Chapter 127: Injured

Moving shooting and dodging are another kind of training for the Unsullied and Viserion, and it is also a more difficult training.

With Daenerys watching from the side, the three Unsullied were even a little nervous, afraid that if they shot too far, their queen would not be happy.

With Drogon's speed and reaction ability that is almost reaching the speed of sound in its extreme state, it can predict the direction of the crossbow arrow and Viserion's evasive action in advance, and decide whether to block the arrow for Viserion. This training effect can be said to be both safe and practical.

It will also allow Viserion and others to adapt to the ballista attack method more quickly, preventing them from being caught off guard by similar attacks in the future.

Daenerys gradually felt relieved after seeing Viserion dodge several crossbow attacks in a row.

At the same time, he secretly thanked Drogon in his heart. If he hadn't trained Viserion and the others since birth, how could Viserion be able to dodge the crossbow that was specially used to deal with dragons?

Seeing Viserion receiving training, Rhaegal's initial worry turned into eagerness to try, especially after seeing Daenerys applauding Viserion, he could not help himself and wanted to try the feeling of dodging crossbow arrows immediately.

Drogon already knew about Rhaego's impatience, so he asked Viserion to train a few more times before replacing him with Rhaego. As soon as Rhaego arrived above the ballista, he became very excited and looked at the ballista on the ground impatiently.

This is a little female dragon who loves to show off, Drogon thought secretly as he looked at the excited Rhaegal.

However, although Rhaegal was a mother dragon, her performance was no worse than Viserion. Daenerys was very satisfied watching from below and applauded Rhaegal's performance again.

There was no rush to go back, so she just stood there with Drogon and the others, watching Rhaegal fly up and down, nimbly dodging the crossbow attacks.

When Rhaegal gradually adapted to the ballista attack, Drogon let Rhaegal take a rest and replaced him with Viserion.

Viserion was excited to play the dodge game again, but he didn't know that Daenerys, who had been looking at them in a relaxed manner, became nervous again.

Viserion dodged the crossbow arrows easily and was about to circle to meet the next one when he suddenly saw another familiar black dot approaching him quickly out of the corner of his eye.

He didn't have time to think, he leaned back and a huge crossbow arrow flew past the scales on his neck.

Viserion: "???"

He looked down carefully and saw that the Unsullied of another crossbow that had been idle next to the original crossbow was placing new crossbow arrows onto the slide.

He suddenly remembered why Drogon flew back to the crossbow before it was his turn to come on the field, gestured a few times with the Unsullied operating the crossbow, and then flew back again. It turned out that he wanted the two crossbows to attack him at the same time.

Thinking of this, Viserion secretly complained about Drogon and immediately became alert, staring at the two crossbows below with wide eyes.

Soon a newly loaded crossbow arrow shot towards him again. He aimed at the direction and dodged it, then another crossbow arrow shot towards his abdomen.

Viserion flapped his wings sharply and narrowly missed the crossbow arrow.

After dodging and adjusting his dragon's body, the crossbow arrow flew again. The frequency of the two crossbows was getting faster and faster. Viserion dodged left and right but still couldn't avoid it completely.

"Ah!" A scream came from his mouth. The huge crossbow arrow scratched a groove on his back. It was not too deep but it was very painful.

"Viserion!" Daenerys called out worriedly when she heard his scream.

Daenerys clenched her fists nervously from the moment the double crossbows began firing continuously.

She knew that Drogon had strong defense and was fast, but the ballista was also fast. She was afraid that Drogon would not be able to rescue Viserion in time if he was in danger.

Sure enough, Viserion was unable to dodge the continuous shooting from two crossbows and was hit.

After Viserion was shot, the Unsullied stopped installing the crossbow. Not only Daenerys was nervous, but even the Unsullied's thick nerves could not bear the continuous attacks just now.

They were afraid that Viserion would not be able to dodge in time and would be shot or killed by them.

"hiss!"

As soon as they stopped, they heard Drogon's slightly angry roar from high in the sky.

Viserion was also in the air with no intention of landing, and the Unsullied looked at Daenerys.

They guessed that Drogon was blaming them for stopping, but they had already shot Viserion, so how could they dare to shoot again? They could only look to Daenerys for help.

Looking at Drogon and Viserion still hovering in the sky, Daenerys realized that Viserion was injured not because Drogon didn't have time to rescue him, but because he might not have intended to rescue him.

Perhaps he thought the injury wasn't serious enough for Viserion, and that he could even continue training.

Daenerys also knew that Drogon trained Viserion so strictly so that he could avoid injury or even death when facing crossbow fire in the future.

Thinking about the fact that Drogon faced more ballistas than the two on the ground when he burned Ghis, Viserion and his companions might encounter similar situations in the future.

Daenerys could only grit her teeth and nodded to the Unsullied. The Unsullied was about to load arrows, but Daenerys became a little worried and instructed, "Lengthen the interval between shots."

After all, Viserion was already injured and his movements were not as agile as before. If he continued to shoot at the same frequency as before, he would probably be more seriously injured.

With Daenerys' approval, the Unsullied continued to load arrows and shoot. Of course, Drogon in the sky also noticed that the shooting frequency had slowed down.

However, he did not fly down to correct it, because he knew that it must be the Mother of Dragons who asked the Unsullied to do so.

The reason why we didn't rescue Viserion just now, including letting him train with injuries now, was of course to let him fully experience the feeling of actual combat.

It is inevitable that they will be injured when they actually participate in the battle, and it is impossible for them to leave the battlefield just because of injuries.

Having been trained by Drogon since birth, Viserion has almost figured out Drogon's training method, which is that it will not make them feel comfortable.

The joyful dodge just now was followed by the repeated shooting from two crossbows, which made him exhausted and further confirmed this point. Viserion could only endure the pain and continue to dodge carefully.

However, no matter how careful he was, his energy and concentration were declining over time, and he was injured. After narrowly dodging twice, he was still somewhat powerless when facing the crossbow arrows shot at his wings.

Just as he was about to be shot, Drogon flew over like lightning, standing between the crossbow arrow and Viserion, and grabbed the flying crossbow arrow with his four claws.

However, the huge impact force of the crossbow arrow pushed his young body against Viserion before it stopped.

Although the strength and defense of the larvae are two-thirds of those of the adults, and its density is not small, it is still a larvae after all, and the impact force still has a great impact on it.

Seeing Drogon blocking the attack for Viserion, Daenerys finally let go of her worries and ordered the Unsullied soldiers to stop training.

Seeing that the Unsullied stopped attacking, Drogon knew that Viserion was almost at his limit, so he let him land to rest and replaced him with the little female dragon Rhaegal.
