Ice and Fire: Reign of the Dragon.

Chapter 235: The Enemy Uses a Dragon to Burn Our Formation

Xilulu

The stout Dothraki horse fell down with a wail, its leg cut by the arakh with a terrifying huge wound, and the rushing blood turned the grass where the horse fell into a red tide in the blink of an eye. And its master fell powerlessly in a pool of blood, with no head left.

The horse's owner's head was held high by a bloody Dothraki. The bearded Dothraki shouted and cut off the owner's thick and long braid.

But the next moment his head also flew into the air, and a Dothraki warrior who shouted "Winged Horse" grabbed his head and shouted devoutly again.

There were red tides everywhere, giant dragons flying in the sky, Dothraki horsemen fighting on the ground, mounted warriors killing each other, arrows flying everywhere, blood and heads flying everywhere. The victorious Dothraki warriors shouted wildly on their horses, but were immediately beheaded by another Dothraki who came out of nowhere.

Everything is a mess.

"Aerion, what should we do?" Rhaegar was a little unsure. His Horned Dragon was the smallest of the dragons and the only one that could be threatened by the dragon-hunting crossbow. Horned Dragon could not provide adequate protection for the knights like its kind. Although the Dothraki did not wear armor, their horse archery was unparalleled in the world. Rhaegar was also worried that if he flew too low, the Dothraki would shoot him down with an arrow.
Roaring, Vermax flew over the surging red tide of cavalry, and a breath of scorching dragon flame poured down on them, burning several cavalrymen who were preparing to charge side by side against a group of Dothraki warriors who had just killed a group of Dothraki and were raising their braids to seek credit from the giant dragon in the sky.

The dark green behemoth spread out pieces of flames in the air, each time accurately hitting those who did not succumb to the winged horses, which made the Dothraki horse herd more and more chaotic.

Before they knew it, little Kao and Kou, who commanded the 15,000 men, had disappeared.

Ilion passed by the horn tide and said, "Our mission is to prevent these cavalry from interfering with the main battlefield." He tightly grasped the gauntlet of the dragon saddle and said, "Burn the disobedient ones and stay to fight for us. Don't let them flee. That's enough."

"I understand." Although Rehgar was still a little confused, he still followed his cousin. The two giant dragons flew around the battlefield again and again, one in front and one behind.

Aerion couldn't help but secretly praise Daeron in his heart: "Your Majesty has really learned a lot during the years living in Dragon's Nest." He subconsciously thought that Daeron placed two giant dragons on the Dothraki battlefield in order to take advantage of the Dothraki's beliefs.

In Dothraki culture, anything that can be ridden can be called a "horse", but only real war horses can be worshipped by the Dothraki.

The dragon is an exception. In the ancient legends of the Dothraki, the horse that rides the world will rule the entire universe, and the winged horse is one of the important images of the horse god.

Aerion's respect for King Daeron's military instincts grew.

And on Loyna Avenue.

Five thousand cavalry warriors advanced quickly. Led by Lord Hugh Arryn and Lord Benjicol Blackwood, the Iron Throne army was divided into two groups and occupied the high ground on both sides of the road.

From afar, the wind and sand are rolling.

The huge square formations advanced slowly. All the 10,000 soldiers of the Golden Hammer Corps under Robert's direct command were wearing armor. To show their status, these mercenaries even plated their armor with gold. Each square formation was led by heavily armored warriors holding super-long spears, followed by heavily armored swordsmen and spearmen in a tight formation. These warriors in gold-plated heavy armor were equipped with heavy shields. Behind the square formations were equally neatly arranged archers and crossbowmen, as well as a large number of lightly armored infantry.

This is the configuration of the three phalanxes in the front, and they are also the most elite soldiers in Robert's hands. The phalanxes behind are much inferior. There are no heavy infantry holding super-long spears, and there are not even many warriors in armor. However, there are many people holding spears among them. If it is in the usual war in the disputed land, each phalanx can dominate an area for a long time, and even raise a big warlord.

An equally large number of cavalrymen wearing gold-plated armor protected the flanks of the phalanx. Behind them were the war elephants slowly advancing in the gaps between the phalanxes, as well as the installed dragon-hunting crossbows and scorpion crossbows.

"Where is the dragon?" Robert suddenly felt as if his heart was grasped by something. Inexplicable panic occupied his mind. He always felt that he had overlooked something?
The three-man council against the Iron Throne was not a monolithic entity, but it was indeed based on strength. Robert had the most elite army, Horus had the largest army and the largest territory, and Sharis had the most wealth and the strongest background—he had the support of the two major city-states of Volantis and Braavos. This was very strange and incredible, but it happened to Sharis. The weapons used by his army to attack the dragon were all provided by Sharis.

"No, no." Robert slammed his head and stood up from the magnificent throne on the back of the war elephant: "Where is the dragon? Pass the order, aim all the dragon-hunting crossbows and scorpion crossbows at the sky, archers, crossbowmen get ready, and the front row of the phalanx prepares the chevaux de frise!"

Robert realized something was wrong.

The dragon is not here.

On the vast battlefield of Loyna Avenue, on this battlefield with only a few small hills, there was no dragon to be seen?

This is so wrong.

The phalanx of the Golden Hammer Corps reacted the fastest. The heavily armored warriors holding super-long spears lowered their big guns in unison, with the butts of the spears inserted into the slightly soft ground. The spears of the heavily armored spearmen poked out from the gaps between them, and the crossbowmen in the phalanx also began to adjust the crossbows in their hands.

The other phalanxes also stopped, and the cavalry quickly gathered to provide cover on the flanks of the phalanx.

"roar~"

Just when the square formation came to a complete stop, a violent dragon roar was heard from the sky.

Sendroth emerged from the clouds. This dark green dragon was not afraid of the loaded dragon-hunting crossbow and dived down first.

"Defend against the spears, destroy the dragon-hunting crossbows and scorpion crossbows first." Dan shouted the command: "Then attack the elephants."

Centroros roared and flapped its wings violently, and Dan could only lie tightly on the dragon saddle.

A huge spear with a barb came through the air from below, but it only left a faint white mark on the leaf-like scales of Sendroth. The dragon swung its wings with butterfly patterns violently, and dozens of spears aimed at it fell like snowflakes.

"Protect your chest and abdomen!"

Sendroth dodged a spear by leaning sideways. The crossbowman's ordinary arrows could not hurt it at all, and the heavy spears also had difficulty dealing with Sendroth's hard scales.

"Dragon Flame!" Dan saw the opportunity and shouted.

The pale green dragon flame fell from the sky like an endless waterfall, passing through the gaps in the square formation. Almost in the blink of an eye, the crossbow that had just been firing spears into the sky turned into a pool of ashes in the flames.

"Dragon, there is another dragon!" A black mercenary operating the crossbow on the other side shouted in horror.

What answered him was the blazing flame of Dream Fire.
