��ͷ�}̑P�k�(v�; i {4[} 1S mz / 3 9P ַ ZD 7ڴl-1NB آ Stark keeps an eye on Tywin Lannister.

Could this be Jaime Lannister?

If it really were James, Ed wasn't afraid.

But if it's a transfigurative James?

Ed's fight with Tywin is just a psychological tactic to boost morale, not a real fight.

What if the current Tywin is not Tywin?

Jaime who can change his appearance at will?

If it's true - Ed forced Jaime to leave Cersei and asked him to go to the Wall to be a night watchman, and finally forced Jaime to leave Westeros, but instead created Jaime's supernormal abilities, which he was unwilling to accept, it was cruel!

Ed looked at his opponent carefully, and Tywin in front of him was tall and slender, with broad shoulders, and a crimson helmet with no mask down.

His eyes were cold, his lips were pursed, his temples were thick with a golden beard, and his pale green eyes were also dotted with gold. Dressed in crimson armor, on the shoulders on the left and right are two lions carved out of gold. His horses were also covered with chain mail, and their faces were masked.

Ed noticed that his opponent's sword was not a narrow sword, but a half-long sword.

A two-handed sword is also a heavy sword, but it is not flexible to hold a sword with a two-handed sword on a horse, so horse battles are almost always one-handed swords. A sword that is longer than a one-handed sword but shorter than a two-handed sword is called a one-and-a-half sword.

One hand and a half sword and one hand to make it require superior arm strength.

There are very few people like Magic Mountain who wield their two-handed swords with one hand at will.

War horse duel, one hand and a half sword has taken advantage of the weapon.

Eddard Stark's Valyrian steel sword is not a half-sword.

A one-and-a-half sword has an advantage on a warhorse, and if it is a foot fight, of course, it is a two-handed sword that has the advantage, but the speed will be slower - this is a limitation caused by holding a sword with both hands, and the attack surface is not as wide as a one-handed sword.

Tywin can use a one-and-a-half sword with one hand, which is not what Eddard knows.

Tywin's swordsmanship is good, but he is over fifty years old, and Jaime is about the same age as Eddard Stark, with the same physical strength.

Tywin's eyes were as sharp as a sword, and he looked Eddard Stark up and down, and said, "Lord Eddard, you were afraid that I would kill you, so you cut your right wrist first?"

Eddard Stark wears a white bandage around his right wrist.

Ed snorted coldly, choked out the Empty Lady, and pointed at Tywin: "If you want to fight, then fight!"

Tywin looked at Ed with idiotic eyes, showing pity: "Lord Eddard, it's your dueling book, I'm fighting, not I'm going to fight!"

"Draw your sword!" Ed shouted.

Tywin didn't draw his sword, and looked at Eddard Stark coldly, "When did you become a left-handed sword?"

Ed said, "I can win you with my left hand." ”

Tywin said coldly, "Okay, I'll fulfill you!"

Choke!

He pulled out the long sword at his waist - one and a half swords - in fact, this kind of sword still looked a little longer on the horse, and it was not strong if it was not a master-the long sword was unsheathed, and Tywin lightly pulled a few sword flowers and headed straight for Eddard.

The shouts of soldiers on both sides exploded, tens of thousands of people shouted, and the sound of gongs and drums also shook the heavens and the earth.

Eddard controls the reins of his horse with his right hand, and slashes at Tywin with his sword in his left hand. Tywin didn't block, leaning over, his sword slashing over his head. Tywin's and Eddard's horses staggered, and the two sides swapped places.

"Your sword is too slow!" Tywin said nonchalantly, his face expressionless.

Eddard Stark shuddered in his heart, could it be that his agitation method was useless, if this man was really Jaime, he would never insist on a duel when his right hand was injured.

In front of the armies of the four lands, a duel against a man who could not wield a sword with his right hand was not a martial victory, and he was also despised by the knights.

Although Jaime is a notorious kingkiller, he has the arrogance of a knight!

However, Tywin not only accepted the humiliation of his sword in his left hand, but also took the initiative to attack.

With a sword in his left hand, anyone could see that Eddard Stark's movements were stiff, and without a duel, he had already lost the duel, losing his own life, and losing this war.

A cold sweat broke out on Ed's back!

He said lightly, "Lord Tywin, no matter how horses fight or foot battles, I am not afraid. He yelled, urging the horse to charge at Tywin, who stabbed Tywin in the chest.

Tywin rode his horse to greet him, his body slightly to the side, and the sword pierced into the air. The heads of the horses of the two warhorses intersected, and the heads of the horses of the Tywin horses slammed into the heads of the Ed horses, and the Ed horses took half a step back, let go of the impact, and immediately counterattacked.

Lady Ed Empty slashed.

Tywin leaned back, his body supple, almost entirely clinging to his horse's back, Eddard's slash swept by. Tywin stabbed back as he stood, his horse in lockstep with his master, his head flicking and slamming into Eddard's neck.

Bite!

Tywin's thrust was lightning fast, striking Eddard's Empty Lady blade. The power of Eddard's horizontal slash was added to the new force of this thrust, and she couldn't hold it back, and the Lady of Silence slashed back, almost hitting her left arm.

Ed's horse under his crotch was also headbutted by Tywin's heavily armored horse, and he took a few steps back, and the horse neighed in pain.

The knight soldiers of the Western Frontier shouted together in the city and under the city, but the alliance forces of the three places were silent, and the war drums did not know when they had stopped.

Ed controls the horse's sword, Tywin kicks the spur hard, and the horse hurts and rushes towards Eddard.

Amid the shouting and drumming of the Western army, Tywin stabbed several swords in the blink of an eye, the first of which stabbed Eddard in the face, as fast as a silver light. Lady Eddard Silence blocked, but this stab was just a false move, it was to lure Eddard's sword away, Eddard's sword raised to block, Tywin's sword suddenly sank, a sword hit Ed's chest, the tip of the sword stabbed into the armor, making a loud sound of gold and iron, and the armor sunk a small pit inward.

Eddard scrambled his sword to knock it, but Tywin's sword was withdrawn, and the knock fell again.

"Your sword is too slow, and neither can the horse!" Tywin sneered, and the two horses intersected again, and the silver light flashed, and the long sword stabbed Eddard's horse's head, and the horse neighed, and suddenly the man stood up, poof, and with two pops, Tywin's sword slanted upward, and pierced Eddard's horse in the neck twice in the blink of an eye, the movement was too fast, and it seemed to others that it was just a stab.

Eddard rolled and fell off his horse, rolling on the ground, and stood up, and with a soft clang, Tywin's horse ran past Eddard, the tip of a half-long sword on his throat armor.

Rumble!

Ed's horse fell, sending a cloud of dust into the air.

Tywin's steed had run away, standing ten feet away from Eddard, choking and sheathing his sword.

The tens of thousands of troops of the three-place coalition seemed to be all suffocated, and there was no sound.

The army of the western frontier, above and below the city, cheered.

It was so far away that everyone thought Eddard's throat had been pierced by Tywin's stab.

Ed was stunned and said astringently, "You won!"

"When will your right hand heal?" Tywin didn't care.

"Three days!"

"I give you seven days, and after seven days, you and I will duel here, in the ancient way, to end this battle, and I will allow you to use the Acting Knight. ”

Eddard was overjoyed, but his face was still as cold and grim as the frozen ground of the North, and no one could tell his inner emotions from his face: "Lord Tywin, there is a giant Tyron Ash in our army, no one can beat him, you can think about it!"

"Whoever it is!" Tywin said lightly.

Ed no longer had the slightest suspicion that this person was James Lannister. After he will change shape, his swordsmanship will be more superb, but the arrogance in his heart has not changed.

"It's a deal!" Ed said coldly. Even if his horse was killed and his people were defeated, his momentum did not decline at all. Tywin couldn't catch any glimpse of his mood swings either.

"It's a deal!"

Eddard Stark turned and left.

In the army of the Western Frontier, there was a chorus of boos, and all kinds of ridicule and humiliation were overwhelming.

"Lord Eddard!' Tywin shouted.

Eddard paused, turned, and looked at Tywin.

"For the sake of me sparing your life, please be kind to Cersei and her children. ”

"I don't bully women and children, they don't get humiliated by other people, and I don't lack the same manners and life as I should. ”

Tywin nodded, "Lord Eddard, I believe in you!"

Eddard took a deep look at Tywin, who knew that he couldn't fight him with his left sword, but he chose to make a move, and let himself go after winning to show favor, all of which he did more because he was afraid that Cersei would suffer.

Ed strode towards his camp. The captain of the guard, Jory Kesso, rushed out with the guards on horseback and came to greet them, and the guards led the empty horses.

Stafford Lannister is Tywin's brother-in-law and cousin, and his sister Joanna Lannister is Tywin Lannister's wife.

After the outbreak of war and Tywin and 15,000 elite soldiers were burned by the Red Witch Melisandre in the forests of Lake of Tears, Stafford Lannister summoned the young men of Lannisport and Castle Rock to join the army, and in a short time, gathered a team of 10,000 recruits to train recruits in Oxford, not far from Castle Rock.

Although the Western Frontier Army was defeated, and the combined forces of the three places subdued the Hejian Land and lost the terrain like a broken bamboo, the Golden Tooth City was built on the avenue in the middle of the mountain range, the terrain was steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the Golden Tooth City was not broken, and the Western Frontier was free to sit back and relax.

Stafford Lannister trained recruits day and night, and later Kevon Lannister returned to the West, where he drew a team of veterans from the Golden Tooth City to train the recruits.

Adam Malbran, the heir and eldest son of the Malblane family, the first archery in the West, was tasked with becoming the head coach of the Oxford Town recruits.

Adam Malbran's father's aunt was the wife of James' grandfather, Tytos, Adam Malbran's archery skills were first-rate and cautious, and like his cousin Jaime, he was born with the natural temperament of a leader. The knights and soldiers under their command did not need much agitation, they all volunteered to follow them in battle.

Adam was Tywin's most respected Scout Captain, the Eye of an Army, and a military talent as brilliant as Blackfish Brynden Tully, both of whom Eddard Stark had appointed as a Scout Captain.

Oxfordtown is a small town, but the terrain is flat enough for training recruits. When Adam arrived with his own soldiers, he first arranged three rounds of scouts, constantly squeezing the surrounding situation day and night to prevent accidents.

But only a few days later, his scouts were recalled by Stevier Lannister's order, and Adam Malbran was also taken to the Chinese tent by Stever's knights, and was strictly ordered by Steffer not to send scouts to sentry again, the Golden Tooth City is impregnable, and the three coalition forces cannot conquer the Golden Tooth City, so it is impossible to come to Oxford, and the threat on the coastal side comes from the Iron Islands, and the king of the Iron Islands, Baron Greyjoy, is an ally in the west.

Adam Malbran resigned himself to the fact that Steffer Lannister would not send scouts again, and would only concentrate on training the 10,000 recruits. Steffer's military prowess was mediocre, but he was superior in status and power to Adam Malbran, and he hated Adam for sending scouts to the east without his permission, and laying useless outposts on the avenue and in the nearby woods.

Adam's actions were ridiculed by the noble knights, and his top boss Steve was very unhappy, and he thought that maybe he was too cautious, so he stopped insisting.

The western mountain range is steep, and there is only one avenue in and out, but it is cut off by the Golden Tooth City in the center, and there is indeed no soldier in the rear of Kaiyan City, Oxford Town.

*

The infantry's battle platoon was trained, it was already dark, and the soldiers were all paralyzed on the ground.

Bang Bang Bang!

The captains' whips sounded, and at the same time, an emergency assembly order sounded throughout the training ground, and a new military order was issued, and night combat training was to be held in the evening.

In order to be able to fight as soon as possible, Adam Malbran stepped up his time every day to train new recruits, and the infantry was training in the morning for sword skills in the queue and in the afternoon for the change of the battle formation. The archers are training in battle formations and archery, changing formations, marching in and out of formations, and so on.

10,000 recruits: 3,000 spearmen, 3,000 sword and shield men, 3,000 archers, 1,000 cavalry.

Four legions, 10,000 recruits, train hard every day.

Sir Tywin and Cayvon gave Adam Malbran three months to train the recruits, while Adam gave himself only two months.

Robb Stark, Will, and Arya sat high on the top of a low hill, watching the torch on the training ground shine as bright as day.

The cavalry legions, spear legions, sword and shield men, and archers of the western frontier all practiced their night combat skills in their respective training grounds—the cavalry legions were divided into two opposing legions, practicing charging and defending, flanking and counter-outflanking...... The spearmen were training the formation's forward, backward, turning, retreating...... The sword and shield soldiers are practicing battles, outflanking, charging formations, and defensive formations...... The archers drew their bows and released their arrows again and again in the sound of the command of 'ready, release', and the rain of arrows fired by the longbow rained round after round......

"Lord Will, Adam Malbran is a military talent. Robb · Stark said. He thought about cherishing his talents.

"Tonight's night raid, order everyone to capture Adam Malblane alive. Will said.

"What if he resists? We'll have to kill a few more of our brothers. Arya said.

Robb and Will both laughed, and Robb said, "Little sister, after they finish training tonight, everyone will sleep like a dead man." ”

In the grass not far from under the trees, a few pheasant cries sounded.

"Angay is telling us it's time for a shift, let's go down. Will said.

"Good!" said Robb Stark.

In the entire low hills and dense forests in the rear, there is a thousand-strong elite army of the north and the Great Wall that is sleeping soundly.
