The best trap for these Dragons is to set up ropes in advance and put bait inside.
However, these Dragons must be coming for revenge, so they won't enter the trap for bait like they usually do. Therefore, while ensuring there's bait, we also need to make sure they fall into the trap.
After much thought, Hiccup came up with the idea of using the fragments of Dragon eggs. If these fragments were pieced together, they would definitely lure those Dragons into the trap.
But there's no glue right now, so the first step is to find glue.
Immediately, Hiccup rode Night Fury and brought over all the collected eggshells. After arriving at Crow Ridge, he suddenly remembered that everyone was busy.
There were no spare troops to dig traps. Was he going to have to do it himself?
If he really had to do it himself, he didn't know how long it would take, and there probably wouldn't be enough time.
At this moment, Night Fury hopped and jumped in front of Hiccup, then tilted his head and looked at Hiccup with a silly, adorable expression, as if enjoying his furrowed brow.
Then he began to imitate Hiccup, even standing upright like a person in front of him, crossing his arms over his chest, tilting his head, and trying to squeeze the two fleshy parts of his forehead together.
"You silly Dragon!" Hiccup was so amused by its actions that he laughed.
Then his eyes suddenly lit up. Since Night Fury could imitate humans, other Dragons must be able to as well. In that case, they could completely use Dragons to dig traps and capture those Dragons!
Immediately, Hiccup patted Night Fury's paw and said, "Summon the Dragon Knight First Squad!"
"Roar~!"
Night Fury let out a Dragon roar with all his might.
In less than a minute, Astrid led the Dragon Knight First Squad to Hiccup.
"Attention!"
At Astrid's command, all Dragon Knights, including their Dragons, stood in standard posture, not daring to move or look away.
Then, Astrid walked to Hiccup with her head held high and chest out, saluted, and said, "First Squad assembled! Captain, please inspect!"
Looking at their strict discipline, Hiccup immediately thought of the original story, where each of them thought they were incredibly strong, never listened to orders, and acted on their own, causing many troubles.
Now it seems these people are strictly disciplined, and even these Dragons don't dare to cause trouble casually. Perhaps those future troubles will no longer appear.
When they drew lots for grouping, Snotlout was also in the First Squad. In the original story, this guy was always at odds with Hiccup, always looking for opportunities to belittle him.
But ever since Snotlout was severely injured by Hiccup last time and lay in bed for a month, he no longer dared to jump around in front of Hiccup!
Perhaps he was accumulating strength during training for future revenge, or perhaps he simply didn't dare to provoke him again.
Hiccup's gaze swept over every member, including every Dragon, and then he said, "Now, each of you lead these Dragons! Start digging traps!"
Although these Dragon Knights were full of questions, they dared not ask them at this moment.
Because they were members of the Dragon Knight Squad, and Hiccup was their captain, the only thing they could do was obey orders.
So everyone quickly searched for places on Crow Ridge where they could set traps, working together, human and Dragon, to quickly dig the traps.
Just as Hiccup was about to go find resin to glue all these eggshells together, Night Fury curiously licked an eggshell nearby, and then it stuck to another eggshell fragment.
Seeing this, Hiccup patted Night Fury's head and said, "You really do bring surprises every time!"
After everything was set up, Hiccup was very satisfied, because the footprints left on the scene were all Dragon footprints.
When those Dragons fly over here, they will definitely not suspect there's a trap.
"Roar~!"
Just as Hiccup was about to lead everyone to retreat, a Terror Dragon suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Roar~! Roar~!"
The Terror Dragon said to Hiccup, "That big idiot is looking for you! That big idiot is looking for you!"
After the Terror Dragon finished speaking, it licked its big eyes with its tongue.
Hiccup, of course, understood that the "big idiot" in the Terror Dragon's mouth was Gobber.
Because Gobber always threatened these Terror Dragons to make more toilet paper, and if they couldn't, he would boil them into soup.
Immediately, Hiccup patted the Terror Dragon's forehead, then flipped onto Night Fury's back. Before leaving, he said to the Dragon Knights in front of him, "Put these already glued eggshells into the traps! Then you can retreat!"
"Yes!"
Everyone in the Dragon Knight First Squad respectfully replied.
Hiccup rode Night Fury hastily to the Blacksmith Shop. He was guessing what the problem was.
After all, he had only been gone for less than two hours, and a new problem had arisen. What kind of problem could make them stop working...?
When Gobber saw Hiccup, he immediately burst out laughing and said, "Hahaha! Hiccup, you're finally back! Come and see! Look how many Bows and crossbows we've made!"
"These Bows and crossbows, combined with the Death Song Ballista, will definitely be able to wipe out an entire Dragon flock!"
Gobber said excitedly, and his face was already mottled with black and white spots.
Hiccup frowned slightly and said, "How many did you make! Why did you stop!?"
A Dragon Knight member nearby was cleaning up the mess. Gobber jumped over directly and said excitedly, "Of course, it's because there's no iron ore left, and no scrap iron either!"
"Hiccup, you've really done some great things. Those broken, unusable scrap irons have all come in handy now!"
"Come and see! There are one thousand three hundred and forty-eight Bows and crossbows here! That means one thousand three hundred and forty-eight spears! If these were on the battlefield, the warriors would definitely not lack weapons!"
Hiccup thought that there were at least tens of thousands of Dragons on Dragon Island. With these few Bows and crossbows, excluding those that missed completely, and those that didn't hit vital points, having one-third effective kills would be good enough!
Looking at Gobber's excited expression, Hiccup couldn't be subtle at all and said directly, "This is still not enough!"
Gobber looked at Hiccup with a shocked expression and asked, "This much isn't enough? What do you need these Bows and crossbows for!? Are you going to start a war?"
"Oh! Odin above! Skinny little Hiccup is actually going to start a war! This world is just too strange!"
