Although they could still control their Longwing Dragons, those Longwing Dragons clearly did not want to approach the giant dragon and only dared to fly around it.
"Is that a giant dragon?" Jon suddenly asked, full of doubt.
Not only Jon, but also others who had seen drawings of Targaryen dragons and the Sea Dragon Glutton were filled with the same question.
Because the giant dragon they saw was too strange; its entire body had no flesh or blood, just a layer of dragon skin tightly wrapped around its bones.
At the same time, its body was covered in cracks, with lava spewing out of them, dripping into the air, turning into black smoke, and then being reabsorbed.
Most striking were the dragon's heart, throat, and eyes, which were all glowing masses of molten lava.
These lava masses emitted intense light, illuminating the dragon's body from inside out, making it appear extremely evil, like a demon from the seven hells mentioned in the Temple of the Seven Gods.
Facing such a bizarre behemoth, the people inside the castle did not believe their weapons could withstand such a monster, but the guards, including the Redemption Sisters and Silent Brothers, showed no fear.
They recited prayers to the Seven Gods, gripping their weapons tightly, ready to become martyrs at any moment.
The strange giant dragon circled twice in the air, then found the large platform where the Dragon Nest was located and descended towards it.
The Redemption Sisters, Silent Brothers, and Chosen of God all rushed towards the Dragon Nest.
Jon and the others also wanted to go, but they were stopped by Roso and Baelon, who told Jon and the others to immediately take the elevator down to gather more people.
Roso and Baelon, meanwhile, found a dragon-slaying crossbow that had recently been sent from the forge in the storeroom, holding two specially made arrows, and carried it towards the Dragon Nest.
When the two of them arrived at the Dragon Nest, they saw the Silent Brothers and Redemption Sisters had all assembled their weapons and were lined up in formation, ready for battle, while the Chosen of God had also brought out their standard large crossbows, ready to attack at any moment.
"Everyone spread out, everyone spread out! Watch out for dragonfire!" Roso shouted loudly, reminding everyone.
Upon hearing this, everyone obeyed, scattering to rocks or walls where they could take cover from dragonfire.
If dragonfire fell, they could hide in a relatively safe place.
Roso and Baelon quickly found a suitable position to set up the dragon-slaying crossbow, placing it there.
Baelon grabbed the lever, ready to draw the bowstring, while Roso stood at the crossbow's firing position, holding the special arrow in his hand, ready to aim.
At this moment, the giant dragon had also landed on the platform.
The platform, which was quite spacious for Longwing Dragons, seemed a bit narrow for this giant dragon.
When it landed, half of its body could only hang over the edge, with only the other half lying on the platform.
Seeing the giant dragon in the air, they had already felt its immense size; now that it had landed before them, they had an even more intuitive sense of its enormity.
Its massive dragon body, nearly three stories high, brought a strong sense of oppression.
The lava spewing from the cracks in its body was not an illusion but real lava; they could even directly feel the scorching heat emanating from it and smell the unique odor of lava.
Before the giant dragon landed on the platform, all the Longwing Dragons that could fly had flown away, and those that couldn't were carried into the Dragon Nest.
Fortunately, there were no unnecessary casualties this time, unlike the last.
After the giant dragon landed, it showed no attacking intent.
Instead, it lowered its head and slightly spread its wings, forming a ramp upon landing.
Immediately after, everyone saw Lynd, wearing fallen knight armor, carrying a dragon horn, and with three swords at his side, walk down from the dragon's back.
At the same time, a mutated two-headed man, covered in dust, also crawled out from under the dragon's wing.
The news that Linde Terra, Lord of Summerhall, Prince of the Narrow Sea, Stepstones, Calamity City and its city-states, and Prince of Lorath, had subdued a giant dragon quickly spread throughout Redemption Town.
Many people even ran to places outside Redemption Town where they could see the castle on the mountaintop, to look at the giant dragon with half its body hanging over the edge.
Although Lynd had previously subdued a Sea Dragon Glutton, that dragon usually stayed in the sea, and even when it came to land, it would rest in the Dragon Nest managed by Miracle Sanctuary, rarely appearing before people.
Most people could only see its dragon back floating on the water's surface.
This also led many people to believe that the Sea Dragon Glutton was not a true dragon, because in their impression, dragons should be able to fly in the air and breathe dragonfire.
