Skyreach, built on the Red Mountains, is different from traditional castles; only the gate area has relatively flat terrain, while the rest is cliffs and precipices.
The buildings inside the city are built along the mountain, layered and well-arranged.
It is very similar to the famous mountain city of Chongqing in my previous life, although the scale of the city cannot be that magnificent.
Boom boom boom!
Sunfyre, covered in thick steel armor, was currently a demolition team, rampaging through the inner city area of Skyreach.
Crash!
Houses built with the construction technology of this era were as fragile as if made of plastic before it.
Houses with load-bearing columns or walls constantly being destroyed collapsed with a huge roar.
This was completely a scene from a tokusatsu show from a certain island country in my previous life; Sunfyre was the giant evil monster, only missing a righteous Ultraman.
But where are there so many heroes in the real world!
Ah!!!
A group of Feller Family soldiers hiding in the houses were forced out by Sunfyre and then turned into charred human figures amidst fearful screams.
Whoosh!
As Sunfyre stood still and breathed Dracarys, a cold arrow suddenly shot out from a room on the left.
The attacker's archery skill was very high; this arrow went straight towards Sunfyre's left eye.
Clink!
Having gone through many battles, Sunfyre had become extremely cautious.
The moment it sensed the cold arrow, it immediately closed its vertical eyelids covered in golden scales, and this ordinary cold arrow was instantly bounced away.
Whoosh!
The attacked Sunfyre immediately turned its head, which was continuously breathing Dracarys, to the left, and the orange-red Dracarys instantly ignited the entire area of buildings from directly in front to the left.
But the attacker quickly left the area after shooting that arrow.
In fact, this was not the first time it had been attacked by a cold arrow; it had been constantly harassed by archers since leaving the gate area and pursuing the fleeing Feller Family soldiers.
Sunfyre, possessing relatively high intelligence, saw that it could not kill the insect that kept offending it, and immediately chased quickly towards the front left, while retaliatorily breathing Dracarys and incinerating everything in its path.
Sunfyre was now in a state of rage due to the attacker's provocation; let alone the fact that it had now broken into Skyreach alone.
Even if Stone, who had been temporarily given command by Womax, were present, he probably wouldn't be able to control it.
Whoosh!
As Sunfyre chased to a road fork, the cold arrow seemed to be guiding it, striking again from the left.
Roar~~
The enraged Sunfyre let out a muffled roar and charged without hesitation towards the narrow passage located between the two mountain peaks on the left.
Woo!!!
As Sunfyre's ten-meter-long golden dragon body just squeezed into the narrow passage, a long horn sound echoed within Skyreach.
Crash!
The buildings built on the mountain peaks on both sides of the narrow passage instantly collapsed.
Countless house fragments crashed down, precisely blocking Sunfyre in the narrow passage.
Outside Skyreach, Stone, who was orderly commanding his army to attack the city, heard the horn sound and immediately frowned.
He had initially thought the enemy was preparing to use some reserved trump card, but then found that there were no abnormalities on the walls and gates of Skyreach.
Damn, could it be...
Stone, thinking with a frown, felt a jolt in his heart and immediately looked towards the layered buildings inside Skyreach.
Although he didn't think anything in Dorne could harm Sunfyre, who was wearing full body armor,
But to be safe, he decided not to hold back anymore and gave the order for a full army assault to the messenger.
As tens of thousands of fresh troops from Jacaerys's side entered the battle, the spear and shield combination at the gate of Skyreach could barely hold on by utilizing the terrain advantage.
However, the defense line on the city wall, composed of Feller Family soldiers, was constantly being torn open, and it was on the verge of a complete collapse.
In the sky, Lucerys, riding on Arrax's back, immediately spotted the trapped Sunfyre after hearing the sound.
He immediately showed a struggling expression, unsure whether he should ride his dragon to the rescue.
Because before setting off, Jacaerys had ordered him not to act on his own except for conveying the attack signal and bringing back the final result.
Whoosh!
As Lucerys was hesitating, the blocked Sunfyre was continuously breathing orange-red Dracarys towards the house fragments directly in front.
But unfortunately!
Its orange-red Dracarys could neither reach the extremely high temperature like Womax that could melt steel and penetrate large Stones, nor did it possess the super strong impact force like Seasmoke.
Apart from the wooden parts of the house fragments being burned, the surfaces of the other Stone parts were only slightly scorched red.
Flap, flap!
Sunfyre fiercely flapped its broken wings, attempting to jump and glide for a short distance.
But the height of the house fragments combined with the weight of the thick armor only allowed it to flutter slightly in place.
Clang, clang!
Rustle!
Iron chains, each with a hook at the end and about the thickness of an adult's arm, were thrown down from the mountain peaks on both the left and right sides.
At the same time, groups of Martell and House Hightower soldiers slid down along the iron chains.
Whoosh!
Ah!!!
Sunfyre's orange-red Dracarys couldn't burn through the house fragments, but burning their flesh and blood bodies was simple enough.
One after another, human torches screamed and fell from mid-air, becoming quietly burning charred corpses.
But these soldiers were like they had been injected with chicken blood, fearlessly sliding down like the Unsullied.
Sunfyre's breathed Dracarys could only cover one side of the mountain; neglecting the other, lucky surviving soldiers kept landing around its dragon body.
Click, click, click!
The soldiers who landed picked up the iron chains and fixed the hooks at the front end into the gaps in Sunfyre's thick armor.
Sunfyre, sensing the abnormality, immediately turned its head and burned the insects around it clean with orange-red Dracarys, but the iron chains would not be melted by its Dracarys.
This set of thick armor, custom-made by the blacksmiths in King's Landing, was indeed of excellent quality.
But precisely because of this, Sunfyre could not break free from the chains or the armor by swinging its body.
As the number of iron chains increased, its range of motion became smaller and smaller.
Finally, dense iron chains formed a steel spider web in the narrow passage.
And Sunfyre was the big bug unable to move on this spider web.
Tap tap tap!
Accompanied by a series of footsteps, Prince Corren and Ser Hobart, who had disappeared from the tower earlier, appeared on the mountain peak with a group of personal guards.
"Excellent, to capture a dragon alive so easily.
Prince Corren, you are too amazing, everything was within your expectations!"
Ser Hobart looked down at Sunfyre, who could only open its mouth and breathe orange-red Dracarys straight ahead, and complimented Prince Corren with an excited face.
Prince Corren was not as happy as Ser Hobart, only hearing him reply in a low voice: "This was not simple, because many brave warriors sacrificed themselves for this."
"Yes, yes, you are right!
However, their sacrifices were worth it, and we will also help take care of their families."
Ser Hobart's expression stiffened upon hearing this, he nodded in agreement and then looked around behind him, saying,
"Hiss, the horn has been blowing for so long, why haven't they come yet?
The army of over ten thousand meant to deceive the Feller Family should have already retreated, and the six hundred warriors blocking the gate won't be able to hold on for too long.
We don't have much time left!"
Clang clang!
Just as Ser Hobart finished speaking, a figure with a white beard reaching his chest chain links, walking tremblingly, appeared not far away.
Seeing the other party's extremely slow walking speed, Ser Hobart wished he could immediately have a few personal guards carry him over.
But he did not dare to offend, because this elderly man was one of the only scholars left in the Seven Kingdoms, Dr. Wilson.
As Dr. Wilson approached, everyone could see that the chain links on his chest included both black iron and bronze, and the most eye-catching was a set of Valyrian Steel chain links.
Not only that, the ring on his hand, his staff, and the mask on his face were all made of Valyrian Steel.
Chain links made of Valyrian Steel represented Dr. Wilson's very high attainment in magic and mysticism.
In the Citadel, perhaps only one out of a hundred scholars might possess Valyrian Steel chain links.
And the ring, staff, and mask were symbols of a scholar's identity, representing that they could be called 'Masters' in their field of knowledge.
"Dr. Wilson!"
Prince Corren and Ser Hobart immediately saluted respectfully.
Dr. Wilson, wearing the Valyrian Steel mask, nodded at them and walked straight to the edge of the mountain peak, his eyes fixed on Sunfyre below.
He sighed in a hoarse voice: "This dragon is truly beautiful!
And it is very young and full of vitality, truly an excellent experimental subject."
Hearing Dr. Wilson's sigh, Ser Hobart eagerly said: "Dr. Wilson, please start quickly!
Skyreach could be breached at any time, and there is another dragon constantly circling in the sky."
Dr. Wilson glanced sideways at Ser Hobart, reached out and took off the Valyrian Steel mask on his face.
This old scholar had a very ordinary appearance; after taking off that outfit, he probably wouldn't be much different from an old man in a village.
He bit his index finger, and while chanting in high valyrian, he drew a certain rune on the mask with his continuously bleeding index finger.
After finishing writing, he casually threw the Valyrian Steel mask downwards.
But this Valyrian Steel mask, covered in blood-colored runes, was suddenly attracted by something unknown,
Drawing a strange 'L' shaped trajectory, it landed near Sunfyre's eye.
Subsequently, Dr. Wilson successively wrote blood-colored runes on the Valyrian Steel staff, chain links, and even the ring, and then threw them down.
As Dr. Wilson's chanting grew louder, the Valyrian Steel, which was difficult to melt even in ordinary furnaces, actually turned into a liquid with blood patterns on its surface.
Then this blood-patterned liquid drilled into the gaps of the armor near Sunfyre's eye like a living creature.
Sunfyre seemed to sense some kind of danger, and it immediately closed its golden scaled eyelids, which were enough to withstand arrows.
But this blood-patterned liquid actually directly penetrated its golden scaled eyelids and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Finally, Dr. Wilson's chanting ended at the highest volume, but Sunfyre below showed no reaction.
Ser Hobart leaned over and looked down, immediately frowning and questioning: "Dr. Wilson, I heard you just said something about an experimental subject.
You wouldn't really treat this opportunity that we created with great difficulty as an insignificant experiment, would you?"
Dr. Wilson ignored him, only focusing on observing Sunfyre's every move.
Prince Corren, who had been silent all along, also couldn't help but ask: "Dr. Wilson, you previously only told us that you guaranteed to create a creature stronger than a dragon.
Can you now explain in detail what exactly we are doing?
If your experiment has truly failed, then we must quickly kill this dragon to weaken that evil dragon's combat power!"
"Jaehaerys I's Hand of the King, Archmaester Barth was known as 'the wisest Hand of the King'.
He read through all of the Targaryen family history in the Red Keep library and combined it with decades of actual observation of dragons.
Finally, he wrote a book titled 'Dragons, Wyrms, and Wyverns: Their Unnatural History'.
Most scholars at the Citadel dismissed this book, but I found quite a few interesting points in it.
For example, Archmaester Barth, based on various experiments by Valyrian blood mages, speculated that dragons were actually creatures they modified from wyverns.
Another example is that before forging the Dragon Horn, the Dragon Kings of Valyria had also thought of many ways to control or modify dragons.
Valyrian Steel was born during this process; it has a very close connection with dragons, so it is also called dragon steel."
Dr. Wilson's words confused Prince Corren, who frowned and asked: "What you are saying seems to have nothing to do with what we are doing today."
But Dr. Wilson acted as if he hadn't heard, continuing to speak as if telling a story,
"My entire life has been dedicated to studying magic and mysticism, but I found that all magic is actually inseparable from dragons, blood, and faith.
Therefore, I longed to have a living dragon for experiments.
I had reached certain agreements with three different Earls of Hightower, but none of them succeeded.
And after that evil dragon burned Tyrosh, I obtained some new clues and traveled tirelessly to Essos.
It was this long journey that allowed me to escape the catastrophe of the three dragons burning the Citadel.
Do you know what the two giant statues at the entrance of our Citadel are?"
"What?"
Dr. Wilson's sudden question at the end completely caught Prince Corren off guard.
And Ser Hobart, who was from Oldtown, immediately interjected: "They are two giant Spinx statues.
Lion body, eagle wings, snake tail, human face, one male and one female."
"Heh heh, these are all images drawn by those ancestors who fled from Essos to Westeros, based on memory and descriptions.
In fact, the Spinx is also called the Valyrian Lion-Bodied Human-Faced Beast.
This time I saw its statue with my own eyes; it indeed has a human face, but its body is not that of a lion, but a dragon!
Therefore, the Spinx is actually a dragon variant created by the blood mages of Valyria through secret arts.
And this time, I also happened to obtain a lot of valuable information from the many temples, mystics, well, or rather, extraordinary individuals in Essos!"
Creak, creak!
Bang bang bang!
While Dr. Wilson and the other two were talking, Sunfyre's thick armor made a grating sound, as if something terrifying was brewing inside.
Immediately after, the thick armor continuously broke open towards the surroundings, and scales that were constantly changing color appeared in everyone's sight.
The changes happening to Sunfyre were not just this.
Its body seemed to inflate like a balloon, expanding by nearly more than double.
Its body length was at least forty to fifty meters, and its wingspan reached eighty to ninety meters.
Its originally handsome dragon head was now covered by a Valyrian Steel mask.
Moreover, the surface of the Valyrian Steel mask was not blank, but a giant human face.
Looking a little closer, one could roughly discern the appearance of Dr. Wilson.
Flap, flap!
Sunfyre's broken wings also seemed to have recovered at some point, and it flapped its wings directly to the same height as Dr. Wilson and the other two on the mountain peak.
Prince Corren and Ser Hobart were so scared by this never-before-seen behemoth that they took a few steps back,
While Dr. Wilson, with a fanatical expression, stretched out his hands in a gesture of embrace and laughed heartily: "Hahaha, I succeeded!
A constantly changing appearance, seemingly real and unreal, a legendary creature shrouded in mystery, the Spinx!"
Lucerys in the sky also seemed to have noticed the abnormality below, and rode Arrax, circling above Sunfyre, no, the Spinx's head.
Seeing this, Dr. Wilson pointed at Arrax and ordered the Spinx: "Go! Let me see your power that surpasses dragons!"
Flap, flap!
The Spinx flapped its magnificent dragon wings, and instantly floated towards Arrax in the sky like a wisp of green smoke.
At the same time, Jacaerys, who was riding Womax and flying at high speed in the sky, had a thought and opened his entry panel.
He saw that the number of dragon servants column changed from 3/3 to 2/3!
Knowing that something had happened, Jacaerys immediately sent a thought to Womax to fly forward at the fastest speed.
