One after another, the warships raised their long sails, now bearing the insignia of Berk Island.
Rogue stood on the observation deck, facing the sea breeze, a fighting flame seemingly ignited in his eyes.
For glory, for the fleet, for family, this battle had to be fought.
Even if they couldn't land on Green Island, they had to establish the renown of Savage's Dragon Knight Regiment.
"Everyone, attention! Prepare the cannons."
"Bows and crossbows should conceal their positions and not be discovered by the enemy."
"Dragon Knights ascend and scout the enemy's positions."
As an experienced old captain, even when facing enemies several times his own, he showed no panic, and was able to issue commands in an orderly manner.
The soldier relaying the orders was like a monkey, using a gangplank to jump from the deck of one ship to another.
And he shouted out the captain's orders at the top of his lungs.
Looking from afar in the sky, the ships, which had been tightly guarding each other, began to scatter in various directions.
The Vikings on the ship were all battle-hardened veterans, each holding a short axe, their eyes filled with murderous intent as they watched the warships cutting through the waves from a distance.
Rogue's fleet had already formed a battle formation, waiting for the main ship's cannon to fire, which would signal the attack.
"Careful, it's a Night Fury."
"There really is such a cunning Dragon as a Night Fury in this world."
"There's someone on the Dragon's back, it should be their Knight."
"Don't move, wait for orders."
Rogue squinted his eyes, hidden beneath his thick eyebrows, staring at the Night Fury that whistled past like lightning.
As the Night Fury flew past, its vertically slit pupils also stared at Rogue on the observation deck.
At the same time, the Night Fury was also waiting for orders.
As soon as Hiccup gave the command, he could instantly spit out a fireball, hitting the enemy while also becoming invisible within the fireball.
These weapons couldn't possibly harm it.
The Night Fury circled the main ship once, and the Bows and crossbows on board swung their huge Bows and crossbows, following the Night Fury's flight path in a circle.
The old soldier's face was flushed, a stark contrast to his grizzled beard.
Finally, he regretfully realized that he was indeed old, and simply couldn't move the Bows and crossbows as quickly as he could in his youth.
"Roar~!"
The Night Fury let out a Dragon roar, and Hiccup, from high in the sky, performed a backflip and landed steadily on the deck.
Originally, he had planned to directly send soldiers to defeat this fleet with numerical superiority.
But then he saw that the ships were full of old soldiers.
From the enemy's perspective, these old soldiers might just be useless cannon fodder, used to deplete their strength.
But from Hiccup's perspective, these old soldiers were true treasures.
Hiccup landed on the deck, his cloak billowing violently in the sea breeze behind him.
A group of fierce-looking old soldiers, holding broken swords and short axes, surrounded him.
"Hey, who are you?"
"Seeing you're young, we can spare your life. Leave the Night Fury and get lost."
"I haven't eaten Night Fury meat yet."
These old soldiers proudly believed that they would definitely be able to kill the Night Fury today.
"Roar~!"
The Night Fury, like a cannonball, swooped down from the sky accompanied by a Dragon roar.
"Bang~! Snap!"
The entire warship let out a huge sound, its bow seemingly pressed into the sea, its stern rising high, and then crashing heavily back onto the surface of the sea.
Due to the immense inertia, these old soldiers rolled like barrels from the stern to the bow, and then rolled back again.
A few old soldiers clutched desperately at the mast.
Hiccup, however, stood safely on the deck, the Night Fury squatting behind Hiccup, baring its sharp teeth, looking ferociously at the Vikings in front of him.
Rogue quickly walked over, staring at Hiccup.
"As expected of a young leader, daring to appear on my ship with a Dragon."
Rogue had long known that the leader of Green Town possessed a Night Fury, and had even defeated Draeger and his Dragon King Alpha.
He waved his hand, and all the Vikings put down their weapons.
Hiccup didn't waste words and spoke directly: "No Dragon hunting group would send a fleet composed of old soldiers to attack me."
"Clearly, you are just cannon fodder."
As soon as the words "cannon fodder" left his mouth.
These Vikings immediately widened their eyes, wishing they could rush over and directly hack Hiccup to death.
"Roar~!"
The Night Fury opened its large mouth, and a deep blue fireball instantly condensed.
Everyone present, except Hiccup, felt their cheeks burning, as if they had been placed in a frying pan, their grizzled beards and hair already starting to curl.
Some people's clothes even caught fire due to too much grease.
Rogue stood his ground, his figure tall and straight, looking at Hiccup.
Hiccup patted the Night Fury, and the Night Fury immediately extinguished the fireball.
In just a few seconds, a single fireball made these old soldiers wary.
This was absolutely the strongest Dragon they had ever encountered in their Dragon hunting careers, without a doubt.
Rogue stared at Hiccup and asked, "What do you want to say?"
Hiccup crossed his arms and said directly, "Join Berk Island, and I will give you the best treatment."
"At the very least, you won't be cannon fodder anymore."
"Why do you think we should trust you?"
"Of course, by my strength."
"I admit, our fleet isn't as strong as yours, but that doesn't mean we'll surrender." After saying that, Rogue snorted and said, "I'm afraid when we surrender and disembark, your people will immediately shoot us."
"After all, no one wants to keep a group of old burdens."
Hiccup shook his head and said, "No, you're overthinking it. If I say you're useful, you definitely will be."
"As for whether you surrender or not, it doesn't matter, because I alone can wipe out your entire fleet."
The Vikings immediately burst into laughter.
"Even though I'm old, with so many of us, can't we kill you and your Dragon?"
As his voice fell, all the giant Bows and crossbows were already aimed at Hiccup and the Night Fury.
Hiccup calmly raised his hand, and a snowflake-shaped ice crystal condensed in his palm.
Everyone looked at the ice crystal in Hiccup's hand with mesmerized eyes, as if looking at a rare treasure.
At the same time, they also felt the surrounding temperature rapidly dropping, and couldn't help but shiver.
"Huh? Why isn't our ship moving?"
No matter how big or heavy a ship, it would sway with the waves in the sea, but they suddenly felt as if they were standing on land, even though they were on a ship.
"Oh my god, this sea area has turned into an ice surface."
"Our ship can't move."
"What should we do? The enemy is about to close in."
Rogue, who had been fearless, finally felt fear at this moment.
And it was a fear from the bottom of his heart; his entire body was trembling.
As he spoke, his pure white beard also trembled.
"You, you, you're a high-level ice mage?"
