Game of Thrones: Dawn of Justice

Chapter 39: You are a jumping clown, and you are seeking death from the challenger. I will grant your wish!

Garlon's performance amazed the audience and left a deep impression on them.

But it didn't cause any sensation, after all, this was his first appearance.

Next, pairs of knights appeared one after another, feasting the eyes of the audience and making them scream with excitement.

Garen received a ransom for the armor and horses sent by Jon Fossoway's family.

The custom in tournaments was that the victor would receive the opponent's horse and armor.

Of course, you can also redeem it by paying a ransom.

Garlon received a ransom of 6 gold dragons.

This is also the reason why powerful knights are keen to participate in martial arts competitions.

You can make money and become famous at the same time.

At the same time, this is also the reason why many young or weak knights dare not easily participate in the tournament.

For some proletarian knights, horses and armor could be said to be their entire property. Once they lost a duel, they would go bankrupt.

Without their horses and armor, they could no longer even be called knights and would directly fall to the status of commoners.

Even for some nobles, losing their horses and armor would be painful.

There were many knights who won in the morning, and there were also many knights who lost.

In the afternoon, more exciting challenges came.

Knights who fail to qualify for the registration can choose their own challenge targets.

As long as they can successfully challenge, they can replace the loser and advance.

This is a good opportunity for many powerful people in the community to make a name for themselves.

They all targeted and challenged those knights who seemed to be not very strong.

People like Arthur Dayne, Rhaegar, and Barristan were never challenged by anyone.

As for Garlon, since he defeated Jon Fossoway, a famous knight in the Reach, not many people challenged him.

Just when Garlon rode around the arena twice and thought that no one would challenge him, Sir Longmos suddenly shouted.

"Edmund Weekley from Candlehole City in the Valley challenges Garon Tass from Duskfall Hall—!"

The audience cheered when they heard Sir Ronmos' announcement. They were happy to see such a challenge.

Upon hearing this, Garlon looked towards the other end of the field, where a red-armored knight, about twenty years old, was galloping out on horseback.

"Valley, Candle Cave City?"

Garen frowned slightly.

Why would the other party challenge him?
Suddenly, a piece of information flashed through Garen's mind.

He remembered that Candle Cave City and Seagull Town had always had a close relationship.

Could it be...

Garen had a vague guess.

It was probably Marko Lagfson, the Lord of Seagull Town, who instigated this person to challenge him.

"Oh, you clown."

Garlon snorted coldly, expressing his disdain for this guy Marco Ragfson.

Not only did he target him, but he also went around in circles and let the knights from Candle Cave City challenge him.

What a dog.

Spectators in the stands.

Lord Jon Arryn frowned.

Because of Robert and Eddard, he had a good impression of Garen.

A few years ago, when he took Robert to Storm's End and helped Robert ascend to the throne of Duke, he met Earl Selwyn and Garen.

At that time, he was deeply impressed by Garlon and felt that Garlon would achieve extraordinary things in the future.

Garlon's performance this morning also impressed him.

But unexpectedly, the first person to challenge Garlon was the knight from their valley.

Jon Arryn glanced at Lord Wakeley of Candlecave, then at Marko Ragfson who was standing beside Lord Wakeley. He said nothing, but a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.

"Knights, greet each other." Sir Longmos said loudly from the referee's stand.

Garlon rode the Thunder Smoke to the center of the venue and exchanged greetings with Edmund Weikli of Candle Cave City.

"Is your challenge voluntary, or is there someone instigating you?"

Garlon looked at Edmund Weakley from two meters away and said calmly.

"Heh." Edmund Weekley's lips curled up slightly. "Guess."

After saying this, Edmund Weekley turned his horse around and galloped to the other end of the arena, preparing for the next duel.

"..."

Garen smiled.

Good guess.

He also turned his horse and went to the other end of the arena.

But at this moment, his eyes were already filled with indifference.

"start!"

As Longmos waved the flag, Garlon and Wei Keli ran towards each other at the same time.

Looking at this scene, the Lord of Seagull Town, Marco Lagfson, curled up the corner of his mouth into a faint smile.

Edmund of the Weikley family is a famous lancer in Candle Cave City, especially skilled in using heavy spears.

This time, the spear he used in the competition was made of a special black ironwood. It was very heavy and was no less powerful than an iron spear.

The little brat from the Itas family is too small to handle it!
"As long as this brat is killed or crippled..."

The curve at the corner of Marko Lagfson's mouth turned cruel and complacent.

He was determined to win Helena.

His heart warmed when he thought of Helena's beautiful face and graceful figure.

"Da da da!"

The sound of heavy horse hooves echoed on the track.

Garlon held his spear high, ready for the coming collision.

However, when the two sides were about 15 meters apart, his eyes suddenly fixed!
Because he discovered that the tip of Edmund Weakley's gun had moved up a few inches.

At this angle, Edmund Weekley's black wooden spear would most likely hit his neck.

Although protected by helmets and neck guards, the neck is still the knights' weakest point in jousting.

Because the neck is relatively fragile, the huge impact force and inertia brought by the high-speed galloping warhorse cannot be withstand by the knight's neck.

If you are hit in the neck, the worst that can happen is a sprained neck or a blank brain.

In severe cases, the cervical vertebrae may be broken, resulting in serious injury or death.

In the original novel, the Mountain used this trick in the tournament and shot and killed Jon Arryn's former squire.

There is no doubt that Edmund Weekley's actions contained sinister intentions.

Garen's gaze grew colder.

"Boom!"

The war horses were close to each other in a flash.

Edmund Weikley's eyes showed cruel coldness, and a smile spread across his lips. He fiercely thrust his black ironwood spear towards Garlon's neck.

A tournament does not allow striking the opponent's head, but it does not prohibit striking the neck.

His move was intended to cripple or kill Garlon!
As long as Garlon is crippled, he will be able to gain the support of Earl Ragfusson and have the opportunity to become the new lord of Candle Cave City!
Edmund Weekley's eyes flashed with passion and ambition.

However, the ambition in his eyes suddenly froze.

Because he was horrified to find that the spear that Garlon was stabbing at was also aimed at his neck!

"this!"

In an instant, Edmund Weekley's heart seemed to stop beating!

At the moment when they crossed each other, he saw Garlon suddenly lean sideways and narrowly avoided his spear!
Edmund Weekley even saw the cold and indifferent blue eyes beneath Garlon's helmet.

"boom!"
