immediately stressed: "sword strength?"
"I lost that time."
Facing James Lannister's inquiry, Sandor krigon, the hound, shook his head truthfully.
Even though he was not familiar with James Lannister, once the pride of the Lannister family in Kay rock, who has now become a notorious "regicide".
But as long as the other party is a member of the Lannister family, as a member loyal to the Lannister family, he can't refuse the other party's inquiry.
"Oh, I've never stopped you saying such things..."
"Even in the king's landing City, not many can surpass you?"
Although this result has been obtained in other populations, James Lannister still thinks it best to ask Sandor krigon, his client's hound.
Now he was puzzled and annoyed to hear the wild and cold hound say so.
"Nothing..."
"I'm not his opponent..."
Sandor krigon, the hound, continued to shake his head.
This made James Lannister feel unhappy. At the same time, he secretly raised his attention to the Morgan.
Of course, he knows that the other party has proposed to compete with him several times, just to be famous by himself.
At the winter city dinner, I thought about it and ignored him.
But I didn't expect that the guy dared to challenge himself openly in front of the king and queen.
What's more, the king took the opportunity to promise.
This made James Lannister angry and helpless.
As a member of the legendary royal guards of Westeros, he was challenged by a nobody from the countryside in the north, and he had no right to refuse.
But the king's words are the will and the iron law on the land under his feet.
He has no right to refuse.
"Well, it seems that the boy is not just a strong mouth at the helm..."
Seeing that there was nothing useful to ask, James Lannister turned his head and said casually.
At this time, the old man in front of a group of Knight contestants took out the list of competition. James Lannister immediately rushed forward.
Soon.
When James Lannister and Sandor krigon, the hound, arrived, they just heard the old man say two names they both knew.
"Morgan vs. Sir Hugh..."
"Sir Hugh?"
James Lannister, who got off his horse, immediately looked at the momentum of a man wearing silver and fine armor in the crowd ahead, and immediately remembered who the other party was: "Sir Hugh of elling Valley..."
"He was originally an attendant of former Prime Minister Jon Ailin, and was knighted by King Robert baratheon after the other party died..."
The message of the monk Knight came to mind quickly.
James Lannister looked again not far away, the expressionless Morgan in the dark red majestic armor he had never seen before.
"That Sir Hugh is of average strength and can shoot the winter bear with an arrow..."
He seems to have been able to see the outcome of the battle.
"Sir Hugh..."
Hearing the name, Morgan recalled it a little, but he didn't remember it at all.
But I don't care.
Unfortunately, I didn't meet the "regicide" James Lannister in the first round.
Glanced at the tall and handsome blond man in gold fury bag armor not far away.
Morgan has some regrets.
But as long as we win, it's inevitable to meet each other.
Of course, if the other party is eliminated before that, let's say something else.
"Sir Baron against Sir korod..."
The official old man's voice continues.
"Sandor krigon against Sir Roland..."
"Eh... Hounds..."
Hearing the name, Morgan turned his head and looked at the tall man with ferocious face and black armor not far away.
It happened that Sandor krigon, the hound, also looked over.
Morgan grinned.
"James Lannister against Sir rahir..."
The voice fell.
This name is much louder than Sandor krigon's reputation. Now most of the participating Knights immediately look at the calm "regicide" Royal Guard in the rear.
Immediately someone whispered.
"Unexpectedly, the" regicide "also participated in this martial arts competition..."
"If the regicide who broke his oath still has the face to participate in the martial arts competition, he should be hanged in front of the gate of King's landing..."
"This is his Majesty's generosity..."
"He lost to the" hundred flower Knight "Loras tiller last time. Maybe he came for revenge this time..."
"Revenge... I don't think he'll ever win Loras Tyrell..."
"Don't forget that the other party was born in Kay rock, the eldest son of Duke tywin Lannister, his sister or his majesty..."
"So what? The Duke of Kaiyan is bigger than his majesty? Bigger than the oath of the seven gods?"
“......”
Listen to the rapid whispers around.
Morgan finally saw the reputation of "regicide" James Lannister.
Turned around and looked at the blonde figure not far away again.
Although the other party's face still looks calm.
But Morgan could see that there seemed to be some tension on each other's face.
"Sir curd against Sir Messier..."
"Finally, sir Gregor krigon will play Sir Loras tiller."
After reading the list in one breath, the old man seemed to cough a little, and then continued: "the above is all the candidates for the current long gun competition system."
"The order of appearance, that is, the order of the list I just quoted..."
"Prepare yourself..."
"The game starts in ten minutes..."
The old man then walked to the tent set up by one side.
Before the old man left, all the participating Knights immediately talked about it.
"Damn it, my opponent is Sir Sandor krigon, who is called the hound..."
"Ah, sir Gregor krigon of the" Magic Mountain "is here. There is no hope of winning the first place in this horse long gun competition..."
"Fortunately, I also participated in the" archery competition "competition system..."
"Haven't you noticed that Sir Gregor krigon of the" Magic Mountain "and Sir Loras tiller of the" hundred flowers Knight "are the opponents in the first round..."
"So what? Can you expect the other party to let you go when you meet the other party?"
"It's better for both of them to lose, so we have a big chance..."
"I said do you need to be so worried? They just attended a few more times and became more famous..."
"After this time, our name can spread all over King's landing, even all over Westeros..."
“......”
All the contestants and knights talked about it.
At this time, there are not only competitors who are about to participate in the horse long gun competition system.
There are also some riders of other "group melee competition system" and "archery competition system".
Because the three competition systems are not carried out at the same time, but switch the time and compete one after another, which can also be seen by the king, Queen and all the residents of King's landing city.
The competition time of "long gun competition at once" is in the morning;
The competition system of "archery competition" is noon;
As for the "group close competition", the competition system time is in the afternoon;
The duration of the martial arts contest is generally about two to three days.
The specific number of days and duration will depend on the number of participants.
The total number of people participating in the competition this time is more than the last time, but there is not much more. The duration should be three days.
On the first day, all three competition systems were in the first round;
Similarly, the next day, the winner of the first round will conduct the second round of competition;
On the third day, it was the competition between the winners of the second round until the final winner of each competition system was determined.
The above is the general schedule of the contest.
However, because the threshold of competition is very high, they are either knights or guaranteed by nobles or big people.
Such a threshold stopped many people.
Knights are not cats and dogs.
This is the capital of the seven countries, the king's palace, the king's King's city.
Otherwise, other cities do not have such great charm to attract enough participating knights.
But even so, the participating knights are limited.
Therefore, as long as the Knights consciously have enough strength, they can participate in two competition systems, or even all three.
This is also the reason why Morgan can sign up for the three event system at one time.
Back to the point.
Many knights who participated in the martial arts contest for the first time are still talking about it.
But experienced Knights have begun to check their armor and their horses.
The loser will be taken away by the winner with his armor and horses.
The cost of such failure is by no means small.
Each participating Knight came for honor and Golden Dragon coins.
No one will not do their best.
The ten minute preparation time passed quickly.
Just after Morgan checked the horse radish.
On the track, the two rode horses, wearing fully armed and bright armor, holding a huge wooden long gun and wooden shield, standing in front of the entrance of the track, waiting for a serious figure, along with the sharp whistle of officials.
The two knights walked in parallel to the competition field in front of the grandstand where the king and queen and the nobles and civilians of King's landing city were located.
Soon, with the appearance of the first group of two competition knights, countless civilians in the stands immediately cheered.
In the deafening cheers.
The two knights dismounted in the center of the competition field, then took off their helmets and saluted the king and queen on the high platform in front of them.
After receiving instructions from the impatient King Robert baratheon.
The two knights put on their helmets again, mounted their horses, pulled out a distance on the wide competition field, and then rushed towards each other with wooden spears and shields.
"Bang Bang..."
"Bang Bang..."
The roar of horses' hoofs sounded quickly.
Look at the two armed Knights opposing each other.
Everyone in the stands was looking forward to it in tension.
Finally.
"Bang..."
With a heavy and dull sound.
The two knights collided.
If there is not a great disparity in strength between the two or a major accident.
Otherwise, it's not easy to tell the winner from the first blow.
"Bang..."
"Bang..."
The dull crash of the wooden gun kept ringing.
On the first blow, the two knights who could not decide the outcome and quickly entangled each other waved their huge wooden guns and attacked each other.
Every dull attack seemed to strike the hearts of countless spectators on the surrounding stands.
Let them indulge in it more and more.
"Bang..."
"Bang..."
The sound of wooden gun collision rang through the audience.
The two knights seem to have the same strength. You come and I go for a long time and can't decide the outcome.
It was fun for countless people in the stands, and they began to talk about it at the same time.
At this time, the former prime minister, ed stark, Duke of Winterfell, and his two daughters were sitting next to the tall grandstand from the king and queen.
Looking at the fierce battle on the field, Elia stark couldn't help looking at her father with some distracted eyes and asked, "father, who do you think will win?"
"Uh..."
Ed stark regained his mind, slightly embarrassed, looked at his little daughter and said with a smile, "of course, it's only after the competition..."
The moment the voice falls.
Countless frightened voices suddenly sounded.
Ed stark and Elia immediately looked at the field and saw that one of the Knights was stabbed in his chest armor by another knight's long gun.
The assassinated Knight immediately lost his shape and fell off his horse.
At this moment, cheers immediately rang out like a blanket.
The winning Knight immediately took off his helmet, raised his helmet in one hand and his long gun in the other. He was very excited and began to ride around the circular field, enjoying the cheers of all the audience.
The defeated knight can only limp to the sideline with the help of the staff who have rushed into the field.
The first round winners have limited time to enjoy the cheers.
Soon, the winning Knight left the field.
The second group of knights in the long gun competition immediately appeared on the field.
Similarly, after saluting the king and queen.
The battle began again.
The battle between the knights in the second group is somewhat similar to that in the first group.
The two knights are equally equal in strength.
The war is equally fierce.
However, there is no special explosion point and no special ignition point.
The battle ended without surprise and joy with the fall of one of the Knights.
On the stand, countless spectators once again issued deafening cheers.
Not long.
When the winning Knight left with his head held high in cheers.
The defeated Knight went away in a hurry.
Then.
Soon the third group of knights in the long gun competition came on.
From a distance, I saw a knight wearing silver white exquisite body armor and a knight wearing extremely rare dark red majestic armor with a color similar to blood coagulation and unique shape and grain.
On the high platform, King Robert baratheon, who had some careless eyes, immediately became interested, moved his bloated body and sat upright.
Next to her, Queen cersei Lannister also looked slightly positive.
Prince Geoffrey stared at the dark red figure.
Aside, the noble grandstand area.
Elia stark looked at the figure in the distance, immediately greeted her sister and father, pointed to the figure in the distance and said loudly, "look, it's the teacher, it's Mr. Morgan..."
"I see. Keep your voice down..."
"Elia, this is outside..."
Ed stark, the former prime minister, could not help but speak with painstaking care.
Aria shouted.
Other powerful nobles around were not interested, and their eyes focused on the dark red figure who entered the field.
Soon.
When Morgan in dark red armor rode the "Radish" and the knight Xiufu in silver armor to the center of the field to salute the king and queen.
When his majesty asked Morgan in dark red armor why he didn't wear a helmet.
Countless spectators in the stands woke up and found that the knight with ponytail, tall, unique and powerful armor, handsome appearance and the ability to make girls and ladies scream did not wear a helmet.
"Tell your majesty, I never wear a helmet..."
When Morgan smiled and said that he never wore a helmet, there was a sparse hiss in the stands.
Obviously, many viewers expressed their dissatisfaction with the knight who walked alone with some exceptions.
But when King Robert baratheon laughed, the booing stopped immediately.
Then.
As the king waved.
As usual, the two knights walked away in the opposite direction and drew a distance.
At this time, the staff on the sidelines sounded the gong.
The competition officially began.
"Bang Bang..."
Looking at the silver knights in full arms and armed with huge spears.
Morgan looked cold, holding a huge wooden gun obliquely and a horse belly, "Radish" immediately rushed out with great excitement.
"Bang Bang..."
"Bang Bang..."
The hoofs rumbled.
Close
Closer
Finally, in the grandstand, countless people looked forward to it nervously, and the two knights collided.
"Bang..."
With the heavy dull impact sound sounded again.
A silver figure suddenly flew backwards from the horse's back.
"Bang..."
When wearing silver armor, the knight flew down for tens of meters and fell heavily to the ground.
At this moment, the whole stadium stands were silent.
