This sudden turn of events also alerted the three dragons, who were originally using Dragon Flame to burn the ghouls above The Great Wall.
They stopped their attack, quickly changed direction, and swooped down like lightning.
Their huge dragon wings stirred up a gust of wind in mid-air, almost making people lose their footing.
The three dragons were enormous, and their dragon claws were as hard and sharp as steel.
When they landed on The Great Wall, many soldiers who couldn't escape in time were instantly crushed into meat paste, a truly horrific sight.
Under the immense weight of the dragons, the city wall groaned under the strain, and some areas even began to crack, as if it could collapse at any moment.
The three dragons stood firmly on the city wall, their eyes like torches, staring intently at Rhaenys and the others who had surrounded Rayder.
They let out low roars from their throats, as if warning the other party not to act rashly.
Rayder, who was surrounded in the very center, appeared unusually calm.
The corner of his mouth curved slightly upwards, revealing a faint smile.
Looking at the three dragons who were loyally protecting their master without his command, a sense of indescribable achievement welled up in his heart.
Rayder met Rhaenys's gaze without fear, then audaciously raised an eyebrow at her, saying with full provocative intent:
"I hope you don't make me do something irrational either."
The tense situation dramatically reversed at this moment; Rayder, who was originally at a disadvantage, instantly gained the upper hand due to the appearance of the three dragons.
Rayder put away his longbow, drew the longsword from his waist, and waited for Rhaenys's decision with resolute eyes.
He was not someone who would easily compromise; even in such a tense situation, his resolve remained unshaken.
Rhaenys realized her actions just now were too impulsive, and was now racking her brain to figure out how to salvage the situation.
At this moment, the sudden situation attracted the Commander-in-Chief and Erlad, among others.
A crowd of nobles, big and small, squeezed over, but they dared not get too close due to the dragons' imposing presence.
The Commander-in-Chief and Erlad, seeing the situation they least wanted to see, quickly shouted and tried to mediate.
Rhaenys seemed to find a way out; she sheathed her sword, and her guards also stepped aside.
Seeing this, Rayder also sheathed his sword and signaled the dragons to move aside.
The Commander-in-Chief did not want to get more involved; he ordered the Nights Watch to avoid this area, as with the Others at hand, he did not want to deal with such trivial matters.
Erlad could only sigh and quickly stepped forward.
He briefly communicated with Rhaenys, and after understanding the situation, he looked at Rayder and said, "I'll exchange a special item for your help in saving people."
Rayder frowned, considering the proposal.
Anything Erlad would call a special item must be extraordinary, as Erlad was not just anyone.
However, Rayder did not want to blindly agree to the other party's request without understanding the situation, he needed to first understand what this so-called special item was.
So, Rayder directly asked, "Don't give me that nonsense. You need to clearly state what it is exactly, then I can consider whether to agree to you."
Erlad seemed to hesitate about Rayder's question; he paused for a moment,
but ultimately decided to approach Rayder and then, in a low voice that only the two of them could hear, he quietly said to Rayder:
"It's a dragon glass with special runes, and it also emits a chilling aura.
More importantly, it is said that this dragon glass is related to the Night King, which is also why our Stark Family has always believed in the existence of the Others."
Hearing Erlad's words, Rayder couldn't help but be surprised.
He had never expected such a mysterious item to exist within the Stark Family.
If this dragon glass was indeed like the dragon glass within the Night King, both being powerful magical treasures,
then helping to save people might not be out of the question, although he didn't know why the Stark Family would possess such a precious good.
It must be said that the condition Erlad offered successfully piqued Rayder's interest, and one could even say it moved him.
Even Erlad himself showed a rather pained expression, as if this condition was extremely difficult for him to accept as well.
Rayder could tell that this special item might be very important to him, but saving people was equally urgent.
After some deliberation, Rayder finally nodded in agreement.
Erlad breathed a sigh of relief and immediately ordered his subordinates to bring the special item.
Rayder, meanwhile, turned and walked towards Ghidorah, preparing to ask it for help in saving people.
The atmosphere remained tense, but at least now there was a turning point.
Rhaenys watched Rayder and the dragons disappear into the distance, her heart a mix of emotions.
This incident complicated her relationship with Rayder further, but she also understood that now was not the time to dwell on these things.
As for Rayder, he also had various doubts and anxieties in his heart.
But he knew that the most important thing now was to save people; everything else could be discussed later.
The communication between Rayder and Ghidorah was very swift and simple.
Through their mental connection, their thoughts could be transmitted instantly, without the need for lengthy verbal expression.
This method of communication was not only lightning-fast but also greatly saved time.
When Ghidorah understood Rayder's intention, it unhesitatingly soared from The Great Wall, spreading its wings and flying high.
At the same time, Aegon followed closely behind, flying towards the target together.
Thus, Rayder dispatched two of his three dragons, leaving only Im, the relatively weaker dragon, to assist the soldiers on the city wall in defending against the ghoul attacks approaching The Great Wall from the air.
The reason for this arrangement was that Im's current defensive capabilities were the weakest, making it difficult for it to withstand the fierce attacks of the Mystic Ice Spear.
If it were also sent out, it would likely be easily killed by the Night King or the Cold God throwing spears at it.
Just as Ghidorah and Aegon were rushing to provide support, Syrax had already crashed onto the snowy ground like a giant meteorite.
Its massive body instantly crushed numerous ghouls, but it was also consequently surrounded by the Army of Ghouls.
To make matters worse, Rhaenys, the dragonrider on the dragon saddle, was knocked unconscious by the violent impact, losing control of Syrax.
At this very moment, Syrax was relying entirely on its innate combat instincts to desperately sustain this fierce battle.
Its once majestic right wing had been torn open, and blood flowed continuously like a spring;
Not only that, but it also endured the Ice Dragon's astonishingly powerful tail whip, an impact so great that Syrax's body trembled violently.
And when it fell from high altitude, the immense impact further exacerbated its injuries.
