In particular, the generals of Dragonstone were very aware of Drogon's defense and speed. They thought that there was nothing that could threaten Drogon now, and they never thought that the Night King would let Drogon get hurt easily.
"Drogon is confident that he can kill the Night King. You don't have to worry too much about it. Just focus on dealing with the wights and the White Walkers."
Drogon is the source of confidence for ordinary soldiers, and he is also the source of confidence for Daenerys and other generals.
Daenerys felt it was necessary to relay Drogon's words to them. Otherwise, if they didn't have confidence in the upcoming war, how could they make their soldiers confident?
Hearing that Drogon was sure to kill the Night King, everyone present became more confident. After discussing the defense deployment, they went out to do their own things.
When he came in front of the Army of the Dead again, the Night King had turned towards Winterfell, which was also the direction Drogon had just gone.
Drogon didn't know whether the Night King wanted to continue approaching Winterfell or follow his scent.
When he arrived above the army of the dead, he found that the Night King was lost in the snow again. He was cautious and went around behind the army of the dead. When he found that the wights had turned around, he felt relieved and led the Night King away from Winterfell.
He knew that the Night King had not given up on killing him, otherwise he would not have kept following him.
Sure enough, after following Drogon for a while, the Night King tried to attack Drogon again with the spear-shaped ornament, but Drogon discovered the blue light in the wind and snow in advance and dodged the ice spear in time.
After following for a long time, the Night King realized that he could not kill Drogon, so he turned to Winterfell. I don't know if he was attracted by the large number of living people there.
Drogon had to risk approaching the wights at the edge of the legion and continue burning and killing them to slow down the Night King's march.
The Night King was naturally unwilling to see his minions slaughtered, so he gave Drogon two more ice spears, but only one of them posed a certain threat to Drogon.
The Night King was harassed like this for half a day. Drogon estimated the arrival time of the infantry and slowed down the frequency of harassment, allowing the Death Army to move around and stop.
A day later, Drogon returned to Winterfell and learned that the infantry would arrive in another day, so he returned to the Army of the Dead to play hide-and-seek with the Night King.
Another day passed, and the infantry arrived. Drogon delayed the Night King for half a day, giving the infantry some time to rest before returning to Winterfell.
As night fell, two trenches had been dug outside Winterfell, and wooden spike fences had been laid on top, which was equivalent to setting up two lines of defense outside Winterfell.
In the distance, the army of death was approaching step by step with the wind and snow. The cavalry troops were lined up in front of the trenches, ready to charge at any time.
On the city wall, Daenerys and Jon looked at the approaching army of the dead with serious expressions, secretly calculating the distance.
In front of the cavalry, Melisandre held a Dothraki scimitar in her hand and muttered something. The scimitar became redder as she chanted. After two spells, flames rose from the scimitar and covered the entire blade.
It wasn't just the scimitar that was on fire, but the flames started from Melisandre and spread far away until all the cavalry's weapons were covered in flames.
"Get the catapults ready!" Seeing that the distance was about right, Jon shouted and gave the order from the city wall.
"emission!"
At a command, the huge rock covered with kerosene was ignited and thrown towards the group of zombies in the distance.
After the boulder smashed several zombies, it set the rest on fire, and countless flames immediately burned in the army of death.
Seeing the attack launched from the opposite side, the Night King also ordered the wights to rush towards Winterfell. But before they had gone far, they were met with thousands of dragon crystal arrows.
The corpse that was shot immediately turned into countless pieces.
After a few minutes, the rain of arrows stopped, and the Dothraki Khaljak roared and led the cavalry to charge towards the running wights.
Drogon, who was watching the battle from above the city wall, estimated that the time was right, so he flew high into the sky and rushed towards the Night King behind the wights.
Seeing Drogon rushing away, Daenerys came to Rhaegal, who had been waiting on the city wall, and rode on the dragon's back.
The Night King had already seen Drogon above Winterfell. Seeing him flying towards him, he took the ice spear from the White Walker beside him, took off the spear-shaped ornament from his neck, and then his whole body was filled with blue light. He raised the ice spear and threw it out.
Seeing the familiar blue light in the wind and snow, Drogon slowed down his dive and dodged the ice spear flying towards him at high speed.
After dodging the ice spear, Drogon continued to charge towards the Night King.
After dodging another ice spear, Drogon could already see the Night King with several White Walkers.
The two ice spears shot into the air, but the Night King did not give up. He grabbed the ice spear handed to him by his White Walker and threw it at Drogon again.
Seeing the ice spear approaching, Drogon knew he could not avoid it, so he immediately transformed, turned to the right and dived down again.
Seeing Drogon's change, the Night King frowned slightly. Just as he was about to get the ice spear again, Drogon flew in front of him.
After activating the transformation again and turning into an adult form, Drogon grabbed the White Walker who was about to hand the ice spear to the Night King with one claw, crushed the ice spear and flattened the man, then sprayed a breath of dragon flame at him.
The White Walkers behind the Night King were immediately burned into pieces when they encountered the dragon flames, but the Night King was still standing there seemingly unharmed.
His own dragon flame could not burn him to death. One breath of dragon flame was almost ineffective. Drogon raised his head and roared in the direction of Winterfell, then stretched out his claws towards the Night King.
On Winterfell, hearing Drogon's roar, Daenerys patted Rhaegal on the back and flew towards the army of the dead with Viserion.
Flying above the wights, Rhaegal and Viserion, one after the other, spewed out dragon flames at the dense group of wights running towards the cavalry.
The cavalry who rushed into the group of zombies suddenly felt the pressure greatly reduced. They rushed back and forth to kill the isolated zombies, chopping down the zombies with their flaming blades and setting them on fire at the same time.
After clearing out the surrounding wights, the cavalry launched another charge, killing the group of wights. Daenerys once again cooperated with the cavalry to use dragon flames to isolate the swarming wights and reduce the damage to the cavalry.
After two rounds of charge, the cavalry returned to the trenches when they were almost exhausted.
The zombies that escaped the dragon's flames began to rush towards the trench.
After catching the Night King in his claws, Drogon realized that the dragon fire had done some harm to him, just not much.
His straight armor, covered with frost, was curled and blackened in many places. His originally sculptural face looked like a melted wax figure with its edges and corners smoothed out, and his eyes were no longer as blue as before.
Being caught by Drogon, the Night King suddenly let out a wolf-like howl and reached out to pull out the ice sword behind him.
Of course Drogon would not let him take the weapon. He pinched his body with his right claw to block his outstretched right hand, and with his left claw he pulled the ice sword from behind him and threw it to the ground. Then he took off the spear-shaped ornament from his neck.
Drogon wanted to break the Night King's body in half, but he was so strong that his claws could only bend his body.
Just as Drogon was about to give him another breath of dragon flame, he suddenly felt an itch on his body. He turned around and saw that the wights that were originally attacking Winterfell suddenly turned around and ran towards him, and several of them had already climbed onto his back.
Drogon was well aware of the ant biting the elephant to death, so he shook his body violently, knocking the wight off, and flew away with his wings.
