The Winter of Ice and Fire Is Coming

Three days later, the competition officially began. (Friendly suggestion, scan the book slowly, it's best not to skip it.)

The competition field is divided into three.

On one side is a high platform and benches covered with beautiful carpets for watching the martial arts competition. In the middle of the high platform, there are seats for the king, queen and prime minister, and the extended positions on both sides are for the nobles and ladies to sit. The high platform and the bench are stepped, about one mile long. The distance between the bench and the bench is very wide, and two people can pass side by side.

In front of the bench seats there is a special long table filled with fruits and sweets. When the competition is over, the king will feast on the noble lords, these fruit candies will be removed, and all kinds of steaming meaty and vegetable delicacies will be served. At the same time, the competition field will become a paradise for the actors. Singer, chant poet,

Behind the high benches, the best cooks invited by the king are busy in full swing. In the barbecue area, a whole goat, calf, and wild boar are skewered on iron braces, slowly being pushed by the cooks. Rotating grill...

This piece of high platform is in the center of the martial arts field, and the other side of the competition field, opposite the high platform bench, is crowded with ordinary people. Thousands of people are standing next to each other, occupying large areas. The noise came and went one after another, in stark contrast to the quiet and refined manners of the nobles on the king's side.

After the king and queen were seated, Prime Minister Stark took the seat. Then, hundreds of noble lords and their wives, young masters and young masters took their seats.

With the king's loud bell: "Damn herald, let them start!" The herald issued an order, and the knights and warriors who participated in the martial arts competition appeared one after another. Greetings to the people.

The first day is the lance competition. The last four lancers will be decided within one day, and the winner will be decided the next morning.

Arya, Bran, Sansa, Robb, Jenny Poole, Sister Modan and others are together, and they are a long distance away from Prime Minister Ed Stark. Four Stark's four wolves are all locked in the Prime Minister's Tower.

The first team to appear was the dazzling king-leaded knights. The king's younger brother, the handsome Duke Lanli of Wind's Breath, was the first to ride. He wears a helmet with two golden horns, which are in the shape of antlers and are made of pure gold. As soon as he appeared, he drew applause from both the people and the nobles, one after another. Both commoners and nobles like Duke Lanly, and they are all impressed by his graceful manner...

Then came the famous Seven Iron Guards of the Imperial Forest. It is a pity that there are only four white cloaks in this competition this year. They are the fearless Sir Barristan Selmi, the captain of the Iron Guards. They are sixty-one years old this year, but still In the Grand Tournament four years ago, he defeated all his opponents and won the championship...Although Barristan Selmi was also very popular, he was not half the voice of the Duke of Lanly.

His other three brothers in white are Sir Bellos Braun, an ugly man with a large chest but round legs; a flat nose, messy gray hair; this guy is the least courageous of the seven brothers; the short Pule Sirston Greenfield; Alex Oakhurt, the most handsome of the Iron Guards except James, is second only to James and Barristan in swordsmanship, ranking third among the seven guards .

Behind the Royal Forest Guard are numerous courtier knights and mercenary knights, including war monk Soros from the free trade city of Mill on the other side of the narrow sea. He is a big bald head and believes in the King of Light, that is, the Red God. His loose red robe snapped and rolled in the wind, causing Sansa and Finance Pool's daughter Jeanne Poole to giggle.

Sister Modan told them that during the Grejoy rebellion war in the Iron Islands, Soros armed with a flaming sword, attacked the Pike wall alone, and Sansa and Jenny stopped laughing in surprise...

The old, broken, and scratched leather suit of Dorn’s archer Anga is gone. He wears a shiny chain mail. His hair has been carefully groomed. The stirrups are all new. The red stirrups are also very eye-catching. He pledged allegiance to him. As Queen Yu, a civilian archer who became the leader of the king took part in the competition.

The second competition team came from the West.

The first to appear is Gregor Clegane, who was exclaimed as a magic mountain. He was riding on his high war horse, his legs were too long, making his horse look like a toy horse, and the spear in his hand looked like a broom compared to his huge size.

Devil Mountain caused a sensation as soon as it appeared. His eyes were full of brutality, and when he accepted the cheers of the people, he was not happy. Moshan slowly rode his horse through the martial arts channel. When his eyes matched those of Sansa, Sansa suddenly suffocated...

Behind Gregor Clegane, is the Western Territory's martial arts team: the hunting dog Sandor Clegane, one shot away from his brother. This is a safe distance to understand the character of Devil Mountain. Then there was Bolong who straightened his waist a little taller than he appeared to be.

In the contrast between the hound and the magic mountain, Bolong's sense of existence is too low. Next to Bologne was Adam Malbrun, tall and handsome, handsome and sunny, wearing a purple cloak, holding a spear, and the tip of the spear facing the sky. There is an elegant temperament in the heroic spirit.

Behind these four people are the mercenary knights and oath riders of the West, a large group of people.

After the West Territory team passed by, there were lords and knights from various places. They had Count Jason Melist wearing an eagle wing helmet. He came from the coastal city of the Riverland, who forced the poaching of male deer. Will went to be the night watchman; his brother Dennis Melist had already been executed by Will on the Great Wall.

There are also Sir Barron Sven; Earl Bryce Cullen of Frontier; Sir Anda Royce, the heir of Bronze Jon, and his brother Sir Robert...and Will and Gary, two veterans. Sir Weimar Royce, who was killed by ghosts while patrolling the Great Wall, came from this family.

The armors of the Knights of the Royce family are plated with silver and engraved with bronze protective charms, which are said to have certain magical energy. The twin brothers of the Redwing family on Qingting Island, Sir Holath and Sir Hober, have blue-bottomed wine-red grape clusters on their shields...

Among all the knights, the youngest is Sir Loras Tyrell, known as the Knight of the Flower. He is the youngest son of the Duke of the High Court and the guardian of the southern border Metz Tyrell, only sixteen years old. His armor was carefully carved, the enamel on it contained a thousand different flowers, and his snow-white mount was covered with a red blanket and white roses.

Sansa had never seen such a handsome person. She looked at his charming smile and couldn't remove her eyes.

There are also six Frey family representatives from Luanhe City, including Sir Jerry, Hosting, Sir Danwell, Sir Ammon, Sir Theo, and Sir Pavin. All are the old Marquis Wald Frey. His children and grandchildren, including Wald Frey’s illegitimate son Martin River, also came.

Robb Stark, sitting in the seat of the nobility, looked at the Frey competition team. I wonder if these guys have received news of the unfortunate death of their father Wald Frey... I hope the Freys who lost their father can not Affected by the death of his father, he exerted his strength and achieved a beautiful result.

The last one to appear was the Northern Territory Tournament Team. The Night Watch also belonged to the Northern Territory, and the Stark family and the Night Watch Legion had a long-term ally relationship, so Will the Black Man appeared in the Northern Territory Tournament Team.

Jon the Iron Spear raised the Stark’s Ice Wolves banner with one hand and rode in the forefront. When he came out, there was a shout of applause. The flag bearers of the other competition teams were all two-handed flags. Unmatched arm strength. This caused the self-esteem Theon Greyjoy to feel quite upset...

In the team, the prime minister's guard captain Jory looks like a beggar. He was wearing a gray-blue armor, without any heraldry or carvings, and the gray cloak on his shoulders looked like a dirty rag. Ailin and Halwin, who were next to him, were similar to him, and the three were like wandering riders without a master.

In the team, the heroic Daisy Mormont attracted a lot of people’s attention. The Darling next to her looked disgraceful and was completely ignored... But one person stared at Darling, this Man is Tyrion, the little demon among the nobles. He saw Dah Jie's short bow and the black arrow that was one size smaller...The black arrow made him impressed and familiar.

"Hey, little devil." A voice said softly.

The little devil turned his head and saw the smiling little finger Count Petyr Berishe. Next to him, followed by a humble strange servant, also looking at him with a smile.

"When the game starts, I have to bet with you." Pettier said.

"You disappeared for several days?" There was no smile on the little devil's face, and the careful and scrutiny was hidden in his eyes.

"Fortunately, it's intact and can still be alive and well. I'm curious, how did you survive that night?"

"I'm also curious, so what about you?"

When the last Sir Tyron Ashes appeared on the stage, the audience was a sensation. The real giant came. Tyron Ashes carried his fear sword and heavy black plate armor. Every step he took, the ground trembled slightly... He was all The only knight on the field who did not ride a war horse around the field, because there was no war horse to bear his weight, and his height was too high. Riding on the strongest war horse, his legs were still on the ground...

The Queen Cersei looked at ease and looked forward to her brilliance. She confessed that she had the chance to win-but when Tyron Ashes walked up like a mountain, Cersei paled suddenly... She had heard warnings and descriptions from the little devil's mouth, but Hearing nothing, she didn't pay attention to it, but now--

King Robert abruptly stood up, the glass in his hand splashed with golden liquid: "My God, Ned, when did a giant come out from the north...Big man, come here, I want to reward you three." A glass of wine..."

The king gave wine, this kind of glory, this is the first time before the competition has officially started.

There was a bang, and the people were cheering!
