Facing the idol's request, the two pirate soldiers in hooded cloaks trembled.
Their eyes looked at Dereg with almost fanaticism.
"What does the great Sea Overlord want with a big ship? Is he going to recruit soldiers again?"
"Believing in Lord Dereg's summons, countless pirates will surely come to him."
However, although the two pirate soldiers longed for it in their hearts, they dared not betray Grimmore.
Following a former king might allow them to rise again and gain endless treasures and women.
But betraying Grimmore would definitely be worse than death, having their flesh bitten off piece by piece by a Dragon.
Dereg looked at the two pirate soldiers in front of him with a deep gaze.
Just a single look seemed to press down on the two of them like two great mountains.
"What are you thinking? Hurry up and go."
"Yes, Lord Dereg."
The two soldiers in hooded cloaks swung their wide clothes and departed.
One remained to watch Dereg, while the other went to inform Grimmore of Dereg's request.
After Grimmore heard Dereg's request, the corners of his mouth slowly curved upwards.
"Hmph, does Dereg have no way out?"
"How ridiculous, without his Dragon King now, he's just a Toothless Dragon."
"Still thinking of recruiting soldiers again?"
While muttering to himself, Grimmore clinked his wine glass.
Suddenly, an idea flashed through Grimmore's mind.
"If I send Dereg to the kingdom, I should be able to exchange him for a million bounty."
But in the end, Grimmore rejected this idea.
Dereg still had value to him now.
"Dereg's reputation is still very useful; he can definitely gather a Dragon Hunting Group."
"The most crucial thing is that he can lead the way for me."
"I also want to see how powerful the last Night Fury in the world is."
After weighing the pros and cons, Grimmore smiled sinisterly and said, "Go, find Dereg a big ship."
"And assign fifteen elite Dragon Hunters to Dereg."
"Remember, the ship you find must be the fastest, and it must bear my Grimmore's flag."
The heart of the pirate soldier in the hooded cloak couldn't help but speed up.
Selecting fifteen Dragon Hunters to help Dereg recruit soldiers, wouldn't he also have a chance to follow Lord Dereg?
Witnessing the rise of a Sea Overlord with his own eyes—such a legendary experience would be enough for him to remember for a lifetime.
Even a bard might not have such an exciting adventurous life.
"Still not going?"
Grimmore looked at the stunned soldier and roared in a gloomy voice.
"Yes, Lord Grimmore."
The soldier in the hooded cloak quickly turned and left.
As he walked, he even felt a bit weak in the knees.
Walking on the soft sand, he almost fell.
"Roar~~"
A faint Dragon roar came, and the soldier in the hooded cloak suddenly startled awake, quickly ran to deliver the message back.
Dereg emerged from the dark, damp house, holding his hooked spear.
His robust physique, the prosthetic limb hidden behind his Dragon-skin cloak, and the gleaming hooked spear.
The aura of a king surged forth, every part captivating the eyes of the fifteen elite Dragon Hunters before him.
"Is that the hooked spear that summons the Dragon King?"
Dereg held the hooked spear and said, "I'm going to find the Savage Dragon Hunting Group; you lead the way."
"Savage Dragon Hunting Group?"
The fifteen elite Dragon Hunters present couldn't help but exclaim.
The Savage Dragon Hunting Group was the second largest Dragon Hunting Group on the sea, second only to the Sea Overlord Dereg in strength.
The only difference in their strength was that the Sea Overlord Dereg had a Dragon King that could control Dragon swarms.
The Savage Dragon Hunting Group, with five hundred thousand Dragon Knights, were all clad in elite armor, and even their Dragons were armed to the teeth.
Therefore, even though both Dragon Hunting Groups had a million-strong fleet, their strength rankings were still divided.
However, now that Dereg had lost his Dragon King, would the Savage Dragon Hunting Group still help him?
But being able to follow the Sea Overlord was also an honor.
So, the Dragon Hunters present all saluted in unison and said, "Yes, Lord Dereg."
The large ship set sail.
Grimmore's flag flapped loudly in the sea breeze.
Smaller Dragon Hunter ships along the way, upon seeing the flag, offered their highest respects.
The remaining ships, seeing the flag from afar, steered clear.
At the same time.
Hiccup stood on the cliff by the shore of Green Town, overlooking the rolling layers of waves.
Night Fury squatted beside Hiccup, not knowing what he was looking at.
Was he thinking of eating fish?
As time passed, Hiccup blew in the sea breeze, his hair fluttering in the wind.
Night Fury, bored, curled up into a ball on the ground, occasionally peeking at Hiccup.
"Roar~"
Night Fury let out a low growl.
Clearly, he was not pleased with Hiccup sitting on his back.
Moreover, Hiccup also reached out and pinched Night Fury's ear.
"Toothless, I have a feeling you're about to get a wife."
"Roar?"
Night Fury looked at Hiccup in confusion.
Clearly, his big, black head couldn't understand what a "wife" meant.
Nor did he understand what his getting a wife had to do with Hiccup pinching his ear.
Night Fury's dark green eyes were full of disdain.
Hiccup reached out and scratched Night Fury's neck twice.
Night Fury instantly raised his neck in enjoyment, constantly shifting into comfortable positions to be scratched by Hiccup.
"Huu-ha~ Huu-ha~"
Although the panting was very faint, it instantly made Night Fury alert.
Night Fury raised his head, constantly twitching his nose, and surveyed Hiccup's body back and forth.
"Toothless, no licking. If you dare to lick, you won't have dinner tonight."
"Roar!"
Night Fury bared his teeth at Hiccup, unsure if he was displeased with Hiccup's words or warily eyeing Hiccup's pocket.
At this moment, the little forest fairy Anna quietly poked her head out.
"Ah."
Anna had originally wanted to sneak out for some fresh air, but seeing Night Fury baring his teeth, she immediately let out a startled cry and hid back.
Hiccup lowered his head and glanced at the little forest fairy Anna, who was about as long as his finger, in his pocket, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly upwards.
He extended two fingers and took Anna out.
Anna trembled with fright, her small hands tightly covering her eyes.
"Can't see me, can't see me, can't see me."
Anna's transparent little wings behind her constantly quivered and shook.
Hiccup gently placed Anna in his palm.
"Phew~"
Hiccup blew a short breath, which ruffled the little forest fairy Anna's hair as if she had been caught in a fierce storm.
"Woo~~ Ugh~~"
"So stinky, so stinky."
Anna almost threw up directly.
Hiccup's face instantly darkened; he wasn't like that stupid Dragon Toothless, who never brushed his teeth.
For a moment, two pairs of eyes, one large and one small, met in the air.
