Dominate the Game of Thrones with Mount and Blade

Chapter 59 Marin Tran

"Can't you be more serious?" The king glared at his younger brother. "Is it right to let a group of people who have been beaten get beaten again?"

Lord Renly smiled elegantly at his elder brother and stopped talking.

Loras Tyrell, the Knight of Flowers, followed behind Renly and was amused by the two's words.

After glancing at the two coldly, Robert turned to Arthur and others in front of the Iron Throne.

"You all have your own opinions, and I can't tell who is right and who is wrong. Let's put it this way, Sir Arthur, as long as you show your strength to defeat these twenty people, I will believe you."

Robert felt that this was the greatest privilege he could give.

"First of all, I'm not a knight, I'm a small noble." Arthur pointed out a mistake in Robert's words.

Sir is the title of a knight who has been granted a title, and it does not apply to nobles with fiefs.

"Secondly, I am very happy to use my own strength to expose the lies of Cleos and his followers."

Arthur now dislikes Cleos and others. Just now he was as cowardly as a grandson in the tavern, and now he is full of lies, without blushing or beating his heart.

Maybe this is the basic cultivation of nobles!

If possible, Arthur really wants to deal with Cleos and his cousin again.

"You are alone and have not put on armor yet, how to arrange it?" Robert asked.

"Whatever, my strength is here, just follow what Lord Renly said, and fight them again."

"Alas!" Robert looked at Arthur helplessly, "Then let one of my Kingsguard take off his armor and fight you. If it's a draw, I will consider what you said to be true."

The Kingsguard is a knight who swears to protect the king for life. The oath is almost exactly the same as the oath of the Night's Watch on the Wall, never marrying, not having a fief, and not having children.

The biggest difference between the Night's Watch and the Kingsguard is that only powerful knights who have become famous in Westeros can join the Kingsguard, and the number of people is generally fixed at seven.

The king announced his idea, but he didn't expect that this remark would cause discussion among the onlookers and nobles.

"Sure enough, they only help their own people."

"Isn't this too bullying? Mr. Arthur should have done the right thing, but he just exaggerated it a little."

"Look at the king, he is biased towards the relative of the Lannister family, who made his queen the Lion family."

"How can this young man tie with a Kingsguard?"

The troublemaker Lord Renly made a new proposal at this time: "Brother, I think this is very unfair to Arthur. Everyone knows what the strength of the Kingsguard is. Your method is to judge that Arthur and Desmond and others lied."

"I also think it is unfair. Letting a Kingsguard fight Mr. Arthur is really bullying." The new Prime Minister Lord Eddard also expressed his views.

Robert also felt that his previous proposal was too exaggerated. An unknown young man would definitely not be able to beat a Kingsguard in his prime.

Even the old ones, such as Barristan, may not be able to tie.

"Young man, I'd better change people to fight with you. Sterling, you pick a strong captain to fight Mr. Arthur."

Janos Sterling was the commander of the gold cloaks. After hearing the king's order, he turned around and picked the weakest captain from behind him.

He could still understand King Robert's intention.

"Ah, that's not important." Arthur refused, "My strength is here, it's nothing to fight with a Kingsguard."

The Lord of the Red Mill was just trying to test his skills. He estimated that he might be second only to the top masters of the continent like Barristan or people like the Mountain who are naturally strong.

In the Kingsguard, except Barristan, the rest are only at the level of the first-class knights in Westeros.

Even if Arthur's skills are not good enough, his strength is enough to make up for this shortcoming.

You know, his current strength is 17 points, which is only three points away from the upper limit of 20 for normal humans.

The onlookers and nobles couldn't understand what Arthur said.

"Don't be so stubborn, young man. You can't beat the Kingsguard."

"Let's follow the king's suggestion!"

"Let him fight with a white robe and lose face in front of so many big men."

Robert was also dissatisfied with Arthur's rejection of his second proposal. The young man's evaluation in his heart was reduced a lot.

"Since you insist, let a Kingsguard fight you. Meryn Trant, take off your armor and fight this gentleman for a few moves. Don't bleed."

A Kingsguard standing on the steps of the Iron Throne responded, turned around and bowed slightly to the king, and left through the back door to take off his armor.

"Which kind person can lend me a big sword? The heavier the better." Arthur asked.

His hammer and big sword New Moon were still in the inn halfway up Visenya Mountain. At this time, he didn't have a weapon in his hand.

Hearing this, the crowd laughed out loud.

"After all this trouble, you don't even have a sword!"

"Why are you still pretending? You want to challenge the Kingsguard without a sword?"

Because the second proposal was rejected, King Robert didn't want to help Arthur.

The scene suddenly became awkward.

"How about this, I'll lend this gentleman my Ice Sword." Lord Eddard said.

Ice Sword is a Valyrian two-handed sword passed down from the Stark family, and it may also be the most famous Valyrian steel sword.

According to the original book, after Eddard was beheaded by King Joffrey, this sword fell into Tywin's hands and was melted and forged into two and a half swords: Widow's Wail and Oathkeeper.

Arthur's action of standing up for an unrelated little girl was very much in line with the new Prime Minister's wishes, and he asked his guard captain Jory to deliver his sword.

"Thank you very much, Prime Minister, righteous people always attract each other."

Arthur nodded to Eddard to express his gratitude, then took the steel sword, waved it, and felt that the weight and length were just right for him.

If there is a chance, after Eddard Stark was beheaded by Joffrey, help the Wolf family keep this steel sword, after all, it is a family heirloom, and it cannot be recast by the old lion Tywin in vain.

Not long after, Meryn Trant also took off his armor and changed into gray pants and a linen shirt.

"You two just need to fight a few moves to prove that Desmond and Arthur did not lie about defeating these twenty people. Don't cause bloodshed."

Captain Barristan of the Kingsguard reiterated the rules of the fight.

A large group of golden cloaks surrounded the onlookers and circled a fighting area.

The two nodded, walked into the circle, and began to observe their opponents.

"Ed, who do you think is right?" Robert asked with his head tilted.

"Although I hope Arthur wins, it is clear that Sir Tran has a greater chance of winning." Duke Ed gave his opinion.

As soon as the voice fell, the two began to fight in the eyes of nearly a thousand people in the audience.
