Chapter 183: Cersei in Despair

The huge crossbow arrows shot at his body fell to the ground with a ding-dong sound. Occasionally, one or two stuck between the scales would be shaken off by his shaking body.

The crossbows burned all the way to the city gate, and the entire city wall was shortened significantly.

Ignoring the crossbow arrows that were still shooting at him, Drogon hovered in front of the East Gate and continued to breathe dragon flames at the gate.

The city gate was burned out in an instant, and within a few seconds the entire city wall began to collapse.

After burning down the city tower, Drogon flew to the other side of the city gate, where many crossbow arrows were shot at him.

"The rumors are true. The black dragon can really burn down a city with its crossbows." He watched Drogon attack with the scorpion crossbow without even dodging.

All the crossbow arrows that shot at him were knocked off. Cersei stared blankly at the collapsed city wall and Drogon who was still spewing fire, muttering to herself.

Even the scorpion crossbow newly developed by Coben, which can penetrate deep into the city walls, cannot penetrate the black dragon's hard scales.

Cersei thought she would see a black dragon being killed by a scorpion crossbow, but what she saw was him resisting the crossbow arrows and burning down the city walls.

Looking at the soldiers on the city wall still firing crossbows at him, drogon didn't expect that they would keep shooting even though they knew they couldn't hurt him.

He was about to fly over to teach them a lesson when he saw a one-eyed man turning away from the scorpion crossbow and walking down the city wall.

Euron!

Drogon recognized his identity.

No wonder several crossbow arrows flew straight towards my face just now. It turns out that Euron is here.

After flying into the city wall, as soon as Euron got off the wall, Drogon blocked his way.

Seeing the huge figure blocking his way, Euron was not too afraid. He even observed Drogon attentively and found that he was much bigger than when he was in Meereen.

He only felt sorry that he had gone through so much trouble to obtain the Dragon Horn, but had not been able to tame a dragon.

Looking at Euron who still had a hint of greed in his eyes when he was about to die, Drogon couldn't help but admire his madness and boldness.

I sensed Euron's aura, but for some reason the aura of the old god was gone. I didn't know if it was because the Crow's Eye was exploded by me.

This time, Drogon would certainly not let this cunning and ambitious sea overlord go. He opened his mouth wide and gave him a breath of dragon fire. Burning Euron to death was also a disguised form of revenge for Rhaegal.

Flying back over the city wall, the soldiers who had been operating the scorpion crossbow saw Euron escape and be burned to death by Drogon, so they no longer dared to stay near the scorpion crossbow and abandoned it and fled.

Instead of chasing the fleeing soldiers, Drogon turned his head and looked in the direction of the Red Keep. He had already felt that someone was watching him from there.

With a flap of his wings, drogon flew over quickly.

"Queen, the black dragon seems to have discovered you." Seeing Drogon flying quickly towards the Red Castle, Qyburn, who replaced Grand Maester Pycelle, said to Cersei who was still in a daze.

After hearing what Qyburn said, Cersei rolled her eyes and looked up at Drogon who was getting closer and closer.

Looking at Cersei who was standing in front of the window with her chest heaving, Drogon did not see much fear in her eyes, but instead saw resentment and anger.

Under the huge shadow of Drogon, Kevan and a large number of men were looking up at Drogon who was looking at Cersei.

He thought Daenerys was going to attack King's Landing after seeing that Cersei was unwilling to send troops to the North, but he didn't expect that there was only a black dragon attacking King's Landing, not even a single soldier.

After seeing with his own eyes how Drogon burned down the city walls and gates without being hurt by the huge crossbow arrows, he realized that the rumors about the new and old Ghis were true, and that the black dragon really had the ability to capture a city.

And his purpose of coming alone seemed to be very simple, which was to threaten King's Landing to send troops to the north.

But the thought of a dragon coming up to Cersei and threatening her directly seemed a little strange to Kevan.

Drogon knew that Cersei was unwilling, but it was useless in the face of absolute power.

He just wanted to make Cersei understand that the scorpion crossbow she relied on was nothing in front of him.

To make Cersei understand what he meant, Drogon glanced at Kevan and the soldiers below, flew back to the city wall, grabbed three scorpion crossbows and a bundle of crossbow arrows, and flew towards Dragonstone.

"Queen Mother!"

Seeing Drogon's huge figure gradually disappearing and Cersei still staring blankly at the distant sky, Qyburn shouted again with concern.

Cersei closed her eyes slightly and opened them again, turned around and tried to move her legs to sit back on the chair, but she seemed to have lost all strength and could not lift her legs.

Cersei's abnormality was quickly noticed by Qyburn, who hurried over to support her.

Seeing Cersei's despairing eyes, Qyburn could do nothing. No one would feel good to see the black dragon resisting the scorpion crossbow and burning down the city walls, not to mention that Cersei had placed high hopes on the scorpion crossbow.

......

On Dragonstone, Drogon had been away for more than two hours. After being away for a while, everyone returned to the Table Hall, waiting for news from Drogon.

"Drogon is back!" Daario was the first to see the huge figure in the distance.

Daenerys also saw Drogon, and found that he had not become smaller as he approached Dragonstone, so she walked out of the Table Hall, and a group of ministers followed her out of the room.

Above the castle square, Drogon threw three scorpion crossbows and a bundle of crossbow arrows to the ground like throwing a few toys.

Rhaegal and Viserion, who were circling over Dragonstone, had already spotted Drogon and followed him down to the square.

Looking at the three scorpion crossbows, the two dragons knew that these were the new crossbow carts used for training, and they began to fiddle with them curiously.

The simultaneous landing of three dragons instantly made the castle square, which was already small, crowded.

As soon as Drogon landed, Daenerys ran over and surrounded him to check if he was injured. She also knew that the newly developed scorpion crossbow in King's Landing was much more lethal than Giss's crossbow.

After taking a look around, he was relieved to see that Drogon hadn't lost even a few scales.

Tyrion and the others who came down with Daenerys saw the scorpion crossbow that Drogon brought back and the smell of fire on his body, and immediately confirmed their thoughts.

Drogon did indeed charge towards King's Landing alone. They were not sure what specific damage he caused to King's Landing. No man or bird could catch up with Drogon's speed.

Even though Jorah had sent people to King's Landing, it would take another day for his people to return.

All they can do now is wait and see what King's Landing's attitude is towards sending troops to the North.

More than two hours later, Jorah walked into the drawing room holding a letter sent by raven from King's Landing.

After reading the contents of the letter, Daenerys frowned slightly and handed the letter to others for reading.

In the letter, Cersei did not fully agree to Dragonstone's request to mobilize two-thirds of the troops, but was only willing to send half, 40,000 people, plus more than 10,000 people from Ramsay who occupied Winterfell, a total of 55,000 people.

Cersei also made a request that the King's Landing army be led by Jaime, which was equivalent to asking Daenerys to release Jaime in disguise.

After reading the letter from King's Landing, the ministers, including Tyrion, turned their attention to Daenerys, waiting for her final decision.

Daenerys originally thought that Cersei would fully agree to her demands after King's Landing was attacked by Drogon, but she didn't expect that not only did she not agree, she also asked her to release the Kingslayer Jaime.

With Cersei's more than 50,000 people joining, the chances of defeating the White Walkers will be greatly increased.

As for Jaime who was still imprisoned in the dungeon, Daenerys had no intention of locking him up for life after the fire died down. She was only going to release him after taking King's Landing.

Glancing at Tyrion, who had a worried look in his eyes, Daenerys said to Jorah, "Send a letter to King's Landing to sign a truce in Duskendale tomorrow!"

Tyrion couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard that Daenerys had completely agreed to Cersei's request for a ceasefire.
