Chapter 586: Judgment by Martial Arts
Oberyn knew that this group of Unsullied soldiers really killed without blinking an eye.
If they say they want to kill someone, or cut off each other's hands and feet, as long as they say something or do something, you better believe they're not joking.
Because Oberyn had never seen an Unsullied soldier make a joke.
Oberyn stopped, the Unsullied soldiers raised their heads and glanced at the black worm, while the black worm standing on the steps stared at the prisoner below with a cold gaze, and then nodded.
wow——
The six Unsullied soldiers released the prisoner and stepped aside.
"King Robert of House Baratheon."
The Unsullied soldiers escorted the prisoner to the Iron Throne, and the atmosphere in the field was a little tense. Then Oberyn, the chief judge, put down his Erlang's legs and coughed lightly.
The person who came was the former King Robert Baratheon, who was imprisoned in the prison.
He has been imprisoned in the Red Keep for more than a year. This is the first time he has appeared in front of the world, and even before this, like Eddard Stark, Duke of Winterfell, people have rumored that this two people Already died in the Red Fort, tortured to death.
However, it now seems that Ed is not dead, and there is no trace of punishment on his body. Viserys will not lynch them.
And King Robert was also unscathed, but his face was a little pale, because he often did not see the sun.
Unshaven, the steel beard that used to be under the jaw has now become a steel ball, and the hair is messy and long and curly like a chicken coop.
Hearing the sound coming from the Iron Throne above, the prisoner standing in the center of the throne room below slowly raised his head, his eyes were full of bloodshot eyes, which seemed to make people shudder.
However, Oberyn did not fear Robert's eyes. Although Robert can be called brave among kings, which is synonymous with strength, the Prince of Dorne is not bad at all.
"King Robert."
"The man next to you is the killer of your second brother, Stannis Baratheon, Ser Balon Swan of Stonehelm."
Sitting on the Iron Throne, Oberyn spoke loudly, and his voice echoed in the silent throne room.
"He committed murder, of a noble nobleman outside a just war."
Oberyn didn't blink when he said these words. If Baron Swan had assassinated Stannis and committed murder, Oberyn would have already been regarded as heinous, and ten times of death would not be enough.
But brazenly ordering the massacre of the city and the assassination of a noble aristocrat behind the scenes are two different things.
The former would not dare to protest if the nobles didn’t hold up their arms, just like killing a person can only be called a killer, and killing a thousand people and ten thousand people becomes a king, the meaning of the two is roughly the same. .
So Oberon, who killed many people, is still famous in the Seven Kingdoms, and people like Balon Swan or Gregor Clegane, the 'Mountain', are just brutal or backstabbing thugs and killers. Considered a disgrace to a knight, only slightly better than a kingslayer.
"However, the gods have given us a chance to reform. Between joining the Night's Watch to the Great Wall and the trial by combat, Ser Balon Swan chose the trial by combat, and I believe it will give him a fair trial."
There was silence in the throne room, and only Oberyn's voice sounded. Balon Swan's father, Gulian Swan, Earl of Stonehelm, clenched his fists nervously, and then saw Oberyn shrugging his shoulders. Continue to speak.
"But unfortunately, no one is willing to fight for your second brother, Lord Stannis Baratheon, who has died."
"That's why we disturbed your rest in the cell of the Red Keep, King Robert—"
"Are you willing to fight in place of Stannis?"
Oberyn's voice fell, and the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms standing in the throne room all looked at each other, and couldn't help but whisper.
Now there is only one chair in the throne room, the Iron Throne, and the rest of the chairs have been removed. When the king sits on the Iron Throne, the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms, including members of the royal family, can only stand or kneel.
And from now on, the Iron Throne will only be reserved for the king, and no one should touch it. Now, in addition to the three academies that are under construction in King's Landing, there is also a Judgment Hall under construction, which will be reserved for the Minister of Justice in the future. Office space, Oberyn still needs to borrow the Throne Room to work until the Judgment Hall is built.
The nobles of the Seven Nations in the audience were talking about it, but Robert Baratheon, who was standing in the center with chains on his hands and feet, didn't say a word. Balon Swan, like a silent lion, made the also very burly Sir Swan feel a little drum in his heart.
Although he was very confident in himself, and King Robert had been behind bars for over a year, he himself agreed to the trial.
But he didn't know why Baron Swain faced Robert's eyes, and he felt a little uneasy in his heart.
"No one wants to fight for Stannis?"
"Hmph, that's what he is."
There were whispers in the throne room, and then King Robert, who was standing in the center, finally spoke. His voice was low and hoarse, like rolling thunder, and then a cold snort came from under the messy hair.
"bring it on!"
"I'm his big brother, I'm here to fight for him!"
Then he raised his hands, the heavy chains rattled, and two Soldiers of the Unsullied stepped forward to untie the ropes for the former king, Robert Baratheon.
And Robert didn't take the opportunity to attack, just moved his hands and feet a little, and then there were Unsullied soldiers in order to carry the armor and his usual Storm Hammer.
On the other side, Balon Swen also had soldiers to help him put on his armor. Bright armor hung on his body. The heir of Stone Helm City didn't know why his breathing was a little short, and he seemed to be a little nervous. King Robert.
To duel with a king?
This was something Baron Swain had never imagined before.
After such a long time, he may now regret his initial impulse, but he did not expect that the final trial by combat would be King Robert, who was imprisoned in the prison, fighting for Stannis and against himself.
What if he was about to accidentally kill King Robert?
Would you be called a 'Kingslayer' yourself?
The heir of Stone Helm City was a little upset, and his natural breathing was a little short.
On the other hand, Robert Baratheon seemed very calm. Although life in prison had made him thinner, it had not destroyed his body.
He put on the last black goggles, and took the heavy Storm Hammer from the arms of the Unsullied soldier with one hand, then turned his head to look at Balon, who was also neatly dressed. · Sven.
