Both the Dragon Knights and their Dragon companions were ignited with the flames of battle, hovering in mid-air, their eyes fixed on the seven Terrible Terrors opposite them.
The seven Terrible Terrors, on the other hand, dared not charge forward; they were also observing, purely out of fear of the Bows and crossbows in their hands.
Looking at the wounds on their bodies, these seven Terrible Terrors covered themselves in flames, watching their wounds slowly heal.
"Roar~!"
The Dragon companions beneath the Dragon Knights had already begun to roar, just waiting for their Knight's command.
And while these Dragon Knights longed for battle, they were waiting for Hiccup's command, for they were disciplined Dragon Knights, not a scattered group of soldiers.
Hiccup had been watching how these Terrible Terrors dealt with their wounds; he saw that while their wounds were healing, the process was incredibly slow.
Immediately, he shouted loudly, "Quick victory!"
Upon receiving Hiccup's command, all the Dragon Knights charged directly towards the seven Terrible Terrors in front of them!
"Clang~~!"
Everyone drew their Dragon Slayer Swords, which were coated with the magical potion Hiccup had given them.
A faint blue light enveloped the Dragon Slayer Swords, making them seem like magical weapons; even from a distance, one could feel the sharpness of the Dragon Slayer Swords!
"Roar~!"
These seven Terrible Terrors naturally wouldn't back down; they charged towards the Dragon Riders, enveloped in flames, as if wanting to engage in close combat or even perish together.
The two sides clashed almost instantly; the Dragon Knights held the advantage in numbers, and the Timberjack Dragons were particularly skilled in close combat.
In the initial skirmish, the seven Terrible Terrors were instantly defeated. They dragged their injured Dragon bodies and flew towards another island.
The Dragon Riders wanted to pursue, but Hiccup immediately said, "Retreat!"
Upon hearing the command, everyone retreated in an orderly fashion, while Hiccup thought to himself, "I'm afraid these Dragons won't live much longer after they return!"
Immediately, he rode Night Fury towards Astrid and the others, grabbing the herbs Astrid had already packed in Night Fury's claws, and then retreated towards Berk Island.
After all, a battle had just erupted here, so they couldn't stay long, otherwise, a large number of Dragons would surely pursue them.
Looking at the herbs in his hand, Hiccup's lips curled slightly upward, and at the same time, he thought, "It seems team cooperation is the only way to collect resources both quickly and abundantly!"
Upon returning to Berk Island, all the villagers looked at the blood-stained Dragon Riders.
"Did Hiccup take the Dragon Knight Squad out to battle!?
"It must be! Everyone has bloodstains on them, and even scorched marks!"
"It seems this battle was very fierce! Snotlout even had his hair set on fire!"
Everyone was discussing the Dragon Knight Squad, but Hiccup paid no attention to these villagers. He directly led the Dragon Knight Squad and the day's spoils towards the Blacksmith Shop.
After all, if these blood-red flowers were not processed in time after leaving the soil, they would quickly wither, and their medicinal efficacy would be greatly reduced. Moreover, the Blacksmith Shop had all the necessary tools!
At this moment, a distressed Stoick was helping out in the Blacksmith Shop, hammering iron to vent his emotions, and also to talk with Gobber and distract himself.
Gobber smiled faintly and said, "If you keep hammering like that, this axe will be unusable!"
"I spent a long time making this mold, don't you dare break it!"
Stoick, however, frowned tightly, completely ignoring Gobber's grumbling. Instead, he continued to violently hammer the iron, muttering as he hammered, "Where do you think Hiccup took the Dragon Knight Squad!"
"Will they encounter cannibals? Will they encounter Dragon groups!? They can't possibly have taken these people to the Dragon Nest, right!?"
Gobber chuckled and said, "If you're really worried, then go follow them and see! I'm afraid you'd only be a hindrance to Hiccup right now!"
"Bang!" Stoick slammed down his hammer fiercely and roared, "When I was young, I could twist off a Terrible Terror's head, and I was the first young warrior on Bok Island!"
"Even now, I am still the chieftain of Bok Island, how could I be a hindrance!?"
Gobber just chuckled and didn't speak, because he knew he absolutely couldn't engage Stoick right now, otherwise, he would definitely go on and on endlessly.
If he didn't engage him now, then Stoick would be left to talk to himself, at most just breaking a few molds!
Indeed, Stoick was muttering to himself, and the force in his hands was getting stronger and stronger, looking at the sparks flying from the mold. Gobber kept muttering, "Didn't see it, didn't see it, I didn't see anything!"
"When Hiccup comes back, I'll definitely make him make me new molds!"
"Roar~!"
Just as Gobber's words fell, a Dragon roar immediately came from the sky.
Hearing such a familiar sound, Gobber's eyes widened instantly and he said, "Oh my god~! Odin must have heard my prayers, that's why he made Hiccup appear before me!"
"Bang~!"
Every Dragon landed violently, as if they had all learned this move from Night Fury.
Hiccup dismounted from Night Fury's back and commanded the Dragon Knights, saying, "Bring all the blood-red flowers over!"
Stoick saw Hiccup's figure, immediately threw down the tools in his hand, and walked towards Hiccup, wearing an apron.
Halfway there, looking at Hiccup who was giving orders, Stoick suddenly stopped, and couldn't help but think, "What should I say when I go over there!?"
"If I keep nagging, he'll definitely think I'm annoying! If I ask him where he went, what happened, he'll definitely find me annoying! If I ask him if he's hurt, he'll also definitely find me annoying!"
Thinking of this, Stoick froze in place, completely at a loss for words, and could only watch Hiccup directing the Dragon Knights who were busy at work.
Gobber chuckled and said, "Oh~! What do I see? A father worried about his child, who, upon finally seeing his child, doesn't know what to say!"
"If you really don't know what to say, or how to start, I can help you! Perhaps you don't know, the great Knight Gobber is just that helpful!"
Stoick looked at Gobber, his heart extremely conflicted, after all, the person in front of him was his own son...
