Erwin glared at Hiccup with an unwilling gaze, too weak to utter a single word.
Although Stoick wanted to kill him directly, a trial had to be held on Berk Island before he could be punished.
Then Hiccup turned his head, looked at Old Mei, and said, "Grab this old traitor for me too!"
"You blew up the armory during the day, and then you're colluding with these Exiles at night, intending to attack Berk Island! I really don't know who gave you such courage!"
When Erwin heard this, he immediately had a huge change of opinion about Old Mei; he hadn't expected Old Mei to actually dare to blow up the armory.
But if Old Mei really blew up the armory, then where did the Dragon Knight's weapons come from?
In reality, Dragon Knight's weapons are carried with them every day; the weapons in the armory are only for the Vikings on the island.
Secondly, Hiccup was just cooperating with Old Mei to put on a show, letting him incriminate himself.
Everyone was brought into Valhalla, and then Stoick, as the Chief, stood before everyone and began to read out the crimes Erwin had committed.
Finally, Stoick straightened his back and said with feigned authority, "By the name of Odin, I sentence! Erwin, the traitor of Berk Island, is banished permanently! All possessions of the traitor Old Mei on Berk Island are confiscated! Permanently banished!"
Listening to this seemingly light punishment, the villagers on Berk Island felt it was somewhat unbelievable.
These two traitors were planning to attack Berk Island and potentially kill them, and the result was just a light banishment?
Just as all the villagers were feeling confused, Hiccup waved his hand and said, "Execute immediately!"
After hearing Hiccup's words, everyone dared not raise any more objections, and could only watch as Erwin, Old Mei, and the pirates were all loaded onto a ship and pushed into the vast sea.
Originally, more than a dozen ships had set out together, but only one ship remained on the return journey, and it was packed with people; if anyone made even a slightly larger movement, the ship could sink into the sea.
However, this way of returning was far too comfortable, so Hiccup directly ordered the Dragon Knight, saying, "Old rules! Make them swim back!"
After receiving the order, the Dragon Knight quickly ascended into the air and caught up with Erwin's ship.
Everyone on board stood cautiously, not daring to move at all.
"Roar!"
From an unknown direction, a fireball suddenly appeared, followed by several more fireballs.
The fireballs streaked across the dark night sky, illuminating the scene on the ship's deck, and under the gaze of these people, the small boat was riddled with holes by the fireballs.
After holes appeared in the small boat, it began to sink at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The people on the boat immediately panicked; some grabbed empty wooden barrels and jumped into the sea, while the rest either clung to wooden planks or jumped directly into the sea.
In the sea, Erwin looked grimly at the Dragon Knight in the sky, secretly vowing in his heart: "One day I will kill these Dragon Knights! To wash away today's humiliation!"
However, even though these pirates had jumped into the sea, the Dragon Riders had no intention of letting them go.
"Roar! Roar! Roar!"
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Following the roars of the Dragon came bright fireballs smashing onto the sea surface, and huge splashes of water rose from the sea.
Some pirates were scared unconscious and sank directly to the bottom of the sea, while the remaining pirates hurriedly dodged.
After all this was done, the Dragon Riders returned to Berk Island in great excitement!
The reason Hiccup let them go instead of killing them directly was entirely because he treated them as tools!
Because these people never died in the original story, living until the end, and it was they who put the Whispering Death Dragon and Death Song Dragon eggs into the Berk Island caves.
This also made the underground space of Berk Island like a labyrinth, full of various tunnels!
If Berk Island is to become a floating island on the sea, the help of these Dragons is needed.
If he led the Dragon Knight out himself, they would certainly search many small islands, which would be time-consuming and laborious, and it would also be easy to not find them.
It was better to wait on Berk Island for them to deliver these Dragon eggs.
Just then, another Dragon figure suddenly appeared in the sky, and Heather and her parents were sitting on the Dragon's back.
Because after these pirates left Exile Island, the entire island's defenses were weak, and Heather could directly escape with her parents by her own strength.
And Hiccup had already sent out a Dragon to meet them, and now they were just being brought back...
After landing on Berk Island, the villagers had not yet dispersed; they were all curiously sizing up Heather, especially Snotlout, who was mingled in the crowd.
He watched with his own eyes as Heather rode a Dragon and descended from the sky.
Heather came before Hiccup, bowed devoutly, and said, "Respected Divine Emissary! Thank you for your help! I have rescued my parents from Exile Island!"
At this, Snotlout's mind went blank after hearing these words.
His mind kept replaying the stories Heather had told him, about both parents dying and the tribe being destroyed; it turned out all of it was fake.
Yet he himself had been smug, thinking he saw through everything, thinking nothing could be hidden from him. Now the facts were laid bare before him, making it difficult for him to accept for a while...
Hiccup looked at Snotlout in the crowd with a half-smile, but didn't say much; after all, for someone who didn't follow orders, he had to be taught a profound lesson.
Although Heather had now rescued her parents, it didn't mean Hiccup would trust her. He just said lightly, "You should understand the rules of Berk Island!"
"Heather understands!"
After bowing, Heather looked thoughtfully at Hiccup, then took her parents to the house by the sea.
Snotlout seemed unwilling to give up, quickly rushed out of the crowd, and chased after Heather.
However, Heather did not stop for him. She even pretended not to hear his shouts.
Snotlout chased her all the way to the house by the sea, but Heather locked the door directly, having no intention of meeting him.
And he frantically pounded on the wooden door, shouting, "Why did you lie to me? Why did you lie to me?"
"What did the great Dragon Knight Snotlout do wrong? Why did you deceive me? You caused me to be kicked out of the Dragon Knight Squad by the Divine Emissary! And I have been separated from my beloved Dragon!"
"This is all because of you! All because of you!"
