How long has it been since the words "enemy ship" or "enemy" have appeared in the hunter world?

Even in the delicate period when Scarlet and Ryan were at odds with each other, and the border between the two sides was on the verge of war, the hunters roaming the volcanic region were able to lend a helping hand to each other, regardless of nationality. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info "Do not aim hunting weapons at the same kind" is not only written on the creed of hunter glory, but also the common cognition of hunters who are accustomed to seeing powerful monsters and harsh environments in the New World.

After all, in a world where human beings have to do their best to survive, where would anyone still aim a butcher's knife at their own kind.

So the moment the shell landed in front of the airship, most of the hunters who witnessed all this, not a single one dared to believe their eyes. It wasn't the fangs and claws or the monster's breath that attacked him, but the actual human-manipulated gunpowder weapon, which made everyone in the camp feel as if they were in a strange dream.

"Was it a misshoot? It's too much...... "The young hunter lifted his head out of the windbreak tunnel, and following the trajectory of the shells, he could still see the two barracks that had been blown to pieces, and the hunters inside were unknown whether they were alive or dead. The frightened hunters around the crater ran out of the windbreak shelter, dodging the scattered fire, and fled towards the back of the airship. Despite the discipline of the hunting group, there was quite a commotion throughout the camp.

"It's so close to the airship, it's not like it's a mistake......" Beside the young man, the person who looked like the team leader pulled down the clairvoyance on his head, "What are those guys in the union doing...... No, the ship's guns are still loading! Get down! ”

"Boom-"

No sooner had the group leader pinned the young hunter's head to the ground than a cannon shot that was even more violent than the previous one appeared in the middle of the camp. The round shell did not stop after it landed, and the outer iron shell exploded in response. The high explosives contained in the hollow bullets scattered the shattered shells in all directions, and the irregular shrapnel flying at high speed shot into the bunker, blasting the fragile sand-made structures with explosions.

"Blossom bomb! Dragon Strike Boat is playing for real! Run away, everyone! The bombardment was like a signal for their lives, and fear spread like a plague, and the hunters hurried out of cover and fled in all directions in search of safety.

"Whoosh!" Two red signals rose into the sky at this moment. The fleeing hunter was stunned at his feet, and his face showed an expression of consternation even worse than that of the dragon ship attacking the camp.

"Fight back? Do you want us to fight back at that ship? "Under the hunter's quality for many years, most of the members of the hunting group subconsciously pulled out their weapons in response to the instructions of the signal. But then came a deeper confusion and panic, "What are you kidding?" Do you want everyone to die? ”

"Boom! Rumble! Driven by strong winds, the sand boat maintained a distance of two to three hundred meters from the outer edge of the camp and gracefully arced around the airship. The four guns on the side did not stop for a moment, and one by one the shells filled with explosives bombarded the refuge camp. Every blow of artillery fire can flatten the windbreak tunnels, and the fate of the hunters inside before they can be imagined. Firearms designed by humans to defend against monsters are still effective in slaughtering their companions. More than a dozen fire points rose in the small half of the camp swept by the warships, and there were not many buildings left intact as far as the eye could see. The wind brought up dust and smoke in the sky, and the air was filled with a pungent smell of sulfur.

"How can you fight that kind of guy!" Seeing that the hunters hiding in the cave were no longer alive, the young hunter broke down and roared towards the bow of the ship. Not to mention whether the Hunter Glory can allow the soldiers to raise their weapons against the dragon ship, even if everyone does not have half a mustard in their hearts, the past training and actual combat have never taught the hunter how to deal with a war sand ship full of iron armor, naval guns, and even the same as the Fengshan Dragon.

In the face of ferocious monsters, of course, these iron men can rush forward regardless of life and death, but at this moment, all they have in their minds is the word "escape". Humans themselves understand the horror of the war beast in front of them better than monsters, and they would rather face the unknown ancient dragon species than face the dragon ship head-on.

…………

"Reload!" On the airship, the captain-like hunter kicked the gunner's ass hard. The latter straightened his back, and the round shell bones rolled into the barrel: "But...... Where to hit? ”

"Stupid! Aim for the mainmast! The captain shouted hysterically, "Do you want me to help you adjust the horns?" ”

Bad news came from the observation room, and the hunters on the ground tried to assemble several times, but they were scattered by a dense burst of artillery. Unlike monsters that act on instinct, unknown opponents on the sandboat can easily understand the team's intentions with a little observation. After just a few rounds of shelling, the unprepared combined team lost more than a fifth of its manpower in an instant. For the Golden Feather City Hunting Group who just want to get a piece of the harvest festival, this is a complete and unwarranted disaster.

"If the ship is damaged, how will you meet the Fengshan Dragon next?" The gunner was hesitant, and the hunter was still unwilling to give up his glory for the fierce situation in front of him, and racked his brains to finally find the last excuse.

"If we don't attack again, we won't even be able to survive now, and you're still thinking about the ancient dragon species?" The captain pushed away the gunner, "If you don't want to do it, get out, I'll shoot the gun!" ”

As the sandstorm front approached, the sky behind the dragon ship grew darker and darker, and the battleship wandered on the edge of the shadows, appearing and disappearing in the mirror. The captain aimed at the trajectory of the sand boat, and the cannon string pulled violently.

"Boom!" After a brief period of chaos, the airship finally made the first round of counterattack. The cannonball crossed an arc and flew towards the dragon ship in the distance.

"Damn...... Didn't hit! The shell fell to the ground at a great distance from the sand boat, and the sand wave did not even touch the tail of the dragon boat, and the observer hurriedly said, "Our cannon does not have enough range!" ”

"Isn't the airship upwind?" The captain's face was even more ugly, "How is it closer than their range?" ”

"Captain...... The best guns on the entire continent were on that ship. To hit it, we had to get at least a hundred meters closer. ”

It takes more than ten minutes for the airship to be inflated, and it takes some time for the ignition to take off, which is enough time for the nameless enemy on board to blow the airship to pieces dozens of times. And even if the airship can be successfully lifted into the air, it will only turn a live target on the ground into a live target in the air. The sand ship took advantage of its maneuverability and range, traits that should have been a source of pride for the entire Locklac, but now they became a lifeline for hunters.

"Shoot the crossbow arrows! Turn on the crossbow! Knowing that his boat was no match for the dragon boat, the captain still resisted stubbornly.

"Boom-" The arrow flew over the burning camp in the wind. When it comes to the survival of the hunters, crossbow arrows are scattered like locusts at the dragon ship as if they don't want money. A rain of arrows covered the ship's path, and the steel deck collided with the arrows in a dense series of sparks. The sparks did not hinder the movement of the sand boat, but the other party exchanged a salute and fired two more rounds of cannonballs towards the camp, and there was a wail as the airship landed underneath.

"It's useless!" The observer grimaced, "We can't break through its defenses!" ”

"Bastard!" The captain kicked the base of the gun's gun in hate. The dragon striking boat on the opposite side clearly relied on the advantages of equipment to eat the hunters. If the airship can't function, the team under it loses its protection, and in front of the sand boat, it is no different from a lamb to the slaughter, "What else can we do?" ”

"Wait for it...... Rush up? The gunner said cautiously. Unless the dragon striker himself foolishly rushes to the airship, the whole team has no means to deal with it. The airship is used to load supplies and monster materials, and can only take out a few self-defense naval guns and crossbows, and these attacks are useless, which means that there is no need to fight.

The arrows of the crossbow were still firing in vain, and the dragon striking boat had already rowed around the makeshift camp for most of the time, turning the entire refuge camp into a mess. The captains on the ground were trying to gather their ranks, trying to get the small groups of their comrades who had picked up their lives from the artillery fire together and hiding under the craters as close as possible. The sound of the wind, the shouting and the cracking of the cannonballs mingled, and every second the hunter was killed under the indiscriminate onslaught.

"Absurd! We can't wait a second ......."

"Captain! It really turned around! Observing Eru interrupted him, the mercenary cat's cry was filled with joy.

The sand boat swept past the stern of the airship and circled to the starboard side of the battleship, and the bow of the ship turned in a different direction. The raised mainmast adjusted its angle, and the warship rushed straight towards the airship, driven by strong winds.

"Aha!" Seeing that the other party took the initiative to send it to the door, the captain screamed strangely, and turned his anger into joy, "Hurry up!" Don't let it get close! ”

"Peng!" The guns on the starboard side had been waiting for a long time, and the shells fell diagonally at the bow of the ship the next moment. The dragon striking ship shook uncontrollably, and a steel plate in the bow of the ship sank into a deep round pit. The speed of the ship stagnated slightly under the attack, but it was lifted again by the blessing of the wind, and rushed towards the airship without dodging.

"Fire!" The captain jumped to his feet and commanded. Although I don't know what the commander on the sand boat is doing, the heavy projectile clearly caused real damage to the dragon ship. After being pressed and beaten for so long, he finally had a chance to fight back, and the people on the ship would not let it go easily.

"Boom!" Another shell landed on the deck, and a puff of black smoke rose from under the mainmast, as if the gunfire had set something on fire on the ship. The dragon ship still did not dodge, and rushed straight towards the airship.

"It's going to hit the ship?" Observe Eru in a loud voice.

"Put down the tray!" The Commander said, "Let it hit enough!" ”

There is no need to consider sand resistance, the protective plate on the side of the airship is twice as thick as that of the dragon striker, which is also one of the few aspects of the floating ship that can surpass the sand boat. If it collides head-on at this speed, the airship may suffer some damage, but the bow of the dragon strike ship will definitely sink completely.

The trays on the side of the ship were slowly lowered, and the people in the boat grabbed their hands and prepared for the oncoming onslaught.

"Huh?" Looking at the resolute sand boat, the captain's heart welled up with a trace of badness.

"Whew!" The sails of the dragon strike ship in action suddenly spread, and the bow of the warship was raised high under the strong wind, and from the lower part of the bow was raised a huge crossbow bolt almost as thick as the main mast of the sand ship. The shaft of the crossbow arrow is black and shiny, the arrow is round and conical, and the side edge is inverted with large and small irregular serrations, as if the next moment it pokes into the monster's body, it will bring a whole piece of flesh and blood.

"Bastard...... It's a dragon blaster! The observer's eyes bulged out, but he couldn't erase the uniquely shaped crossbow bolt from view, "It's going to use a dragon rifle against us!" ”

"Buzz ——!" A few hundred meters from the battleship, the dragon spear spun, the jagged teeth of the arrows danced into a dark light, and the cacophony of the machinery was clearly audible in the strong wind.

"Maniac...... Lunatic! "The filling chambers, power furnaces, and weapons depots of airship filling chambers are all high-risk chambers, and if either one is attacked, a violent explosion will affect both ships. Without knowing the structure of the opponent's ships, rashly approaching and launching a devastating attack is a foolish move to kill the enemy by killing 1,000 and losing 800 of yourself. Whatever the Dragon Striker wanted to attack, it already had a lot of advantages, and there was really no need to deliver a final blow to the airship in such a brutal way.

However, it did just that, leaving only a few seconds left for everyone, and it was too late to even jump ship to escape at this time. The crew and hunters had to close their eyes, and the captain himself clenched his fists.

"Whew!" The heavy steel plates didn't hold back for long, the iron filings scattered under the grinding of the strongest alloy of human beings, and the dragon lance drove straight into the hull of the ship as if it had penetrated into the soft belly of the monster, piercing several layers of dragon plates in an instant, shattering more than a dozen cabins along the way.

"Boom!" The impact of the dragon ship was not enough, and the airship fell to the port side like a huge tumbler, but suddenly pulled back under the pull of the dragon gun. "Ah——!h As if subjected to a shock force ten times more powerful than the sudden stop and turn of an airship, the hunters in the ship staggered, and finally fell unsteadily, one by one, to the bulkhead.

…………

"Heh......" On the other side of the airship, the anonymous man in the cage let out a meaningless cry.

The shirtless man stared at the huge spear head in front of him, and the conical head slowly stopped spinning, and lay still in the middle of the hut. The nameless hunter was startled by the cacophony of the dragon spear as it poked in, and the whole ship trembled under the attack, but his attention was drawn to the delicate zigzag on the head of the spear.

The battleship finally stabilized, and the hunter reached into the cage wall, and after a few seconds, no one noticed it. The three watchdog hunters had all fainted in the onslaught, and only one living creature was left in the small cabin at the moment. The naked hunter babbled and screamed for a while, and finally made up his mind to hold the cage with both hands, and with his arms strong, he scurried to the heights.

"Yikes!" The strange man approached the tip of the dragon rifle, his eyes lit up, he let go of a greasy hand that was gripping the fence, and reached high, gently caressing the serrated teeth of the spear.

The sharp serration of the "......" cut a wound in the hunter's finger, and he retracted his hand in disgust, put it in his mouth and sucked it, his eyes glancing away in disgust.

This chamber had been deformed by the impact of Fang Cai, and under the condition that the entire airship was penetrated, no matter how strong the iron cage was, it could not be left alone. Where the dragon spear passed, several railings of the iron cage had been completely torn open, and Anonymous jumped back to the ground in three or two as if he had discovered a new continent. The hunter looked out of the chamber again, and the three hunters who had guarded him for two days were still asleep, and he leaned down and tentatively poked his head and shoulders out of the cage.
