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

Chapter 86 "Bloodlust" Arthur, the First Rider of the Three Rivers

"Knight" Horus Harlo fell to the ground in despair, his blood splattering onto Yasuo and staining his once yellow robes red.

Arthur's cloak was stained with the blood of the Ironborn, the blood of the little sea monster, and the blood of Horace.

The blood also stained Horace's own scythe robe, then turned into a babbling brook.

Heras has followed his friend Rodrik in death.

Rosso dismounted and with another swift stroke, cleanly severed a head.

Horace's head and Rodrik's head met the same fate.

"Sir, his head," Rosso said.

"I will wield the Nightfall Sword, so you can go in peace, Horace. I promise I will bring even more glory to this sword." Arthur looked at Horace's head.

This knight was Harlo Island's top enforcer, and now he hastily died in Sea Frontier City.

Although Horace's skills, speed, and strength are among the best of the younger generation in the Iron Islands, he has met the even more outstanding Arthur.

The battlefield is destined to be more brutal than the knightly arena.

It distinguishes between high and low, and between life and death.

The Seven Kingdoms have many geniuses, but only those who rise to the top are true geniuses.

"Baron is such a good man." Arthur held Nightfall in his hand, and he really had to thank King Baron and his Ironborn.

This guy is giving away both kills and equipment; he's such a good person.

Nightfall is probably the shortest-lived Valyrian steel sword among the Seven Kingdoms.

But a Valyrian steel sword is a Valyrian steel sword, priceless.

During the Blood Dragon Dance, everyone else was throwing their swords away, but the Red Sea Monster was incredibly lucky and managed to snatch one.

The Nightfall Sword was seized by "Red Sea Monster" Dalton Greyjoy a few years before Blood Dragon Dance, probably from pirates on the Eastern Continent.

After the Blood Sea Monster died, the Iron Islands were thrown into chaos, and the powerful Lord Harlo took the opportunity to darken the night.

The Lannisters, who were obsessed with the Valyrian sword back then, did not know the exact location of the Nightfall sword; otherwise, they would definitely have attacked Harlow Island.

Nightfall looks like a large "Iron Plus" sword, made entirely of Valyrian steel, with a moonstone tip to balance the sword.

The only flaw is that the hilt is slightly long and decorated with gilded, writhing sea monster tentacles, making it quite flashy.

Once he got his hands on it, Arthur discovered that the Vulcan Sword was lighter than it appeared.

Thin! Light! Hard!

These are the three main characteristics of Valyrian steel weapons.

Those dark, smoky black ripples are the marks of countless hammer blows during the forging process.

"You got it?" Sir Lucas asked.

"Yes!" Arthur nodded with a smile.

"Looks like you need to find a good blacksmith to replace that ugly sea monster head."

“I already have someone in mind,” Arthur said. “I have a road in King’s Landing, and that blacksmith can do it. We don’t need to travel all the way to Corhol.”

Arthur resolved to melt away the ugly sea monster tentacles and replace them with the bat symbol.

If the sword guard is changed, then the name must also be changed.

The Targaryen family had the Dark Sisters before, so it's quite an honor for the River An family to have a "Darkbringer".

On the other hand, Baron's second son, Marlen Greyjoy, also did not live long.

Maren grew increasingly agitated as the fight progressed, while Count Jason's extensive warrior experience compensated for his age.

"Seafront City is your burial ground, sea monster!" Count Jason said coldly, his swordplay methodical and meticulous.

He was a cunning swordsman, and now that he had a huge advantage, he remained calm and composed, displaying his full skill.

"The Drowning God will grant me power!" Maren said stubbornly, his face pale.

But when Malen discovered that his elder brother and the knight Harlow had both died in battle, he was terrified.

When he lost his balance, Count Jason stabbed him to death with a single sword strike.

At this point, all three commanders of the Iron Islands Seafront City operation were wiped out.

This war ended in a bloody and devastating defeat for the Iron Race.

"Clean up the battlefield, kill the seriously wounded. Detain the captains in the water dungeon, and put the ordinary iron pieces in the raven cages." Earl Jason ordered his men to clean up the battlefield, while looking at Arthur with envy.

Arthur had even more military achievements, and his Valyrian steel sword alone was the envy of many.

However, Earl Jason was convinced of the situation. After all, if he only had the strength of the Sea Frontier City, he could probably only defeat Rodrik, and the rest of the Iron Seeds would escape.

There aren't many captains and iron left; the war is too bloody.

Mud was everywhere, and corpses were scattered all around.

Once the smell of blood becomes stronger, seabirds and crows will come to hunt for food.

"Congratulations on your great victory, Earl Jason!" Arthur rode up.

He held the bat-winged helmet in his arms and the Nightfall sword at his waist, and spoke to Earl Jason.

"Victory comes from your support, Lord Arthur!" Earl Jason removed his eagle-winged helmet, a smile on his face.

Arthur and Jason first exchanged compliments, seemingly to see who would be the hero in the river.

Even without acquiring many spoils, the merit of killing Maren and Ironborn was still significant.

The Earl of Seafront has already received honors, and there is a foreseeable reward from King Robert in the future.

"You really look like a 'bloodthirsty' bat." Earl Jason no longer spoke with the arrogance of an elder; his tone was full of admiration for the warrior.

"There is a lot of blood, but it's all other people's blood, not my blood," Arthur said.

"Soldiers, who is the hero of this war?" Earl Jason shouted, leaping onto his horse as it galloped across the blood-soaked, muddy battlefield, drawing his sword.

Mud splattered onto Earl Jason's purple robe, but the excited warrior paid it no heed.

Even Earl Jason had never fought such a miraculous battle, let alone fighting against Duke Horst.

Horst's most impressive feat was probably the Battle of Stonehall, where he almost got killed by the "Griffin," which is quite a joke if you told me about it.

Now, Arthur leads his team in a combined attack with Haijiang City, resulting in a one-sided and brutal defeat.

Arthur beheaded the Kraken's heir and Horus, and Jason beheaded Maren.

The whole war became much easier.

"I still need to find good teammates," Earl Jason thought to himself.

Although they were unprepared and launched a surprise attack from a superior position.

That also depends on Arthur and his riders being fast enough, strong enough, and having enough spear-wielding knights charging into battle.

This made Earl Jason more thoughtful; if all was well, Tully could still get by.

If another crisis arises, the Turi family will find it difficult to protect Mikawa.

"Arthur Hogan!"

"Arthur. River!"

The knights who participated in the battle cheered in unison, and shouts of "Long live Harrenhal" echoed from the city walls.

"Victory belongs not only to me, but also to Earl Jason, and to all those who fought bravely!" Arthur smiled slightly, welcoming an even more enthusiastic cheer.

The sea breeze ruffled Arthur's black hair, and his deep blue, almost purple eyes and handsome face added to his charm.

Sir Patrick, who was observing from the sidelines, looked at the war hero revered by thousands and felt a divine light from the sun shining on Arthur.

Patrick understood why his father valued Arthur so highly; the boy seemed to possess the true blessing of a warrior, brave and fearless.

"Arthur He'an, the First Knight of the Three Rivers!"

"Arthur He'an, the First Knight of the Three Rivers!"

I don't know which rider came up with the creative idea for this word, but the whole audience echoed it, their voices like a tidal wave.

"The Greatest Knight of Mikawa!"

"The Greatest Knight of Mikawa!"

To call him the number one knight of the Seven Kingdoms would be too arrogant.

But when it comes to the greatest knight of the Three Rivers, Arthur truly deserves the title.

After all, in the last hundred years or so, judging from the honors of the martial arts arena and the battlefield, Hejian has always been lagging behind.

Besides Jason and Blackfish, the most famous knights are Cold Iron and Blood Raven.

But Cold Iron and Blood Raven are more like the fringe dragon race than the people of the Three Rivers.

They spent most of their time growing up in the Red Keep of King's Landing.

The Blackfire Rebellion and the War of the Usurpers played a supporting role in the Riverlands.

Although Blood Raven killed Blackfire with a hail of arrows, the Valley Army gained the most time.

Needless to say, the war of usurpers.

"Long live the Seafront City! Long live Harrenhal!"

"Dark Knight! Dark Knight!"

Amid cheers, Arthur, Earl Jason, and the knights rode off together into the city of Haijiang.

The standard-bearers rode ahead, their spears bearing the heads of two sea monster heirs, Horus, and some captains from the Iron Islands.

The crowds along the way were cheering and jumping for joy, and many pretty young girls were clapping for them.

"Seafront has won a great victory. I will send messages to Riverrun and King's Landing," said Earl Jason.

"Of course," Arthur nodded.

They've accomplished such great things, they definitely deserve a grand celebration.

Moreover, Count Jason and Arthur shared this news together, as both were commanders in the war.

"King Baron is doomed to defeat; it's only a matter of time," Earl Jason asserted. "He won his surprise attack, but he suffered heavy losses in Seafront City, losing two sons. Once the royal fleet sets sail and gains naval superiority, it can sweep across the Iron Islands."
