Vhagar stared at the surrounding corpses.
But Aemond suddenly thought of something and ultimately did not let Vhagar devour the mountains of corpses piled up around.
"Down there, Vhagar," Aemond tugged the reins.
Vhagar roared softly, leaped down from the hill, and flew low towards the Tyroshi camp below the Lango Highlands.
"It seems the Dragon King is much more arrogant than I imagined. If we go to Dragonstone,"
Two hours ago.
Elville had commanded six charges in a row with little effect, so he set up the main camp three miles away from the highlands.
The slave soldiers under him were unreliable; he planned to personally lead the Tyroshi garrison in a night attack.
That idiot Akeman didn't know how much longer he could hold on.
He had to speed up; he absolutely could not let Aegon steal the group of slaves on the highlands.
Having just eaten a full meal and donned their armor, the Tyroshi garrison had just sent out scouts to gather intelligence when they were frozen in place by a roar.
Not long after recovering, they saw the hundred-meter-long Dragon gliding towards them under the moonlight.
"Hiss roar!"
Vhagar's roar completely shattered the last bit of morale of the Tyroshi army.
"Demon Dragon, run!"
Someone screamed in terror, triggering a chain reaction.
Whether it was the garrison or the slave soldiers, they all frantically searched for a hiding place.
But the surrounding trees and bushes had long been cleared when setting up camp, and there was nowhere to hide.
Rumble—
Vhagar braked with her chest, raising a cloud of dust.
"Hiss screech!"
She casually picked up a soldier with her mouth, threw him into the air, and sprayed weak Dragonflame.
This was a feast, of course, only for Vhagar.
Above the Lango Highlands, the Rebel Army, who had taken advantage of the situation and charged halfway up, abruptly stopped.
"Wait, wait!" Spartacus shouted.
The scene before him sent a chill down his spine; he couldn't help but look at Hidolf: "We won't become that Dragon's food, will we?"
Hidolf also looked unsure and said softly:
"This Dragon is named Vhagar, and her rider is Aemond Targaryen, the brother of Egon Targaryen, a reckless and impulsive young man."
"Then us?"
"Wait. Since he has come, it means Egon Targaryen's fleet is not far away, or perhaps has already landed."
Hidolf's judgment of the situation was very sharp. Even as he spoke, the Lannister Fleet was advancing at full speed.
The Dragon's speed was much faster than the fleet's. Even at full speed, the Lannister Fleet could not see Vhagar's tail.

Dragonstone.
Aegon was planning the land on Dragonstone. The usable land on the entire Dragonstone was divided into four sections by him.
Among them, the land in the North District and East District was more fertile and mainly used for farming.
The West District and South District were the trade area and production area, respectively.
If nothing unexpected happened, Loren would bring back a large population in a few days.
Distributing these people along with the tenant farmers to the North District and East District would allow the tenant farmers to teach ordinary slaves who had no special skills how to farm.
At the same time, Aegon also needed to select some strong-willed tenant farmers to become village chiefs to help him manage the commoners.
When the population increased, Grey Gallows Isle also needed to be developed.
However, Aegon would not need to personally develop Grey Gallows Isle. At that time, he could grant the land on Grey Gallows Isle as fiefs.
Commoners and ordinary soldiers who had made great contributions could be granted as direct knights.
Knights who came to pledge allegiance and made contributions could also be rewarded with land, and could even be promoted to barons, joining the ranks of true nobility.
With their own land, these newly promoted nobles would naturally actively reclaim land, and Aegon only needed to collect taxes on time.
As for the transit taxes collected from the three major sea lanes of the Stepstones...
During this time, the first sea lane of the Stepstones gradually stabilized.
Aegon finally understood why House Frey of the Twins was mocked by many nobles as parvenus.
It wasn't because House Frey had shallow foundations; it was clearly because they were envious of the exorbitant bridge tolls House Frey collected.
The Twins, also known as the Crossing, is the fortress of House Frey at the river crossing, located in the Riverlands.
It includes two castles on opposite banks of the Green Fork and a stone arch bridge connecting them.
The arch bridge is wide enough for two four-wheeled wagons to pass side by side and is guarded by a tower in the middle of the bridge called the Water Tower.
To get from the North to the western Riverlands, this is the only river crossing within hundreds of miles up and down the Green Fork, located precisely on the road from Winterfell to Riverrun.
The Twins has been the ancestral castle of House Frey for 600 years. The Freys spent three generations building this fortress.
They became wealthy by collecting high bridge tolls because the Twins was the only way to cross the river within several days' journey.
House Frey is wealthy and populous, one of the most powerful vassals of House Tully, capable of raising an army of 4,000 men.
House Frey could become one of the most powerful families in the Riverlands simply by relying on bridge tolls.
And the merchant ships passing through the Stepstones every day are far more numerous than the merchant caravans crossing the bridge at the Twins!
Aegon originally planned to take one-tenth of the transit tax as a dividend to reward the vassals on Grey Gallows Isle.
But the transit tax was simply too much.
Aegon then prepared to reduce one-tenth of the transit tax to one-hundredth.
And using this as a reason, he would equally divide the responsibility of patrolling the three major sea lanes of the Stepstones among his noble subordinates.
After planning the four major areas, Aegon singled out the South District.
The South District is the smallest of the four areas, but it is also the area with the strongest wealth-generating capacity in the future.
Salt pans, soap factories, breweries, steel mills, lumber mills, stone quarries, and many other factories will be built in the South District in the future.
Furthermore, Aegon plans to directly invest in and control these, building the South District into a future imperial industrial park. Not only can it support a large number of workers, but it can also bring profits into the royal treasury!
"Your Highness, please come and see, a wild Dragon has been circling nearby for a long time."
Just as Aegon was planning the South District, a guard ran in, looking flustered.
