Chapter 556 Is it too late to switch to air combat?
Swordsmen like Gordon and the others couldn't help with the debugging of the artillery. They continued to move forward, and the first wall of the old village soon appeared in front of them. .
The specifications of this city wall are obviously smaller than the one we saw last night, with a height of less than thirty meters, and there is only one pair of dragon-shooting guns inside the wall.
But this does not mean that this wall is fragile.
In Gordon's view, the city wall that faced the attack first was in a very good position, even better than the second city wall that was the final line of defense of the old village.
This is a long and narrow pass, the narrowest point is only thirty meters wide, and Laoshanlong can only barely pass through it.
The city wall is set up here. Not only does it use the least amount of building materials, but the narrow but thicker trapezoidal wall also ensures higher strength and is very reliable.
Therefore, the main warehouse that supplies the front section of Battle Street and the field hospital that takes care of the wounded are also set up around this city wall.
Like the second city wall, this place is also busy, and at the same time, there are many hunters stationed here.
According to them, this construction site is more dangerous than the second city wall. Occasionally, there will be small monsters such as Pterosaurus, attracted by the noise of repairing the city wall.
Therefore, they must arrange for manpower to stand guard 24 hours a day to eliminate small monsters that may appear at any time to prevent them from harming the craftsmen.
Through the narrow city gate, the hunters entered the front part of the entire old village, the battle street that was more than five kilometers long.
“It feels like the density of forts here is indeed much smaller.” Gordon commented as he watched the whole thing.
"Yes, but there are a lot more heavy-duty bed crossbows." Xia Zuo looked up at the land bridge above his head, "There are several installed on each land bridge. They should be used to kill small monsters, such as "Pterodactyl."
"I'll go to the land bridge and take a look!" Agaxi, who never spoke much, said hello and trotted up the simple stairs on the cliff.
Hayata didn't quite understand why this senior with a low sense of presence was so excited.
Kip, the axe-slayer who is familiar with the latter, explained with a smile, "They like to find terrain for their aerial combat style, especially those who use insect sticks. There is no one who doesn't like it for insect-stick users." "It's on the back."
Hayata couldn't help but think of Maka, who had been slapped away several times by the Thunder Wolf Dragon, but still couldn't help but nod in understanding.
With the mentality of being familiar with the facilities, everyone also followed the land bridge.
The land bridge deck was about 17 or 18 meters above the ground. Gordon looked down and felt that whether he would die if he jumped from this height was basically impossible without being injured.
Agaxi was also in a bit of a dilemma. It was one thing to be good at aerial combat, but this height was a bit too high. Even she was not sure of landing safely.
"No, senior Xia Zuo, what is the approximate height of Laoshanlong's spine?" Gordon suddenly realized and turned around to ask Xia Zuo.
“According to data records, the height of the ridge in the crawling state is approximately fifteen meters.”
“That’s no wonder.”
Agaxi was also stunned, “It turns out This design is very convenient.”
"If there is such a height difference, you can also consider jumping on the back of Laoshan Dragon with a bomb barrel and detonating it."
"Yes, Meow, you can specialize in making super large anti-dragon explosive bombs Meow. In the past, I used Meow when dealing with the Lingshan Dragon.”
Zhupa, who had previously said he was going to wake up Xianglan, appeared here in Evelin’s arms for some reason.
Gordon's eyes became subtle.
He was about to say something when a sharp horn sound suddenly sounded in the distance.
That was obviously some kind of emergency signal.
The hunters suddenly became solemn, and rushed down the land bridge in three steps and two steps, running towards the direction where the horn sound came from.
They were running along the canyon, and there was a strange noise in front of them. The hunter's shouts were mixed with the sharp screams of the monsters, which were the sounds of battle.
The hunters' pace further accelerated.
At this time, the disadvantage of heavy weapons became apparent. Gordon and the ax wielder Chip were quickly left behind, while the others accelerated forward.
When they rushed through a corner, the scene of a fierce battle came into view.
Those were several pterosaurs, taking turns swooping down to attack a hunter holding a sledgehammer.
The sledgehammer was heavy, and the strength of the sledgehammer user was not outstanding. He roared and swung the sledgehammer, but his opponent deftly dodged it every time.
Faced with repeated attacks by the Pterosaurs, they could only barely protect themselves.
Because Pteranodon is good at flying and has the habit of hunting in groups, it rarely acts alone. Among all small monsters, it can be said to be the most difficult one to deal with.
Initially, Pteranodon was considered a member of the flying dragon species due to its "typical" body structure, and was nicknamed the "smallest flying dragon".
But later, with the development of anatomy and in-depth research, the scholars of the Paleontology Scribes team changed its biological classification.
Classify it into an extremely rare species - the snake dragon species.
Since then, novice hunters can no longer brag that they have hunted flying dragons by hunting a wyvern.
Seeing that the Sledgehammer was in a difficult battle, the man who was running at the front Xia Zuo activated his double blades, and surging fighting spirit filled his body.
Become a ghost!
His speed suddenly increased and turned into an afterimage, shooting forward quickly.
Gordon, who was trying to catch up behind him, couldn't help but slow down. He had nothing to do anymore.
This uncle with slightly white temples can be said to be the fastest of all the hunters he knows.
This position once belonged to Julius.
It is true that Julius's strength is still on the rise, but at least for now, Xia Zuo is faster than him.
When Xia Zuo turned on the ghost form, Hayata and Evelin, who were still in the first queue, were instantly separated. The only person who could barely keep up with him was the insect stick user Aga. hope.
According to Gordon's visual inspection, each step of this senior with astonishingly long legs exceeds two meters, and the frequency of his steps is extremely fast. He looks like he is flying close to the ground.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the two of them were close to the position less than ten meters away from the Sledgehammer and the Pterosaurus battle group.
The cruel but cautious Pterosaurs sensed the danger, gave up their attack on the Hammer User, flapped their wings and began to take off, and soon rose into the air four to five meters.
This is an unattainable height for most swordsmen.
But the two people who rushed forward obviously did not belong to the "vast majority".
Xia Zuo slightly adjusted his direction and rushed to the nearly vertical cliff on the side. He used the protruding rocks on the cliff to jump into the air. Then he kicked off the rock wall with both feet and somersaulted back to get there. Several flying snake dragons rose into the air.
Twisting his spiral arms, the sharp swords in both hands turned into whirlwinds of rigid blades. The blood flew and cut the two serpent dragons into pieces.
“Ji Ga!”
As it flew higher, the basilisk that narrowly escaped death screamed and tried its best to flap its wings and continue to rise.
At this time, Agaxi had also rushed to the nearby area. He twirled the insect stick in his hand and pointed the head of the stick towards the ground. The force of the charge turned into a thrust into the air under the lever of the insect stick, pushing her into the air. Sent into the air.
At this moment, she seemed to be freed from the constraints of gravity, leaping in the air above the Pterosaur. The sharp blade of the club easily penetrated the Pterosaur's back, and the tip of the blade pierced out from its chest.
“叽——”
The neighing sound of the Pterosaurus paused, and its slender body turned into a corpse, twitching and being nailed to the ground.
Agaxi stepped on the body of the Pterosaurus and landed on the ground. He pulled out the insect stick, performed a stick dance, shook off the blood stained on the head of the stick, and carried it back behind his back.
In the blink of an eye, the three-headed serpent dragon was eliminated.
Gordon, who witnessed all this from a distance, stopped.
Well, is it still too late for me to transfer to aerial combat swordsmanship? (End of this chapter)
