Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

Ms. Fanti looked up at the Great Elder, "Instead of building a useless final line of defense at the door of the house, it is better to concentrate all our strength on the strongest new village, and repel the old mountain dragon here."

The Great Elder was silent for a moment, his voice thundering.

"Can."

"With the source of defensive equipment such as the dragon gun, and the transportation problem solved, we only need to consider the installation of equipment and city gates, and the reinforcement of the walls of the new village. How long will it take to complete the project? Can it be completed within a month?" the guild asked. The supervisor looked at the official and asked.

The official scratched his hair vigorously, "Impossible, if you send the dragon guns and cannons, we have to consider hoisting them.

The number of large-scale hoisting equipment is limited, and the hoisting of the city gate alone will take a whole month. It is good to say that the wall reinforcement can be carried out simultaneously by sending additional manpower.

However, one month for hoisting the city gate and ten days for installing defensive equipment are fixed, and at least forty days are needed. "

"Forty days." The Great Elder frowned.

The old mountain dragon will arrive in Minagarde in only one month, how to fight for these ten days.

"Send hunters to intercept them on the way?" someone suggested.

"It doesn't make much sense." The Great Elder shook his head slowly. "With the size of Laoshanlong, it is extremely difficult for hunters to pose an effective threat to it without relying on the village's facilities, and it is difficult to even slow down its pace."

"Perhaps it can."

Campbell said again: "Although the old stronghold is not strong enough, it is still a fortress that has successfully blocked the old mountain dragon several times.

If the dragon gun over there is repaired quickly, it should be barely usable, right? Then hurry up and arrange some artillery and heavy bed crossbows in the past.

Build the first line of defense here to buy time for the installation of equipment in Xinzhai. "

"It is impossible for the village to stop Lao Shanlong for ten days."

A high-level guild retorted, "In the past records, the blocking operations in front of the village usually lasted one to two days. Either the village was damaged and breached, or Lao Shanlong had given up and turned around and left."

"No, it might work."

Ms. Fanti said, "The distance between the old village and the new village is quite far, and at the walking speed of Laoshanlong, it will take about five or six days.

If Laoshanlong can be severely injured in Jiuzhai, at least it will be inconvenient to move, and it may slow down.

Let's send hunters to stop it along the way, so maybe we can buy enough time before it reaches Xinzhai. "

"Are you sure?" Another guild executive asked.

Fanti smiled wryly and shook his head, "There's nothing to be sure of, it's just doing everything you can and waiting for the result."

"As it should be."

The Great Elder paused for a moment with the huge Zhan Lao Dao in his hand, "Issuing the 'Emergency Announcement' to mobilize all the forces that can be mobilized, we must defend the city of Minergard in front of Lao Shanlong."

The carrier pigeons and peregrine falcons at the guild headquarters scattered in all directions, flying to all parts of the world.

Numerous airships have been conscripted, whether official or private.

They shuttled back and forth between the major cities, transporting the team of artisans, weapons and equipment, building materials, and the most critical hunters to the city of Minagarde in the northwest of the mainland at an extremely fast speed.

A few days later, Gordon, who was fishing in Berna Village, also received an urgent order from the guild.

Not to mention that he was originally a "foreign aid", even many hunters who belonged to the Longli Academy were dispatched.

Under the "emergency declaration", not only the high-ranking hunters, as long as you are a hunter, you must obey the dispatch of the guild.

Not including Gordon, a total of five hunters in the entire Bernard village received dispatch orders, two high-ranking swordsmen, and the remaining three were four-star and five-star shooters.

The reason why there are no low-level swordsmen is that it is difficult for low-level swordsmen to pose a threat to a super-large ancient dragon like Lao Shanlong, regardless of their equipment level or their own strength.

The casualty rate would also be shockingly high, and there was really no need to send them specifically to take the risk.

Since the two high-ranking hunters except Gordon have not yet returned to Berna Village, the hunters of Dragon Calendar will set off in a few days and fly directly to Minagarde.

Gordon first boarded a cargo airship bound for East Doruma. He planned to go back to his master to inquire about some "inside information", and then went to Anshir's house to get the great sword for the epitaph, and then rushed to Minagarde.

Now the old mountain dragon is still slowly crawling among the mountains, and the craftsmen are racing against time to repair the two fortresses. As for the hunters, it's not yet time for them to work hard.

For human civilization, the airship is a cross-age transportation technology. Even if it is not a fast cargo airship, it takes more than two days to fly from Berna Village to East Doruma.

For this reason, Gordon suffered another pork chop and complained.

Think about how we got to Bernardo Village Meow!

Gordon, who came to East Doruma, didn't feel the tense atmosphere he imagined. After thinking about it, it was Minagard City, not East Doruma, who was facing the threat of the old mountain dragon.

For the residents of East Doruma, it is just a matter of listening to the news.

All the way straight to the master's studio.

Master was not surprised to see Gordon running over.

Compared with Julius, who is so rigid and rigid, his second apprentice's mind is obviously much more flexible.

"Master, is the situation in Minagarde critical?"

Gordon asked tentatively: "Small places like Bernardo Village have recruited three high-ranking hunters. How many high-ranking hunters are there to join the battle? Is the old mountain dragon so difficult?"

Gordon participated in a total of three battles against ancient dragons. When fighting against Lingshan dragon, there was only Mary Dan as a high-ranking hunter. When dealing with Qilin, there was only Amos. A high-ranking hunter joined the battle.

But the old mountain dragon.

The master poured a glass of water for the dusty Gordon and Zhu Chop, and said with a smile, "That's because the Longli Academy itself is special, and there are a lot of high-level hunters. If you say an ordinary village, how could there be so many high-level hunters?"

Gordon thinks about it too, not to mention small villages like Bokai Village, Jieyun Village is not as small as Bernard Village, but there is not a resident high-ranking hunter.

The master craftsman continued: "The high-ranking hunters of the Dragon Calendar Academy have been busy collecting materials for their Dragon Consciousness Ship recently. This is something that can be taken lightly, so the guild has confidently and boldly transferred power from them."

"I see." Gordon suddenly realized.

"As far as I know, there are a total of nine high-ranking hunters who participated in the battle against Laoshanlong this time. The Longli Academy sent two, and Dongduoruma sent three. Well, you counted in Dongdoruma. Yes, besides that, there are four natives from Minagarde."

"Nine?! This is already too many to be frightening!" Gordon exclaimed, "At that time, I participated in the 'Banquet in the Great Desert', and only a high-ranking hunter, Mary Dan, participated in the battle!"

The smile on the master's face faded a bit, he pondered for a moment, and said: "The situation is different, Locklark's 'dinner' mainly relies on the dragon-fighting boat and the sandy boat group, as well as the group of experienced crew. Hunter is not the key.

In fact, Lao Shanlong mainly relied on the 'Village' to repel the battle, but this time, there are some problems in the Zhai."

After listening to the master explain the situation, Gordon finally understood why there were so many high-ranking hunters participating in the battle.

After the old village was breached, the new village was not yet ready to be completed.

They can only block Lao Shanlong.

Ps.

In fact, jumping out of the rules of the game, a super giant ancient dragon like Laoshanlong, which is bulky and flightless, should be the best to deal with, so it is best to bury explosives, right——

So this "realistic" adaptation, I will increase the difficulty of blocking Lao Shanlong.
