Chapter 476 The safest position
The explosive effect of the high-density dragon-killing carbon exceeded everyone's expectations.
However, since it is said to be an attack that can severely damage the ancient dragon, this level of power seems to be natural.
The moment the mushroom cloud rose, the hunters were satisfied, but the village chief's lady was very angry.
They forgot to say hello to the village chief’s lady in advance. The loud noise, fire and mushroom cloud really scared everyone in the village.
It is said that some tourists who did not know the truth thought there was an earthquake and ran out of the hot spring pool without wearing any clothes, causing a commotion.
The good-tempered lady of the village chief got angry rarely and strictly ordered the hunters to stay away from the village next time if they want to conduct such a level of explosion test.
Of course, there will be no next time.
The materials are already tight, and they are not fireworks. You can just play with them if you have nothing to do.
After confirming the power of high-density dragon-killing carbon, the administrator of the assembly hall immediately wrote a letter and sent it to the hunter headquarters in East Doruma.
At the flying speed of a peregrine falcon, it would take four days for the letter to come back and forth, plus it might take another day for the guild's senior management to hold a meeting to discuss.
So, Mr. Administrator asked the hunters to take a good rest and make all preparations. In about five days, the next order should be delivered.
As he expected, on the fourth day, they received a letter from the guild headquarters.
From what the administrator said, at this speed, the headquarters may have even skipped the meeting and discussion step.
The Great Elder gave the order directly, and the content was simple and clear.
—Execute it as soon as possible and blow up the Forbidden Skull.
Hunters who had been prepared for a long time immediately loaded up their weapons and luggage and embarked on the journey.
It is necessary to ensure speed, but also to avoid attracting Lanlong's attention prematurely and causing unnecessary trouble to the action.
Hunters adopted a similar way to the last time.
—Take an airship to the area near the Lingfeng Mountains. The airship lands early and walks the last twenty or thirty kilometers to the outskirts of the Lingfeng Mountains.
At the southern foot of the Lingfeng Mountains, somewhere in a hidden cave.
It is also a temporary camping site for hunters.
Gordon and others sat in a circle around the campfire, conducting necessary tactical discussions before each team mission.
The commander of this mission is still Hilda. Whether in terms of personal strength or experience in facing ancient dragons, she is more than a step ahead of the young hunters in front of her.
“There’s not much to say about the tactics themselves. The terrain in the eastern region of the most important main peak has been basically explored.”
Hilda spread out a map.
After collecting and summarizing information from the previous trip to Lingfeng, although the level of detail of this map is still not as good as those of maps of commonly used hunting grounds, it is completely sufficient.
“We are now located in the southern outskirts of the Lingfeng Mountains, to the ruins southeast of the main peak. The straight-line distance is about fifteen kilometers. Considering the rugged terrain, it takes about seven or eight hours to walk.
Sneak into the ruins at night, blow up the so-called 'Forbidden Skull' and then evacuate. It's very simple, right? Hilda said with a smile.
The three Gordons couldn't help but burst into laughter. It would be great if it could go so smoothly.
Hilda spread out the map and crossed her arms, "The next step is the most critical part, what to do if something unexpected happens.
First of all, this time everyone, including the hunting cats, brought cloaks for camouflage and grass juice to eliminate odors. In addition, they moved at night to minimize the risk of exposure as much as possible.
But we cannot pin everything on Lanlong’s “eyesore” and must be prepared for the worst. "
The three of them nodded.
“The most critical items in this battle, needless to say, are the materials for blending dragon-killing carbon. Thanks to Pig Chop for purifying the gunpowder rock, our easy movement is possible. Thank you Pig Chop.”
ˆ “.”
Under Hilda's gaze, the three Gordons looked at the pork chop and said in unison, "Thank you, pork chop!".
“Meow” Pork Chop was so embarrassed that his hair stood on end.
“Okay, that’s the end of the joke.”
Hilda's expression became serious, "The three ingredients for blending the dragon-killing carbon together only weigh more than a dozen kilograms. Carrying it by one person will not affect the movement.
I suggest by”
.Carried by Hayata.”
"ah?"
As the one with the strongest strength and the best physical fitness in the team, Gordon was already ready to be a coolie. How did he become Hayata?
Hilda ignored him and continued to explain: "There are two keys to this mission, one is to conceal the whereabouts, and the other is to conserve physical strength for emergencies.
So, although it takes about six hours to reach the ruins by driving at full speed, I plan to divide the journey into two days, or in other words, two nights.
We only moved at night. On the first night, we walked 11 kilometers to reach this location. "
Hilda pointed to a mountain peak on the map, "Isn't this mountain shaped like a mammoth? That's why I call it 'Bobo Mountain'."
Well, the name is not important. The key point is that there is a closed cave at the foot of the mountain. I found it when I passed here before. It is very safe and can be used as a resting point.
No matter how long it takes us to get here, even if we don’t feel tired at all, we still have to stop, enter the cave to rest, recuperate our energy, and wait for the arrival of the second night. "
The three Gordons nodded in unison. Faced with the threat of Gu Long, no one could be too cautious.
“The key lies in the second night. At this time, we are already very close to the main peak, and the probability of Lanlong appearing will also be greatly increased, so everyone must keep their spirits up.
The next is the most critical part, listen to me carefully.
If Lanlong discovers our traces and attacks, Gordon should rush out immediately and let Lanlong focus on you.
Ancil, the two of us will follow up. Don’t get too close to Gordon, but don’t let him out of our sight. To put it bluntly, it’s a distance that can provide fire cover. Do you understand? "
"no problem."
"clear."
Gordon and Anhill should be one after another.
“What about me?” Hayata couldn’t help but ask.
“Hayata, you lie down and hide on the spot. While the three of us are moving, it is unlikely that Lanlong will focus on you who are still lying down.
No matter what happens, you can't stand up until we lead Lan Long away. Do you understand?
You, or more accurately, the explosive materials on you, are the most important thing in this operation.
As long as you can successfully blast the head, even if there are casualties among the three of us, it will be worth it. "
Hayata opened her mouth to say something, but Hilda had already turned to Ellu, "Pork Chop, Pandan, you two follow Hayata.
Pork chop, remember to protect yourself, only you can prepare dragon-killing charcoal. In other words, your importance is as important as those explosive materials. "
“I understand, meow.”
“Good meow!”
After listening to Hilda's explanation, Gordon suddenly lost interest in asking Hilda why she chose Hayata as a "coolie".
Everyone with a discerning eye knows that although Hayata carries more than ten kilograms more weight, the tasks she is assigned are the safest.
He did not ask, but Hayata wanted to ask.
She stared into Hilda's eyes, "Why, let me perform this part."
Hilda waved her hand, "Don't think about it, it's not because you are a girl, nor because you are the youngest, nor because of your strength.
This mission is more important than you think. All arrangements must be based on the success rate. You are the most suitable person. "
Hayata continued to stare at her, obviously the former's vague statement did not convince her.
“Children today have such strong self-esteem? Then let me tell you in detail.”
Hilda smiled helplessly, "Lanlong is good at flying and can hardly land. Therefore, an archer who mainly uses long-distance attacks can play a greater role in containing it than a swordsman.
So Ancil and I’s mission is to provide fire cover, that’s for sure, so we can only choose between you and Gordon.
Gordon has stronger hard power and possesses powerful dragon-type weapons like Epitaph, so he must be the main force against Lanlong.
It is true that he has the experience of entering the ruins, but this cannot be a decisive factor, because there is also a pork chop, and it is enough to lead the way.
At the same time, as a Taito user, you are more flexible and your movement speed is much faster than Gordon. In order to reach the ruins as soon as possible and complete the blasting, these two qualities are very crucial.
Taking all of the above into account, you are the most suitable choice. Do you have any questions? "
".there is none left."
