Game of Thrones: Dragons have three heads, not three-headed dragons.

Chapter 37 Deciphering the Dragon Dream, Conquering Tyrosi

Oris lay asleep in bed, but his consciousness sank deeper and deeper into the ocean. Finally, when his consciousness stopped sinking, Oris witnessed an unbelievable scene in the darkness of his mind: a frost wolf was attacking a three-headed monster, when suddenly a skeletal giant appeared behind it, attacking the frost wolf's tail. A long-winged dragon flew in from the side, attempting to attack the skeletal giant, but the giant continuously harassed it, preventing it from landing to rest. Finally, under the attack of the three-headed monster, the long-winged dragon plummeted to the ground. The frost wolf, attacked by two monsters, fled in disarray to the side.

In his final moments, as Oris gazed at the fleeing Frostwolf, tears welled in his conscious eyes. These two tears instantly brought Oris back to his senses. Sitting on his bed in the tent, staring at his hands, an idea formed in his mind: this was the Dragon Dream, his second Dragon Dream.

If the previous dragon dream was caused by Oris casting the highest-level blood magic, this dragon dream is no longer a coincidence; he has become a dreamwalker. Oris thought about his identity; the bloodline panel only showed Valyrian blood, not specific family bloodlines, and within Oris's Valyrian bloodline, there must be Targaryen blood mixed in.

There are three main branches of Targaryen blood remaining in the Eastern Continent. The first and most famous is the Blackfyre line, of which the male line of Marius Blackfyre has died out, but no female line has been mentioned. The second is the line of Brightflame Aelion, whose son Maegor the Younger, after failing to inherit the Iron Throne, was said to have been taken to the Eastern Continent by Daenerys Targaryen. The third branch is quite ancient: Senella Targaryen worked in a brothel in Lys when she fled Oldtown, and later went to Volantis to run a brothel business, leaving behind countless illegitimate children.

Oris didn't know where his Targaryen blood came from; perhaps it was one of the three, or perhaps all of them. His immediate priority was indeed to decipher the dragon dream. First, the Frostwolf must refer to Oris himself, and the three-headed monster fighting Oris could only remind him of the three-headed god of Tyroth. The skeletal giant attacking from the rear was obviously a pirate, and the pirates who could arrive at Tyroth's vicinity the fastest were undoubtedly the pirates of the Stone Steps. The long-winged dragon in the sky was naturally Daenerys.

Therefore, Long Meng warned Oris that the pirates of the Stone Steps Islands would launch a surprise attack during the siege, thus disrupting Oris's plans, and that Daenerys would also die if this battle was not handled well.

Oris, realizing this, abandoned his plan to incite internal strife within the Tyrosian pirates. Time was no longer on their side, especially now that they knew the Tyrosian pirates would come to their aid. Oris immediately ordered a change in battle plan, ordering a night attack on the city.

After Oris gave the order, Alexandra and Ramsay began to assemble their men, while Oris summoned Daenerys and asked, "Daenerys, how much wildfire do you have left?" Daenerys replied, "About half." Oris was overjoyed with Daenerys's answer, then took a box of wildfire from her and instructed her to be on standby.

Once Auris saw that his soldiers were ready, he immediately ordered the prisoners to be driven forward to attack the city. The prisoners advanced alongside the siege equipment, driven by the soldiers, but the soldiers on the walls of Tyrosi did not react. Perhaps the Tyrosi High Lord had not expected Auris to lead his exhausted army in a nighttime assault. Seeing no response from the walls, Auris was overjoyed. He ordered his soldiers to speed up their advance, while he himself, carrying wildfire, rode Durotan and slowly followed the rear guard.

When the siege equipment was fifty paces away from the city wall, some soldiers reacted and began to shout, but it was too late. The ladders carried by Auris, pushed by the prisoners, were already close to the city wall. When the commotion on the city wall subsided, some of the prisoners in Auris's army had already climbed onto the city wall.

Visibility was poor in the darkness, and the soldiers on the city wall couldn't distinguish whether the prisoners were their own or not, so they started hacking and slashing indiscriminately. Meanwhile, Oris's soldiers took the opportunity to quickly scale the city wall. Alexia, wearing light scale armor, led the way and, together with Ramsay, managed to capture a section of the wall despite being surrounded by mercenaries. Oris immediately mounted Durotan and galloped away, taking advantage of the fact that the city wall defenders' attention was entirely focused on the enemy troops on the wall.

Oris swung the wildfire box with all his might and hurled it toward the city gate. The box shattered upon contact with the gate under his immense force, and the wildfire liquid inside instantly flooded the entire gate. Seeing this, Oris immediately took out his composite bow and arrows, ignited the oilcloth on the arrows with a flint and steel, and fired an arrow toward the gate of Tyrosi.

Although the gates of Tyrosi were made of thick steel, wildfire, being a semi-magical item, could ignite the steel armor when it burned, making it brittle. Oris returned to his base, dragging a pile of stones as he sprinted towards the gates, then hurled them at the gates with all his might. The gates, already weakened by the wildfire, were further weakened by Oris's hurling, which became the final straw that broke the camel's back.

In an instant, the city gate was engulfed in flames, and shouts of battle echoed from the city walls. When Oris saw that the city gate had been breached, he immediately ordered the reserve soldiers to carry sandbags and rush toward the city gate. Along the way, the soldiers used sand to extinguish the fire, and then braved the remaining high temperature to rush into the city.

Oris and Durotan entered the city separately, then launched a fierce attack on the mercenaries still on the city walls. Seeing that the situation was hopeless, most of the mercenaries fled into the city, intending to loot a large sum of money before escaping. Oris, lacking sufficient soldiers to control the mercenaries, shouted from the city walls, "Mercenaries who leave the city walls now will be spared!" In an instant, countless mercenaries, carrying their looted gold, silver, and women, rushed wildly out of Tyrosi.

Oris didn't care about this loss, after all, the real big fish was still inside the city. Oris quickly took control of the city's defenses in Tyrosh, and then dispersed them to various units. Now, Oris had fewer than five hundred veteran soldiers under his command, the rest being slaves and garrison troops of Myr. This greatly reduced the quality of Oris's soldiers, and he could only slowly clear out the city. Oris left Alexandria and Daenerys with two hundred men to guard the city walls, while he rode Durotan to begin clearing out the mercenaries who were still causing trouble in the city.

The sky gradually brightened, but the shouts of battle within the city did not diminish. Oris was still clearing out the mercenaries in the various alleys when suddenly a soldier reported that the Red Temple in the city had sent people to look for Oris.
