Chapter 852 Attack from the sea
“Hahahaha! It turns out you two are a couple, good thing!”
“Uh, thank you?”
“How about it? , Gordon boy, have you seen that guy Yamos since you caught up with Hayata? In recent years, that guy has always boasted about his precious apprentice!”
“It seems like I haven’t seen him yet! ?" Gordon automatically filtered the second half of the other person's sentence.
"Then go and meet him! Remember to observe Yamos's expression, write it down, and tell me when the time comes, hahahaha!"
"."
Mr. Asa is a bold and heroic man A talkative person, he fits the stereotype of a hunter that ordinary people have.
When it comes to happy conversations, there is always a string of "hahahaha" in a few words. If it weren't for the bad timing, he would have taken Gordon Hayata to the pub for a few drinks.
Gordon was also a little confused as to what this uncle was thinking.
A few hours ago he was still looking serious, but now that the danger is getting closer, he becomes cheerful and even jumps out of his skin?
Probably aware of the weird looks in Gordon's eyes, Asa's smile faded slightly, but there was still a smile on his lips, "It's not a good thing to be too emotionally tense before a war."
Hayata, who understood some of the other party’s thoughts, sighed helplessly, “Mr. Asa, we are fine. Zhang, we have passed that stage.”
“Ah, yes.” Asa scratched his unshaven chin, “Looking at you, you are not much older than our daughter. I almost forgot that you are too. I’ve already been promoted.
Just think I’m nervous, hahaha.”
The two of them could only respond with a dry smile.
"I may be a little nervous, especially a few hours ago." Asa held his hands on the wall and looked at the busy people under the sunset.
“Our Metabetate is not on the migration path of ancient dragons. In the many years since it was built, we have not experienced several attacks from ancient dragons.
Those two buildings were defeated in a short period of time. There are two monsters in the fortress, and to be honest, I don’t have much confidence.”
Gordon looked sideways at Asa and listened quietly.
"But now, I have calmed down. The president is a decisive person. The evacuation work of the citizens should be almost in progress. The president has also arranged for those who cannot stay in the shelter to board a boat and leave the port for refuge. .
Here at the city wall, we have made all the preparations we can. There is nothing to worry about next. We just have to fight for our lives."
Gordon's expression suddenly froze, and his throat froze. Feeling tight and having trouble breathing.
He suddenly turned his head and looked to the east, in the direction of the coastline.
Mr. Asa’s words made him aware of some overlooked possibility.
No, that can no longer be said to be a possibility, it is simply a high probability event!
"What's the matter?"
Hayata immediately noticed something strange about him, and Asa, who was chattering and sighing, also looked over.
"We have fallen into a misunderstanding." Gordon's voice was a little stiff.
“What do you mean?”
Knowing that now was not the time to hesitate, Gordon took a deep breath and said quickly: "Metabetate is built on the seaside, facing the sea to the east, and the city wall is to the west.
The main purpose of building the city wall is to defend against the mountains and forests in the west. Monsters scurrying over
But attack and migration are two different things, so why should we? Are you sure that the mysterious monster and the mantis that destroyed the fortress will come towards the city wall from the west?
Ryuryakuin scholars have previously analyzed that the mysterious monster should be flying over the inland sea and hiding its whereabouts. .
Shouldn’t it come from the sea? ”
Hayata's eyes widened, and Asa turned pale.
Metabetate has beautiful scenery and rich seafood. It is a peaceful city that is rarely attacked by monsters. The number of emergency facilities such as shelters in the city is not particularly sufficient.
But there are a lot of boats here, fishing boats, merchant ships, yachts of wealthy people, and the port is also prosperous.
It should have been a very smart idea to organize some citizens who were difficult to relocate to board ships and go to sea to evacuate.
If the opponent is a Laoshan Dragon, Zhai Crab, etc., it is much safer to evacuate to the sea than to hide in an underground shelter in the city.
But if the monster comes from the sea.
Then the citizens who evacuate to the sea are just like packing themselves up and sending them to the monster.
“Yes, but the mantis should hate water, so it shouldn’t come from the direction of the seaside?” Hayata tried to put forward some optimistic possibilities.
“That would be even worse. The Mantis and the mysterious monster are not tied together. If the mysterious monster attacks from the east sea, the Mantis appears from the west and attacks the city wall.
We will have to organize two fronts, or we will be attacked from both sides." Just imagining that scene made Gordon feel numb.
"I'll inform the president!" Mr. Asa grabbed his helmet and ran down the city wall. "You two, hurry up and think of a solution!"
"What solution can you come up with?" The bad news gathered. Together, Gordon pounded his forehead as if that would bring him the solution.
"Can those piled up gunpowder and flammable materials do anything?" Hayata said anxiously: "The monster hasn't appeared yet, maybe there's still time to move them to the beach. Go aside?”
“It’s too late.” Gordon looked up and was about to finish. As the sun set on the horizon, he said impatiently: "It's too late. Gunpowder is not a bag of rice. You can only move it carefully because you can't get up quickly.
We still have to cross the city. If we start moving now, we may not be able to move it well before dawn. Moving to half the monsters will only cause more trouble
I can only think of more direct methods."
"What method? ! Any method will do! "The short and squat President Zheluo rushed up to the city wall. His agility was so strong that he hardly looked like an old man over sixty years old. Asa behind him was unable to catch up with him.
Gordon Hayata looked at him in astonishment.
The old guy was wearing a Tyrannosaurus armor. The style of the armor is a bit old, and there are obvious signs of damage and repairs, but the overall state of maintenance is pretty good.
Gordon couldn't recognize the sledgehammer he was carrying behind him. It was shiny, but it was. It looks like it's made of some kind of monster bones.
"Look what I'm doing?" President Zero stared, "I just heard you guys talk about a more direct way, what more direct way?"
Gordon turned his attention from President Zheluo's weapons and armor Take it back up.
It’s not surprising when you think about it.
The presidents of hunter guilds in various places are basically hunters, and most of them are experienced hunters with a very high level. Otherwise, it would not be so easy to subdue the rough and reckless people below.
Putting aside these unimportant things, Gordon gathered his thoughts and said quickly: "There is no barrier on the seaside. It is impossible to stop the monsters there. How about evacuating the citizens going to the sea? ”
"I have already sent people to make arrangements. Calling the ships back at this time will only cause more chaos. I keep the offshore ships as far away as possible. As long as they are far enough away from Metabetate, it will be safer."
" Well. "There is nothing inappropriate about this arrangement. Gordon put the matter behind him and continued:
"My idea is that we still have to bring the battlefield to the city wall. If That guy really came from the sea. We have to find a way to attract it to the city wall. Of course, it would be better to let it go outside the city."
Speaking of this, Gordon looked at the captain of the investigation team who was following him. "The Dragon Sense Ship should come in handy. When a mysterious monster appears while cruising over the sea, try to attract it.
I know it is dangerous, but"
"We'll try our best." The captain of the investigation team nodded and ran to the hanging ladder on the Longshi ship.
Following President Zheluo, the high-ranking swordsman named Devitt also made a suggestion, "I like trap tactics, and I have some experience in this aspect.
You can consider using the smell of food to lure you, not the mysterious monster Will it swallow gunpowder?
We can continue to burn gunpowder and sulfur near the place where the gunpowder is hidden, so that it may come along with the smell of food."
Gordon nodded immediately. "This is a good idea!"
"Whoosh——"
At this moment, a signal flare suddenly rose on the sea in the distance. This may have come from an offshore ship. The red light was particularly conspicuous in the dark night that had fallen.
On the city wall and by the dock, everyone is looking in that direction.
Under the gradually fading light of the flare, a terrifying creature so huge that it was hard to believe it could actually fly emerged from the darkness waving its giant wings.
The people crowded on the shore and crowded on the boat looked up blankly. They couldn't breathe, and even their heartbeats stopped, as if the whole world had fallen into absolute silence.
"Roar——"
The ray-like breath swept across the crowded dock, and after a short delay, the fire of the explosion dyed the night sky red. (End of this chapter)
