"Sizzle~ Sizzle~"
The sea fish on the stove sizzled as it cooked. After all, this was within the Arctic Circle; if the sea fish had too little fat, it would be difficult to withstand the severe cold.
As the temperature rose, the fragrant aroma of the sea fish wafted out.
Night Fury was drooling while the fish was being roasted. If Stoick hadn't been there, it probably would have long since stopped being polite to Hiccup and just grabbed it to eat.
Moreover, this time there were seasonings on it, making the taste even more delicious and appealing.
Stoick carefully roasted the fish, afraid that his cooking skills would displease Hiccup, so he kept flipping it over and over, examining it repeatedly.
Hiccup, on the other hand, stared at Night Fury roasting the fish. After all, it was a Dragon, and its fish-roasting technique was still far inferior to that of humans.
Then, after the roasted fish was completely cooked through, Stoick directly handed the roasted fish in his hand to Hiccup and said, "You try it. Is it good?"
Hiccup took the roasted fish directly, blew on it, tore off a piece of fish meat, and put it directly into his mouth.
Stoick looked at Hiccup with his expectant gaze, afraid that he would be dissatisfied with this roasted fish.
Hiccup ate and said, "Hmm! It's delicious! No wonder Mom fell in love with you because of this back then!"
Receiving his son's praise, Stoick was extremely happy, and his heart bloomed with joy, but he always said with a smile on his face, "I haven't roasted fish in almost twenty years, so my skills are definitely not as good as they used to be!"
"It's just a pity that your mom will never have the chance to eat my roasted fish again!"
Hiccup, still eating the roasted fish, said without turning his head, "There's still a chance!"
Stoick looked at the roasted fish in his hand with some loss, then murmured to himself, "Yes! There should still be a chance! Giving it to you to eat is like seeing your mom eating!"
Because of this sentence, the topic instantly became heavy. The father and son suddenly fell silent.
Night Fury swung the roasted fish in its hand, as if showing off, but neither the father nor the son paid any attention to it. Night Fury directly drooped its ears and slowly began to eat, as if expressing its dissatisfaction.
Seeing that Hiccup ignored it for so long, Night Fury held a piece of roasted fish in its mouth and came to him, just like when they first met, motioning for Hiccup to eat.
Hiccup took it directly and said, "Roast it a little longer! It will taste even better!"
It was precisely because he spoke first that he broke the silent atmosphere. Stoick looked at Night Fury, with a myriad of thoughts in his heart but not knowing where to begin.
Hiccup said indifferently, "Father, ask whatever you want! If I can answer, I will definitely tell you!"
After all, many things simply cannot be explained. Even if demonstrated from beginning to end, it would be difficult to explain. So, what he said was equivalent to giving Stoick a heads-up in advance.
If he encountered an unexplainable problem, he could only blame it on Odin.
Stoick immediately expressed the doubts in his heart. He looked at Hiccup and asked, "If we have Dragons on Berk Island, when will we destroy the Dragon Nest!"
"After the Dragon Nest is destroyed, these Dragons will not be suitable to remain on Berk Island. What should we do then?"
"Will you lead these Dragons to plunder other islands, and will you destroy others' homes for your own ambition!?"
Hiccup simply did not know how to answer these questions. Dragons needed to be raised, and territories needed to be expanded; these were all necessary things to do.
In his previous life, there was always a saying: only under the barrel of a gun can political power emerge and peaceful unification be maintained!
Therefore, Hiccup could only answer, "Everything I do is for the peace of Berk Island, and also to fulfill the guidance of Odin!"
After hearing this, Stoick immediately dismissed all the doubts in his heart. He knew he should not ask further.
After all, all of this was Odin's guidance. If he were to stop Hiccup, wouldn't that be going against the will of God?
If Odin no longer protected Berk Island, what would happen to the villagers on Berk Island?
"Roar~!"
Just as the father and son were lost in thought, Night Fury suddenly shook off the roasted fish in its mouth and rushed out of the small wooden house.
Hiccup picked up the large axe in the small wooden house and said, "Something's happening!"
Because he knew that Night Fury would only show such an expression when it sensed hostility.
And outside the small wooden house, there were also angry roars from the patrolling Dragons.
They also discovered Dragons that wanted to attack Berk Island, so a chain reaction immediately occurred. One Dragon roared, and the rest of the Dragons followed suit.
The Vikings responsible for patrolling did not know what was happening, so they looked at the sky with puzzled expressions.
At this moment, all the Dragon Knights had already ridden their Dragon companions into the sky, defending against the approaching Dragons.
Night Fury had just run out of the small wooden house, turned its head to look at Hiccup, and at this moment, Hiccup also chased out with the large axe, directly flipping onto Night Fury's neck.
He looked back at Stoick once and didn't say much. The father and son exchanged all information with just a single glance.
Stoick shouted at the top of his lungs, "Raise the torches! Quickly raise the torches!"
The Vikings responsible for the night watch, hearing the chieftain's words, quickly lit the torches and slowly raised them, illuminating the dark night sky.
Faintly, one could see quite a few Dragons circling above Berk Island, as if searching for targets.
At this moment, the villagers on Berk Island held stone nets in their hands. Although they wanted to launch an attack directly, they were afraid of harming their own people.
So they hesitated, not daring to attack and waiting for Stoick's command.
Stoick was also afraid that the Vikings would hurt Hiccup, so he delayed giving the order to attack.
Hiccup commanded all the Dragon Knights to arrange their attack formation in an orderly manner, and then launched an attack in the direction of those Dragons!
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
All the Dragon Knights were unreservedly releasing Bows and crossbows. Their Dragon companions also directly spat out fireballs.
Hiccup was also afraid that the villagers on Berk Island would accidentally injure his Dragon Knights, so he could only passively defend. After all, the range of the torches was limited.
The current battle could only be resolved by himself; the villagers below could not help at all.
Stoick watched the battle in front of him anxiously, but he couldn't help at all. Although he also wanted to ride a Dragon into the sky, he couldn't distinguish between friend and foe.
In the dark night sky, fireballs streaked across, and the Vikings could only watch, tightly holding their stone nets, waiting for an opportunity to attack.
Hiccup commanded Night Fury to directly find the Dragon King of this group of Dragons. After all, to catch the bandit, first catch the king, and it was the same with Dragons.
