For the Vikings, the most important festival of the year was neither the New Year nor the celebration of the gods, but the last week of January in the Viking calendar when the snow melted and the earth warmed up.

At the end of the bitter winter, the Vikings hold the oldest and most traditional festival: the "Viking Fire Festival" - the Torch Festival.

The history of the Torch Festival can be traced back hundreds of years.

At that time, the Vikings from the Navian Islands were brave and good at fighting, and they rode dragon ships to fight everywhere. Whenever they were victorious, they held fire sacrifices to honor the dead Viking warriors and pray to the gods. This ancient festival has since continued to this day, and has also become a celebration of the long winter days and the beginning of spring.

Legend has it that the fallen Viking warrior and his ship will be immortalized in the flames and drift to the Valhalla Temple, where Odin, the legendary king of all, receives the heroic spirits.

Therefore, the climax of the annual Torch Festival is when everyone throws their torches on the dragon ship and burns a huge pirate ship. Then the people gathered around the campfire will sing and dance, singing and laughing to celebrate the arrival of spring.

Of course, in addition to the burning of dragon boats, the Torch Festival also holds a grand competition.

Fighting, equestrian, sailing, rowing, wrestling, swimming, archery, and sometimes even dragon slaying.

In the past, the Vikings maintained their fierce and courageous personalities through fierce competitive games, and at the same time selected more and more powerful Viking warriors.

Traditionally, the Torch Festival has always been financed by all the tribes and then held on Kings Island.

However, this year, when Grimm proposed to hold a festival on Dragon's Tongue Island, the leaders of the tribes immediately agreed without hesitation.

Because they are not as wealthy as Dragon Wing City, due to the early arrival of winter, they now have not much left, and if they use it for festival celebrations, then it will be really difficult.

......

Holding the horn helmet on his head, Hyde, the leader of the Crow Tribe, looked at the warm atmosphere in Xinghai Square, and curiously asked his old friend who walked towards the striding meteor, "Graham, do you know what this kid Green is going to do?"

"I heard that there is going to be an opening ceremony, I wonder if it will be a dragon knight's air show?"

Graham's expression was still flat, but the meaning of his words was that he remembered the last dragoon performance.

"No, I already asked when that kid picked me up with a Timberfelling Dragon...... He said that this time there will be something more exciting. As for what it was, he actually said that he wanted to keep it secret, which really me off. Hyde said this, grabbing his beard.

It's just that he said he was angry, but the smug expression on his face couldn't hide it - Albi tamed a timber-cutting dragon, which always made him feel more face-saving.

The corners of Graham's mouth twitched, and he cursed secretly, this old thing!

Because of Berserker's different ways of upbringing, his relationship with his two sons has never been very good. Douglas had tamed a flame madman a long time ago, but the relationship between the two of them had long since become strained.

As for his youngest son, Dodge, although he has tamed a "roaring dragon", it is absolutely impossible to ask him to pick him up. So even though he was the father of two dragon knights, he had never experienced what it was like to fly on a dragon until now.

Shaking off the stunned Hyde with a blank expression, Graham walked towards the building.

At the entrance to the building, they received leaflets from the Thorn Dragon Knights, who kept order on the grounds.

After reading the text on the flyer, Graham stroked his beard: Dragon Egg Tournament? seems to be very interesting......

When Hyde walked into the arena with his old friend, the stands inside the Dragon's Lair building were already filled with dense crowds.

In the middle of the square stood a tall mast, and at the top of the mast was a silver hemisphere.

Listening to the bosses around me, they are discussing the "Scarlet Guardian Troop", "Flame Tempest Sentaider", "Jedi Sentai Sentai", and "Screaming Reaper Sentai Sentai...... , Hyde, who looked confused, couldn't interject at all.

Because of the words on the leaflet, he didn't know any of them.

Patting his old friend on the shoulder, Hyde asked quietly, "What are they talking about?"

"It's about to start! You'll soon know. Graham looked up and said casually, then carefully studied the rules of the game.

Do you want to be so perfunctory? Hyde turned to the leader on the other side.

It's just that the leader is more perfunctory than Graham, he casually slipped his flyer to Hyde, and then continued to dance and talk to the people around him.

"Are you all crazy?"

Hyde looked at the ghost drawing on the paper and complained helplessly.

Thankfully, they entered the venue late and it didn't take long for the game to start.

First of all, the players were introduced and the rules were explained, and with Lagerlöf's explanation, Hyde realized that they were the four teams that people had just discussed so much.

The "Screaming Reaper Clan" with Green as the captain.

A "Jedi Sentai team" with Sam as the captain.

Led by Douglas, the "Flame Tempest Troop".

The "Scarlet Guardian Clan" captained by Lannister.

After listening to the introduction of the Scarlet Guardian team, Hyde looked at his old friend beside him with some amusement, "Graham, your two boys are really funny, they are not even on the same team, hahahaha~"

Graham gave him a blank look, and you laughed! Soon you won't be able to laugh.

Sure enough, when Hyde heard that Albi was playing as a chaser for the Flamewind team, he quickly shut his mouth.

According to the rules of the competition: five people per team. Two defenders, one main attacker, one secondary attacker, and one chaser.

Two different dragon eggs are used, a large dragon egg at the top of the mast and three small dragon eggs named "Silver Snitch".

The attacker is responsible for touching the golden dragon egg at the top of the mast, and each touch is awarded a point.

For some reason, the three dragon eggs will always guard the big dragon egg at the top of the mast from being touched, so the task of the defender is to protect the attacker from being attacked by the dragon egg, and three points will be deducted if hit once;

The chaser is the only person in the field who can touch the dragon egg, and if he catches one, he will score five points, and if he catches all three, the game will end, or when the time has reached two hours, the game will also end.

Therefore, it can be said that the chaser is a key player in every team, and usually holds the position of captain, while Albie's Pyromad team is captained by Douglas, who is the main attacker.

Hyde sighed helplessly, his kid was so angry.

After the rules are explained, it is time for the captain to draw lots.

Because of the time, the competition implements an elimination system.

Game 1: Screaming Grim Reaper Team VS Scarlet Guardian Team

It was only when all the players of the two teams appeared on the stage that the audience was a little dumbfounded to find that their queen, Her Majesty Victoria, had also ridden a snow-white flying dragon on the field.

Is this a Shenma situation?

Graham and Hyde looked at each other, there was no Her Majesty in the introduction of the team just now!
