Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

Amos still frowned, but he didn't argue with the president lady about whether Hariyata was qualified to be regarded as a combat power.

Considering the thoughts of several other unfamiliar high-ranking hunters, the lady president briefly mentioned Hayatta's hunter level and the experience of fighting against several ancient dragons.

Comparing the record and experience, the several high-level hunters in the room are naturally much richer than Hayata.

But considering the level of equipment and the particularity of certain experiences, they also recognized the judgment of Madam President about Hariyatta's strength.

Gordon glanced at the hunters in the room from the corner of his eye.

Counting the number, except for the two high-ranking hunters in Berna Village, the other seven high-ranking hunters have arrived.

He knew the four local high-ranking hunters in Minagarde. Hayata's master, the eight-star sword master Amos, and the gun-gun master Ted who had just been promoted to six stars, these two were naturally very familiar.

The other two are Heiniya, who was promoted to six-star at some point, that is, the shield axe who taught Fengying the catchphrase "solve the fuck"; Xia Zuo, my friend's eight-star dual-sword envoy.

Besides Gordon himself, the three high-ranking hunters belonging to Don Doruma are the six-star hunter Feidi, the cheerful flute hunter, and the seven-star pistol hunter Evelyn. couple.

Although he didn't know each other, Gordon had heard of these two people. Ferdy was proficient in rhythm and was good at using the hunting horn to provide protection for his partners. Evelyn was good at quick support and using various props. He was an excellent shortstop.

Some people like to define hunters like them, especially flute hunters, as "assistants", which is actually inappropriate, otherwise the hunting flute would not have another name of "long-handled hammer"...

After looking around like this, Gordon was a little surprised. He asked the president, "The seven of us are all swordsmen. We are two seniors, Agathi and Kip, who are still on the way from Bernard Village. It's the insect stick and the axe, so it's really all swordsmen?

Against a huge and slow monster like Lao Shanlong, shouldn't it be the shooter who has the advantage? "

"There's a reason for that."

Madam President put down her slender pipe, "Old Mountain Dragon's scales are astonishingly thick, and they are covered with thick minerals, even the eyelids, and there are basically no weaknesses on the whole body.

Unless at very close range, the effect of long-range attacks is close to zero.

Therefore, the real role of the shooters is to manipulate the artillery, heavy bed crossbows and other facilities in the village to continuously bombard the old mountain dragon, or to clean up the snake dragon and velociraptor that followed the old mountain dragon. "

Speaking of this, Gordon understood.

Whether it is manipulating the bed ballista artillery to attack a giant like Laoshanlong, or using the ballista hunting bow to eliminate small monsters, the strength that the high-ranking archers can display is actually no different from that of experienced low-ranking archers.

It's better to let these high-ranking shooters deal with other difficult events.

Swordsmen are just the opposite. The level of equipment of low-rank swordsmen cannot pose a threat to Laoshanlong. It is useless to recruit more low-rank swordsmen.

This is also the main reason why the high-ranking hunters summoned by the guild are all swordsmen, and most of the four-star and above elites assigned to participate in defensive operations are shooters.

After answering Gordon's question, Madam President glanced at everyone, "Next, I will roughly explain the tactical process of this defensive operation.

If you have any questions or suggestions, you can directly ask them. "

Madam President came to a map hanging on the wall, and Gordon glanced at it to confirm that it was a topographic map of the entire Shulet area.

The president knocked off the remaining soot in the pipe, and using the long and thin pipe as a pointer, pointed to the location of the northern mountains on the map.

"The first confirmed location of Lao Shanlong's appearance is probably here, and the provider of the information is Amos."

As she said that, she looked at the middle-aged swordsman with folded arms and a serious face, "Why don't you explain this part in detail first?"

Although he was not in a good mood because of Hayata's "intrusion", Amos still came to the map.

"In late June, I was at this location and witnessed Laoshanlong, as well as an astonishing number of plesiosaurs and velociraptors."

Amos clicked on the map and continued: "I immediately reported the matter to the guild with a peregrine falcon, and continued to track it for a few days.

The good news is that the rolling mountains in the north slow down the footsteps of the old mountain dragon. Even if it advances day and night, it will take about a month to reach Minagard. The bad news is that its forward route is very clear. We only have This month's time. "

The president nodded her thanks and added: "Later, Amos retreated, and the airships and observation hot air balloons of the Gulong Observation Bureau took over the tracking, and their flying altitude was high enough that there was no need to worry about the swarm of snake dragons.

After this period of continuous observation and calculation, the correctness of this judgment is further proved. "

The flute hunter from East Doruma raised his hand to confirm, "I found it at the end of June, the journey took about a month, and Lao Shanlong arrived at the end of July.

It's mid-July now, that is to say, the battle will take place in about half a month? "

"That's not how it is calculated." The president lady shook her head lightly, "The end of July is the time when Laoshanlong arrived in Minagarde, not the time when he arrived at the 'Village'.

In fact, the first blocking battle should break out in a week. "

As she said that, the lady president picked up a report document on the table and looked at it, "According to the information provided by the Gulong Observation Bureau, to be precise, it will be eight days later."

Before returning to the map, he pointed to a trapezoid mark on the map with a pipe, "This is the former fortress, we call it the 'Old Village', the first phase of the battle will break out here.

There are two combat purposes at this stage. One is to slow down the pace of the old mountain dragon and buy time for the installation of equipment in the new village. Of course, it is best to directly seriously injure or even repel it.

The second purpose is to reduce the number of velociraptors and pterosaurs around Lao Shanlong as much as possible, so as to avoid too many small monsters fleeing to the vicinity of the city. "

There is another sentence that the president did not say, but everyone knows it in their hearts.

——Even if the defensive operation fails and the city of Minergarde is breached by Lao Shanlong, reducing small monsters in advance can effectively reduce the casualties of residents in the city.

"Is there an approximate number of winged snake dragons and velociraptors?" Gordon raised his hand and asked.

"There are more than 120 snake dragons, and the total number of red velociraptors and blue velociraptors exceeds 200. This is the data provided by the Gulong Observation Bureau two days ago, and the number may still be slowly increasing."

"Mom!"

Shield Ax Maker Hai Niye grinned, "This is the army of monsters."

"Can you reduce the number of these small monsters in advance?" the partner of the flute hunter, the one-handed sword master Evelyn from East Doruma, frowned and suggested.

"It's true that the old mountain dragon can only rely on the village's facilities to repel it. Small monsters are not so troublesome. Sending hunters in batches to hunt in the edge areas should be effective?"

"Someone suggested that."

The lady president said with a wry smile: "But there are countless groups of blue velociraptors living in the Xiulet area, and the smell of blood will attract blue velociraptors from farther away, and the loss outweighs the gain.

It is better to concentrate on solving and burying in front of the village, at least the location of the village is farther away from the wild. "

"So that's the case, that's really troublesome."

Everyone fell silent for a while.
