Chapter 695 as easy as pieunexpected harvest .
Igor showed his loyalty all the time, and his initial starting point was very simple: since the ending is doomed, it is better to brush the Queen's favorability instead of arguing... It will be beneficial to both work and people in the future.
Who would have thought, it seems that because of the lack of love and the reason why the dialogue happened next to the dragon house, Queen actually said on the spot: He should try to ride the Green Dragon!
In other words, as long as he can sit on it, Rhaegal is his mount from now on.
Take a dragon as a reward!
Even though I felt I had done enough for Queen, such an alternative but heavy reward still exceeded Igor's expectations.
What is the value of one-stop?
Economically, no one can tell. After all, in the known history of the Ice and Fire world, there is no definite record of buying and selling adult dragons at clearly marked prices.
But for the military, there are ready-made examples for reference, right in front of Igor:
In today's great decisive battle during the day, the Reach army is precisely because the Queen and the dragon are late. When he appeared, he dared to push the dragon-hunting crossbow, which was supposed to be on standby in the back of the battle, to the front. This operation actually caused a series of chain reactions: because the shooting of the dragon-hunting crossbow on the ground gave the Queen's army the The infantry on the western front was under great pressure, and Igor had to immediately mobilize the troops of the three phalanxes on the second line to provide support, and at the same time dispatch half of the artillery to suppress it. These two responses did relieve the pressure in a short period of time, but the former order left him with almost no troops in the last wave of the surface attack, and the latter one made the firepower suppression of the other two lines of the West Expedition Force obviously insufficient. In short ...to make an otherwise sure battle surrounded by perils.
It is conceivable that if at first there are two dragons - no, even just one - hovering over the battlefield... Even if they and the Queen do not dive into the battle because of the threat of the dragon hunting crossbow, it is also Regardless of the encouragement of their own side and the psychological pressure of the enemy, it is at least certain that the "air defense unit" of the Reach Army will never dare to switch to ground combat. This also means that the dragon can at least contain the output of a dozen of the enemy's great killing tools and hundreds of elite crossbow sappers, thereby making the ground operations of the West Expedition Force easy and orderly, just like the original It unfolds as imagined, and wins without suspense until the end is known.
With such a total, the rough but big inference that the direction is cleared comes out.
Two dragons are at least equivalent to the armed force of three phalanxes and six thousand elite soldiers on the battlefield. This number may further expand with the correct choice of timing and method of investment and exquisite command...
...not capped!
Also, if Igor remembers correctly, Daenerys treats all three dragons as children.
This also means that in the decision of "allowing others to try to ride a dragon", the value of the dragon itself and how many divisions it can hold are not the most meaningful topics to discuss. What is more central or worth paying attention to is that this kind of permission and even encouragement itself - the subtle changes in emotions it represents: Daenerys has placed Igor's status and importance to the "Dragon Sons" in his heart. above.
With such a good foundation, it's probably only a matter of time before the Dragonrider rides after the Dragonrider.
Under Daenerys' approving and gratifying gaze, and the surprised gazes of the guards and the soldiers sucking in a cold breath, Igor also raised his hand and placed it symmetrically with Queen's left and right. Arrived Rhaegal leaned on the nose in front of them.
The direct contact makes the power of True Dragon instantly transfer to Green Dragon's brain in the form of bioelectricity, Rhaegal is shivered all over his body like eating a big mouth of mustard. Then, something similar to the last time we met outside the final Hearth was repeated: after shaking all over, it bent its knees, lowered its shoulders, lowered its neck, and its jaw crushed West in the crisp ka-cha sound. The fence that army soldiers built around the dragon house with wooden strips, nominally used to surround the dragon, is actually a fence to stop idiots from seeking death, and once again made a fence that any species and any culture can understand at a glance. Body language: All six bodies are on the ground, get down!
Daenerys raised his eyebrows unexpectedly.
Unlike Igor, this was the first time she had seen Rhaegal make this obedient gesture—a gesture that seemed shameful, but was actually the same gesture Drogon made when she was about to get up and down the dragon's back Very similar, with a few differences: the Black Dragon doesn't put its entire tail on the ground when it leans down.
Even when her "mother" was about to ride a dragon, Drogon wasn't so good!
"Since Your Majesty has instructed me, I will obey."
This is the king's reward, and there is no reason to deny it. Igor didn't know that Daenerys was feeling a little bit of sourness in his heart. He smiled and said something nice. He still stroked Green Dragon's steaming body with his hands without any hesitation, and walked over the fence that had been destroyed. , walked towards the "shoulders" of the giant winged lizard.
The Black Dragon, not far away, snorted heavily, and the soldiers who were drinking and eating meat all around also attracted their attention. Eat melon masses.
Under the countless lines of sight of people or beasts, Igor passed Green Dragon's solid and broad neck as if walking through a wall, and stood at the base of Rhaegal's wings.
As he stopped, the scene fell silent. The just discussed spiritedly stopped completely at this moment, everyone closed their mouths and held their breaths, waiting for the next move of the Prime Minister, for fear of making any noise to disturb the giant beast beside him.
Igor is no longer a middle schooler. He has no ardent desire or strong expectation for riding a dragon, but even if psychological factors such as prestige and glory are thrown away, he can fly and breathe fire. The dragon is still a fast and convenient means of transportation and an amazing weapon of war with destructive power... With the breath on the scales given by R'hllor, he has no doubts about the fact that oneself can ride a dragon. The only worry before is also She just didn't want to go beyond the Queen's permission and offend her private property without authorization.
And now, the final troubles have been disappeared with Daenerys' promise.
He started "Denglong".
The Green Dragon didn't carry anyone, and its original purpose of laying down was to show compliance allegiance rather than implying Igor on it, so it's not surprising: Rhaegal lay low, but not at all. No one is as skilled in a pose as its big brother to ease up and down.
But not much.
The leathery scales on the adult dragon's body are rough and hard as tires, and they are also covered with criss-crossed textures and bulges that are similar to the toad's body, which makes dragons ten times larger. The body itself constitutes a very low difficulty "climbing" platform - as long as you are not afraid of the scorching body temperature emanating from their bodies, and the dragon itself does not move in coordination, it is actually not difficult to climb up.
And these two requirements are all met at this moment.
The scales of R'hllor on the chest emit a slight warmth under the skin, and the body of the Demon Dragon, which is hot to ordinary people, becomes warm and pleasant under his palm, and is stroked by Igor all the way. As Rhaegal approached the wing base, under the shock of the amazing pressure of R'hllor's scales, he didn't even dare to take a breath, let alone disturbing his climbing.
So, grabbing the hard protrusions at the root of Green Dragon's wings with both hands, stepping on the toe of the boots into its half-foot-deep body surface texture, and exerting force with both hands and feet, Igor turned it up with great ease. Rhaegal's wing membrane, standing on the shoulders of giant beast. In the uniform sound of gasping in the whole field, he did not delay in the slightest, but quickly continued his efforts - after a run-up step, he took off on the dragon's huge shoulder blades, stepped on the rough arched back of the Green Dragon, and rushed up in one breath. Rhaegal back.
as easy as blowing off dust!
The exclamations immediately spread throughout most of the camp. Simple-minded spectators were simply amazed that their Lord Commander could ride a dragon, while those who thought a little deeper had already realized that: The political meaning of controlling the dragon is unusual within True Dragon Dynasty, and the wealth and safety of their followers has an extra layer of protection!
Not to mention that the soldiers onlookers made a riot, even Daenerys did his best to hide the surprise of oneself: she didn't know about Valyria Freehold before the apocalypse, but what is certain is - on the Westeros continent under her feet , taming an adult dragon so smoothly is something that has never happened before.
A moment ago, she was worried that Green Dragon would not obey, so she put her hand on its head. Now, she actually suspects that there is a "female love" in this one-man world.
This man has many secrets waiting to be discovered!
"Don't move around, find a safe place and sit down!"
Daenerys' reminder sounded through the amazement and discussion to the back of the dragon. It was a warning that Igor was almost half a beat late because he was moving too fast. The dragon's back is as rough as a desert rock wall that has been weathered for thousands of years. As soon as Igor climbs up, he immediately lowers his center of gravity and follows the same pattern to the center of the neck-back junction of Green Dragon and directly above the dragon's physique heart. Squat down. What I was thinking about was to lower the center of gravity to prevent the oneself from being thrown off by the shaking of the dragon body. However, when I squatted down halfway, my crotch touched a hard object and it hurt. After listening to Daenerys' warning, I looked down and saw that it was the dragon's back. On the skin surface along the direction of the spine, there is a row of large and small thick and hard spike-like protrusions.
Dude, how does this ride?
If you want to sit down without any effort and then take off for a half-circle, it is estimated that you can only ride a dragon obediently in this life, and you don't have to worry about riding a Dragonrider anymore.
"Okay, Rhaegal has accepted you, it's night, can't take off, come down!" Daenerys' shout continued from below, "It's no use climbing up, it's better Still have to prepare a saddle and safety rope. Tomorrow I will teach the two red robe priests the dragon-riding ceremony that I mastered in the land of shadows, and let them do it for you. Just link your mind a little with Rhaegal's consciousness and you will You can save more than ten years of skill training and become a qualified Dragonrider directly!"
Igor followed the Queen's advice and returned to the ground along the original road.
At this time, two soldiers ran quickly from the Great Way of the camp to the west of Longshe. At first everyone thought they were two who had heard what happened to Longshe and wanted to join in the fun. Good deeds, until they ran up to Igor and Daenerys gasping for breath and started debriefing loudly.
“Queen Your Majesty, Your Excellency the Prime Minister. Highgarden has sent a negotiating mission and is waiting for a reply and release outside the west gate of the camp!”
