Chapter 503 To ride or not to ride

Lying in the cold snow, even Rhaegal It's not clear why oneself would suddenly give such an unprecedented gift - since he accepted the gift from Red God, Igor no longer needs gloves, ear protectors and other bits and pieces of thermal parts, and the result of showing his hands is: when his palm skin touches At the moment of Rhaegal's facial scales, the power of True Dragon is directly conducted in the form of bioelectricity on the body surface, bringing dozens or hundreds of times the effect of radiation alone through the air!

The sudden increase in deterrence to the point of breaking the watch made Green Dragon subconsciously think that oneself's inappropriate behavior angered the superiors, and the body's instinct instantly took over the muscles of the whole body. Before it could react, the entire dragon body had already He slumped firmly into the snowdrift.

Oneself has such an amazing effect on a dragon with a light touch!
Igor doesn't dare to dislike R'hllor's miserliness anymore - this little scale she gave to oneself seems unremarkable, but it surprises people again and again. He remembered with certainty that none of the three dragons had ever shown such a degree of fear and acknowledgement allegiance, even to Daenerys Targaryen, the incubator, nurturer, and tameer who actually had the True Dragon bloodline. This is like a Demon Dragon paired with a Dragonrider, just like a puppy reprimanded by its owner.

Melisandre also re-measured the man next to her in amazement—even though she was convinced that Igor was Lord of Light's choice, she had never imagined that he could subdue such a big guy so easily and completely. From what Moqorro and other colleagues have heard, even the "mother" of the Dragon Queen is not so comfortable taming them.

"It's afraid of you." Red Woman judged, and boldly extended the hand to touch the dragon's head again. This time, Igor's suppression was subdued, and Rhaegal didn't even snort. "I guess you'll have no problem riding it."

"Agreed, but... should I do that?"

Although it's a question, Igor actually There are not many ideas for advice, he already has the answer in his heart. Daenerys is ten years younger than him, but she is not a naive child. She is a king and oneself is a minister. If she relaxes her vigilance and becomes complacent because she has won her favor with a good story, she will end up miserably sooner or later. Igor always remembers that companions are like companions to tigers: relying on a little favor, he is so daring that he rides her dragon without saying hello... It's like marrying someone's daughter without a father-in-law - Queen It's a good result if you're happy to find the same kind and acquiesce Rhaegal as his mount, but what if you don't? Once suspicions are raised and the madness factor in her True Dragon bloodline is triggered, not only will a good start go to waste, it may even lead to trouble!
In addition to political considerations, there is actually another more practical problem facing Igor: he doesn't know how to ride a dragon.

Looking at the obedient appearance of Green Dragon's six bodies, it's definitely not a problem to climb on it and sit on its back, but what's next? How to order it to take off? How to order it to turn? How to order it to fly where? How to make it fly a circle and then send oneself back to the original place? How to make sure it doesn't throw oneself threw away when accelerating, braking and rolling?

This is not a joyful cartoon like "Expert How to Train Your Dragon". There are countless details in the real world. Anything goes wrong... R'hllor won't wake up suddenly from his long sleep, Then fly over to catch oneself, the spokesperson who is about to fall to his death! See how: Even someone like Daenerys who brought Drogon up and learned how to ride a dragon, ended up obediently and honestly putting a harness on the dragon's back?
...

To ride or not to ride, that is the question. Fortunately, he didn't have to worry about it any time soon: after thinking about it for a while, there was finally a square horse rider in the direction of Hearth - if only oneself's subordinates were present, he might have dared to take a ride. Dragon's addiction, but in front of Unsullied's face, with his prudence, he would definitely not make any actions that might be offended.

"Okay, darling, don't lie down in the snow, go back."

Igor patted Rhaegal's big, sturdy head and said loudly in the same tone as he would a big pet . But his wide palms were just a tickling for Green Dragon, and it couldn't understand what he said in his mouth. The latter blinked a few times, puzzled, and didn't make any movements.

"Valyria might be more useful," Melisandre suggested, before demonstrating in Daenerys' native tongue, "It's alright, let's go!"

Igor follows suit Repeated the sentence, while removing the hand on Rhaegal's head, Demon Dragon slowly raised his head, and stared at Igor hesitantly for a while, until he saw him waving his hand to drive away, it was indeed When he wanted it to leave, he shook off the remaining mud spots after the snow water evaporated from his body, opened his wings again, and flew away in a violent flap.

On the ground, the place where the dragon had just lied left a huge and narrow puddle, which was rapidly cooled and froze in the icy environment, while the square was still at the end of the field of vision. The cavalry, at this moment, has also arrived just a short distance away.

What is unexpected but reasonable is that not all the people who came to the squad are Unsullied, half of them are non-commissioned officers who were ordered by Igor to protect the Queen, and the leader is the leader of the team-to dare to. Warner Buckwell, who is highly regarded for his dirty work and execution.

"Lord Igor!" Like everyone else, Warner naturally saw the scene of the Green Dragon lying in the snow just now. It was found that he was indeed very different from the last time we met. "The Queen's dragon suddenly left the nest and flew away for no reason. We hurriedly ordered a team to come to investigate the reason. Just now... what happened?"

"I don't know either, maybe it has something to do with the Lord of Light's selection of me as the spokesperson." Igor didn't intend to explain much, he shook his head and said in general, "I'm here to explain this matter to the Queen face to face, so I don't care. That dragon is gone, let's go, take me into the city to see Your Majesty."

The Unsullied team leader who accompanied him was one of the few people in his colleagues who knew the common language of Westeros, but he could understand it only with a little understanding, and he could understand it. I can't use it proficiently. I saw that Rhaegal on the top of my head has flown back to the last Hearth direction, and Igor is planning to go into the city to see the Queen. After saying hello to him, he no longer asks.

Igor turned around and summoned squire Casey, who was holding three horses in a stunned distance not far away, and ordered the dozens of soldiers who were waiting further away to organize their ranks to keep up. Muddy, who "came out" of the dragon, went into town to meet Daenerys as planned, but after the soldiers gathered around, a voice stopped him.

"Sir, please wait a moment!"

Igor reined his horse and looked towards the speaker, and Leon held a huge crow in his hand and pushed the crowd's mounts forward: " Just now, when you were dealing with that dragon, you sent an emergency message from the front." He approached Igor and handed a note: "The scout in charge of vigilance found the shadow of the cavalry in the direction of the main force, most likely it was in charge of vigilance. North Patrol of Kingsroad, our movements... have probably been discovered."

There is certainly no Raven smart enough to deliver accurate information to a moving target in the wild, But the big bird that is sitting on Leon's arm has this ability - this is actually a crow controlled by a Skinchanger, or a beast spirit that is entering the crow's body. Rather than saying "it", it should be more "he", Igor brought this group of strange people with him and firmly controlled to ensure that he had the efficiency of reconnaissance and information transmission far beyond any army in the Seven Kingdoms, and now It really came in handy.

"So soon?"

Igor's heart sank.

The land-grant army mainly walks on his legs. Of course, he is not naive enough to think that Robb is full at home, eats, sleeps, eats, and does nothing. Oneself can be top secret until he arrives at Winterfell. Find. When the last Hearth, which originally belonged to North, was occupied by Daenerys · Targaryen, it was reasonable for House Stark to send patrolmen to guard the direction of the north, but what he did not expect was that this kid has a long memory after suffering a loss, and he actually Boldly stretches the ring of vigilance...so close to the last Hearth!
It is bad news that the opponent's vigilance is higher than expected, but it will not directly abort his plan. Relying on the macro advantages of fast marching along the main road and pre-war information control to block news in advance, the 1st Stage goal remains the same There is a high probability of realization: it will take more than half a day for the scouts to send the news back to Winterfell, but it will take a few days for Winterfell to send a letter to the North princes to bring them back to the various troops that have just left... In the past two days, oneself's business has won at least a week's extra advantage.

At the moment, whether the 1st Step strategic goal can be achieved depends only on whether oneself can take advantage of this week's advantage... Before North gathers troops to Winterfell on a large scale, get there first to seal the victory!
It was originally four to five days away from Winterfell - it doesn't matter whether it is four or five days, but now that it has been discovered in advance, then, for insurance, oneself may have to make sure to arrive in four days, even desperately Compressed to three and a half or even three days!
Green Dragon suddenly fell from the sky blocking his way and wasting dozens of minutes of his time, and going to the city later to explain to Daenerys "why her dragon is afraid of oneself" will waste a little more time he didn't plan...in The movement of the army has been discovered, and the time has become tense, the behavior of oneself to take a break from the army to meet the Queen seems to be out of time and dangerous!
"Warner." Igor made a decision in an instant, "The situation has changed, I have to return to the army immediately, I can't go into the city to explain to her again. Tell me: Queen's Black Dragon, How long will it take to fly again?"

"The wings have almost looked, and most of them are in these two days." Warner was a little puzzled: "You are all here, go to the city and see the Queen. How much time will it take? A war will not be won within half a day!"

"I have made up my mind, I don't need to say more." In front of him is oneself's capable subordinate, but after all, it is just a A native of this world with medieval thinking, Igor doesn't expect him to understand oneself's seemingly neurotic race against the clock: "Apologize to the Queen on my behalf, and tell Your Majesty - 'I am waiting for her in Winterfell'!"
