There was no suspense, the northern team finally won the melee competition, when only the northern team was left in the entire tournament field, Jon Amber Jr. was the first to withdraw, he had already won the spear championship, with a prize of 40,000 gold dragons, and there was no need to compete with his brothers to win the melee again.
Then there was Harrion Karstark, Roberto Glover, Harris Moran, Will Cao, Tyronn Ash, and finally only one person left on the field: Daisy Mormont.
The King finally announced that the Northern Team Dogfight would be the winner, and the final winner would be Daisy Mormont.
20,000 gold dragon coins, enough for Daisy Mormont to bring home to help the family develop maritime trade. And Will, because of the business of Littlefinger's brothel, is not short of money for the time being.
Bear Island is beautiful, but barren and desolate, and with 20,000 gold dragons, it is a good choice to develop fishing and seaborne trade.

Another sleepless night of carnival.
All kinds of singing celebrations and music singing were a night away, and the local and foreign prostitutes made a lot of money.
The next day was the last event of the tournament: the archery competition.
The final was between Ascend's Angery, Adam Malbran's West, and Theon Greyjoy and Big Gilly from the North.
Theon Greyjoy first faced off against Adam Malbran: Traditional archery: Raven shooting.
Raven, the Messenger of the Seven Kingdoms.
In previous wars, the most important thing that the scout archers had to do was to shoot down the ravens sent by the enemy to ensure that the enemy's message could not be transmitted.
Therefore, in archery competitions, there is a traditional practical skill derived from the military: shooting ravens.
Ravens are not strictly crows, they are bloodthirsty, eat raw meat, especially the flesh of dead people, and are highly aggressive. Except for the eagle predators, most small birds are no match for ravens. Even eagles have a very difficult time catching ravens.
Because of the preciousness of ravens and the difficulty of training, the ravens in the traditional sense of shooting ravens have been replaced by other birds.
At the beginning of the match, two of the king's attendants carried an iron cage covered with a black cloth to the middle of the arena.
The cage is full of all kinds of birds: sparrows, seabirds, snowcocks, widows, blue ornaments, red silk, phoenix tails, mountain crows, crows, cuckoos, hoopoes......
Theon Greyjoy has long been a bird shot, hunting in the wolf forest, as long as there are birds in the trees, it is impossible to escape his magic arrows.
Adam Malbran and Theon Greyjoy were on each side.
Adam was tall and handsome, Theon was short, but he was arrogant. The crotch dismounted like himself, pacing incessantly, restless for a moment.
With a bang, the attendant lifted the black cloth from the cage, and a large flock of birds crashed into the cage, and they were caught and locked up, deliberately starving for another day, in order to stimulate them to flee with all their might when they were freed.
A red silk was caught and thrown into the air, and when the bird spread its wings and flew high, Adam and Theon shot arrows at the same time, and with two sounds, the two arrows went straight to the bird, and a small arrow with a red feather tail was in the middle of the bird, and shot a pair of piercing, and the power of the arrow drove the bird to fly away from the established trajectory, so that the white feathered tail arrow shot into the air.
The crowd erupted in cheers.
If there is no red feather-tailed arrow to take the bird, the white feather-tailed arrow will also be hit.
The Red Feathertail Arrow is Adam Malbran's arrow.
Adam Malbran raised his bow and arrow in a gesture of applause. He has a good appearance, and everyone likes him.
Adam had two quivers and two bows.
To shoot birds, he uses a short bow and arrows.
As soon as the bird is released, his arrows are shot.
Short bow and hard arrows, fast and explosive, as long as the bird is shot down before it flies high in the air, it has an advantage.
Theon Greyjoy, on the other hand, uses a large bow and long arrow, which has a long range and penetrating power, but requires a longer time to draw and aim.
Theon didn't lose in archery, he lost in tactics.
Adam Malblane apparently studied tactics specifically for the specific items of the game.
Three times in a row, Adam Malblane hit the triple shot.
Theon Greyjoy was a little bit worse every time.
This made him so agitated that he whipped his horse under his crotch as if his horse had caused all his defeats.
Shooting a single bird, because Adam won three times in a row, so there was no need to compare, Adam won one point.
Then there is the double fly.
It is to release two birds at once.
This time, Adam, who was just one point ahead of Theon Greyjoy, couldn't take two birdies at once and the two sides were tied. If he shoots down a bird, Theon will shoot down too, and the time difference is not much.
So the raven shooting escalated again: three birds were released at once.
Theon Gregory shouted at Adam Malbran, "Dog, bastard, you're going to lose, you're done!" The anger in his heart finally found an outlet. He's always been a foul talker, and unless he restrains himself from swearing in front of the Duke and Duchess of Stark, he's always swearing.
Theon has always been as confident in his own abilities as a puzzle, and he has a high self-esteem, and he can't tolerate others being better than him.
He has been proficient in double arrows: draw two arrows at a time, and when he shoots the first arrow, the second arrow is pinched between his fingers, which does not affect the accuracy of his arrow, but saves the time to draw the arrow. One arrow comes out, and the other hits the bowstring without pause.
When Adam shot down a birdie with one arrow, and when he went to draw a second arrow, Theon Greyjoy gave him a melodious whistle with his bow and arrow, and before Adam could bend his bow a second time, his arrow was fired, and the white feather arrow hit the bird flying high.
Three times in a row, Theon shot down two birdies, and Adam could only watch.
The audience roared with joy!
Such superb archery skills take everyone's breath away.
Adam doesn't have the stunt of arrows. Although he was very fast, he was no faster than Theon, who drew two arrows at once. In fact, Theon can draw three arrows at a time, so as not to affect the accuracy of his shot, he only draws two arrows at a time.
Shoot three birdies and Theon beats Adam.
In three games, the two sides won one, lost one and drew one, and the total score was tied.
So the final competition began: shooting a flock of birds.
Release a flock of birds at once, maybe twenty, maybe thirty, and see who can shoot down more birds faster and more accurately before all the birds escape. At the end of the game, whoever has more arrows stuck in the bird that falls to the ground wins.
This is a craze game for shooting ravens, and few people have made it to this point, and generally in the first three games, the winner has already been decided.
"Sir Adam, do you need to compare, admit defeat!" cried Theon Greyjoy, smug.
He raised his longbow in his hand and saluted the audience, his face full of radiance, as if he had won the archery championship.
Rumble!
The cages are all open.
Whoa!
The birds are out of the cage and fly everywhere.
Those little birds also have wisdom, and when they are released, they do not blindly fly high and flee, because there are deadly arrows waiting for them, but they flee close to the ground, or fly around the cage, and some even fall on the sand, looking left and right.
The sound of arrows breaking through the air was endless, and many small birds fell from the sky with arrows.
There was no suspense, and Theon, who had two arrows in a row, defeated Adam Malbran.
Raven Shooting Tradition: Theon Greyjoy wins.
Here's a match between Adam Malbran and Theon Greyjoy in 100 steps, the arrows are specially made, and they will shatter when they hit the armor, and there is white powder on the tip of the arrow, and the game is over, and whoever has more white spots on them will lose.
Adam Greyland was a man of paramount proportions, and knowing that he could not beat Theon Greyjoy's strings, he simply abstained and conceded defeat, and in this way, Theon Greyjoy eliminated Adam Greygrain and entered the final.
Then there is the duel between Da Jili and Wang Ling Angai.
Ange appeared on a stiff horse and went straight to the King, the Queen, and the Prime Minister, and he dismounted and fell to his knees, begging the King to give him the honor of challenging both Theon Greyjoy and Big Gilly at the same time: skipping the traditional event of shooting ravens between him and Big Gilly, he was alone, and he faced off against the other two directly, and after the match, as long as he had more white spots on his body than either of them, he threw in the towel.
