Chapter 264 People Waiting
At the defensive position in the north of Lockak City, everyone's expressions were serious, even a little tragic.
More than an hour ago, the news brought back by the sand boat caused the Lockrack Assembly Hall to fall into a brief panic.
Although the battle between the fleet and the Lingshan Dragon has not yet been decided, everyone who heard the news can feel the difficulty of this battle.
The ammunition was exhausted, the Mineyama Maru was seriously damaged, and nearly half of the sand boat was destroyed. The battle group cut the safety rope to board the dragon, and the fishing fleet joined the battle.
Either one of them sounds like frightening bad news.
It was the guild leader who said, "The fleet is fighting desperately right now, and the preparation time bought for us is not wasted!" This shocked everyone back to their senses.
Hunters in the city spontaneously entered the position without a forced call.
Whether they are locals of Lockark or not, they are fighting for humanity at this time. If the Sand Ship Group is really destroyed, they will be Lockark's last barrier.
The strong man in charge of the fortress guerrillas was loudly lecturing the members of the guerrillas and archers who had completed their assembly.
"The most dangerous situation in the regulations has happened. You all know what to do. Show your backbone and don't let the hunters next door see the joke!"
In front of the position, the guild leader looked at the northern horizon and remained silent.
A staff member came over and asked in a low voice: "All the fighting forces in the city have gathered here. Do you want to explain the situation to the citizens in the shelter and call in volunteers?"
The guild leader was silent for a moment and shook his head, "No need to worry about it yet. The opponent is an ancient dragon. It is difficult for ordinary hunters to use it. Letting ordinary people go to the front line will only cause more chaos.
There should be enough manpower to carry ammunition. You can help me pay attention to it later. If any chamber of commerce does not contribute at all, there is no need to appear in Lockrak. "
“Hey, senior, you are really strict!”
The man known as the "rich merchant" came to the guild leader wearing a suit of armor that was very characteristic of the people of the Western Continent.
This is armor carefully crafted by the craftsmen of Shikoku using special minerals from the Mineyama Dragon as raw materials.
The famous work [Yamato].
The guild leader gave the wealthy merchant a sideways glance.
“Finally willing to show up? I’m still planning to nail a sign on the city gate pillar starting next year if I can’t see you tonight.
“Shiguo merchants are not allowed to enter.” From now on, you won’t even be able to buy a piece of ore from Lockark! "
“Hahaha, how can that be possible!”
The wealthy businessman laughed and said, "Didn't I introduce two outstanding young people to you before? We care about Lockak too much!"
The guild leader stared and said angrily: "How dare you say that? You sent someone all the way here for a missing weapon blueprint, and you still want to take credit for it?"
“You know everything?” The wealthy businessman smiled and didn’t care.
“Pork Chop told me.”
The guild leader snorted coldly. Just when he was about to say something else, he noticed a sand boat with a tattered hull speeding towards him in the distance.
The guild leader abandoned the wealthy merchant and rushed forward.
The sand boat arriving in front of the position gradually slowed down, and Cessna jumped down from it, waving her hands, jumping and screaming.
"Successful! Successful! The Lingshan Dragon has been repulsed!"
The guild let out a long breath and quickly asked: "How do you say it? How do you say it? Have you confirmed that Lingshan Dragon has left? What are the casualties?"
“Repulse confirmed!”
At this point, Cessna's expression became serious again, and she lowered her voice and said: "The casualties are heavy, with more than 60% of the injured, and everyone in the combat group is injured, and the number of dead has not yet been determined.
Hongshan Maru, seven sand boats and two fishing boats lost the ability to sail. The leader said that there is an urgent need for Lockrack to send support to participate in search and rescue and medical work. "
The guild leader loudly called several staff members to quickly arrange the response team and rescue work.
The personnel are all ready, and the response team can set off soon.
Seeing that the guild leader had arranged all this, Cessna was about to say something, but when she saw the wealthy businessman approaching, she immediately shut her mouth vigilantly.
The guild leader drove away the wealthy businessman like a fly, and asked worriedly: "What else happened?"
Sessna looked around and reported in a low voice: "What a great harvest! What a great harvest! Not to mention the catch of the fishing fleet, we have taken down almost all the amethysts from the back of the Lingshan Dragon.
There are also various ores scattered everywhere in the combat area!
The leader asked me to tell you, quickly arrange for a trustworthy transportation team to go there and recover the crystals and ores overnight. Don't let some people take advantage! "
As he spoke, Cessna glanced at the wealthy businessman from a distance, and her meaning was self-evident.
Hong Kong businessman: "?"
"Oh! By the way, the leader and Gordon also removed one of the tusks of the Lingshan Dragon. It was twenty meters long! We may have to send a camel team to drag it back!"
Sessna was chirping, and Guild President Mustache was very happy to hear it. The sorrow after learning about the heavy casualties was also diluted a lot.
“Arrangement! Everything is easy to arrange!”
President Mustache waved his hand to summon the leader of the fortress guerrillas, "Well, just find any excuse and say that the guild has a secret operation or something, and we will be under martial law for one day after dawn.
No one is allowed to leave the city without my permission! Especially those merchants with sand boats, keep an eye on me carefully! "
As he said that, President Mustache also glanced at the wealthy businessman from afar.
The leader of the city guerrillas followed the chairman's line of sight, squinted his eyes to remember the appearance of the wealthy merchant, and nodded heavily.
Hong Kong businessman: “???”
After President Mustache had arranged all the matters, the wealthy businessman walked forward rubbing his hands.
“Ah~, senior, can you tell me? Is it this year?”
"right!"
President Mustache responded to the other party’s guess without hesitation. In his eyes, there was the shrewdness and cunning unique to a businessman.
“This year’s harvest will be a bumper harvest, a super bumper harvest! Does Lingshan Dragon know about it? Fengshan Dragon subspecies is a super rare and super mysterious existence that is much more powerful than Fengshan Dragon.
Special crystals rich in mysterious energy, various rare ores, and a twenty-meter-long ancient dragon tusk, more than you can eat! "
“You can eat it, of course you can eat it!” The wealthy merchant rubbed his hands frantically, “The price is negotiable, so please give us priority!”
“Well, after all, the Lingshan Dragon is rare to see in a thousand years. Not to mention you, well, I’m talking about Shiguo behind you. Even the Hunter Guild Headquarters, the Ancient Dragon Observation Bureau, and the Kingdom are all very greedy.”
The corner of the wealthy businessman's mouth twitched. Now he started to take advantage of the situation?
"If you have any requests, just ask." The wealthy merchant gritted his teeth and said.
“The fleet was severely damaged. The most important Fengshan Pill was shattered into pieces, all the sand boats were destroyed, and most of the fishing fleet was damaged. It’s hard for me as the guild leader to handle this.”
Hong Kong businessman: "."
"The casualties among the crew were also very heavy. I'm not fooling you. You will see when the rescue team comes back later. There are big holes in various pensions, bonuses, and subsidies." The guild leader said with a heavy expression.
Hong Kong businessman: "."
“But this time, the Gordons and others you introduced have done a great job, so I guess you have done a small job, but you can’t treat them badly, otherwise no one in the fleet will agree.
Well, before formal negotiations begin, let me first see how sincere you are, how generous your rewards are to them, and then decide how stingy I am when I sell you ore this year. "
Hong Kong businessman: "."
