Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 157 156. Ineffective silence

After the two combatants paid their respects in front of the king, they turned their heads and separated.

Gregor Clegane is not only as powerful as he is thanks to his gifted body.

When he drove the horse to the reserved position for the competition, Lan En could see that this guy's riding skills were also quite impressive.

Compared with the famous [Magic Mountain], Sir Hugh is like a monkey riding a dog.

No one was optimistic about his game.

But at the same time, no one expected that the accident on the competition field would come so suddenly.

"Xilulu!"*2

The horses neighed, and the two men, who were quite different in size, charged at each other.

The hoofs of the war horses stirred up the mud and weeds on the ground, and the sound of treading on the ground was like the beating of hearts in people's chests.

The tips of both men's lances were trembling with the ups and downs of their horses, making it difficult for the other party to know exactly where to stab.

For knights who charge with lances, the game of lance placement and shield parry is also a necessary skill.

At the moment when the two of them crossed paths, Gregor's horse was just at the moment when its front hooves were on the ground and its center of gravity shifted downwards.

Xiu Fu instinctively moved the shield on his deputy downward to protect his upper body and chest.

This was the largest area, and it was also the most suitable attacking position relative to Gregor's state.

But Lan En, who was watching the game in the audience, had such superhuman motor skills that he frowned at this moment.

"The horse's center of gravity dropped, but his own center of gravity was leaning back on the horse. The target of the lance was on top!"

Just as Lan En predicted, the dark-coated wooden lance looked like a python coming out of its hole!

In the process of Xiu Fu's shield moving down, it just brushed the edge and stabbed towards the throat!

The armor plate at the gorget is the weakest part of the armor, because the twisting angle of the neck itself must be fully taken into account.

It's true that a competition lance is a fragile wood product. But under normal circumstances, that requires the lance to explode when it hits the thick body armor of the knights, dissipating the impact.

In this case, the gorget armor was directly pierced!

After a split second, the horses of [Magic Mountain] rushed all the way to the end of the track without stopping.

Xiu Fu fell down just in front of the high platform where the king was.

His armored body hit the dirt road hard, and a palm-long wooden thorn was stuck in his throat.

The blood in the blood vessels of the throat was flowing out through the opening of the wooden thorn.

Xiu Fu stared blankly on the ground, his arm seemed to reach to his throat, and he pulled out the wooden thorn.

But before his hands reached his neck, he had no strength left and could only scratch randomly in the air.

On the high platform, Sansa screamed and hid in Eddard's arms.

Alia's face looked ugly, but after spending the night in Vizima in the tavern, she now felt no fear or discomfort except for surprise.

The nun who accompanied Sansa was the most exaggerated. She howled and screamed.

Ed stared, trying to accept the sudden bloodshed in front of him, comforting his eldest daughter in his arms, and looking towards the audience.

After making eye contact with Lan En, he saw the young man frowning and nodding slightly.

Kill and silence.

And it was a blatant but undeniable killing.

The family that [Magic Mountain] belongs to, and the calm and calm look he has now, clearly illustrate this point.

Their behavior is unabashed, and in the eyes of those who know it, it is even more arrogant and domineering.

But when facing a powerful opponent, you must be prepared for the enemy's naturally high fault tolerance rate.

Even if the Lannister family was spotted by others, there would still be explanations.

I killed people and silenced them, but you don’t know why I killed people and silenced them.

What if it's just because of a small thing?

It's not impossible for a knight to offend a Lannister for a trivial matter and then be killed, right?

Is the Prime Minister going to fall out because of this kind of thing? We are all nobles, so don’t make it look so ugly!

Otherwise, if the great nobles start fighting among themselves, will this kingdom still be maintained?

So even though Ed's face was as black as soot now, he could only stay in this stand and watch the tournament continue.

After seeing the blood in the competition arena, the enthusiasm of the crowd became even higher.

After several knights in a row decided the winner, [Magic Mountain] came on the stage again and faced off against a guy called [Knight of Flowers].

His horse was covered with a sitting carpet woven with flowers, and the armor on his body was designed with hollow carvings.

While it is gorgeous and beautiful, its protective capabilities have been improved by spending money.

And not only does his family have a wealthy family, he is also a thoughtful person.

He rode a mare in heat and successfully disturbed [Magic Mountain]'s mount with the mare's scent while charging with a lance.

The tall black horse's footsteps were disrupted for a while, and by virtue of this moment, the mare's originally inferior basic qualities relied on her good footsteps to overwhelm the opponent in terms of impact.

He used his riding skills to successfully stab the tower-like Gregor Clegane.

Cheers like a mountain roaring and a tsunami sounded, and the victory of the glorious and handsome knight always made people happier than the victory of the [Magic Mountain].

Then this tall giant raised his hand and pulled off his helmet, drew his sword like chopping firewood, and cut off more than half of his mount's thick neck!

The thick horse's neck was only connected to the lower layer of flesh when it fell to the ground.

This was not enough, he angrily slashed at the victorious Knight of Flowers.

If the [Hound Knight] beside the prince hadn't rushed down and fought with his brother for a while, the knight would probably have to answer here.

Finally, the farce ceased with the roar of the king. Today’s one-day match schedule also comes to an end.

Bonfires were set up at the tournament venue and the banquet began.

The adults who wanted to return to King's Landing set up their carriages and horses, preparing to take their families back.

As long as Ed closes his eyes now, he will remember Xiu Fu's throat being stabbed by a wooden thorn.

He has seen a real battlefield, and he doesn't care about this scene. But there are his daughters here, and he doesn't want them to stay here for even a minute longer.

"They are killing people. Do we need to see Xiu Fu's body? Ser Barristan is keeping vigil for him, and no one can do anything in front of him."

Ed rode on the horse and asked Lan En in a low voice.

Ser Barristan is a legendary figure in this world and holds the title of [Fearless].

Many years ago, in a battle called the 'Battle of the Nine-Copper King', he charged directly into the enemy's formation and killed the enemy's generals, ending the war.

His bravery and integrity have been sung on this continent for decades, even though now he has a flabby old man's face.

But if you ask someone in Westeros who is the strongest knight in the world, then the answer will probably be - [Fearless] Barristan.

He has simply become the benchmark and symbol of the term "Knight".

"It doesn't matter whether he does anything or not. Xiu Fu is already worthless. His most useful things are all in his head, and we have already emptied him of that information."

Lan En pushed his silver hair away from his eyes and said calmly.

"On the contrary, his death now will make the enemy feel that they have cut off the clues and relax. The time when they relax is the time when we can most easily gain an advantage."

"Now, it's time for you to find out what abnormal behavior the former prime minister had during his lifetime. The resistance will be much smaller."

After thinking for a while, Ed seemed to have thought of a certain goal.

"I see."
