Chapter 251 Sounding the Alarm
“Although I don’t know whether it is a subspecies or what, since you said that its shape is similar to Fengshan Dragon, let’s call it ‘Fengshan Dragon’ for now.
< br>How long do you think it will take for it to arrive near Lockrak? "
Names and biological classifications are not within the scope of the guild leader's concerns. What he wants to consider is more direct and realistic. problem.
“Based on the speed of Fengshan Dragon, Maridan and the others helped us win about half a day by traveling day and night.
It should be in the area after dark. "The captain of the ship briefly estimated and gave the answer.
"Then send an evacuation signal immediately! "
Several members of the Sand Fleet nodded, ran to take out the flares, and fired them into the air.
Another person rushed up to the Dragon Boat Peak Yamamaru, swinging a hammer, The huge gong with a simple shape was sounded.
"哐——"
The deafening long sound resounded throughout the desert city.
Attracted by the sound of gongs, almost everyone looked at the sky here and noticed the signal flares rising into the air.
After receiving the signal, members of the fortress guerrillas and the tourism association immediately began to organize the evacuation.
"This way, meow! Please go this way in an orderly manner, meow!"
"Don't worry, the shelter is very spacious and everyone will be arranged."< br>
The businessmen and tourists who came to Loklak for the first time seemed a little panicked.
Some people are still sorting out the goods at the stalls, or planning to rush back to the hotel to pack their luggage.
Without the intervention of the fortress guerrillas and the tourism association, experienced businessmen or local residents of Lockark will stop them.
“Oh, don’t be so nervous. Although it is an alarm, it actually has nothing to do with us. There is everything in the shelter, just hide for a day.
I come here once a year The moment the gong sounds, the real harvest festival has just begun!”
"Yeah, don't close the stall or anything like that. Just cover it with a piece of cloth and weigh it down with a stone to block the sand and dust. Then come back and continue doing business. Otherwise, someone will take away such a good stall like yours." ."
"Thief? Hahaha, how can any thief dare to act recklessly at this time? Do you really think that the 'sandwolves' in the city guerrillas are vegetarians? "
The citizens and experienced businessmen looked like they were not surprised. Those who panic take faith.
The evacuation and evacuation work is proceeding in an orderly manner.
This side of the big dock.
The final preparations before the attack are also being carried out in an orderly and efficient manner.
Because it is located in a desert, there is no need to consider issues such as moisture.
The artillery shells, super giant anti-dragon explosive bombs specially made with pork chops, large bundles of heavy-duty crossbow bolts, and restraint bomb kits have all been stored in the arsenal of the dragon-attacking ship in advance. .
The main purpose now is to check the sail ropes of the dragon boat and the sand boat, the locks of the safety ropes and other details that are prone to failure.
Considering that the "Fengshan Dragon" attacking this time is larger than the ordinary Fengshan Dragon, it will definitely be more difficult to deal with.
The captain of the ship temporarily ordered that the dragon-attacking ships and sand ships carry more ammunition than originally planned.
Doing this may weaken the sand boat's flexibility to a certain extent, but it is better than running out of ammunition and being helpless in the face of the still active Fengshan Dragon.
So, everyone started the intense moving work again.
At the same time, the guild leader and the captain of the ship received a reasonable but unexpected visitor.
——The fishermen representatives of Loklak.
Fishermen in the desert may sound a bit strange, but in fact, this is a very ancient profession in the sand sea.
Their main target is the sand fish that lives in the sand sea - a ferocious fish whose maximum size can reach more than four meters (official).
They took sand boats, used harpoons and giant nets to catch sand fish, broke them down, and sold them.
Sandfish liver is a world-famous delicacy. Sandfish skin can be used to make excellent sand boots and travel clothes. Sandfish meat is one of the main sources of meat for residents in desert areas. Fish fins and sharp teeth It can even be used to craft hunter equipment.
As long as you can catch one or two from a voyage, it will be considered a successful return.
However, it is very difficult to find these sand fish with scales that are exactly the same color as yellow sand in the vast sea of sand. In many cases, you can only rely on luck.
Because of this, the large number of sand fish that come with Fengshan Dragon every year has become an important source of their regular income.
These men in the sand sea have already polished their harpoons and can't wait to join the "gourmet feast".
“It’s too dangerous!” The captain’s first reaction was to refuse.
“This year’s Fengshan dragon. Well, there is no need to block any news now. What attacks this year is not the ordinary Fengshan dragon, but a larger and more dangerous subspecies.
We have no chance of successfully repelling it, if"
"Lingshan Dragon? "A ship boss with gray hair but still strong muscles muttered.
Everyone's eyes turned to him.
"You know it? ! ”
Both the captain of the ship and the leader of the guild became excited.
What is most lacking right now is information about the incoming thing.
The former Loklak political system was chaotic, and many materials and documents were lost in the long river of time.
In the past few days, the guild leader has also sent people to inquire about the elderly dragon people in the city about Monsoon's late arrival, but unfortunately he found nothing.
Who would have thought that the old fisherman in front of them would actually know something?
Since he suddenly became the focus of everyone's attention, the old fisherman was a little nervous. He waved his hands repeatedly and said: "No, I just heard a name when I was a child. I don't know anything else!"
Another boat boss next to him pushed him and said dissatisfied: "Old man, please remember carefully. Eating so much shark liver is not enough for your brain?"
The old fisherman held his forehead and thought hard. People hold their breath and dare not disturb.
“I remember when I was a child, I listened to an old dragon man near my home telling stories. He kept talking about the full moon night, coming from the deep sea of sand, the purple crystals, and the spiritual mountain dragon. "
The old fisherman scratched his head hard and said awkwardly: "I can remember this. I thought he was making up a story based on Fengshan Dragon."
"That old man. "Long Renren?" a fisherman asked.
"I died early."
The captain of the ship and the leader of the guild looked at each other.
The purple crystal alone matched the mysterious dragon that Maridan and the others saw, and today happened to be a full moon night.
"Lingshan Dragon?" the guild leader repeated.
He called a guild member, "Go and send a message to the Scribes Team and the scholars of the Ancient Dragon Observation Bureau, telling them that the incoming object is the Lingshan Dragon. If they find anything or make any connections, come immediately." Tell me!”
The guild members left in a hurry.
"I'm sorry, we can only think of one name." The old fisherman felt a little guilty.
The guild leader comforted him, but he didn't feel too disappointed.
He looked at the fishermen and said: "The captain of the boat just made it clear that what is attacking this time is not the Fengshan Dragon, but the completely unknown Lingshan Dragon.
The unknown means It’s dangerous. The Shadi fleet is ready for a fight to the death. Do you really want to follow the fleet and fish close to Lingshan Dragon?”
Several ship bosses looked at each other and laughed heroically.
"Dangerous? Isn't it dangerous to fish close to Fengshan Dragon? Hahaha, men on the sand sea are not afraid of danger!"
"That's right, cowards deserve to be hungry!"
< br>"Want to join 'Feast', how can you do it if you don't have the courage?"
The oldest old captain came out and said to the guild leader: "The sand fish are ferocious and will attack the sand boats. You can even jump on the Mineyama Maru.
At the same time, the fishing boats are also responsible for rescuing those who fell. Without us, everyone in the Sandy Boat Group would also have a headache. "
The captain of the boat fell silent. What the old captain said was the truth.
Although the fishing fleet did not directly participate in the attack on Fengshan Dragon, it was also an important part of the battle.
Without them, Just cleaning up the sand fish jumping on the dragon boat and biting everywhere is a big trouble, and the casualty rate of those who fall into the sand will also be greatly increased.
"Usually just take advantage of it, but when the crisis comes, you will hide and hide. Hai Nan'er's bones are not that soft. "The old captain said with a smile.
The captain of the ship was silent for a moment, and finally smiled.
"Then, let's fight side by side again." (End of this chapter)
