The Kingslayer rode brilliantly. He overthrew Ser Andar Royce and the Marcher Lord Bryce Caron as easily as if he were riding at rings, and then took a hard-fought match from white-haired Barristan Selmy, who had won his first two tilts against men thirty and forty years his junior.
"弒君者"戰績輝煌，他如騎馬表演般輕取安達·羅伊斯爵士和邊疆地的布萊斯·卡倫伯爵，接著又與巴利斯坦·賽爾彌展開激戰，巴利斯坦爵士前兩回合均擊敗比自己年輕三四十歲的對手。
Sandor Clegane and his immense brother, Ser Gregor the Mountain, seemed unstoppable as well, riding down one foe after the next in ferocious style. The most terrifying moment of the day came during Ser Gregor's second joust, when his lance rode up and struck a young knight from the Vale under the gorget with such force that it drove through his throat, killing him instantly. The youth fell not ten feet from where Sansa was seated. The point of Ser Gregor's lance had snapped off in his neck, and his life's blood flowed out in slow pulses, each weaker than the one before. His armor was shiny new; a bright streak of fire ran down his outstretched arm, as the steel caught the light. Then the sun went behind a cloud, and it was gone. His cloak was blue, the color of the sky on a clear summer's day, trimmed with a border of crescent moons, but as his blood seeped into it, the cloth darkened and the moons turned red, one by one.
桑鐸·克里岡和他巨人般的哥哥"魔山"格雷果爵士同樣是無人能擋，他倆剛猛地擊敗一個又一個對手。當天最恐怖的事便發生在格雷果爵士第二次出場時，只見他的長槍上翹，正中一名來自艾林谷的年輕騎士護喉甲下，因為力道過猛，長槍直穿咽喉，對方當即斃命。年輕騎士摔在離珊莎座位不到十尺的地方，格雷果爵士的槍尖打斷了他的脖子，鮮血隨著越來越衰弱的脈搏向外汩汩流出。他的鎧甲晶亮嶄新，日光照射下，他向外伸張的雙臂宛如兩條竄動的火紋。直到后來云層遮住太陽，火焰才沒了影子。他的披風是夏日晴空的天藍，上面繡著道道新月，但鮮血滲透，披風顏色轉暗，那上面的月亮也一個接一個變得血紅。
