Dominate the Game of Thrones with Mount and Blade

Chapter 71 Loras's Friendship

The first battle was between Arthur and the Hound Sandor Clegane.

The two sides waited at the two ends of the field. After signaling to the king, Arthur and the Hound pressed their visors almost at the same time.

Then they charged on horseback.

Because Red Hare was one head taller than ordinary horses, Arthur had a great advantage in the lance competition:

His center of gravity was much higher than his opponent.

When the two sides charged, if the opponent wanted to knock Arthur down, he had to tilt his lance upwards a little, otherwise he would poke the red giant horse.

According to the rules of the competition, if the opponent's horse was stabbed to death, he would be judged out.

So Arthur's opponents had to try hard to raise the tip of their lances, but they could never knock this handsome man off his horse.

The same was true for today's game with the Hound.

The prince's personal guard broke his lance when he charged for the first time, and also used a concave shield to block Arthur's lance.

But neither side fell off the horse.

So after rushing to the other side, Arthur and the Hound changed their guns and started to repeat the previous behavior.

Until the fourth time, the Hound's mount ran a little off, so he didn't control the strength well and was knocked off the horse by Arthur.

Bang!

The huge sound spread throughout the venue, and even a deaf person could know what happened because it was accompanied by vibration.

The Hound lay down for a long time before turning over.

The audience who were closer clearly saw that his dog-shaped mask was deformed.

"Go and help him, let him take off the mask and helmet and rest for a while." The kind-hearted Duke Eddard gave an order in a loud voice.

Two servants from the Red Castle came forward, but were waved away by the Hound.

The loser staggered away, but the winner raised the visor.

When passing by Sansa Stark's seat, Arthur winked at her.

This made Sansa's face and neck quickly become the same color as her neatly braided long red hair.

In order to blend into the circle of noble ladies in King's Landing, the official lady from the North began to braid her hair. She would not do this in her hometown.

Arthur rode his horse to the undetermined area, then dismounted and went to find his giant hammer.

Because the Mountain's mount might cause some trouble later.

After being knocked off the horse by Loras, the angry Mountain cut off the poor horse's head with a sword, and then prepared to kill Loras.

It must be said that the Mountain's brain circuit is a bit strange. He actually wanted to kill the third son of a duke under the eyes of the king and most of the nobles.

This duke is also the most powerful lord of the Reach in the Seven Kingdoms.

And the Mountain himself is just a knight with property. His lord, Duke Tywin, was not present and could not speak for him.

I don't know why the Mountain has such courage.

Because of Arthur's presence, the hound that originally obstructed the Mountain went to rest, so Loras might be in danger later.

He had to guard to prevent any accidents.

Even if we put aside the fact that Loras is the brother of Margaery Tyrell, he should be saved for his character.

The servant Medan stood by loyally, and Arthur picked up the giant hammer and walked towards the lance field.

Things basically did not change.

After a round of staggering, the Mountain was thrown off his horse, and the Knight of Flowers did not even break his lance, so it can be imagined that he was not knocked off the horse.

The people began to cheer, after all, the Knight of Flowers looked more likable than the vicious Mountain.

Then the Mountain began to chop off the horse's head and Loras according to the established process.

The cheers that were still floating in people's ears suddenly turned into screams and exclamations.

"Stop him." The new Prime Minister shouted, but his voice was obviously not as loud as Robert's.

No soldiers from the gold cloaks or the North responded.

Everything happened so quickly, and Loras also reacted and wanted to defend with a sword.

But his squire was pushed down by the Mountain.

The Knight of Flowers was knocked off his horse by the Mountain, and a piece of his breastplate was obviously deformed.

Then Loras, who had evil intentions, began to regret. Why did he ride the mare to make the Mountain's mount angry?

"I must kill you." Loras even heard the Mountain's muttering.

This is over.

Just when the Knight of Flowers felt that his life was about to end here, a huge hammer appeared in front of him and collided with the greatsword that was slashing at him.

The Mountain, a mere man, dared to attack my third uncle in front of me?

Arthur silently thought in his heart, blocked the sword with the hammer, and then swung the hammer to start forging iron with the Mountain.

Of course, hammers are always more resistant to collisions than greatswords.

After the Mountain's two-handed greatsword was bent by the attacks of the two, King Robert's order came.

"In the name of your king, stop it immediately."

The Mountain ignored Robert's words and continued to swing the crooked sword to chop at him.

Arthur was not a loyal hound, and he used all his strength to dance with the huge hammer to meet it.

The Mountain's sword hit the handle of the hammer and was cut off by him.

Then Arthur took advantage of the situation and hit the Mountain's foot with a hammer.

This made the foot wearing the iron boot sink deeply into the mud softened by the horse's hoof.

With the protection of the iron boot, although the foot was not broken, the Mountain should not be in good condition.

Arthur, who had the upper hand, wanted to hit him with a hammer, but the Mountain was obviously not a loser.

He pulled out his foot very quickly and limped away.

By the way, he pushed Barristan who was surrounding him.

"Brave Arthur Bracken." Sansa said with emotion.

After receiving flowers yesterday, she learned the name of this handsome noble from Littlefinger.

Lord Ed nodded and approved of his daughter's words.

He recalled what happened a week ago and said to his daughter casually:

"This person is full of kindness and justice, and is a friend worth making friends with."

Sansa remembered this.

After Loras stood up, the onlookers began to cheer again, as if the screams just now did not exist.

But this time, their cheers were directed at someone else.

Arthur accepted it all calmly.

The Knight of Flowers, who was slightly injured, was helped up by his servants and walked towards the tent in the distance.

A few minutes later, Loras, who changed into a linen suit, returned here again.

"I owe you a life, Sir Arthur. You will get the friendship between me and Highgarden."

The third son of the Lord of the Reach announced this.

Then King Robert also helped Arthur get the title of champion and a reward of 40,000 gold dragons.

According to the competition process, Arthur had to compete with Loras, the Knight of Flowers, but the irrational behavior of the Mountain saved the Lord of the Red Mill a lot of trouble.

Of course, he also gained more.

The friendship of Highgarden cannot be ignored.

There was still a long time in the morning, so the archery competition went on quickly.

Arthur was not lucky in this game. A mercenary won the championship and 10,000 gold dragons.

PS: Some people say that the hammer is too small, I think it's okay, the drum hammer is about the size of a human head, and it would be bullying if it was bigger.
