Game of Thrones: Dance of the Dragons

"What does Lord Sea Serpent wish to say?"

Baylor's extensive reading experience told him that when this old fox opened his mouth, it was definitely not for anything good.

"The Kingdom of the Three Daughters will definitely make a comeback, which will seriously affect the Valerian trade routes. At that time, Dorne will also send troops to support the sea and harass the borders."

"While they are still recovering, we should seize the opportunity to completely destroy the Kingdom of the Three Daughters and all of Dorne's sailing ships, and put the Stepstone Islands completely in the hands of the royal family," Corliss advised, unusually kindly.

But in the eyes of the prince, these were the views of a vassal lord of the sea serpent.

Of course, Baylor was not a coward. He rode the Gluttonous King of the Wild Dragons, and his warlike nature was no less than that of his uncle Daemon, but he was not that fool.

Baylor was the kind of person who, once he decided to go to war, the other side was destined to have only two outcomes.

First, the entire family dies, severing all bloodlines.

Second, they must submit completely to the descendants of the Targaryen family, with all resources going to the royal family, and obey only the orders of the Targaryen family.

"I never deny that you have excellent strategic vision, but if you really want to start a war, you should go to my father to propose it, instead of using the word 'rash'."

"Does Lord Sea Serpent think I am a foolish, impulsive Damon?"

Don't think that Baylor doesn't know that the last war in the Steppes was started by the Sea Serpent and Damon on their own initiative.

It wasn't until Dorne invaded the border that he reluctantly told the royal family that this was a grave crime of treason under the law, and that if it weren't for his father's mercy, the serpent and Damon would have been beheaded long ago.

"Corliss, Baylor is only six years old and has only been back in the royal family for less than two months. You shouldn't be asking him these questions."

"Furthermore, starting a war is tantamount to treason. Do you intend to drag the entire Valerian Empire into a desperate situation?"

Renis didn't want to interrupt.

But as a princess of the royal family, she would never allow her husband to drag the Valerian and Targaryen families into ruin because of his own selfishness or personal desires.

"I discussed this with the prince as equals. Moreover, I was only addressing the matter at hand, and everything was for the sake of the royal family's rule, not for my own selfish interests," the sea serpent said logically and persuasively.

He was afraid others wouldn't know that once the Kingdom of the Third Daughter and Dorne returned from their revenge, the Valerian family would inevitably be the first to suffer.

"Then you should report your opinion to the King, instead of asking here, a six-year-old prince, my own nephew!"

The Targaryen family values ​​bloodlines and family ties, and Rhaenys was deeply influenced by this from a young age, even after marrying into the Valerian family!

"Alright, alright, I'll do as you say. I'll write a letter to the king after the banquet."

Corliss is clear about family and blood ties, and he ranks first in his wife Rhaenys's heart, and he will not cross her bottom line too much.

Secondly, he was very pleased with Prince Beller's visit, because although he said he did not support the fight, his tone was exceptionally confident.

This shows that, given the opportunity, the prince would still choose to wage war to consolidate the royal family's rule.

After the conversation ended, the sea snake began to fully enjoy its name day, enjoying delicious food and chatting about the future with its family.

The banquet at night was even more lively and extravagant.

Lord Sea Serpent was born at night. In the tradition of the Valerian family, the sea at night is the most dangerous, but also the easiest to reap the most unexpected rewards.

This tradition also laid an indelible foundation for Corliss's nine voyages after he came of age.

Beller didn't stay long. After a simple barbecue, he asked the guards arranged by the sea snake to take a walk on the beach.

He had lived in the old town since childhood and was naturally too withdrawn. Compared to lively banquets, Baylor preferred to look at the ocean while leaning against something and reading a book.

Upon arriving at the beach, Beller signaled to his guards to wait nearby and not to disturb him alone.

The waves crashed against the beach again and again. The sea breeze was cooler than in King's Landing, and it carried a biting dampness that made the prince very uncomfortable.

"Indeed, they're like oil and water," Baylor couldn't help but remark.

Then, I turned my gaze to the dragon's lair on the right.

At this moment, the glutton is very emotionally unstable, like a lion that has discovered an intruder while patrolling its territory and is ready to fight the enemy.

"Lord Sea Serpent, I hope my plans for tonight will surprise you greatly," Baylor snorted.

The knights, accompanied by their guards, proceeded at a leisurely pace toward the dragon's lair.

……

Chaotou Island, outside the Dragon's Lair.

Vaghar and the Glutton were too large to live in the dragon's lair, so they had to live on the beach outside.

Dragons are products of magic and symbols of fire; they greatly dislike the nighttime tides.

In addition, the anger in his eyes had not subsided due to Vaghar's provocation during the day, and he was extremely irritable.

As luck would have it, the much larger old dragon was sleeping right in front of it.

Although dragons possess intelligence comparable to that of humans, their size and personality make them less composed when faced with problems, and they tend to seek revenge whenever they have a grudge.

"Roar—"

The glutton took the initiative, its wings supporting its massive, black steel-like body, and flew to the highest point to seize the commanding heights.

Provoked in this way, the Vaghar tiger's eyes instantly ignited with anger. It immediately raised its huge and old body and quickly flew into the sky.

As the king of wild dragons who has lived in the wild for many years, the Glutton knows very well that speed and cunning are its unique advantages, and there is no need for it to go head-to-head with this old guy.

The moment it saw Vaghar charging towards it, the Glutton immediately changed direction, using its speed advantage to rush beneath Vaghar and spewing dragonfire at its body.

"Roar!"

Vaghar was completely enraged, and his furious dragon roar echoed throughout the entire Tidehead Island.

The glutton wouldn't give it a chance to catch up; it immediately rose into the sky, hiding in the clouds, ready to launch a sneak attack.

As a seasoned dragon with extensive combat experience, Vaghar could easily see through the Glutton's intentions. He immediately unleashed orange dragonfire to block the Glutton's sneak attack route.

……

The roars of the two giant dragons naturally attracted the attention of the other dragons.

First to appear was a giant dragon with a completely crimson body, known as the Red Queen—Melias.

Secondly, there are Syracuse and Sea Smoke, who are sleeping in the dragon's lair.

These two dragons were more docile; although they were awakened by the dragon's roar, they did not make any rash moves.

After it awoke, it realized that its size was far inferior to that of the remaining three-headed dragons, so it only let out a symbolic roar and continued to lie in the dragon's lair.

Melias's arrival has made the glutton's situation extremely dangerous.

Against a Vaghar, it could barely manage to wear down the opponent, but with the arrival of the fast Melias, the Glutton's advantage was completely wiped out.

Now, it not only has to consider how to dodge, but also how to protect itself from any harm.

Just then, a faint shout and a familiar sense of blood connection caught its attention.

The glutton lowered its head and saw Baylor waving and calling to it.

"Glutton, leave Tidehead Island immediately! Shake off Vaghar first, then deal with Melias!"
