The king on the Great Wall

Taking orders from that fellow Mormont again to overwhelm people?Iger's move, even the savages have learned it!

Val didn't care about Carter's and Eon's gnashing of teeth, she continued to speak on her own: "As for adults calling me a 'cousin'... sorry, I really don't know where to start. In the past 20 years, I have Living in a free village far away from the Great Wall, he has nothing to do with the defenders of the Great Wall. Since he moved into the Great Wall, he has stayed in the tower and never went out—he obviously never slept with any man on the south side of the Great Wall, you Why is it such a crude insult to open your mouth? Guess what I'm thinking at the moment? You're more of a savage than I am."

This sharp-toothed wild woman!

If it weren't for the completely different appearance and voice, Jon would almost suspect that Val in front of him was Egg in disguise.He stared sullenly at the rather beautiful woman in front of him, who seemed to be a good match for James, and considered the words to counterattack... But the rest of the Castle Black officers obviously did not intend to let this farce continue.

"Enough!" The chief ranger roared angrily: "James Lannister, immediately have your men move the luggage of Mance Rayder and his family back to Harding Tower, Lord Carter... please also send Take your people out of the yard and let this farce stop!"

"I'm not finished yet!" Val cried, his shrill female voice more penetrating than Sir Jeremy Lake's deep male voice: "I know the Night's Watch is running for Commander-in-Chief, but I don't know, I don't want to understand the grievances and differences of ideas between you—but I understand a truth: if something happens to my brother-in-law, the night watchman will definitely not be able to easily appease all the free folk who surrendered, and the land grant will be in chaos! Clearly, someone is going to take advantage of this!"

She stretched out her hand to draw an arc, and pointed her slender fingers unceremoniously at the night watchmen at Donghaiwatch: "A while ago, there were unidentified people sneakingly watching our family outside the window, but now, I know it is Whoever is planning to harm us—whoever stops us from moving is determined to be a murderer!"

The night watchmen onlookers were in an uproar, and immediately whispered to each other, discussing at one go.

The chief ranger, Jeremy Lake, frowned, and turned to look at the chief affairs officer, Bowen Marsh: "You manage the most people in Castle Black, have you heard about it?"

***

Bowen's face was not very good-looking. Of course he heard it, and he heard it from the two direct planners, Carter and Jon... These two people came to the door a few days ago to try to persuade him to participate.

This is a deviant and disgusting plan. When he first heard about it, he almost refused without hesitation—but in the end, his hatred for the wildlings overwhelmed his disgust for this evil plan, and he finally decided: neither participate nor tear down .

If it can’t be done, it proves that Carter’s ability is insufficient; but if he can do it... Iger is hopeless, and Carter will be busy getting rid of his guilt... He will command the night watchman to suppress the rebellion of the wildlings. Get back on track and make your own mark in the history of the Night's Watch.

Everyone will have their own little thoughts, but now that the matter has been exposed by Val in such a public way, even if Bowen knows it and has a clear plan, it is impossible for him to admit it.

He shook his head without changing his expression: "I haven't heard of it, but it can't be ruled out that Carter and Jon really have this idea... We should increase the number of guards in Harding Tower to prevent some brothers from acting on impulse."

The chief affairs officer has always been known for his loyalty and integrity among the night watchmen. Jeremy did not doubt his statement at all, nodded and turned his face away: "Miss Val, your worries are not unreasonable, we will send more reliable night watchmen Brother Man protects you and your family... Now, please do me a favor and convince your friend Jaime to lay down his arms and go back to Harding's Tower!"

"You are a good man, I respect you, Sir Lake!" Val was unmoved at all, "But people with evil intentions will not give up their plots just because I expose them in public, and I will not make fun of my life... Who Knowing that the person who rushed up to Harding Tower to rape me and even stabbed a knife into my heart might be the person sent by the night watchman to protect me!"

This was a bit too much, and many night watchmen felt insulted, and they muttered dissatisfiedly and even molested and insulted the "wild princess" who spoke.

During the quarrel, the lord James once again expressed his attitude: "Today, the family of the King Beyond the Wall must be transferred to Houguan Town. There is no room for negotiation. Anyone who wants to stop it must step over my corpse!"

"What a big tone!" Originally, Carter Parker, who was persuaded by someone to fight, had no intention of making a real move, but he could no longer suppress his anger after hearing the words: "Then let me see what the 'King Slayer' is capable of." !"

The speed of the change of the situation was so fast that no one could have expected it. Amidst the applause from the onlookers watching the show, the frightened and angry dissuasion of the chief ranger and craftsman, and Val's screams of surprise , the commander of Eastwatch rushed to Jaime Lannister, brandishing his battle axe.

Chapter 293

Carter Pike lunged at the Kingslayer, raised his right arm high--slashed down from top to bottom.Accompanied by a powerful, uncontrollable growl, it looks like a tiger coming out of the mountain.

This is a no-frills move, but in the not-so-short career of the caster as a night watchman, at least three novice wildling raiders were so frightened by this imposing ax that even the second ax could not If you have to describe its characteristics, it is powerful, fast, fierce and scary!

……

The quarrel took a while, but the fight started so suddenly, but this was not the longest foreplay that James had ever experienced. He was always vigilant, and he was not caught off guard, but turned around deftly at the first time, Raising the sword, he gently pushed aside the battle axe, so that Carter's first blow was close to his body a few centimeters away, and it was not until the ax was exhausted that Val's first scream was over.

Only the dullest of opponents would be dealt with by this axe, and Carter hadn't expected the famous kingslayer to be as stupid as the worst wildling.But - he is dual-wielding, the attack of his right hand is blocked, and there is still his left hand!

The muscles of the chest, back, shoulders, arms, palms, and even fingers of the left half of the body were fully charged in an instant, and tensed in the next second, they swung out the threatening second axe.But at the same time, James' counterattack also arrived.

The flashing steel sword was handed to Carter in an instant. While turning around, he raised his head slightly to avoid it, and at the same time withdrew his right hand, which couldn't be hit in one blow. He raised the battle ax to his chest to block James' steel sword. Any possible pursuit action.

(Wonderful!)

Carter shouted in his heart, in this way, he can use his right hand to complete the defense, while his left hand still launches the blow that was originally planned. Unless James strode out of the attack range of his axe, he will definitely suffer from this combo. Big loss!

And as long as the kingslayer retreats, he will be greeted by a stormy pursuit!

But the combo went wrong in the next second, because James' steel sword did not pursue recklessly as Carter expected, but feinted for a feint, and quickly retracted and erected by his side, just in time to get stuck in an extremely disgusting Position: The steel sword is much longer than the short axe. If Carter swings the ax in his left hand willfully, the ax blade will not be able to hit the opponent, but the arm will definitely be sent to James's sword first. "An arm.

(Damn it! Is he a blind cat meeting a dead mouse, or did he find the right way to break the move in an instant?)

Carter cursed secretly, and before he had time to think about this issue, he had no choice but to withdraw halfway, and forcibly pulled back the second ax that had already been swung.

Sudden withdrawal of force is the most taboo when exerting force. The nausea of ​​being interrupted by this withdrawal move is not a big problem. The worst thing is that the force that has been exerted will not disappear out of thin air—it needs to use new strength to reverse and eliminate the body Inertia, and then you can do other actions!

The old fighters suddenly fell into a short period of fatigue where "the old power has faded and the new power has not yet emerged".

This small flaw is completely negligible when fighting wildlings, but in the eyes of martial arts masters like Jaime Lannister, it is as conspicuous as an open door.

The kingslayer's steel sword switched from the "blocking" state to "attacking" at a dizzying speed, flipped up and down to bring out a small sword flower, and the fierce slash that was exactly the same as his previous first move took shape and fell from the sky in the blink of an eye. Fall to your own face!

Compared with the battle ax, the steel sword looks so slender and light, but it brings a sense of power that is not inferior!

(good guy!)

The competition in moves has not yet been decided, but only in terms of strength, this pampered Lannister is not inferior to himself!

Carter's hairs stood on end, and before the feeling of backlash from being interrupted by the first move completely dissipated, he quickly raised the double axes to cross with his best efforts, and firmly blocked Jaime Lannister's steel sword with a "clang" .

The tiger's mouth is slightly numb, this kingslayer really has some abilities!

……

Generally speaking, at the end of a round of fighting, the weapons of the two sides are put together, and no one touches the body of the other, then either press down on the opponent desperately to decide the winner in terms of weight and strength, or consciously separate and retreat from each other. Looking for a gap to brew the next move.Their eyes met, and James smiled and stepped forward with his left leg.

(Do you need to work hard? Although I am old, I have never been afraid of anyone!)

Carter's eyes widened, his back straightened, and he pushed forward like a bull.

But in the next moment, James made an unimaginable action: raised his right leg, and kicked Carter hard in the stomach.

Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, Carter, who was pushing forward, seemed to be sending his body to the opponent's feet to be kicked.

"Puff-"

"Well!"

Hit in the abdomen, all the strength gathered in preparation for wrestling was instantly disintegrated. The veteran staggered back with a muffled groan, and almost lost his grip on the tomahawk.

"Oh~~~" The night watchmen onlookers shouted and booed neatly in excitement or mockery, while the East Watch soldiers behind Carter Pike subconsciously took a few steps, ready to respond to the commander.

But James did not take advantage of the situation to pursue, and Carter stabilized his figure after taking a few steps back.The veterans clutched their stomachs and looked at each other as if they had seen a ghost.

(How did this guy do it?)

In the eyes of the ordinary soldiers onlookers, Carter and James just fought together in an ordinary way, and when they were separated, they were kicked by the opportunity and suffered a small loss. A kick?James...is he able to kick someone while wielding a sword?

***

Lifting the leg and kicking forward, what's so difficult about these two movements?But things are not that simple. Anyone who has received combat training knows how important it is to keep the lower body stable when wielding a weapon. It is often heavier than a human arm. When the center of gravity has moved much higher than the natural state, the whole body has to move continuously, make various offensive and defensive actions that will cause balance pressure, and apply or bear external forces. What happens when one of the two fulcrums is suddenly taken away to do other things?

lost balance.

Either fall, or use other parts of the body, such as the arms, to make compensatory movements to continue maintaining balance.

No one has stipulated that the feet are not allowed in armed combat, but they have always only attacked the opponent's lower body, and rarely used the lower body to attack other people's upper body-there is no other reason, it is too difficult to do, and usually the gains outweigh the losses.

Carter imagined a scene where he kicked someone while swinging a double axe, and finally had to admit helplessly: he couldn't do it.

This kick reflects James' understanding of his body, mastery of balance, choice of offensive and defensive moves, and timing... In a word, this guy's genius level in combat is already high. Unbelievable extent!

Looking at it now, James' subconsciously brilliant move a moment ago is probably not accidental!

***

The pain from the stomach gradually faded away, and despite the thick warm clothes and a layer of hard leather, that kick did not make Carter lose his combat effectiveness... This round of competition is a long story, but it actually happened in the blink of an eye. Just a few seconds.But the huge amount of information revealed within a few seconds is enough for those who understand it to savor it.

The chief ranger was one of those who understood. James' kick was so unexpected and handsome that he was stunned...and missed the best time to stop this farce of the battle.

"Miss Val, can you do me a favor?" James didn't pursue the victory, and even started talking to the woman behind him.

"Ah, what?"

"One, stand back a little, standing too close will affect my performance; two, please stop screaming, it's really noisy."

James was seriously making demands with the blond woman, but it's a pity that he said it at the wrong time. He was fighting with others and hooking up with girls at the same time?In the eyes of outsiders, it is a contempt and provocation to the oath of the night watchman and the opponent, the red fruit.Amidst the booing of the onlookers, several officers who were capable of stopping the continuation of the farce were stunned for a moment, and the enraged Carter Pike took a breath and rushed towards James again.

"Roar!"

He rotated his body, swinging the twin axes with centrifugal force, one forward and one backward, one up and one down, and slashed towards James' shoulders and waist from the same direction. Such an attack would expose his side and back, but The advantage is that the power is greater than before, and it is more overwhelming... If the opponent wants to catch his own flaws, even if he succeeds, he will not be able to avoid the roaring ax blade, even if he can block or push one of them away, it will never be too late Against another.

Wounds for injuries, didn't the Lannister family always claim to be superior to others, so I asked you if you dare to trade your life with an old man like me?

The whirlwind attack worked, and James finally took a step back helplessly. The two axes flew past him with the sound of the wind, but they didn't stop - Carter Pike spun around and continued to swing with inertia The ax is still approaching him!

Just like that, Carter Pike frantically swung his ax forward, forcing James to take two steps back with every turn... What the latter said just now became a show, and Val stepped back, but still screamed out nervously. sound.

The soldiers onlookers roared excitedly. Carter Pike's frantic onslaught was undoubtedly very exciting in the eyes of ordinary people. They shouted excitedly, looking forward to James' counterattack.

James didn't make the audience wait too long. Although Carter Pike's spinning blade dance was full of threats, it was extremely energy-intensive. The most important thing was - spinning like this would make you dizzy!

James took a step back, and another, and another.When he retreated to the fourth step, he slammed on the ground, and the fighting instinct flowing in his veins, which he had trained hard for many years, was awakened in an instant. He completed the twist from retreating to forward in the blink of an eye. During the interval between a round of fierce slashing—take three quick steps.

quick!stable!allow!As if he had stepped out thousands of times, he left a whitish mark on the frozen ground. One moment he was two meters away, but the next moment he rushed into Carter's arms like an arrow.

"Bang!", relying on the collision of his body to instantly stop the opponent's forward momentum, at the same time he raised his arm, and firmly blocked all possible attack paths of the opponent's short ax with the wide spine of the steel sword near the hilt. Face to face with almost zero distance, before the old soldier could react, he raised his hand and slapped him.

The onlookers booed loudly, while the Westlanders applauded the wonderful performance of their own officials.

This slap is not as inconceivable as the previous kick. In swordsmanship skills, one-handed swordsmen originally need to learn "use the non-armed hand to assist combat movements", and this includes grasping the gap to attack the opponent. This aspect... everyone understands the truth, but under such a gust of wind attack, it is almost the first time for the night watchmen present to observe this high-level combat skill while reversing offense and defense in an instant.

For the Great Wall whose biggest enemy was the savages in the past, this kind of skill is too "advanced" and has no place to play. Naturally, no one bothered to learn it.

……

James didn't wear iron gloves, let alone knuckles or similar cruel gadgets. Carter is thankful, but a strong and famous fighter like the Kingslayer slapped him with [-]% strength and mercilessly. What would it feel like to be fanned against an unprotected front door?

The commander of Donghaiwatch felt it this time. His eyes were staring, his brain seemed to be shaken into a mess, and he only tried to push away the opponent under the action of instinct, and slashed wildly with his double axes to prevent the opponent from chasing him. He stumbled and retreated to his back, where was the brave appearance he had just rushed up?

In less than a minute, Carter Pike charged at James twice, was kicked back once, and was slapped back once... Now, even the most layman onlookers can tell the difference Now: the Commander of Eastwatch, the most outstanding warrior in the entire Night Watch, is not the Kingslayer's all-in-one enemy!The gap in strength between the two sides was so large that factors such as "luck" or "play" could not come into play at all. After trying 1 times, Carter had no chance of defeating James.

That kind of flickering, you come and I go back and forth exciting fierce battle... It is destined not to be seen today.

As the former Earl of Runestone City, a powerful nobleman with less than one person and more than ten thousand people in the valley, Eoin Royce certainly wouldn't lose sight of this: if you fought to the death, Carter Pike would have died twice.This damn kingslayer is so strong!

He winked at the subordinates beside him, and two night watchmen from Eastwatch rushed out, dragging the completely dazed commander back into the crowd without hesitation, lest he would be teased again when he attacked for the third time.

"Lord Carter's attempt to step over my corpse seems to have failed." James still didn't pursue, but lowered his steel sword and pointed at the ground, looking around the yard leisurely: "Anyone else want to try?"

Few people in Castle Black, along the Great Wall, or even in the entire Northern Territory are opponents of this guy.Jon looked at Carter Pike, who was bruised and swollen, with dull eyes and silent eyes, and realized that he couldn't rely on anyone at the moment, so he turned his head to look at the senior officials of Castle Black: "My lords, this is a rebellion! If he is allowed to successfully take away the family of the King Beyond the Wall today, the Night Watch Corps will no longer be as disciplined as before!"

"Whether it's a traitor or not, it doesn't matter if you say it!" Val argued sharply, "Forcing us to stay and being hurt by people with evil intentions, which will cause conflicts between the new grantees and the night watchmen, and destroy the good structure of the Great Wall defense , giving the other ghosts the opportunity to enter and exterminate the human race... that is an irreparable heinous crime!"

……

Jeremy Lake clenched his fists and stared at James angrily and helplessly.He could see that this kingslayer made up his mind today that he would not obey the orders of his chief ranger...but what could he do, order his brothers to take down this troublemaker?

It would be so much easier if Jaime wasn't in black, but he's a Night's Watch as hell!

The new commander-in-chief has not yet been elected, and it stands to reason that the chiefs of each department manage all their subordinates.This means that theoretically, together with the chief affairs officer and the craftsman, he can command everyone in the entire Castle Black except the logistics department—that is, Iger West.

But that's just a theory. Unlike his predecessor, Benyan Stark, he has limited prestige among the night watchmen... If the ghosts or the dead invade, the soldiers will obey orders and go to defense, but they are required to take up arms against him. Maybe James and his gang, who are also night watchmen, are also fully armed and well-trained?How many people can respond to the order, and how many casualties will it take to really take down less than 50 people?

Even if it can be won, what will the outside world think of the Great Wall defenders if the news of the night watchman's internal strife spreads?

I will definitely be slapped in the face today, since the result cannot be changed, then choose the option with less consequences.

"James, today, what do you mean to send Mance Rayder's family to Houguan Town?"

"no sooner said than done."

"You have to make sure that they reach Houcrown Town and hand them over to the logistics department. If something happens or escapes halfway, I will take you as a problem. In addition, after you run this trip, you have to return to Castle Black and accept for your unauthorized actions." Punishment and punishment!"

James has always been grumpy, but he wasn't so brainless that he would be angry with anyone he saw. Now that the chief ranger had let go, he didn't mind giving the other side a little bit of a slap in the face: "Your order, my lord."

As an officer, it is really a great shame to submit to his subordinates.But what else?If you want to blame, blame the night watchman for being weak for too long, the rangers who are the main combat force, even the 50 people randomly brought out by the Lannister family are difficult to deal with.

The group of old, weak, sick and disabled people in Castle Black couldn't do anything to the people from the west, but the hundreds of northern elites brought by Robb Stark and several other nobles were not vegetarians.Jeremy Lake has made up his mind: after today's work, he will send someone to hurry up and send the news to Robb who is going to the Long Night Fort, telling him that his former enemy, the Kingslayer, has come to the Great Wall in black Also playing Intuit majestic.

The night watchmen can't cure him, so someone will cure him.

The chief affairs officer and the craftsman were obviously also aware of the fighting power of the night watchmen in Castle Black. After some private communication, they did not speak out against the decision of the chief ranger.

……

What do you mean, this is to let people go?The conversation between Jeremy and James caught my ears, and Jon Royce couldn't understand it. Frightened and angry came to my heart instantly: If you let the Kingslayer and Mance Rayder's family go today, you will There is no way to overthrow Iger and prevent this shameless person who killed one of his sons from ascending to the position of commander-in-chief of the Night Watch!

"Don't even think about it!" He drew out his steel sword with a clang—of course, he wasn't going to fight James one-on-one: "Compromise will destroy the Night's Watch Legion! Soldiers, take up arms! Today, no one wants to leave Castle Black! "

Dozens of followers drew out their weapons in response, and the people in the western region retaliated unceremoniously. A clear and neat sound of swords being unsheathed resounded in the courtyard of Castle Black, while more night watchmen onlookers stood up in unison. He took a few steps back, for fear of being hurt by the melee.

This conflict is about to escalate, and this is the last resort of Jon Royce - the officers of Castle Black do not want the night watchmen to fight among themselves, and what he wants to do is to force them to fight on both sides. Choose between!
