With a reputation of 70,000, one leader travels across countless worlds with his adventure team.

A day later, the tournament officially began. King Robert and lords from all over the land took their seats. Bai Ze also sat not far from King Robert and Ned, ready to watch this elite battle.

"Ding! A time-limited mission has been issued. Please check it, host."

"Huh?...Huh? What?" Bai Ze was startled by the system task notification before he even got comfortable sitting down. He quickly composed himself and silently reviewed the time-limited task in his mind.

Mission: The martial arts tournament has gathered most of the continent's most skilled warriors and swordsmen. Achieve a winning streak among the final victors and spread your fame throughout the continent.

Quest Rewards: Host's Westeros Reputation Bonus: +100 reputation for each tournament winner defeated; 10 random jewelry jars.

Wow~ There's such a good thing! It seems that Bai Ze, who originally didn't want to participate in the conference, will have to work hard again.

Bai Ze turned to look at Stannis, who was in charge of this conference, and asked:

"Lord Stannis, may I participate in this tournament?"

Stannis turned and looked at me, saying with interest:

"Oh! Lord Bai Ze is also interested in a duel? But you provided all the equipment to be awarded, so what are you going to do there?"

"Of course, it's about sparring with the masters on the mainland! That's what I did in Winterfell. I often held martial arts competitions in my tavern, and that's how I gave away several precious swords from the North!"

"Just consider it as letting me have some fun with these experts, okay?" Bai Ze explained his intentions to Stannis.

"Of course! I don't think anyone could refuse a duel with the 'White Walker Terminator,' who emerged victorious from the war against the White Walkers!"

Stannis chuckled, but before he could finish speaking, he suddenly remembered his daughter Celine's request and quickly asked:

"Does Lord Bai Ze need any attendants or maids? Ever since my daughter was saved and cured of her gray scale disease by you last time, she has decided that she wants to serve you. I wonder what you think of this, and whether you would agree to my daughter's request?"

"Oh! Celine has such an idea?"

Bai Ze stroked his chin and thought, since the lovely Celine wanted to serve him, and there was no one else to help at home besides Xiao Meng, it was a good time to take Celine in!

"Okay, I agree. How can I refuse a young girl's brave request!"

Stannis was also very happy to hear what I said. Being able to connect with me again was a great option!

He smiled at Bai Ze and said, "Alright, after we get back I'll have someone take Celine to your place. Please take good care of my daughter from now on, sir!"

"Of course! Of course~" Bai Ze replied with a smile.

While we were talking, King Robert had already announced the start of the tournament. This time there would be no lance charge, as that kind of foolish rush was not suitable for fighting the White Walkers beyond the Wall. There were only three main events this time: swordsmanship, spearmanship, and archery. The participants found their respective spots and prepared to go on stage.

The first competition was a swordsmanship contest. Several hundred people participated in the competition, which was divided into five venues where they fought in pairs simultaneously. The remaining 50 people were considered winners and would receive a reward from the king. Bai Ze's ultimate goal was to compete against these winners.

Bai Ze watched as a bunch of level 20+ people fought back and forth on the field. The only ones who could pique my interest now were those above level 25. A tall warrior wearing full golden armor that covered his face defeated his opponent. The level 25 mark above her head caught my attention. It seems that there is only one person in Westeros who is skilled, tall, and wears golden armor!

Brienne, formerly a subordinate of Renly of House Baratheon! I never expected her to be alive. Bai Ze had wanted to look for her before, but Renly and the Baratheon army were attacked by Cersei outside King's Landing. Bai Ze thought she was dead and stopped searching. I was so glad she was still alive!

This kind-hearted, loyal, and strong-willed "beauty" is a rare gem in the original drama, and Bai Ze is determined to have her!

Bai Ze turned and pointed at Brienne, the "beauty," and said to Stannis:

"I have high hopes for him. After this match, let him come forward and see whose samurai or knight he is. I want to take him on!"

Stannis looked at me and said, "To be chosen by Lord Bai Ze, one must be an exceptionally skilled person!"

He turned to the guard standing beside him and said, "After that big guy in yellow armor finishes his fight, call him over. Lord Bai Ze of the Western Region is very interested in him and wants to get to know him!"

The guards nodded and bowed as they walked toward the arena where Brienne had fought.

While Bai Ze and Stannis were talking, Brienne had already defeated her opponent with several powerful attacks. At this moment, a guard stepped forward and said to her:

"This victorious knight, Lord Bai Ze of the Western Frontier wishes to speak with you!"

Brienne turned to look in the direction of Bai Ze and Stannis. When Bai Ze saw Brienne looking in his direction, he raised his right hand and waved to her.

Brienne sheathed her weapon and approached Bai Ze and Stannis. She knelt on one knee, leaning on her sword as she bowed to us, "Lord Bai Ze! Lord Stannis!"

Bai Ze asked, "Are you a knight from which kingdom?"

Brienne looked up at me, then turned to Stannis and said, “My lord, I come from Twilight Hall on the Isle of Tars in the Stormlands. I am the daughter of Earl Selwyn, the ‘Star of Twilight,’ and my name is Brienne.”

Stannis, with a bewildered expression, said, "Daughter of Earl Selwyn, 'Twilight Star' of Tass! You're a woman? Take off your helmet and reveal your true face!"

To Stannis's surprise, this was actually the daughter of one of his vassals, and she had come to participate in the tournament!

Brienne put down her sword, took off her helmet, and revealed her short blond hair, large blue eyes, and innocent, straightforward face to Stannis and me. Stannis gave Brienne a strange look, then looked at me, raised an eyebrow, and gestured, "A woman! Do you still want her?"

Bai Ze was secretly overjoyed. Stannis was a serious and earnest person, and a bit harsh when it came to family and women. Seeing a female knight was a bit hard for him to accept.

"What a coincidence! Lord Stannis, since she's your woman, name your price. I want her. It just so happens that Xiaomeng and Celine are short one guard, and she's perfect for that!" Bai Ze found an excuse to ask Stannis.

Stannis thought about it and agreed. He decided to give her to his daughter as a bodyguard. Lord Bai Ze didn't seem like the type to let his daughter do dirty work every day. It would be good to have Celine accompany Lord Bai Ze's women and have Brienne follow them.

Stannis thought for a moment, really wanting to get a few Kiss of Light from Bai Ze (you know, that name sounds better than Remy's Kiss!), but considering that he probably couldn't store such a divine object himself, he said:

"Lord Bai Ze, could you give me a few bottles of the life-saving potion that healed Lan Li? That kind of life-saving potion would be very useful if I were injured in the future!"

“That’s easy. I’ll have Tyrion send them to you when we get back. There are 20 bottles in a box, and I’ll give you 5 boxes!”

Life potions are practically free for Bai Ze; being able to exchange them for the "beauty" Brienne is a huge win!

Stannis nodded excitedly and said:

"Then it's settled!"

Stannis felt quite uncomfortable looking at Brienne, who was tall and had a resolute face.

“Brennie, in the name of the guardian of the Storm Kingdom, I command you to pledge allegiance to Duke Bai Ze, the guardian of the West. From now on, you will be his sword and his shield, and he will guide you in the right direction.”

After hearing Stannis's words, Brienne turned towards Bai Ze from her kneeling position and said:

“By the command of my lord, I, Brienne, daughter of Earl Selwyn of Twilight Star on the Isle of Storms, hereby swear allegiance to Duke White Ze, Guardian of the West. I am your sword and your steadfast shield!”

Bai Ze looked at Brienne, who had finished taking the oath, and nodded, saying:

“Very good. The Westerlands are sparsely populated now. Once everything in the Westerlands is settled, I can find you a fiefdom to protect my family, Lady White Dream and Lord Stannis’s daughter Celine. They are very important family members to me!”

"I will obey your orders! I will carry out your commands!"

Brienne picked up her sword and stood up. Bai Ze called Tyrion over and told him to take Brienne to bathe and change her clothes, and then, like Bronn, give her a new sword and a new set of armor.

The duels did not stop with Brienne's departure; the competition for the top 50 continued, with some swordsmen and knights from various families starting to fight desperately.

Because they know that the later they win, the lower their chances of making it into the top 50. They might have to play several more rounds to win. Everyone knows that the more rounds you play, the more uncertainties there are. If they make a mistake in one area, all their previous efforts could be wasted.

Robert thoroughly enjoyed the tournament, as masters from all over the country displayed their true skills. As the number of injured began to rise, Robert worried that too many injuries would weaken his own side, so he ordered his men to focus on defeating the wounded.

After a full day of competition, the staff began to announce the top 50 finishers and then announced the spear fighting competition for tomorrow and the archery competition for the day after.

Those who participated in the swordsmanship competition today, regardless of their wins or losses, can continue to participate in the competitions of the next two days. After all the rankings are announced, the great King Robert will select those who have achieved good results in all three competitions and have the best results to confer upon them the title of new knights or knights, and bestow upon them precious weapons and armor sets. Those who rank in the top 50 in each event will be given weapons!

The good news from the event organizers once again cheered everyone present. Those who weren't good at swordsmanship could still participate in the other two events. Those who were confident in their spear or archery skills felt they still had a chance. As for those who had already made it into the top 50 in swordsmanship, they were already considering whether they could win two more matches and obtain the precious armor if they could get the weapon.

紧张刺激的比赛很快打完，最后一共能获得赏赐的人数有180多人，有42人是三项全都参加而且拿到2场前50的以上名次的，三项全都在前50名以前的有22人。

Then it was Bai Ze's turn to appear. Bai Ze walked to the center of the arena with his sword in hand. Stannis, standing in the stands, announced that Lord Bai Ze of the West was willing to have a wonderful duel with the victorious swordsmen and knights present, and asked the winners to prepare for the match.

Bai Ze, carrying his sword, walked to the center of the arena and looked at the crowd of winners who had already secured their places, saying:

"Has a small victory made you forget that we are dealing with the White Walkers? Come on! Let me test your skills. If you can't last 10 moves under my sword, don't go to the Wall and embarrass yourselves. You should know that the White Walkers won't give you another chance to practice!"

Bai Ze's arrogant words provoked a large portion of the winners, and several hot-tempered individuals directly questioned Bai Ze:

"Lord Bai Ze, how are we supposed to fight you? Are we just going to swarm you?"

Bai Ze smiled and said, "That definitely won't work. I would be swarmed and stabbed to death by you all, but the White Walkers won't. The more people get close to them, the more they will benefit."

Don't forget, the White Walkers themselves are weapons. If you accidentally touch one, you'll be frozen solid!

Come on! Ten people, ten people at a time. There's plenty of space, and you can move around freely.

The victors arranged their numbers, and the first group of 10 people entered. Bai Ze was astonished to spot Oberyn Martell, the Prince of Dorne, in the middle of the crowd. Bai Ze smiled and said:
