But now there was no time to worry about that; with a major battle imminent, even if there were dangers in the sea, he wouldn't enter the ocean during the upcoming fight.
After all, he needed to command from the rear, oversee the entire battlefield, and guard against any enemy deception.
Meanwhile, the White-robed Siren, hidden in the sea, held a bone knife and watched the direction Hiccup had departed.
The reason she hadn't acted just now was that no one could detect her when she was still; however, once she made a move, the Hot Pot Dragon would sense her aura.
Moreover, there was a pure-blooded Red Death by Hiccup's side, which made her extremely wary.
What's more, during her recovery magic, she had seen that Hiccup also possessed magic, and if she couldn't strike a decisive blow, her life or death would be uncertain.
She still didn't know Hegna's whereabouts, so she couldn't act rashly.
Furthermore, from the intelligence gathered these past few days, this island was about to experience a war, a large-scale one at that.
She could completely take advantage of the chaos to search for Hegna's whereabouts, or even directly eliminate that human to avenge the Sea Clan's Sacred Beast.
Of course, all of this was her beautiful fantasy; she could only wait quietly for the opportune moment in the sea.
As time passed, John finally appeared on the horizon with his fleet.
Upon receiving the news, all warships on Bok Island set out, but the warships did not move as a single unit; instead, they followed their respective trajectories, leading the Hot Pot Dragon from various directions.
Hiccup said to Astrid, "Immediately send all the Death Warriors to the two islands!"
Of course, before setting off, Hiccup still had to give them a pep talk via broadcast, saying, "You are warriors chosen by Odin! You have also undergone the baptism of holy water!"
"So you absolutely cannot disappoint Odin! At the same time, don't forget, before the battle begins, immediately drink the holy water bestowed upon you by Odin! Only then can you become invulnerable and invincible!"
"Long live Odin! Long live Odin!"
"We swear to serve Lord Odin until death!"
"It is the greatest honor of our lives to fight for Lord Odin on the battlefield!"
These Death Warriors cheered enthusiastically, continuously banging on their armor.
Then Hiccup addressed them, saying, "All troops, listen to my command! Depart!"
Thereafter, the Dragon Riders ascended into the sky, taking these Death Warriors directly to the two islands of the first line of defense.
On these two islands, the Four-Headed Dragon had already prepared for battle, continuously emitting an alluring fragrance.
After training, these Death Warriors had long become immune to this scent, so they wouldn't be affected.
John directly relayed messages to Hiccup via the Terror Dragon, informing him which ships the nobles and pirate leaders were on!
After all, besides drinking with them these past few days, John had been visiting their ships to gather intelligence.
A fleet of 700,000 people was indeed no small number; although the warships varied in size and their arrangement was chaotic, such a large-scale fleet delivered an absolutely stunning visual impact.
These fleets had no idea that beneath the surface of the sea, tens of thousands of Hot Pot Dragon and Thunderdrum Dragon had already gathered...
Hiccup, on the other hand, led the Dragon Riders, hidden above the clouds, observing the direction of the fleet below with a telescope.
After John's fleet had separated from their main force and pulled back a sufficient distance,
Hiccup directly commanded all the Dragon Riders, "Fire!"
At this command, all the Dragon Riders in the sky revealed themselves and then precisely spat huge fireballs at the ships below.
"Boom boom boom! Boom boom boom!"
"Boom boom boom! Boom boom boom!"
With over three thousand Dragon spitting fireballs simultaneously, the entire sky seemed to rain fire.
The fireballs landed on the ships, instantly burning large holes in the smaller vessels, which visibly began to sink.
As for the larger warships, especially those belonging to nobles, they naturally had defensive measures.
When the fireballs landed on these ships, they only ignited flames and did not directly sink them.
When Hiccup saw this scene, he murmured to himself, "This opponent's strength is indeed a bit formidable! But it still can't change their fate!"
The sky was already ablaze with combat, and the fleet below, after enduring a wave of fire rain,
All nobles who had Dragon Riders dispatched them.
"Immediately go and bring those Dragon Riders down for me!"
"These suicidal fools dare to ambush us! Today, we must teach them a lesson!"
"Leave the strongest Dragon to me; I will personally twist off its head and present it to Lord John!"
"Roar~! Roar~!"
The Dragon Riders in the sky let out a furious roar and then charged towards the enemy.
After all, this was the first time the Dragon Riders of Berk Island were fighting against regular Dragon Riders!
Because these nobles came from the kingdom, and their Dragon Riders had undergone formal training, their combat power was simply incomparable to that of the Dragon Riders from Thunder Island.
At this moment, on the sea, because several small warships were sunk, a small-scale chaos occurred, but it could not stop the advance of the large warships.
Half of the 700,000-strong fleet consisted of noble armies, and the number of Dragon Riders was at least over twenty thousand.
Hiccup, on the other hand, had only over four thousand Dragon Riders behind him; if a full-scale battle were to erupt, he would not only face five times his own military strength but also have to guard against combat in the sea.
Fortunately, he had prepared early; the Dragon Riders hidden in the sea had already begun to move.
And those fleets seemed to be merely sightseeing, not taking Hiccup and his Dragon Riders seriously at all, even stopping their ships to watch the excitement.
After all, in their eyes, their side had a numerical advantage, and their weaponry was incomparable to that of pirates; in their subconscious, they had already regarded Hiccup and his Dragon Riders as pirates.
So, none of these people noticed the changes on the sea, all enthusiastically watching the battle in the sky.
Meanwhile, the Thunderdrum Dragon silently carried the Vikings, applying the already prepared kerosene gel to these people's warships!
This substance was typically used by the Terrible Terror for self-ignition; it was not only difficult to extinguish with seawater but also had an extremely high temperature.
Hiccup had already sent John to check the defensive capabilities of these ships, and the results were largely what he had expected.
These people all believed that Dragon attacked from the sky downwards, so they placed all their defenses on the decks and sails, but the bottom of the ship was not fireproof at all!
Hiccup shouted to all the Dragon Riders, "Finish them quickly!"
