Everyone felt a tense atmosphere, but they all strangely maintained a balance; no one tore off their masks, and no one mentioned the contract!
It was as if people from two tribes were amicably touring the scenery on Berk Island.
Hiccup listened to Dak's question and still said with a half-smile, "You can even take down your own father! Is there anything that can stump you?"
Listening to Hiccup's mockery, he still thought it was praise, so he laughed wildly and said, "Hahaha! Yes. Even that old geezer can be taken down by me! Is there anything that can stop me?"
"What do you say, brother? Is there anything that can stop me?"
Hiccup looked at him disdainfully. He didn't take him seriously; after all, this kind of simple-minded, brawny fool thought that force could solve everything.
In reality, one flame from him could kill him.
The reason he hadn't made a move until now was entirely because Hiccup was stalling for time.
Because during the time he had just disappeared, Hiccup had sent Astrid to lead the Dragon Knight First Squad to quickly go to the Beserk Tribe to scout the situation.
Hiccup just wanted to know if the fleet of 50,000 was real or fake. If it was real, then the best way was to subdue them, and a tribe of tens of thousands was enough to establish a kingdom.
Dak was still aimlessly wandering on Berk Island, with Stoick and others slowly following behind him.
As he walked, Dak thought to himself, "Where would these people hide the treasure? Would it be hidden in the warehouse? Or in a cave?"
Dak said directly, "I want to see your warehouse! To see how it differs from our Beserk Tribe's warehouse!"
Although he didn't understand what Dak meant, Stoick still enthusiastically led Dak to visit the warehouse.
"This is our food storage warehouse! And this is our weapon storage warehouse!"
Looking at the two most important warehouses on Berk Island, Dak immediately felt a bit troubled. The food storage warehouse mostly contained dry black bread and some wheat, as well as a small number of cabbages.
The weapon warehouse was full of scrap metal; it looked as if no new weapons had been forged for a long time.
This made Dak very suspicious, and as his big eyes darted around, he couldn't help but think, "As a Viking, he would rather not eat than not have a good weapon!"
"But why is there plenty of food on Berk Island, but all these weapons are broken! And they are all unusable junk! Did they hide the weapons?"
Dak simply couldn't see Berk Island's intention.
Hiccup and the others didn't want Dak to see their dragons, while Dak wanted to find the treasure on Berk Island; their goals were not aligned at all.
Dak didn't find what he wanted in the warehouse and said directly, "The caves on Berk Island are strange and varied; I want to go see them!"
Listening to such an unreasonable request, Stoick could only say to Hiccup, "You accompany Dak for a good stroll on Berk Island! I still have some things to deal with!"
Stoick simply threw his hands up; he really didn't understand why Dak wanted to go to the cave, and Hiccup smiled faintly and said, "What! Still want to play the buried alive game from back then?"
Upon hearing this, Dak smiled and said, "Oh, my brother! You still remember this! I had already forgotten!"
"If you want to play again! Then let's go now! To that same cave from back then!"
Dak had a premonition that in this cave, he would definitely find what he was looking for.
Hiccup smiled and said, "Alright! This was the most classic game back then! Let's relive the joy of childhood!"
The two left here talking and laughing; anyone who didn't know would have thought they were truly brothers.
After arriving at the cave, Hiccup said to Dak, "Let's go in together and see who comes out first!"
"Alright! But no torches allowed!" Dak smiled grimly.
Then Dak quickly walked into the cave; he was already impatient to find the treasure. Hiccup followed closely behind him.
Less than ten minutes later, Hiccup slowly walked out of the cave.
Hiccup looked at the accompanying soldiers and said, "Are you ready?"
These soldiers were a bit confused, not understanding what Hiccup meant.
"Bang ~!"
Only a violent explosion was heard from inside the cave, and then the entire mountain shook.
"Ah!"
Dak's screams came from inside; it was unknown whether he was dead or alive!
Hiccup looked at them and said, "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and dig! He'll be dead in a moment!"
These soldiers immediately panicked; they held longswords and shields in their hands and couldn't dig rocks with those things at all.
"Why are you looking at me? Who knows what he's doing in there, burying himself; is that my fault!?" Hiccup said innocently.
And these words were nothing more than a verbatim recreation of the scene from back then.
These soldiers were exceptionally helpless and could only hurry to dig with their hands. Fortunately, what was blocking the cave entrance were only some broken large rocks, and not too much dirt.
Soon, Dak was rescued.
"My brother! What just happened? Why was I buried inside?" Dak was extremely angry; he hadn't expected that Hiccup, who he had always bullied, would now dare to trick him.
Hiccup said indifferently, "It must have been your farts that were too loud! Causing the mountain to collapse! And then burying yourself!"
Although Dak was very foolish, he simply couldn't believe such an excuse, so he laughed loudly and said, "Hahaha! My brother, you will always remember that I am Crazy Dak!"
"I am the bravest warrior of Beserk! Causing an entire cave to collapse with a fart is nothing!"
"But today's matter, I think I still need to have a good talk with Stoick! Especially regarding the Brother Alliance Contract!"
"I think our two tribes must consider it carefully! We absolutely cannot drag each other down!"
Dak rambled on for a long time, then led his soldiers away from here.
Hiccup shrugged indifferently, and at the same time, he couldn't help but think, "There's an old saying in the Dragon Country: to catch a thief, first catch his king! You fool, as long as you're on Berk Island! Your fleet won't be able to function!"
"Even if you miraculously escape! I can still go to Dragon Island and lead a thousand dragons to meet your fleet!"
"What's more, not only are you on Berk Island now, but you've only brought a thousand-plus warriors!"
