Arya and Sandor gave up the field and came to the outside of Training Yard to watch the battle.
She asked Sandor, "Who is that woman?"
Sandor knew that Arya was asking about Brienne, so he explained the identity of Brienne to her.
While the two were discussing, Gary and Brienne had already entered the scene and were facing each other with swords.
Gary put his right hand on the handle of Falling Plum and suggested sincerely. "Actually, you should recover from your injuries first before fighting me. To be honest, you have no chance of winning now."
Brienne pulled out the Oathkeeper Sword. She didn't believe how skilled Luke Stark, an ice wizard, could be in sword skills. She just needed to be wary of his magic.
She was neither humble nor overbearing, "Wizard, let's get started."
Gary grinned, "Don't worry, I don't want to kill you yet, and I won't use Ice Magic."
Brienne was used to this contemptuous attitude. She misunderstood that Gary was the same as everyone else because she was a woman, so she underestimated her strength.
She said with faint anger, "You will pay for your contempt!"
Brienne raised his sword and struck at Gary, who had not yet drawn his sword. Although this wide-opening and closing move was very powerful, it was also easy to dodge.
Gary was very agile and easily dodged the sword.
He took a step back and said, "Bai Ying·Iaido Slash." The Falling Plum on his waist was instantly unsheathed. The sword was so fast, as fast as lightning, that it was almost impossible to catch it with the naked eye.
Brienne's reaction ability was fast enough, but she still couldn't see clearly the trajectory of Falling Plum. She didn't raise her sword to block until the blade came close to her breastplate.
"Ding!"
With a crisp sound, two Valyrian steel weapons collided together.
Brienne was knocked back several steps by the huge force, and the Oath Keeper sword in his hand kept vibrating, making a faint buzzing sound.
Her whole arm was numb and she could hardly hold the sword.
Gary Seeing Brienne in such a mess, he did not choose to pursue him. He swung his sword and put it into its sheath, "You can't take another blow from me. You have already lost."
Brienne stubbornly grasped the right hand holding the sword with his left hand, "This is Trial by Combat, as long as I don't die, it's not a defeat!"
Gary sighed, "Come on."
Then I will kill you, help you fulfill your oath, and then resurrect you, hmm~, the perfect solution to the problem.
Brienne looked at Gary warily. This time she did not intend to take the initiative to attack. The opponent's sword was too fast, so she had to defend herself first, and then wait for an opportunity to counterattack to have a chance of winning.
Gary was not wearing plate armor today, he was as light as a swallow, and his movements were quick and agile. He slowly leaned over, pushed his feet on the ground, stirred up bursts of soil, and exerted force in an instant.
His whole body was like a ghost, and in just one breath, he came in front of Brienne.
Brienne only heard the man's greeting in his ears, "Miss Brienne, you are dead..."
The sword wind was coming, and she hurriedly raised her Oath Keeper sword and left arm to block it.
"Dang!"
The Oath-Keeping Sword blocked most of the force, but in the end it could not completely resist the sword. The huge repulsive force made Brienne unable to hold the Oath-Keeping Sword tightly, and the hilt fell out of his hand.
The remaining force of the knife poured out on Brienne's left arm. The sharp blade cut through her steel arm guard and embedded itself deeply into her arm.
Blood continuously overflowed from the gap between the arm guard and the blade, and soon dyed Brienne's entire left hand red.
Gary withdrew Falling Plum. Judging from the depth, Falling Plum had cut off the bones of Brienne's hand. Her left hand was now hanging on her arm only relying on the support of skin and flesh.
Brienne turned pale, gritted his teeth and persisted without saying a word.
Gary said with some surprise, "You can withstand this knife, which is beyond my expectation. If you don't have old injuries, we might still be able to have a good fight. It's a pity..."
Brienne now fell to the ground with the Oath Keeper, and his left hand was useless. There was no possibility of defeating Gary. She started to kill, and said calmly, "Let's do it, Luke·Stark."
Gary has no choice but to lift Falling Plum...
"Wait!"
Arya ran into Training Yard and asked, "Aren't you my mother's guard? Why did you come to kill Luke?"
She saw that this tall woman was very capable and a rare strong person. Moreover, Gary seemed to be interested in recruiting her, so Arya rushed over to help.
Brienne looked at the strange little girl in front of him and asked tentatively, "Are you Arya·Stark?"
"Yes, I am." Arya put his hands on his hips, "Answer my question, Brienne·Tas."
Gary put the sword into its sheath and silently walked aside to watch the show.
Brienne lost too much blood and was a little dizzy. She forced herself to bow her head and salute Arya, "Miss Arya, I followed your mother's order and came to kill Luke·Stark."
Gary added loudly, "Arya, she saw that thing in Riverlands."
Arya understood instantly, and she shouted sternly, "I order you! Give up the accusation against Luke!"
Brienne bowed his head respectfully and retorted, "Miss Arya, you are not Mrs. Catelyn, and you have no right to change her..."
Arya interrupted her, "My mother is dead, you should be loyal to me."
Brienne explained anxiously, "Your mother is not dead..."
"That's not her!"
Bran also came to Training Yard at this time and responded loudly.
Arya echoed, "Yes! Bran is right, that is not our mother."
Bran came to Brienne. He learned the whole story from Podrick's mouth and came here specially to resolve the dispute.
"Miss Brienne has never been to the north of Wall and does not know the existence of Wights. Wights is essentially a corpse that relies on the power of Magic, but they have no independent consciousness and are just puppets."
He said bitterly, "Our mother was controlled by Magic after her death and turned into a Wights!"
Hearing Arya and Bran say this, Brienne's heart was shaken.
Bran looked at Gary with sadness in his eyes, "When Robb was revolting and going south, my mother mentioned Luke many times. She hoped that Luke would be there at the North to help Robb so that our family would not be bullied like that. She hoped that Luke would go home... and she would never let you kill him!"
Gary was stunned for a while and then smiled in relief. Yes, although Mrs. Catelyn hates him and Jon, they are "household matters" after all. When she faces foreign enemies, she will let go of her prejudices and treat Gary and Jon as part of the family.
Brienne was stunned. She had indeed heard Mrs. Catelyn say back then, "If Luke were still in King's Landing, he would definitely protect Eddard and none of this would have happened..."
At this time, she remembered all the anomalies of Lady Stoneheart and believed most of it in her heart. "I want to see the Wights you mentioned with my own eyes before I make a judgment."
Brienne covered the wound and said with difficulty, "Luke·Stark, I temporarily withdraw the accusation against you."
Then, she couldn't hold it any longer and fainted.
