Just as Hiccup began to ponder, heavy snow started falling from the sky, and Night Fury and Yaya chased the snowflakes, playing around.
Hiccup said to Death Song, "Go back!"
Death Song looked at Hiccup with reluctance and didn't want to leave, but Hiccup couldn't possibly take it back to Berk Island; otherwise, Berk Island would surely become riddled with holes and eventually sink into the sea.
So Hiccup could only continue, "I'll be back soon!"
Immediately, Hiccup patted Death Song's forehead and said, "I'll send you back to Exile Island first!"
Upon arriving at Exile Island, Hiccup gave all the bubble sheets stored in his system space to Dragon Mom and the others.
Although not a single patch of green could be seen on Exile Island, there was at least a volcano here, so it wouldn't be too cold in winter.
Berk Island's Second Island also had a volcano, and this blizzard was commonplace for them, but for Berk Island, it was a catastrophe.
From afar, all the villagers could be seen bringing their animals and hurrying towards Valhalla.
This blizzard forced all the villagers on Berk Island to take shelter in Valhalla to keep warm together.
After all, the houses on Berk Island were all built of wood, and their draftiness was simply indescribable; even with a stove lit inside, it would still feel very cold.
So the best solution was to hide in Valhalla, and they did this every year.
One could even see that the sea had begun to freeze, catching many snowflakes!
After Hiccup returned to Berk Island, he said to the people inside Valhalla, "We can go to Berk Island's Second Island now to avoid this blizzard!"
However, the villagers of Berk Island present had no intention of leaving; after all, Berk Island was their home, and they wouldn't leave it easily.
Looking at these stubborn Vikings, Hiccup looked at Stoick and said, "Chief, are you going to watch your villagers freeze to death?"
However, Stoick had no intention of leaving; after all, this blizzard wasn't insurmountable.
Hiccup couldn't manage those who didn't obey orders, especially the elderly; they had finally returned to Berk Island and were even more unwilling to leave.
Immediately, Hiccup turned around and said to the other villagers, "My command! All Dragon Riders assemble and head to Second Island!"
"Veterans take the new recruits to prevent danger along the way! Form a battle formation and depart immediately!"
He couldn't control these elders, but he could certainly manage the Dragon Riders under his command!
All Dragon Riders, whether new recruits or veterans, upon hearing Hiccup's command, immediately grabbed their gear and quickly assembled without a word.
Looking back at Berk Island, which was being eroded by the blizzard, Hiccup murmured to himself, "Why are they unwilling to live a better life?"
He then led the Dragon Riders towards Second Island!
Once these dragons flew above the clouds, the wind would be much weaker, and there would be no more snowflakes obstructing their vision! Although the oxygen was thin, this was also one of the Dragon Knight's training exercises, so they wouldn't feel uncomfortable.
Upon arriving at Second Island, a wave of warmth immediately washed over them; after all, with a dormant volcano here, the temperature couldn't be too low.
The heavy snow fell for three days and three nights, covering even the summit of the dormant volcano with a layer of snow. It also brought a lot of fresh water resources to Second Island.
Due to the presence of the dormant volcano, the impact of the blizzard was minimal, and the people here could still work normally, even going out for snowball fights during their breaks.
Although the heavy snow had fallen for three days and three nights, there was still no sign of it stopping; it was as if it was a halftime break, just paused for a while.
While Hiccup was still designing the blueprints, a Terror Dragon suddenly appeared before him.
Looking at the Terror Dragon in front of him, Hiccup immediately recognized it as the one that had remained on Berk Island.
And this Terror Dragon frantically said, "Dragons have attacked Berk Island! Master, hurry back and see!"
Upon hearing this, Hiccup was momentarily stunned, as Night Fury was the Dragon King, and almost all the surrounding dragon groups had already submitted; wild dragons were very rare.
Even rare species of dragons had already submitted, so any dragon daring to attack Berk Island was likely a new species.
The Terror Dragon hopped and flapped its wings, saying, "Those dragons can't fly, but they run super fast! And they want to steal our sheep! They're so hateful! Master hasn't even eaten, and those hateful guys actually want to steal them!"
"If it weren't for delivering the message to Master! I would definitely fight them to the end!"
Looking at this indignant little fellow, Hiccup casually patted its small head, then pulled over a makeshift microphone and powered it on.
He immediately said in Dragon Language, "Dragon Knight First Squad, assemble immediately!"
The loudspeaker broadcasted the sound, and although it wouldn't reach every corner of the island, dragons have excellent hearing and heard Hiccup give the command in Dragon Language.
They immediately carried their Riders and gathered around Hiccup.
Astrid complained a bit, "Next time we assemble, can the dragons not carry us in their mouths?"
Hiccup said indifferently, "This is the fastest way!"
Without giving Astrid time to retort, he flipped onto Night Fury's back and said, "Everyone prepare for battle! Return to support Berk Island!"
Hearing that Berk Island was in trouble, all the Dragon Riders stood ready, organized their equipment, and set off towards Berk Island.
The villagers on Second Island looked enviously at the departing Dragon Riders, a sense of inferiority in their hearts.
They even subconsciously thought of themselves as slaves, servants subservient to Berk Island, completely unqualified to become Dragon Riders...
And now there were enough dragons, the reason Hiccup hadn't made them Dragon Riders was simply because he had established a reward and punishment system, and the requirements were very strict!
Only those with significant contributions were qualified to become Dragon Riders, and at the same time, it made them understand that becoming a Dragon Knight was not easy, and only after they became true Dragon Riders would they cherish it even more...
And Hiccup set the standards particularly high. The main reason was to allow the new Dragon Riders of Berk Island a transitional period; only after the new recruits of Berk Island became veterans could the number of Dragon Riders continue to expand!
Only then could Dragon Riders be selected based on the performance of the indigenous people of Second Island!
Otherwise, if the expansion was too fast, the foundation would be unstable, and internal strife would eventually occur...
Fortunately, fortunately!
