Chapter 133 Overestimating One's Abilities
Just as Zhuo Geng was about to fly over and grab You Lun, he suddenly saw that You Lun not only did not run away, but instead sat down next to the catapult.
He tilted his head slightly back, gazing at the sky, his right eye slightly squinted, and his left eye rolled back, revealing all the whites of his eyes.
"An alien!" Looking at the familiar whites of the eyes, Zhuo Geng never expected that You Lun was actually an alien.
Just as he thought of this, he felt a buzzing in his head, and his thoughts seemed to freeze for a moment. He shook his head violently twice before he came back to his senses.
"You're practically asking for death!" Seeing Euron trembling beside the catapult in the distance, Drogon immediately sensed something was wrong. This alien Euron was actually trying to control him.
roar!
Zhuo Geng roared, and a mental wave surged forth from the faint thoughts in his mind...
ah...
Euron let out a painful scream and was about to cover his eyes when, with a "poof!" sound, his red eyeballs exploded, spraying all over his face. Euron opened his mouth and fell straight to the ground.
Slowly flying over Euron, looking at his dark left eye socket, his face covered in rotten flesh, and his chest that had stopped heaving, Zhuo Geng didn't expect that his mental attack would be so powerful that it would directly blow off Euron's eyeball.
Overestimating your abilities!
When Euron tried to control him with his alien powers, Drogon could only offer him four words.
Seeing Euron lying on the deck in the distance, and the surrounding warships ceasing their siege, Drogon, too lazy to burn them any longer, grabbed the Dragon Horn and flew back to the city tower.
Seeing that Drogon had brought back the Dragon Horn unharmed, Daenerys was relieved. Rhaegal and Viserion were also slowly recovering from the effects of the horn, lying on the ground too lazy to move.
Zhuo Geng hadn't expected the Dragon's Horn to have such a big impact on Rego and the others; they had only listened for a short while and were still not fully recovered.
In Drogon's view, the Dragon Horn was somewhat like a headband, bringing pain to make dragons submit, but it could not directly control them.
"Drogon, where's Euron? Why isn't his fleet attacking?"
Remembering Euron's miserable state, Zhuo Geng shook his head.
"Euron is dead?" Daenerys asked in surprise as Drogon shook his head.
Consumed by his own powerful blow, and considering his previous state, Zhuo Geng nodded again, while simultaneously wondering if he should have retrieved You Lun's corpse as well.
Having received Drogon's affirmative reply, Daenerys looked at the sea again and saw that a row of large ships near the city walls had turned around, and the entire fleet's formation was completely disrupted.
Daenerys immediately ordered the iron gates of the city below, where the Skazadan River flows into the Summer Sea, to be opened. She then ordered Yara, who was waiting, to lead the fleet in pursuit, while simultaneously sending an attack signal to Daario, who was far away from Euron on the sea.
Only when her own fleet began a full-scale attack did Daenerys have time to see the Dragon Horn that Drogon brought back.
Looking at the smooth, exquisite dragon horn, Daenerys knew it was what caused Rhaegal and Viserion so much pain and that they were trying to control them.
bass!
She drew Jorah's longsword from beside her and slashed at the mouth of the Dragon Horn. It didn't break on the first strike, so she swung it twice more before finally severing the mouth.
Drogon: […]
He had planned to study and play with such a beautiful horn, but unexpectedly, Daenerys Targaryen chopped it down.
Jorah was also startled by Daenerys's sudden action. He did not stop her when he sensed that she was about to draw his sword, but he did not expect that she would actually cut the Dragon Horn.
"I hope it's the last dragon horn in the world!" Daenerys gasped for breath as she sheathed her longsword in Jorah Mormont's scabbard, saying with a sense of relief.
Although it was a pity to see the Dragon Horn with its mouthpiece cut off, everyone knew that it could not be preserved intact. Otherwise, if it fell into the wrong hands, it would become a weapon to counter Queen Daenerys.
After Meereen launched the pursuit, Drogon slapped Rhaegal and Viserion off the ground. How could he let such a good opportunity for real combat slip by? He sent them flying to assist Dario in his attack.
Although Erxiao was somewhat weak, he dared not disobey Zhuogeng's orders and weakly flapped his wings and flew away.
Not long after they flew off, Drogon, now shrunken, followed far behind, observing the entire fleet from high above.
He hadn't flown two circles when he noticed something: several people on the two warships were turning huge ballistae, aiming at Rego and Viserion.
Euron did indeed find the giant crossbows, which explains why he led his fleet directly to Meereen; he must be determined to get Daenerys Targaryen.
With his giant crossbow, dragon horn, and that eerie raven eye, ordinary dragons really couldn't handle his abilities.
Although Drogon didn't know if Euron could truly control the dragons with his Raven Eyes, judging from the strength of his invasion of his consciousness just now, even if he couldn't completely control Rhaegal and the others, he could still have a temporary impact.
With these three powerful tools to deal with dragons, Daenerys would have been unable to withstand Euron's siege without her evolved dragon form.
The giant crossbow on the warship was spinning, but the two dragons remained oblivious, weakly spewing fire.
Zhuo Geng watched them from afar, offering no words of advice, quietly observing how they would respond.
The dejected Viserion burned the soldiers on a ship and was about to fly to his next target when he suddenly felt the scales on his body stand up, a warning sign.
He turned his head and saw a familiar black dot flying rapidly toward him. He only had time to flap his wings twice before a huge crossbow bolt whistled past the scales on his chest, giving him goosebumps.
Having narrowly escaped being hit, Viserion dared not be careless again. He focused intently on observing the warships below and quickly spotted the ship that had shot at him with the giant crossbow. He then swooped down and flew towards it.
They dared to ambush him with a giant crossbow, so of course he wouldn't let them get away with it. This wasn't like when he was being trained by his boss, where he couldn't fight back and could only take a beating.
Moreover, there's no one to protect me now. If I hadn't dodged it just now, I would have really been hit by a crossbow bolt, and I might not even be able to save my life.
Seeing Viserion rushing towards them, the soldiers on the warship hurriedly loaded arrows and fired another arrow at Viserion.
He hadn't been hit by the crossbow bolts when he was ambushed earlier, so it was even less likely now. Viserion simply sidestepped the bolts and rushed to the top of the ballista.
In a fit of rage, he disregarded Zhuo Geng's order to burn only the people and not the ship, and with two bursts of dragon flame, burned the ship and its crew to ashes.
After venting his anger, he carefully observed whether there were any ballistae on the surrounding ships before flying towards his next target.
At the same time that Viserion was attacked by crossbow bolts, Rego was also ambushed by an arrow. He failed to dodge in time and the arrow grazed his wing.
Watching the two boys perform from high above, Zhuo Geng was basically satisfied. After all, this was a battle in which they had just been affected by the Dragon's Horn, so it was normal for their reactions to be a little slow. It also served as a lesson for them.
Drogon was leisurely observing the entire battlefield, unaware that the two crossbow bolts had terrified Daenerys, who was watching the battle from the city wall.
She thought it was already quite rare for Gis to have ballistae, but she never expected Euron to have set up ballistae on the ship and almost succeed in a sneak attack.
