Dominate the Game of Thrones with Mount and Blade

Chapter 43 Eliminating the Wild Boar

"Are you all going to King's Landing to participate in the tournament?" Lady Hean asked coldly while sitting on the main seat.

The dim hall, the flickering candlelight, the old and weak servants, and the listless countess were all that was shown to Arthur and his party.

After the death of Earl Walter Hean and his four sons, Lady Hean had always been a secluded person, and had basically no contact with outsiders.

There were no other members of the Hean family, only a few distant relatives.

In fact, because their mother Minisa came from the Hean family, Edmure, Catelyn, and Lysa were the first heirs to the largest castle in the Seven Kingdoms.

"Yes." Desmond replied.

But Patrick obviously disagreed: "Not entirely, I just went to see it."

"Anyway, you are all going to King's Landing. I haven't been there for a long time?" Lady Hean sighed.

Arthur slandered in his heart, you don't even go out of Harrenhal, how can you get to King's Landing?

After Patrick introduced their itinerary of landing at the lower reaches of the Red Fork River, riding forward, and arriving here all the way south, Lady Hean generously asked the steward to prepare a sumptuous dinner for them.

"I knew it was the right choice to come here." Patrick said with a smile.

He could finally eat the goose meat he had been longing for.

Arthur was also very happy. The life on horseback for a few days was really tiring, and the food along the way was not very satisfactory. Now he could rest well.

In order to avoid the crowds on the King's Road, they specially chose the road on the west side to move forward, but because there were few inns and few noble castles along the way, their life was a little more difficult.

Finally, after a few days of running around, the group arrived here.

Harrenhal is large enough to accommodate Tywin's 20,000 troops, but it is obvious that the Hean family does not use much area at this moment.

According to rumors, Lady Hean and her servants only moved around in some areas on the lower three floors of Harrenhal, and the rest of the place was deserted.

According to what Arthur saw, there were less than a hundred people alive in the castle at the moment.

Considering that there were still soldiers, the number of servants was really inconsistent with the earldom.

Desmond was much older than his companions. After carefully observing the unfortunate countess, he raised his doubts:

"It seems that something is bothering you? Can my companions and I help you solve your worries?"

"It's not a big deal, so I won't bother you. Just have dinner and rest early." Lady Hean was very polite.

Her butler came in at this moment, "It's just a few wild boars, but they are running rampant in the castle and causing some injuries. If these gentlemen are willing to help, we will have much less trouble."

Patrick was very surprised and exclaimed: "How can wild boars get into the castle? Where are your guards? The population near the God's Eye Lake is so dense, how can wild boars run alive?"

He asked a series of questions, and his relaxed tone even made the dim candlelight in the hall cheerful.

Arthur was not surprised by this. In his previous life, Jinling was a huge city with a population of millions, and wild boars were still rampant.

The old butler replied politely: "Harrenhal is so big that our dozens of guards can't defend it all the way. Fortunately, wild boars don't come to the places where people live in the castle. As for how they escape human hunting, I also want to know."

The butler told the hidden truth, but Mrs. He An did not agree to let the guests help.

Although Desmond and Arthur also wanted to help, the host disagreed, and the scene was temporarily awkward.

[Mission: Help Harrenhal eliminate the wild boars]

The blue light screen appeared at the right time, and Arthur decided to help.

"Let's give it a try. I heard from the steward that someone in the castle has been injured because of this. If it is delayed any longer, it will cause greater harm." He said in a firm tone.

The steward looked at Arthur with praise and liked his statement.

Of course, he also complained about the wife's pedantry in his heart.

The family has reached the point where they can't even deal with the wild boars that broke into the house, and they still hold the airs of the earl family and don't let the enthusiastic guests do any work.

It's really a shame to be so stubborn!

Seeing that everyone present disagreed with her, Mrs. He An nodded and acquiesced to this matter after a long silence.

"Great, we will get rid of these scourges tomorrow."

Patrick shouted loudly, acting as if he was the main person pushing this matter.

Arthur didn't care about the heir of Haijiang City who was in the limelight, because the dinner was served by the servants.

The living room was large enough, and more than a dozen followers ate with them at other tables.

After expressing her apologies for not being able to accompany them, the countess left, and the steward accompanied them to feast.

After finishing three pieces of charcoal grilled steaks, a plate of foie gras, two fat chicken legs, and seven or eight glasses of cider, Arthur touched his stomach and went to the guest room arranged for him.

The rest of the people also rested.

...

The next morning, the armory.

"You can choose these armors and weapons." The steward Richard said loudly.

Arthur and the others were not polite and tried them directly.

Wild boars are not easy animals to deal with.

As the old saying goes, one pig, two bears, and three tigers.

This does not mean that wild boars are more powerful than bears or tigers, but that they cause more harm to humans than the other two.

Among the twenty people, excluding the stable boys and servants, there are twelve warriors, plus a dozen ordinary soldiers from the He An family, a total of thirty people.

It is still easy to deal with a few wild boars. After shooting from a long distance with a powerful crossbow and avoiding the pigs' sudden advance, use a greatsword or a spear to attack the pigs' sides.

Arthur also chose a set of black iron armor and put it on.

The armor he wore before was a set of chain mail given by the Lord of Bracken. The original owner had a beautiful set of plate armor, but it was destroyed in the second battle at the Stonehedge City Arena.

This time when he went to King's Landing, he did not bring that set of chain mail, so now he needs a set of sturdy armor.

"This plate armor is so beautiful, it fits me so well!" Jules' voice floated into Arthur's ears.

He looked back and saw that his uncle had put on a set of silver armor without hesitation.

"You still have to return it, don't damage it."

Jules touched the armor happily, "I know, I know. Don't forget the set you promised me, I'll want it after I go to King's Landing."

Arthur nodded. He now had more than 2,000 gold dragons in his hand, so there was no pressure to buy a few sets of customized armor.

Then, the He'an soldiers gave each of them a pair of rocker capstan crossbows.

The biggest advantage of this crossbow is that it saves effort. Even King Joffrey can easily load arrows, which shows how low the threshold for its use is.

Seeing that everyone was ready, the butler Richard walked up to Desmond and said:

"The task of eliminating the wild boar is left to you."

Arthur was happy. He was obviously the strongest fighter in the field, but Richard found Desmond directly.

He really had no sense of vision.

Desmond also knew that he was not as good as the Lord of the Moulin Rouge, "That Mr. Arthur is stronger, you should let him lead the team."

Richard turned his head and looked at Arthur. He felt that this handsome young man was tall enough, but not strong. He shook his head and said, "You should do it."
