On the morning of the next day, Arthur said goodbye to the team going north at the Gate of the Gods in King's Landing.
Ninety-seven free mercenaries, accountant girl Hailey, and a convoy transporting two hundred sets of ironclads formed the main force of the team. Desmond, the coach of Riverrun, was responsible for leading them to the Moulin Rouge.
The letter to Steward Amber was also handed over to Desmond. Amber will arrange for these arrivals when the time comes.
The giant horse Red Rabbit was taken away by the team going north. Its speed was too slow and it was not suitable for going south.
The giant hammer was also brought north. When Tob made Arthur's plate armor, he thought that the giant hammer was for decoration at home, so he did not install fixed points on the plate armor.
The golden Guandao has a fixed point on the back.
So if Arthur goes south with a giant hammer, he will have to hold the giant hammer in his hand all the way. Not to mention whether Lu, who is riding on the horse, can't bear it, even Arthur himself will feel tired.
Patrick's father, Lord Jason Mallister, was also on the team. He had arrived in King's Landing before the tourney and participated in the lance competition, but was eliminated on the first day.
Arthur was very relieved to have an earl-level noble like him traveling with him, taking a safe road like King's Road, and having nearly a hundred mercenaries.
I guess no one without eyes would have any idea about this team.
The composition of the team going south was much more complicated.
There are more than 20 followers of the two brothers Horace and Hopper, Angai and thirteen Dornish spearmen, a blood troupe of more than 100 people, as well as Arthur and four followers riding "The Lu".
Letters from the Knight of Flowers have also been written. One letter was carried by Arthur, and several others were sent to the High Court of the Rose Family's castle by the messenger crow.
Arthur won two champions and 60,000 golden dragons at the tournament in King's Landing. He built plate armor, a giant hammer, a sword, and two hundred sets of iron armor. He spent more than a week in King's Landing and paid a deposit for hired mercenaries.
It cost more than three thousand gold dragons to get up.
Since he had brought more than two thousand with him when he came, he still had more than fifty-nine thousand golden dragons on hand.
After leaving 58,000 golden dragons for Loras in King's Landing, Arthur set out with more than 1,600 golden dragons.
They first crossed the Blackwater River, reached the south bank, and then headed south along Rose Avenue.
The Kingswood, the second largest primeval forest in Westeros, is the first challenge that the team heading south needs to face.
Although there are some small hotels along the Rose Avenue through the Royal Forest, they are far apart, so they need to bring enough food and water.
Fortunately, there are 244 horses in the team and only 153 people, so there is no need to worry about transportation capacity.
The problem of food and water was solved in a small town entering the Royal Forest.
At Arthur's insistence, the group set off without resting in the town.
This made some veterans of the Blood Troupe complain, but for the sake of Arthur's golden sword, they accepted the employer's order obediently.
…
The third day after entering the imperial forest.
"Take a rest, Lord Arthur." Horace suggested.
He really couldn't take it anymore.
"That's right, we walked out of the royal forest in less than half a day's journey. Let everyone rest for a while, fill their stomachs, drink water, and then we can walk out in one breath." An Gai said.
Arthur turned around and saw that most of the people in the team had ugly faces, waiting to take a break.
From King's Landing to the small town outside the forest, the horses galloped wildly for most of the day, and during the three days of rapid travel to the forest, the bumps on the horses were unbearable for these big men.
They couldn't understand Arthur's eager mood, and he was already emotional now.
"Then take a good rest. You guys rest, I'll hunt some wild beasts, and we'll have a good meal."
The food on the road consisted of hard bread, dried meat and freshly cooked wheat porridge from outside the town. Arthur himself felt that he could no longer taste the taste of meat in his mouth.
People are like iron, and meat is like steel. If you don't eat a meal, you will be in a hurry.
"Great."
"Long live Lord Arthur."
"The wild deer will come on the hour."
The group of people immediately cheered, and Arthur's enlightenment immediately improved their mood.
Most people got off their horses, found a flat place in the open space among the giant trees, and lay down to rest.
Except for the two Redwin brothers and Arthur and Jules, all the people in the team were civilians, and they had all behaved like hedge knights. Sleeping in the open space was very common.
Hedge knights are the collective name for free knights, wandering warriors, and mercenaries among the people. Because these people are reluctant to stay in hotels, they often sleep under trees or beside fences for the night.
Arthur asked a few people who seemed to be in good spirits to be on guard duty, and then went hunting with a few good hands.
Half an hour later.
"Hey, why can't we see wild boars in this forest?" An Gai asked doubtfully.
"Maybe it was Mr. Arthur's wild boar killer's scent that made them hide." Hopper, one of the twins, explained.
He was much more energetic than his brother, and he also came to hunt.
Ange asked: "What is a wild boar killer?"
Hobb then explained in detail Arthur's deeds of killing wild boars at Harrenhal.
This surprised An Gai and several other mercenaries.
"Lord Arthur's bravery is still beyond our imagination."
"An ordinary warhammer can kill a wild boar, so wouldn't a giant hammer have a hard time meeting an opponent in the entire continent?"
"I think the huge Demon Mountain can fight with adults. At least he can withstand a beating."
Arthur agreed with this statement: "If the Magic Mountain is covered in chain armor and full-body plate armor, he might really be able to withstand my giant hammer. If I fight him again, it depends on who he is.
I can’t bear the beating anymore.”
The small conflict with the Magic Mountain in the tournament gave Arthur a clear understanding of his own power.
Weaker than Magic Mountain, but the difference is not big.
And due to the addition of agility, Arthur is much more agile than the Mountain.
That giant hammer can be danced even in the Magic Mountain, but it's just limited to dancing.
Being clumsy, he could not change his moves in time after holding a heavy weapon like a giant hammer, so he chose a much lighter two-handed sword.
This makes him as flexible as an ordinary plate knight.
Arthur's advantage is that he can maintain flexibility and dexterity while holding a giant hammer.
Therefore, his current combat power should be about 50-50 equal to that of Demon Mountain.
If you add in the advantages of physical strength and injury resistance, Magic Mountain can't survive him.
In short, Arthur is looking forward to the next battle with Gregor Clegane.
"Hush, there's a white deer."
As a top archer, Angei's eyesight was amazing, and he spotted a white deer in the distance.
Then several people slowly gathered around and at a suitable distance, Angail drew his bow and shot an arrow, but the shot missed.
But coincidentally, the white deer actually rushed towards Arthur.
Then it died under Shuo Yue's sharp blade.
"It's such a rare color, I don't know what it means." Someone sighed.
"Disaster and fortune, who knows?"
Arthur firmly believed that this was a good sign.
Baratheon lost his deer, Arthur gained it.
