In just a few days, its Dragon Nest had been bombed twice.
Let alone a short-tempered Dragon, even a human would be hopping mad in such a situation.
And each time, it didn't know who had bombed it, which made Red Death feel like it had nowhere to direct its strength.
"Roar~~~!"
"Roar~~~~~~~~!"
From inside the cabin, one could clearly hear Red Death letting out roar after roar in the sky.
And Hiccup, who understood Dragon Language, heard Red Death saying, "Who dares to challenge the brave, fearless, bloodthirsty... Dragon King!"
Red Death itself struggled to utter a whole string of fabricated titles, and Hiccup found it even harder to translate; some words even he, with his level ten Dragon Language proficiency, couldn't understand.
However, no matter how furiously it roared, Hiccup absolutely wouldn't go out. After all, the volcanic ash outside hadn't dispersed yet.
To wait for the volcanic ash to dissipate a bit would probably take two or three hours, and only then could they go out with their specialized helmets.
After all, the Viking Warriors weren't cartoon characters; they were living, breathing people, and inhaling too much volcanic ash could easily kill them!
Time passed by minute by minute, and the people in the cabin only heard the explosions and felt the warship shake; they knew nothing about the outside world.
Although everyone was eager to go out and fight, they were all waiting for orders.
In the pitch-black cabin, the darkness made them even more restless.
Finally, someone couldn't help but ask, "Hiccup. When exactly are we going out to fight?"
"That's right! I've been waiting impatiently! We can't just hide here forever, can we!"
"What exactly happened? Why aren't you letting us go out to fight?"
Seeing the negative emotions of these people growing, Hiccup calmly said, "In another hour! We can go out and fight!"
Upon hearing this answer, all the Viking Warriors were somewhat speechless, but they could only silently endure it.
Because Dragon Knights were interspersed among them, influenced by these Dragon Knights, each of them dared not disobey orders even more.
Besides, they had already waited this long, what's another hour?
The reason for making them wait a little longer was, firstly, to allow the volcanic ash to disperse further, and secondly, to allow them to recover more stamina.
The cabin easily accommodated these people without feeling crowded, so everyone was resting.
An hour later, Hiccup slightly opened a crack in the cabin door. Immediately, specks of volcanic ash drifted in through the gap.
"Everyone put on your helmets! Prepare for battle!" As his voice fell, Hiccup directly pushed open the cabin door.
Night Fury leaped out first, then waited for Hiccup to sit on its neck.
"Roar~!"
One could see many Dragons flying around Dragon Island in the sky. They were reluctant to leave.
Perhaps for these Dragons, this volcano was their home, their source of survival, and they couldn't easily leave.
Or perhaps it was because Red Death scared them into not daring to leave, fearing that no matter where they hid, they would be devoured by Red Death.
The Dragon Knight Squad quickly ascended, flying directly towards the Dragons in the sky. Each person held Bows and crossbows, accurately and fiercely shooting the wings of these Dragons with their Bows and crossbows.
After these Dragons lost their balance, they quickly fell to the ground; those with bad luck were directly impaled by wooden stakes, and even those with good luck who narrowly escaped would be directly captured alive by the Viking Warriors.
Stoick, riding Terrible Terror, wanted to join the battle. Hiccup directed Night Fury to deal with a Dragon in front of them, then came to Stoick's side and said, "Father! Go back immediately and set up the Death Song Ballista!"
Although he was the chieftain and was unwilling to obey Hiccup's orders, he could only return to the warship now and set up the Death Song Ballista.
Looking at the Death Song Ballista, gleaming with cold light, Stoick's eyes widened in shock.
At the same time, he couldn't help but murmur, "One shot from this could probably pierce a Dragon straight through! An ordinary small boat would also be unable to withstand an arrow!"
"The fifty Death Song Ballista on this warship, as long as the Bows and crossbows are sufficient! Can completely withstand a fleet of ten thousand men!"
At this moment, another roar of a Dragon came from the sky.
The Dragon Knight Squad began to retreat towards the warship. All the Viking Warriors had already set up their Death Song Ballista, but within their attack range.
Their targets were blocked by the members of these Dragon Knight Squad, so they were all silently calculating the distance, while also aiming at their respective targets.
Hiccup shouted, "Kill!"
After Stoick received Hiccup's order, he immediately shouted to all the Viking Warriors, "Fire!"
Hiccup led the Dragon Knight Squad in a rapid dive, just like in their usual training. They dodged the incoming Bows and crossbows and returned to the warship for replenishment.
Everyone replaced the Bows and crossbows in their miniature repeating crossbows with new Bows and crossbows boxes and applied magic potions.
And those pursuing Dragons, like dumplings falling into a pot, dropped from the sky in rows.
Most of the fallen Dragons lost their breath directly, without even a chance to struggle.
Such a large-scale battle immediately attracted the attention of Red Death, not because the outside noise was too loud, but because it noticed that fewer and fewer Dragons were returning after the volcano stabilized.
"Roar~~!"
To prevent its Dragon Nest from being bombed again, Red Death directly smashed through the crater and flew out!
Watching the sky-obscuring Red Death rush into the sky, Stoick and all the Viking Warriors couldn't help but exclaim again, "Oh my god~!"
"By Odin! Is this the messenger of Hell's Gate hidden behind Hell's Gate?"
"Is the place we came to not a Dragon Nest but Hell?"
"Oh my god! Why are there such huge Dragons in this world? How can we fight this?"
"It's over, it's over! Everything is over! Such a huge Dragon, it's even bigger than the warship! We can't win!"
Expressions of despair appeared on the faces of all the Vikings, all of them shocked by Red Death's enormous size.
It felt like ordinary people seeing a skyscraper come alive; a slight movement could crush them, hence the feeling of utter powerlessness.
With morale currently low, they absolutely couldn't be allowed to give up now.
So Hiccup, riding Night Fury, shouted loudly to the Vikings present in mid-air, "Adventure is the nature of Vikings! Battle is the mission of Vikings! Vikings charge forward, never retreating!"
This roar immediately attracted the attention of all the Viking Warriors, and the flames of battle reignited in their originally disheartened eyes!
