Sheepstealer saw that her roar of intimidation had no effect whatsoever; that damned yellow Dragon even dared to crawl into her cave.
She immediately became furious, and without a word, she spewed out her scorching orange Dragonflame, like heavy clouds.
Rhaenyra, who was already prepared, also had Syrax spew her orange-red Dragonflame. The orange and orange-red Dragonflames immediately collided in the narrow cave.
The explosive, scorching Dragonflame instantly caused the temperature in the cave to soar. The rocks at the point of collision were immediately scorched black.
Seeing this, Xiao Bellerion and the other two Dragons immediately used their size advantage to secretly surround Sheepstealer.
Then, they simultaneously spewed Dragonflame at Sheepstealer: one black and red with fish scale patterns, one orange-yellow with green textures, and one bright white shimmering with a pale blue luster.
Although Syrax was only two-thirds the size of Sheepstealer, and Xiao Bellerion and the others were only half the size of Sheepstealer, four against one still made Sheepstealer instantly timid.
Sheepstealer, who had always been cautious, immediately fled quickly through the open-air section at the top of the cave. Unfortunately, she was directly intercepted by Dreamfire, who was circling outside.
Dreamfire accelerated and swooped down, directly tearing through Sheepstealer's two Dragon Wingss with her sharp claws, making the ugly Dragon's flight somewhat unsteady.
At this moment, Dreamfire, who had made a sudden return, directly attacked Sheepstealer from below, giving her several fierce claw strikes from the abdomen, causing her abdomen to bleed profusely.
Syrax and Xiao Bellerion, who had arrived, also took the opportunity to launch a siege against Sheepstealer.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Sheepstealer was knocked down from the sky. Severely wounded, Sheepstealer tried to take off several times but failed.
Finally, Sheepstealer, who was almost severely injured and unconscious, lost the ability to resist and was captured by Dreamfire and taken to a Dragonpit in Dragon Mountain to be locked up.
This was not because Daenerys was heartless; it was simply because she had put a lot of effort into Dragonstone New Island. If Sheepstealer, a hidden danger, kept launching sneak attacks and destroying her breeding base, who could stand it?!
She only had herself to blame for not following the rules and being blind!
If it weren't for the fact that she had attacked Glutton with her last time, Daenerys would have definitely given her a bigger lesson.
Miraxis's ultimate form, front claws automatically ignored.
After dealing with Sheepstealer, Rhaenyra, who had participated in her first Dragon battle, was incredibly excited and impatiently returned to Dragonstone to show off her achievements to her parents.
The Dragon Guards of Dragon Mountain were also very excited to have another Dragon to care for.
Because in their long-standing values, being able to serve a Dragon was the greatest value in their lives.
Moreover, their families could only engage in Dragon Guard and related work for generations, and they were not even allowed to learn the common language of Westeros.
Therefore, most Dragon Guard families lived relatively poor lives.
So their excitement certainly had some realistic considerations. With an additional Dragon, the number of personnel in the Dragonpit would definitely increase, allowing their descendants to seek employment there.
How clear-headed Daenerys was! She immediately spoke to the Dragon Guards,
"Dragon Mountain now has an additional Dragon to care for, and the manpower is definitely insufficient. You should recruit more people from your families."
"Let's temporarily set it at 20 slots, and you can decide the specific candidates together! Their salaries will be paid by me separately, and there's no need to trouble yourselves by applying to the Dragon Guard Commander in King's Landing. Have them collect their salaries from Annie every month!"
"Yes, yes! Thank you, Princess, thank you, Princess!"
Although these Dragon Guards had been loyal to House Targaryen since the Old Valyrian period, there were also different family factions among them.
The group of Dragon Guards who accompanied the royal family to the King's Landing Dragonpit were the power-holders among the Dragon Guards, deciding the selection of new Dragon Guards and the allocation of their work.
Dangerous and low-paying jobs would naturally be assigned to the weaker families. And opportunities to appear before royal family members and accompany them in training Dragons were naturally monopolized by the powerful families and factions.
This world is like this; wherever there are people, there are bound to be disputes, factions, competition, and unfairness!
In fact, over these past three years, Daenerys had secretly rewarded the Dragon Guards of Dragonstone with many benefits.
Others might overlook the immense role of these Dragon Guards, but Daenerys, with her semi-omniscient perspective, knew that even those seemingly insignificant minor characters could play a huge role at critical moments.
The tragic fate of the Tankrian Family's Dragons in later generations was directly related to the near-total massacre of the Dragon Guards during the King's Landing riot.
Without the protection of the Dragon Guards, it was naturally convenient for the Archmaesters to act against the surviving Dragons of House Targaryen.
Therefore, Daenerys wanted to use this opportunity to gather as many Dragon Guard subordinates under her command as possible, believing that they would certainly be useful in the future.
Adult form.
After dealing with the Dragon Guard matter, Daenerys once again rode Dreamfire back to Sheepstealer's cave.
Because Daenerys had noticed that the cunning Miraxis had not come out since entering Sheepstealer's cave.
That Dragon, who wouldn't rise early without profit, certainly wouldn't stay there obediently unless he had discovered something!
The top of Sheepstealer's cave was exposed, so the light was quite sufficient. Daniella had Dreamfire guard the entrance while she slowly walked deeper into the cave.
When Daniella walked to the pile of pitch-black rubble where Sheepstealer usually rested, she found Miraxis indeed lying there, sound asleep!
And beneath her belly, there were two exquisite Dragon Eggs.
"Miraxis!"
In this situation, how could Daenerys not know what had happened?
The wasteful Miraxis had actually devoured Sheepstealer's Dragon Eggs.
It should be known that Dragons lay at least five Dragon Eggs per clutch. Now, only two remained here, which meant Miraxis had secretly eaten at least three.
Hearing Daniella's angry roar, Miraxis immediately shot into the air.
As a Dragon whose heart was connected to Daenerys's, she had already sensed her arrival when Daenerys approached the cave.
However, perhaps because she had swallowed the Dragon Eggs, she was incredibly sleepy now! So it wasn't until she sensed Daenerys's anger that she flew up to avoid trouble.
Daenerys quickly bent down to examine the two surviving Dragon Eggs. One of the Dragon Eggs was emerald green with silver swirling patterns; the other was pure white, covered with star-shaped textures.
"Oh, this, this is truly damned!"
"To think that Sheepstealer attacked the sheepfold because she was weak after laying Dragon Eggs."
However, since the matter had already occurred, overthinking it was useless. Daenerys already felt that obtaining these two Dragon Eggs was an unexpected joy.
After all, she had discovered them privately, so she naturally wouldn't hand them over. So she quickly hugged the Dragon Eggs and rode Dreamfire towards her Dragonpit.
Miraxis, meanwhile, followed Dreamfire nervously.
