All the Dragon Riders said with great disdain, "We originally thought these soldiers would be difficult to deal with. Now it seems they're no different from those pirates!"
"It's been a long time since I've stretched my muscles. This time, we must capture all these people alive!"
"If anyone dares to resist, I don't mind sending him to meet Odin!"
The Dragon Riders present, chattering amongst themselves, waited for the green mist to dissipate, not noticing why it was so quiet below.
Astrid's gaze was entirely on Hiccup. She always felt that Hiccup was a bit strange today, but she couldn't pinpoint what was off about him.
Hiccup, on the other hand, was carefully listening to the movements on the ship below. If he concentrated and held his breath, he could clearly hear rustling sounds on the ship's deck.
"Clack-clack-clack~~"
This sound must be from Bows and crossbows!
Because the ropes of the continuous Bows and crossbows had frozen stiff in the low-temperature environment, they would make this unusually crisp sound when pulled.
It seems I can't let them charge down directly; I must let them regain their vision.
So Hiccup waved his hand at the Dragon Riders behind him and said, "Everyone, quiet down!"
Upon receiving Hiccup's words, everyone immediately shut their mouths, even their breathing became much fainter. Even the dragons beside them subconsciously controlled their breathing.
Hiccup said to the Dragon Riders present, "In these past few battles, Berk Island has never lost. So it's inevitable that you feel proud and complacent! This is extremely fatal for a true Knight!"
"Every battle must maintain 100% vigilance. You must never underestimate your enemy! Otherwise, you might even lose your life!"
"I know you must think that the soldiers below have been poisoned by the dense fog! So now I will make you face reality!"
After his words fell, Hiccup waved his hand, covering the last remaining gap above the entire ice prison with thin ice. Then, with a thought, a rain of ice cones began to fall within the ice prison.
"Splash! Splash!"
These ice cones fell onto the ship's deck, instantly shattering into pieces. The soldiers hidden on the deck thought Hiccup was leading his people down.
So they immediately shouted loudly, "Fire! Fire!"
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
Amidst the captain's shouts, arrows shimmering with cold light pierced through the green dense fog, instantly striking the weakest ice layer at the very top.
"Crack! Crack!"
The weak ice layer above was instantly pierced by these arrows, then fell powerlessly into the sea.
"Gulp~~"
All the Dragon Riders present could see the situation inside through the thin ice, so when they saw this scene before their eyes, they subconsciously swallowed their saliva.
At the same time, they also felt some lingering fear, with fine beads of sweat even on their foreheads.
As the arrows continued to fly out from below, the sounds inside grew louder and louder, and it was clear that the green dense fog had not dissipated at all.
Normally, it would be impossible to shout and run freely in such dense fog. This could only mean they had a way to deal with this green dense fog.
Hiccup turned around and said to these Dragon Riders, "Now tell me! What right do you have to underestimate your enemies!?"
"Today, I've let you witness firsthand that true elite soldiers have methods to deal with various situations! You must learn from them as well!"
Upon hearing this, Astrid immediately led all the Dragon Rider members to bow to Hiccup and said, "We will never go against the will of the Divine Emissary!"
Although a bit helpless, Hiccup also understood that the will of a god was much more effective than his own commands.
So Hiccup didn't say much more. Although the arrows from below had stopped, it didn't mean they truly had no weapons left.
It was very likely they were waiting to see their target before launching a new round of attacks.
Looking at the Dragon Riders behind him, Hiccup smiled faintly and said, "Now I have made my orders clear to you! If you lose your lives in the future due to underestimating the enemy! Then don't blame me!"
After his words fell, Hiccup patted Night Fury's head.
"Roar~!"
Night Fury immediately spat a blue-purple fireball into the dense fog below.
"Boom~~~"
Because there was too much green dense fog in the ice prison below, and due to the sealed environment, it couldn't spread. So, upon encountering the blue-purple fireball, it instantly exploded.
The entire ice prison trembled violently, and even the surrounding sea surface churned with huge waves.
This time, all the soldiers hidden on the warship were dazed by the shockwave generated by the explosion. If not for their good physical condition, they would probably have already gone to meet Odin.
This was like the principle of striking a shield with a hammer; although the shield did not break, the person hidden behind the shield bore immense force.
Hiccup immediately waved his hand and said, "Everyone, charge down now while you have the chance!"
Upon receiving Hiccup's command, everyone switched to tranquilizer Bows and crossbows, then flew down on their dragons. Each of them had a clear objective, heading towards their respective targets.
Astrid stood beside Hiccup, and although she hesitated a few times, she finally couldn't resist her curiosity and asked, "Is that woman on the island the chieftain of this Iceland? It seems you and she knew each other a long time ago!"
"And she has so many dragons! She's also attracted such powerful enemies! This might bring trouble to our Berk Island! And I don't know what her attitude towards Berk Island is! If she has…"
Hiccup turned his head and smiled faintly, saying, "Don't worry! Hiccup's mother would never do anything to harm Berk Island!"
Astrid nodded faintly, then suddenly couldn't help but widen her eyes and ask, "Hiccup, what did you say? She's actually your mother! But everyone on Berk Island says…"
Hiccup smiled and said, "Everyone says she's dead, right? But the facts are before your eyes, so what's there to say?"
Astrid stared with wide, shocked eyes, unable to speak, because she simply couldn't believe any of this was true. But even if Hiccup was mistaken, Stoick certainly couldn't be mistaken.
Looking at the woman commanding the Dragon King, a deep sense of envy arose in Astrid's heart, and at the same time, a new idea blossomed within her…
And she couldn't help but think to herself, "I wonder what Hiccup's mother thinks of me?"
