Titus, the "king of foot combat" in Titus's eyes, Robert, is being besieged by three people.

The leader of the attack on the opposite side is still the one wearing orange armor, "Fire Steed".

The tall orange-armored knight raised his long-handled battle ax high and struck hard twice, flattening and knocking away the shield on Robert Left Hand.

The other two knights who landed saw the advantage and decisively approached Robert, who was exposed. However, the first knight was struck by Robert's swift and violent counterattack, and was knocked dizzy.

The entire top of the giant helmet was hammered into a pointed shape.

Andrew Tarth Ser looked back and couldn't help but cheer. He wanted to go over to help, but he was entangled by several Warrior who had fallen off the horse earlier. Even with the momentum of the horse, it was difficult to escape for a while.

The unlucky guy whose giant helmet was knocked out of shape swayed for a while, and finally staggered and fell into the mire.

Robert worked too hard in the previous round and used up a lot of physical strength. Seeing that he had successfully defeated an opponent, Robert couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. The blue eyes behind the eye slits on the front of the antlered helmet stared closely at "Fire Steed" who had performed bravely before and "Black Raven" behind him.

Unexpectedly, "Black Raven" Ser, who was wearing heavy black armor and whose chest emblem read "On a bright red background, a flock of black crows surrounding a Weirwood tree", suddenly attacked his accomplice from behind without saying a word.

The long-handled battle ax engraved with a red horse pattern fell to the muddy ground with a "bang".

The tall orange-armored knight, who was skilled in horsemanship and brave in foot combat, was hit hard by the "Black Raven" chain hammer in the back. Unwilling to do so, he slowly knelt down and finally lay sideways on the ground.

The hit "Black Raven" Ser didn't stop. He raised the hammer again and hit Robert's already dilapidated family emblem shield one after another, knocking the black deer pattern on the shield into even more grotesque shapes.

After another heavy sound, Robert's deer shield was finally smashed into pieces by "Black Raven".

He simply abandoned it and turned it into several broken shields. He grabbed Robert behind him with his bare hands and slammed forward violently. The two heavily armored soldiers immediately twisted into a ball, and the antlers and Raven's claws were mixed together, just like the graceful dance at the dinner dance a few days ago.

It's just that the dance partners are waving heavy weapons instead of leaning in to hug.

The hammer breaks through the air, the chain rotates, whirring, and the iron tools clash endlessly.

Both hammers have been blunted in advance, but heavy weapons are heavy weapons. When they hit the opponent's shield or plate armor, they still make a distorted and terrifying sound.

Due to the lack of shield cover, Robert was at a slight disadvantage at the beginning. When he finally pulled out the other spare sledgehammer behind his back, it was "Black Raven" and "Ser's" turn to struggle to support themselves.

Robert, which was gradually gaining momentum, swiped at the opponent's head and shoulders again and again, responding to the enthusiastic shouts of "Long live Storm's End!" from the audience, and kept stepping towards the opponent.

Like "Fire Steed", "Black Raven" Ser, who also came from Riverlands, tried his best to fight back with the chain hammer in his hand, but every time the hammer ball hit, it was easily blocked by Robert's off-hand weapon.

As Robert seized the opportunity and knocked away the chain hammer of "Black Raven" Ser with his backhand, the emotions of the spectators reached their peak, screaming like wild beasts.

Poof!--

Amidst the noisy shouts, Robert, who was holding hammers with both hands and striking each other, opened his arms with great enjoyment, and his tall figure seemed to be able to completely envelope his opponent.

The Duke prepares his final blow.

"Black Raven"Ser was not willing to accept defeat. After the hammer was knocked away, he suddenly pulled out a long blunt dagger used in fighting, trying to pick it at Robert's faceplate with his arms stretched out.

The majestic deer antlers Warrior had already folded its arms. From a bird's-eye view, the hammer heads of the two maces drew two arc-shaped sectors and hit both sides of "Black Raven"'s helmet first.

The two peaks penetrate the ears.

In the final blow, Robert, who was already sure of victory, obviously withdrew his strength, but his remaining strength was still like striking a gong from the front and back at the same time.

"Dang!" was heard.

There was one more sleeper sleeping like a baby in the place.

The roar of the crowd became so loud.

When the other survivors on the field were cleared one by one, Andrew Tarth Ser from Tarth and Eddard·Stark from Winterfell staggeredly raised their hands to signal their withdrawal from the competition.

The only remaining winner, the young Duke Stormlands, stood up straight, raised his right arm Hammer, and pointed directly at the position of the king on the auditorium...

This is the champion paying tribute to the king.

In the eyes of Titus, it is indeed full of symbolic meaning.

Robert's original bright and luxurious armor is no longer dazzling now.

It was covered with various wounds, including large and small dents made by hammers and nail heads, as well as irregular gouges carved by heavy swords. The cloak was torn into rags, the breastplate with the family crest had even enamel fragments falling off, and one of the antlers on the top of the helmet was crooked...

But there is no doubt that Robert·Baratheon, who had the best record in this game and insisted on standing until the end, has become the champion in today's game!

The handymen and the Squires rushed into the field to take care of the defeated and seriously injured Warriors.

Titus followed the crowd towards the exit of the arena, preparing to meet the winning Lulang brothers. Earl was very excited.

To others, today's Robert is like "Warrior" in Seven descending to earth, but to him, Duke Storm's End is more like the God of Wealth descending to earth.

What Mr. Baratheon, he is obviously Robert Mr. Gongming!

Thanks to the help of brother Gongming, his gambling game at Harrenhal was able to have such a perfect ending.

When everyone came out, they greeted Eddard, who persisted until the end, and Andrew Tarth Ser. Titus raised his hand and patted the grinning team competition champion's shoulder enthusiastically.

"Robert, you did a great job! Westeros is indeed a strongman that we have never seen before!"

With this vote alone, Titus earned more than the championship bonus of Robert, so he was naturally generous with praise.

Westeros A strong man who has never been seen before? Why does this sound a little familiar?

Robert After laughing loudly, I felt something was a little weird.

But then, I lost myself in the continuous rainbow attacks of Titus...

The seventh day.

It is also the last day of the official tournament.

The morning sun had just turned red and the buildings on both sides of the stadium were already crowded with more people than the previous day inside and outside the stadium.

In the crowded crowd, civilians stood on the fence and looked excitedly into the stadium. They are always the most active.

The nobles and nobles on the viewing platform also changed into their gorgeous clothes early, and even the king's throne was covered with brand new velvet.

This day.

There are only four shields left on the sidelines, and they have been hung at the highest heights on the sidelines, making them look particularly eye-catching:

Orange bottom black castle:

Representing the only remaining achievement of the Reach delegation, he is also the youngest knight in this competition, the undisputed biggest dark horse after the defeat of the wild wolf Brandon, and the current patriarch of Earl of Starpike and House Peake - "Black Earl" Titus·Peake;

Three ears of wheat:

He is a member of the Stormlands frontier Harvest Hall House Selmy, the legendary Kingsguard--"the fearless" Barristan·Selmy;

Sword and Meteor:

The contemporary swordsman representing Dorne Starfall's handed down family sword "Dawn" - "Sword of the Morning" Arthur·Dayne;

The Last Red Dragon:

He is the eldest son of King Aerys II, Prince of Dragonstone--"Silver Prince"Rhaegar·Targaryen.

Each of the characters represented by these four shields cannot be underestimated.

Behind the shield is the path to advancement that comes from countless charges, countless blocks, and countless knockdowns of opponents.

The four great knights who stood out from hundreds of contestants had accumulated victories through dozens of duels in the past few days before they could come here.

On this renovated yellow land, they will decide the final winner through a contest between knightly skills and inner courage.

And this time Harrenhal Tourney's violent game will also reach its peak moment...
