Game of Thrones: Roar of the Dragon

Chapter 101: The Final Battle of Junlin, the Dance of Ten Dragons

On the King's Road, Jakaris' ground forces were heading north.

After four or five days of marching at a normal pace, they were only half a day's journey away from King's Landing.

Wheel, wheel!
In the fully enclosed cargo compartment of a transport carriage, Christon Cole's hands and feet were tied tightly with ropes as thick as his thumb.

The cargo door opened and a figure nimbly moved in.

"Oh? Is it your turn to torture me today?

Haha, those minor wounds that didn’t hurt at all before couldn’t pry my mouth open.

If you have the guts, come up with something more ruthless!"

Christon, whose lips were extremely pale but whose face was very rosy, spoke immediately in a provocative tone when he saw the person coming.

Jacaerys, who had just sat in the carriage, smiled when he heard this: "Sir Christon, don't be so eager to die.

I have good news for you. Aemond has agreed to exchange prisoners.

In half a day, you can return to King's Landing."

"Exchange prisoners? Me for whom? Little Aegon?"

Christon frowned when he heard this and asked back in an uncertain tone.

Seeing Jakaris nod in confirmation, he immediately shook his head and said,
"Impossible, he can't possibly trade Aegon for me!"

"Haha, maybe you are more important than I thought!"

Jakaris replied with a smile, then stepped forward and rolled up Christon's sleeves.

His forearms were covered with tiny wounds about three or four centimeters long.

These are the painless torture methods that Christon just mentioned.

But he had no idea that Jakaris had people cutting him every day not for the purpose of torture.

I saw that a considerable number of these tiny wounds had become red, swollen and inflamed. If I squeezed them a little, yellow-white sticky pus would flow out.

Jacaerys touched Christon's forehead with the back of his hand and found that his ruddy complexion was actually caused by body heat.

After confirming that his goal had been achieved, he left the transport carriage under Christon's puzzled gaze.

It would be strange if Christon's wound didn't get infected after cutting his arm every day with a rusty dagger soaked in feces.

Even if he was exchanged for prisoners and released back to King's Landing, he would still die.

Half a day later, this army of nearly 8,000 people arrived at the other side of the River Gate of King's Landing.

Knowing that Jacaerys' army was coming, King's Landing would naturally not lower the drawbridge across the river outside the Riverside Gate.

A small fishing boat was seen crossing the Blackwater River, and four gold cloaks escorted the frightened Aegon to the shore.

Seeing that the Green Party was so decisive, Jacaris waved his hand and ordered someone to send Christon on the transport carriage to the side of the ship to exchange prisoners.

Vermax and Silver Wing were circling in the sky, but the King's Landing side did not see Vhagar at all.

It was as if they were sure that nothing would go wrong in today's prisoner exchange.

But this is indeed the case, and the two sides exchanged Aegon and Criston very peacefully.

"Brother! Woohoo!"

As soon as Aegon returned to Jacaerys, he hugged his thighs and cried with tears streaming down his face.

Jacaerys said a few words of comfort and immediately asked the accompanying maester from Storm's End to examine him.

It wasn't long before the maester of Storm's End informed him that Prince Aegon showed no signs of poison.

But this answer made Jakaris's eyes more suspicious.

Because it was totally out of character for Aemond.

If you can't figure it out, just put it aside for now.

After having his personal guards take Aegon to the back of the army for protection, Jacaerys began to command preparations for the siege.

On the sixth day, the Conqueror's fleet and the Velaryon fleet, which had been replenished with soldiers from Tidepoint Island, appeared in Blackwater Bay.

Melias and Araxes also hovered above the fleet to escort them.

The fleet did not enter the narrow Blackwater River, but instead headed straight for the Iron Gate of King's Landing with a total force of 7,600 men.

Early in the morning of the seventh day, Daemon arrived at the Dragon Gate with 4,000 Vale cavalry and more than 3,400 coalition forces from the Frey and Blackwood families.

As of now, the total strength of Jakaris's side is about 23,000 people.

There were 4,000 infantrymen recruited from various castles in King's Landing, and 3,300 gold cloaks.

and seven hundred royal guards stationed at the Red Keep, for a total force of nearly eight thousand men.

At noon on the seventh day, Luciris, riding Araxes, hovered above Jacaris.

Knowing the time had come, he quickly climbed onto the back of the waiting Womax and held on tightly to the protruding dragon thorn.

Hooray, hooray!
Womax first flapped its wings and flew up, then used a pair of dragon claws to grab two large water tanks placed beside it before flying into the sky.

Ang~~
Womax, hovering in the sky, suddenly opened his dragon mouth and let out a huge dragon roar.

Then, the sun flame below and the silver wings in the sky, Araxes,
Even Melias, who was far away in the sky above Blackwater Bay, let out dragon roars of varying volumes.

The roars of five giant dragons resounded throughout the entire King's Landing, marking the beginning of the decisive battle between the Black Party and the Green Party in King's Landing!

Boom boom boom!
After the dragon roar ended, Yang Yan, who was at the front of the army, rushed towards Linhe Gate on the opposite bank in the posture of dragon wings sticking to the ground.

Hooray, hooray!
As they approached the Blackwater River, Yangyan leaped up and flapped his broken wings violently.

Bang!
Relying on the power of jumping and gliding, it landed heavily on the shore of Linhemen.

Ding Ding Ding!
The defenders of King's Landing on the wall of Linhe Gate began to shoot at Yangyan, but they could only leave a few white marks on its armor.

The specially made scorpion crossbow should be able to penetrate the armor and the dragon scales underneath, causing damage to Yangyan.

However, this device, which is specifically designed to prevent dragon air raids, is unable to shoot towards the bottom of the city wall.

After all, the designer of the scorpion crossbow could not have imagined that the enemy would have a giant steel dragon that could not fly.

Hey!
Yang Yan ignored the attack from the Linhemen defenders and turned around to spit dragon flames at the thick iron chain in the winch of the Blackwater River suspension bridge.

Its orange-red dragon flame was not enough to melt the steel, but it could only burn the capstan chain red hot.
A large stream of cold water mixed with ceramic fragments suddenly fell from the sky and directly poured onto the iron chain of the winch.

Looking up, I saw that Womax had already crushed the two large water tanks on his dragon claws.

Click, click, click!
The surface of these iron chains, which were not of very good quality, suddenly developed a large number of cracks and became very brittle.

Click!

Yang Yan suddenly opened his dragon mouth and bit, and the iron chain of the suspension bridge winch broke instantly.

Bang!
The suspension bridge outside the Riverside Gate fell heavily, and the King's Road that was blocked by the Blackwater River was reconnected.

Kill! ~~
Seeing this, the three thousand Baratheon soldiers who were ready to go shouted loudly and raised their shields and rushed towards the suspension bridge.

shhhhhh!
Puff, puff!
The archers on the Linhemen city wall launched covering fire at the drawbridge.

There were constant streams of Baratheon soldiers who were hit by arrows because of the narrow suspension bridge, or who were pushed off the suspension bridge by friendly forces and fell into the Blackwater River to feed the fish.

But as more and more Baratheon soldiers squeezed across the drawbridge, the space on the other side of the Blackwater River became empty.

shhhhhh!
The crossbow corps that entered the attack range began to show their power, and the dense rain of arrows immediately suppressed the defenders on the Linhe Gate so much that they dared not show their heads.

Bang bang bang!
Yang Yan, who burned the drawbridge capstan, immediately transformed himself into a battering ram, continuously hitting the gate of Linhemen.

It was just the beginning and Linhe Gate was in danger.

The steel gate near Blackwater Bay is not much better.

The large warships of the Conqueror's fleet were using catapults to hurl large numbers of burning asphalt barrels at the Iron Gate walls and the city.

The flames from these loaded bitumen barrels are like a sticky plaster, and once you get stuck, it's hard to get rid of.

On the Iron Gate wall, King's Landing defenders were seen carrying buckets of water back and forth to put out the fire.

Outside the city gate, the advance team serving as cannon fodder took this opportunity to place siege ladders against the city wall and began to climb up the city.

In the sky, Melias constantly used his flying speed to lure the defenders of King's Landing to use scorpion crossbows.

If these defenders were tempted to shoot,
With Melias's super fast flying speed, he could definitely burn them to ashes before the scorpion crossbow's second round of reloading was completed.

The best situation is naturally the Dragon Gate.

More than half of Daemon's army that hurried to King's Landing were cavalry, and they could only rely on the 3,400 infantry to attack the city.

And because of the time constraints, they didn't have time to make siege ladders.

They could only cut down one or two sturdy trees outside King's Landing and make simple siege battering rams.

So these 3,400 infantrymen could only hold their shields and battering rams to force their way into the gate of the Dragon Gate.

There is neither a crossbow army to suppress the fire nor a giant dragon to harass the enemy.

The defenders on the walls of Dragon Gate only need to use all their defense methods towards the gate area without any scruples.

After Jacaerys controlled Vermax to help Yangyan lower the drawbridge, he hovered high above King's Landing with Silver Wings.

If he wanted, he could attack any area of ​​King's Landing except the Red Keep at any time.

But the Green Party's dragon has not appeared yet, and the seemingly defenseless King's Landing seems to be full of weirdness.

In this case, Jakaris decided to keep fighting.

Because if the Green Party does not take further measures, the Linhe Gate and the Steel Gate will sooner or later be breached by Yangyan and Melias.

After a while, it turned out that the Green Party was the first to get restless.

Hooray, hooray!
Two giant dragons flew out of the dragon's lair one after another, heading towards the Linhe Gate and the Steel Gate respectively.

The giant dragon heading towards Linhemen was about twelve or thirteen meters long and had a light grayish white appearance.

This is Grayshadow, the youngest wild dragon on Dragonstone.

The giant dragon heading towards the steel gate was about fifty or sixty meters long, not much different from Womax.

Its body was somewhat shriveled, and covered with a layer of ugly brown dragon scales. It had none of the beauty of other giant dragons.

This is the wild dragon, the sheep thief, that Castor had been trying to tame.

Under the control of the dragon knight on its back, Gray Shadow bypassed the Linhe Gate and attacked Yangyan from behind by spewing gray-white dragon flames.

After being attacked, Yang Yan, who was wearing iron armor, immediately turned around and spewed orange-red dragon flames to fight back.

But the dragon knight on Gray Shadow's back was very smart and didn't fight Yangyan head-on.

Instead, he relied on Gray Shadow's advantage of flexible flying to constantly harass Yang Yan, preventing it from continuing to attack the city gate.

As for the sheep thief controlled by Castor, he just hovered over the steel gate with the help of the power of the scorpion crossbow.

Melias no longer dared to lure the other party into shooting as recklessly as she did before.

With the help of these two dragons, the Green Party seems to have stabilized the situation in King's Landing.

But this was the moment Jakaris had been waiting for.

Hooray, hooray!
Vermax and Silverwing descended from the sky and headed straight for the dragon's lair at the top of Rhaenys Hill, not far from the Dragon Gate.

Although Vhagar has not shown up, in the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy or trickery is meaningless.

Even without the Silver Wings, Jakaris could kill Vhagar alone with his second metamorphosis, Vermax.

Hoo ho ho!
When Wormax and Silver Wing were about to land in the Dragon's Lair.

The huge Vhagar appeared first and spewed a bright yellow high-temperature dragon flame into the sky.

Behind Vhagar, there was a giant dragon about the same size as Silver Wing, with a light blue body with silver lines. It was Dreamfyre.

Helena, who originally did not have the ability to control a dragon, sat expressionlessly on Menghuo's dragon saddle.

Ang~~
At the same time, Daeron rode Tessarion out of the Red Castle and flew towards the dragon's lair at an extremely fast speed.

At this moment, the Greens have Vhagar, Dreamfyre, Tesserion, Sheep Thief, and Grayshade.

The Black Party has Vermax, Melias, Silver Wing, Arax, and Kagero.
