As the two knights gave orders simultaneously, the squires, who had already switched positions, also rushed out hurriedly, instantly handing over the weapons their masters needed.
Seeing this, Jon already knew the ending of the story.
Now, he just needed to watch quietly, and he would see the Mountain being overturned by his warhorse.
After that, no matter how the nobles exclaimed, as long as the Hound intervened in time, it would ultimately be nothing but a false alarm.
Thinking of this, Jon subconsciously cast his gaze towards Joffrey, wanting to find the figure of the true knight.
However, seemingly feeling the illusion of being watched in the crowd, the Prince also turned his head and followed the gaze. When he saw that it was Snow looking at him...
His originally arrogant gaze instantly froze, and he subconsciously turned his head to the side.
However, Jon didn't take this to heart.
All because the Hound, who should have been guarding Joffrey without leaving a step, was not on the viewing stand at this moment!
"What the fck?! What's the situation??"
Seeing this scene, Jon cursed inwardly, subconsciously sensing something was wrong.
Although Ser Loras's role was not important, the current Jon had gradually figured out the operating rules of this System.
In this Game of Thrones world, almost everyone had their predetermined destiny—so-called qualitative change is constant!
As for the decisions people made, they were akin to quantitative changes, accumulating to fine-tune the direction of events to a certain extent, but with little effect.
The balance between the two was like Varys's spider web; seemingly calm, but a slight vibration would affect the fate of every node.
And his dog System dismantled this fragile balance irregularly, making Jon fill in the cracks!
So at this moment, Jon felt like he was about to crack open, simply because a tragedy was about to happen right before his eyes.
Of course, even knowing that Ser Loras's role was important and his sister was even more covetable, Jon didn't have the strength to challenge the Mountain, nor was he prepared to attack rashly.
Moreover, the Mountain, this beast, was not the Hound. Once he went crazy, let alone himself, even if Robert stood in front of him, he would probably be hacked to death.
So no matter what, the transmigrator had to stay calm and wait for the Hound to strike!
But in the next moment, as screams rang out one after another, a spray of blood instantly burst from Ser Loras's shoulder.
And the onlooking nobles had no time to stop this brutal act and subconsciously closed their eyes.
However, the expected scream was replaced by a "CLANG" of metal clashing.
Then, when the audience's gazes turned to the center of the field, they found a tall masked knight holding a sword blocking in front of the Mountain, protecting Ser Loras behind him.
Seeing such a heroic and fearless scene, almost everyone on the field cheered.
"Seven Gods above, that's great!"
"Ah! It's Ser Dontos!"
That's right, the brave man who heroically appeared and saved the Knight of Flowers at this moment was none other than the transmigrator himself.
As for whether glory gave him great courage, it naturally wasn't Jon's original intention. Only the person holding the sword understood how dangerous his current situation was.
Just at the last moment, Jon's heart only flashed a trace of pity and temptation, and the dog System popped out very "humanely," and immediately issued a limited-time mission again.
[Tremendous wealth is right before your eyes. As long as you save Ser Loras, you can use this as an excuse to lay a finger on the Rose of Highgarden...]
By the time he read this, Jon had already jumped off the viewing stand and drawn his longsword to meet the enemy.
But unlike before, this time the transmigrator didn't choose fully automatic mode. Instead, taking advantage of the System not yet going crazy, he walked the other party's path first, leaving the dog System with no path to walk.
After all, according to past tradition, no matter how Jon struggled, when encountering key points affecting the Game of Thrones world, he would be put on One-Click Auto-Pilot and sent to his death online.
Instead of being manipulated every time, it was better to be bold and experiment one step ahead to see what bugs this retarded System had.
As for why Jon had this courage, it was naturally because the best way to overthrow a try-hard was to double down on execution until the whole thing crashed and returned to the right track.
So at this moment, people could only see a blurred shadow constantly blocking the Mountain's attacks in front of Ser Loras.
However, this came at the cost of overdrawing his stamina.
As the protagonist facing the storm directly, Jon was complaining bitterly at this moment.
With the Mountain's heavy blows one after another, the transmigrator felt his arms suffering impacts like mountains crashing down. He had lost sensation and would drop dead in the next moment.
What could support him now relied entirely on the Valyrian steel longsword captured from the Prince.
Just in terms of strength, the Mountain exceeded him by unknown times. If nothing unexpected happened, a few more blows would be his moment of death.
Fortunately, Jon had grasped the characteristics of the System. As long as he didn't suffer direct damage, even if his stamina was exhausted, this dog thing wouldn't exit the hosting mode.
Therefore, in the last second before his stamina ran out, the transmigrator gritted his teeth and awakened the System.
"System-bro! Big Brother System! If you don't want to die together, give me Intelligent Auto-Pilot!"
As Jon's hoarse shout rang out, he instantly felt his body lighten, and the situation was just as he imagined.
Although the Mountain swung his longsword in a full circle and smashed Jon into the ground like a wooden stake, because he was already under Auto-Pilot, even if his stamina was exhausted, it could only be considered an overdraft.
Even luckier, the Valyrian steel longsword was almost indestructible. Every attack was successfully blocked, preventing the Auto-Pilot from being canceled.
Therefore, the fragile balance was maintained.
As the Mountain raised his longsword high above his head again, everyone on the viewing stand silently closed their eyes.
They had already seen that the brave knight could no longer raise his longsword and was sinking deep into the mud with the Mountain's crazy attacks.
So even if the knight wasn't beheaded, his insides should have been shattered by the huge force at this moment.
However, in the next moment, as a violent metal clash sounded, a tooth-aching, ear-piercing friction sound also resounded through the entire viewing stand.
As the Mountain's greatsword was raised high and smashed toward Jon with unstoppable force, it was instantly cut into two pieces.
Accompanied by the sudden disintegration of the longsword in his hand, the Mountain, who was chopping down with full force, stumbled and fell towards Jon.
In the next moment, only a slight sound was heard, and then a miserable scream resounded through the entire arena.
The huge weight coupled with unstoppable momentum caused the Mountain to fall directly onto Jon's blade, and his face visor and nose bridge were cut off by this divine weapon.
At this moment, Ser Gregor the Mountain really lived up to his name, looking exactly like a blood-soaked demon.
Then, when the demon crawled up from the ground, he suddenly pounced on Jon again, completely ignoring the longsword already leveled and pointing at his chest!
