Originally, according to the plan, Arthur planned to launch a charge with twenty sergeants and twenty-one peasant soldiers as the main force.
But Amber reminded that to the north was the territory of the Blackwood family. The relationship between the two families was not good to begin with. If they found out that Arthur and dozens of soldiers were in their territory, there would definitely be trouble in the future.
So Arthur followed Amber's advice and took six of the most powerful men on horseback to intercept the bandits in a roundabout way.
A large army chased behind.
In the afternoon chase, the distance between the two sides gradually narrowed. As long as the bandits were stopped and held back for a while, the infantry units could easily catch up.
After riding their horses and whipping their whips for a while, seven people including Arthur, Yule, and Amber stopped the "bandits" in a beech forest.
On this cloudless afternoon, which is common in the riverlands, the sun shines through the gaps between the beech trees on Arthur and others, while the bandits and the two hostages are in the shadows.
The clear distinction between light and dark creates an excellent confrontation atmosphere.
"Why don't I deserve to be called Arthur?"
Arthur felt confused. Could it be that he had met a fan of the Sword of Fudio?
Duplicate names are nothing, the most common thing in Game of Thrones is duplicate names.
The Starks of the Wolf family had Brandon the "Fort Builder", Brandon the Ship Builder, Brandon the Ship Destroyer, four or five Brandons, etc., and the Targaryen of the Dragon family had five.
Six Aegon.
If there is no title distinction, it will be difficult for viewers and readers to tell who is who.
It was not Arthur's choice to have the same name as Arthur Dayne, the most powerful sword of Fudio in the Game of Thrones.
"You insulted this name!" The middle-aged bandit at the head rode out, "Do you dare to fight me to the death?"
Arthur Yile, "Do you mean a one-on-one duel?"
He was just about to try his fighting prowess.
According to the world view of cavalry and slashing, five attribute points is the level of a normal person, and his current level is 15.
Far beyond the power of ordinary people!
Although the original owner has not experienced much actual combat, he has learned some basic sword skills from the nobles and his physical fitness is not bad.
And he himself also likes fighting very much. After all, the greatest pleasure in playing horse-and-blade is to kill people.
"Of course." The middle-aged bandit got off his horse and patted his horse to let it go further. "Looking at you like this, if you can catch my three swords, I will let you die more happily."
"It's hard to say who can catch who's three swords. Then..."
Just when Arthur was about to agree, Amber in gray robe suddenly said:
"No sir, you are too thin. There is no way you can defeat this bandit. If there is a duel, I will do it."
Although Arthur is tall, he is indeed thin.
Yule, who had been silent all this time, also said: "I'll do it. My nephew, you are really a bit weak and you don't look like you can do it."
Yuler has been wandering around the continent of Essos and Westeros for many years, relying on being a mercenary, and even spent some time in the famous mercenary group Second Sons.
Although he is a bit of a mixed bag, he still has some abilities.
"How do you know if I can beat you if you don't try?" Arthur dismounted.
He was still confident that he could defeat this bandit.
Seeing that Arthur wanted to be a hero, Amber hurriedly dismounted and stopped in front of the lord, "No, I have to be the one to do whatever you say."
The middle-aged bandit laughed when he saw this, and said passionately: "You are not afraid and just ask your servant to play a double act!"
"How could I be afraid of a nobody like you?" Arthur responded to the middle-aged bandit, and then pushed Amber away, "Don't worry, I'm not that weak. You'll be waiting on the side."
After speaking, he drew out the two-handed sword inherited from the Bracken family and strode forward.
When Amber saw this, he also drew his sword, ready to rush to the rescue at any time.
Yule had a unpleasant quarrel with Arthur in the morning, and had just been rejected again. Seeing that his nephew was trying to show off, he ignored it and prepared to watch the show.
He even secretly hoped that the bandit would kill his nephew, so that he could legitimately inherit the family business.
After seeing the two people in the field drawing swords and facing each other, Yule snorted coldly and said to Amber:
"I bet a silver deer that Arthur can't last three rounds."
Amber turned back and glared at Yule, ignored him, and turned back to stare at the battle situation carefully.
However, a soldier named Piper next to him replied: "I bet you can survive three rounds, at least for more than five rounds."
If someone opens the market, someone will naturally follow.
The other two soldiers thought that the lord could survive three rounds, but he could not survive five rounds, and each bet a silver deer.
The remaining two soldiers supported Yule's point of view, but did not place a bet.
In other words, none of the six people on Arthur's side expected him to win.
Obviously, the "bandits" opposite thought so too.
And from the moment Arthur left the field, he didn't pay attention to the small actions of the people around him.
"Young Master Bracken, you are holding the sword with one hand. Could it be that you cannot swing the big sword?" Roger said in a strange tone.
From the moment Arthur dismounted from his horse to walking up to him to confront him, he had already determined that his opponent had basically no actual combat experience.
Because Arthur always faces him head-on, which is a taboo in fighting.
Even the most inexperienced fighter knows that when one-on-one, one should face the enemy sideways to reduce the chance of being hit.
He was determined and determined to show off in front of Brynden.
"Hey, cousin, do you think this Master Arthur has been weaned?" Roger asked behind him.
Brynden laughed and said, "I don't think so. I've probably never even held a sword."
"Needless to say, I'm sure this is his first actual combat." Roger pointed his sword at Arthur, who was standing upright, and tilted his head to point at Brynden.
"His stance is wrong. He should bend his body slightly before fighting to use force."
Brynden nodded, convinced.
"Then when holding the sword, you should keep the sword in front of your chest, so that you can block, but also quickly perform offensive actions such as chopping, stabbing, and slashing."
Roger continued to comment and walked back and forth in front of Arthur as if he were facing a scarecrow who would not fight back.
Brynden observed the behavior of the two people, then took his distant cousin's words to heart, and raised his evaluation a little higher.
This is all practical experience.
Arthur was happy. Before he could win, the bandits on the opposite side had already ignored him.
He raised his sword and prepared to attack.
"This starting position is absolutely useless. There are flaws in the chest."
Roger commented again, but he didn't have any offensive flaws. I guess it was out of disdain.
Of course, he didn't dodge.
And Brynden recognized Roger even more, because he also saw that Arthur's actions were extremely amateurish.
One of them rushed forward with his sword in hand, while the other commented indifferently, and the battle began.
Jule, who was on the sidelines, thought that Arthur's defeat was certain and began to observe the bandits on the opposite side.
He noticed that another bandit on horseback had also followed suit and organized a gambling game for the middle-aged bandit, but none of the bandits on horseback responded.
Moreover, the dozen or so bandits were all standing in a neat manner, and they did not look like normal bandits at all.
Strange! Are these bandits so well disciplined? Yule was confused.
He habitually glanced at the collar of the young bandit riding opposite, and immediately noticed a clue.
What was vaguely revealed was the image of Crowtree City with crows surrounding a weirwood tree.
A member of the Blackwood family! Yule reacted immediately.
Years of mercenary experience made him realize that the people facing him were not bandits, but warriors from a rival family.
This is a conspiracy!
Although I don’t know what the opponent’s backhand is, the danger is not far away.
Yu Le quietly reined in his horse and prepared to run away.
