Ice and Fire: Reign of the Dragon.

Chapter 97 Longzel's Decision
Vhagar flew into the air. Aemond looked around and saw Aegon the Great outside the circle of fire. Aegon the Great was also decisive. He untied the straps of the dragon saddle when he saw that he could not save Yangyan. Yangyan jumped down when the dragon was about to fall to the ground. Yangyan was really good. He survived the situation when the Red Queen bit his neck tightly. At the moment when the Red Queen was bitten by Vhagar, Yangyan took advantage of the situation to adjust the position of Melias's dragon head and tried to make a buffer for Aegon the Great so that Aegon the Great could land more safely. Aegon the Great rolled and crawled to avoid the crushing of the dragon, and rolled a few times to put out the fire on his body. Even under the protection of the armor, Aegon the Great still covered his knees and howled a few times, and the exposed skin was also covered with blood and mud.

"Aemond, you have to compensate me, Yangyan!" Great Aegon was so angry that he thrashed on the ground for a few times. Before he could finish his words, Christon Cole rushed over and grabbed him onto his warhorse: "Your Majesty, we have to retreat quickly. If the Black Party's dragon comes, we will be finished."

"How can you run!" Great Aegon roared angrily, "My Yangyan is gone!"

"But your majesty is still here, that's enough." Laris chased after him. "Sir Criston, the king wants to go with us." The intelligence chief rushed over with the Kingsguard and more than 20 armored cavalrymen: "Your large force is too conspicuous." After saying that, Laris nodded to Sir Marsson Waters beside him, and the white knight turned over and dismounted, giving his horse to Great Aegon. He helped the seriously injured king onto the horse and tied the straps.

"Laris, where do you want to take me?"

"Your Majesty, let's follow the previous plan." Laris said, "Prince Aemond and Sir Christon have already started the war. Our chance will come when the Black Party's eyes are on them. Let's go now."

Great Aegon looked at the Dragon's Fall with hatred, and followed Laris's cavalry to evacuate deep into the dense forest. Christon also led the main cavalry loyal to him to flee in another direction. Vhagar flapped his wings above the clouds without hesitation and soon disappeared above the clouds.

Earl Simon Staunton finally ordered his men to repair the collapsed city walls before he dared to lead a dozen cavalrymen to check the situation at the place where the dragon fell.

The flames had gradually died out, leaving only two huge bodies in the vast open space. The Red Queen's dragon head had been separated from her body, and the Red Dragon still had a huge wound torn by Vhagar. Even at this time, the Red Queen was still biting Yangyan's neck tightly, and the Golden Dragon's neck was torn with a huge wound deep enough to see the bone. This was why Earl Staunton saw that the Golden Dragon's head was almost bitten off, half of its wings were torn, and the Red Queen had torn several huge wounds on its chest and abdomen. Even so, the Golden Dragon's body was still trembling slightly, and Earl Staunton could clearly see Yangyan's wide-open dragon mouth still exhaling hot air.

At this moment, a thunderous roar came from the north.

"Seven layers of hell, run!" Earl Staunton immediately turned his horse's head and ran back to the castle, but his sworn knight grabbed the earl's reins and said, "My lord, it's a golden dragon."

"Seven Gods bless you, it's Wormithor." Earl Staunton turned his horse's head again and jumped off the horse with a look of relief on his face. "Prince Longzel is finally back."

"Lord Simon, what happened when Xiaojie and I were heading north? Why hasn't the queen summoned the dragon riders to surround and kill Vhagar?" Wormisol fell from the sky and landed steadily next to the Dragon Falls. As soon as Longzel finished asking the question, he saw two giant dragons entangled together.

"Grandma!" Before Womax could stop, Jacaris jumped off the dragon's back, but was stopped by Womisoel's tail. Womisoel stretched out his dragon neck, pushed aside the corpse of the Red Queen, and bit Yangyan's head with one bite. With one hard bite, he completely bit off the golden dragon's head.

After doing all this, Wormisol let Jakaris go. Longzel watched Jakaris rummaging around the dragon's corpse with red eyes, but he only took out a brooch with a three-headed dragon and a seahorse entangled in it.

Longzel sat on the dragon saddle and motioned for Wormithor to lower his head so that he could get closer to Simon Staunton. "Tell me, Lord Simon, what has Her Majesty been doing these past few weeks? Why didn't she write to us to summon us to go south as soon as possible? Why did a dragon war happen here? Why did she let Princess Rhaenys fall into the trap alone?"

"Your Highness, the Queen has gone to Shipbreaker Bay. She is going to recover the body of Prince Luthris. She is also going to contact your brother to arrange a marriage between Prince Rey and Princess Rhaena. We were attacked by Vhagar and Sunfyre, and Princess Rhaenas died heroically trying to rescue us. But she also shot down the Usurper's dragon and the Usurper."

"Does she know that this has already been a war since the moment Xiaolu was killed?" Longzel frowned and rubbed the gauntlet of the dragon saddle. "The letters we received were from Harrenhal and Storm's End, not Dragonstone? Just because I stand by her side doesn't mean I am responsible for all her actions."

"Your Highness, this is His Majesty's will." Earl Simon did not dare to offend Longzel, nor did he dare to speak behind the Cricket Queen's back. "Your Majesty has not returned to Dragonstone yet. The one in power now is the Queen's Hand, Lord Corliss."

"Very good, very good." Longzel smiled bitterly and shook his head: "What about the usurper? Have you found the usurper's body?"

"Your Highness, it is estimated that the Usurper has died with the flames like our heroic Princess Rhaenys," Lord Simon replied cautiously, "It is hard to believe that the Usurper would survive the fall from that distance."

"Just because you didn't see the body doesn't mean he's dead." A dragon roar like a snake came, and the snake-like Korakshu emerged from the clouds and landed next to Womisoor. Prince Daemon shook his head at Longzel and said, "They didn't find Vhagar. They ran too fast."

"Got it." Longzel sighed and said, "Little Jie, cousin Daemon, let's go to Dragonstone." Jacaerys rubbed his face hard to make his expression less distorted, then he carefully put his grandmother's brooch into his arms and jumped onto the dragon's back.

"Earl Simon, take good care of the Red Queen's body." Prince Daemon instructed. After Earl Simon's assurance, Korakshu followed the two dragons and flew to Dragonstone.

"I personally sent my wife to her death." The sea snake slumped in his seat, his expression unrecognizable, but it was obvious that the pain and regret in the old man's dull eyes could be seen. Longzel walked over and sat down opposite Collis. "Is the queen not back yet?"

Ser Robert Chase nodded, Jacaerys patted Joffrey's head, and sat down in Rhaenyra's seat. "Ladies and gentlemen, I should be able to speak for my mother."

"You are the heir to the Iron Throne, so you are naturally qualified." Earl Bartimos said respectfully. He always advocated immediately summoning dragon riders to besiege the Green Party's dragons, but Daemon and Rhaenyra did not support him at the beginning, because they did not know what Longzel meant.

"The war has already begun." Longzel said, "The moment Xiaolu died at the hands of Emond, the war began. Are you still waiting for us to gather allies? The Green Party didn't give us this time. It's only been a few weeks. We have lost two dragons and an adult dragon. Do you really think that my Wormisol can deter the Green Party and make them give up the crown?"

"Longzier, don't be angry. No matter what, we will win." Daemon sighed. If it was twenty years earlier, he would be so angry, not to mention Longzier who was delayed in getting the information and was out of the main line in the Vale and the North for several weeks. The lack of information was indeed a big problem. Longzier flew to Harrenhal and found that Daemon was not there. He flew to Pink Castle and met Daemon again. The three dragons flew back to Dragonstone together. They passed by Crow's Roost on the way and noticed the dragon battle. As a result, let alone Vhagar, Christon didn't know where he ran to. There were only a few hundred king's soldiers who dropped their weapons and knelt down to surrender in the dense forest.

"Whether the usurper is dead or not, the fact that he and Vhagar are here only means one thing." Longzel stood up and inserted the Silver Blood into the position of King's Landing on the map table, which made Daemon and Gladys' eyes twitch.

"The Greens have given up King's Landing. They want to open up multiple battlefields to eliminate our advantages. Cousin Daemon, we will go hunt Vhagar. Xiaojie will stay in Dragon's Nest and defend the eastern continent with Rey. Valar will be in charge of the battlefield in the south. Since he wants to fight, we will let them know how wrong they are."

"I agree with Prince Longzel's opinion." Jacaris naturally agreed unconditionally with his knight's decision. Count Bartimos was the second to agree. He was an avid supporter of the dragon war, and then the sea snake came to his senses. "Prince, please avenge my lady."

At this moment, two dragon roars were heard outside the window.

Queen Rhaenyra, who had been disconnected for a long time, finally returned. The queen came down from the dragon's back with a tired face. She was greeted by Sir Stephen Darklyn, the captain of her Queen's Guard. Valar followed behind the queen with a constipated expression on his face. He had just seen Wormithor taking a nap in the dragon mountain. Naturally, he knew what had happened.

"Your Majesty, Prince Longzel and Prince Jacaerys have returned." Sir Stephen Darklyn whispered. Queen Rhaenyra's eyes lit up: "This is good news. We can gather together immediately to let my traitor brother know how powerful I am."

"The false king and the kinslayer raided Raven's Rest. Princess Rhaenys died heroically to save Raven's Rest, along with her dragon Melias."

"What did you say?" Rhaenyra realized what had happened and stopped in her tracks. It was only then that Rhaenyra realized that the problem was hers. If she hadn't burned the Stormtroopers flying the Green Party flag, it might have been Silverwing and Melias who had just gone to Crow's Rest. Was it a mother's impulse and blindness that destroyed her own sanity?

"This..." Rainier took a deep breath and almost jogged towards the map hall. After a while, she was panting and holding onto the wall.

I could only move to the map room little by little holding on to the handrail.

Seeing his mother appear, Jacaris stood up and said, "Mother, Your Majesty."

Seeing her eldest son taking the chief seat in the meeting instead of her, Rhaenyra was not angry. Instead, she nodded with satisfaction and slowly walked to Corliss' side: "Lord Corliss, it's my fault. I'm sorry. Let Princess Rhaenys..."

"Your Majesty, it has already happened." Longzel nodded to Valar: "There is no point in apologizing. We should act immediately. This is already a war. Only blood and fire can defend your crown." Longzel reiterated his decision.

Rhaenyra nodded without hesitation. "Prince Longzel, your wisdom is the kingdom's greatest asset. I agree with you."

"Your Majesty, we can occupy King's Landing first." Earl Bartimos still couldn't forget his plan to capture King's Landing with a group of dragons descending from the sky. "The Iron Throne is the symbol of the kingdom. As long as you sit on it, you will undoubtedly be the legitimate king. Moreover, with Syrax and Tyrexu here, the usurper without Vhagar will never be able to threaten King's Landing."

"Okay, let's do it." Rainier had never been so decisive as she was now.
