The tactics used by James were very simple and clever, at least in the eyes of the guests watching the battle. This tactic was said to be simple because many knights with rich combat experience had already demonstrated their amazing power after Gao Yuan

, and would choose to do this before showing flexibility.

Although this is a very simple tactic, when different people use it to deal with different opponents, the final results are often different.

Usually when James deals with those big enemies, he usually keeps a certain safe distance from them. After all, in a swordsmanship competition, the enemy can use more than just the long sword in his hand. If the two are too close to each other,

, if the other party pulls out a dagger or reaches out to pinch your neck, you can easily put yourself in danger.

However, James did not choose to do this in this competition with Gao Yuan. Instead, he chose to stick almost completely close to Gao Yuan's body. The closest distance between the two was less than one punch, which fully restricted Gao Yuan.

range of movement and body shape rotation.

The reason why James dared to get so close to Gao Yuan was also related to the nature of this competition. He expected that Gao Yuan would not kill him in this battle, and Gao Yuan only had a stainless steel sword in his hand.

Maybe a dagger suddenly came out from somewhere. Even if he grabbed his neck, James could still break free from the opponent's control at the risk of injury. This was James' brilliance.

If nothing else goes wrong, after James enters Gao Yuan's hand range, Gao Yuan, whose arm movement space and attack methods are restricted, will be in a hard fight in front of James's violent attack methods, and

You will soon fall into a disadvantage and become defeated.

In the initial stage of the battle, just as the guests expected, Gao Yuan's attacks were constantly restrained by James who entered the range of his hand. When Gao Yuan waved the weapon in his hand, he was often hit by James' shoulder or

The elbow was blocked.

Even after James entered the range of his hand, as he continued to dodge, the sword in Gao Yuan's hand could not reach the corner of the opponent's clothes at all.

But even so, the situation Gao Yuan is currently facing is not as unbearable as James and others expected. If it were other opponents, I am afraid that at this time, they would have become a little impatient or panic due to being unable to attack for a long time. They seemed to be trapped.

Gao Yuan, who was fighting hard, did not show any signs of panic in the face of James's violent attacks. On the contrary, he seemed to be somewhat at ease. No matter how tricky the angle of James' attack was, Gao Yuan was easily blocked every time.

"You seem to be very good at this kind of personal attack."

Gao Yuan's gentle voice sounded in James' ears, which made James feel a little shocked. You must know that they had already fought for dozens of rounds at this time. Even James himself, who prided himself on having excellent physical strength, could not help but feel a little shocked.

His breath was already somewhat disturbed, but Gao Yuan acted as if he was walking in the garden.

Does he still have some reservations about his strength?

A trace of doubt arose in the mind of the Kingslayer, and a bad premonition suddenly surged into his heart. This also caused the adrenaline in his body to begin to secrete rapidly, instantly flowing through his limbs and bones.

James' body began to tremble uncontrollably. It was a natural reaction of the body under the influence of adrenaline. He didn't know how long it had been since he had experienced this feeling of full strength. He felt

My blood began to boil.

In the excited state, the Kingslayer's attacks became more and more sharp. Not only did the frequency of attacks increase, but when the weapons between the two collided, Gao Yuan felt that the power transmitted from the Kingslayer's weapons also increased by at least two.

become.

But all this is in vain. Gao Yuan has decided to end this battle. So what if the Kingslayer explodes? In terms of strength, can he compare to Gao Yuan with the blessing of [Dragon Heart]? In terms of agility,

In terms of speed and attack speed, can he keep up with Gao Yuan who uses the elf swordsmanship?

The answer is yes, he will soon taste the taste of despair, because Gao Yuan has already begun to fight back. Faced with the violent attack of the Kingslayer, Gao Yuan just raised his hand and forced the opponent to stop.

.

The fine steel long sword, which was already full of gaps, just blocked the gold-plated long sword in James' hand. James knew that he could not compete with Gao Yuan in terms of strength, so he immediately prepared to draw the weapon with his backhand, but was blocked by the fine steel sword in Gao Yuan's hand.

The guard of the long sword was stuck, and no matter how hard James tried, he could not free it.

Gao Yuan repeated his old trick and kicked James away. James, who rolled several times, finally got up from the ground, and what followed was a thunderous counterattack from Gao Yuan.

If James' attack on Gao Yuan just now was like a violent storm, then Gao Yuan's counterattack was like a thunderstorm in midsummer.

In the eyes of the surrounding guests watching the battle, Gao Yuan's figure was like a ghost in the darkness, flashing past James from time to time. No one could guess where he would appear next moment. Gao Yuan's hand

The stainless steel long sword even left blurry afterimages in the void. When you see the afterimages appearing on one side of James, in fact, the real long sword has already appeared on the other side of James.

.

This is what the guests as outsiders saw, let alone the regicide in the center of the battle. In his field of vision, Gao Yuan seemed to be like a lightning bolt surrounding him, and the long steel sword in his hand

The sword disappeared directly into the void. Only when the candlelight reflected by it shone on James' face could he be sure that it had not really disappeared.

The sword blade of the fine steel sword continuously struck the Kingslayer's vital points, including his knees, abdomen, wrists... Whenever pain came from all parts of his body, James had to bite hard.

He clenched his teeth and tried not to make a sound. If Gao Yuan had attacked his body not with the blade but with the blade, he would have been torn into pieces by Gao Yuan at this moment.

The feeling of being "military trained" by Gao Yuan is extremely painful. This pain is not only from the physical pain, but also from the dignity of the Kingslayer as a knight. At this moment, it seems as if Gao Yuan has stepped on the soil and been repeatedly ravaged. James

Gao Yuan would rather kill himself in this competition than bear this humiliation.

Jaime Lannister, who was suffering silently, was kneeling on the ground in despair and powerlessness. The gilded sword in his hand had long since fallen aside due to the severe pain in his wrist.

Gao Yuan is naturally not the kind of person who refuses to accept friendship. After all, the purpose of his competition with James today is not to humiliate or kill each other. There is no deep hatred between the two. So when James gave up resistance

After that, he immediately stopped what he was doing, and just put the gap-filled stainless steel sword across his shoulder.

"you lose!"

Gao Yuan's aura was still very calm, and he didn't look like he had just experienced a big battle.

A plain "You lose!" was like a thunder exploding in Jaime Lannister's heart. With a confused look on his face, he slowly raised his head and looked at the tall figure standing in front of him.

"you win...."

Seeing that James had given up, Gao Yuan moved the stainless steel sword away from his shoulder, smiled and stretched out his hand towards James.

Facing Gao Yuan's friendly right hand, James hesitated for a moment before finally raising his weak right hand and letting it pull him up from the ground.

"Papa..."

"Dragon Slayer...Dragon Slayer..."

"Jaime Lannister....Lannister...."

"Pa bang bang..."

This was a very exciting contest. When Gao Yuan's friendly bodyguard Jaime Lannister got up from the ground, the guests who had watched this wonderful contest began to cheer for both sides of the contest. They were full of chivalry in this contest.

During the competition, they never be stingy with their applause.

"Your swordsmanship is indeed very powerful! It is difficult to find an opponent as strong as you in Westeros." James praised sincerely, "No wonder Lord Stark hired you to be their family's swordsmanship teacher."

"You're not bad either. There aren't many people who can push me to this point!" Faced with the praise from James, Gao Yuan had no choice but to exchange business praise with him.

James couldn't help but frown when he heard this, and then whispered in Gao Yuan's ear seriously: "I know you still have some reservations about your strength, but one day I will surpass you!"

Gao Yuan glanced at the high-spirited James standing in front of him in surprise. Gao Yuan just responded to his provocation with a bright smile. Gao Yuan did not want to hurt the other person's self-confidence.

"The king will hold a grand tourney to celebrate Lord Stark's coming to King's Landing to serve as Prime Minister. Will you go to participate?" James asked, "I hope you can go to participate. I would like to meet you again then."

You discuss."

"Maybe, if I was in King's Landing at that time, I would consider it." Gao Yuan did not directly agree to James' invitation.

"Jaime!" King Robert, who had just enjoyed a wonderful contest, looked very excited. This time, for the first time, he did not call Jaime the regicide. "It's time for you to fulfill your promise."

At this time, Eddard Stark stood up and told King Robert: "There is a temple outside the hall..."

"That's really troublesome. Do I have to wait for our dragon slayer to return from vigil in the temple all night before canonizing him?" King Robert interrupted Ed's speech impatiently, "Everything

Keep it simple!"

"It's not like there is no such precedent among the Seven Kingdoms. I can't wait to see our dragon slayer, as a knight, present the sword that once killed the evil dragon in front of me."

"But..."

Ed wanted to say something more, but King Robert just waved his hand to stop him from continuing.

"Let the ceremony begin!" Robert waved his hand and directly announced the start of Gao Yuan's enthronement ceremony.

Jaime nodded after receiving King Robert's order, picked up the gilded sword he had just dropped in the battle from the ground, and then walked solemnly in front of Gao Yuan.

Gao Yuan did not hesitate, and immediately prepared to kneel down on one knee to accept the canonization from James, but before he could kneel down, he was pulled up by James: "You have defeated me in the competition just now, as a contestant

When the winner accepts the canonization from the defeated, he does not need to kneel down to the canonized person."

"Gao Yuan, the dragon slayer from Essos across the strait, I grant you the status of a knight in the name of Ser Jaime Lannister, the eldest son of the Lannister family of Casterly Rock, Kingsguard of the Keeper of the Realm."

Jaime Lannister raised the gilded sword in his hand, put it on Gao Yuan's right shoulder and continued:

"In the name of a warrior I ask you to be brave."

After reading out the name of the warrior, James put the long sword in his hand on Gao Yuan's left shoulder:

"In the name of our Heavenly Father I demand justice from you."

Return to the right shoulder again and continue reading:

"In the name of Our Lady I ask you to protect the weak and the innocent."

After reading the name of the Virgin, James finally put the long sword on Gao Yuan's left shoulder:

"In the name of girls I ask you to protect all women."

When the conferment ceremony was over, James took back the gilded sword and stood in front of him and said: "The conferment ceremony is over, Sir Gao Yuan! Now you have become a real knight. I hope you will not fall for me, James."

Lord M. Lannister and your own name as a knight, firmly abide by and practice the knightly virtues set for you by the Seven Gods today."

The guests attending this dinner tonight watched this sacred canonization ceremony quietly,

Gao Yuan did not hesitate, and immediately prepared to kneel down on one knee to accept the canonization from James, but before he could kneel down, he was pulled up by James: "You have defeated me in the competition just now, as a contestant
