Chapter 556 Is it too late to switch to air combat?
Gordon and the other swordsmen were unable to help with the debugging of the artillery. They continued to move forward, and the first wall of the old village soon appeared in front of them.
This city wall is obviously smaller than the one we saw last night, with a height of less than thirty meters, and there is only one dragon gun equipped inside the wall.
But this does not mean that this wall is fragile.
In Gordon's opinion, the location of this city wall, which was the first to be attacked, was very good, even better than the second city wall that served as the final line of defense for the old stronghold.
This is a long and narrow pass, the narrowest point is only thirty meters wide, and Laoshanlong can barely pass it with its size.
The city wall is set up here, not only using the least building materials, but the narrow but thicker trapezoidal wall can also ensure higher strength and is very reliable.
Therefore, the main warehouse supplying the front section of Battle Street and the field hospital to receive the wounded were also set up around this city wall.
Like the second city wall, this place is also busy, and at the same time, there are also many hunters stationed here.
According to them, this construction site is more dangerous than the second city wall. Occasionally, there will be small monsters such as Pterosaurus, which are attracted by the noise of repairing the city wall.
So they must arrange for manpower to stand guard 24 hours a day to eliminate small monsters that may appear at any time to prevent them from harming the craftsmen.
Through the narrow city gate, the hunters entered the front part of the entire old village, the battle street that was more than five kilometers long.
“It feels like the density of the forts here is much smaller.” Gordon commented as he watched.
“Yeah, but there are a lot more heavy-duty crossbows.” Xia Zuo looked up at the land bridge above his head, “There are several installed on each land bridge, and they should be used to kill small monsters, such as the Pterosaurus.”
“I’ll go up to the land bridge and have a look!” Agaxi, who never spoke much, said hello and trotted up the simple stairs on the cliff.
Hayata doesn’t quite understand why this senior with a low sense of presence is so excited.
Chip, the ax wielder who is familiar with the latter, explained with a smile, "They like to find terrain in the air combat style, especially those who use insect sticks. There are all insect stick users who don't like to use their backs."
Hayata couldn't help but think of Maka who had been slapped away several times by the Thunder Wolf Dragon, but still couldn't help but put her back on his back, and nodded in understanding.
With the mentality of familiarizing themselves with the facilities, everyone also followed the land bridge.
The land bridge deck was about 17 or 18 meters above the ground. Gordon glanced down and felt that it was basically impossible to jump from this height without getting injured, regardless of whether he would die or not.
Agashi is also in a bit of a dilemma. Being good at aerial combat is one thing, but this height is a bit too high. Even she is not sure of landing safely.
"No, senior Xia Zuo, what is the approximate height of Laoshanlong's spine?" Gordon suddenly realized and turned around to ask Xia Zuo.
“According to data records, the height of the ridge in the crawling state is approximately fifteen meters.”
“That’s no wonder”
Agaxi was also stunned, "It turns out this is a very convenient design."
“If there is such a height difference, you can also consider holding the explosive barrel and jumping on the back of Laoshan Dragon to detonate it.”
“It’s Meow. He can specialize in making super big explosive bombs Meow, which is used against dragons. I’ve used Meow before to deal with Lingshan Dragon!”
Pork chop, who had previously said he was going to wake up Pandan, appeared here in Evelin’s arms for some unknown reason.
Gordon's eyes became subtle.
He was about to say something when he suddenly remembered the sound of a sharp horn in the distance.
That was obviously some kind of emergency signal.
The hunters' expressions suddenly became solemn, and they rushed down the land bridge in three steps and two steps, running towards the direction where the horn sound came from.
They were running along the canyon, and there was a strange sound in front of them. The hunter's shouts were mixed with the sharp screams of the monsters, which were the sounds of battle.
The pace of the hunters further accelerated.
As they rushed through a corner, the scene of a fierce battle came into view.
Those were several pterosaurs, taking turns swooping down to attack a hunter holding a sledgehammer.
The sledgehammer was heavy, and the strength of the sledgehammer user was not outstanding. He roared and swung the sledgehammer, but his opponent always nimbly dodged it.
Faced with repeated attacks by the Pterosaurs, they could only barely protect themselves.
Since Pterosaurs are good at flying and have the habit of hunting in groups, they rarely act alone. Among all small monsters, they can be said to be the most difficult to deal with.
Originally, Pterosaurus was considered a member of the wyvern species due to its "typical" body structure, and was nicknamed the "smallest wyvern".
But later, with the development of anatomy and in-depth research, the scholars of the Paleontological Scriveners Team changed its biological classification.
Classify it into an extremely rare species - the snake dragon species.
Since then, novice hunters can no longer brag about hunting wyverns by hunting wyverns.
Seeing that the sledgehammer was in a tough fight, Xia Zuo, who was running at the front, activated his two blades, and the raging fighting spirit filled his body.
Ghost transformation!
His speed suddenly increased and turned into an afterimage, shooting forward quickly.
Gordon, who was trying hard to catch up, couldn't help but slow down, as he had nothing to do.
This uncle with a pair of swords with slightly white temples can be said to be the fastest among all the hunters he knows.
This position once belonged to Julius.
It is true that Julius's strength is still on the rise, but at least for now, Xia Zuo is faster than him.
When Xia Zuo started to transform into a ghost, Hayata and Evelin, who were still in the first queue, were instantly separated. The only person who could barely keep up with him was the insect stick user Agaxi.
According to Gordon's visual inspection, each step of this senior with astonishingly long legs exceeds two meters, and the frequency of steps is extremely fast. The whole person looks like he is flying close to the ground.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the two of them had approached the position less than ten meters away from the Sledgehammer and the Pteranodon battle group.
The cruel but cautious Pterosaurs sensed the danger, gave up their attack on the Hammer User, flapped their wings and began to take off, and soon rose into the air four to five meters.
This is an unattainable height for most swordsmen.
But the two people who rushed forward obviously did not belong to the "vast majority".
Xia Zuo adjusted his direction slightly and rushed to the nearly vertical cliff on the side. Taking advantage of the protruding rocks on the cliff, he jumped into the air. Then he kicked off the rock wall with both feet and somersaulted back to reach the few heads that had risen into the air. Between the winged serpents.
Twisted the spiral arms, the sharp swords in both hands turned into whirlwinds of sharp blades, and the two serpents were cut into pieces as the blood flew.
“Ji Ga!”
Since it was flying higher, the basilisk that narrowly escaped death screamed and tried its best to flap its wings and continue to rise.
At this time, Agaxi had already rushed to the nearby area. She twirled the insect stick in her hand and pointed the tip of the stick toward the ground. The force of the charge turned into a lift force under the lever of the insect stick, sending her into the air.
At this moment, she seemed to be freed from the constraints of gravity and soared above the Pterosaur. The sharp blade of the club easily penetrated the Pterosaur's back, and the tip of the blade pierced out from its chest.
——
The neighing sound of the Pteranodon stopped for a moment, and its slender body turned into a corpse, twitching and being nailed to the ground.
Agaxi stepped on the body of the Pterosaurus and landed on the ground. He pulled out the insect stick, danced it like a stick, shook off the blood stained on the head of the stick, and put it back behind his back.
In the blink of an eye, the three-headed serpent dragon was eliminated.
Gordon, who witnessed all this from a distance, stopped.
Hmm, is it still too late for me to switch to aerial combat with the sword?
