A single ship can do a lot of damage, you know. Knock down buildings, kill vikings. It might not be the fall of a tribe or anything, but it can certainly be enough to cause some concern. That's exactly why I sent one out to Berk. While we were on the ships, twins came into my spyglass view and I knew my plan had worked. By targetting Berk, it messed with the riders' heads and made them sloppy. My Berserkers and I had already spotted them before and this was the finishing touch. Maybe I couldn't find Heather yet, but I'd find their base and that would be one thing marked off my to-do list.
I mentioned to Savage that he had doubted me and the plan still succeeded. He had to say that he didn't. Technically, no he didn't. But, come on. It's a saying, Savage! Loosen up! There were more important matters to tend to at the time, though. Like scouring the estimated area and finding that "Dragon's Edge". We started on that at once.
After some good searching, he found the base.[laughs] There were about a dozen ships with us! We attacked the riders, mercilessly. Hiccup and that Night Fury blasted one of my ships and one of my Berserkers alerted me to some more party guests arriving. I knocked him off the boat for a better look and saw Stoick and Astrid flying in.
They attacked more ships, but Stoick was brought down with a catapult-net. I was so proud of my vikings. We shot some bolas at Hiccup, but he kept avoiding them. So annoying, that guy. Astrid flew by us and her Deadly Nadder shot some spines. I blocked it with a shield and picked up a launcher. Said launcher shot out a chain that got the dragon by its leg. You'd think that it would be more supple.
Astrid skidded down the chain and tried to fight me. I, easily, deflected her angry attacks and my Berserkers forced her arms behind her.[laughs] Astrid's not as good as she thinks she is! I didn't need the other, though, since I could've just killed her, myself, but a victory is a victory. I reeled my ax back and prepared to make at least two Astrids.
A blast stopped me. It was that stupid Gustav kid that I had tried to kill earlier. Too bad I didn't.[grumbles] More dragon riders came up and attacked. Those slimy, little cheaters. I have a certain amount of Berserkers and they have a certain amount of dragon riders. It's only fair that our war stay between those exact vikings. You can't bring in help. Even the old, medicine lady had a dragon! Seriously?!
Savage insisted that we retreat and I knew that we had to. We were..outmatched, sadly. I wasn't going to let them destroy anymore of our possessions, so with a departing yell at Hiccup, we left. [yells in frustration] I was so mad! Although, this did give me an idea. If Hiccup was going to have more vikings to help him, I would have the same.
