Looking at Hiccup's expectant gaze.
"Clang."
Count Jonaf, clad in silver armor, knelt on one knee.
He pounded his chest plate with a fisted right hand and declared, "Your subordinate is willing to follow you to the death, Lord Emissary."
"No matter how powerful the enemy, your subordinate is willing to personally pluck his head and offer it to Lord Emissary."
Hiccup nodded faintly.
Then he slowly said, "Seeing your resolve, I am relieved."
"Now, immediately consolidate the army and prepare to depart."
"If we delay any longer, Draeger's army will likely flee."
Upon hearing this, Count Jonaf's confidence surged.
It seemed that Lord Emissary, even alone, could annihilate Draeger's entire army.
And he was merely there to deliver the finishing blow.
Count Jonaf quickly stood up and addressed his guard team, "Assemble the army at the fastest speed."
"Within half an hour, no, within ten minutes, I will personally lead the grand army into battle."
"Yes."
The guard team beside him quickly pounded their chest plates in acknowledgment.
Meanwhile, Night Fury, sitting beside Hiccup, looked bored at the scene within the castle.
Occasionally, its eyes would widen, attracted by some decorations.
Once it realized the decorations had no special purpose, it would return to Hiccup's side, looking dejected.
"Owoo~~"
Night Fury lifted its dark head and rubbed Hiccup's hand.
Its wronged little eyes seemed to say, "I'm so bored, I really want to go out and play."
Hiccup raised his hand and patted its head, then turned his gaze to the little fairy Anna in his pocket.
At this moment, Anna was quietly lying in Hiccup's pocket.
To say she was lying in his pocket, she was actually resting on that huge piece of dried fruit.
She dangled her little feet, occasionally taking a bite of the dried fruit.
Feeling Hiccup's gaze, she quickened her pace of eating the dried fruit.
Soon, ten minutes passed.
The guard team hurried back inside the castle.
They knelt on one knee, saluting Count Jonaf and saying, "Reporting, Lord Count, the grand army is ready."
"All the Knight Orders are awaiting your command."
Count Jonaf nodded in satisfaction, then turned and bowed to Hiccup, saying, "Please, Lord Emissary, issue the order to attack."
Hiccup slowly stood up and said, "Depart."
"As you command."
After Hiccup had walked a body length away.
Count Jonaf and his guard team dared to stand up and follow behind him.
Out of the castle gate.
Hiccup flipped onto Night Fury's back.
"Roar~~!"
Night Fury let out a joyful Dragon roar.
Then it carried Hiccup soaring into the sky, flying high above.
Count Jonaf, similarly assisted by the guard team, struggled quite a bit to climb onto the Dragon's back.
Although he had some fear of heights.
But in order to perform well in front of Hiccup.
He ultimately overcame his inner fear and rode the Dragon into the sky.
A thousand meters above the ground.
Overlooking the army below, ready for battle.
These soldiers, clad in dark black armor, were neatly arranged.
Their armor constantly reflected the sunlight.
Among them, several cavalrymen in bright silver armor moved back and forth through the army.
"All of you, pay attention!"
"This battle is for the glory of Lord Emissary."
"I hope that when you reach the battlefield, you must not be soft-hearted, nor must you feel fear."
"Because Lord Emissary is with us."
And these soldiers were filled with fervor by the words of these cavalrymen.
"Lord Emissary is with us!"
"Lord Emissary is with us!"
"Lord Emissary is with us!"
The reason these soldiers were so fanatical.
It was entirely because they were the soldiers who survived that battle.
In that battle, they personally witnessed the strength of Berk Island.
They personally witnessed Hiccup's abilities.
And they truly regarded Hiccup as a genuine Emissary of God from the bottom of their hearts.
Moreover, when they left Berk Island.
Each person received a bottle of recovery potion.
They had personally witnessed the effects of this recovery potion.
It was precisely because of this recovery potion that the death-defying warriors on Berk Island feared no death, possessed immense strength, and had limitless stamina.
So, as each person fanatically shouted, "Lord Emissary is with us!"
They all reached for the recovery potion in their bosom.
This made them feel their confidence multiply.
It also made them feel invincible.
Death would only entangle their enemies and had nothing to do with them.
Hiccup looked at the soldiers below, full of fighting spirit.
He raised his hand and patted Night Fury's head.
"Roar~!"
Night Fury directly spat out a blue-purple fireball.
It accurately struck the torch below.
The moment the torch burst into a roaring flame.
All the soldiers stared at the torch with fiery eyes.
Because they knew this was the signal for the war to begin.
All the soldiers on warhorses drew their greatswords from their waists and raised them above their heads.
They used all their strength to shout loudly, "All forces, attack!"
Upon hearing the command.
All the soldiers marched in neat steps, heading towards Draeger's territory.
As the soldiers moved, the earth trembled in their wake.
Even from a thousand meters away, the water cups on the table vibrated due to the ground's trembling.
And the people of Green Town also noticed the anomaly.
Their first reaction in their minds was.
"Could it be that some Lord Count is sending troops to kill the Dragon?"
"That's great, recently there have always been sightings of Dragons in Green Town."
"This time, the brave warriors sent by Lord Count will surely be able to kill the Dragon and protect the peace of Green Town."
"It's a pity I can't go along to kill the Dragon."
The people of Green Town discussed amongst themselves.
And while discussing which Count's Knight Order was braver, they walked onto the main street.
They wanted to catch a glimpse of these Knights.
Standing on the main street, they saw shining armor approaching them from afar.
"Oh, my goodness, they're so handsome, truly so handsome."
"Look, that's Count Jonaf's Knight Order."
"Count Jonaf's Knight Order personally slew hundreds of Dragons back then."
"And they even tamed quite a few Dragons, forming the Dragon Knight Legion to protect our Green Town."
"Why don't we see Count Jonaf's Dragon Knight Legion this time?"
The people on the street expressed their confusion.
In reality, they had no idea that Count Jonaf's Dragon Knight Legion had already been wiped out by Hiccup.
After all, in that battle, the Dragon Knight Legion was the first to be completely annihilated.
It would be strange if they could see it.
As time went on.
Count Jonaf's Knight Order drew closer and closer to Draeger's territory.
The soldiers standing on the city walls all felt the vibration, and they all stood on the watchtowers, looking out into the distance…
