Game of Thrones: Dawn of Justice

Chapter 38: Shot down with one shot, how come this guy is so strong!
The war horses' hooves kicked up the dirt, making snorting sounds from time to time.

Garen and Jon Fossoway shook their heads and looked at each other, their fighting spirit rising.

"start!"

As Ser Ronmos waved his flag, Garen and Jon Fossoway immediately clamped their horses' bellies and began to steer their horses forward!
The warhorse was getting faster and faster. Garlon held the wooden spear level, his eyes calm and sharp!
Lei Yan's explosive power is obviously much stronger than the warhorse under Jon Fossoway's crotch, and he runs more steadily than Jon Fossoway's horse, which allows Garen to better adjust his center of gravity.

The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, and in a blink of an eye it was only ten meters!
At this time, Garlon's mental strength of 19 points came into play.

He could clearly see the details and intentions of Jon Fossoway's movements, and predict where Jon Fossoway's spear would land.

In a spear duel, whoever falls off the horse first loses.

Therefore, in addition to trying your best to knock the opponent off his horse, you also need to adjust your center of gravity and posture to cope with the force transmitted from the opponent's spear.

Ordinary knights rely on luck.

Experienced knights rely on adjusting their center of gravity to withstand the attack.

High-end knights, on the other hand, use their own techniques to dodge or relieve the force.

For example, at the moment when the opponent's spear touches your plate armor, you can turn your body sideways and use the curvature of the plate armor surface to unload most of the force.

Unloading force is very complicated, which not only tests the rider's equestrian skills, but also tests the rider's center of gravity control and body coordination ability.

The key is that in this process, you also need to use a spear to attack and shoot down the enemy.

This requires a knight to have all-around abilities without any shortcomings.

This is why the spear competition has always been the highlight of the martial arts competition.

Only those who win the jousting tournament are considered the true champions and can receive the "Crown of Love and Beauty".

In the blink of an eye, Garen and Jon Fossoway passed by!

Garen's spear pierced Jon Fossoway's heart!

This shot was fast, accurate and fierce, with incredible precision!
And Jon Fossoway's spear accurately pierced Garen's chest.

It is unrealistic to completely avoid the enemy's spears in such a rapid cavalry charge.

However, at the moment of being hit, Garlon still slightly turned his body, relying on the arc of the plate armor to successfully relieve some of the force. At the same time, he stepped harder on the stirrup with his left foot to cope with the impact of the impact on the center of gravity.

"boom!"

Two dull collision sounds were heard!

"oh--!"

Seeing this scene, there was an instant cry of surprise from the stands!
Garlon's body swayed slightly, but he quickly stabilized himself and continued to ride Lei Yan forward.

And Jon Fossoway was in trouble.

He only felt a terrifying force hitting his heart instantly!
Even with the protection of chain mail and plate armor, he still felt as if he was stepped on by a horse, and a huge force was transmitted along the armor to his heart.

His chest felt tight, and he felt short of breath and dizzy.

The force caused his body to lean back, and it was beyond the ability of his waist and abdomen to twist it.

Many factors directly led to his fall backwards.

If he fell off the horse directly, it would be okay. After all, he was protected by armor and helmet. At most he would fall badly, but it would not be serious.

But unfortunately, in order to deal with the shot, he stepped very hard on the stirrup, and when he fell, his left foot was entangled in the stirrup.

So he lost his balance and fell backwards to the ground, and his left foot was entangled in the stirrup, and he was dragged forward by the black warhorse!

He only had time to let out a muffled groan before he lost consciousness.

"Wow!"

The audience all widened their eyes; they didn't expect the result to be like this!
Garen actually shot down Jon Fossoway with one shot!
This shot was really clean and neat, without any water, and the high and low were determined in an instant!

Jon Fossoway's knights and squires, as well as several members of the Riverlands family, quickly stopped Jon Fossoway's horse and rescued him from being dragged backwards.

Judging from their appearance, Jon Fossoway should not be in danger of death.

However, it is not known whether there are any sequelae or whether the leg is lame.

After confirming his victory, Garlon lifted the visor of his helmet, rode on Leiyan on the field, paced slightly, and looked at the audience on both sides.

"oh--!"

"Garon!"

"Garon Tas!"

……

In an instant, many audience members stood up and cheered excitedly.

The noble girls, in particular, had their eyes sparkling. Garlon's performance had surprised many.

Not only did he not lose, he also defeated the famous knight Jon Fossoway with a clean shot.

The audience loves this kind of "surprise".

What's more, Garlon is of noble birth and handsome, which is really a pleasant surprise!

At the Hightower family seat, Helena and the others went from covering their mouths in shock to being surprised in an instant.

They all stood up and cheered for Garen.

Ellery, the sister-in-law, didn't care about Jon Fossoway, her theoretical future brother-in-law, at this moment, and kept cheering and waving for Garen.

The Tyrell family was relatively silent.

Olenna, the Queen of Thorns, fell silent, with an incredible look in her eyes.

She never expected that Jon Fossoway would lose and be shot down by Garen.

This doesn't look like an "accident" at all, but rather a gap in strength.

"Jon!"

Jenna Tyrell, the daughter of Olenna, the Queen of Thorns, let out a mournful cry and immediately ran out of the stands in a panic to check on her husband's injuries.

Paxter Redwine's expression remained normal, but a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He had guessed that Garlon would win, but he didn't expect Garlon to win so easily.

"It seems that this kid from the Tas family is indeed not simple."

Paxter thought to himself.

A few years ago, when toothbrushes and toothpaste became popular in the River Reach, he began to pay attention to the Tas family.

He had also heard a lot about Garlon over the years.

For some reason, he felt wary of the Tas family.

"Galon, good job!"

In the audience seats at Stormland, Robert stood up excitedly, opened his voice and cheered for Garen desperately.

He had already defeated his opponent in the previous battle and was now wearing plate armor and sitting in his seat cheering for Garen.

The Emons family, the Wilde family, and other nobles from the Stormlands all cheered for Garlon.

In addition to the Stormlands, where the northern nobles are located, Eddard also cheered for Garen.

He admired Garlon very much.

In order to catch up with Garlon, he has spent a lot of time training over the years.

However, he did not participate in the martial arts competition this time because he knew it would be difficult for him to win a good ranking.

"Ned, is he the Garlon you were talking about? He's really powerful!"

Brandon Stark finished cheering and said to his brother Eddard.

"Correct!"

Ed smiled rarely.

"I didn't expect that he is not only smart but also so strong."

Lyanna blinked and sighed.

A few years ago, after Ed gave her a toothbrush and toothpaste, she became very curious about Garlon, and today she finally saw him.

"Holland, see? These knights are not as powerful as you think. I think you should ride on your horse and challenge those guys to punish their knights and squires."

Lyanna suddenly turned her head and spoke to the short man, Howland Reed, who was sitting next to him.

Upon hearing this, Holland Reed looked sad and embarrassed.

He was a marshlander, and marshlanders were not good at riding horses or wielding heavy spears. If he were to take the field, he would only bring shame to Greywater Watch.

He could accept failure, but he could not accept bringing shame to Huishuiwang.

Seeing Howland Reed remained silent and somewhat withdrawn, Lyanna sighed.

Since last night, she has been urging Holland Reed to sign up for the martial arts tournament to wash away the shame of being bullied, but Holland Reed always backs down.

This made her feel particularly disappointed with him.

She clenched her fists, looked at Garlon in the field, her eyes lit up, and she had an idea.
