Drogon breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Daenerys and little Shireen no longer had any grudges against each other over him, and listened to the two discussing the Targaryen family history.
After listening to the story told by the Mother of Dragons, Drogon finally gained a deeper understanding of the former glory of the dragon family Targaryen.
House Targaryen is the ruling family of the Freehold of Valyria.
The Valyrian Freehold was once the largest empire on the continent of Essos, ruling over most of the continent, including the nine free trade cities, the Slaver's Bay, the Bay of Sorrow, and all the islands around the Long Summer Land. The Dragonstone Island in Westeros was under the jurisdiction of the empire at the time.
The Valyrian civilization was also the most advanced civilization in the world at that time. Valyrian steel was the magical alloy they created. Today, there are very few blacksmiths in Westeros who can forge Valyrian weapons.
More than four hundred years ago, a true dragon-blooded member of the Targaryen family predicted the doomsday catastrophe of the Freehold of Valyria through a dragon dream.
He led his family to migrate to Dragonstone. Not long after they left, the Valyrian Freehold encountered the doomsday catastrophe. Almost all other families with dragons died out. Even the dragons and dragon eggs that did not have time to escape were destroyed along with the Valyrian castle.
The city of Valyria was torn into several small islands, forming a sea of smoke known as the Devil's Land. Many adventurers have entered the ruins of Valyria to explore, but very few have survived.
Theon's uncle Euron may be the only person to successfully explore the ruins of Valyria, and it is said that he also found the Dragon Horn that can control dragons.
A hundred years after the Doom of Valyria, Aegon the Conqueror conquered the Seven Kingdoms with only three remaining Targaryen dragons and ten thousand soldiers.
Using a thousand swords of losers and the dragon flame of the Black Death Balerion, the Iron Throne was forged, and the Targaryen family was able to rule Westeros for three hundred years.
The rule of the Targaryen family ended when Daenerys' father, the Mad King Aerys, was killed by Jaime the Kingslayer and the usurper Robert Baratheon sat on the Iron Throne.
Drogon was listening with great interest when the door of the hall was suddenly pushed open with a bang, and an Unsullied ran in and handed Daenerys a letter.
When Daenerys got the letter, she knew it was sent by Varys's little bird. She unfolded the letter and took a look at it, and her face suddenly changed.
There were only a few words in the letter: Grey Worm was ambushed in the west barn.
Just as Daenerys was about to run out to summon the Unsullied for help, she felt a slight pain in her shoulder. Drogon flew out of the door like lightning, leaving only Drogon's simple words in her ears: [Barristan! ]
Daenerys was about to run out when she paused. The letter clearly said that Grey Worm was ambushed, so why did Drogon mention Barristan?
"I sent Barristan to several barns to check the rice reserves this morning. Could he be in the west barn?" Daenerys suddenly thought.
"Hurry up and tell Yellow Dove to take men to the west barn!" Daenerys ran to the door and gave urgent orders to the Unsullied guards.
I hope Drogon still makes it in time, Daenerys thought anxiously as she watched the guards run out to look for the Unsullied officer Blue Dove under the pyramid.
The old face that often urged me to be kind appeared in my mind.
And Grey Worm, the leader of the Unsullied who has always been by her side, makes Daenerys heartbroken to think that he is being ambushed at this moment.
"Your Majesty, are you going to find Lord Tyrion?" Seeing Daenerys panic after reading the letter and Drogon's sudden disappearance, although Shireen didn't know what happened, she understood the seriousness of the matter.
Yes, and Tyrion, who is currently on the next floor compiling a book on government affairs.
Jorah is out with the Second Sons to find out about the Sons of the Harpy. The only person Daenerys can discuss this with now is Tyrion.
Missandei also put down her pen and came to Daenerys, but she was obviously not good at dealing with the current situation.
The three of them hurried downstairs, where Tyrion was flipping through a book and taking notes. When he saw the anxious expressions on Daenerys and the other two's faces, he immediately realized that something was unusual.
After listening to Daenerys, Tyrion immediately said: "This ambush must not be that simple. We should immediately send a message to Jorah and the Unsullied, and the whole city should be on alert. The Sons of the Harpy may have other actions. Your Majesty, you should stay here and don't go anywhere until Drogon returns, and strengthen the protection of the pyramid."
Tyrion was afraid that this was a conspiracy against Daenerys. He could barely accept the losses of others, but Daenerys must not be harmed.
Daenerys also planned to lead people to rescue Grey Worm personally and check the current situation in Meereen. After being reminded by Tyrion, she realized that the biggest target of the Sons of the Harpy might be her. If she went out, she would only cause trouble for her subordinates.
So Daenerys summoned five hundred Unsullied guards to protect the pyramid, so that she had time to stand on the pyramid and observe the entire city of Meereen.
After observing for a few minutes, she saw dozens of people wearing golden harpy helmets suddenly emerge from an alley not far from the pyramid and attack the Unsullied who were on duty in the alley.
At the same time, dozens of people wearing golden helmets appeared on another road.
Daenerys soon discovered that the golden helmets in the alleys and on the roads were running towards the pyramid where she was after killing their opponents.
Tyrion was right. Their ultimate target was indeed him. If he had gone out just now, he would have been surrounded by them.
Now the pyramid is guarded by five hundred Unsullied, so even fifteen hundred people would find it difficult to break in. The main purpose of the Great Lord of Meereen living in the pyramid is to prevent slave riots.
They had long considered that the pyramid might be besieged one day, and put a lot of effort into defense when designing the pyramid.
The only thing Daenerys was worried about was the generals outside, like Barristan and Grey Worm.
Drogon rushed out of the pyramid and went straight to the barn west of Meereen. He was mostly present when Daenerys and her men discussed Meereen affairs, and was very familiar with the map of Meereen.
When Drogon saw Grey Worm ambushed and Barristan was not with Daenerys, he immediately thought of Barristan's death.
The Sons of the Harpy ambushed Grey Worm, and Barristan went to support him. The two fought hard and killed enemies that were several times their number. Grey Worm was seriously injured, and Barristan was stabbed in the vitals and could not be saved. The Dragon Queen lost a loyal member of the Queen's Guard.
Rushing out of the pyramid, Drogon arrived at the barn in less than two minutes and saw Barristan blocked at the entrance of the barn passage.
There were four or five corpses lying on the ground next to him. His left shoulder was stained with blood and he was besieged by three Sons of the Harpy wearing golden helmets.
Barristan lived up to his title of Fearless. Although seriously injured, he showed no fear in the face of the siege of three people. He moved sideways to parry the attack of a man with a golden helmet, and stabbed a sneak attacker in the chest with his backhanded sword.
At the same time as seeing Barristan, Drogon also saw Grey Worm deep in the passage. He was in a very bad condition. He was kneeling on one knee, waving a spear to block the four Banshee's sons around him. It was obvious that he had been seriously injured.
