Chapter 858 The Queen’s New Market City
Gordon and the others were not blind, so they naturally noticed that Mantis had stepped up its attack on the city wall.
This seems to be some kind of venting behavior when the hunter is not encountered, but with the intelligence of Ge Mantis, it is obvious that he will not engage in such a meaningless behavior.
What does it do? Break through the city wall and enter the city?
No matter what the real purpose is, stop it anyway!
“Intensify the attack!” Gordon yelled.
Ancil changed his attack method and used continuous fire suppression to limit the movement of Ge Mantis.
Gordon charged in a straight line regardless, launching a desperate attack on the mantis's relatively fragile head and thorax.
This method of attack is too risky. If you are not careful, you will be chopped into pieces by the blade arm. He would never do this when hunting alone, but now, he has companions to cover him.
Ancil's crossbow shells repeatedly hit the sheath-like joints of the Mantis's arthropods. Although it could not directly penetrate the joints, the movements of the Mantis would be affected from time to time under frequent shooting.
Hayata’s covering method is more direct.
In the state of courage, the air blade is highly concentrated, and the control of the limbs is also precise. She clearly feels that her sword skills have improved to a big level.
She began to frequently use her favorite move - the defensive counterattack of the air blade slash. (gp)
Silk attack, slashing, blade arm attack, deflection, swinging dragon gun. This deflection is a bit unrealistic, but if you are prepared in advance, you can also deflect it slightly to change the direction of the attack.
She even somewhat enjoyed this process of showing off tricks and jingling. When Mantis was about to attack Gordon, she would take the initiative to cut in and block the attack.
This made Gordon's plan to storm a lot smoother.
Able to control the mechanical behemoth by relying on silk threads, Mantis is very good at multi-tasking, but being able to react does not mean that it can cope with it.
There is no better way. It can only resist Ancier's shooting interference, rush left and right under the joint suppression of the two swordsmen, and continue to operate the dragon gun to bombard the city wall.
This made Gordon increasingly uneasy.
If Pavilion Mantis had used the dragon gun for defense, its situation would undoubtedly have been much better. However, it endured being slashed by the sword and having green blood splattered all over its body, but it still insisted on using the dragon gun to attack the city wall.
Could it be that after the city wall collapsed, it could be overturned immediately?
A comeback, etc.? !
Gordon suddenly turned his head to look at the crumbling city wall.
There are crossbow cannons on the city walls, reinforced steel beams, dragon guns, and supporting power mechanisms in the walls.
"It will break down the city walls and build a ruined city with ruins!" Gordon roared, but there was no better way to stop it.
“Boom!”
There was another explosion-like roar, and the dragon-shooting gun controlled by Ge Mantis blasted through the steel city gate. It continued to swing the silk thread and pulled hard.
Half of the metal city gate was forcefully pulled out of the city gate hole.
“Chi—!” The mantis chirped like a cheer.
More golden lines shot out and wrapped around the city gate.
Under the complex operation of its jointed limbs and blade arms, the heavy steel city gate seemed to be given life, flying to its side like a huge shield, protecting half of its body.
Seal the hunters' offensive line tightly.
They tried to go around, but under the control of Ge Mantis, this five-six-meter-high shield was far more flexible than they imagined, and they couldn't even see the opponent's movements.
With the "armor" at hand, Ge Mantis simply stopped attacking the hunters. While protecting himself with this huge shield, he controlled the dragon gun and bombarded the city wall with all his strength.
“Tangle it! I’ll find a way!” Ancil yelled.
He folded and put away the hot heavy crossbow, blew a whistle, and called back the strong wind that was jumping around the mantis but couldn't find a place to bite.
“Up to the city wall!” Anhil shouted as he turned over and jumped onto the saddle.
“Wooow!”
The strong wind's limbs, which were too thick to look like a dog, exploded with force, carrying Anhir and turned into a white shadow, rushing towards the city wall.
When it was still several meters away from the city wall, it jumped up suddenly, dug its sharp claws into the gaps in the bricks of the city wall, and rushed upward.
Although the walls of the city wall were not completely vertical for the sake of stability during construction, is it really at an angle that can be run up? !
"Everyone retreat immediately! The city wall is about to collapse, and you can't do anything here! Go to the city to help with the rescue!" Anhir ordered the low-star hunters who had been arranged to stay and garrison.
This is a bit direct, but it is also true.
The Mantis is not a particularly large monster. Several high-ranking hunters on the silver side struggled fiercely with it. The hunters operating heavy crossbows and artillery were worried about accidental damage, so they didn't dare to fire.
Faced with Ancier's retreat order, the hunters hesitated.
“What are you still doing in a daze? Let’s go quickly!”
Perhaps due to Ancil's identity as a high-ranking hunter, or perhaps because his orders seemed too confident, the hunters finally chose to obey and evacuate quickly.
“Boom!”
There was another roar and tremor, and the cracks had spread to the top of the city wall. It might not take long before this wall, which was far from meeting the standards of a fortress, would collapse.
Anhil didn't care about this and quickly came to the activation mechanism of the dragon gun.
The accumulation of steam has been completed long ago. This dragon gun was originally reserved for the mysterious ancient dragon, but now it is obvious that it cannot wait any longer.
I just hope that the steam power mechanism inside the wall is not too seriously damaged and can still be started.
“Gordon!”
Hold the excitation hammer and was ready to activate it. Anhil shouted towards the bottom of the city wall.
Glancing at the city wall, Gordon realized what Ancil was going to do and began to try to induce Ge Mantis to move. Hayata also cooperated through a guerrilla attack.
The position of Ge Mantis is little by little closer to the only dragon gun in the center of the city wall.
It's now!
Ancil slammed down the starting device.
Unable to wait to see the result, he jumped on Gale's back and let it cling to the lower city wall.
The roar of machinery came from inside the city wall.
Fortunately, the dragon-killing gun can still be activated normally, but with the vibration and operation of the machine, the cracked city wall becomes more shaky.
After a short delay of two or three seconds, the steam-driven dragon gun rotated at high speed and stabbed out with a bang.
This is a blow powerful enough to pierce through the mantis.
However, the Mantis seemed to have been prepared, ignoring the hunters' entanglement, and nimbly jumped back to dodge.
The dragon-killing spear that Ancil had high hopes for was stabbed in the air. The internal connectors also fell off. The steel spearhead hung over there and did not retract into the wall.
——
The mantis made a mocking cry.
Several more strands of worm threads were shot out and wrapped around the broken dragon gun. As the threads were stretched and pulled, the tip of the dragon gun was pulled out by Mantis and turned into its new weapon. .
Gordon's scalp is a little numb. Other monsters are getting weaker and weaker as they are beaten, but this guy is getting stronger and stronger.
But they had no particularly good way to stop it. They could only watch helplessly as the mantis swung its tail segment, and the two dragon-shooting guns turned into afterimages along with the silk threads, and smashed against the city wall together.
“Boom!”
The cracks on the already overwhelmed city wall continued to expand, and the city wall that had protected Metabetat for decades finally collapsed completely.
“Ji Ga—!”
The mantis screamed excitedly, and countless worm threads were thrown out like rain, wrapping around the steel beams, masonry, artillery, machinery, and other objects that could be used by it.
A mechanical behemoth that is completely different from the one in the impression rises from the ground.
The huge body is covered with spikes composed of machinery and masonry fragments.
Hooked by golden silk threads, three pairs of legs are very conspicuous, consisting of steel beams, machinery, and large pieces of masonry. On the thickest pair of legs in the middle, there are two gleaming dragon-shooting guns hanging on the left and right, like Folded wing claws.
Under the highly recognizable triangular head, a crying face pattern is also drawn with golden silk thread.
This is the image of the mysterious ancient dragon.
(In order to avoid confusion for readers who have never played this game, here is nonsense, Xucheng = mechanical behemoth, there are only two ways of saying it. In short, it is the Gundam constructed by Mantis Mantis using silk threads to manipulate various things)
