Most of the residents of New Ghis migrated from Old Ghis and are located on a small island. Merchant ships traveling between the nine free trade cities and Qarth often stop there for supplies.
Drogon left Meereen and flew over the land for less than an hour before he saw the somewhat dilapidated walls of Old Ghis.
Its height and solidity were far inferior to any wall in the Slaver's Bay. Drogon really couldn't understand how they had the confidence to resist the Dragon Queen's army and his three dragons.
As Drogon approached the old city of Ghis, he was spotted by guards on the city wall, shouting for his companions and leader.
Ever since old Ghis refused Daenerys's request for surrender, they have strengthened the defense of the city walls. They didn't expect that the dragons would arrive before they saw the army.
Flying above the city wall, Drogon directly spewed out dark red dragon flames, and the soldiers who shot arrows and threw spears at him were quickly burned to ashes. Drogon had no pity for them at all.
The Banshee's Sons assassinate Unsullied and recruits in the arena, slaughtering the arena spectators without mercy.
Drogon kept spewing black flames along the city walls, leaving scorched earth wherever he passed. The city walls, which were not very strong to begin with, were burned by the black flames, and it was hard to say whether they could continue to be used.
The soldiers on the city wall found that all the arrows and spears shot at Drogon were bounced off by the scales. They dared not attack anymore and ran away. If they didn't run, they would die.
Drogon burned down a section of the city wall and burned down a city gate tower. Just as he was about to continue burning, he suddenly found a huge arrow shooting towards him. Was it a
crossbow?
Drogon didn't expect that there were ballistae in the old city of Ghis. No wonder they dared to provoke and attack the Mother of Dragons repeatedly. It turned out that their confidence came from this.
Although the crossbow arrows were incredibly fast, that was only for ordinary people. In Drogon's eyes, they were not that fast, not even as fast as the speed he had used to sneak attack Rhaegal and Viserion before.
He easily dodged the arrow shot at him, observed its flight trajectory, and then flew in the direction of the arrow.
The soldier operating the crossbow panicked when he found that the giant arrow was dodged by Drogon, and hurriedly loaded arrows again and shot at Drogon.
This time Drogon did not dodge. He was not sure how strong his defense would be after his transformation, so he could just test it with the crossbow.
Aiming at the direction from which the arrow was coming, he slightly turned sideways and blocked the arrow with his back.
Ding!
The powerful arrow hit Drogon, made a crisp sound, and fell down.
Without breaking through the scale defense, Drogon's body didn't even shake.
The soldiers were about to cheer when they saw the spear hit Drogon, but then they discovered that the spear fell down after hitting Drogon. They didn't know what happened for a moment and thought that the spear was not powerful enough and did not pierce Drogon's body, so they re-installed the arrow and shot again.
Of course, Drogon could have burned the ballista before they reinstalled the arrows, but he didn't do that. How could he miss such a good testing opportunity?
It flew forward for a distance, approached the crossbow at close range, moved its body in the air, and used its abdomen to meet the flying giant arrow.
There was another ding sound, and the giant arrow only caused Drogon's flying body to pause slightly, and then fell again.
The soldiers in charge of operating the crossbow were completely dumbfounded. Even a direct shot at such a close distance failed to penetrate Drogon's body. Only then did they realize how powerful the defensive power of Drogon's scales was.
After knowing the specific power of the crossbow, Drogon stopped testing, first burned to death the soldiers operating the crossbow, then observed the crossbow closely and found that all parts of the crossbow were very worn out.
I don't know if it is made up of ballista parts left over from the Ghis Empire's fight against the Valyrian dragons.
He was afraid that Ghis had newly developed the ballista, which would become their regular weapon and be mass-produced, which would be a huge threat to Rhaegal and Viserion.
After confirming the situation of the crossbow, Drogon burned it with a breath of dragon flame.
Then he circled the small city wall, burned several crossbows, and collapsed two city gate towers before flying into the city of Old Ghis.
The city was already in chaos at this time. Looking at the fires burning on the surrounding walls and Drogon's huge figure, the residents thought that Daenerys led her army to Old Ghis.
They knew that their lives would not be easy after the city was captured, so they were busy packing their things and fleeing.
Like the Three Cities of Slave Bay, Gies also likes to build pyramids. It should be said that the Three Cities of Slave Bay learned from Gies and built pyramids.
Drogon passed through the panicked crowd and came to the tallest and largest pyramid, and breathed a breath of dragon flame at the top of the pyramid.
He was not so ruthless as to burn down the pyramid and the people inside it. He only burned the top to let the people inside out. Otherwise, it would not be his fault if they were burned to death inside.
The meaning of Daenerys's asking the two cities of Ghis to surrender was not to ask them to surrender or offer their cities, but to ask them to regard themselves as Daenerys' subjects, become Daenerys's affiliated cities, and offer money and property.
Daenerys was already overwhelmed by the Slaver's Bay alone, so she had no intention of conquering the two more cities of Ghis.
Let the city walls and pyramids burn. He won't feel bad if they are not his. Drogon will not be polite to old Ghis.
If he didn't burn more things, the nobles of Old Ghis wouldn't know how powerful Drogon was. This was the consequence of thinking that he didn't take dragons seriously just because he had a few ballistae!
Standing on the top of the pyramid, after most of the people inside had escaped, Drogon circled the largest pyramid in Old Ghis and showered it with black dragon flames from top to bottom.
The entire pyramid burned violently as if it were poured with kerosene, and all the residents of Old Ghis saw the pyramid in the city burning violently like a torch.
We also saw a huge black figure bathed in flames on top of the pyramid.
"Ah!!!"
Looking at the residents and nobles of Old Ghis who were looking at him from afar, Drogon let out a terrifying dragon roar that echoed throughout Old Ghis.
It not only contains his dragon power, but also a hint of divine power revealed by the mellow divine light.
Hearing Drogon's roar filled with anger and warning, as well as the fear-inducing divine power contained in it, the timid people were even frightened to their knees.
After warning the nobles of Old Ghis, Drogon flew to the city of New Ghis on the island of Harn opposite Old Ghis.
According to the analysis of Dragon Mother and others, most of the Banshee's sons who launched the attack should come from the city of New Ghis.
The soldiers of the New Ghis were far more skilled in combat and better equipped than those of the Old Ghis, but these made little difference to Drogon.
He flew to New Ghis and repeated the same trick, only expending a few more breaths of dragon flame, burning to death more stubbornly resisting soldiers and burning down more solid city walls.
He burned another tall pyramid, leaving behind a pile of black ash and chaos, and then walked away.
Back in Meereen, Daenerys has begun deploying troops for the attack on New and Old Ghis, leaving enough soldiers to guard the three cities.
