Chapter 33 Trial by Combat (Part 2)

"Do you think the king will deceive you? You clearly want to assassinate me, and yet you still don't admit it. Jack has already confessed you!"

"I do not obey this verdict, I demand trial by combat!"

Dario found a life-saving straw for himself.

Trial by combat is a method of adjudicating disputes or accusations in the Seven Countries. When there is lack of evidence to prove that the accused is guilty, the accused can request to be resolved by trial by combat.

Each side will send a knight to fight, and Daario only needs to kill the knight sent by Aegon, then he will be found not guilty, otherwise it will prove that the gods think he is guilty!

But Aegon didn't intend to give him this chance.

If this guy really didn't do anything, he would have kept refuting, or waiting for Jack to wake up and confront him, but the other party directly asked for a trial by combat to save his life. This is equivalent to the last wave of werewolves who couldn't hold back and blew themselves up.

"There are already witnesses proving your guilt, there is no need for trial by combat!"

Daario immediately argued: "You are the king of Westeros, you should abide by the rules of Westeros!"

Jon Clinton and Jorah Mormont both stood up at the same time:

"Your Majesty, please allow trial by combat, and I will chop off his head!"

This immediately put Aegon in a difficult position. Although he could refuse this trial by combat, most kings would not refuse a proposed trial by combat.

"Your Majesty! He has this power!" Jon Clinton reminded him again when Aegon remained silent.

"Okay, I agree, Ser Jorah, you will be my acting knight!"

He really didn't know Jon Clinton's fighting ability, but Jorah Mormont, a knight who had won a tourney, should be able to defeat Daario.

If he can't win, he will find a more powerful knight to protect Daenerys.

"I am willing to serve your Majesty!" Jorah Mormont accepted the order happily.

The trial was scheduled for after breakfast, so everyone went back to make preparations. Aegon brought the fine wine from the Good Lords of Astapor and also found Jorah Mormont, a knight as strong as a bear.

He was wiping his armor and sword.

"Your Majesty!" Seeing Aegon coming, Jorah Mormont took the initiative to say hello to Aegon.

"Let's have a drink before the fight!" Aegon said and poured Jorah a glass of wine.

Jorah Mormont drank it all in one gulp, then smacked his mouth: "I still can't get used to the wine from Slaver's Bay. I prefer the strong wine from Bear Island!"

"Hahaha, I will definitely try it when I return to Westeros!"

"I will, Your Majesty."

"Then are you confident in defeating the opponent?"

Jorah Mormont smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, before any battle begins, no one has absolute certainty of victory!"

"But you are still willing to fight and kill him for me, even if you may lose your own life!"

"Yes!"

"You like Daenerys too, right?" Aegon asked suddenly.

Jorah Mormont obviously did not think of this question. He was stunned for a moment and then nodded:

"Yes, I actually like Princess Daenerys just because she looks similar to Lyness, but along the way, Princess Daenerys's kindness made me willing to die for her. She should not be subjected to such shameless treatment.

Mercenary blasphemy!"

Although Lynys was sentenced to become a nun by Aegon, Jorah Mormont was still fascinated by the wife who had betrayed him, and even took the time to find Lynys many times.

This unconscious love was replicated by him on Daenerys, but he also understood that it was impossible for him to marry Daenerys.

But he would never allow someone like Daario to blaspheme Daenerys. Even if Princess Daenerys wanted to marry, she should marry another Duke or Aegon.

Aegon patted Jorah on the shoulder: "I don't need you to die, I just need you to kill the other party! The oath of a dead knight has no effect on me!"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, that Tyroshian has no armor, and my long sword is longer than his scimitar! I will definitely chop him down!"

Aegon said in a deep voice:

"Because he has no armor, he is more flexible. You need to be careful with his scimitar. This is a ruthless mercenary!"

"Yes, he is ruthless, but other than that, he has nothing worth saying!

I have seen no fewer enemies than him! I have also worked as a mercenary in disputed areas, and many of them are not as good as well-trained knights!"

Aegon took a sip of wine: "Then go and kill him. Since he is guilty, the gods will bless you!"

Jorah also drank a drink together: "Bless the Seven Gods!"

The duel venue was chosen in the center of the camp, and the Unsullied formed a circle with a diameter of more than ten meters with their bodies and spears.

The sky was very gloomy, the sun was hidden behind the dark clouds, and a cold wind blew at the scene, which made people shiver.

The Unsullied are very disciplined and will not be attracted by these competitions, so only these dozens of Unsullied are gathered here to serve as a human fence.

Aegon and Daenerys were sitting outside the golden tent, the latter looking at Jorah Mormont with some worry.

She didn't understand the meaning of this trial by combat. Since the king found the other party guilty, shouldn't he punish the other party directly?

Daario's splendid clothes were replaced by a set of light wooden armor, which he got from the descendants of the Stormcrows. He didn't like wearing heavy plate armor, which would limit his flexibility.

.

Aegon then stood up:

“In the name of our Heavenly Father, He will vindicate the truth for your innocence!

In the name of a warrior, he will give strength to the righteous!

Now the trial by combat—begins!”

After the contest began, Daario kept walking around Jorah Mormont, waiting for Jorah's flaw to appear.

Jorah Mormont stood in the middle and kept turning around so that he was facing Daario head-on, with his sword raised in both hands, ready to slash at the opponent at any time.

"Do you think the Seven Gods of Westeros will bless you, or will they bless me?" Daario smiled at Jorah.

Jorah said contemptuously: "People like you are not worthy of talking about gods! The gods will only curse you!"

"Haha, curse, if there is really a curse from the gods, then I would have gone to hell long ago. Let me tell you, the gods of this world have already fallen asleep!"

After Daario finished speaking, he strode towards the opponent and swung the scimitar in his hand diagonally upward towards Jorah's right hand. This was the fastest way to touch Jorah's body.

Jorah Mormont immediately raised his sword to strike, and the swords collided with each other, making a harsh sound.

The two quickly pulled away, Daario's blue hair kept flying in the air, and he kept walking around Jorah, and Jorah kept adjusting his direction towards Daario:

"Only people like you would think that the gods are asleep. The gods are in people's hearts, and the devil is also here! Obviously, the devil in your heart has killed the other party!"

"Hahaha, so what if this is the case, will your god give you strength?"

After that, Daario raised his knife and slashed at Jorah's wrist, but was also blocked. Then he slashed at the opponent's neck, and this time Jorah just backed away.

"You can't interfere with me. Even if there is no god, I will kill you!"

Daario chuckled, then glanced at Daenerys:

"You also like the silver-gold-haired princess! I can see it in your eyes!"

Jorah Mormont became a little angry: "You have no right to talk about Daenerys! You bastard!"

After that, he also swung the giant sword towards the opponent once, but Daario dodged it. Daario slashed towards Jorah's side and slashed Jorah in the abdomen.

The scimitar made a sharp cutting sound as it sliced ​​through the armor, and then a stream of bright red blood flowed from Jorah's abdomen.

He was lucky to have the protection of plate armor.

"Ah!" Daenerys cried out worriedly.

Daario stood up and continued to smile: "You like her and you want to have sex with her, but with that silver-haired king here, you have to give up on her!"

Jorah Mormont touched the wound on his abdomen with his hand, stared at the other person and said coldly: "You don't understand honor at all, you are just a bastard!"

"But the bastard is going to kill you today!"

Daario continued to rush towards the knight from Bear Island, and when he was about to get close to him, he bent down and slashed at Jorah's leg. However, Jorah this time slashed his sword-holding arm with his backhand sword.

The sword cut off Dario's sword-holding hand from his shoulder!

Blood splattered everywhere, but Daario endured the severe pain and quickly took out a dagger with his left hand and shot Jorah Mormont in the neck!

Jorah tilted his head sharply, and the dagger scratched his face and ear, leaving a long scar!

Daario wanted to get up and resist, but this time Jorah didn't give him a chance and directly raised his sword to chop the opponent's head!

Dario's head left his body instantly and blood spurted out!

"I told you, you're just a bastard!" Jorah spat harshly.
Chapter completed!
