By the time Ragnar and the Dragon Knights beside him clearly saw the direction from which the Dragon's roar came, the members of the Third Squad had already surrounded them.
In the face of overwhelming power, these people immediately gave up resistance, because if they continued to fight, they would not be opponents at all. Moreover, if the other side employed a wheel battle, they would not be able to escape and could only passively engage, eventually collapsing from exhaustion and falling into the sea.
"Young warrior, we surrender! Please don't harm us!"
"We are willing to treat you as guests of our Thunder Island and entertain you well. Please do not harm our people!"
"Perhaps all of this is a misunderstanding! Maybe we can become friends!"
Ragnar began to seek peace, but Hiccup did not believe they genuinely wanted to surrender. He suspected they were looking for an opportunity to capture him and then threaten the other Dragon Knights.
Since he had already seen through their intentions, it was impossible to give them an opportunity.
So Hiccup waved his hand at the Dragon Knights beside him and said, "First, capture them!"
The Dragon Knights swarmed forward, three people surrounding one Dragon Knight from Thunder Island, while others on the periphery prevented their escape.
"Put down your weapons immediately! Stand on your Dragon's back with your hands raised above your head!"
"What are you dawdling for? Hurry up! If you're any later, I'll have to act!"
Seeing that Hiccup and his group were not easy to talk to, Ragnar could only order his subordinates, saying, "All of you, give up resistance! Invite our distant guests to Thunder Island!"
After they gave up resistance, the Dragon Knights directly tied them up with the steel ropes they carried.
These people initially saw these ropes, no thicker than a pinky finger, and didn't take them seriously. Some even secretly took out small knives, preparing to cut the ropes and escape.
In reality, they were overthinking it. Not only was it impossible to break free, but even slowly cutting them with a small knife wouldn't allow them to escape. Instead, the more they struggled, the tighter the ropes became.
Then a group of Dragon Knights hoisted these people into the air and flew towards Thunder Island, followed by a group of Dragons without riders.
Upon arriving at Thunder Island, Hiccup couldn't help but laugh uncharitably at the tragic state of the Dragon Fighting Arena's stands.
Because these elegantly dressed nobles were now sprawled across the stands, most of them barely clinging to life, their former splendor and dignity completely gone.
This time, his target was only Thunder Island, so he would not attack these people.
The Dragon Knights would not attack these people without his command; they would even try to save them.
Hiccup directly commanded, saying, "Send all those people outside to the outskirts of Thunder Island! Don't get in the way here!"
After receiving Hiccup's complete command, it was no longer a small-scale rescue but a full-scale operation to help these people up and send them away.
"Go away, go away, you pirates!"
"No! Don't let your dirty hands ruin my cloak! If you ruin it, you can't afford to pay for it!"
"Pah! Dirty pirates! Isn't it just for money? My Earl father has plenty of money! I'm just afraid you'll get it but won't live to spend it!"
"If you have the guts, kill me now! But you absolutely cannot insult me!"
The Dragon Knights had no way to explain, and even if they did explain to these people, they would absolutely not listen.
Astrid's fiery temper immediately flared, and she quickly put her axe back at her waist, fearing she might kill them in a fit of rage.
"Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap!"
Anyone who spoke disrespectfully was slapped hard by Astrid.
"Now, who else says we are dirty pirates? If we were pirates, you would have been dead long ago. How could you still have a chance to talk nonsense here!"
"Members of the First Squad, listen to me! Throw these people out directly!"
After receiving their captain's command, the members of the First Squad no longer rescued them one by one but directly had the Dragons grab these people and throw them out.
Seeing that the stands were now empty, Astrid clapped her hands with satisfaction and said, "Gather! Report back to the Divine Envoy!"
The sound of the Dragon Knights throwing these people out was very loud, making it difficult for Hiccup not to notice.
But he had no time for such trivial matters. Instead, he looked at Ragnar and said, "Where are your gold and food stored?"
Ragnar was bound with steel ropes, and a Dragon Knight held a long sword to his neck, so he dared not even think of resisting.
"All the gold coins on our island were used to buy Dragons! There is still some food, all in a cave! I can send someone to take you there!"
Hiccup looked at Ragnar indifferently and said, "Answer honestly now, and you still have a chance to live!"
However, Ragnar did not believe that this young Dragon Knight in front of him dared to kill him, especially since Thunder Island was quite famous in the nearby waters.
Ordinary pirates would never dare to attack him.
It was a pity that he had encountered Hiccup. Seeing that he had not answered his question for so long, Hiccup directly waved his hand and said, "Those Dragons in the dungeon must want to bite him to death at all times!"
"If you still don't tell me where the gold coins are now, I can go find them myself!"
After saying that, Hiccup prepared to leave directly. After all, having just conquered an island, it still needed to be carefully checked.
Ragnar quickly struggled and said, "There really are no gold coins left on Thunder Island! If you don't believe me, you can go look for them!"
On such a large island, hiding a few chests of gold coins would be effortless.
If he sent people to search, when would they ever find them?
If they could really be found, Peter would have already found them, and he wouldn't be questioning him now!
So, Hiccup said without looking back, "Bring him out."
Then, in front of the Dragon Knights of Thunder Island, he said, "If anyone knows where the gold of Thunder Island is, I will kill him and make you chiefs!"
"I only want gold! I don't want to kill you!"
"To prove my words, I will fulfill one promise for you first!"
Immediately, Hiccup turned to the Dragon Knight and said, "Execute him first!"
Upon hearing Hiccup's command, the Dragon Knight directly put the steel rope around Ragnar's neck and then flipped onto the Dragon's back!
Hiccup looked at Ragnar and said, "You have one last chance now! If you still don't confess! Then save it to tell Odin!"
But Ragnar retorted, "Who exactly are you? Why are you attacking me? Aren't you afraid..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Hiccup waved his hand, and the Dragon Knight directly rode the Dragon into the sky. Under the gaze of these captives, Ragnar was publicly executed.
