Titus walked slowly to the center of the square, looking at the three people who came to challenge one by one.
Finally, he fixed on the only middle-aged knight with a sword and the Corbray family crest, and said with a smile, "I heard that before you came to me, you were talking bad about me in the market outside the Golden Bowl Gate? What, Corbray of Heart's Home--do you really want to compete with me?"
Fight with me, do you have the strength?"
In Titus's eyes, the opponent's move was not a "competitive" spirit of "never giving up", but simply a bit of self-inflicted sin, and he was going to die.
The knight holding the sword hesitated, not daring to acknowledge the fact that "Starpike Earl said bad things in front of the city gate" to embolden himself and others, he just bit the bullet and replied, "We came with a family mission, and we must return to the patriarch's "Lady Forlorn"."
"Heh."
Titus sneered. He regarded the other party's actions as a provocation to himself.
It was like Wu Dalang finished drinking the medicine and wanted to refill it - he didn't know whether to live or die!
After Zhu Youxiao drank "Xianfang Linglu", he wanted to row a boat and play again - he was tired of it!
Last time, I had just told the Corbray knight whose neck was slashed that he was an unqualified person - don't embarrass yourself.
Unexpectedly, the other party either didn't listen, or the Heart's Home Earl, whom he had never met before, didn't take it seriously. He found that he couldn't defeat him in a one-on-one fight, so he just wanted to play a wheel battle?
He actually found so many cats and dogs to come to the castle and waste his leisure time.
What a sin!
He doesn't know that he is responsible for the six cities and the entire Dornish Marches. Is he usually very busy?
I don't have time to mess around with them.
Facing this second batch of Heart's Home visitors, Titus was really a little impatient.
He decided to solve this problem once and for all.
Without waiting for the sword-wielding knight to forcefully explain, he took the Orphan-Maker, which seemed to be able to attract light, from the excited-looking attendant Galdon, and said to the trio who were about to say something, "Okay, let's hurry up, and you guys can come together."
With that said, Titus, who did not take the other three seriously at all, turned to the two attendants and lectured. "The last time was a practical teaching guide. This time, I will go one step further and teach you how to kill people. This is not the same as the usual sword fighting drills."
As soon as he finished speaking, Titus faced the ugly expressions on the three other people's faces and stepped forward to greet them.
Galdon was left still thinking carefully about his words.
Sir Goodwin, the Evenfall Hall coach who once taught him, once said something similar, "It's one thing to train with a blunt sword in the yard, but it's another thing to pierce someone's belly with a long sword in your hand and watch the light in the other person's eyes gradually disappear."
Gardon promptly shared this insight with Jero beside him, and the young people all seemed to understand.
They have never killed anyone with their own hands.
Titus knows very well: Once you have tasted death under the blade of a sword, you will no longer be so afraid of it.
These principles need to be experienced by them personally in order to have a true concept and understanding. Now, he can give them some examples first.
The speed and action frequency of Titus are astonishingly fast.
Apparently two years have passed and he, already in his early twenties, is still making progress.
Seeing that the three people on the other side of him were fighting at his will, they had just panicked and got into stance. Titus had already rushed towards the thick-armored man with a shield on his left and a hammer on his right.
The strong man only had time to strike once, and then had no chance to make any follow-up moves.
Calmly dodging the roaring meteor hammer, the Little Orphan sword in Titus's hand pierced the shield on the outside of the opponent's left hand. The blade penetrated the round shield, and together with the shield, which did not play its intended role at all, brutally nailed the opponent's left arm to the bottom of his left rib.
The shield, arms, and torso were continuously pierced by the long black sword that thirsted for blood.
"Ah, the severe pain caused the strong man playing with the hammer to let out a heart-rending scream, and he wanted to take back the hammer he had hit.
Titus The lower edge of his left palm, which was covered with a leather glove, came up like lightning from bottom to top, hitting his jaw hard.
The roaring stopped and the noise stopped.
The explosive external force impact almost directly cracked the strong man's mandible. The force was transmitted to the strong man's cerebellum and brainstem through the displaced mandible, causing temporary impairment of brain function and causing shock on the spot.
Titus's eyes were cold, and he suddenly withdrew the extremely sharp black sword from the opponent's body, left arm, and shield, and then with a simple horizontal slash, he chopped off the strong man's big head.
Before the man's headless body fell to the ground, Titus's figure was as fast as lightning, like a ghost, "flashing" in front of the second knight at high speed.
The heavy ax knight was shocked by the vicious attack of black Earl, but his vision blurred for a moment. When he recovered, Earl in black was already in front of him.
Titus, who was facing him head-on, grinned, with a mocking and bloodthirsty smile on his handsome face. He didn't know which one was faster, the mocking or his sword?
Under the stress reaction, the knight who had just raised the heavy ax with both hands felt a chill in his heart. He lowered his head and realized that a dark and vicious sword twisting left and right had unknowingly inserted into his body and was crushing the heart in his chest----
Plop!
The previous headless corpse had just fallen.
Titus grabbed the stunned knight's axe, turned around and swung it out with an exaggerated and violent gesture, shocking the sword-wielding knight Corbray who was trying to sneak attack from the side and jumped back.
After throwing down the heavy axe, Titus took a "European step" that shook the opponent's center of gravity, and continued to change directions in a zigzag shape, finally passing by the opponent's sword-holding figure.
There was a muffled sound of "Poof!", and after the Meteor Hammer Knight, the bodies of the Heavy Ax Knight finally fell to the ground.
Titus, who was in a slashing posture, put away his smile and stood up in a bored manner.
The Corbray knight behind him also began to stagger. First he dropped his sword, and then he could no longer cover the huge wound on his chest. The warm liquid "swished" and splashed an arc of blood in the air in front of his body.
The man snorted lowly, but also didn't have the chance to leave any last words. He just "stepped aside" and simply fell forward.
Black Earl seemed to have played a round of KOF, defeating the challenger whose courage was far greater than his strength, easily defeating three.
I gave you a chance, but it's a pity that you didn't use it.
This time, Titus will not be as polite as the last time.
Otherwise, next time we come back, it will be a one-on-one battle.
Just kidding, Titus just chose his wife, and it was only one of three. He chose from Melissa, Cersei, and Jenna.
Heart's Home How moral and capable?
He doesn't have that much Vale time to play the game of "Three Heroes Peake" with Heart's Home Earl.
If the opponent has the guts, he can fight KOF himself----
Titus said to the attendants and followers of the three corpses in the square, "Bring me a message to the Corbray patriarch. Only the strong are welcome here, and everyone else is sent to me."
The attendants Gardon and Jero on the side were dumbfounded, as if they were watching a "red-haired high school student" doing the high jump. They thought Lord Earl was so handsome.
If there are attribute displays on the heads of the two people, they must be dancing "My brother level + 1", "My brother level + 2"----
And it's too fast!
Everyone seemed to have watched a shocking performance.
In order to give House Corbray a thorough warning and ensure that they really listened to what they said this time, Titus said, "If Heart's Home sends fake goods over again, I will not entertain them. The lizard pond behind Starpike will be their destination."
After saying that, in order to see is believing, he asked Gerald Dayne, whose eyes were glowing with enthusiasm, to lead House Corbray's group of silent attendants to the back of the castle for a "visit".
Deep in the castle, a deep pool was specially dug and enclosed by a fence.
It houses Titus's good friend, Lord Greywater Watch whom he met at the Harrenhal tournament, and a giant lizard sent by Holland Reed who stabbed "Sword of the Morning" in the vest in Tower of Joy.
This was the gift Holland Reed had promised to give him.
The lizard is a cold-blooded creature that lives in swamps. It looks like a crocodile and has an amazing bite force. Once it bites a living creature, it will never let go.
The lizard that Commander Greywater Watch gave to Titus was extremely large, almost twenty feet long from head to tail.
It likes to use "death roll" to tear the prey into its mouth into pieces, leaving pieces here and there.
Thanks to Westeros, such giant creatures can still occasionally grow in some wild areas, so Titus can raise it and play with it.
This lizard-lion named "Rekton" has an astonishing appetite and consumes a lot of fish, shrimps, crabs and small mammals in the castle every month.
Titus plans to wait until it gets bigger and let Wenda or Dodge try this beast Skinchanging.
Of course, Renekton's current appearance is enough to scare people.
I believe that Heart's Home visitors who have visited the Starpike "zoo" will have enough "talking points" to report to their Earl.
Next time, if House Corbray really dares to send some crooked melons and dates, Titus will just throw them into the lizard pond to "take a bath".
After the Heart's Home people finished visiting, they left Great Addison Gate with shocked expressions.
Titus took his bodyguard Dodge to visit this newly built "zoo".
He specially carved out an open space in the corner close to the mountain wall, and planned to imitate Braavos's Neptune and raise some "a little" dangerous pets of various kinds - like this lizard pond.
This is not to build a "leopard room" for the emperor of a certain dynasty to learn "easy to dissolve in water", but to build this place into a testing ground for Skinchanger.
The "White Eagle" and "Crazy Hunter" he rubbed can be said to be outliers in the Skinchanger group, and they can just try out all kinds of weird and strange abilities here.
Titus took the live chicken from Dodge and fed the food to Renekton who was lazing in the sun by the pool through the iron fence.
The appearance of this lizard gradually reveals the prototype of a "prehistoric giant crocodile".
