Criston Cole leads the Greens to battle in new House of the Dragon pictures

One of the many enticing aspects of the series was the gory and extravagantly realistic fighting sequences in Game of Thrones. The prequel House of the Dragon, which continues in the same style, has created some of the best action moments on television thus far in 2022. The Battle of Rook’s Rest, which will include some of Fire & Blood’s most intriguing characters, is only one of the many things that are still to come.

Criston Cole will lead the Green Army in House of the Dragon

From Fire & Blood, we know that King Aegon II will appoint Criston Cole as his new hand, dismissing his grandfather Otto Hightower after Daemon reclaims Harrenhal. This is supposed to happen in House of the Dragon Season 2, and new pictures from the set show Cole (Fabien Frankel) leading the Green Army to battle.

Greens set up Dragon-killing weapons

Aegon and Criston Cole know that they will have to face some of the mightiest dragons in Westeros in battle, and they are prepared. From the pictures so far, we know the company will be setting up traps and weaponry to tackle any dragon threats in their way, including the giant scorpions we saw earlier.
