Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

Cargo airships with flags of different chambers of commerce were heading in groups towards the ancient city of Shulet.

This ruined ancient city has not been so "popular" for hundreds or thousands of years.

The first to arrive at the core area of ​​the ancient city was an airship full of craftsmen from Yanhuo Village, Barubare, and machinery from all over the continent.

The airship did not descend immediately, but hovered at a low altitude of about 100 meters. Dao Wen, who had an old face, stood at the bow and looked at the ruins.

Soon, Dao Wen, as the leader of the craftsmen, made a decision.

"Ten o'clock direction, the platform in front of the castle ruins, land there!"

After receiving his order, the driver controlled the airship full of craftsmen and landed on the spacious platform.

The craftsmen walked down the gangway one after another and explored the surrounding environment in a dispersed manner.

Soon they came to a unified conclusion-this is the best place.

First of all, this place is spacious enough, and the three teams of hunters can be deployed even with the military's artillery regiment.

The most important factor is the environment here.

The square in front of the gate of the ancient castle seemed to be similar to the structure of a battle street at that time.

The ground on the south side collapsed completely, and there was an abyss with no bottom to see below.

There were stone steps on the east, west, and north edges suitable for placing heavy artillery, crossbows and other fortification weapons.

These stone platforms were built very solidly, and the base of the crossbow was fixed with fixed piles, so it was not so easy to break free after launching the restraining bomb.

There were also some solid column bases left after the collapse of some stone pillars on the platform.

Although these column bases are inconspicuous, Dao Wen, who used to be a hunter, knows very well that such shelters can save lives at critical moments in battle.

Isana, wearing a leather jacket that is a bit too big, trotted all the way over, and her spirit was a little excited.

"There is an ancient dragon-slaying spear installed in the stone platform on the north side, which is larger than any modern model!

Although the internal transmission structure has been damaged for a long time, the core spear head and steam boiler are basically intact. We should be able to repair it if we hurry up. It is a sharp weapon!"

Dao Wen nodded heavily, "Mechanics are what you Naguli people are good at, so I'll leave this part to you!"

"Okay!" Isana gave a thumbs up, "Oh, by the way, Uncle Dao Wen, there is one more thing."

Isana pointed to the direction of the castle door, "There is a super large metal door underground, which is probably half a meter thick. It is connected to the power device of the dragon-slaying spear and shares the same steam boiler.

I wonder if we should repair that one too. At that time, we can control the metal door to close quickly through the switch.

Although I don't know what it is used for."

But I just think it's very cool!

After listening to Isana's words, Dao Wen stared at the castle door and narrowed his eyes slightly.

He had learned from the guild that the opponent this time had the ability to spit out super-high-temperature dragon flame breath for a long time and over a large area.

He was originally still worried about how to prepare some life-saving trump cards for the hunters.

Isn't this indestructible metal door the best barrier and shelter?

"I will arrange more manpower for you to repair it as quickly as possible. Both the dragon-striking spear and the door are very important." Dao Wen pressed Isana's shoulder and said seriously.

"Understood!"

Isana shouted a few times and called the earth dragon craftsmen from Naguli Village to come over. Carrying hammers, they went to the direction of the mechanism.

After arranging work for Isana and several other groups of craftsmen, Dao Wen fired a yellow flare into the air to mark the location.

Not long after, the cargo airships hovering outside the ancient city arrived one after another.

It was equipped with heavy artillery, crossbows, rapid-fire cannons and other defensive weapons, various supplies, hunters participating in the battle, and military shooters.

In just a few hours, the platform in front of the castle ruins turned into a crowded and bustling construction site.

Standing on the platform, looking at the group of craftsmen who were sweating and jogging, Gordon couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

This is a "forbidden" nest. The black dragon may come back at any time. Every craftsman is working with a desperate mentality.

Sure enough, it's just as the village chief said.

When the crisis comes, everyone will unite and fight for survival.

After a moment of silence, he said to Anxier beside him: "Find a few groups of military shooters you think are reliable."

Anxier nodded, and soon, several groups of soldiers came here.

He saluted them in different styles.

"This is Bazel, a heavy crossbowman from the artillery team of the Kingdom of Elgard, this is Kosha, a shooter from the East Doruma City Defense Force, and this is Fawad, a shooter from the Rocklak Fortress Archery Team."

Anxier briefly introduced the captains of the next few shooter teams.

Gordon unfolded a map and said, "I need you to go to the edge of the ancient city in all directions to set up control and hide as sentinels.

When the black dragon appears, send out an early warning signal immediately.

And. delay its pace as much as possible to buy time for the craftsmen to evacuate."

After these words came out, Gordon felt a little ashamed.

To put it bluntly, he wanted these soldiers to use their lives in exchange for the opportunity for the craftsmen to evacuate safely.

However, no one raised any objections, and no one even wavered.

Noticing Gordon's slightly gloomy expression, the nearly fifty-year-old heavy crossbowman of the artillery team smiled and said, "Mr. Gordon, you don't have to worry about that.

As a soldier, it is natural to sacrifice to protect civilians, just like you hunters standing in front of monsters.

That's what we do."

After that, he turned around and said to the military shooters, "Everyone's hiding place should be dispersed as much as possible.

When the time comes, take turns to use crossbows to attack from a distance to attract the attention of the black dragon, which should buy more time."

"Yes!"

The soldiers responded loudly, and after confirming their respective areas of responsibility, they trotted away.

Gordon, Ansel, Julius and others continued to discuss the location of the camp and the storage location of ammunition and supplies.

Suddenly, bursts of chirping similar to bird calls came from the air, but more hoarse.

The craftsmen looked up in panic, and the military shooters also set up crossbows and aimed at the sky.

Gordon and his men did not seem nervous at all, but were a little excited.

Ansel pressed down his palm and issued a "standby" command to the military shooters who were ready to fire, then looked up into the sky.

"Are they finally here?"

A dozen swift shadows fell from the clouds and appeared in everyone's sight.

It was a group of sturdy acid pterosaurs. Led by a few leaders, they quickly circled around this "construction site".

Then they dived in an orderly manner and landed on the platform where Gordon and others were.

Alva released the hook and touched the head of the extremely large acid pterosaur next to him, and almost got bitten.

After dodging in a somewhat embarrassing manner, the scribe straightened his robe and walked over with a grin, "How is it, are you here in time?

We went to the New World specifically to bring the strongest batch of acid pterosaurs here."

"I'm here too!" Ai Bo ran to Feng Ying with a smile, "Wow! Is this the protective gear made of the material of that red dragon?"

Li Yang (the competitive sister) also came to Aiden who was grinning, and squinted at him, "Huh, I haven't seen you for a few months, and you're still so silly."
