Day five.

The most watched game is of course the master showdown between Prince of Dragonstone and the North wild wolves.

From the beginning, the Wild Wolf's offensive seemed very brave.

Within a few rounds, he established a lead over Crown Prince, and the gap in scoring was slowly widening.

It's a pity that it won't last long.

Brandon·Stark ultimately lacks competition experience, and there are obvious problems with physical distribution in the second half.

Rhaegar·Targaryen, who has always been very stable, gradually showed his delicate skills and sufficient foundation, played steadily, and although he failed to knock down his tenacious opponent, he still won the victory with a small score.

Needless to say, Earl of Starpike made a lot of money again.

In the past two days, he has made a lot of money by gambling on peripherals. He has been involved in love affairs, sports venues, and casinos. His bet on Gold Dragon has doubled several times, and his estimated income is already in five figures.

Not to mention that young Earl's net worth has skyrocketed, and after five days of jousting, he needed to take a day off.

The final semi-finals and finals will not be until the seventh day.

The sixth day was a team competition.

Team jousting is a more dangerous and cruel competition than jousting. Participants are often injured or disabled. Even if they die on the spot, it is not an uncommon thing in the history of previous competitions.

Numerous contestants can compete as individuals or in teams, seeking the final solo victory in the melee.

Harrenhal This time's group competition is based on the ancient custom of a seven-party group competition.

This form of competition can be traced back to a grand event held by Targaryen Royal House to celebrate the completion of "Dragonpit".

Since Dragonpit was newly built at that time and there were no dragons living in it yet, this huge building was chosen as the venue for large group melees. A total of seventy-seven knights participated in the competition and were divided into multiple groups to fight against each other.

Players ride horses to fight, and continue fighting after falling off their horses, using special swords, battle axes, maces, and meteor hammers.

When only the last group of people stood on the field, the remaining members of the team began to attack each other to determine the only winner. Although the weapons were not sharpened, the game was still brutal and bloody. Several people were killed and more than forty people were injured in that game.

Titus put down his big business and came to watch the game today to cheer for Robert and Eddard who competed that day.

In the morning, the field servants cleared the field and erected high fences under the stands on both sides.

Not counting the spectators with some status in the stands, there were thousands of civilians who came to watch with "standing-room tickets" alone.

Based on past experience in holding group competitions, competitions often end in messy, muddy, bloody scenes with broken armor and broken spears everywhere.

There's no telling, they'll be able to fight for a long day.

Horn sounds and the game begins.

Robert·Baratheon led Eddard·Stark and five other knights from Stormlands. Horn took the lead and knocked several people off their horses before Horn's voice lingered for a long time.

It's just so unreasonable.

In other words, his Hammer is the hardest truth.

In Titus's eyes, sometimes Robert, who looks like a stupid man, fights like a god with help--

Baratheon hammer Warrior wears a black helmet with antlers on his head and a hammer on his back. He holds a shield in one hand and a hammer in the other.

After a few clicks, the opponent standing in front of him either didn't have time to block, or if he didn't block, it would be as if he didn't block. Under that sledgehammer, all living beings are equal, and they would faint without any resistance and fall asleep.

Like a baby's sleep.

Not only was he quick in his movements, but his riding skills, which were already mediocre at first, seemed to have been raised to a higher level in the excitement.

Titus I didn't realize it earlier, but this guy turned out to be a competitive player.

Eddard and Robert's drinking buddies Rickard Longmos were guarding his left and right wings, while Robert just charged forward and hit one target after another.

He and his horse were so fast, like a black whirlwind, that the golden deer emblem on the chest had turned red in a short time.

The advantages and performance of heavy weapons beyond ordinary people's specifications in this kind of competition are really beyond the standard, and the effect is extremely terrifying!

The counting speed of the spectators outside the stadium could not keep up with the rhythm of Robert rising up to hit people. For a time, people were turned upside down wherever he passed, and the number of losers who fell under the horse could not be counted.

Damn it! No, Seven Hells!

This is simply more exaggerated than playing games and opening Wushuang!

The eyes of Titus, who was shocked by Robert, began to shine:

"This is really "Warrior" coming down to earth!"

This is the last bet made by Starpike's troops.

The subsequent semi-finals and finals were too unexpected, the odds were low, and there was no profit. "Harrenhal God of Gamblers" Titus just gave it up.

Under the attention of the Harvest Earl of Starpike in just a few days, the rhythm of this Harrenhal group competition was raised to the fastest from the beginning because of Storm's End Earl's enthusiastic participation.

Not to mention playing for a whole day, it is considered good to last four quarters of a normal basketball game.

However, just like Titus knocking down opponents every time, the audience is very happy to watch such games.

Everyone around the arena, whether they were nobles or commoners, or those shy and dignified young ladies and ladies, were all excited and cheering with excitement.

Amidst these cheers, the Warriors attacked and hacked at each other. The tall war horses in full armor collided heavily with each other. Steel and flesh were inseparable, entangled and fell to the ground with a roar.

Driven by the surging momentum of the crowd, the battle inside the venue reached its most tense moment.

There were only a dozen knights still on horseback, and there were even fewer knights on the ground who could get up and regroup to join the fight.

At this time, Rickard Longmos, who had lost his "Skull and Kisses" shield, had already been knocked off his horse by a tall knight from Riverlands wearing orange armor. He lay in the mud and groaned softly.

The tall knight who defeated him had superb riding skills. He held a blunt battle ax with an extended handle. The broad ax head was engraved with the pattern of a standing man Fire Steed on one side.

Because Robert was too fierce, the tall knight and the other "survivors" who were still on the horse looked at each other silently for a while, and seemed to quickly reach a consensus.

There were a total of seven of them, coming from all directions in the kingdom. At this time, they kicked their spurs in tacit understanding and surrounded Robert and Eddard, who were panting heavily and taking a defensive posture, as well as the last person in the Stormlands team, Andrew Tarth from Tarth Evenfall Hall.

Andrew Tarth was an old Warrior who was skilled in knightly skills. He held up the family crest shield composed of the yellow sun and the white moon, and expertly rode in front of the two young men, making efforts to restore their physical strength.

The enemy cavalry advanced, approaching and surrounding each other on the left and right.

Andrew Tarth roared first, his mount suddenly accelerated, and it immediately entangled the two knights.

He pulled the reins, then released his hands, relying solely on his lower body to control the horse. He first used the sun and moon shield in his hand to block the fierce attack of the previous person, and then used his hand to dance the meteor hammer and hit the face of the other attacker hard.

Then, as the three horses passed by each other, Andrew Ser used his free hand and pulled the reins hard. The horse under him raised its hind legs, and the hard shoe swept the belly of the horse of the first person who had failed to attack before.

In an instant, two Riders and a big horse fell to the ground, unable to get up again.

Looking in the direction of the two young men, Eddard relied on his equestrian skills to lead two knights in a circle.

The tall figure with antlers pointing to the sky somehow cooperated with Eddard, or used some method to pull all three opponents off their horses and enter a more comfortable stage of foot combat for him.

When Gods Eye was on the south bank, Titus had personally weighed the pair of exaggeratedly heavy war hammers.

He knows that when it comes to foot combat, Meow-Meow Hammer and Robert in his hand can be called the king.
