Game of Thrones: King of Harrenhal, starting with a blue hand stat panel

Chapter 105 Arthur Hoan, the Twin-Tile Steel Sword Style Swordsman

At dusk, the sun's halo resembled blood.

Pike Island, a promontory within the stone walls leading to the main fortress of Pike.

The location of the Wang Party's main camp had long since become a bustling sea of ​​activity.

The banners of the various lords of the Iron Throne Expeditionary Force fluttered in the wind: gold-plated black-crowned stags, dire wolves, grapes, blue-and-white crescent falcons, pebble runes, towering beacons, the Twin Towers of Lee River, and so on.

The generals of the anti-bandit army have all arrived at Pike Island one after another, bringing with them the Ironborn leaders who have sued for peace.

Commander of Old Wake Island, Sir Barristan.

Commander of Oak Isle, Sir Kevan.

Commander of the Royal Grand Fleet: Stannis Baratheon, Paxter Redwyn, and Assistant Commander: Baelor Hightower of Oldtown.

Stannis successfully completed his mission to capture Great Wake Island.

Although the surrender was essentially forced and the Gubler family emerged unscathed, Stannis's contributions at sea were still paramount.

King Robert found the main castle in Pyke City too shabby, so he had a temporary platform built inside the Cape Camp and turned it into a lively party.

Ordinary lords and knights could only sit on benches below the platform, crowding the open space in front of it.

And on the high platform, this was the territory of the king, the great princes, and the war heroes.

Here are King Robert, Thoros of Myr, the Kingsguard, Duke Eddard, Duke Stannis, and Ser Kevan.

Earl Parker, Earl Royce the Spirited, Sir Baylor Hightower, Sir Arthur, Lucas.

Count Tetos, Count Genos, the Great Bear, the commander sent by Old Frey, and so on—it was almost a feast for men.

The king also granted King Baron a position, but it was the position furthest from the king.

"What? You said you found another Valyrian steel sword in Kingsport?" Robert, sitting in the middle, was shocked and almost vomited up the wine he had just finished drinking.

Robert was rich beyond measure, but he spent money like dirt.

I've never really had any concept of financial management.

But when he heard Arthur's report, his eyes widened in astonishment.

No, Valyrian steel isn't exactly common either.

Why do they keep popping up one after another when it comes to Arthur Hoan?

As Arthur finished speaking, all the other powerful lords turned to look at him.

Arthur indeed became an extremely cool dual-sword swordsman, with his enhanced sword belt now carrying two longswords.

Besides the ferocious Dark Messenger sword, which was used to annihilate entire families, Arthur brought another sword with him.

"It is absolutely true, Your Majesty. I was ordered by you to guard King's Port, and I found this in the ruins of a dilapidated blacksmith's room."

Arthur drew the Orphan Maker, its dark, smoky blade gleaming with a striking light, unchanged for centuries.

Although the room was filled with members of the elite families of Westeros, Arthur was the youngest and most brilliant knight, unmatched by anyone.

"Is this the Orphan Maker?" Kevan Lannister, who coveted Valyrian steel swords the most, uttered the sword's name.

This sword has a terrible reputation, and it has drunk the blood of dragon knights, creating many orphans and widows under its blade.

Among the Valyrian steel swords that are not from the Dragon family, it stands out.

"Orphan Makers!"

"Orphan Makers!"

The powerful feudal lords all craned their necks.

With its jeweled, rounded tip and dazzlingly wavy Valyrian steel blade, it was definitely that longsword.

Arthur Hoan has already made a name for himself, becoming infamous in the Iron Islands campaign and demonstrating the talent and potential of a top-tier master.

With these two famous swords added to it, it would be even more formidable.

Could this person truly be a favorite of fate?

"But why is this sword in Kingsport, Iron Islands?" Robert took the Orphan Maker and casually swung it a few times; it truly was a divine weapon.

Robert was essentially speaking out for the doubts of others.

“Your Majesty, as far as I know, this sword was stolen and possessed by the Peck family, but later the Peck family was involved in several rebellions, and many members of the family fled the Reach. They may have been plundered at sea by the Ironborn around that time, and the sword is hidden in Kingsport,” Arthur explained.

The fact that the sword was lost so casually is consistent with the circumstances surrounding the loss of Valyrian steel swords.

Either you lose it inexplicably, or you get double-crossed.

"If it's the Peck family, then that's it. In the last hundred years, members of the Peck family have been exiled and banished many times, two fortresses have been destroyed, and only one lineage remains," Earl Pikester added.

The Peck family is now a second- or third-rate family in the Reach, but back then it was the Husky family that lost everything.

The current Peck family is insignificant; the sword's original owner, Roxton, is long gone, and Ironseed, who stole the sword, is also dead.

So now there are two possibilities for the owner of this sword.

Arthur was found in Kingsport, and Robert was given Kingsport to plunder by Arthur!

As for Baron and Lord Port King, they didn't dare utter a single word.

Everyone held their breath, awaiting Robert's verdict.

"Very well, I hereby temporarily bestow King's Harbor upon you, and everything discovered there is your property. This sword is yours, Arthur Hoan!" Robert declared with a flourish.

"The greatest glory lies in serving His Majesty!" Arthur declared loudly, taking the Orphan Maker and sheathing it.

Robert was truly exceptional in terms of vision and strategic thinking.

The main reason is that Robert has already offered a reward, and everyone knows that the king keeps his word.

Therefore, any property found in Kingsport would belong to Arthur personally, and Robert kept his word.

Just like the lottery, no one would expect that the small King's Port would have such good stuff. If you win the lottery, it's just good luck.

If Robert Blackhand were to use this sword, the royal family would lose face.

"You little rascal, sometimes I really think you're the darling of the Trident River and the warriors," Robert laughed.

Yasuo is brave on the battlefield and has incredible luck in finding treasures, even Robert has to give him a compliment.

"The darling of the Trident River!"

"The Darling of Sanhe!"

"The darling of the Three Rivers!" The great lords of the seven kingdoms also started to clamor.

No one paid any attention to the sullen faces of the Ironborn or the sullen expression on Count Tettos's face.

Arthur Hearn's path to fame was essentially built on stepping on the heads of Ironborn.

"Arthur Hoan, I'll remember you!" King Baron looked at the radiant young man who was being fawned over by the people, and his heart was filled with resentment.

In addition to Robert, Ed, and Baron, Arthur's name was also added.

Arthur killed his son and opened the gates of Kingsport and Pyke.

Unfortunately, the Iron Islands and Harrenhal are completely unrelated, and it would be too much trouble for him to take a long detour to attack Harrenhal.

Trying to replicate the Hall family's land-based ships is suicidal.

The last person to be called a darling was a relative of Jon Arryn, but unfortunately, he had a bad life.

Sir Dennis, a distant relative of Arryn, made a name for himself in the tournaments. He was handsome, chivalrous, polite, and devout, and was known as the "darling of the Vale." In addition, he had the magical surname Arryn, so Weywood's eldest daughter married him.

Their descendants will also be Arryn, and will be the heirs of the Vale since Albert Arryn, nephew of Jon Arryn.

Later, Sir Albert was killed by the Mad King, and Sir Dennis was killed by a griffin during the Battle of the Bells.

Compared to Sir Dennis, Arthur, the darling of the Riverlands, is more battle-tested and far stronger than Dennis Erin.

The feudal lords looked at Arthur Hoan with envy, jealousy, and hatred.

Two Valyrian steel swords, one for the Darkbringer and the other for the Orphan Maker.

This person's skill and luck are absolutely off the charts.

To possess a Valyrian steel sword as a family heirloom is a great honor.

Arthur, on the other hand, managed to acquire two swords; only the Targaryen family possessed two swords back then.

But they didn't have much room for doubt. Arthur had done all the dangerous work, and his honors were earned through his military exploits.

In the Battle of Seafront, Arthur, as the platoon leader of the elite troops who first stormed Harlo Island, King's Port, and Pike City, was invincible.

"I'm so envious it's painful!" Ser Kevan Lannister and Earl Jon Royce were the most distressed.

Both the Lannister and Royce families previously possessed longswords, but now they are all lost.

Light Howl was lost in the adventure, Lament was lost in the Blood Dragon's Frenzy.

Robert won the war, but Blood Bat not only achieved great success, but also obtained two Valyrian steel swords, making him completely arrogant.

As night fell, the lords surrounded Robert, and Baratheon began to enjoy a feast.

The cooks in the Iron Islands are terrible; they usually just make black bread, stewed fish, and roasted lamb.

However, both the Redwyn fleet and the Oldtown fleet have decent cooks.

Everyone worked tirelessly, sparing no expense, to ensure that the King and all the important figures enjoyed their meal.
