A/N: In this chapter, the Vikings discuss not only which battles they should choose to fight and how they react to the news that not only Johann and Drago yet live but that they're amassing forces to challenge them. Also, because this is a multi-crossover story, I'm going to add characters and armies from a certain video game, let's see if you can spot my hints in the story and as the story progresses. As for smut, Hiccup is going to hook up with Camicazi, and for some reason, I've pictured an adult version of Camicazi to look like Alexa Penavega, but that's just me. I know this specific pairing is something some of you guys have been looking forward to, and that time has finally arrived. Anyway, onwards to the next chapter!

"Father, could you please stop pacing? You're making me nervous."
Viggo turned to her daughter, Alina, he gave her an apologetic smile and ceased his pacing for the time being. "My apologies, I just... have much on my mind at the moment," shaking his head, the ex-Dragon Hunter exhaled softly. "Hiccup Haddock wants me to find a way to earn his trust and the trust of his people. Except I'm not entirely sure how I can possibly do that, even if I win the trust of both the king and his people, they will take my efforts with a grain of salt."
"I understand the need for them to be cautious, Viggo, but you aren't the man they fought in years past—"
"No, but Vikings never forget grievances, and unfortunately, your father has committed a multitude of grievances on Hiccup's followers," Robin, who was leaning against a wall with his arms crossed said before approaching the table Alina was seated at. "Even if your father won the respect of Hiccup Haddock, those who your father grieved would never forget what he did to them, not fully, anyway."
Alina blew a strand of her ebony hair out of her face and groaned in frustration, though she never crossed paths with Hiccup Haddock and his fellow riders, many of the Viking people eyed her with contempt and seething resentment, in the Viking's eyes, the sins of the father were her sins as well.
Her Shivertooth, Glimmer, nudged against her back, cooing reassuringly at her as if telling Alina that things will be alright. Embracing her dragon's long snout, she looked at her father and shook her head. "What can we do? If we can't overcome this challenge, eventually, the Vikings who want to spill our blood will find a way to subvert Hiccup's rule, and what remains of the Grimborn Tribe will be swept away—"
"I am well aware of that, my dear, thank you," Viggo then looked at Robin. "Since you are of English upbringing, you know these lands well, do you not?" Robin nodded in confirmation. "Good. Tell me, with the current dilemma the Vikings face, where would be the perfect place to lure the Saxons and their Zealot allies into a trap?"
Contemplating, Robin reached for a pouch strapped to his left thigh, pulling out a great many neatly folded maps and charts. When he found the map for England, he urged Viggo to approach, Alina scooted closer and the two Grimborns eyed the young man as he eyed the map for a whole minute before pointing to a spot. "Here. Edington, I remember it. My father took me there when I was a boy. As we looked down the valley below the steep hill, he said to me, "This is the perfect place for a battle, my son," and what my father told me is true," looking up at Viggo with a smirk, Robin then shrugged. "We should show Hiccup what Edington has to offer. Down in the valley, there are miles of trees and forest that can hide a vast army."
Viggo dwelled on Robin's words, weighing their value, as he did, Alina spoke up. "It's worth a try, Father. At this point, even though we're safe, we're still in danger from Hiccup's people," she then smiled, "but if we help the King of Vikings win a quick and decisive victory here in England, it may be exactly what we need for Hiccup to start placing trust in us and for him to convince his people that we have nothing to gain by betraying him or them."
