These old men returned to their former cabins, though some of them were on the verge of collapsing due to long-term disrepair.
While the Viking Warriors were repairing their cabins, these old men gathered to discuss how to slay a Dragon to prove themselves.
Perhaps it was because these individuals were Dragon slayers, and thus always harbored the desire to kill Dragons, or perhaps it was due to the unfair treatment they received in the Beserk Tribe, where they were regarded as useless.
Therefore, they constantly yearned to prove their strength by slaying a Dragon.
Dragons occasionally flew across the sky, but each had a rider on its back, so they dared not make a move.
Because even all these old men combined couldn't defeat a single rider, but this did not diminish their courage.
Each old man held a stone net, preparing to capture the Dragons alive, then kill them on the spot and present their heads to all the villagers to prove their strength.
Soon, every old man's house was repaired, and a small vegetable patch was even added in front of their homes.
Old Mei, for instance, planted cabbage in front of his small cabin.
He also kept a sheep, treating it as his spiritual companion!
Inside his cabin, there were three shields, each bearing the portrait of one of his three wives.
Every day upon returning, the first thing he did was to share his thoughts of the day with his three wives.
"How abominable, truly abominable! These Dragons must be driven away from Berk Island!"
"Who can guarantee that these Dragons won't harm the villagers? Is it that scrawny little Hiccup?"
On the first day, these people were unprepared, so they did not take action.
On the second day, the villagers were diligently working, and the young Dragons flew around wildly, perhaps at an age for exploring the world, which is why they playfully stole food from the villagers.
Old Mei seized this opportunity and quickly ran to Stoick, saying, "These Dragons absolutely cannot remain on Berk Island! Look at what they've done!"
"You should go out and see for yourself! Then you'll realize that our ancestors' decisions were all correct! The only way for us Vikings to interact with Dragons is through slaughter!"
Stoick glanced at him indifferently and said, "You don't need to tell me these things! All the Dragons on the island are Hiccup's responsibility!"
"Whatever difficulties or problems you have, you can go to Hiccup! Don't come to me! He will definitely handle this matter well!"
Old Mei immediately trembled with rage, even his grizzled beard twitched.
However, he could only go to Hiccup, as Stoick truly wouldn't concern himself with this matter.
At this moment, Hiccup had already prepared the power-storing battery, ready for the second experiment.
"Roar~!"
Night Fury suddenly bared its sharp teeth at these old men, and Yaya also watched them warily!
Old Mei stood at the forefront, shouting at Hiccup, "Hiccup, go and see! Your Dragons are destroying our village! They're stealing the villagers' food! They're causing destruction everywhere!"
Hiccup said indifferently, "And then what?"
Old Mei and the old men behind him all trembled with anger; they hadn't expected the Chief to have this attitude, and now his son had the same attitude.
"Then you should immediately drive these Dragons out of Berk Island, so they don't continue to disrupt the villagers' lives!"
Hiccup smiled faintly and asked, "What! You few spend all day doing nothing on Berk Island! So you're bored, is that it?"
Immediately, an old man stepped forward and said, "Of course we will contribute to Berk Island! And we will personally kill these Dragons for Berk Island! To protect the safety of the villagers!"
"That's right! If you keep these Dragons on Berk Island! Berk Island will sooner or later be destroyed by these Dragons!"
Hiccup looked at them and said, "When you weren't here, Berk Island was especially peaceful, the villagers lived in contentment, and everyone lived happily!"
"If your arrival causes Berk Island to once again become full of trouble! Then I will definitely send people to send you back to the Beserk Tribe!"
With that, Hiccup said to Yaya, "Gather all the young Dragons!"
"Roar~~~~!"
Yaya let out a long Dragon roar towards the sky, making the old men in front of them cover their ears, their expressions somewhat pained.
They wished they could rush over and kill Yaya right then.
At this moment, a group of young Dragons, flapping their tender wings, came before Yaya and lined up according to their height.
Hiccup said to these young Dragons, "Count off!"
"One, two, three… thirty-five…"
After this period of teaching, these young Dragons could now clearly speak numbers and understood the meaning these numbers represented.
But to communicate normally with humans, it would still take some time.
Watching these young Dragons that could speak human words, the old men present immediately widened their eyes, unable to believe the reality before them.
"How can Dragons speak human language? It must be my eyes playing tricks on me!"
"No! Odin above! If Dragons can already speak human language, is it because they've eaten too many humans, which is why they can speak human tongue?!"
"What in the world happened? This is simply impossible! Why would Dragons speak human language?!"
Hiccup looked at these mischievous young Dragons and said, "No more causing trouble in the village from now on! Whoever dares to cause trouble again won't get dinner!"
Hearing Hiccup's threatening words, these young Dragons shook their heads one after another, and said in a childish voice, "No more, no more! Never again!"
Due to frequent mistakes, these young Dragons were also very clear in their language of admitting fault.
And this made the old men even more astonished; one old man even fainted directly.
Because in his opinion, these Dragons must be the product of a union between humans and Dragons. Otherwise, why would they speak human language?
Old Mei looked at Hiccup, then at these young Dragons, unsure what to say.
Hiccup, instead, smiled faintly and said, "You must remember what I said! Otherwise, I will do as I say! I will definitely send you back to the Beserk Tribe!"
Upon hearing the words "Beserk Tribe," all the old men present shivered with fright.
After all, that tribe was hell for them, where they endured inhumane treatment every day.
Old Mei couldn't deal with these Dragons this time, so he could only slink away… But this didn't mean they would give up.
