It was already midnight when the Terror Dragon returned to Berk Island; by then, Hiccup and the two Dragons were already asleep.
To handle emergencies, a small movable door was left above the cabin, only small-bodied Dragons like the Terror Dragon could squeeze through.
Just as the Terror Dragon flew into the cabin, preparing to approach Hiccup, Night Fury heard the commotion and yawned, lifting his head.
The Terror Dragon happened to fly right into Night Fury's mouth.
Feeling something moving in his mouth, Night Fury's eyes widened instantly, and he quickly spat the Terror Dragon onto Hiccup's bed, then immediately jumped up.
He directly spat out a blue-purple fireball, igniting the extinguished bonfire, and assumed a battle-ready stance.
The Terror Dragon quickly scrambled behind Hiccup, cautiously peeking out, staring at Night Fury, fearing he would kill him.
He even couldn't help but think to himself, "I've never been discovered by an enemy, yet I've almost been killed by my own people several times!"
Hiccup grabbed the Terror Dragon and pulled him in front of him, then asked, "What happened?"
The Terror Dragon told Hiccup every detail, and after hearing it all, Hiccup smiled faintly and said, "Not bad! At least there are some smart people in the Beserk Tribe!"
"But this is good too! Once we reach the Beserk Tribe, we can just take over!"
After speaking, Hiccup released the Terror Dragon and went back to sleep.
The next day, when the sun rose, all the villagers gathered in the square, awaiting Hiccup's arrival.
Dak, meanwhile, was confined in an iron cage, his face ashen, enduring the sea breeze, completely devoid of his previous arrogant demeanor.
Now, he didn't want to say a single word; even his gaze had begun to turn dull, staring blankly at the distant sea...
Hiccup rode Night Fury to the sky above Berk Island, then took out a megaphone.
Since the advent of electricity and magnets, such simple megaphones could be easily made, and in the future, when materials were abundant, even a few simple speakers could be produced.
Then he wouldn't have to strain his voice shouting so hard anymore!
Executing Dak was not for the villagers of Berk Island to see, but for the captured soldiers, to let them witness with their own eyes the killing of their leader.
To establish himself as the new leader in their hearts!
Since no single island could accommodate over ten thousand people, they could only crowd onto the ships to watch.
Two Dragons pulled the chains, lifting the iron cage into the air, with Dak sitting inside, silent.
All the soldiers watched their leader being suspended in mid-air, clenching their fists tightly...
Someone, it's unclear who, shouted, "Leader Dak! Odin will surely forgive your sins!"
"Leader Dak! Leader Dak!"
The soldiers below frantically shouted Dak's name, but Dak just gave a bitter smile, without saying much.
"Roar~!"
"Bang!"
The Dragons present directly spat a fireball at the sea, creating a huge splash!
The water splashed onto the soldiers, instantly sobering them up and making them much quieter.
Hiccup spoke into the megaphone, "The people of the Beserk Tribe must submit to Berk Island! Otherwise, they are enemies of Berk Island!"
"And we only have one way to deal with enemies! That is! Kill!"
As the word 'kill' fell, another Dragon immediately appeared, carrying a rope with a ring on his claw.
He then threaded the rope through the gaps in the iron cage and looped it around Dak's neck, and under everyone's gaze, Dak was hanged in mid-air.
But this was not the end; Hiccup continued to shout through the megaphone to the people below, "Now, those who are willing to submit to Berk Island! Immediately jump off the ship and swim to the island opposite!"
"I'll only give you three breaths to consider! Once the time is up, I will show no mercy!"
Upon hearing this, the soldiers present did not hesitate in the slightest; they didn't jump into the sea one by one, but rather all jumped in as quickly as possible.
They feared that if they were too slow, the entire ship would be blown to pieces, and they would perish in the sea, not even leaving a complete corpse.
Splashes appeared everywhere as these soldiers swam towards the island opposite Berk Island. Then the Dragon Knight Third Squad was responsible for guarding them!
However, Hiccup had no intention of wiping them out; he merely had the Dragons beside him spit a few fireballs to scare them.
All these soldiers chose to surrender, and they all swam towards the island at an extremely fast pace.
After all, even their leader was dead, and the entire Beserk Tribe had already become a vassal of Berk Island, not to mention they simply couldn't defeat Berk Island's Dragon Knights!
Hiccup looked at the empty warships and muttered to himself, "You're smart enough!"
Although a small island accommodating over ten thousand people was a bit crowded, these people were merely captives; until they truly became people of Berk Island, they were not entitled to special treatment.
After dealing with these people, Hiccup directly led the Dragon Knights First Squad, along with Dak's hanged corpse, towards the Beserk Tribe.
At the same time, Hiccup also began to feel curious about the female leader who could use magic.
As he walked, he couldn't help but think to himself, "A cook who can only use healing magic, with no combat ability whatsoever, yet she was able to lead these slaves to rise up and become their own masters!"
"And she could even become the leader of these slaves! This is enough to show that this person is very cunning and has a way to win people's hearts!"
Soon, Hiccup led the Dragon Knights First Squad to the sky above the Beserk Tribe, and directly shouted through the megaphone, "Everyone, gather in the square!"
"Otherwise! We'll wipe out your entire tribe!"
When the people of the Beserk Tribe heard the Dragon roars, they all came out of their houses, looking fearfully at the Dragons in the sky.
As they walked towards the square, they couldn't help but discuss, "Oh my goodness! Someone can actually tame Dragons! And become their Knight!"
"This is simply incredible! Someone can actually tame these Dragons who only know how to kill! Did they sacrifice their children to gain the Dragons' trust?"
"Look! That Dragon's claw even has a corpse on it! Why does it look so familiar?"
"Who are these people? Why are they attacking the Beserk Tribe? Where have our tribe's warriors gone!?"
