The giant dragon that had suddenly charged out to attack the Cannibal was Sheepstealer, another adult wild dragon living on Dragonstone.
At this time, his body length was only a little over forty meters.
He was thin, ugly, and looked far less imposing than the great dragons of House Targaryen.
But a dragon was still a dragon.
And perhaps Sheepstealer had long been enraged by the Cannibal’s tyranny.
Or perhaps he himself had often been bullied and driven away by the Cannibal in the past.
Now that Dreamfyre was restraining the ferocious old dragon head-on, Sheepstealer naturally would not miss such an excellent opportunity to strike back.
Unfortunately, his combat strength was truly lacking.
Even with the advantage of a surprise attack, he barely managed to inflict any substantial damage upon the Cannibal.
However, his attack still created a precious opening for Dreamfyre, allowing her to seize the advantage in the current dragon battle.
Although the Cannibal had previously bitten Sheepstealer’s wing, the injury was not severe enough to affect his mobility.
Thus, Sheepstealer immediately joined the aerial assault against the Cannibal.
Seizing an opening, he rapidly soared upward before releasing a stream of scorching dragonfire onto the Cannibal’s already shredded back.
The Cannibal roared in pain and furiously twisted his head toward Sheepstealer, retaliating instantly with a splash of sickly green molten dragonfire.
Fortunately, Sheepstealer dodged with surprising agility.
At that exact moment, Dreamfyre seized the opportunity and swung her massive tail violently through the air with a deafening whistle.
The Cannibal failed to dodge in time.
His enormous body was struck sideways by the heavy blow.
Seeing this opportunity, Sheepstealer immediately lunged forward, opening his maw filled with jagged fangs and viciously biting into the Cannibal’s exposed flank.
He violently tore away a large chunk of dragon flesh before quickly retreating again with remarkable alertness.
Dreamfyre then unleashed another torrent of blazing sky-blue dragonfire.
The flames surged forward like a tidal wave toward the Cannibal.
The Cannibal naturally refused to yield and immediately spat out his own sickly green flames in resistance.
The two streams of dragonfire collided violently in the sky, causing the surrounding air itself to tremble and distort from the heat.
Meanwhile, Sheepstealer circled around behind the Cannibal once more.
His claws viciously ripped away another large piece of flesh, which he greedily swallowed whole.
The Cannibal twisted violently in pain.
At this point, the ancient dragon was truly enraged.
His eyes turned bloodshot with fury.
Abandoning his direct confrontation with Dreamfyre, the Cannibal suddenly turned and lunged toward Sheepstealer instead.
She immediately directed Dreamfyre to accelerate and crash directly into the Cannibal from behind.
Dreamfyre’s powerful hind legs slammed violently into the Cannibal’s lower back.
This type of attack was extremely dangerous for dragons.
Not only could it throw a dragon completely off balance, but it could also severely injure the spine and hind limbs, potentially crippling the dragon entirely.
Caught in a pincer attack from both sides, the Cannibal instantly fell into chaos.
However, this ancient dragon possessed tremendous combat experience.
Despite already being covered in wounds and suffering a serious injury to his lower back that caused weakness in his hind claws, he still managed to stabilize himself quickly.
The vicious and cunning Cannibal immediately realized he would gain nothing from today’s battle.
He had already been starving for a very long time, and his stamina was rapidly declining.
Meanwhile, Dreamfyre remained vigorous and powerful.
If the battle continued, he truly might die at the hands of these two dragons he had previously looked down upon.
Thus, the Cannibal frantically beat his wings and fled toward the Narrow Sea.
Looking at Sheepstealer’s thin and battered figure, Daniella loudly shouted,
“Thank you, Sheepstealer!”
“I will roast many more delicious fat goats for you in the future!”
Although Daniella did not know whether Sheepstealer could truly understand her words, she genuinely appreciated his help today.
In the future, she would certainly pay more attention to this ugly dragon.
After all, regardless of appearance, Sheepstealer was still an adult dragon.
Establishing a friendly relationship with him would never be a bad thing.
Watching the Cannibal flee frantically into the distance, Daniella did not intend to kill him completely.
Thus, she merely had Dreamfyre follow slowly behind him, ensuring that he truly intended to abandon the battle.
However, another unexpected development suddenly occurred.
Just as the Cannibal fled near a coastal cliff, the enormous dragon Vhagar suddenly lunged out from the rocks below.
The ancient bronze-green dragon bit viciously into the Cannibal’s body before violently throwing him onto the beach.
The already exhausted Cannibal suffered this devastating blow and immediately lost consciousness.
Daniella was instantly shocked.
She quickly shouted to stop Vhagar from delivering another fatal attack.
“No, Vhagar, don’t kill him!”
Perhaps because Vhagar had eaten so much delicious roasted lamb provided by Daniella over recent months, the old dragon actually halted her actions.
After confirming Daniella’s intentions, Vhagar truly refrained from attacking the unconscious Cannibal any further.
Instead, she slowly landed upon the nearby shore and lazily lay down.
However, her fierce gaze remained fixed upon the unconscious Cannibal.
Daniella also landed nearby with Dreamfyre.
After confirming that the Cannibal had indeed passed out from his severe injuries, she finally relaxed completely.
Next came the matter of dealing with the aftermath.
To thank both Vhagar and Sheepstealer for their contributions during the battle, Daniella ordered hundreds of fat goats to be carefully roasted and delivered to them.
Since Sheepstealer lived deep within the Dragonmont, Daniella had the Dragon Guard personally transport the roasted goats near the entrance of his lair.
She believed that once Sheepstealer smelled the aroma, he certainly would not refuse such delicious offerings.
As for Vhagar’s share of roasted goats, Daniella specifically had Viserys personally lead the Dragon Guard to deliver them.
After this dragon battle, Daniella truly felt that if Viserys still could not gather the determination to tame a dragon and protect his family, then she would completely give up on him.
When the future struggle for the throne eventually arrived, she would rather watch her relatives shed blood than support a weak Viserys ascending the throne and eventually leading House Targaryen toward another Dance of the Dragons.
Because the Cannibal’s body was simply too massive to move, the Dragon Guards brought out specially forged heavy chains designed for restraining dragons.
Using nearby massive rocks as anchors, they firmly chained the unconscious Cannibal upon the beach.
This ancient and ferocious wild dragon was finally forced into transitioning from a wild dragon into a restrained one.
Fortunately, this time Viserys did not disappoint Daniella.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to deliver roasted goats to Vhagar, he decisively stepped before the great dragon and attempted to tame the last surviving Conquest dragon of House Targaryen.
One should not be deceived by Viserys’s usual gentle and easygoing demeanor.
After all, he had once been the dragonrider who tamed Balerion the Black Dread.
The aura Viserys displayed while standing before a dragon was unexpectedly captivating.
It was completely different from Daemon’s reckless arrogance and overflowing masculine aggression.
Viserys instead possessed a calm, composed, and astonishingly firm presence.
It seemed that deep within Viserys’s heart existed another side that ordinary people rarely noticed.
Daniella stood nearby, nervously watching the interaction between Vhagar and Viserys.
At this moment, Vhagar had already devoured dozens of roasted fat goats and was in an exceptionally good mood.
The ancient dragon stared at the sturdy and resolute man before her.
Then she tilted her massive head toward Daniella before lowering it again to sniff Viserys carefully.
Soon after, the ancient dragon Vhagar finally made her decision.
She slowly lowered her enormous body before Viserys.
