Chapter 21 Hunter and Prey

Forty or so Lannister soldiers galloped in six groups, intending to surround the ferocious prey hiding in the woods.

James, who was directing from the side, was very unhappy.

Joffrey had already sacrificed two brave and loyal soldiers to Joffrey's wayward demands.

"Success or no success, Joffrey, we must continue on our way tomorrow morning. Even if you beg your mother again."

Joffrey was in a good mood.

"With the abilities of these warriors, I believe it won't take that long. Besides, isn't it a great honor to hunt such a beast?"

A good hunter can track the movements of his prey, and a well-trained professional army is enough to pose a threat.

It can't run away.

Thinking of the behemoth he had glimpsed before, James certainly understood how much of a stir it would be if he succeeded.

"Humph!"

He drew out his golden sword, "Glory must be won by myself, I will not watch soldiers die."

James charged up on his steed.

Joffrey didn't move.Not being able to use magic openly, he not only does not help, but distracts the soldiers' attention.

"Sandor, do you want to go too?"

The Hound rode the Stranger to Joffrey's side.

"Your Highness. The monster may rush out of the encirclement. My position is here."

Joffrey smiled, and continued to look at the deep woods ahead.Among the peaceful green trees, he seems to have seen the bloody fight between wild beasts and human beings.

Giant mountain lion, don't die...

The atmosphere in the woods has almost stagnated, and the beasts and birds have long since fled the arena.

The majestic giant lion born in the mountains of the western region kept roaring loudly, pouring out the wrath of the king of the mountains on all enemies who dared to offend.

It is a born king.

When it was born, it was accompanied by flames, and its body was twice as big as that of ordinary lion cubs. The lioness exhausted the fire of life before it was born.

Fortunately, the lions did not give up on it, even though its food intake was equal to six or seven brothers.

It also deserves such treatment.

In just one year, it surpassed the strongest lion king in size.

After a suspenseful duel, it became the new leader of the lion group, and the lion group has been invincible ever since.

Flame works great.

It wants to breed several offspring as powerful as itself, but the cubs born by the lionesses are very ordinary.

Later it never had a chance to try again.

Nasty monkey!When he came back from hunting once, he saw his lions fell to the ground with blood and flesh, all their fur was gone, and even a few younger brothers lost their heads on their necks!
A hairless monkey in a shiny hard rock!

It found them quickly.

With claws, fangs, and flames, it tastes their flesh and fear in the mountains and forests.

It got its revenge.

But in the next ten years, it never found a companion.

It didn't expect that the "similar" it found this time following its own perception turned out to be a monkey.It wanted to go back to the mountain, but was besieged by monkeys again.

Forty or so monkeys on horseback were different from that time.

It found the right time to shoot two monkeys to death, but it didn't frighten them. Instead, it was inserted into the body by three branches with hard stones.

It roared and glanced around.

Soldiers with bright armor gradually surrounded them.

They tried their best to control the mounts under them, and circled the lion as planned, constantly interfering with its judgment.

It's been bleeding for most of the day and won't be doing well.

Even so, the distance of nearly [-] meters still only takes one or two breaths for it. Once it gets close, the roles of prey and hunter will change at any time.

Ser James was not at all afraid.Fight, fight, fight, this is the real life.

"aim!"

The two teams of cavalry immediately drew their arrows and drew their bows. The pulling force of [-] pounds was enough to shoot through the enemy [-] meters away.

The other four teams of soldiers also raised their wound crossbows to guard.

The giant lion sensed the danger, and the enraged Beastmaster rushed out and rushed towards the most conspicuous Jaime Lannister.

"shoot!"

With a swing of the longbow, more than a dozen long arrows pierced the air and stabbed at the giant lion, three of which sank deeply into its body.

The two adjacent groups of soldiers also fired their crossbows, seven hits.

The angry giant lion didn't care, and jumped in front of James in the blink of an eye.

roar~
It leaped high and even passed directly over James' long sword held high.

As soon as James turned around, a huge beast's paw was coming towards him with a bloody wind. He quickly leaned over to dodge it, but the head of the tall horse was almost split in two by the lion's paw. Crashed to the ground.

James jumped off his horse and rolled a few times, and immediately raised his sword to the giant beast after getting up.

Another round of arrow rain flew down, and the number of arrows on the giant lion more than doubled.

"Come on!" James shouted frantically, but his eyes were extremely calm, "Now let's see who is stronger!"

The cavalry drew closer.

Who would leave Sir Jaime alone at his peril?Who wants to be thought a coward?
The giant lion is aware of his crisis.

A few more shots into the body by that shiny stone, and it's over.

The giant lion immediately gave up on James, who was the least threatening, and turned to the cavalry not far away who were drawing their bows to aim.

Within two breaths, five people were swept off their horses.

The other soldiers rushed to attack, and only six arrows hit.

roar~
There was a red light on the lion's body, and the heat seemed to dispel its pain and injuries. It caught up with two enemies, bit the head of one, and threw the other hairless monkey down.

The lion's mouth spat out flames visible to the naked eye, and the soldier only howled for a few breaths before he was burned to a roast.

James could hardly bear to rush forward to fight.

"Shoot arrows quickly! Don't kill another person, keep shooting! Until this guy can't take a step anymore!"

The pain overwhelmed the power of the fire, and the lion never overtook a monkey.

More than a dozen arrows and crossbows entered the body.

It finally couldn't hold it anymore and fell to the ground, panting heavily and sadly.

The hunters waited patiently.

After an unknown period of time, the flies began to land on the lion's wound unscrupulously, and the soldiers finally smiled excitedly and slightly bitterly.

Six lives, four people were seriously injured, and more than a dozen precious war horses were successfully exchanged for a giant mountain lion that can breathe fire.

"Warriors, this giant lion is our common glory, you are all doing well!"

Sir James was generous.

"I'll pay for it myself. Each person will be rewarded with ten golden dragons, and those who sacrificed will add another ten golden dragons to his family."

The sentimental atmosphere was swept away, and the soldiers cheered.

This is worth their income for several years, and counting the rewards from the queen and crown prince, no one can expect more.

The giant lion was sent all the way back to the convoy and locked in a newly refitted cage.

Joffrey breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the giant lion chained tightly in its cage.As long as the lion is not dead, it can be saved by the bachelor's surgery and mana restoration.

"Haha, take it to Winterfell and let Stark see my mount! How is it better than the direwolf?!"

Getting closer to King's Landing, Joffrey began to show his unpleasant persona everywhere.Even when there is no one around.

Hannah came and took his arm.

"Congratulations, Your Highness, this big guy is quite majestic, I really want to see how it runs again."

Joffrey smiled and nodded the little maid's forehead.

"Being so oblique, you just want to go to Winterfell with me. Didn't I say it yesterday, it's better for you to be in King's Landing."

Once the Narrow Sea makes a move, Varys, the spider, will definitely be alarmed, and King's Landing must have his own people.

He emphasized again, "Stay in the Red Fort and be sure to keep an eye on them."

"Believe in your own ability. When necessary, do it directly in my name. King's Landing cannot be messed up."

Hannah had to acquiesce.
