Chapter 1569 You won’t hit the same trick twice!
The cone-shaped cannonball, which was comparable in size to a large wild boar king, roared in the wind, traveled hundreds of meters in the blink of an eye, and bombarded the black dragon's side.
“Boom, boom, boom—!”
The golden explosion rising into the sky enveloped the black dragon’s body, and the spreading blast wind overturned the ships at the dock, leaving piles of cargo that could not be transferred in time. It was blown away and eventually formed a huge mushroom cloud.
On the Longshi ship, everyone who was knocked down by the recoil of the fire jumped up and cheered loudly.
At this distance, whether the cannonball can accurately hit the target depends on skill for three points and luck for seven points.
Obviously, they had good luck this time.
The cannonball hits the target directly. Even if the subsequent violent explosion is not considered, the power of the pointed conical warhead hitting the black dragon will never be inferior to that of the dragon gun.
Even an ancient dragon species would definitely be seriously injured under this direct hit.
"All ships! Concentrate fire!" The general's roar suppressed the cheers of the crowd.
As a person who participated in the defense battle of East Doruma, he knew very well how strong the ancient dragon's body was.
Even though today's dragon-killing cannons are much more technologically advanced and more powerful than they were ten years ago, steel dragons and black dragons are not creatures of the same level.
He is not so optimistic that he thinks that after this shot, the black dragon will lose its fighting ability.
What they should do now is to take advantage of the momentum to pursue and cause as much damage as possible before the black dragon launches a counterattack.
Fortunately, the operators of every large spaceship are elites from various countries.
After cheering, they immediately returned to their respective posts, with a total of more than thirty artillery pieces of various types firing in turns.
Even if most of the cannonballs fall into the air, the few that hit are enough to cause huge damage to any kind of creature.
"Continue to attack! Don't stop!" the general roared.
Second round, third round, fourth round.
The once prosperous port of Minagarde has been turned into ruins amidst explosions and loud noises.
The thick smoke obscured their vision, but everyone in the sky could vaguely see the dark figure still standing deep in the smoke.
"Roar——!"
Just as the fifth round of bombardment was about to begin, a large stream of dragon flames spurted out.
The nearest airship was almost hit by the dragon flames. It turned urgently and was scorched by the aftermath.
The dragon flames swept across, and the airships dispersed one after another. The formation of the fleet was destroyed as a result, the attack paused, and the smoke that shrouded the port also dissipated under the heat wave.
The black dragon's appearance at this time was unavoidable.
The direct hit from the Dragon Slayer Cannon was indeed seriously injured. A huge hole was opened from the side ribs to the abdomen.
Through this wound, you can even see the exposed ribs and internal organs.
But this is the only injury on the black dragon that can be called "serious".
Almost all the remaining cannonballs were blocked by the dragon wings it held in front of it.
This pair of dragon wings is so hard that it is unbelievable. After being bombarded by dozens of cannonballs, there were only some scorch marks and cracks.
As for the most critical part of the wing bone, there was no damage at all.
The general's face was as dark as a piece of carbon.
In his tactical plan, this round of preemptive concentrated fire did not seek to eliminate the black dragon, or even cause serious injuries to the black dragon.
But its wings must be damaged to weaken or even cut off the black dragon's ability to fly.
In this way, the airship fleet can take the absolute initiative in the battle, and there is no need to worry about the black dragon leaving here and continuing to attack other cities.
But now it seems that this can only be said to be a delusion.
The attack of the cannonball cannot even effectively penetrate the black dragon's wing membrane. Perhaps only the power of the dragon-killing cannon can really hurt it.
"Disperse the entire ship! Continue the fire suppression, and fire the dragon-killing cannon immediately after loading!" After a brief thought, the general issued a new order.
On the Dragon Sense ship, with the efforts of the three cross team members and the strong sailors, the second dragon-killing bomb was finally loaded.
In order to ensure the accuracy of the attack, the Dragon Sense Ship began to take risks and accelerate forward, shortening the distance between it and the target.
The gunners on the huge gun base quickly turned the gears, adjusted the muzzle pointing, and put the sight on the black dragon again. The gunner responsible for firing slammed the trigger.
“Boom!”
Under the huge recoil, the entire Dragon Sense ship retreated several meters backward.
The muzzle flames scorched the bow deck of the ship, and the incredibly powerful cannonball turned into a stream of light and struck the black dragon on the pier, which had folded its wings to defend against the bombardment.
"Hit!" The light crossbow of the cross team made Lan pump his fist excitedly.
As a shooter, he made a judgment the moment the cannon came out of the chamber. The impact point of this cannonball was very accurate.
The one or two seconds that the cannonball takes to fly is not enough for the black dragon to rise into the air and avoid it. It will definitely hit the target!
However, the Black Dragon's reaction speed exceeded their expectations.
Facing the incoming cannonballs, the black dragon opened its huge mouth and spit out a ball of blazing dragon flames.
The dragon-killing bombs, which are charged with high-density dragon-killing carbon and loaded with fuzes before launch, are very sensitive and detonated in advance at the moment of collision with the dragon flames.
"Boom--!"
A huge fireball with a diameter of nearly fifty meters exploded in mid-air. The hot flame waves and shock waves pushed the black dragon back for a long distance. .
Everyone on the Longshi ship who was about to cheer choked up. No one could have imagined that the black dragon could still neutralize the attack in this way.
The investigation team leader hurriedly raised his telescope and looked at the target. As he expected, the aftermath of the explosion was obviously unable to cause effective damage to the black dragon.
He could even see a trace of human mockery on the black dragon's ferocious face.
As if to say, it will not hit the same attack twice.
"Hurry up and reload!" The captain of the investigation team put down the telescope and gave the order loudly.
But the black dragon obviously did not intend to give them another chance to try. It ignored the bombardment of other airships, opened its wide dragon wings, and flapped violently.
The huge body jumped into the air like a flexible bird, speeding towards the Dragon Sense Ship.
The captain of the investigation team immediately took over the steering wheel from the helmsman and turned the wheel. However, no matter how fast the airship was, it was still a dead thing controlled by someone.
In terms of flexibility, it is simply not comparable to a dragon that is good at flying.
Seeing this, the general immediately issued a defensive order to cover each other and shrink the formation with Longshi Ship as the core.
The Dragon Sense Ship, to be precise, the Dragon Slayer Cannon on the Dragon Sense Ship, is the core of the entire fleet, and the black dragon cannot be allowed to knock it down under any circumstances.
When necessary, even if you use other airships to hit it, you must stop it!
But just when the ships rushed back to defend, they gathered closer and closer.
The black dragon suddenly flapped its wings sharply, accelerated and climbed at a nearly vertical angle, rushed out of the encirclement of the airship fleet, penetrated into the clouds, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The fleet surrounding the Dragon Sense ship was briefly confused. After a while of adjustment, they re-completed the formation, collectively climbed to altitude, and accelerated in pursuit of the black dragon.
Below.
Jin, who was full of embarrassment, crawled back to the ruins of the Minagard Port pier, stretched out his hand again, and pulled the old guys ashore.
"Damn it, you are such a coward. Are you running away now?" Gene took off the broken helmet and kept cursing, "What a disgrace to the ancient dragon species!"
Ernest and the others His eyes were filled with worry.
Brainless monsters are not scary. No matter how strong they are, they can always be solved with just the number of people.
This powerful and cunning monster is the most troublesome. With the speed of the fleet, can it catch up with it?
The various vehicles in the MH world are also a major feature, including Lockrak's sand ship, the brigade's Isana, and Ryuuriin's dragon consciousness ship. , the research base of the survey team, and Elgard’s huge battleship.
The beauty of machinery is also the romance of men (sentiment)
