Ice and Fire: Reign of the Dragon

Chapter 101 Darren the Bold

"Sir Brandon, what's the matter?" Earl Ulwin Peake saw the front army stopped advancing and immediately rushed to Brandon Hightower's side. "Something is wrong." Brandon Hightower stared intently into the densely wooded Valley of Flowers. This valley only had a narrow dirt road for the army to pass through, and was surrounded on three sides by highlands covered with dense forests of large trees. It was simply natural. Brendan Hightower could think with his toes that Alan Bisbury, who loved ambushes, would definitely choose this place as his next ambush location.

"How many people does Alan have in total? 2,000 can support him to death." Count Urwin said confidently: "Even if the Tully family and the Kaon family come to support us, with our current strength, as long as we can withstand the first round of offensive, we will be able to wait for a while. Earl Mond's large army has arrived, and they are also our meat and potatoes." Urwin pointed to the sky. "We have Prince Daeron, and there are dragons here. If they dare to show up, we will burn them."

"The Black Party also has dragons." Brendan Hightower couldn't stand Urwin Peake's confidence. "The Blue Queen is so small that even Prince Jakaris's dragon can threaten her."

"The dragon knights of the Black Party are probably partying with that slutty bitch in King's Landing." Urwin Peake said this, and suddenly sighed: "It's a pity that I don't know about His Majesty's situation, what do you think?"

"You'd better stop talking, Earl, and go to the rear to prepare. Let's evacuate." Brandon Hightower finally couldn't help but said: "We try not to take risks, and we should prepare to retreat and wait for Earl Mond's main force. "Brandon is very clear that the usurpation of the Green Party has become a truly worthless move after Ronzel officially raised the black flag. The absolute violence that the Targaryen dynasty relies on to maintain is not the army, but the dragon. Whoever has more dragons and bigger dragons can wear the real crown. The only ones the Green Party can rely on are Vhagar and Dreamfire, but Dreamfire and the Black Party have more dragons that are good at fighting. With absolute violence at a disadvantage, the only capital the Green Party can use to prove their worth and seek reconciliation is the armies of the Reach and the West. As long as they retain this effective force, and as long as Rhaenyra is not crazy, they will not lose even if they lose. It would be too ugly.

"Retreat? Why?" Before Earl Urwin could finish his words, an extremely sharp neighing sound suddenly came from the sky. I saw Blue Queen Tesserion, who had been scouting in the sky just now, suddenly let out a sharp cry. Darren hurriedly lowered his body: "Tesserion, calm down, calm down." From the message sent by his partner, Darren immediately understood what happened. Tesserion discovered that the woods below contained his kind, and they were very dangerous.

"There is an ambush! The rear team becomes the front team, and the whole army retreats!" Brandon Hightower immediately verified his guess. It seemed that not only was there an ambush, but the ambush was not small. There is probably a dragon in the woods. "Ulwin, go to the rear immediately and command the retreat!" Brandon Hightower gave Urwin's horse a whip, and before Urwin could react, he was rushed to the rear by his own horse. "Knights dismount and prepare for foot combat, longbowmen and crossbowmen prepare for cover, and light cavalry flanks prepare!"

"Heh." Valar fastened the straps of the dragon saddle, "It seems that we really can't underestimate the dragon's senses. Silver Wing, it's our turn to play. Xiaojie, I'll fight Tesselien, and you can help Hai Let’s send a fire to Tal.”

Jakaris nodded, and Womax shook the leaves on his body excitedly, flapped his wings, and suddenly flew high from the woods.

Brandon Hightower immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Womax was about the same size as Thessalyon and was not a big threat. The heavily armored knights wearing plate and chain armor dismounted one after another and formed a simple front line with the heavy armored infantry in the front army, preparing to cover the rear army. "Longbowmen and crossbowmen are ready to cover Prince Daeron and attack the riders and the dragon's eyes." As soon as he finished speaking, a black cloud rose up in the woods, and dense arrows rained down on Hightower's army. Almost everyone in the army was heavily armored and equipped with shields. The dense rain of arrows bounced off the plate armor or stuck on the shields. Hightower's bows and arrows also launched a counterattack.

"Archers, don't stop." Although Count Vanson Caon, the chief retainer of the Varese family, is old, he is still an outstanding general. He was entrusted to the East Blemont Valley by Longzel. He built a strong stone fortress, Caon Castle, by the river. In the year when the castle was completed, that is, when he was 57 years old, he successfully gave birth to the son of the Caon family with his 23-year-old Valyrian wife. Heir, a beautiful boy. Long Zell personally named the chief retainer's child "Lei Geng", which is a variant of his eldest son's name "Lingol", to show that he attaches great importance to the chief retainer's family. Now 3 years old, Lei Geng... Kaon was taken to Dragon Nest City by Long Zell and grew up with Ringor.

Now Old Fansen no longer has any scruples. The old man is wearing silver heavy armor. The heavy armor almost bends the old man's waist, but the old man still holds his spear and talks to the commander of the Unsullied in the Silver Blood Army. The Silver Scorpions stood together: "The Unsullied come out to withstand Hightower's heavy infantry. Earl Tully, your cavalry is on standby. Earl Bisbury, you take the archers to cover the Unsullied's gun array." ”

Donald Tully nodded and returned to his horse. "Alan, follow closely." Alan Tully also rode back on his horse and drew his long sword.

Darren saw Womax flying up from the woods and quietly breathed a sigh of relief. "Tesserion, attack."

Tesserion roared, flapped his wings several times, and suddenly increased his speed, approaching Womax who had just laid flat. The Blue Queen opened her slender dragon head and sprayed a mouthful of deep blue flames at Womax. Womax folded his wings without hesitation, dodged the dragon flames with a dive, and took advantage of the moment when Tesserion just shut up and prepared for close combat to suddenly climb up and circled behind Tesserion.

"Bastard Jer, get out of my way!"

"Daylan, be careful, your opponent is not me, Womax, dodge, dragon flame interference." Jacaerys looked at Daylan with a flash of pity in his eyes. With his body tightly pressed against the dragon saddle, Womax flapped his wings and bounced off the arrows flying from below, and a spherical dark green dragon flame sprayed out, exploding in front of Tesserion who had just turned around, and the dragon flames scattered, and Daylan hurriedly raised his arms to block his face.

The dragon flames dissipated. Vermax had already dived towards the Hightower army on the ground. The crossbowmen and longbowmen had no time to suppress the Unsullied heavy infantry of the Vareses family, and hurriedly shot into the sky, but all the arrows were bounced off by Vermax's scales and thick skin.

Vermax had such thick skin at this age thanks to Shadowmare. The dragon with a scalp as hard as bone not only grew fast, but also loved to snatch food from Vermax. The two dragons snatched from Shadowmare, which was much smaller than Vermax, to Shadowmare, which was about the same size as Vermax, and even longer than Vermax. Of course, the relationship between the two dragons was not bad. They often stole Silverwing's food together in the dragon cave. They were driven out of the dragon cave by Vermithor several times, and could only fly to the top platform of the Twin Towers to ask their partners to take them in.

"Tesserion, stop Vermax!" Daeron waved his hand to clear the smoke and dust in front of him, and suddenly saw Vermax diving towards his own position. The heavy-armored infantry and dismounted knights of the family had already faced the spear formation of the Unsullied. The two sides were almost bleeding the moment they collided. The spears of the first row of Unsullied were twenty feet long, which was extremely difficult to hit or poke at the infantry. However, the first row of the Hightower family were all dismounted knights with superb martial arts. The knights either nimbly dodged the spears, sent their swords into the gaps of the Unsullied's heavy armor, or raised their axes and hammers to smash the spears and fight with the Unsullied in close combat. Both sides were wearing heavy armor, and the sound of steel colliding was heard in front of the woods. However, the Unsullied were castrated men after all, and soon they were a little exhausted. But the iron-like discipline and the characteristics of ignoring pain allowed the Unsullied to withstand the attack of the dismounted knights.

The Blue Queen roared and swooped down, and at this moment, a huge black shadow finally flew up from the woods. The Blue Queen tried to dodge in panic, but the dragon was bigger and faster.

Brandon Hightower opened the spear of the Unsullied, and the warhammer in his left hand hit the spiked helmet of the Unsullied heavily, directly denting the helmet. The Unsullied even wanted to retract the spear to stab. Fortunately, Knight Jon Rockton rode past the Unsullied on his horse, and his Valyrian steel sword "Orphan Maker" cut off the head of the Unsullied in one fell swoop.

"Seven layers of hell." Seeing the silver dragon fiercely pounce on Tesserien, Brandon Hightower felt that his eyes were black and black.

Silver Wing opened its dragon mouth like an eagle hunting sparrows, and bit the wings of the Blue Queen. The Blue Queen immediately struggled, twisting her slender neck, and sprayed a mouthful of deep blue dragon flames at Silver Wing's head. Silver Wing closed his eyes, and with a flick of his dragon head, Tesserien screamed and fell to the ground like a rag bag that was thrown out.

"Tesserion, balance, balance." Daeron pulled the gauntlet hard, and Tesserion screamed in pain, but finally stabilized his body and flapped his uninjured wings - the other half of the wing was almost bitten off by Silver Wing. He barely flew up.

"Daeron, do you have the courage to come over!" Valar roared: "Come, face me like Luthris!"

Daeron silently pulled down the visor of his helmet. "Tesserion, attack!"

Tesserion roared and rushed towards the swooping Silver Wing.

The hot dragon blood spilled, and wherever the blood fell, both the soldiers of Hightower and the Unsullied twisted in pain.

"Tesserion, attack!" Daeron roared and rushed towards the open dragon mouth of Silver Wing.
