Ice and Fire: Reign of the Dragon.

Chapter 141 The End, or the Beginning

The huge body of Vormithal blocked out the sun. The dragon flew across the bay, growing larger and larger at a speed that was almost visible to the naked eye. On the Rat, Shufu watched in awe as Vormithal slowly passed over their heads. As time passed, Vormithal's size became larger and larger. Its current size had surpassed that of Vhagar and was almost the same as the former Black Death. As it gradually lowered its altitude, the strong winds raised by its wings raised angry waves on the sea. If the Rat had not been a large ship now, it would probably not have been able to withstand the waves raised by the dragon.

"Master, a dragon." A sailor with waves tattooed on his face knelt down in despair. Huo Geng and Ben looked palely at the dragon getting closer and closer, and their ship had reached its limit. It couldn't go any faster. The people on the ship could only watch the dragon getting closer and closer until it hovered over the ship.

Terek was a step slower, and only flew to the vicinity of Wormisol when Longzel was driving Wormisol over Hogen's ship. The young purple dragon was like a mouse next to a giant elephant in front of Bronze Fury. It might be a bit exaggerated, but the size difference was indeed so huge.

Womisoor let out a deafening roar at the sailing boat, and the sailors who were still standing on the boat fell to their knees. Only Huo Geng and Ben were still standing on the deck, watching Womisoor slowly lowering his altitude with trembling legs.

"Lord Dragonzel, what are you waiting for?" Joffrey shouted, "If you don't move, I'll let Tyrexu send them down. They dared to steal my brother's dragon. Don't they know how to spell the word death?" Joffrey wanted to control Tyrexu to throw a breath of fire and send the dragon thieves' ship into the sea, but Vermithor was beside them, and he knew that it was not his turn to take care of this matter.

At this moment, Korax's sharp roar also resounded over Blackwater Bay. Daemon rode Korax and slowly flew up from the other side of Dragonstone, flying towards this direction.

"Tell me, Huo Geng, and Ben." Longzel frowned. They were indeed all acquaintances. After the Varese family rose to power through the magical means of his father Cleolius, the Dragon King families who were originally high-ranking members of the Tiger Party in the Black Wall began to try to make friends with the Varese family. They did not care at all about the past when he had previously rebuked the Varese family, who had become landlords and only licked the "cowardly" Elephant Party. However, those self-proclaimed noble "Dragon Kings" were kept at a distance by his father.

As for the two dragon thieves, Longzel knew them. Hogan Belleris was the heir of the Belleris family. His family had twelve seats in the Senate, and even Hogan had a seat as a senator. He was an important member of the Tiger Party. When Longzel sold his land, the Belleris family supported Doran Megya, who had taken a lot of the land and mines of the Vareses family. As for Ben Unebar, to be honest, Longzel didn't know why he got involved in such things. In Longzel's impression, Ben Unebar was one of the few calm people in the Tiger Party. He had no interest in rebuilding the Valyrian Free Fortress, which the Tiger Party had always advocated. The Unebar family was also one of the few low-key dragon king families.

After all, even in the Freehold period, the Unebar family was not one of the top families among the forty dragon kings. In the Blackwall, the Unebar family relied more on the fact that their family had been operating in Volantis early and was more deeply rooted, rather than on the family's past glory.

"Ben, how did you get involved with Huo Geng?" Longzel patted Womisol, motioning it to lower its head, and sat upright on the dragon saddle, asking with some confusion.

"Prince Dragonzel" Ben Unebar looked at the vague Dragonzel on the dragon's back and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He said loudly: "Dragon, just because of the dragon!"

Huo Geng took over Ben's words. He pointed at Longzel flying high in the sky and said indignantly, "Yes, we are for the dragons. Longzel, I admit that we are jealous. Why are you, the Vareses family, so lucky to actually have dragons again? Why didn't you stay in Volantis after you got the dragons, but ran to this barbaric place? Longzel, let me ask you, what's so good about Westeros? You have dragons, we have money, and we also have dragon blood in our bodies. Why can't we cooperate and recreate the former scene of forty dragon king families, thousands of dragon riders flying high in the sky, and ruling the whole world?"

Hogan pointed at Joffrey and Daemon who had just arrived. He pointed around and then shouted, "Why did the Targaryens survive? Why did they have dragons? We could have relied on the Targaryens' dragons and Volantis' 100,000 Tiger Cloaks to sweep across the continent more than a hundred years ago. Why did you betray us? Not only did you not help us, but you also destroyed our army. You bastards of the Targaryens, do you know how desperate the descendants of the Dragon King were when Aegon's dragon flame destroyed our Tiger Cloaks? Do you know how much we long to ride dragons to the sky like our ancestors? A Dragon King family without dragons is nothing but a Dragon King family?"

With red eyes, Huo Geng pushed away Ben Unebar who tried to stop him. His voice was hoarse, but the desperate silver-haired young man still tried to let the three "high and mighty" dragon kings on the dragon's back hear his shouts.

"Longzier, remember, we are here because of you, because your brothers rode dragons, and it was you brothers who gave us hope. Oh, our families that have lost dragons for hundreds of years can still have dragons? The glory of our ancestors can be restored in us? Longzier, and you, Targaryen bastards, there are more than just our dragon king families in the Black Wall. Longzier, we are just the first group of people who came here. Keep an eye on your dragon eggs and your ownerless wild dragons. We have intermarried and committed incest between brothers and sisters for hundreds of years, isn’t it just so that we can restore the glory of Valyria one day?"

"Are you threatening us?" Tyrexu roared. Joffrey looked at the crazy Hogan Belleris in astonishment. The boy felt absurd. Was this man mentally ill? Who gave him the courage to threaten the three dragon kings?

"Yes, I am threatening you." Hogen's eyes were red, staring at Longzel who was silent. "To be honest, I understand why you don't stay in Volantis. I also understand that although Volantis is big, it cannot withstand the siege of other free trade cities that fear dragons and covet dragons. Ben's ancestor died miserably in his own mansion. A slave, a slave who didn't even dare to look up at the Dragon King, killed him. That bastard not only killed Ben's ancestor, but also killed his young son and his son's newly hatched dragon. Even if you have a three-headed dragon, you can't afford the siege and assassination that may come at any time, as well as the revenge of the Targaryen family. I understand you, but I'm still jealous of you. I'm jealous to the point of going crazy." Hogen didn't give Ben Unebar a chance to speak, as if this calm man would destroy the atmosphere he had painstakingly created if he spoke. "Come on, Longzel, kill us, but you must remember that the descendants of the Dragon King family will never give up the hope of reviving the family. Dragons are everything to us." Seeing that even the most impulsive Joffrey among the three dragon riders did not move, looking at him with his arms opened, waiting for the dragon flames to burn him, Huo Geng was stunned for a moment, and then opened his arms again. "Come on, dying in dragon flames is also the honor of the descendants of the Dragon King family, come on."

Long Zeer looked at this guy helplessly. "Since you understand why I came here, why are you still obsessed with stealing dragons?" Long Zeer knew the answer, but he still asked with a smile: "If you ride a dragon, you will also encounter the same things you said. And it will be more secretive and deadly. Huo Geng, you know better than me how much water these so-called Dragon King families in the black wall contain and how much inheritance they have."

"All we want is the dragon." Hogan said without hesitation: "As long as we can ride on the dragon, even if we die the next moment, we are willing. As long as our people can ride on the dragon again, sooner or later, the Dragon King family will make the former Valyria Free Fortress reappear in the world. By that time, no matter whether it is the descendants of the pariahs of Braavos, the barbarians of Dothraki, the barbarians of Westeros, or even the rich empire of Yidi, they will crawl at our feet. All the people will be slaves, and I will ride a dragon and stand in the sky as king." Hogan enthusiastically chanted the poems of ancient Valyria in High Valyrian: "This is what we want. Come, Longzel, burn us to death with dragon flames. Our blood begins with flames and will end with flames."

"Shut up, Hogan." Ben Unebar finally found a chance to interrupt Hogan's crazy talk. "Look carefully, is he going to burn us to death with dragon flames?"

Huo Geng was just about to say something when he heard a loud "bang". The boat under his feet began to shake violently. Huo Geng lost his balance and fell directly onto the deck.

The Maus crashed directly into Hogan's ship. Droko jumped up with an arakh in his hand, jumped onto the ship, and cut off a slave's neck with one blow. The Dothraki barbarian was holding a bloody scimitar, followed by Shufu who was fully armed and holding a war hammer, Dennis who was also armored and holding a blade, and the silver robes of other city guards. Even Adam and Alyn each held a sailor's scimitar and followed after putting on some random clothes.

But when Joffrey saw Alyn and Adam, and the short woman with her hair tied up at the helm of the Maus, the boy suddenly froze, as if he had thought of something.

Before Hogan could get up, a Dothraki barbarian grabbed his hair and stabbed him. Droko held up Hogan's silver-haired head, which was still open in death, and showed it to his dragon, Khal Zorzer, as if to show off.

Longzel smiled and nodded. Zhuoko actually jumped up like a child, showing a circle of Huo Geng's head to everyone. Longzel looked at Zhuoko's actions, smiled and waved his hand, grabbed something in the void and threw it. Zhuoko understood what the big Kao meant, and threw Huo Geng's head into the sea.

Until this time, Ben Unebar did not call out the soldiers below the deck, but stood calmly surrounded by the crowd.

"Ben, I can see there are still people below the deck. Do you want to surrender?" Longzel still had some good feelings towards this calm guy, and his tone of voice softened.

"No, Your Highness, although I do not agree with Huo Geng's behavior, I followed him." Ben looked at Wormisol and Longzel on its back, and said slowly: "Ho Geng is right, Longzel, your success has given hope to the remaining Dragon King family. You have proved that we can also have giant dragons. This is an indisputable fact."

Ben glanced around at the three dragons.

"Are you ready to welcome those with dragon blood who dream of restoring the glory of their ancestors and ascending to heaven in one step?"

First update check-in. There were some issues with the update in the afternoon, so I redid it a little late. I will update normally in the evening.
