0046 War
Harrenhal, the king led a large army to the city.
Rollin was served by the attendants and wore a set of full-body chain mail with a soft padding on the inside of the armor, so that even if the bow and arrow pierced the outer armor, it would not hurt Rollin's body.
This was followed by iron gloves and shin guards to protect the limbs.
Finally, the squire took out the stainless steel cuirass that Rollin had purchased in King's Landing, white steel from Braavos, very hard, with the family crest of the 'Holy Dragon' family inlaid on the front of the breastplate, and a silver cross on a gold background.
After putting on the cuirass, Rollin took the helmet that had been handed to him from the squire.
"Are you ready?" He asked Auf Tails.
"Everything is ready." Auf said. "More than 2,000 soldiers of the Eastern Route Army, and more than 1,000 members of the Poor Assembly called by the Holy Knights have been assembled."
Luo Lin nodded, this soldier is just giving himself a boost, if he really wants to fight the Eastern Route Army left by Mei Ge to himself, the improvised gathering of the poor will only shout 666.
"Very well," Rollin said to Ferry and the others behind him, "Now, come out of town with me." ”
He asked his attendants to tie him a cloak embroidered with the family crest.
The men and horses chosen by Auf were waiting outside the hall.
From the weapon rack in the hall, the hammer of justice was picked up, and the group walked towards the city gate.
The passive evolution of the fly snail is more powerful than Luo Lin imagined, and his strength has more than doubled in a little more than a month, although there is a trend of slowing down now, but it is still slowly and continuously improving Luo Lin's body.
The hammer of justice, which was a little reluctant to pick up, can be wielded and used normally.
"Open the door!"
After a loud mechanical noise, the iron-clad gate slowly lifted from the mud, like the mouth of the sea dragon Naga slowly opening.
Then the wooden drawbridge was lowered. The moat that led from the Lake of God's Eye was very wide, and the towering drawbridge was slowly lowered by the hinges, and Rollin waited for a few minutes in front of the door.
When the view outside the city filled the openings in the gates, he stepped on the drawbridge with his men.
Jaehaerys was already waiting for him on the other side of the drawbridge.
Compared to the large number of guards behind Jaehaerys, Rollin's ranks were pitiful, and the king's army was very well armed, while Lorraine's numbered members of the Poor People's Assembly were like a group of refugees.
Bang! ~The dream fire fell next to the army, and Rhaenia walked over and stood beside Rollin.
"Rollin, do you know why I'm here." Jaehaerys spoke.
Luo Lin said lightly:
"I built the Holy Dragon!"
"The honor of the nobles you have tarnished, come forward and stand trial, or Harrenhal will fall for the second time." Duke Tully glared at Rollin and said, "You will be the second Black-Hearted Heron. ”
"Rollin, I don't want you to be another Mego." Duke Roga said in a deep voice, "We will give you a fair result. ”
Rollin smiled, "Result? Dead or dressed in black? ”
"What else do you want, provoking the majesty of the royal family and trampling on the rules of the nobility." "It is already the king's mercy to be clothed in black. ”
"No, I'm not guilty." Rollin said loudly.
"Then you're planning to be stubborn?" Jaehaerys said calmly.
"I... Choose a joust trial! Luo Lin walked to the front of the array, looked excited, and shouted loudly: "The Seven Gods and the King of the Ancestors have bestowed justice on me, and today I will prove it." ”
He raised his huge hammer axe and roared angrily: "Justice will prevail!" ”
The Harrenhal procession and the poor gathered together to chant Rollin's family motto, and there was also some momentum.
Martial arts trials are a method of adjudicating and resolving disputes. In a joust trial, the two sides of the dispute fight to the death, and the surviving side wins the trial.
Regardless of whether they are noble or not, the judge can ask for a trial of martial arts or, less commonly, the judgment of the Seven Sons to let the gods of heaven make a judgment, not by the hands of the world.
The monarch on Jaehaerys's side fell silent, judging from Rollin's one-handed holding of his two-handed hammer, Rollin had a certain amount of force, and he was not weak.
Martial arts trials are likely to be problematic, as individual force is decisive in duels but there are more accidents. What if we lose, and the army of more than 30,000 people will run to Harrenhal and go around, and go back for a ride? Their ministers will be laughed out of their big teeth in this issue.
But refusal is not good, this is the legitimate right and right of every nobleman, and they have also imprisoned the archbishop of the church, and it will not end well if they do anything out of character, and the lesson of Meggor is close at hand.
"Your Majesty, the minister is willing to compete with Luo Lin." Duke Roga broke the silence. "I dreamed of a one-on-one duel with Meggor and a one-on-one duel with my axe to win the title of the first warrior of Westeros."
"It's a pity that Maegor was assassinated." Luo Jia looked at the figure standing on Luo Lin's stand, and said calmly: "Now his son has begun to have courage, just to make up for his regrets." ”
Jaehaerys was a little speechless when he heard this, what are you kidding, you protect the whole territory, the hand of the king, if something goes wrong, the kingdom must not be turbulent again?
Jaehaerys shook his head in disapproval.
"You ask for a martial arts trial, yes, this is the basic power that the Seven Gods give to the secondary nobles." Jaehaerys looked at Rollin and said indifferently: "You said that the Seven Gods and the King of the Ancestors have bestowed justice on you, it is very good, this King of the Ancestors has won hundreds of battles.
Prove it with your justice, if you can win a hundred duels in a row, I will recognize the establishment of the Holy Dragon Family as the head of the Targaryen family. ”
Rollin's scalp was a little numb, and he looked at Jaehaerys' eyes with fire, you are going to force me to a dead end.
Rhaenia said angrily:
"No, it's not fair and it's not just."
The Duke of Tully scoffed:
"Since Rollin thinks that the 'King of Rivers and Hills' has given him the Hammer of Justice, then he should be blessed by this former king, and if Stephen IV can win a hundred battles, then Rollin with the Hammer of Justice should be able to do the same."
Rollin stopped Rhaenia, who was still trying to argue, he stared at the monarch in front of him, his eyes flickered, and he said in a loud voice:
"I promise!"
Jaehaerys and the others were stunned when they heard Rollin's reply, they never thought that Rollin would agree to such a mortal battle, it was just an excuse to force him to obey or resist.
"Boy, you have a backbone, and you deserve to be Mei Ge's species." Duke Luo Jia looked at Luo Lin and smiled, "I hope you also have the strength of Meg, haha!" ”
Hum! The Duke of Tully pursed his lips disdainfully, even if Maeg was alive, it was impossible to win a hundred games in a row, and there was no time to rest in between.
"Off." Rollin turned around and said, "You go to the castle and kill a few cows, and let the cook cook them and bring them over." ”
Auf was stunned, a little unaware of the meaning of Rollin's order, but he still turned around and carried it out.
Luo Lin pulled the two-handed hammer axe in his hand into a semicircle, and said loudly:
"Come, the first to die."
Jaehaerys frowned slightly, he didn't know where Rollin got his confidence, and just as he was about to give the order, Duke Roga had already spoken first.
"Putka, you go and test this kid's strength."
One of the knights of the Stormlands bowed to the duke, and without saying much, he directly copied a two-handed greatsword and stepped into the door.
Bennyfell's master walked to the side of the field to be the referee, and when he saw that the two were ready, he announced in a loud voice:
"The first joust begins."
As soon as the words fell, the two of them rushed towards each other at the same time, judging from the greatsword held by the Stormland Knight, they all took the same power route as Rollin.
Even the moves are almost the same, they are all holding weapons high, using the weight of heavy weapons to forcibly cut down the opponent.
This kind of fighting for his life as soon as he comes up, without any temptation, is very rare in martial arts.
"Boom."
The weapons collided overhead, and all of a sudden, flames flew everywhere.
Everyone looked at it, and the Stormland Knight was obviously at a loss in the battle of strength, and took several steps back under the reaction force.
Before the Stormland Knight could retract his strength, Rollin's second axe returned.
Fight with an axe? The center of gravity of the giant sword and the axe are different, the axe is born to be the overlord of chopping, not to mention that the weapon in Rollin's hand is a special hammer axe, kinetic energy, potential energy, bigger and stronger than ordinary axes.
In the first battle, the Stormland Knights were scattered in their strength, and now they can't raise their swords to defend themselves.
There was a hint of cruelty in Rollin's eyes.
"Poof."
The Stormland Knight was split in two diagonally by the Hammer of Justice from his left shoulder to his right waist, and his whole person was broken into two knots, and blood splattered Rollin's body.
The battle was over.
Bennyfer was stunned and announced: "In the first game, Rollin wins." ”
After saying that, he turned to look at Duke Roga, who is next?
Duke Roga's expression also became solemn, and Rollin really had a bit of Meg's style.
He sneered, "I've already sent a family knight, so let's choose someone below." ”
The corner of Duke Tully's eyes twitched, this is a hint that the knights of his own faction are the most fierce in this trial, and it is impossible to say that he is not on it at this time, but the first few battles are obviously consuming Luo Lin's physical strength, and the probability of winning is very small.
There was no water in the competition just now, and the strength of the Stormland Knight was all in the upper reaches of the Seven Kingdoms, and as a result, he was dismembered in one face.
Seeing that everyone present was silent, the Duke of Tully had no choice but to order the knights of the family beside him: "You go, be careful." ”
The knight's eyebrows were a little thick, and when he heard the order of the head of the family, his face instantly turned pale.
But on this occasion, the result of disobeying the orders of the head of the family was even worse, and he saluted and turned to the field.
The results of the battle were obvious, and within a single round, the cuirass was cut by Rollin's hammer axe and died directly.
The design of the Hammer of Justice is simply an armor-piercing weapon, with a heavy hammer at one end and a serrated axe blade at the other.
Match 2: Rollin wins.
Duke Tully's face was a little bad, because everyone was still silent, did he have to send his own knights? The cultivation of these elite knights is not easy.
Look at their eyes as if to say, you instigated the war, you don't pay blood, who will come?
"Lettle, you go again." Duke Tully gritted his teeth.
Match 3: Rollin wins.
"Wiska, you go." Duke Tully's eyes were a little angry.
Match 4: Rollin wins.
Duke Tully's eyes collapsed a little, these knights are not ordinary cabbages, they are all trained by hard training since childhood, and there are not many big nobles.
It's even more impossible to use those creeps, and it may not even be possible to consume Rollin's physical strength.
Jaehaerys stared at the panting Rollin in the field, Rollin, you really like to surprise me, it's just a personal bravery.
"Your Majesty." Seeing that the ministers were still counting the ants on the ground, the Duke of Tully had to turn to Jaehaerys for help, and although he instigated this war, it was still for the royal family's business in name.
"Well, Sir Joffrey Dorget, go and have a contest." Jaehaerys said.
"Yes, Your Majesty." A white-robed knight answered.
Everyone's eyes lit up, the Royal Forest Iron Guard appeared, this battle may be winnable, and after several rounds of battles, they all saw that Rollin was a little tired.
You see, Rollin was still gasping for breath with his weapon just now.
Hey! ~
He was still eating at this time, and he saw Rollin standing in the middle of the field holding a roasted beef shank, gobbling it up for a while, and eating with his mouth full of oil.
Biting off a piece of beef tendon hard, Rollin looked at the knight who came on the field this time, in a white robe? It's the Kingsguard, the masters are here, these white-robed knights are the most brave warriors in Westeros.
Throwing the gnawed beef leg bone on the ground, Luo Lin wiped the corners of his mouth, fortunately, the talent witchcraft magic power consumption of the fly snail is very low, but the biological energy is not enough, but there is food to replenish at any time, and it is just the same.
Luo Lin's strength is actually not much different from these knights, and some are even stronger than him, but after the active evolution of the snail, the arm can play a crushing effect.
Compared to combat skills, these knights are no worse than Rollin, but in the face of absolute power, many skills have become pale and weak.
And after this duel, Luo Lin found that his strength had increased a lot, which was the passive evolution of the fly snail in effect.
This ability is a bit like a movie I watched in my previous life, the mutant with the ability to adapt can change the structure of the body according to different environments, and perfectly adapt to any environment, this is evolution.
This kind of high-intensity battle, passive evolution, has also been constantly and frantically enhancing Luo Lin's physique, so that he can survive in this harsh battlefield.
This white robe had already come to the opposite side of Luo Lin, and Luo Lin looked carefully and found that this person was somewhat familiar.
As I remember, he was the 'Red Dog of the Hills', the leader of the Poor People's Rally who had surrendered to Jaehaerys in Old Town.
The red dog stared straight at Rollin.
Although this young man's combat skills are very poor, his absolute strength is already qualified to make him "face up".
Luo Lin said calmly: "Holy Dragon, Luo Lin. ”
"Kingsguard, Joffrey Dorgett."
"I prefer your old name, Red Dog." Rollin grinned.
Joffrey's eyes were as sharp as knives. "It doesn't matter."
After the two sides introduced each other, Rollin changed.
Luo Lin's body seemed to be in a large circle, his height reached more than two meters, and his face became cross-fleshed, this was the first time that his whole body actively evolved.
The red dog's expression was also very solemn.
Others could only have a rough feeling, but he was different, he was facing Rollin's massive body.
That feeling of oppression even made him feel like he couldn't hold it up.
"I didn't expect you to be a wizard, and you're rarely good at alchemy witchcraft, but you can't defeat me with your strength."
"Bang."
The red dog stepped on his legs, and his figure was like a cannonball out of the chamber, and he actually took the initiative to rush towards Luo Lin.
It's a good time, Rollin saw this person coming, laughed, held the end of the hammer of justice with both hands, and swept directly.
It doesn't matter what combat skills you have, I can only break them with one force.
It turned out to be an asymmetrical long-handled hammer relative to its body shape, and at this time, Rollin's larger body was just right.
Red Dog's speed is not fast, but the power that bursts out of his body is extremely terrifying, obviously, he is also a power warrior.
Seeing that the hammer blocked the entire way, he had to stabilize his body, there was no way, the hammer that was close to two meters swept the area, and he basically couldn't get close.
Red Dog is also a two-handed steel sword used, and when he saw that the heavy hammer was old, he bullied Luo Lin again. His combat thinking is very clear, this kind of long-handled heavy weapon fighting, it is impossible to fight at all, and it is easy to be killed by the powerful hammer axe at the first glance.
He wants to compete with Luo Lin in close quarters for swordsmanship, attacking the enemy's shortcomings with his strengths.
The two-handed sword was no longer suitable for stabbing at such a close distance, and the red dog directly slashed at Luo Lin's neck with the blade.
Rollin just lifted the handle of the hammer and made a slight block.
"Bang."
The blade collided with the metal hilt with a muffled sound.
Rollin seemed to be shaking all over, but he didn't move, blocking the blow of the red dog.
"Drink!"
The red dog roared. The blade of the sword was changed to a pick, and the tip of the sword wanted to wipe Rollin's throat.
Lorraine was horrified, his head tilted back, and his body rolled over and fell backwards, dodging the attack.
"It's useless..."A gleam flashed in the red dog's eyes.
Because of Rollin's evasive moves, his long sword was already above Rollin at this time.
Red Dog holds the sword in both hands, now is the best time to chop, I slash!
A full force slash roared towards Luo Lin's unstable body.
Rollin's pupils shrank..."It's over!" ”
"Poof." The sound of the blade slashing flesh.
"Ahh ~" Rollin let out a bitter howl.
The entire two-handed greatsword was completely embedded in Rollin's left shoulder, and Rollin fell to the ground and died.
"Rollin." Rhaenia covered her mouth in disbelief.
The red dog gasped for breath, and each blow of this series of attacks was an all-out blow.
The middle is connected with green silk tightly, as long as there is a slight mistake, it is him who dies, this is experience and swordsmanship, not this guy who fell to the ground can compare.
"Strength is very important, but swordsmanship is also fundamental, I hope you can understand this truth in your next life." He looked at Rollin lying on the ground and muttered.
Draw your sword.
Well? I can't pull it out!
"Whew!" There was a whistling sound in the ears.
The head of the red dog is directly hit by the hammer head of the hammer of justice, and the headshot is a strong counter-kill! The powerful kinetic energy carried the corpse sideways for a short time.
Rollin, who was lying on the ground, got up and pulled out the greatsword embedded in his shoulder.
Active Evolution Stage 2! Perfect control of the flesh.
In the end, if it weren't for the second evolution of the shoulder, controlling the muscles on the shoulder to clamp the blade, the sword might have chopped off its entire shoulder.
Hungry!
He threw his head up and roared, give me meat, give me meat, the living energy is too much, and if you don't eat, the flesh may collapse.
The corners of Rollin's mouth cracked open at once, revealing the sharp white teeth that had changed inside. The extreme hunger of the body reached the snail, and the passive evolution directly opened the corners of Luo Lin's mouth, making it easier for Luo Lin to eat.
He pounced directly on the roast cow and gnawed frantically like a beast.
Jaehaerys looked ugly, Rollin was actually a wizard, and he also mastered the rare alchemy witchcraft, the two departments of creation witchcraft and body alchemy witchcraft are the worst attacks among wizards, and the power is not comparable to that at all, soul, elemental, and curse systems.
But Targaryen eats the damage of these two systems, when did the alchemy sorcery become so strong, and it can actually face off with the top knights.
Rollin devoured the beef greedily, two rows of fangs growing out of his mouth, and the adaptive ability of passive evolution made him less and less human, like some kind of ferocious carnivorous drake.
A cow thigh bone was directly bitten by Luo Lin, and it was swallowed mixed with cow bone marrow.
With the food he ate, his hunger instinct was relieved, and Rollin returned to the dueling arena, his armor somewhat deformed by the swollen muscles.
"Who else?" Luo Lin looked around, and everyone looked frightened.
His mouth was cracked open to his ears, full of sharp, jagged fangs, and the mere glance at the edge of his mouth sent chills all over his body.
The monarch and ministers of Jaehaerys also fell into an eerie silence, there was no point in comparing it any further, this fang could not be cured at all.
Just as Jaehaerys was about to announce the attack of the Great Army.
A soft female voice rang out in the silence.
"How about I!"
Well? A voice came from behind him.
Rollin turned his head to look at it, only to feel smoke in his eyes, it was the water dancer, Rifka.
