Monster Hunt: Notes From a Hunter Chapter 570

Chapter 570 The Collapsed City Wall

The night is already very deep, since Laoshanlong appeared and the battle started, most of the day has passed.

The first city wall of the old village is already in sight.

On the city wall, beside the city wall, there are densely packed artillery and heavy bed crossbow positions, and hunters from all over the place are waiting.

Compared to the high-ranking hunters who are always fighting with Laoshanlong, their fighting intensity is not so high. The main thing is to clear up small monsters and take turns manipulating the forts along the way as planned.

So the status is not bad.

"Phew!"

A green flare was shot into the air.

Gordon, who was wielding a big sword mechanically, raised his head in a daze. The fatigue accumulated from long-term high-intensity fighting made his mind a little confused, and he didn't realize what the signal flare meant for a while.

"Senior Gordon."

Hayata, who was also exhausted, sheathed her knife and took a breath, "Senior Gordon, this is the signal to retreat."

"Retreat?"

Gordon was stunned for a few seconds before realizing, "Ah, yes, it's time to retreat temporarily."

According to the original plan, the duty of the high-ranking hunters is to hold back as much as possible on the battle street and try their best to cause damage to them.

And when the old mountain dragon came to the city wall, the responsibility of fighting would be handed over to the hunters guarding the city wall.

The martial arts skills of the high-ranking swordsmen can't exert much effect on the city wall, so it's better to withdraw and rest for a while.

The city wall of the village is not a wall in the conventional sense. The cliffs on both sides in front of the city wall are also part of the fortifications. There is nothing visible on the surface, but in fact the interior has already been hollowed out.

The field hospital, the main warehouse, and many key defense facilities are set up in it.

Just as Lao Shanlong passed the cliff and was about to approach the city wall, several special crossbow arrows over one meter long and made of pure steel shot out from the facilities inside the cliff.

These crossbow bolts with huge barbs and dragging special ropes are restraint bullets specially used against super-large ancient dragons.

Under the precise control of the elite archers in the fortification, these crossbow bolts went straight to Lao Shanlong, and went to several wounds made by the high-ranking hunters, and stuck firmly in it.

"Roar-"

Amid Lao Shanlong's roar, the rope stretched instantly.

The sound of "creaking and creaking" made people's teeth sour, but these ropes made of unknown materials did not break, but firmly restrained Lao Shanlong's actions, forcing him to stop.

"so smart?!"

Heniya, who was covered in dust and looked ashamed, put down her shield and axe, and muttered, "Why didn't you use such a useful thing sooner?"

Amos glanced at the shield-axe user who didn't like to use his brain, "The key is those wounds, otherwise restraint bullets wouldn't be able to get in. If it's so easy, why call us here?"

"Too!"

Several hunters, led by a gray-haired old hunter in his fifties, ran out from the fortifications in the cliff.

"Estin." Xia Zuo stepped forward to greet him.

The two are at the same time. Although the former is not in the top position, his rich experience and bold personality make him have a good reputation among the local hunters in Minergard. He is responsible for leading the hunters on the city wall to carry out defensive operations.

"Leave it to us here, you take the time to eat and rest."

The old hunters were very agile and didn't talk nonsense. Under their cover, the high-ranking hunters entered the fortifications dug deep in the cliff.

Outside, the dragon roared and the artillery roared.

"have a good rest."

Estin still has too many things to do, so he said hello and left in a hurry.

Soon someone brought food and water to the high-ranking hunters.

The logistics personnel who have no combat effectiveness have all withdrawn from the village, and the food is only the simplest to carry food, but now no one cares about these, just eat with clear water.

Ted threw the food into his big mouth one by one, "Shall we go up to the city wall to have a look? I still have a lot of energy!"

The sound of continuous gunfire made him very angry.

Xia Zuo glared at him, "Don't talk nonsense, fill your stomach quickly, rest on the spot, and try to sleep for a while."

"oh"

Hayata found a hunter who was temporarily free, and hoped that he could help send a letter to the guild, saying that the weapons were sent over urgently.

There are several other people who also need to change equipment, so they explained to him together.

Gordon, who had no need in this regard, swallowed the fifth portion of food and lay down on the spot.

He fell into a deep sleep with the sound of fierce battles outside the fortifications.

Time seems to have passed only a moment.

Gordon opened his eyes.

A hunter who smelled like gunpowder and had cannon fodder on his face was just about to reach out to wake him up, but was startled by his opening his eyes earlier.

The two looked at each other for a second, and the hunter came back to his senses, "Sorry, Mr. Estin asked me to wake you up."

Gordon nodded and stood up.

He wasn't sure how long he had slept, but his limbs and spirit, which were much lighter, told him that it was a good night's sleep.

As far as this sentence is concerned, Xia Zuo and Amos have already opened their eyes and looked over.

Especially Amos, he didn't even lie down, his back was straight, and he sat cross-legged, with the Flying Dragon Saber [Silver] lying across his knees, as if he was replacing sleep with meditation.

It seems that I heard Hariyata said that this is called Dao Zen?

Gordon turned his gaze and looked at Hayata again. She was curled up beside her, hugging Pandan and snoring comfortably, sleeping soundly.

Uh, this shows the gap.

With a curious mind, Gordon made a general observation. It is true that the older people are, the more vigilant they are. The least vigilant is Hayata. She is still sleeping after everyone gets up.

Amos's face turned dark, and he kicked her to wake her up.

Gordon couldn't help but bring in the next identity. If the person lying snoring under the eyes of everyone was Fengying, he couldn't help kicking her.

With that guy's vigilance, he probably needs to kick a few more times before he wakes up.

"Boom—"

The loud noise from outside the cliff fortifications made the hunters startled. They didn't care about breakfast or anything, and rushed outside with their weapons on their backs.

The sky is already bright.

Going from the dim interior of the fortification to the bright outdoors, Gordon subconsciously stretched out his hand to block his eyes.

When his vision barely recovered and he saw everything in front of him clearly, his pupils shrank suddenly.

The originally complete and solid city wall has already collapsed in half.

Most of the numerous turrets and heavy bed crossbows have also been destroyed. Many shooters who lost their gun positions had to set up their own weapons and launch almost meaningless shots at Lao Shanlong.

"Roar!"

The carapace was damaged in many places, and the old mountain dragon with many wounds and scorched marks on its body stretched its forelimbs, stood upright, and rushed towards the crumbling city wall.

The commander on the city wall could be heard shouting, "It has stood up! Has the Dragon Striking Spear been loaded?!"

"The left dragon gun is completely stuck! The right side is also faulty, the steam boiler is leaking, and the maximum power cannot be guaranteed!"

"Don't worry about it! Start it immediately, and give it another shot before the city wall is destroyed!"

There was another loud noise like a landslide, and the old mountain dragon lay on the city wall, biting and scratching.

"Start! Quick!" the commander roared.

A huge stream of steam spurted out from the almost ruined city wall, and the high-speed rotating giant steel gun pierced forward, pressing against Lao Shanlong's chest, pushing him away.

Dragon blood splatter.

With a roar of pain, Lao Shanlong lowered his head and bit the spinning dragon gun, countless sparks were produced from the friction between the dragon teeth and the steel.

Lao Shanlong swung his long neck and pulled hard.

Under the astonishing strength proportional to its size, the dragon slaying gun was pulled out of the wall, together with part of the power mechanism, and destroyed a large part of the city wall.

Many hunters on the top of the city screamed and fell and were buried in the ruins.

The first city wall has been broken.

Without anyone's command, the high-ranking hunters drew their weapons one after another.

"Let's go!"
