Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

"'It's' strength is probably beyond your imagination." The great elder said in a deep voice, "We must prepare for the worst."

Listening to the great elder's vague words, Gordon understood that the great elder had not revealed the information about the "Black Dragon" to these examiners who had passed the evil eye test.

In other words, the great elders themselves were somewhat undecided as to whether they really wanted to bring retired hunters like Hilda back to the battlefield.

Gordon responded: "You also know that hunters are not an army. The requirement of 'quality' is far greater than 'quantity'. A team of hunters can solve the problem, but doubling the number may cause chaos.

So even from the most utilitarian point of view, I would choose to use all young and middle-aged elites. "

General Patton nodded aside and did not forget to correct him, "Even the army is the same. The greater the number, the greater the combat effectiveness."

As the subject of criticism, Altmann remained expressionless, while Hilda couldn't help but roll her eyes.

Although I understand that Gordon means well, I always feel like I want to punch someone.

We're not old enough to be a burden, okay?

The Great Elder was silent for a while, and finally agreed to Gordon's suggestion, "According to Gordon's words, first remove the people over fifty years old from the list. The dragon race is not included."

The guild director opened the list, glanced at it a few times, and reminded in a low voice: "Taking Seven-Star Hunter as the minimum standard, and taking into account factors such as combat style suitability, there are not many people on the list.

If hunters over fifty are completely eliminated, the number may not be enough. Should the upper limit be changed to sixty? "

"No need." Gordon said again, "I will explain in a moment."

The great elder nodded and signaled Altmann and Hilda to leave first. Hilda put her hands on her hips and glared at Gordon, but still obeyed the great elder's instructions and walked out of the hall.

Will (Brother Spear) stayed on the spot and did not move. Seeing Gordon looking at him, Will said with a straight face: "I am only in my early fifties, and my physical fitness has not declined yet.

Whether as a defender of the pen or as the leader of the Guild Knights' reloading team, he can play an important role. "

Julius and others also said a few words on his behalf.

Gordon looked at Will carefully and after confirming that his energy and muscles were equally full, he nodded and said nothing more.

The Great Elder was also very straightforward, "Then the four members of the Bitou Hunting Group are confirmed. Gordon, continue your previous explanation."

"Well, I also understand why, Great Elder, you set the lower limit of strength at seven stars.

There is no essential difference between six-star hunters and seven-star hunters, but if a young upper-level hunter wants to be promoted to seven-stars, he must go through a period of accumulation and have experience in several ancient dragon-related tasks.

Therefore, using the seven stars as a line can filter out young advanced hunters who are inexperienced or whose equipment has not yet been formed, right? "

"That's right." The guild director nodded, "Due to various measures such as the expansion of training camps and increased investment in resources, a group of young and advanced hunters have emerged in the past few years since you went to the New World.

They have great potential, but they are still lacking in experience and accumulation. It is really a bit difficult to put them into this level of combat."

"I understand, so I also drew an age limit of twenty-five years old. What I want to say is not this group of young people who are in power, but another group of people."

Gordon looked up at the Great Elder, "In the New World, we have defeated and hunted many kinds of ancient dragons many times.

There are many powerful individuals on the same level as Styracosaurus among them, and they even include "Taboo".

Therefore, I can say with some confidence that this system is effective.

That is to use a few elite hunting groups as the main force to withstand the pressure of the frontal battlefield, coupled with heavy crossbow teams, fortifications and heavy weapons, etc., to provide powerful destructive power at critical moments. "

General Patton nodded heavily, "I have studied the battle report provided by the New World Survey Corps, Master Gordon, which is why I was eager to see you as soon as I arrived in East Doruma.

Actual combat results have proven that this is already a relatively complete and mature system. Building and filling it using this as a framework is definitely better than fighting independently without any organization. "

"You mean, except for the core teams that fight head-on, the requirements for other personnel can be appropriately lowered?"

"That's right." Gordon nodded and said, "Even in the battle against Taboo, only Gale was the top hunter among the members of the heavy crossbow team.

To be honest, follow the instructions, carry out bombing at the right time, or control the artillery bed and crossbow to attack the dragon gun and other tasks.

The role played by four- and five-star elite hunters is no different from that of us eight- and nine-star hunters.

As long as he can withstand the pressure of the black dragon's aura, he can fight normally.

Compared with the main force facing the Black Dragon, the pressure on the personnel around the battlefield should be much less. "

“I see.” The Great Elder stroked his beard, “Unless they rely on the fortress to defend against giant ancient dragons, hunters rarely have the opportunity to fight in groups.

It's because my thinking is rigid.

Tell us what you think about this tactic. "

"The first is frontal combat strength, which requires three to four elite teams. We already have Silver Bian and Pen Head. The Alcohol Hunting Group can focus on it. After all, our three teams have dealt with the Red Dragon together, so we have a tacit understanding.

As for the fourth team, if there is a suitable and organized hunting group, we can also consider it.

Then there is the combat power to provide peripheral support. This number is hard to say and depends on the situation. Is it possible for us to arrange the battlefield in advance? "

"It's difficult, but if you don't care about the risks and costs, maybe you can try it." The guild director said this.

General Patton also spoke again, "I think the military can contribute to the heavy crossbow unit mentioned before. Militarized hunting has always been the direction of our efforts.

I can select a group of determined military shooters, and after passing the evil eye's test, they can quickly develop combat effectiveness through simple training.

Weapons and equipment can also be standardized. Perhaps the individual strength is far less than that of an experienced hunter and shooter, but it is not difficult if you just focus your fire at the right time.

If necessary, we can also form a large-scale artillery group. "

Gordon grinned.

Due to the pressure of monsters, there were not many wars between human countries, and the number of armies was naturally not comparable to that of the chaotic periods in history. They basically stayed at the size of the "Knights of the Kingdom".

But an army is an army after all. Think of the hordes of military shooters holding standard defense force-level weapons and focusing fire on monsters.

Isn't this the picture in Ancil's dream?

The task of training these soldiers can be handed over to him, and that guy must be very happy.

"A very good idea, do you have any more suggestions?" The elder looked at Gordon encouragingly.

"Yeah, by the way, the black dragon should have the ability to fly, right?"

"nature."

"Then how to limit its flying ability is the key. Based on our experience over the years, the best ways to limit the ancient dragon's flight are actually those two.

The first was restraint bullets. A large number of restraint bullets were fired, and Gu Long could not break away in a short time.

The second is a large airship.

In the battle of Tian Hui Long, Ryuuriin's Dragon Sense Ship played a key role. In the battle to hunt Tian Hui Dragon, the Isana's lifeless collision also successfully prevented Tian Hai Long from escaping.

There are many similar examples.

Is there a way to mobilize large airships to participate in the battle? It's best to have something fast, sturdy, and heavily armed. "

"The guild lacks such large spaceships, but we can contact other countries and ask for assistance." The guild director recorded this opinion.

"Oh, yes, explosives can also play a big role. Of course, I don't mean regular barrel bombs, but something more powerful."

A look of satisfaction appeared in the eyes of the great elder, "This is also a good idea, very good, but you alone have provided so many ideas. It seems that we need to get more people's opinions.

The Black Dragon is an unconventional opponent, and we must also adopt unconventional thinking! "
