Take the ride to dominate the game

Chapter 41 Leaving Home
"Come here for the whole goose meat, I'm hungry for that." Patrick yelled as soon as he sat down in the hall.

Due to the high fat content, goose is the favorite meat of nobles.

Pork is not very popular with nobles, because it is easy to get sick after eating it.

"Get him some kippers," Arthur told Amber.

Regardless of Patrick's reaction, he turned to Desmond and asked:
"I still don't know the purpose of your visit to my castle."

Although he didn't know why the heir of Haijiang City got mixed up with the little nobleman Arthur, Desmond still honestly stated his intention of coming.

"...so I hope to go to King's Landing with you to participate in the tournament. This is a letter written by Lord Edmure in the name of Guardian of the River."

Edmure presided over the affairs of the Tullys, but he was not yet the Lord of Riverrun, so orders could only come in his father's name.

The heir of Riverrun himself didn't want to go to King's Landing. Firstly, his martial arts skills were weak, and secondly, his father, Duke Hoster's condition worsened, so he had to accompany him.

Desmond handed Arthur the wax seal.

The battle nearly 20 days ago left a deep impression on him, so much so that after getting Edmure's permission to participate in the tournament, he pestered Edmure to write this letter.

Arthur took it, peeled off the trout seal, and read it carefully.

The letter is not long, and the main content is to let him participate in the new prime minister's tournament in the name of the lord. When he is away, the territory will be protected by the Tully family. Any attack on the nine villages near the Moulin Rouge during this period will be regarded as an attack on the Tully family. attack.

"You should go with me. We may not have a part in the spear riding competition, but there is still hope for team battles and bow and arrow competitions." Desmond said carelessly.

By convention, there are three events in the martial arts tournament: cavalry, bow and arrow, and group warfare.

Lance riding is the favorite game of all kinds of knights, from the Royal Guards to wealthy property knights, to wandering knights, and even warriors without the title of knights, all eager to become famous in the lance competition.

Loras Tyrell, the Knight of Flowers, is famous in the Seven Kingdoms for defeating the Kingsguard and Kingslayer Jaime Lannister with a single shot at the tourney on Joffrey's name day.

Arthur was amused at the thought of it.

On the son's name day, the father was shot by a 17-year-old young man.

As for bow and arrow competitions and team battles, anyone can participate.

If Arthur remembered correctly, the team champion this time was the red-robed monk Soros from Myr.

This person is the preacher of the King of Light. Of course, judging from his behavior, he is a flower monk with an impious belief.

Also a melee mage.

He folded the letter paper and put it on the table.

Patrick was not annoyed because he ate the goose, he smiled and said: "Go, go, you see Edmure has promised you, what else do you have to worry about."

"This letter comes at the right time, of course I will go." Arthur made up his mind.

With the promise of the Tully family, even if he wanted to come to Raventree City, he would not dare to make small moves. He could leave with confidence and go to King's Landing to participate in the tournament.

He must win the championship of the three competitions and get the [-] gold dragon bonus, so that he can have the capital to separate one side in the subsequent battle.

"With your sledgehammer, I think the team championship is already in our pocket."

Desmond had seen Arthur's sledgehammer before, and knew how powerful such a powerful armor-piercing heavy weapon was in a melee.

One hammer fell to the ground, and two hammers saw the Seven Gods.

Arthur shook his head lightly, "I think this hammer is too light. When I went to King's Landing, I was using a bigger two-handed hammer, the one the size of a pumpkin would do."

Desmond's eyes widened, feeling unbelievable, "How strong are you? Pumpkin hammer, who can withstand such a hammer?"

Patrick had never seen the scene where Arthur hammered a child, and felt that the conversation between the two was inexplicable: "What pumpkin hammer, what are you talking about."

Desmond introduced it to him: "Mr. Arthur is going to build a pumpkin-sized hammer as his weapon."

Patrick laughed when he heard this.

"You southerners are interesting to talk about. I don't think the Magic Mountain can even swing a hammer the size of a pumpkin."

Haijiang City belongs to the north in the river land, so people along the Red Fork River are naturally called southerners.

"But Mr. Arthur can dance." Desmond chose to believe the lord of the Moulin Rouge.

Patrick shook his head and giggled, taking it as a joke between the two of them.

Arthur didn't want to force him to persuade him, so he started to talk about other things.

People always believe what they want to believe.

No amount of words would count until Patrick saw his power.

Soon, the dinner was served, and the three of them and their followers rested after eating.

The castle is small, Patrick and Desmond can sleep in the guest room, and the entourage can only sleep outside the castle.

Fortunately, there are enough tents to accommodate them.

……

The next morning, the lobby.

"...we must build this kind of long spear. I bought some farm tools for the gun head and used it to fight it myself. In addition, I also need to build more large shields. After the village is completed, adult males will gather and participate in military training. The war is coming. They also have to be prepared."

Arthur repeated his order several times, and Amber wrote it down on paper.

He has already ordered Amber and Benji, the bachelor of Alan City, to preside over the construction of the stockade and the manufacture of weapons and armor, while Javier, an officer of the Defense Force of Shili City, is responsible for training the militia.

With the guarantee from the Tully family, Blackwood is no longer a problem. After the stronghold is formed, his subjects are much safer, and there is no need to worry about going there.

This has been going for at least a month, and there is nothing wrong with giving detailed instructions.

After the steady and mature Desmond expressed his boredom, Arthur finally decided to leave.

He left [-] gold dragons for the daily expenses of the project, and if there is not enough, he will issue an IOU, and we will talk about it when he comes back.

Like Patrick, Arthur also brought four followers, Jules, soldier Pip, personal servant Meydan, and stable boy Barton.

Of course, this stable boy is not a boy, he has grown up.

Five people from Arthur's side, six people from Patrick's side, and nine people from Desmond's side, a total of 20 people, set off here.

Years later, when Arthur Bracken, the "King of Benevolence", became famous throughout Westeros, people always liked to talk about when Arthur started his road to becoming a king.

And most people believe that it was his trip to King's Landing that put him on the road to dominance.

From Last Hearth to Dorne, his notoriety is well known.

From Lannister Harbor to Dragonstone, his evil deeds are known to all.

Enemies tremble at his name, and his people are proud of Arthur, for he is their king.
