Chapter 59 - Chapter 59: All in Competition

The number of breeding warhorses in White Sheep Town has now exceeded two hundred, and the number of adult warhorses has already surpassed two thousand. The pastures alone for raising these warhorses cover hundreds of thousands of acres.

After three years of selection and optimization by Daenerys, their quality has greatly improved.

Whenever a giant dragon sweeps across the sky, these warhorses will instinctively gallop.

On the lush grasslands, the scene of a thousand horses galloping is quite spectacular and exhilarating.

When his uncle Daemon was guarding Dragonstone, every time he returned from a patrol, his eyes seemed to be fixed on Daenerys.

Especially the foals born in the past two years have undergone tremendous changes in both size and physical fitness.

This is, of course, related to Daenerys feeding them supplemented fodder.

Recently, Daenerys has also tried mixing magical soil into their fodder, which has made these warhorses even more wild and untamable; it is no longer so easy for ordinary people to tame them.

Only the twelve Flayed Knights, who had been cultivating a bond with these warhorses since they were very young, each managed to tame three warhorses.

And the twenty Dragon Guard knights recently recruited by Daenerys had to exert a great deal of effort to tame their own warhorses.

Even so, the warhorses they tamed were from the earlier batch of births.

As the saying goes, a good horse deserves a good saddle, and an excellent warhorse naturally provides a great boost to a knight.

The Dragon Guard were already very satisfied with their warhorses.

So when Dax and his companions easily tamed the wildest warhorses in the pasture, they easily earned the respect of the Dragon Guard.

Perhaps the friendship between men is just that simple and pure!

The Dragon Guard, who had initially looked down on the boys from Skagos Island, immediately became close with them after they tamed those warhorses, as if they were close brothers who had known each other for many years.

Especially Dax, who, relying on his extraordinary martial prowess, defeated the challenging Dragon Guard one by one, has now clearly become their leader!

And with Dax as a strong comparison, the Dragon Guard, who had originally thought themselves quite formidable, began to train even harder.

In fact, besides Dax, every one of these boys from Skagos Island possesses outstanding strength.

The little giant, Baer, with his immense brute strength, is unmatched.

For this, Daenerys even ordered the blacksmith to custom-make a 120-jin heavy long-handled iron hammer and a set of heavy multi-layered plate armor for him.

Baer's magnificent posture wielding the iron hammer was such that even Dax no longer sparred with Xiongda, because at this point, Baer was completely a human tank.

Wolf and Wolford, the brothers, were average in swordsmanship, but they were swift in action and worked together seamlessly.

So Daenerys specifically ordered a batch of fine steel scimitars modeled after Mongolian sabers.

This immediately allowed their combat prowess to be fully utilized.

In close combat, if the brothers fought together, even Dax would find it difficult to win as easily as before.

Iger is most proud of his archery, which is no worse than the Watcher, a Child of the Forest with a long lifespan.

Moreover, Iger considers himself exceptionally intelligent and often boasts, "Anyone I've ever seen, I will never forget!"

Iger is also the only Skagos boy who brought his warging giant eagle to Dragonstone.

No wonder Dax always "coincidentally" met Daenerys so easily!

Kai is shy and usually doesn't talk much.

However, once he makes a move, his actions are swift, ruthless, and merciless.

His weapon is an obsidian dagger.

To fully unleash his talent, Daenerys, referencing Wolverine's claws, had the blacksmith specially forge two steel claw gloves for him.

This made Kai overjoyed; his combat techniques were originally all derived from his warging Shadow Mountain Cat.

These steel claw gloves undoubtedly allowed his combat power to be fully utilized!

With suitable weapons and equipment, the Skagos boys' combat prowess was naturally more fully displayed.

So they all threw themselves into even more enthusiastic training.

Without this group of Skagos Island boys as the imaginary enemies for the group of noble boys from the Seven Kingdoms, the seemingly monolithic Westeros army of noble boys immediately began to squabble amongst themselves.

Especially Mond Hightower of The Reach and the Lannister brothers of the Westerlands, to demonstrate their family's strength, Dragon Kiss Garden virtually became their daily grand showground.

"Jason, no matter how formidable the Lions of the Westerlands are, can they compare to the giant dragons of House Targaryen?!"

"What's more, those few lions your Lannister Family raises, I estimate they can't even beat Princess Daenerys's mastiffs!"

"Why do you need to constantly boast about it?"

"Ah! To be able to soar on the back of a giant dragon, that's what a true man is!"

"Even if I, Mond Hightower, die in this life, it will be worth it, after all, in the future records of my family, I will be the first family heir to have ridden on the back of a giant dragon!"

"Today, I'm happy, I'm buying everyone's drinks!"

Mond Hightower, in his excitement, immediately shouted to the madam.

"Yes, Young Master Hightower! This is truly worthy of someone who has ridden on the back of a giant dragon.

His magnanimity is indeed different!"

The madam, who had been making a lot of money recently, was already smiling so much her mouth couldn't close.

But in terms of competing with wealth, how could the Lannister Family ever admit defeat?

"Madam, set up five wine towers around me! I think it's not bright enough here."

The wine tower is a special feature of Dragon Kiss Garden, similar to the champagne tower of later generations, except that at the top of the tower there is a huge crystal cup filled with high-proof dragonflame wine, which is then ignited.

Under the illumination of the flames, the entire wine tower is dazzling and very beautiful.

Moreover, the lighting effect is excellent.

However, the price is not cheap; one wine tower costs 1000 gold dragons.

"Mond, Mederick from White Harbor flew a few more circles than you, didn't he? And he's not as smug as you are!"

"What's more, he's someone who climbed onto the dragon's back and climbed down safely.

"Unlike some people! I heard he was thrown off by Dreamfire like trash! Hahaha!"

"Big Brother, what you're saying isn't right!"

At this moment, Tylan Lannister added another jab, "Some fishermen say that someone was thrown off the dragon's back, then caught by Dreamfire, and rinsed a few times in the sea."

"Being all wet like that, maybe some people peed their pants and angered Dreamfire!"

"Don't tell me this giant dragon is quite smart? It even knows how to get rid of the smell!"

Tylan's words immediately caused a burst of laughter from everyone present!

Mond Hightower, having his truth so subtly exposed, immediately blushed with shame.

But the Lannister Family had several times more guards than him, so he couldn't act out on the spot.

He could only heavily smash his wine glass on the ground, then flick his sleeve and leave.

"Oh my, Young Master Hightower! The compensation for this wine glass will be calculated separately!"

Before Mond Hightower had even walked out of the main gate of Dragon Kiss Garden, the madam's sweet voice drifted over.
