** The third major attempt to attack Berk occurs when most of its usual army is mounting an attack on England for a recent assassination attempt against Hiccup, with the result that Hiccup, Astrid, Wulfhild and their dragons are still grounded from their injuries and Stoick and Fishlegs are away. Despite the enemy being aided by a former Berkian with experience fighting dragons, and Berk possessing only newly-trained but unpartnered dragons, the dragons once again overwhelm their enemies.

* Hiccup's proposal to Astrid, specifically the bride price he pays for her, manages to be awesome, funny, and heartwarming at the same time for how amazing it was. He literally gave her parents a ''king's ransom'', which floors everyone and makes nearly everyone present cheer, even one of the earls under said king. Everyone else who hears of it second hand thought the speaker was exaggerating at first before they reaffirm that it actually happened.

** Later, the King of England and Denmark goes to attack Berk. The Hooligans fight back, but the English and Danes came prepared to fight dragons, and the riders get repulsed, losing nearly a tenth of their people and dragons to [[RainOfArrows massed archer fire]]. Then Hiccup takes charge... and invents ''bombs''. By morning, the fleet is broken and running for their lives.

** The first hint of this was in chapter 6, where Hiccup and the Hooligans return a longboat full of tied-up thieves, with Hiccup and Toothless snatching guards off of the walls of the fortress, and then a flock of dragons lifts the ship and puts it into the fort's courtyard as a pointed reminder that they could have easily done much worse.
