These people chose the Dragons that were most suitable for them based on their different military branches.
Of course, most of these Dragons were offensive, with only a very small number responsible for logistics and transport.
Moreover, these soldiers were unwilling to stay behind and ensure logistics.
Even if there was a situation where they were vying for the same Dragon, they could resolve it quickly.
Now, with a major war imminent, there was no time for these newly promoted Dragon Knights to undergo training.
Nor could they be allowed to join the veteran teams.
After all, these initial Dragon Knights cooperated tacitly with each other.
Even if they were disbanded and reorganized, they could adapt to each other well.
If these new recruits were to join, they would not only hinder the veterans but also disrupt the formation.
After a war ended, they might even seek private revenge.
Hiccup originally thought that after these new recruits chose their Dragons, there would be no differentiation.
However, he overlooked the fact that there was no unified Dragon King.
Therefore, within the new recruit camp, an old Dragon camp and another new recruit camp emerged.
Helplessly, Hiccup could only pat Toothless's head and say, "Toothless! I can't be with you these next few days."
He originally thought Toothless would be sad and disappointed.
But Toothless bounced around Hiccup.
It was as if he was saying he could finally have a vacation.
Hiccup was a bit speechless and directly pulled the single-person flying device to appear at the volcano's crater.
"Yaya!"
Hearing Hiccup's summons.
Yaya's enormous body immediately burst forth from the volcano.
Between its scales, there was still some magma sliding down the crevices.
"Roar~~!"
Yaya twisted its head while roaring loudly.
It was clear that it was very excited about Hiccup's arrival.
At the same time, its six snow-white vertical pupils were searching for Toothless's whereabouts.
When it saw Toothless playing and bouncing around with the newly hatched Dragon babies.
It instantly lost its hostility towards him. It even felt pity in its heart.
Then, Yaya affectionately leaned its head over.
Hiccup once again pulled the single-person flying device, landing steadily on Yaya's head.
"Roar~!"
Yaya let out a long roar towards the sky.
All the Dragons, upon hearing the command, gathered together.
This time, they all carried their Knights on their backs.
Due to the sheer number of soldiers, most of them could only watch as the Knights with Dragons ascended into the sky.
This time, Hiccup would personally lead all the Dragon Knights in training.
And with Yaya's cooperation, the new recruit training went exceptionally smoothly.
The Dragon Knights belonging to Skadi's side were personally trained by Volka.
Moreover, this time, Stoick also participated.
The couple's relationship rapidly warmed, and they happily discussed the day's training results every day.
Stoick even excitedly patted Hiccup's shoulder and said, "If Draeger dares to come back now! I'll personally twist off his head and give it to the most beautiful and brave Valkyrie, Volka!"
"Hiss~~"
Hearing such an awkward declaration of love, Hiccup couldn't help but gasp.
He even felt goosebumps starting to appear on his body.
Stoick, on the other hand, felt that this was nothing more than the most ordinary words.
After Volka heard this, the smile on her face became even brighter, and she even responded to Stoick.
"Then I'm truly looking forward to it! My brave and great Leader!"
The couple, one word after another, praised each other, just like lovers in the midst of a passionate romance.
No matter how Hiccup looked at it, he felt completely superfluous.
So Hiccup directly returned to the broadcast station, giving them space to be together.
"Soldiers without Dragons, gather by the sea!"
The originally disheartened soldiers became excited once again upon hearing this command.
Toothless carried the speaker for Hiccup and arrived at the seashore of Berk Island.
Hiccup directly said to the soldiers in front of him, "I want each of you not only to be able to swim but also to learn to dive!"
"Today's goal! Hold your breath underwater for three minutes!"
"Everyone ready! Jump!"
Upon hearing Hiccup's command, these soldiers jumped into the sea without hesitation, all burying their heads in the water.
These soldiers, after all, grew up at sea and relied on the ocean for survival.
Therefore, their breath-holding time underwater was generally very long.
Even so, oxygen tanks must still be made.
Although this was a world of magic, the Mermaid's demonic pearl could also serve to repel water.
However, the number of soldiers was simply too great, unless thousands of Mermaids could be slaughtered.
And they would also need to use absolute force to capture Mermaids alive and extract their demonic pearls.
Otherwise, those Mermaids would definitely choose to self-destruct their demonic pearls to release the power of curses.
Three minutes passed quickly.
But still no soldiers surfaced!
Because they didn't know how much time had passed, only that they could still hold on for a while.
Hiccup, seeing that the time had already passed, did not call them out.
He also wanted to see where the limit of these soldiers was.
After about 5 minutes, some people surfaced.
The one who held out the longest reached 17 minutes and 26 seconds.
Hiccup was very satisfied with the abilities of these people.
Afterward, according to the original organization, he had their captains lead their subordinate soldiers in breath-holding practice.
Additionally, he ordered all the craftsmen on Berk Island to start making oxygen tanks.
With the help of oxygen tanks, coupled with their own breath-holding ability, they could completely hide in the seawater for more than 5 hours.
This way, in the future, when facing attacks from the Mermaid race, they would not always be in a passive defensive state.
While they were training, Hiccup ordered the Dragon Knight Squad to place all the blue oleander in the square.
These blue oleander were originally used to feed the Hot Pot Dragons.
And they were also the only bridge for Berk Island to establish a cooperative relationship with the Hot Pot Dragons.
However, Hot Pot Dragons had a characteristic: it was impossible for them to have a Knight riding on their necks.
So Hiccup prepared to use the Blood Sacrifice from Dragon Magic!
He would engrave unique curses on these blue oleander. Any Hot Pot Dragon that did not obey commands would eventually turn into a pool of blood.
Of course, feeding so many Hot Pot Dragons would certainly not be enough with just his own blood.
So Hiccup directly called Yaya.
Wielding the Dragon Slayer Sword, he left a wound on Yaya's front paw.
There was a blood connection between Yaya and Hiccup, so they could naturally understand each other's thoughts.
And Yaya firmly believed that Hiccup would never harm it.
Dark red blood quickly flowed out from Yaya's wound.
Then it flowed along the magic circle that had already been drawn.
Until the blood completely covered all the channels on the magic circle.
