Game of Thrones: Battle Royale Game

After Ian returned to Prince's Square, the third battle was not over yet.

To be precise, Ian happened to catch up with the scene where Ander Poole pierced Barry's breastplate with a sword in both hands and buried the tip of the sword into his chest.

This scene shocked Ian greatly. His first reaction was, can this kid be so strong?

But the next moment, he realized that this should be caused by the poor quality of A.

Even the most ordinary medium-carbon steel plate armor cannot be directly pierced by a half-hand sword, so the mercenary warrior's breastplate is most likely made of wrought iron, or at most low-carbon steel, and it may not have been surface-hardened.

Later, Ian remembered the scenes in the original novel or the TV series where the armor was penetrated by swords and spears, and what Roel said when he taught himself sword stabbing skills that mastering the 'stab' skillfully is enough to deal with most enemies.

All these details made Ian start to wonder whether he had overestimated the steelmaking technology in this world? Is the quality of armor in this world generally not good enough? Or at least the quality varies greatly? The good ones can be good to a certain extent, but most of them are parallel imports.

Although Barry is just a mercenary, his equipment is not good enough to draw this conclusion.

What about the Magic Mountain? The Mountain serves as the top thug of Lord Tywin, who can pull gold. Wasn't his breastplate also pierced by Oberyn Martell with a spear?

Oberyn's spear is poisoned, not enchanted! Being able to be penetrated by a spear shows that Magic Mountain's plate armor is also of mediocre quality.

If we continue to look for evidence according to this idea, the mainstream weapon of the knights in Westeros in the original work is still the sword, rather than the page hammer and pickaxe used for professional can opening, which also confirms this point.

This also explains why there are so many medium and light armors among the agent warriors on both sides of Hazan and Suda. The agent warriors are short of money, but Hazan and Suda are not short of money. They can provide better armor for the agent warriors. , but they think it is not necessary.

Thinking of this, Ian laughed sarcastically. He realized that he had probably preconceived the idea of ​​directly matching the technology tree here to the mid-to-late 15th century because the original book made a lot of references to the War of the Roses.

But they ignore that plate armor is continuously strengthened in the process of competing with firearms. In the world of ice and fire, there are no firearms, so people here will naturally not pursue the improvement of armor performance excessively.

In the world of ice and fire, where summer and winter last for several years, the weird climate makes it difficult to click on the technology trees of various basic industries, including iron smelting.

The quality of armor in the world of ice and fire (without enchantment) may be more reasonable if it is compared to the late 13th century to the early 14th century.

As Ander Poole limped off the stage, the tourney entered the preparation time for the fourth game.

"Ander Poole is injured?" After seeing this scene, Ian asked Yada who had returned to the stands.

"At the beginning, Ander Poole obviously had the absolute advantage. At one point, he hit three of Barley's swords without suffering any damage. But for some reason, Ander suddenly froze at some point during the battle. , and then the right leg joint was injured by Barry's hand axe." Yada smacked his lips.

"Although Ander Pool reacted quickly and took advantage of Barry's approach to complete the counterattack, his subsequent combat effectiveness will definitely be affected."

Hearing this, Ian smiled.

He deliberately chose to kill Ender's ally Belz when Ender was fighting, in order to let the system message about Belz's killing interfere with Ender's performance on stage.

Although this didn't allow Ender to lose to Barry, it was a good gain if he could get his leg injured.

Candidates for the fourth contest were quickly dispatched by both sides. This time Hazan sent his red-robed monk, Shai, who had served as the Hand of the Holy Fire in the Great Red Temple on the top of the mountain.

This man was wearing chain armor, without a helmet, and was holding a fighting spear about three and a half meters long, with flames burning at the tip of the spear.

And Suda sent out another champion gladiator.

Ian did not rush to watch the game. Instead, he logged into the auxiliary system in the stands and began to check what he had just gained.

[Successfully kill a player, gain 4 points, seize 6 points, and gain 1 extra point of mental power]

Damn poor guy! Seeing this seizure and additional profits, Ian couldn't help but curse secretly.

It is obvious that Belz gave almost all his resources to Ender, leaving only a few points to ensure that he would not fall into the last three, and almost no points for himself.

This made Ian's desire to have his men kill Ander Poole even stronger. After all, only in this way could he get the corresponding benefits from the kill.

Later, Ian checked his updated layout:

[Ian: Strength 32, Agility 27, Mental Strength 22

Skills: Basic etiquette, basic reading and writing in Common Tongue, proficient swordsmanship, advanced equestrian skills, intermediate lance, intermediate level skinchanger, basic green seer

Attribute points: 0

Skill points: 2

Points: 62

Props: Scroll of basic skills of your choice

Skill Upgrade Scroll]

After confirming that there were no other problems, he logged out of the system and started watching the game again.

The battle lasted for nearly twenty minutes. Although Suda's slave warrior almost killed the monk Shai several times, he was eventually exhausted by him and was shot through the chest to death.

The battle came to the fifth scene. Suda sent a Dothraki slave warrior. Ian was eager to resolve the battle and did not give Ander Poole more time to recover, so he suggested that Hazan send Bronn.

Bronn lived up to his expectations and killed the centaur warrior in the fourth minute of the battle.

In this way, the competition reached the sixth game, and it was Hazan's turn to send someone first.

At this time, there are two spots left in Suda's camp, one can only be given to himself, and the other will definitely be given to the Iban man known as the 'Elephant Hunter'.

Theoretically, it is impossible for Suda and Hazan to play in person until the end, so the opponent will most likely send the elephant hunter in the next game.

The Elephant Hunter has never fought in the White Sands Arena, but his reputation is far-reaching. Ian cannot know his specific strength, so he plans to let Hazan's people test the water first. Anyway, apart from Hazan himself, there are still other people on Hazan's side. There are two places available for the battle, and the previous few games have resulted in more wins than losses, so the error tolerance rate is very high.

But Hazan seemed unwilling to bear such a loss, so the two of them came up with a name - Jorah Mormont.

That guy is from Varys, and Ian will definitely not be able to take him with him in the future, so Ian doesn't care much about his life and death, and to Hazan, Jorah is just a mercenary who gets paid to do things.

So Hazan sent Jorah in the sixth game.

As expected, the opponent sent elephant hunters in response.

It was a long-haired guy. He had an unusually broad chest and shoulders. His lower limbs were slightly shorter and his upper limbs were slightly longer. He was full of muscles. He carried three throwing spears on his back. He held a short-handled iron ax in his right hand and a short-handled iron ax in his left hand. He was holding a furry brown shield.

Iban is an island nation located on the Shivering Sea north of the continent of Essos. Its residents mainly make a living by hunting whales, but the strongest warriors among them will hunt mammoths on the ice sheet. , thus getting the title of elephant hunters. This race is short and strong, but generally not very intelligent.

The Iban people did not speak Common Language or Valyrian at all, so both sides skipped the self-introduction and salutes, and the referee directly announced the start of the game.

The elephant hunter moved upon hearing the sound, took two steps to run, and then threw a spear in his hand at Jorah.

The range of the battle platform was not too large, and the spear came to Jorah's eyes almost instantly. Jorah ducked to one side, narrowly avoiding this spear, but unexpectedly, the elephant hunter's next spear came one after another. To, pierced his abdomen directly, took Jorah flying out, and then nailed him to the battle platform.

"This monster." Ian and Hazan looked at each other, and they could see the surprise in each other's eyes.

Is this the greatest confidence that Ander Poole has in daring to participate in such a life-and-death contest in person?

Two points to explain:

First, the level of armor in the world of ice and fire: I got myself into trouble after testing it several times, so I decided not to test it again.

The final setting of this book is: Most of them are made of wrought iron or low carbon steel. Occasionally, high-quality medium carbon steel plate armor will appear. Enchantments are not included.

Second, Bronn's strength: It's actually hard to say this question, because he hasn't shown any particularly strong highlights, nor has he suffered big losses, so it's hard to tell where his upper limit is. In the setting of this book, he may be stronger than some readers have the impression of him.
