Monster Hunter:Hunter's Notes

Chapter 261 Betting on the Ship Group

The captain's command relies on shouting.

Therefore, everyone is also aware of the situation of the dragon boats and the sand fleet.

Running out of ammunition was the biggest crisis. When the heavy crossbows and artillery stopped firing, the weapons and pickaxes in their hands, as well as the dragon guns that had not yet been reloaded, became the only remaining force of the fleet.

As the only high-ranking hunter in this battle, Maridan, who has become the leader of the battle group, carried a sledgehammer and said in a rough voice: "I won't talk nonsense about 'being careful', since everyone's safety ropes have been cut off anyway."

Right."

There was a burst of laughter from the members of the fighting group.

"There's nothing to say, I'm just trying my best to destroy it!"

Pulled by the mechanical winch, the dragon boat gradually moved closer to Lingshan Dragon, and finally rested against the left neck of Lingshan Dragon.

"Look at the crystal mines all over the ground! It has already shown us the 'prosperity' of the great desert, now let us see the 'courage' of Lockak! Come on!"

"oh--"

Whether you are a hunter or a member of the fortress guerrillas, there is no one who is timid.

Everyone scrambled to jump out of the side of the ship and began to climb up the Lingshan Dragon's back.

At the same time, the sand ships that could still sail also fired restraint bombs and came closer to join the final battle.

The Lingshan Dragon, which was covered with large and small boats, shook its body vigorously, causing the hunters on its back to scream in surprise, but it was not able to leave many people behind.

The captain's eyes suddenly lit up.

If one chooses rationally, the dragon-attacking boat and the sand-landing boat should cut off the restraining elastic rope as soon as the battle group completes the boarding of the dragon.

After all, the partners in the battle group had already taken the initiative to cut off the safety ropes, and they continued to stick around Lingshan Dragon. Apart from increasing the risk of the ship capsizing, it seemed to have no effect.

But this time, the captain made a bold decision.

"Notify all the sand ships that if there are any restraint bombs left, launch them all, including the dragon-striking ships, and bind themselves firmly to the Lingshan Dragon!"

"Captain?"

The flagman and signalman looked at the captain of the ship in surprise to confirm whether the order was correct.

It is very dangerous to bind a ship to the Lingshan Dragon for a long time. As long as the Lingshan Dragon performs a death roll or deep dive, the sandy ship group is likely to be wiped out in an instant.

The captain of the ship spoke loudly, explaining not only to the flagman but also to the entire crew of the ship.

"I'm going to make a bet with Lingshan Dragon! Bet on how much strength it has left, bet on whether it can roll over after dragging an entire fleet of ships!"

If it were the beginning of the battle, facing the Lingshan Dragon in its prime, he would certainly not be able to do this.

But now, everyone is at the end of his rope and is just short of the last straw.

The weight of the ship may be the straw.

The crew looked at each other, and then burst into cheers.

"Bet the hell!"

"The combatants have all rushed forward, how can we run back in despair!"

"For Lokrak!"

The trumpet and semaphore signaling the order were then sounded.

The captain of the ship smiled and raised his telescope, and suddenly cursed: "What happened to that sand ship?"

The observer took a look and replied: "That is the sand boat of the fourth team. When they capsized before, the heavy bed crossbow was damaged and unable to fire restraint bombs."

"Then why are they clinging to Lingshan Dragon's butt to cause trouble? Just in time, let them return to Lockark immediately and notify the city to prepare for an attack!

I am going to bet with the Lingshan Dragon with the lives of the whole fleet tied to it. If I lose the bet, I have no choice but to hand it over to them!"

If it succeeds, this will be the final battle with everything on the line.

If it fails, this is also a backup plan for desperate delay.

"Hahaha, what a big deal, Captain!" A fishing boat leaned diagonally against the side of the Mineyama Maru, and the gray-haired old man on the bow laughed and waved to the side.

"What are you doing here?!"

"When I was young, I also stayed in the Sandy Boat Group. I can understand the horns and flags." The old captain laughed and said: "You want to bet, right? The fishing fleet will give you some weight!

We can’t fight, but a fishing boat loaded with catches won’t be lighter than your Mineyama Maru!”

"Hey! No! It's too messy to use a fishing boat! You don't even have a crossbow, hey!" the captain of the boat shouted.

"Ha! Desert fishermen have their own ideas!"

The fishing fleet that had been following in the distance came closer at some point.

They drove cautiously to the Lingshan Dragon, and the harpooners who had been waiting for a long time threw the harpoon at the Lingshan Dragon at an almost face-to-face distance.

The force with which a human arm throws a harpoon is naturally incomparable to the restraint bullet fired by a heavy crossbow.

Most of these harpoons were only shallowly pierced into the head, and some were directly bounced away by the Lingshan Dragon's hard skin.

But the quality is not enough, so you can make up for it with quantity.

Anyway, there are many harpoons with ropes on fishing boats. The harpooner throws them repeatedly and pokes more than a dozen harpoons, and he can always fix a fishing boat.

So, a few minutes later, a large number of fishing boats loaded with sand fish appeared next to Lingshan Dragon, and its forward speed dropped again visibly to the naked eye.

On the back of the dragon's spine in Lingshan Mountain.

Twenty or thirty combatants were all waving weapons or pickaxes, and it was as lively as a construction site.

Cessna poked her head out curiously and looked around, "Is the fishing fleet here too?"

The middle-aged swordsman who was also wearing the armor of the fortress guerrillas waved the pickaxe continuously and said angrily: "Get to work quickly! How many crystals have you knocked down in this nonsense?"

"oh oh!"

"Ding!"

"Wow! Abyss Crystal!"

"concentrate!"

"oh oh!"

There were several shiny crystals scattered around Hayata's feet, but she had no time to pick them up.

According to the rules, the ore collected by the hunters who climb the dragon can directly belong to the individual, but when everyone puts their lives on the line and tries their best to fight off the Lingshan Dragon together.

Selfishness can appear particularly distasteful.

Anyone who lies down at this time and greedily stuffs precious ores into packages will end up with social death even if he returns to Lockark safely and makes a fortune.

Gordon continued to wield the Fire Dragon Sword, and even Pork Chop held up an iron pickaxe that was quite huge for its size, staring at the crystal clusters and knocking them around.

He was actually very tired. Controlling the heavy bed crossbow after a whole night, whether it was firing the crossbow or repeatedly moving the crossbow body to adjust the shooting angle, was very physically demanding.

But now is not the time to rest.

The Fire Dragon Sword's destructive effect on purple crystal clusters is at least as powerful as seven or eight iron pickaxes, so you have to grit your teeth and persevere.

"Hey! Boy, drink this!"

A small bottle filled with golden liquid was thrown over, and Gordon quickly caught it.

It is a strong-moving drug, to be precise, it is a more advanced version of the strong-moving drug G. Generally, it is a precious medicine that only high-level hunters use frequently.

Maridan waved her hand to him, said nothing, and continued swinging the sledgehammer.

Gordon didn't show any pretense, he drank the potion in one breath, took a few breaths, and suddenly felt that strength filled his body again.

He smiled, found the largest crystal cluster, rushed over, and shouldered the sword.

Charge up and slash!
