Dominate the Game of Thrones with Mount and Blade

Chapter 15 This is called fighting

After changing into his chainmail, Arthur put on the horse-face mask customized by Shili City, and then swung the sword a few times, feeling more comfortable with it.

Sure enough, weapon proficiency can increase his mastery of the greatsword.

This feeling is indescribable. To use an analogy, it is like the sword becoming an extension of the arm.

Although Arthur's sword skills have not improved, higher proficiency will allow him to use weapons more flexibly.

Confidence arises spontaneously.

No matter who Hans Darry is, I, old Arthur, can kill him with one sword.

The attendant took Arthur back to the martial arts arena behind the castle.

At this time, there was already a strong man with gray beard standing in the field, wearing a more common silver plate armor produced in the Western Region, without a mask or visor.

He was a head shorter than Arthur, his body was obviously wider, and he looked burly and powerful.

It seems that this is Hans Darry.

In the Usurper's War, the Darry family was a royal party and worked hard for Prince Rhaegar.

After Robert became king, he punished royal families such as Darry and Clinton by reducing seals and increasing taxes.

Therefore, these families have many high-paid knights who come out to live a leisurely life to reduce the family's daily expenses.

Hans Darry is such an example.

Otherwise, with his ability, how could the Darry family be willing to let him go.

Seeing Arthur entering the scene, Hendry said with a hint of pride: "Dear Arthur, Mr. Hans is very skilled in martial arts, so you have to be careful."

Arthur thought for a moment and realized that he still had one hundred and eighty gold dragons that he had not redeemed yet, so he said, "I gave my one hundred and eighty gold dragons to the two soldiers I brought."

Hendry said in surprise: "Don't bet on yourself anymore? This time the odds are one to one."

Arthur firmly refused, "I won't bet anymore."

He is not a reckless man, and he still understands the principles of asset hedging.

If he wins the battle and borrows five hundred Bracken soldiers, he can definitely confront Blackwood head-on, and he will not be in vain at all.

If you lose, at least you win some money, so your trip won't be in vain.

As for how to solve the problem of Blackwood and Brynden, it seems that we have to go to Riverrun and ask Edmure to deal with it.

The only advantage of being in Hejian is that Fengjun is a really kind person.

As long as Edmure Tully, the river guardian with a softer ear than a heart, comes forward, Arthur will have no problem keeping his territory.

As for whether you can squeeze some money out of Brynden Blackwood, it's hard to say.

"Then let's get started." Hendry's tone softened.

His take on the fight was the same as most.

That is, Hans will win, which is reflected in the bets, that is, more people will win if they press Hans than on the field.

After all, one is a veteran fighter who has been famous for a long time, and the other is just a rising star.

This rising star has only won two games.

In the audience, most people pumped their fists and cheered for Hans, while those who supported Arthur had almost no voice.

In the field.

"I watched the first two games, and you are a good prospect. If you have more skills and flexibility, you may be able to tie with me." This stern-looking knight said of his opponent.

The implication is that Arthur is no match for him now.

Arthur shook his head, "You should change your words."

"What?" Hans was puzzled.

"You should say that there are few people in the world who can equal me."

Hans didn't understand, shook his head, said nothing, and pulled out his sword with a hiss.

Perhaps because he was focusing on his opponent, Arthur felt that the action of drawing the sword made the sword vibrate to the point of making a sound.

Hans took the lead in attacking, and his five-foot sword drew an extremely sharp arc, attacking from the lower side of Arthur's left hand.

This attack angle is quite tricky. Arthur's sword can only block it, but cannot use force to stop the attack.

Fortunately, he had experience. He took a step forward with the sword in his left hand, pressed the sword blade with his left thigh to resist Hans' sword, and at the same time swung his right hand fiercely towards Hans' chin.

Who says swordsmen can't hit people with their fists?

Hans took a step back to avoid the punch.

The distance between the two increased slightly.

Arthur quickly picked up the sword with his left hand and stabbed forward.

Hans was slightly surprised, "Why did you react so quickly?"

He had to step aside and slash at Arthur with his sword.

"I've always been this fast, I'm a fast guy."

Arthur shifted his toes and heels slightly to adapt to the need for force from his legs, and then blocked the thrust of his sword.

In the expectant eyes of dozens of spectators, the two swords rushed in both directions.

The sound of gold and stone spread throughout the audience!

Then Arthur took advantage of the situation and raised his sword to chop.

Hans is not only superb in skills, but also very strong in pure strength. This kind of sword confrontation is not weaker than Arthur at all.

Both men showed an indomitable momentum.

"The formation to kill the generals and the mountains and rivers to suppress them should be used to describe such a scene. This is called fighting!" Ma Ke sighed sincerely with his mouth slightly open.

He has been completely attracted by the battle between the two. In just one round, the variety of moves was more exciting than the previous two combined.

Hendry, who was sitting next to him, looked in disbelief, "How is it possible? How could he catch Hans' moves?"

He knew how strong Hans was.

Whether it is skills or strength, they are the pinnacle of Shili City's guest generals.

I dare not say that in other places, at least in the riverlands, there are only a handful of knights who can defeat Hans.

Although this is related to Hejian's lack of martial arts, there is no doubt that Hans is powerful.

At least he is at the level of a top-notch warrior in Westeros.

If Hendry had not been the acting city lord, he would not have been able to order Hans to fight for him.

Arthur, who was previously unknown, could actually fight Hans to this extent.

Even if he lost this game, he would soon become famous in Hejian.

Considering the possible tournament, such a powerful warrior would be recruited and favored by many nobles.

It was just a favor for the nobles to stop the Blackwood family from thinking about a few villages.

Hendry suddenly realized that he did not handle Arthur's request for help very well.

Caryl Vance looked at Hendry's uncertain face, and his depressed mood because of Dylan Weishui's defeat suddenly improved a lot.

After all, the person he chose lost, which was equivalent to telling others that his vision was not good and the knights under his command were not good.

It was still a bit embarrassing.

If Arthur won, he would be the same as the two people around him, and others would look at him less strangely.

There was a clang again on the field, and the two were entangled.

Arthur knew that his combat experience was far inferior to others, so he used attack instead of defense, and chopped like a storm.

Hans defended so well that no one could penetrate him.

There were dozens of spectators, but fewer people cheered. Many people stared at Hans' textbook-level defense.

Such live observation is an excellent learning opportunity for some lower-class nobles who cannot afford a good coach.

Just as civilians have no way to systematically learn martial arts, lower-class nobles also lack resources in this regard.

Unless he is the adopted son of a great noble, such as Petyr Baelish, a small noble from the Five Finger Peninsula, who became the adopted son of Hoster Tully, the river guardian, he can enjoy the teaching of the coach of Riverrun.

But obviously, Lord Baelish, nicknamed Little Finger, did not learn any advanced martial arts.

PS: Some readers mentioned the problem of the golden dragon. I feel that my setting is not wrong.

The exchange rate of one gold dragon for 210 silver deer is very inaccurate. In Martin's book, there are many basic currencies such as gold dragons, silver deer, silver moons, copper coins, copper half cents, copper stars, etc., and the exchange rates are different according to the prices in different places.

When the Little Devil hired the Second Sons, a sergeant was 100 gold dragons, an officer was 1,000 gold dragons, and the captain was 100,000 gold dragons plus a castle and a noble title.

You can refer to this price.

I don't know the source of the saying that 700 gold dragons hired the Little Half Golden Group, but it is probably not true.

The leader of the Golden Group is a descendant of Blackfyre and has Targaryen blood. It is not that cheap.
