Thinking of this, Astrid immediately led a team of Dragon Knights to Volka's side under a pretext, and smiled at Volka, saying, "I'm so sorry, I mistook you for an enemy just now!"
Volka was momentarily stunned by the words, but returned the smile, feeling even more satisfied. So she turned her head and glanced at Stoick, seemingly expressing her approval to him, then said to Astrid, "It's alright. After all, I haven't been back to Berk Island in 20 years! I'm afraid the people on the island have long forgotten me!"
Astrid quickly picked up the conversation, saying, "Everyone on Berk Island remembers that you are the mother of the Divine Envoy. We would never dare to forget!"
Although these words were a bit insincere, everyone could understand the underlying meaning of Astrid's words.
So Volka just smiled and said, "That's truly wonderful then. I was worried that no one would recognize me when I returned to Berk Island!"
"I believe the villagers of Berk Island will be very surprised to see someone come back from the dead again!"
The two conversed very harmoniously, while Stoick watched from the side, utterly bewildered, because he still couldn't understand; the conversation between these two seemed to be about one thing, yet also completely unrelated.
In reality, one knew she was lying, and the other was deliberately lying. The two seemed to have reached some kind of unspoken understanding, which is why they chatted so harmoniously.
Gobber appeared behind Stoick at some point, also looking bewildered at Volka and Astrid. He never would have thought that these two would get along so well.
So Gobber smiled with great relief and said, "It seems your future daughter-in-law and her mother are getting along quite well!"
Stoick immediately squinted at Gobber and said, "If Astrid really were my future daughter-in-law, that would truly be wonderful!"
Gobber said with some disdain, "As Hiccup's father, you can't even see these things! What are you thinking about all day? It seems you really are old!"
Stoick's eyes widened in anger as he looked at Gobber and asked, "What do you mean by that? I am Hiccup's father! If you think I'm old, I can duel you!"
Gobber snorted, saying, "Hmph! How stubborn! I truly feel sad for Hiccup!"
This sentence made Stoick even more exasperated, but he was helpless. He could only watch as Gobber effortlessly joined the conversation between the two women.
At this moment, Hiccup was directing the Dragon Knights to capture all the soldiers on these dozen or so ships alive.
The soldiers on the warships were divided into deck combat soldiers, mechanical control soldiers, followed by logistics soldiers below deck, and hidden soldiers!
So Hiccup wanted the Dragon Knights to charge onto the deck, quickly deal with the enemies on the surface, and then use the same trick again, throwing green poisonous fog smoke bombs into the ship's hold.
"Bang!"
The thick green fog instantly filled the entire hold, and the soldiers below didn't even have time to react. They were instantly blown backward.
These soldiers were already wearing heavy armor, and after this explosion, they were all dizzy and disoriented.
When they opened their eyes again, their vision was blurry, and they couldn't see the direction at all, only vaguely hearing chaotic footsteps approaching them.
Although they felt danger approaching, they had no strength to struggle, and it was even difficult to stand up!
Some soldiers with better physiques wanted to resist, but it was ultimately futile.
"Thump~"
The Dragon Knight delivered a heavy punch directly to their helmets, instantly knocking them unconscious. When they woke up again, their bodies were tightly bound with steel ropes.
All the soldiers here were captured alive and unharmed, except that they still had weak limbs and severe internal injuries.
Hiccup casually glanced around, then slowly opened his mouth and said, "Does anyone here know where Draeger fled to?"
However, everyone present shook their heads, some even shouting defiantly, "I will never betray Lord Leader!"
"Even if I knew where he was! I would never tell you! Either kill me! Or release me now! Otherwise, Lord Leader will freeze you all into ice when he returns!"
"You Dragon Knights will ultimately not escape death! When our Lord Leader returns! He will freeze all of you into ice blocks! Then put you in a pot and slowly boil you!"
As these few individuals loudly resisted, more and more soldiers immediately followed suit, roaring with their loudest voices.
Hiccup waved his hand and didn't speak. Immediately, a Dragon Knight, holding the Dragon Slayer Sword, slowly walked forward, and then, in front of all the soldiers, directly cut off their arms.
Although these soldiers were still wearing heavy armor, the Dragon Slayer Sword of the Dragon Knight still cut through it smoothly.
Normally, ordinary weapons would not be able to break through this armor, so this single sword strike immediately scared them into silence.
"Ah~~!"
The soldiers whose arms were severed immediately lay on the ground, letting out screams like pigs being slaughtered.
Each scream stimulated the nerves of the other soldiers, but they did not yield. Instead, they roared even louder, "If you have the guts, kill me now!"
Hiccup didn't waste any more words. He directly waved his hand and froze the shouting soldiers into ice blocks.
This scene not only shocked the soldiers present but also astonished the Dragon Knights present.
They all couldn't help but murmur, "The Divine Envoy actually knows magic! And it's powerful ice magic!"
"Did Odin bestow magic power upon the Divine Envoy? That's why he can control ice magic!"
"The Divine Envoy has indeed grown stronger! And he's becoming more and more mysterious! Making us only able to look up to him!"
"As the Divine Envoy grows stronger, our Berk Island will surely usher in a good life! Indeed, Odin favors our Berk Island! We always live under the wings of God!"
"We are simply too lucky! Not only have we witnessed miracles, but we also enjoy the favor of God..."
There was no need to hide anything anymore, so Hiccup directly waved his hand and froze all the shouting soldiers into ice sculptures.
However, there were still soldiers who refused to yield, struggling to stand up and shouting loudly, "I will never betray..."
Before he could finish his sentence, he was frozen into an ice sculpture, maintaining his original posture. More and more soldiers were frozen into ice sculptures, and everyone present fell silent...
