Game of Thrones: Knight of Glory

Chapter 33 Killing State

Robert Baratheon's fully armed appearance on the sidelines of his group's competition undoubtedly caused quite a commotion. No one thought that Robert, as the king, actually planned to fight in person, and even used a blade in this battle. In the group competition of weapons.

Many people think Robert is crazy, because it has only been a year since the War of the Usurper, and there are still many remnants of the Dragon family who are secretly planning to overthrow the Baratheon dynasty. Now Robert's actions are undoubtedly completely destroying himself. Exposed to danger, if something happens to Robert, the newly formed Baratheon dynasty may be on the verge of collapse again.

At this time, all the dignitaries present looked at the Hand of the King, Jon Arryn, who was following Robert with a gloomy face.

These dignitaries know very well how stubborn King Robert's character is, and only Jon Arryn can persuade him in the entire city of King's Landing. Logically speaking, Jon Arryn should dissuade such an extremely stupid move like this. But looking at the situation now, it seems that Jon Arryn has not played his role as the Hand of the King.

Not only did Jon Erin fail to dissuade King Robert, but Queen Cersei also failed to dissuade him successfully. It was easy to see from the slightly blue corners of her eyes that she might have received special treatment.

What was even more incredible to everyone was that King Robert did not seem to be planning to lead his Kingsguard in the competition, but instead selected twenty people from the Storm's End Guards of the Baratheon family to accompany them.

Although this move was extremely stupid, it also made Robert Baratheon look very brave and just, and subtly made the knights and warriors around him admire him.

When Robert arrived at the competition ground, he didn't say much. He couldn't wait to say "Let's begin!" and led the people into the middle of the competition ground.

Seeing this, everyone looked at each other and entered the competition arena. However, no one had any intention of taking action at this moment. For a while, the entire venue fell into a strange silence.

"Do it! You idiots!" Apparently this weird silence annoyed Robert Baratheon. He shouted at everyone and rushed directly to the Lannister nearest him. The soldier of the family directly hit the soldier in the chest with a hammer, sending him flying out of the competition arena. It was easy to see from his sunken chest that he was probably dying.

Robert's move was like a spark that instantly ignited the fighting spirit of all the participants in the tournament. A moment ago, they might have been a little concerned about Robert's identity, but now they have put aside any concerns about life and death. Take down the enemies around you first.

As a result, everyone raised their weapons towards the nearest enemy. No matter how they had discussed in advance how to cooperate in fighting, they could not remember this situation now. They all attacked the enemy according to their own habits, without any training. Some cooperation in fighting.

Being alone, Linde was naturally regarded as the best enemy to deal with by the people around him. Several warriors from the Arryn, Martell, and Tully families rushed towards Linde almost at the same time.

Faced with the siege, Linde was not afraid at all. During this period, he was training almost every day to fight one against many, so when these people attacked, he already had ten sets of response plans in his mind, and he quickly passed the attack People who came over were in different positions and found a suitable solution.

I saw that he easily avoided the long sword stabbed by the Aylin family warrior with a sliding step. At the same time, the long sword in his hand also found a flaw under his arm and swung it out.

The weapon that Villas prepared for his brother was indeed extraordinary. The long sword cut through the leather armor of the opponent like a hot knife cutting through butter. The sharp blade cut his body from the right armpit, diagonally upward. The man was disemboweled up to his shoulders, and his internal organs flowed all over the place with blood.

Although he easily defeated an enemy, Linde's footsteps did not stop. He was still moving quickly, and his body rotated and jumped with his footsteps. While he just avoided the attacking weapon, the long swords in both hands also moved. With the power of rotation, it directly split the attacker's neck.

Although the soldiers of the Martell family defended themselves in time, the force generated by Lind's whole body rotating and moving his arms was not something that ordinary defense could block. The weapon in the hands of the Martell family warriors was swung away by the powerful force, and his neck The head on his neck only stayed on his neck for a second or two longer than the other besiegers.

In just the blink of an eye, four people died under Linde's long sword. Originally, he attracted much attention because he stood alone in the competition field. Now, with his extremely efficient killing, he attracted attention. attracted more people's attention.

Among these followers was the regicide Jaime Lannister. In fact, when Jaime followed Robert Baratheon to the sidelines of the tournament, he first saw Lynd standing alone on the sidelines. , and recognized him as the guard soldier of the Tyrell family that day.

Because Linde left such a deep impression on him that day, not only because of the glory of Shadow Lynx, but also because Linde was the only one who didn't look at him, the regicide, with strange eyes this year. People, you have to know that even his sister, who has a very close relationship with him, showed a hint of abnormal emotions when talking about regicide, so this made him a little curious about Linde.

Although he wanted to talk to Lind afterwards and wanted to know why he didn't look at him strangely, he had to stay at the Red Castle during this period and couldn't spare any time, so the idea was temporarily shelved.

However, what he never expected was that he would see Linde in this group competition, and Linde also showed extraordinary exquisite swordsmanship, which made him even more curious about Linde. Intense.

The area around Linde who killed four people was immediately empty. All nearby participants knew that Linde was not someone to be trifled with, so they subconsciously avoided Linde and chose other opponents.

Linde did not continue to attack others, but stood there and observed the situation around him.

There are hundreds of people participating in the group competition. The competition field is extremely chaotic at the moment. Everyone is attacking the people around them randomly. Some people even accidentally hurt their teammates. In this case, they rashly broke into the melee. , it will only hinder Linde's advantage in pace and movement, and fall into a situation where he is attacked from both sides.

Moreover, this group competition will last for a long time, and it will become more and more difficult towards the end. Starting now to conserve energy in a planned way will allow Linde to go further in this competition.

However, Linde's passive approach to work and conserving strength aroused dissatisfaction from the people around him. They cursed loudly that Linde was a weak coward, and yelled for others around him to attack Linde.

Faced with this kind of insult, Linde didn't care at all and still stood in the middle of a group of melee people.

However, because Lind was wearing the Rose Badge of the Tyrell family, the insults gradually moved to the Rose family camp on the sidelines. Mace Tyrell, who couldn't stand the insults, wanted to order Lind to attack, but was stopped by Garland and Foley. Teemo stopped him, and Maester Moras, who had a good impression of Lind, also persuaded the Duke not to give orders arbitrarily, and that the right thing to do is to let the people in the arena play freely. This stopped Duke Tyrell from doing this. Such folly.

Although Duke Tyrell's order was blocked, the orders of other nobles were still implemented. Two warriors from the north, under the orders of their respective masters, invariably let go of the attacking target and turned around. And he killed Linde who had his back turned to them.

Because of the suddenness of the incident, Linde didn't seem to notice the sneak attack behind him. He was completely unprepared and still looked ahead when the attacker's ax and sword fell towards his head.

Seeing such a thrilling scene, many people in the Tyrell family who were watching the battle shouted, trying to alert Lind.

However, before these reminders could reach Linde's ears through the noisy battlefield, Linde suddenly and mysteriously disappeared from the eyes of the two attackers. Immediately afterwards, the two of them felt a pain in their chests, followed by a wave of pain. A powerful impact fell on them, knocking them away and falling to the ground without getting up again. A large amount of blood emerged from the damage on their chests pierced by a long sword, and soon dyed the ground red. .

Compared to the two dead attackers who didn't know how they died until they died, the spectators around the arena saw Linde's attack clearly.

They saw a burly man nearly two meters tall, who instantly shrunk by almost half as if by magic. He easily avoided the attack from behind, and then recognized the attack as if there were eyes behind him. The attacker's position, and then the whole person was ejected like a flea and hit the attacker behind him. At the same time, the two half-swords in his hands passed through the armpits and pierced into the attacker's chest with the impact, cleanly. Two attackers were dealt with.

Many people present had never seen such a wonderful and ingenious killing method, and the audience, who had been disgusted with Lind standing there and doing nothing, cheered for him.

In the Tyrell family's camp, the guard soldiers who had served as Lind's training partners excitedly shouted the name of bear hunters.

Linde did not relax after killing the two attackers, because at this time, five or six warriors from different families also obeyed their lord's orders and launched a siege on Linde, not at all because Linde had just killed him easily. The two of them were afraid of shrinking back.

If these people were from the same family and knew how to cooperate with each other, Linde might have to spend a lot of time to deal with them. But in the face of these random attacks without coordination, he easily found the loopholes in the siege circle and relied on his agility to His movements and clever steps easily avoided the attacks of these people. At the same time, the long sword in his hand attacked the weak points of these people without any hesitation, killing them with one blow.

As a result, the people around the competition field saw a strange scene. A warrior as strong as a bear moved as nimble as a civet. The long sword in his hand danced more gracefully than in a dance. A bunch of completely contradictory things. Things were blended together, and no one felt any sense of dissonance.

Just when the audience was shocked by Linde's fighting style and the efficient killing it gave him, all those who attacked Linde died under his sword. Only then did everyone realize that Linde had already killed him in a short period of time. Killed more than a dozen enemies, the number of enemies killed was the highest among all present. Even King Robert, who was fully in combat mode and had the cooperation of his warriors, could not compare.

For a time, cheers for Linde resounded throughout the competition arena.

These cheers did not affect the warriors in the competition field. Most of them were already red-eyed and could not hear the sounds from the outside world at all.

Different from the last time, this time after Linde solved his opponent, he no longer stood still and waited for the opportunity as before. Instead, he chose to take the initiative and start looking for a suitable target.

The reason why he changed his strategy was because just after he dealt with the attackers, he saw that the leading soldiers of the Tully family, the Stark family, and the Arryn family had noticed him and regarded him as a threat. .

Although they are not yet free to deal with Linde, they have taken the initiative to move the battle around Linde, vaguely surrounding Linde, not only trying to trap Linde, but also planning to besiege Linde again.

Different from the previous warriors from small families, the warriors directly under these large families are veterans who have been on the battlefield for a long time and have rich cooperation experience. If they are besieged by these veteran warriors, it will definitely not be a problem for Linde. Good thing, that's why he changed his strategy and took the initiative to defeat them one by one.

Ever since, the audience outside the competition saw a burly man freely shuttled through the melee competition like a fish in the water. He perfectly dodged attacks from the surroundings and waved his hands every time. Someone would fall down with the long sword, and no one was injured. They were all killed with one blow. It was as if someone had been sent by a stranger to come here to harvest lives.

Some people even began to count the people in Dead Lind's hands, and as time went by, the number quickly exceeded the fifty mark, and showed no signs of stopping, and began to rush towards the hundred mark.

On the competition field, Linde has now completely entered the killing state of the peace messenger. He no longer considers the cause and effect of this group competition, nor does he consider the various troubles he will face after the competition. Now his only The idea is to kill every enemy and make yourself the last person standing on the fighting field.

And when he entered this killing state, he discovered for the first time how powerful the changes in his body and senses were. No matter how chaotic the surroundings were, he could always sense the trajectory of every enemy attack, and even entered a In a state similar to bullet time, everything around him seemed to slow down, allowing him to more easily find dodge positions and attack weaknesses, thereby launching a fatal counterattack.

It is no exaggeration to say that in this state, facing the elite warriors from various families around him, he was like a farmer harvesting weeds at will.

If there are no accidents, the final winner of this competition will definitely be him.

However, accidents often come so suddenly. Linde, who was completely immersed in the state of killing, did not realize that his physical strength was being depleted rapidly. By the time he realized it, most of his physical strength had been depleted and it began to affect his movements.

Linde, who sensed something was wrong, immediately got out of the killing state, and after pulling out the sword from an enemy's neck, he did not continue to attack others. Instead, he stood there and looked at the people around him calmly, breathing slowly. Try to stay as steady as possible, not gasping for breath due to physical exhaustion, and make yourself look relaxed.

His approach undoubtedly deceived the people around him. No one realized that his physical strength had reached its limit. In addition, the corpses piled at Linde's feet had frightened the soldiers who tried to besiege Linde. , and no one dared to attack Linde again.

At this moment, a strange scene appeared on the competition ground. Everyone around was fighting, but the 20 meters around Linde's body was empty. Except for the corpse on the ground, only Linde was standing there.
