Ice and Fire: Reign of the Dragon.

Chapter 79: Battle of Prince's Pass (45, please order first)
After a long and tormenting war, the war situation in Dorne finally saw the light of day. The exhausted people chose to speak with their feet, and countless Dornish refugees flocked to the relatively safe Stone Road and Red Border.

But many more hid themselves, as they had done before the conquerors, in secret oases in the great desert, on small islands on the Greenblood River, and in caves in the hills.

As a result, several major families simultaneously discovered in an embarrassing way that it was difficult for them to recruit soldiers, and several years of war had caused the entire Dorne to face a catastrophic famine.

During these years, the City of God's Grace changed hands six times and was finally destroyed in a fire that engulfed the entire castle. The two sides, in a blood-thirsty frenzy, launched a massacre in the castle at the same time. The Arion family was almost wiped out in these repeated struggles, and the cavalry of the Yronwood family even rushed to Plank Town to burn, kill and loot.

But the Martell family, who obtained the gold of unknown origin, quickly regrouped. Prince Corran hired a pirate fleet from the Stepstones to raid the port of Yronwood and almost burned down this historic port. The revenge of "King" Lewyn followed. He also hired a pirate fleet, carrying the new Earl Jordain and his army to raid Soul Hill. Soul Hill, which had almost become an empty city, naturally could not withstand the attack of the Yronwood family, and the dying Lady Toland was forced to raise the flag of surrender.

King Albin of House Dayne took advantage of the chaos to seize Hellgate Castle and confront House Yronwood and House Martell in the Sulphur River Basin.

It was not until "King" Lewen discovered that the excellent iron armor worn by Count Doran Goergenles' elite cavalry came from the same place as the armor worn by his own guards.

"King" Leven finally realized what their short-sightedness and stupidity had brought, but by then they had already lost the hearts of the people.

He sent out cavalry to summon the heir to the Tomb of the King, but the cavalry never returned. The cautious "King" Lewen sent out 200 spearmen again, but they also never returned.

Levin finally realized that the Red March no longer belonged to him, or even to Dorne in the traditional sense.

So he tried to make peace with Prince Keolun, but Prince Keolun replied that he personally led his army to capture Soul Hill and hanged Yronwood who stayed behind.

Lewen had no choice but to send out his troops to try to recapture the Red March, but the end result was that his 4000 infantry were defeated by 2000 cavalry led by Lynn Valtaken and Aslan Longdel, and he himself was almost captured.

Soon after the battle, the Tullys sent 2000 infantry and 500 cavalry to join the 3000 infantry and 300 cavalry of the Cavolens, Dondarrions, and Selmys, and also 1000 infantry and 100 cavalry of the Cullens, under the banner of defending the Prince's Pass.

The core of this force is the 3000 Silver Blood Army led by Aslan Longdel, including 900 cavalry.

The army slowly rolled towards the Prince's Pass. Along with the army were eight giant dragons.

Young Araxes, Vermax, the Shadow Nightmare who had grown so fast that he could carry people to the sky, Vermithor, and Great Aegon's Sunfyre and Aemond's Vhagar. And Princess Rhaenyra and Prince Daemon who represented the king, and of course, the most important thing was their dragons.

Silver Wing stayed behind in Dragon's Nest, which made Valar quite unhappy, but at the same time he was proud of his heavy responsibility.

In the ruins of Tianji City, eight dragons rested in the mountains. The oldest and largest Vhagar hung his slack chin and slowly exhaled. The majestic and gorgeous Yangyan was whistling around Syrax, and then was roared by the bloodworm Korakxiu who stayed aside and flew backwards. Wormax lay next to Wormithor who was staring into the distance, and it was unknown what he was doing. Arax and Shadow Nightmare were playing in the air. The skinny black dragon has now grown up. It has a pair of hard horns that bend forward. The huge membrane wings and the skinny body are quite terrifying. Even Vhagar couldn't help roaring a few times when he saw it.

Prince Keoren Martell pursed his lips and looked up at the eight beasts from time to time. "Yronwood is finished." The prince sighed and turned to look at Princess Rhaenyra. "Your Highness, I know very well that Dorne cannot bear another loss like this."

"So can you agree to our conditions?" Princess Rainier asked. Her tone was more of an order than a question.

Doran Gargenles was guarding the prince, and his eyes were almost demented as he looked at the eight dragons.

"I didn't expect the Iron Throne to offer such generous conditions. I have no reason to refuse." Prince Kooren sighed.

The conditions offered by the Iron Throne are indeed generous. Dorne will be divided into three parts. Prince's Pass, Red March, Stone Road and North Yronwood will be included in the territory of the March. The Martell family will retain the title of "Prince of Sunspear" and can retain the territory from the Brimstone River in the west to the sea in the east, but they need to hand over the right to mint coins and port management.

The Dane family also received almost the same conditions. The territories of Starfall City and Hidden High City would be completely retained. In addition, the other half of the Sulphur River Basin and the desert where Sandstone City was located would also belong to the Dane family. Albin Dane could retain the title of "Guardian of the Turbulent River", but he would need to hand over all powers.

Albin Dayne tried to resist, but was eventually suppressed by Obaya Dayne's army and had no choice but to accept the condition.

"The army of Family Yronwood is coming, my lord." Araxes landed with a sprint. Without even taking a breath, Luciris immediately reported the situation.

"Very good." Longzel put on his helmet. "It's our turn."

Rhaenyra was the first to mount Syrax's dragon saddle. Aemond patted Vhagar's back excitedly, but Vhagar kept looking at Vermithor. Several young men also rode on their respective dragons, waiting for orders at any time.

The most excited one was Great Aegon. He almost took off if the bloodworm hadn't roared at him.

The oldest and slowest Vhagar took off first, followed by Vermithor. The two giant dragons would be responsible for the main attack, followed closely by Korax, Syrax and Yangyan, while the three young dragons would take off last, and they would be responsible for chasing and killing the fleeing enemies at high altitudes.

Although the dragonfly's scales have hardened, no one is willing to take the risk.

The army of House Yronwood slowly emerged from the mouth of the valley.

When "King" Leven saw the eight-headed dragon slowly rising into the air, only one sentence remained in his mind.

"Seven levels of hell."
