"Roar~~!"
Toothless let out a joyful roar.
Its tail fin created a long, massive wave on the sea surface.
Clearly, Toothless cherished this moment alone with Hiccup.
"Splash~!"
Before Hiccup could react, Toothless had already plunged into the sea with him.
Like a mermaid, it quickly twisted a few times.
Then it swiftly burst out of the sea.
And then, like a drill, it plunged back into the sea.
"Gurgle gurgle~~"
In the vast ocean, Toothless even playfully blew bubbles.
Hiccup was utterly speechless.
These were all training exercises for those Dragon Knights at sea.
As a result, Toothless had learned all of them.
Now, it was like a mischievous child showing off to him.
Hiccup was also curious when Toothless had learned to swim.
In the original story, Toothless couldn't swim at all.
Hiccup pointed towards the sea surface, signaling it to fly out quickly.
Toothless pressed its wings tightly against its body, twisting its body like a mermaid.
Then it flapped its wings forcefully, using buoyancy to fly directly out of the water.
"Cough cough~"
Clearly, Hiccup had choked on some water due to Toothless's sudden plunge into the sea.
Meanwhile, on a lookout tower not far away, two lazy soldiers were rubbing their eyes.
"I'm not mistaken, am I? That's actually a Night Fury."
"Impossible, absolutely impossible. There are no Night Furies left in the world."
"Could this be the last surviving one in the world?"
"If we could catch that Night Fury, we could definitely sell it for a good price."
"Of course. This is the last Night Fury; it could definitely sell for 100,000 gold coins."
The two soldiers grew more and more excited as they spoke.
They both picked up the horns beside them and blew them loudly.
"Whoo~~ Whoo~~"
These two soldiers directly blew the emergency assembly horn.
And lit the bonfire on the lookout tower.
Soldiers on another lookout tower saw the bonfire lit on the foremost lookout tower.
They believed it was an emergency.
They also quickly lit the bonfires beside them.
Thick black smoke and scorching flames all appeared in an instant.
The self-defense force on Dawn Island all took up their weapons and guarded the seashore.
"Who on earth has such guts to dare attack Dawn Island?"
"Could it be soldiers from the Northern Kingdom? It must be that crazy woman's idea again."
"It's been a long time since anyone dared to provoke Dawn Island. This time, we must make sure they don't return."
"Roar!"
Suddenly, someone riding a fully armed Dragon landed on the seashore lookout tower.
"What exactly happened? Where are the enemies? Why did you light the bonfire?"
Because the Dragon Knights on Dawn Island had patrolled around and found no trace of enemies.
So they thought these two soldiers had carelessly lit the bonfire by mistake.
The two soldiers prostrated themselves at the Dragon's feet.
Feeling the Dragon's breath, they trembled with fear.
They knew very well that if this Dragon spat out a single flame, they would both turn to ashes.
"Lord Jay, please don't be angry. We discovered a Night Fury."
"Yes, yes, we really weren't mistaken. That was a Night Fury."
"Hmph! Do you two take me for a fool? Night Furies have long been extinct. How could there still be one?" Jay said angrily.
The two soldiers couldn't prove themselves.
They could only silently pray in their hearts for Toothless to appear quickly and prove their words were true.
"Roar~!"
At this moment, Toothless was carrying Hiccup, soaring through the clouds.
And when Toothless landed, it suddenly spat out a blue-purple fireball.
It instantly turned invisible with Hiccup for a short distance, then reappeared.
This Dragon roar immediately attracted Jay's attention.
"It really is a Night Fury."
Jay said in disbelief.
The two soldiers also quickly looked up.
They saw a Night Fury flying freely in the sky.
"Lord Jay, look! There's a person on that Night Fury's back."
"What a lucky Dragon Knight. If he sells the Night Fury, he won't just be well-fed and clothed, but he'll also own a large piece of land."
"Then he can also have his own Knight legion and possess a large farm and maids."
Clearly, these two soldiers were so envious they were incoherent.
Jay immediately blew the exquisite, palm-sized horn at his waist.
"Toot~~~"
Clearly, Jay's horn sound was different from that of ordinary soldiers.
His horn sound was meant to rally all the fully armed Dragon Knights on Dawn Island.
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
The Dragons, hearing the horn sound, all roared.
Then, along the coastline of Dawn Island, one fully armed Dragon after another soared into the sky.
They all headed towards the foremost lookout tower.
Toothless naturally heard the roars of these Dragons.
It immediately cast a puzzled gaze.
Its big emerald eyes and adorable expression made Hiccup a bit speechless.
"Toothless, why don't you charge!"
However, Toothless actually had the thought of running away.
It constantly flapped its wings, retreating backward.
Hiccup felt a little sad.
It seemed he had neglected Toothless for too long.
Making a former Dragon King actually start to fear battle.
"Toothless, with me here, don't be afraid!"
"Charge through! Knock all their Dragon Knights into the sea."
However, Toothless tilted its head, looking at Hiccup.
Then it shook its head rapidly, and when it shook its head, its two huge black ears also moved in the opposite direction because of the violent shaking.
Hiccup said helplessly, "Don't be afraid! Charge!"
However, Toothless quickly changed direction and fled at its fastest speed.
Its speed, which it had always been proud of, had always been used to pursue enemies.
Now it was being used to escape.
It felt somewhat like a hero's downfall.
But even if Toothless wanted to escape, the Dragon Knights on Dawn Island wouldn't let it go.
For them, this was not only the last surviving Night Fury in the world.
It also meant a huge fortune.
A fortune enough to allow them to own their own territory.
As they pursued on their Dragons, they even began to fantasize about their wonderful future lives.
"Roar!"
Seeing that the distance was almost right.
The Dragon Knights on Dawn Island began to command their Dragons to spit fireballs to attack.
Although their aim wasn't accurate.
It was enough to make Toothless seem a little flustered.
Because dodging consumed the most energy.
Hundreds of Dragon Knights began to surround and intercept from all directions.
Hiccup helplessly folded his arms, sitting quietly on Toothless's back.
"Toothless, how long are you going to run?"
"What's meant to come will always come, and what needs to be faced must ultimately be faced."
"Some problems cannot be avoided just by running away."
However, Toothless had no time to listen to Hiccup's words; in its mind, there were only the words "run away"...
