Following the traces left by the wildling army all the way north, we slowed down and flew for an hour before we saw another team slowly advancing.
From a distance, they don't look much different from the savage army just now, but if you get closer and observe carefully, you can immediately find their differences.
The movements are stiff, the steps are unsteady, the body is more or less twisted or crooked, and even violates the normal joint angles.
Having learned from the lesson of being discovered by the mammoth just now, Drogon did not get too close to the Night King's army of the dead. Instead, he observed the entire team from afar in the sky, trying to find the Night King's trace.
The closer they got to the Army of the Dead, the stronger the wind and snow became, reminding Drogon of the snowstorm caused by the Night King when the White Walkers attacked the city, making it difficult for Daenerys and Jon to see while riding on their dragons.
The opportunity to burn the trench was almost delayed. Fortunately, the red-robed woman Aunt Mei helped to stop the Death Legion from advancing.
After looking around with his eyes wide open, Drogon still couldn't find the Night King in the team. He estimated that the entire army of the dead had about 50,000 to 60,000 people.
The distribution was extremely scattered, and with the current visibility, the other side of the army could not be seen at a glance. Drogon could only circle around to find the location of the Night King.
While searching for the Night King, he was observing the White Walkers at the edge of the army. They did look similar to zombies in appearance, the only difference was that their eyes were blue, and their movements were not as slow as they are now. They really fought very quickly.
It is said that the White Walkers can only be killed with dragonglass, Valyrian steel swords and dragon flames. Drogon has the urge to spit fire.
"Um?"
As soon as he thought of this, he suddenly felt a tingling sensation on his scalp. Without time to think about it, he flapped his wings and flew straight up.
Puff!
Drogon felt a pain in his right leg as a spear whizzed past his body.
As he flapped his wings and flew high, he turned his head to look in the direction where the spear came from and vaguely saw several horses moving slowly in the wind and snow.
"Damn it! We were ambushed." drogon couldn't help but curse in his heart.
He instinctively thought that he could not see the Night King and the Night King should not be able to see him, but he forgot that the wind and snow might only affect his vision but not the Night King.
It is estimated that when he was looking for the Night King, the Night King had been secretly observing him and threw the spear at him when he was distracted.
Drogon thought as he flew erratically. Although his leg injury was still there, he was not as afraid of the Night King as he was at the beginning.
Although the spear just now was extremely powerful, it did not have any other magical powers, nor did it have any strange abilities, which made Drogon feel much more at ease. What he was most worried about was that the Night King's spear contained some means that he did not understand.
Now he was glad that the Night King shot his leg instead of his wing, otherwise he would have to escape back to the Wall in disgrace.
Although he had some confidence in himself, Drogon had no intention of confronting the Night King head-on. He couldn't kill the Night King by burning him with dragon flame, and he couldn't just scratch him to death with his claws.
He now barely has the ability to deal with the Night King at a long distance.
He checked the wound on his leg. Although he dodged in time, a large piece of scale fell off his leg, and a piece of meat as big as a peanut was taken away by the spear.
Although such a large piece of meat looks extremely small when it is a larva, if it grows into an adult, it would probably be as big as a washbasin, almost to the point of breaking bones.
This was just a glancing hit. If he was hit head-on, he would probably not be able to survive.
Just thinking about Drogon makes me feel scared. Despite being extremely careful, he still almost fell into the trap of the Night King.
But if he were to escape now, he would feel reluctant. He was attacked by a spear and didn't even get to see what the Night King looked like. How could Drogon be willing to return to the Wall?
After observing the Night King's previous position, Drogon swooped down, while trying to observe the Night King and his men, and finally he saw the horses again.
When he saw the Night King, he was taking the spear handed to him by his men and preparing to hit Drogon again.
At this time, Drogon also saw the appearance of the Night King clearly. He was wearing a set of light armor, his face was covered with vertical lines, as if it was carved, and his eyes were deep blue.
Of course Drogon would not be stupid enough to run into the Night King's spear. He was not confident enough to dodge the javelin throw from the Night King head-on. After seeing the Night King clearly, Drogon raised his wings and flew to the side.
The Night King thought Drogon was going to dive straight at him, but he didn't expect Drogon to turn halfway. He could only turn around mechanically and aim at Drogon again.
However, Drogon did not give the Night King a chance to aim at him at close range, and used his nimble little body to change directions back and forth.
He might be able to aim and hit the adult dragon Night King with one strike, but as for the juvenile Drogon, who was extremely agile,
even if he had super throwing ability, he could not figure out Drogon's flying pattern for a while and did not throw the second spear. He was unable to throw the spear until Drogon disappeared into the sky.
After looking at the direction where Drogon disappeared for a while, he returned the spear to his men and continued to command the Death Army to move forward along the traces left by the wildling army.
On the way back, Drogon did not stay at the Wall, but flew directly to King's Landing.
A few hours later, he arrived at a shabby street next to the Flea Bottom in King's Landing. He looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he took out the letter Varys left for him.
The location for collecting the information this time was different from the previous times. In order to prevent the frequent transmission of intelligence from being discovered, Varys, the intelligence chief, changed the location again.
After receiving the letter, the first thing Drogon saw was two pieces of death news: one was from the Wall, where Jeor Mormont, commander of the Night's Watch, was betrayed by his men and stabbed to death in Craster's Keep.
Seeing the death of Commander Mormont, Drogon couldn't help but feel sad for Jorah. The relationship between this father and son has always been not very good. I wonder how Jorah will react when he learns of his father's death.
Drogon was not too surprised by the death of Commander Mormont, but he never expected the other death.
The Hand of the King Tywin was poisoned to death in his bedroom using a highly toxic strangler. Tyrion was considered the murderer of his father and was hunted down by Queen Mother Cersei.
Drogon didn't expect that Shae didn't betray Tyrion or sleep with Tywin, but Tywin still died so early.
Naturally, he would not doubt that it was really Tyrion who poisoned Tywin before leaving. Without Shae's double stimulation, Tyrion would not have been able to commit the treasonous act of patricide.
Who poisoned Tywin? According to Varys' own analysis, there are three possibilities.
The most likely possibility is that Olenna, the Queen of Thorns, and Littlefinger conspired together, because it was they who poisoned Joffrey.
Tywin controls the government, and poisoning Tywin will be more advantageous for Olenna and Littlefinger in playing the Game of Thrones.
The second person Varys suspected was Oberyn, Prince of Dorne. He hated Tywin to the core. After killing the Mountain in a duel, he was still not satisfied, so it was possible that he poisoned Tywin.
The third suspect was somewhat unexpected to Drogon. Varys actually suspected that Cersei poisoned his father and put the blame on his brother Tyrion.
In the letter, Varys only mentioned the suspect but did not specify the reason.
