Chapter 871: Gather at Battle Street
The third day after the combat meeting.
East Doruma has been evacuated. Whether it is the residential area or the prosperous trading street, even the famous East Doruma Port on the mainland is silent.
Walking on the deserted street, a diabolo basket was blown by the wind and rolled past the hunters. Fengying stretched out her foot to step on it and muttered, "It has become a ghost town."
Anhil glanced at her and said, "This means the evacuation is complete, which is a good thing."
"The guild suddenly ordered us hunters who participated in the war to gather in the battle street. There should be news." Gordon turned his head sideways and urged, "Let's go faster."
“Huh?! Is Styracosaurus here now? It’s so sudden!” Feng Ying subconsciously wanted to check the contents of the prop bag.
Hayata knew that Feng Ying had no experience in participating in large-scale defense operations, so he explained: "No, if the Styracosaurus attacks, it will not send someone to notify the gathering, but directly sound the alarm.
If we gather together, we should have confirmed the whereabouts of Styracosaurus, so let us enter the battle street in advance and be ready for battle. "
“So that’s it.” Feng Ying knocked the bamboo basket away with her kick, “Then why are we in such a hurry?”
Gordon bared his teeth at her, "It will be easier to grab a better quality tent."
“This is actually the reason”
Through the residential area and the trading area at the foot of the mountain, Gordon and the others entered Battle Street.
The so-called Battle Street is actually a very large urn city, covering an area of tens of thousands of square meters.
The structure of the city wall here is very special. It is not a vertical wall, but a stepped one.
Each floor is nearly twenty meters high, and the total height of the three floors is more than fifty meters. Even a super giant ancient dragon like Lao Shanlong cannot climb out of the urn city.
These layered city walls are equipped with a large number of artillery and heavy crossbows. Hunters can launch three-dimensional attacks on attackers from all directions.
The dragon-killing cannon, which the master craftsman calls "a decisive weapon against ancient dragons", is installed on the highest level of the city wall.
The construction cost of this kind of stepped city wall is several times that of an ordinary city wall, and Dongdoruma relies on this indestructible battle street to stand firm in countless ancient dragon attacks.
The outer city wall is the only exception.
The city wall that separates the Battle Street and the outside of the city is a traditional vertical structure. Although it is also strong at the fortress level and cannot be broken by ordinary monsters, it is slightly weak against the ancient dragon's attack.
It was this city wall that the rusty steel dragon destroyed.
Land-based monsters such as Lao Shanlong would not even be "qualified" to enter the battle street if they did not tear down this wall.
It is said that this design also has profound meaning. After all, the purpose of establishing the battle street in East Doruma is to repel monsters, not to hunt down ancient dragons behind closed doors.
Trapped animals with no way out are the most dangerous.
If the attacker is afraid, he can turn around and leave at any time.
Those who know the history of Dongdoruma will know that this outer city wall was rebuilt eight times if not ten times.
Gordon couldn't help but murmur in his heart as he looked at the outer city wall that had just been rebuilt with the efforts of the craftsmen working overtime.
If Styracosaurus attacks, this city wall will most likely not be able to be saved. It’s really **** them.
“Brother Gordon! This way, this way!”
Hearing someone calling him, Gordon turned around and saw Aiden, the newbie, jogging up to them.
“The temporary camp is over there, and the people are almost there!”
They followed Aiden to the so-called temporary camp. The conditions were slightly better than Gordon imagined. At least it was not open-air, but some rooms built inside the walls of Battle Street.
There is also a public storage box, which is already full of various supplies and can be freely accessed after the battle begins.
The idea of grabbing a tent before was just a joke with Feng Ying. It was only for a few days. He didn't care about the living environment, as long as it was enough to lie down.
Except Ancil unloaded a lot of ammunition boxes from Gale, the others didn't have much luggage to put, so Gordon asked Aiden to take them to the place where the hunters gathered.
The guild notifies them to come and gather. There should be a group meeting or announcement.
As he expected, there were already more than thirty hunters gathered on the city wall where the dragon-killing cannon was set up, and the number was still increasing.
Gordon noticed that the Master and Julius were there, and walked through the crowd towards them.
“Ahem, here we come.” The master smiled and nodded to Gordon and the others, “The survey team sent by the guild has confirmed the location of Styracosaurus and arranged for hunting cats to take turns monitoring it.
Scholars from the Ancient Dragon Observation Bureau judge that the next attack will happen soon. "
Gordon nodded. He was not surprised by this result. Otherwise, what would they do together?
“Master, are you responsible for commanding this defensive battle?”
“Not really a conductor, cough, cough, cough.”
Perhaps because he has been busy recently, this once legendary hunter is not in good health.
He stooped his back and coughed for a while before continuing: "I can only say that I have to convey the general process, and the real on-the-spot judgment depends on you."
“You’re really like this, but you still insist on running out, and you still think that you are the nine-star hunter who singled out the ancient dragon?
Aren’t you two great disciples? Don’t you feel safe leaving it to them? Hilda frowned and approached.
Her words were a bit harsh, but the master still smiled and said, "As expected of someone who has been an instructor for so many years, he is so strict."
Hilda ground her teeth.
They are two people of the same era. As her senior, Campbell has always been like this since she was young. She always smiled when she scolded him.
After teasing Hilda, the master's expression became more serious, "Ahem. Just in time, your three teams have arrived. I'll talk to you guys first.
You also know that to deal with an opponent like Styracosaurus, the more hunters the better.
After discussion, the guild has decided that you three teams of high-level hunters will be the main force in blocking the Styracosaurus.
That is, the Silver Edge Hunting Group, the Pen Head Hunting Group, and the ‘Training Camp Hunting Group’. "
Hilda rolled her eyes, seemingly dissatisfied with the strange team name of "Training Camp Hunting Team", but from a certain point of view, this team name fits the situation quite well.
In addition to her, there are three other people in this team, namely the six-star light crossbowman Gale, the six-star hunting flute user Feidi, and the eight-star gun user Altman.
Gale and Feddy are both excellent hunters who came out of the East Doruma Hunter Training Camp, and Altman, like Hilda, is an instructor in the hunter training camp.
Different from fixed hunting groups like Yinbian, temporary teams that are put together often have hidden dangers, such as differences in actions and disputes over command authority.
The training camp team obviously does not have such troubles.
Needless to say, Feddy was a gentle and good family man, but even a rebellious and dirty-mouthed guy like Gale looked like a frightened Marutori in front of the two old instructors.
Don’t dare to be disobedient.
At the call of their respective captains, three teams, 11 high-ranking hunters, plus a sunny and cheerful boy who had sneaked in, gathered around Master Campbell.
Feng Ying smiled happily.
Great! Finally he is not the one who sneaked in!
However, as she smiled, her expression froze, and a stern gaze with a scrutinizing look swept across her body.
Feng Ying swallowed her saliva and secretly looked back along the line of sight.
Mom! Who is this gunslinger next to Aunt Hilda? Why is he taller than Master Gordon? !
