Chapter 131 Miscalculation
Daenerys, who had already calmed down, almost had a violent emotional upheaval again after hearing Drogon's words.
She thought Drogon knew everything and might have a way to deal with the Dragon Horn, but she didn't expect that this was also the first time he had heard of it.
The Dragon Horn was something Daenerys learned from her brother Viserys; it was a tool used by the Dragon Family to control dragons.
According to Viserys, the Dragon Horn disappeared along with the dragon more than a hundred years ago and has never been seen again.
Today, she heard about the Dragon Horn from Euron again, and judging from Euron's confident demeanor, he might possess the Dragon Horn or know about it.
"It seems you know, no wonder you have Targaryen dragon blood." Euron guessed it from Daenerys's expression.
Hearing the conversation between the two, Daenerys' ministers exchanged bewildered glances, except for Shireen, whose expression turned somewhat grim.
Although Tyrion and the others did not know exactly what the Dragon Horn was, they understood that it must be related to dragons, and judging from Daenerys's expression after hearing it, it was not a good thing for the queen.
[Whatever the horn, it can't do anything to me!] Feeling Daenerys's worry, Drogon nuzzled her cheek, comforting her in his heart.
Drogon speculated that the Dragon Horn was nothing more than a snake flute, capable of controlling dragons to a certain extent.
After his transformation, he was no longer an ordinary dragon, and he believed that the Dragon Horn, which worked on ordinary dragons, might not be able to control him.
Even if it affects him, he is confident that he can destroy the Dragon Horn when it appears.
Daenerys, who was unsure how to answer Euron's question, regained her composure upon hearing Drogon's words.
Not only has Drogon's appearance changed drastically, but he has also evolved to have four legs, and she doesn't quite believe that the Dragon Horn can control Drogon.
She was startled when Euron suddenly mentioned the Dragon Horn, and now that she thinks about it, she really shouldn't have done that.
"The Dragon Horn disappeared with the dragons over a hundred years ago. How did you learn of it?" Daenerys asked casually after calming down.
Watching Daenerys's expression quickly change from worry to calm.
Euron had to admire how quickly Daenerys's mindset had changed, but he didn't know that Daenerys was no longer really worried about the Dragon Horn that Euron had mentioned.
"The Queen should know about the ruins of Valyria, known as the land of demons. I once ventured there and returned safely, and it was there that I found the Dragon Horn."
Daenerys never expected Euron to return from his adventure in the Devil's Sea, a place even the best sailors dared not venture into lightly.
Almost no one who goes in ever comes out alive, but Euron is an exception; he even found the long-lost Dragon Horn inside.
"You are incredibly lucky!" Daenerys exclaimed.
Euron was surprised that Daenerys could remain so calm after knowing for certain that she had obtained the Horn of the Dragon, and couldn't help but ask, "Doesn't the Queen intend to change her previous decision? That would be beneficial to both of us."
"I'm sorry, I have no intention of marrying anyone," Daenerys reiterated her earlier decision.
"It seems you don't believe what I'm saying!" Not getting the answer he wanted, Euron's expression changed instantly, and he said with a fierce look.
Daenerys stared at Euron, whose expression had changed, without showing any fear.
Euron was surprised that Queen Daenerys was so unyielding, and threatened, "Do you really think you can fight against my five hundred warships with two immature dragons and a young dragon?"
Hearing her uncle Euron's threats against Daenerys, Yara almost burst out laughing. She had never seen Euron threaten anyone like this before; he usually acted directly. She never expected him to change his approach today when facing Daenerys.
What amused her even more was that Euron, just like she had initially, only knew that Queen Daenerys had three dragons, but didn't know the specifics of those dragons.
After Euron finished asking his question, he saw that his niece Yara and Daenerys and the others did not take his threat seriously at all, and he even seemed to see mockery in their eyes.
Having spent many years adventuring at sea, every person and city that knew he was passing by secretly prayed that they would not cause them any trouble.
When have we ever negotiated so peacefully as we did today? Not only did we fail to achieve our goal, but we were also inexplicably ridiculed.
"If you refuse to leave, feel free to attack. I'm afraid you'll not only give me five hundred warships, but you might also lose your life!"
Now that Euron has gone this far, Daenerys, as the queen, will certainly not back down.
"You're very good!" Euron glared at Daenerys, gritted his teeth, turned around and ordered the crew to set sail and return to the fleet.
"All cities on high alert!" Now that she had decided to go to war, Daenerys no longer hesitated.
Although Euron had 50,000 troops, and Daenerys's forces were mostly new recruits, she was not afraid. With Drogon and Rhaegal, they were equivalent to tens of thousands of troops. As for the Dragon Horn, she could only trust Drogon.
Jorah and the others never expected that they would have to fight a tough battle against 50,000 men before even reaching Westeros.
However, since they have come knocking on our door, we have no choice but to drive them back. If we are afraid now, how can we cross the Narrow Sea and fight for the Iron Throne for Daenerys?
Squads of Unsullied and soldiers frequently crossed the streets of Meereen to set up defenses on the city walls.
The city's residents all knew that hundreds of warships had arrived at sea, but the chaos they had imagined did not occur, which puzzled even the Unsullied officers who had been specially dispatched to maintain order in the city.
Later, I overheard the residents talking and realized it was all because of Zhuo Geng.
Drogon's enormous and stunning figure during the arena attack left a deep impression on the spectators, and the terrifying destructive power of Drogon that day gradually spread.
The residents of Meereen never expected that the little black dragon who always liked to stay on the queen's shoulder would be so powerful. Not only did it transform into a four-legged dragon, but it also killed all the banshee's children who participated in the attack in a short time, leaving a large hole in almost every one of them.
The reason for Gith's submission was spread by well-informed people after the arrival of the envoys, and people learned that Drogon could withstand the huge crossbow bolts.
Today, after learning that tens of thousands of troops were about to attack the city, they were not too worried. With the Queen's black dragon Drogon there, they did not believe that anyone could conquer Meereen.
Even if there are hundreds of large ships and tens of thousands of soldiers on the sea, at worst the black dragon will fly for a while longer, burn the ships and kill the soldiers. They are not worried at all.
When the Unsullied officers reported the order in Meereen, even Daenerys was surprised that there was no chaos in the city.
After learning the reason, Daenerys and the others never expected that Drogon would unknowingly become a guardian deity of Meereen.
Everything was in order in Meereen. Daenerys no longer worried about problems at home and focused her energy on defending the city.
