Game of Thrones: Wrath of the Sleeping Dragon

The latest website: Then another half a month passed, and this session of the competition officially began.

There was a lot of traffic in the city of Jun's Landing, and people who had nothing to do and wanted to watch the fun rushed to the venue of the competition.

"It's finally starting!"

"I heard that Her Majesty the Queen will bring the two princes and the princess to the scene today."

The crowd was noisy and chattering non-stop, and the venue for the competition was also set up in King's Landing City, located outside the "First Ring" city wall to the "Second Ring" city wall, a newly developed piece of land in the empire.

This is actually the venue for the tournament in the time of King Robert.

Because King's Landing has undergone three expansions, the external land resources are rich, and there is no shortage of land resources and an inch of land like the inner city.

Therefore, after municipal planning, a school field with enough capacity for 10,000 people was rebuilt in advance on the original site where King Robert held the competition meeting. It will be used to carry a series of large-scale events such as victory parade and competition meeting in the future. It will be used as a competition venue on weekdays. Open to the public.

And it played a real role for the first time in carrying this competition.

"Set off!"

"You must come back with a victory today!"

The knights from all over the country are all gearing up, eagerly preparing to show their skills in the competition.

"Lord Dickon Tully is unparalleled and will definitely achieve a good result."

"You can't talk too much."

A group of knights from the Reach gathered to chat, the young heir of the Horn Hill heard the praise of his companions and hurriedly shook his head humbly, and then couldn't help turning his head to look behind.

His eldest brother, Samwell Tully, did not approve of his younger brother coming to compete for the Kingsguard spot because it was dangerous, but Dickon didn't think so.

My father disappeared on the battlefield, and there was no one alive or dead, no corpse. I once had a thought, but after so many years, there was no news, and this thought was broken. Randall Tully should have turned into a dragon under the flames of the dragon. fly ash.

With the fall of the famous general of the river bay, the elder brother Samwell inherited the position of Earl of Jiaoling with the support of his mother, and the Tully family of Jiaoling gradually declined, living up to the glory of the past, the family's private soldier Many were also abolished.

But the eldest brother Samwell Tully did not ask, he devoted himself to the study of books, and obtained the bachelor's link. If he had obtained the bachelor's link in the past, he would have given up the secular title, but now the academy has been demolished. If it is divided, the old rules will naturally disappear.

Therefore, Dickon was anxious in his eyes. He had to take responsibility and revive the glory of the family. This time, competing for the spot of the Kingsguard was the best chance.

"Definitely win!"

Then the burly young knight clenched his fist slightly, encouraged himself, and said to himself.

Because this competition is for the selection of the Kings Guards, which requires both loyalty and bravery, the threshold for participating in the competition is set at the noble family members of the knight class and above.

Loyalty is more important than martial arts, and some decent mercenaries and wandering knights are not eligible to participate in this competition.

However, even so, the number of people in this tournament broke the previous record. The largest number of people in the tournament held during King Robert's time was only one or two hundred people.

This time, the threshold was limited to knights, but more than a thousand knights and nobles came from all over the country.

There are even some lords in one place, and they don't want to be a good noble master, but they come to compete for the spot of the Royal Guard.

The same is true of the knights who can be village chiefs in the outside world. They can make a fortune in the countryside, but when they came to King's Landing, they found that there are more knights than dogs here. A brick can be thrown down and three knights can be smashed. .

The main reason for this phenomenon is that Viserys lowered the threshold of knighthood, and he sent many knighthood titles in batches to boost morale in the war to conquer Westeros.

And he did it not only to boost morale, but also to dilute the power of the nobles.

Therefore, King's Landing now holds a contest to select the Kingsguard, and the number of knights gathered from all over the country is enough to reach a thousand people.

And if so many people compete two by two, they don't know what year and month they will fight, so the first audition of this competition will be a team fight.

Every 50 people is a match, which is divided into two camps, and 25 people from one camp are randomly screened, and then freely choose their weapons, which are all wooden blunt spears, long swords, and wooden bows and arrows, and even horses can be chosen.

Although these wooden weapons cannot completely prevent casualties, participating in the competition actually requires preparing for injury or even death. Wooden weapons can minimize casualties as much as possible and protect the knights participating in the competition.

In fact, the number of fifty people is also considered. In addition to ensuring the efficiency of the audition, it is also necessary to try to ensure that the individual ability shines on the group battlefield, otherwise it will go against the original intention of this competition.

The battle of twenty-five versus twenty-five people is neither too much nor too little. The knights with strong personal ability still have the opportunity to lead the team to break through the siege and defeat the opponent by themselves.

Otherwise, if the scale of the battlefield expands and becomes 50 people against 50 people, or even 100 people fight against a hundred people in groups, then no matter how strong the knight is, even the rebirth of 'Dawn Excalibur' Arthur Dayne will not be enough. Unable to change the battlefield situation, knights with extremely strong personal ability may be buried in the team competition.

Therefore, after taking into account the above considerations, plus the need to take into account the efficiency of the audition, do not delay the audition for too long, and finally set the group battle as a battlefield of fifty people.

Today, more than 1,000 imperial knights need to hold more than 20 team battles. On average, they can hold about five games a day. It takes four to five days to complete the audition.

The audition, as the name suggests, is to screen out many people, and a four-to-five-day group battle can screen out more than half of the people.

Because injuries and even death are inevitable in team battles, some people will choose to quit halfway even if they win. After eliminating these 500 people, there are about 500 remaining knights left.

The number of these 500 people is also too much, so UU reading www.uukanshu.com must also use team competition to screen out half of the people.

But the second team competition will not continue to use the 50-person battlefield, but will be reduced to a 20-person team competition, which is a 10-person versus 10-person competition.

In this way, you can give full play to your personal strength without being too affected by the level of your teammates.

The twenty-five rounds of the second round of the team competition also required several days of competition. Including the injured and abandoned players, there were probably more than 200 knights left in the end.

These more than 200 knights are considered to have entered the finals and participate in the real competition. At that time, they will be assessed in three aspects: horse combat, foot combat and archery, and the top ten with the best overall results will be selected.

Afterwards, the imperial family will select the places for the Kingsguard from these ten people, taking into account loyalty, bravery, responsibility and force, regardless of the ranking.

The Kingsguard doesn't have to be a champion, but loyalty is more important. Although there are now five places, it's better to be short than to waste.
