"Did you hold back on me during previous training?"
"I have some reservations, and I don't need magic blessing." Witte said honestly
"Now that you are strong enough, you can train in riding and spear skills."
In the next few months, Barristan began to train Werther in riding and spearmanship. Jaime, an infantry combat trainer, also joined in, and also added various weapons: warhammers, spears, bows and arrows. Werther also used the skills he learned in Dorne.
Using whips, throwing knives, and daggers, the three of them fought heartily every time, and their martial arts skills improved a lot.
The defeated Boros and Marin were too embarrassed to come, and the other Kingsguards also had their own personalities and did not participate.
Werther looked at James drinking water next to him while taking a break
[One of the purposes of coming to King's Landing this time is to see if we can get Jaime's blood. The blood test proves that Joffrey is not Robert's biological child. If you tell Robert directly that Joffrey is not Robert's son, no one will believe it.
, hair color cannot be directly proven, and it will also be charged with sowing discord and slandering the prince.
Jaime was injured in a previous sparring session and his blood was obtained. However, he was disappointed to find that Jaime had the same blood type as Robert! We could only think of other ways.
And now I have a relatively good relationship with James, and he has become more powerful in martial arts than in the original work, I don’t know whether it’s good or bad.]
James saw Werther looking at him.
"You probably won't be able to find many opponents in the country now. If Ser Arthur Dayne is still alive, he should be able to fight you. He is only 11 years old."
"The Sword of Dawn is indeed powerful. Even when he uses the ancestral Sword of Dawn, I can't defeat him." Barristan took a sip of water and continued.
Werther wiped his sweat with a towel
"I have met Sir Arthur before at Storm's End, but I was still young at that time, so I could only watch him sparring with others. His martial arts are indeed superb, but every time I meet Prince Rhaegar, I have to think
If you try to make the opponent win, he will feel aggrieved."
When James heard that his idol agreed with him, he was even more fond of Werther. Moreover, the two of them were members of the Kingsguard at the time, and had personally experienced the level of Rhaegar and Arthur's martial arts. He thought that every time Arthur and the prince fought, they would have to fight each other.
Seeking defeat, the two of them also laughed.
However, when it comes to the Targaryens, their identities are awkward and it is difficult to talk to them.
Werther looked at the two of them
"It doesn't matter, these people have become history. Now we can only see them in stories and books. There is nothing to pay attention to.
In addition, I am not the only one who is very strong at the age of 11. More than 100 years ago, there was a man who was knighted at the age of 12 because he was brave and good at fighting."
The two of them had never heard of anyone being knighted at the age of 12 for their military exploits, so they asked Werther to explain.
"This period of history was the rebellion of the illegitimate sons of the Targaryen royal family more than 100 years ago. Therefore, many books in later generations have deliberately erased this period. However, I have read many original books recording the history of that time in the school city, and they have also corroborated each other.
, there is indeed such a person, Daemon Blackfyre"
"I remembered that when I was young, I read books about Valyrian steel swords at home. This name was mentioned in the Black Fire Sword chapter. There was only one sentence saying that he took the sword to the Eastern Continent, and the rest
There is absolutely nothing about his life story." James answered.
Werther then talked about Daemon Blackfyre. He was knighted at the age of 12 because of his bravery and prowess. He held the Blackfire Sword and was known as a warrior. He was the true idol of martial arts teenagers across the country. However, he launched a rebellion and was killed by his half-brother.
Crow was shot to death by an arrow on the battlefield, and the war continued for decades after that, making the two of them sigh.
Vert told the story of Blackfire to remind James of the disaster of illegitimate children for royal succession, but I don't know if he listened.

One day in the year 289, Werther was riding a horse at the training ground when suddenly the horn sounded from the Red Castle. This was the king's urgent summons to the ministers.
This kind of summons does not happen often. If you only summon the ministers of the Royal Council for less important matters, just like summoning all the ministers, officials and nobles in King's Landing, something big must have happened.
Robert was already waiting on the Iron Throne in the Red Castle Hall. The important ministers of the Royal Council were also present. People were still coming in at the door. Everyone was silent and stood on both sides of the hall according to their rank. As the Duke of Antler Castle,
If you can attend the meeting, find a place to stand and wait for others.
When the others were almost in, the King's Hand, Prime Minister Jon Arryn took out a letter and read it out formally
"Balon Greyjoy of the Iron Islands declared his independence from the rule of the Seven Kingdoms, proclaimed himself king, spread the word to the Seven Kingdoms, and called himself: King of the Iron Islands."
Coax~~The entire hall suddenly became noisy, and everyone was shocked.
"Quiet" Prime Minister Jon shouted
"Your Majesty, this is a shameless rebellion. We should immediately gather vassals from all over the country to send troops to attack it."
Next, various ministers expressed their opinions and decided on various policies, because this time it was an accident on the Iron Islands, the navy must be the main force, and this affects all the vassals in the west of the mainland
The main forces are: Stannis's royal fleet, the fleet in Lannister Port in the West, the fleets of House Tarr in the Reach and the Arbor Island.
Army: The Western Territory and the Riverlands are too far away, so they are only responsible for defending their respective coasts. Since there are not many ships in the Northern Territory and the Riverlands, they can not only defend the coasts, but also follow the fleet out to sea as a landing force.
Seeing that everything was settled, Werther found a moment and walked to the middle of the hall
"My Lord Prime Minister, after this victory, what will be done to the Greyjoy family who have committed treason?"
Everyone was surprised. For more than a year, Werther had been distracted every time he attended a meeting. Today, he spoke for the first time at a meeting, and he still made suggestions directly to the Prime Minister. Robert was also surprised.
Jon "According to the laws of the kingdom, treason should be beheaded."
[Robert always wanted to drink heavily with others after fighting, and then call each other brothers and wait for the other party to join him. But this is a group of pirates. They don't farm but rob. If they don't rob for a few years, they will be very poor. That's what he does.
It doesn't work at all.
And now his rule is not stable, and there are still many people who are loyal to the Long family, but they have no excuse to move. If the Greyjoy family attacks Robert when they are working hard, they are loyal to the Long family. Win or lose.
There are reasons to say that. But now that they had sworn allegiance to Robert a few years ago, there is no reason to raise another army.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Moreover, if the culprit of this rebellion is left unsolved, the current vassals will be dissatisfied, and the group of people who are loyal to the Long family will not worry about losing their heads, but will start to take action.]
Werther looked at Robert
"The Greyjoy family led the rebellion this time. Their family motto: Violence is better than hard work. This is obviously behind the times. I don't farm! This kind of thinking can only bring endless trouble to coastal cities.
Plunder, the pirate leader is no longer fit to rule the Iron Islands."
The nobles on the western coast of the continent began to respond. They were often harassed by the pirates of the Iron Islands, especially the Riverlands, which had been conquered by pirates. They all began to be filled with righteous indignation.
Witte went on to say, "We should respect the customs of the people of the Iron Islands. Their current king was elected through a kingselect. After our victory this time, we should also comply with the wishes of the people of the Iron Islands and hold a kingselect to end the pirate rule."<
/p>
Turning to look at Stannis
"Does the Lord Admiral consider the Iron Islanders to be good sailors?"
"Yes"
"The king also has Yiwu to let the people of the Iron Islands live a happy life, and it is very suitable for the iron people to be the navy."
After Witte finished speaking, he stood back to the crowd. The goal had been achieved. Now the Minister of the Royal Council was discussing the follow-up issues with Robert. It was finally decided that Balon and some major generals must be beheaded, and important participants must also be sent to serve as night watchmen. p>
After three consecutive weeks, the entire Westeros continent was covered. The armies gathered by vassals from various places gradually moved to the west side of the continent. Stannis and the royal fleet also sailed to the Arbor Island to join the fleet from the Reach.
And Robert received a letter from Tywin: The Lannister port had been attacked by the Iron Islands, and the fleet was almost burned. Hearing that his father-in-law's fleet had been attacked, Robert wanted to go on a personal expedition this time, leading the Kingsguard and 1,500 gold men from King's Landing.
The robe and the king led 4,000 troops westward to Lannister Port. During the march, other nobles led troops to join them.
Werther and Renly also followed the team. The Stormlands were too far away. Renly only brought 500 Stormlands Cavalry to rush forward quickly. They were led by Lord Selwyn Tarth of Duskhall. Their main task was to maneuver quickly on land.
Intercepting and killing the small number of Iron Island troops who landed or escaped ashore, Renly's own first priority was to stay by Robert's side to provide protection.
After Renly got rich, he customized a suit of armor for himself and rode a horse to show off in front of Werther.
"Mages should wear heavy armor, because the magic power will always be exhausted."
Werther warned Renly, and Renly looked at Werther in normal clothes,
"Then why don't you wear armor?"
"My magic power is more than ten times greater than yours." Renly was choked up and speechless.
"Where did you buy your long sword?" Renly saw the weapon hanging on the saddle of Werther. He had never carried a weapon before.
"Get it made by the blacksmith in King's Landing. It has the same material and craftsmanship as the sword of the Kingsguard, but it's just a little shorter."
Werther knew that this was Renly's first time on the battlefield. With Renly's strength as a mage on land, there was no need to worry, but this time it was a naval battle, and he couldn't help but be reminded.
"Remember when we went out to sea to practice ice magic at Storm's End?"
"Remember, take off your armor quickly after falling into the water, and then freeze the seawater into ice so you can climb onto the ice to rest." It seems that I haven't forgotten it yet.
Werther saw Loras Tyrell again. This boy was less than 10 years old. Like other knight squires of the same age, he originally only had to follow the rear of the army to do logistics work, but as Renly's knight squire, he would definitely follow Renly's knight squire.
When Li was around, he also told him:
"You're not wearing armor, and your costume is too obvious. Be careful of arrows. Find a shield first when you get on the boat."
"Thank you, I will pay attention." The Tyrell family is rich, and Loras is also dressed in fine clothes as a knight's squire. Because he is a big noble, even if he does logistics, he orders others to do it.
