Chapter 502 Six-body castIgor expects the snow to stop after departure, but the expedition begins It was still down when it got dark, and the next day...he originally thought this would have a detrimental effect on oneself's strategic plan to run a thousand miles against Winterfell, but fortunately it turned out not to be so bad: something between "small" and "medium" The amount of snowfall, for the land-grant army, where more than 90% of the people are from the mountain clan and the beyond the wall tribe, is not much different from the cloudless. A journey: Thousands of people who were supposed to go north to go beyond the wall rushed against the wind for two days. They rushed to the junction of Kingsroad and the frozen Mojiang again at a faster speed than the others who fled south. They stood on the road again. Go to the final Hearth and Winterfell fork.
They have left the land grant and crossed the line into the North. Although the road to the south has been simply repaired and widened, the frequency and degree of snow removal are completely incomparable with the road inside the land grant. Winterfell's march speed will inevitably be reduced by a factor or two, and they will reach the political center of the North in four or five days, completing the 1st Stage objective of the "Encirclement of Winterfell" of the South Expedition.
Ordering the main body of the army to keep going south along Kingsroad, Igor took a few dozen closest guards to the other road to the east, and took a short errand to the last place where the Queen was now. Hearth.
The speed of the lightly armed small group of everyone who has horses is naturally faster than that of the large army that carries baggage and advances on foot. Igor's plan is: without delaying the land-grant armed main body's lightning march to Winterfell, draw out Visit Queen for a long time. After telling her that oneself "changed the plan and decided to help her fight for the throne first" and briefly explained oneself's "new" battle plan, he immediately left and left to chase after the majority, making sure to join up with the main force before dark today, without affecting the leadership of tomorrow. Continue marching.
As a result, a small group of fully armed black clothed persons walked on the trail of last month's ghoul army's last Hearth's attack, and swiftly but not chaotically, they headed towards the only North, who fell under the corpse tide. of the castle.
However, the distance of a few miles was fleeting, and soon, in the gray eastern sky, the shadowy outline of a castle appeared.
But it wasn't just the castle that entered the field of vision. With the sudden thunderous roar in the sky, in less than half a minute, a huge dark green shadow suddenly emerged from the flying snow. He appeared after the fog and swooped towards them, passing by as if rubbing the scalps of everyone at a height of only a few meters, and flapping his wings again behind them and climbing into the air.
Dragon!
The sudden "Dragon's Might" caught everyone off guard, and they all broke out in a cold sweat, although almost all of them participated in the battle of Long Lake, they have seen the world and can control their emotions, but the horses under their crotch did not Dharma possesses human courage and self-control. In a burst of screeching sounds, everyone's mounts suddenly lost control in a frenzy, the formation was in chaos, and several adults turned on their backs.
"Don't panic!" The accompanying Red Woman tightened the reins and shouted loudly, pinching a spell at a critical moment, using magic to soothe the frightened horses: "It won't attack us!"
Melisandre doesn't know the existence of R'hllor's gift, much less that Igor is now carrying the power of True Dragon even more than Daenerys, but she doesn't need any reason to believe that Demon Dragon is the body of fire , it is impossible to damage the chosen one of the Lord of Light.
That's true.
With the help of the female Maegi method, Igor, who led the team, successfully controlled the horse that almost dropped oneself, and without any panic, he ordered everyone to resume the queue and continue on their way, while frowned looking at the air.
Oneself is the one who ordered the dragon to feed the Queen at all costs, and the information sent back also shows that the two dragons have been sleeping peacefully in the castle - neither flying around to create panic, nor bad things hurt. If it wasn't for the soldiers who stayed behind the Queen who were so daring to deceive oneself, what was going on with this Green Dragon?
……
Not only Igor on the ground is confused, but Rhaegal flying in the sky is even more confused.
One minute ago, it was still sleeping soundly in the dragon's nest sheltered from the wind and snow, but suddenly noticed an unusually intimidating... No, the strange pressure of the dragon is from far to near. The direction of oneself comes directly. It is different from the terrifying aura emanating from an unknown existence outside the ice wall to the north: this one coming to it this time, besides making it feel scared, is more of a kind of worship and adoration from the bottom of my heart. Awe... This is a kind of repression at the Soul level, so thorough that it doesn't even dare to escape, so it can only get out of the Dragonpit obediently and fly up to meet him.
Green Dragon originally guessed that oneself would see a huge mountain range, with its wings open to cover the heavens, shielding the sun... It is very likely that oneself is an old dragon of a certain generation of ancestors, who wants to fly somewhere to find it I didn't see half of the imaginary dragon's shadow for a long time, and then I sensed it carefully, only to find that it was actually under my body - on the ground.
In the dragon's world view, it is disrespectful to fly over the head of the strong, so it hurriedly dived down, but still didn't find the master, only to see dozens of horses riding in the snow. Humans walking in. It couldn't figure out the reason why it didn't want to fall into the snow and quickly pulled up the height again, circled back, and cautiously circled seven or eight circles before confirming that oneself was right: the source of the breath that made it both respectful and awe-inspiring was now. The team was among the little people who were slowly advancing on the ground.
Rhaegal's brain without much wisdom can't figure out the reason, but the instinctive fear from deep in the genes makes it impossible to "don't go back to sleep" or "go back to sleep". "Attack and test" and other thoughts, after looking down and looking for a while but unable to understand the situation, it finally decided: go to the ground, and then take a closer look.
＊＊＊
The wings flapped and blew a lot of snowflakes, and in a strong wind like a storm, the dark green shadow that hovered over everyone's heads for several times finally lowered its height again. , cut into the forward direction of a line of black clothed persons from the side, and finally landed in the thick snow by the road ahead.
The crowd had to stop again.
"My lord, what are we going to do now?" Kathy asked, dumbfounded. The dragon has been flying above their heads for a while, Igor ordered everyone to ignore it and continue to move forward, and the big guy followed the order, but it fell and was blocking the road. Even if they can continue to go straight, it is impossible for them to pass the psychological level. Flesh through a dragon is not!
"It's coming for you, Lord Commander." Melisandre reined in his horse, turning his face to stare at him.
Igor nods and doesn't speak. oneself is not a fool, he had already guessed this when the dragon made the first circle above their heads, and even pushed it further - the day he received R'hllor's gift a few days ago, he was already convinced: the next time oneself encounters the dragon There may be some situations... but all the imaginary scenes are in the presence of Daenerys, and the reality is: he did not meet the dragon, but the dragon flew over to find him.
A Green Dragon with an owner rashly flew in front of oneself to block the way. As a subordinate oneself, what should I do with it?
"You guys stay where you are, Kathy, Melisandre, come with me."
The young squire is now considered a young man, but his courage has not increased much. After being named Shrinking their heads reluctantly, they rode their horses out of the crowd - the three of them left the queue and slowly paced towards the big guy who was parked up ahead a few dozen meters away.
Green Dragon used its tail and limbs to sweep away the snow on its side, sorted out a field that made it less uncomfortable, and then stopped moving, raising its long neck like a swan, spraying With the hot white fog quietly overlooking the three of them on horseback. With seven or eight meters away, the horses wouldn't take a step no matter how hard they pushed or whipped them, so Igor dismounted with his two valet and asked Casey to hold the reins of the three horses so they wouldn't be frightened. Run away and walk through this last segment with the Red Woman.
This big guy really hates North for a reason: the snow around his body quickly turns into snow water under its high-heat body temperature, and it will soon be where his feet and tail hang down. Small puddles, mixed with gradually thawing frozen soil and then turned into mud... Stepping on such a pool of mud is simply disgusting to think about, no wonder it took a long time to fly before it was willing to land.
The scorching heat on Demon Dragon used to be so repulsive, but now it's no longer an obstacle. Igor raised his head and kept eye contact with the big guy, cautiously but not timidly. Walking into the shadow of Green Dragon and reaching out to touch it, he stood still, akimbo to see what it wanted.
One raised his head almost vertically, the other lowered his head almost straight - after a few seconds of staring at each other like this, Rhaegal finally confirmed that the aura came from the little man in front of him, with a slight body. He stepped back, lowered his head, and put his head, which was slightly smaller than the Black Dragon Drogon, but still huge for a human, next to Igor, and used his huge eyeballs with vertical pupils to face the man's face. Understand: Why does such a little fellow who can be swallowed by oneself in one bite carry such a powerful aura that makes it trembling in fear?
The dragon doesn't have rich facial expressions, and Igor can't read his thoughts from its eyes, he is hesitating how to respond, it is also the first time that he is so close to a dragon and the boldness of execution stems from superb skill Melisandre couldn't help but extend the hand first, cautiously touching Green Dragon's nose.
"Chi—" The bronze-colored dragon's eyes turned towards the daring witch, and with a violent snort, Rhaegal opened his mouth to reveal his black teeth, and made a violent bite at Melisandre.
It had already learned about "people can't eat" from Daenerys, and this time he opened his mouth and closed his mouth just to scare the red-clothed woman, but Igor had no idea what it was going to do, and listened to him. Oneself whispered a low voice from a woman who had shared bedtime, and saw the only red robe priest beside oneself in distress, wondering if Melisandre's spell was capable of protecting himself under the dragon's mouth, he subconsciously reached out and pressed Green Dragon's head superior.
In the palm of his hand, the scalding heat that could have burned him now feels just right to the touch, but what happened next caught everyone present by surprise: the last second, he was still aggressive towards Red. Woman's fierce Green Dragon froze in place the moment he was touched by Igor's hand, as if he was holding it down with ten thousand force. The next second, he put away his grinning appearance, then took a step back and bowed down. Lower your shoulders, lower your neck, and make a body language that any species and any culture can understand at a glance: prostrate oneself in admiration lying on the ground!
No, in addition to the chin, front claws with wings, and hind legs, the dragon also has an extra tail, so if it is more vivid, it should be called - six-body throwing to the ground!
