Chapter 297 The Death of the King

"Everyone, protect His Majesty the King, that guy is coming!"

The unusual movement on the Wild Hunt's side immediately aroused the vigilance of the Baratheon knights. They all ran to Robert, set up their shields, and pointed their weapons at the Wild Hunt.

Looking at these weak humans trying to stop him, the man under the Wild Hunt mask couldn't help but reveal a ferocious smile, then raised his sword and taunted:

"How can the power of a mayfly be comparable to the stars and the sea!"

Although the strength of these human knights is indeed good, as the personal bodyguards of the King of the Wild Hunt, Eredin, the elves who can join the Red Cavalry are also the best ones.

(Red Cavalry is the orthodox name, Wild Hunt is the human name)

The two-handed curved blades shining coldly in the snow were being held by this Wild Hunt elf, who was nearly two meters tall. He looked at King Robert who was protected by the knights in the center and roared:

"Death, King of Men!"

"Everyone be careful!"

Tap tap tap——

Under the horrified gaze of everyone, the Wild Hunt elf's legs exerted force, and then turned into a black shadow and rushed towards the human being a hundred meters away.

So fast! This is simply not the speed that humans can achieve!

Even the so-called 'fearless' Barristan was shocked by the speed of the Wild Hunt Elf, with a look of horror on his face.

In just a few seconds, the Wild Hunt elf arrived in front of the human knight a hundred meters away, then raised the long blade in his hand and looked at the knight who had not yet reacted.

"die!"

Click~

The antler helmet was unable to withstand the blade of the Wild Hunt. Before the human knight could even say his last words in his life, his entire head was cut in half!

However, the knight's sacrifice was not in vain. At least the curved blade of the Wild Hunt Elf was stuck in the knight's hard breastplate, and it seemed that it would not be able to be pulled out for a while?

"Good opportunity, kill him quickly!"

Seeing this scene, the surrounding knights immediately raised their swords and stabbed the Wild Hunt's exposed chest, trying to take the opportunity to kill the Wild Hunt who had exposed his weakness.

Ding~

However, the expected image of the sharp blade piercing the opponent's armor did not appear. The knights soon discovered to their horror that the invincible armed swords in their hands could not pierce the opponent's armor!

"How is that possible? It's obviously just a broken armor!"

Seeing that their sharp blades were unable to split the strange layer of bones on the opponent's body, the surrounding knights immediately retracted their weapons and prepared to attack again.

But how could the Wild Hunt elves give them another chance?

"After all, he is just a lowly monkey, how can he possibly understand the great forging craftsmanship of the elves?"

Looking at the ignorant and frightened knights around him, the Wild Hunting Elf leisurely pulled out the curved blade stuck on the corpse, and then swept it towards the throats of the surrounding knights!

Brush~

Several round heads instantly fell from the broad shoulders of these knights, and blood splashed everywhere like fountains falling from the sky, staining the skeletal armor on the Wild Hunt red.

The Wild Hunt elves were like the legendary demon warriors. They tilted their heads and looked at the blood on their bodies, then turned to look at the surrounding human knights and mocked:

"Go away now, incompetent human knights. I'm only interested in the head of your fat pig king. There's no need to give me any more icing on the cake."

"How brave! Although we don't know where you guys come from, we will never let you hurt the king!"

Looking at the agitated knights around him, Barristan angrily held his hands on the hilt of his sword, already making plans to die in battle to protect the king.

However, Barristan, who was standing at the front, did not notice the unnatural look on the faces of the sworn brothers standing behind him.

After all, compared to Barristan who is really willing to protect King Robert, most of the Kingsguard are basically ordinary knights who are more than willing but not capable, such as Merlin Tran.

At this time, he was like a frightened mole, huddled in the white cloak that symbolized honor. At the same time, he was standing on the plain farthest from Robert, obviously not wanting to be affected by the battle.

The violent elf who had seen this scene couldn't help but sneered, and then mocked the fearless old human man:

"Your courage is indeed commendable, but it seems that your companions are not determined to fight to the death for the king. Are you sure you really want to fight me?"

"No need to say more!"

As the captain of the Kingsguard, Barristan obviously knew that some of his sworn brothers were scum.

But even so, he is willing to entrust his life to those brothers in white robes!

The sword was unsheathed, and a white light swung out from Barristan's hands like lightning across the sky, aiming at the Wild Hunt Elf's thigh and stabbing it.

He had just been paying attention to the battle between the knights and the violent elves, so he naturally noticed that the armor on the opponent's body was not something that ordinary weapons could penetrate.

It is estimated that only weapons made of the legendary Valyrian steel made of magic can cut through the opponent's armor, right?

Since the opponent's armor is so strong, then attack the opponent's thighs and neck that are not covered by armor!

"Good skill!"

Seeing the astonishing speed that Barristan unleashed, the Wild Hunting Elf immediately put away the contempt in his heart, and then also raised his sword to face him.

Two figures, one black and one white, began to intersect. Even though Barristan was now a gray-haired old man in his sixties, he was actually able to gain the upper hand in the battle with the Wild Hunt elves!

Ding ding ding——

The sound of weapons clashing together resounded throughout the snowfield, and both the surviving Baratheon knights, the Wild Hunt, and even Caranthir focused their attention on this duel.

"I didn't expect that a human knight would be able to fight the Red Cavalry to such an extent. I thought they would only rely on their crossbows and shields to tremble behind the city wall."

Looking at Barristan, who was constantly suppressing the Wild Hunt elves with his own skills and movement, Caranthir felt a little sighing and regretful in his heart.

He was impressed by Barristan's fighting skills that were comparable to those of the elves, and at the same time regretted that Barristan was a human being.

After all, Barristan is only a human body after all, and although he can suppress the Wild Hunt with a sudden burst of energy, how long can he maintain this state?

Sure enough, after the fierce battle lasted for five minutes, Barristan's swing of the sword gradually slowed down, and even his resolute face showed a blush.

On the other hand, the Wild Hunt elves on the other side were still seriously resisting Barristan's attack, but at the same time they were able to concentrate and said sarcastically:

"You can't last long in this state. If you can't hold on, then our fight will end here."

"..."

Faced with the ridicule of the Wild Hunt, Barristan no longer had the high-spirited spirit that he used to suppress the opponent. Faced with the opponent's impenetrable defense, Barristan also felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart.

Through the confrontation just now, he had already seen that although the guy wearing the skeleton steel armor was physically strong, he was still no match for him.

If only he could be ten years younger...

No, as long as he is five years old, he is confident that he can take down this guy before his physical strength is exhausted!

However, for Barristan now, the so-called dream of rejuvenating his youth is just his fantasy after all, and it also means that his physical strength is about to be exhausted.

Phew~

"snort!"

As Barristan's physical strength reached its limit, the Hunting Elf's curved blade bit into the opponent's thigh like a poisonous snake, causing Barristan to let out a muffled groan as he lost his physical strength.

Barristan's knee was severely injured and he subconsciously wanted to kneel down on one knee. However, the glory of the Kingsguard made him stand up despite the pain, preparing to fight until the last moment.

"You are a respectable opponent. Don't worry, I will make your head into a specimen for collection."

The Wild Hunt Elf obviously had no concept of respecting the old and caring for the young. Looking at Barristan who was holding himself up, he waved his sword in praise and prepared to start the final execution.

Looking at the curved blade of the Wild Hunt raised above his head, Barristan closed his eyes helplessly, knowing that he was no match for the Wild Hunt now.

Hey, I can only hope that my sworn brothers can protect the king and evacuate quickly, right?

In a daze, he seemed to see the heroic and proficient Duke Robert, wielding his war hammer and smashing the heads of enemies one after another on the battlefield...

"Damn you bastard, what do you want to do to my Kingsguard!"

Clang——

With a roar full of prairie fire rage, Barristan opened his eyes blankly, and then saw a golden war hammer the size of a head suddenly appeared, smashing the Wild Hunt away!

The Wild Hunt Elf, equipped with a heavy steel armor, flew several meters away like a kite with its string broken, and then hit the ground heavily.

"Pfft-"

The Wild Hunt Elf who fell on the ground couldn't help spitting out a mouthful of blood, and then his face was covered in blood by his own mask. He could only kneel on the ground and take off the helmet.

Barristan stared blankly at the figure who saved his life. He was not as heroic as the story said. Instead, his round beer belly and fleshy face were particularly conspicuous.

The person who came to the rescue turned out to be Robert Baratheon!

"Your Majesty the King?!"

"Seven levels of hell. It seems that I really need to exercise. I didn't expect that I strained my muscles after just one swing. Hahaha!"

Robert laughed and helped Barristan up from the ground, then angrily yelled at the Kingsguards behind him:

"You losers actually want to watch your sworn brothers being hacked to death without doing anything. Are you worthy of the white robes you wear and your own glory?"

"But aren't they dueling?"

Merlin Trant's low voice obviously did not escape Robert's ears. Robert waved his injured arm angrily and roared:

"Fart! The so-called duel refers to a glorious battle between human knights and human knights. Look at the person opposite. Is that a knight? Is it a human?!"

Robert pointed angrily at the Wild Hunt who was slowly getting up from the ground in the distance. He had long felt that there was something wrong with the identity of these guys, and now it seemed that it was indeed the case.

This is not a roadblock knight at all, this is a premeditated alien invasion!

After hearing this, everyone focused on Wild Hunt's exposed head:

The cheeks, which are sharper and more elongated than humans, and the light yellow pupils are obviously not what humans should look like, not to mention the monster-like pointed ears and hair...

"Seven Gods, what kind of creature is this?!"

Even Barristan was shocked by the appearance of this Wild Hunt elf. He obviously did not expect that the monster he had been fighting just now was actually such a monster.

Sensing the strange looks that the humans around him were looking at him, the Wild Hunt Elf silently stood up from the ground, and then looked at Robert with murderous eyes.

So humiliating, so humiliating!

It feels like you're playing a video game with a gorilla, and just when you're about to defeat an old orangutan that's slow to react, you're suddenly defeated by a younger orangutan.

This is not over yet, the young orangutan actually called a group of fellow orangutans to watch you, and even pointed at your nose and said:

"Nuwa, sir, what on earth is this?"

There can be nothing more humiliating than this!

Looking at the furious Hunting Elf, Caranthil couldn't help but touch his staff, and then asked teasingly:

"Want to help? If you ask now, we can help you get rid of these human knights together~"

"What a joke! They are just a group of orangutans that have not yet fully evolved. How could I need your help?"

Although Caranthir's inquiry was entirely out of good intentions, the Wild Hunt Elf felt that his dignity had been insulted, and immediately raised his curved blade to kill Robert again.

Just because of my carelessness, how could I be killed by a fat pig-like human king?

Robert swung his war hammer again and aimed it at the Wild Hunt Elf's chest. However, the elf's keen insight allowed him to react quickly and slashed off Robert's wrist with his sword.

Ding--

"Don't even think about it!"

Barristan used his last strength to rush to Robert's side. With his injured knee, he could only use his own weight and upper body strength to swing his sword to block the sharp blade that was swinging towards Robert's neck.

Seeing Robert's hammer hitting his chest, the Wild Hunting Elf hurriedly retreated back while shouting:

"Lord human beings, don't even think about it...ahhh!"

The surrounding Kingsguards finally stopped watching the show, and several sharp armed swords struck directly at the gaps in the Wild Hunt elf's armor, immediately causing the elf to wail in pain.

And Robert seemed to have regained his former bravery. He raised his war hammer without hesitation and aimed it at the elf's head, then roared and smashed it down:

"Human beings are by no means inferior, monster!"

Bang~

The heads of the elves splashed on the white robes of the surrounding Kingsguards like exploding watermelons. Even Robert's face was stained with a lot of red and white stuff, which was disgusting.

However, Robert looked at the fallen elf body silently like a real warrior, then turned around with some pride and laughed at Barristan:

"Hahaha, it seems that there is no difference between this elf's brain and Rhaegar Targaryen. After all, it's just..."

"Just what, human?"

Pfft——

Following Caranthir's indifferent inquiry, a sharp ice spear suddenly rose from the snow and penetrated Robert's gorgeous breastplate!

Blood splashed directly onto the face of Barristan who was kneeling on the ground. Looking at King Robert whose chest was penetrated, the fearless man couldn't help shouting in panic:

"His Majesty!!!"
