Chapter 44: Dreadnought!
Laterite rock crevices, the only interface between the Desperate Desert and the Storm Sands.
"Night Feather, hunter from afar, look at this magnificent mountain and rock, it doesn't look like the gate of Mangul? Look at this rolling yellow sand, this is the sea on land, it is not an exaggeration to call it a wonder?"
Under the leadership of Burton, Night Feather followed him to the center of the laterite rock crevice, and at this time Burton was praising Night Feather with a red face, and the whole person looked extremely excited.
Night Feather was also shocked now, she had only seen the side of the laterite rock crevice from a distance before, and had never come to the center of it, just at a glance, she had firmly remembered this picture.
The scorching sun hangs high in the air, and there is an incomparably spectacular scene in front of you, the continuous laterite mountain range is as high as a thousand meters, and the laterite rock crevice is the only fault in this mountain range, and there is no end in sight to the mountain range that plunges into the clouds, the mountain walls on both sides of the rock crevice are full of artificially built fortresses and plank roads, row after row of cannons almost armed the entire mountain wall, and the large flags painted with the logo of the hunters' guild are planted all over the laterite rock crevices, hunting in the howling wind.
The plank road was crowded with people, countless hunters were carrying cannonballs and other supplies, skilled archers were guarding their posts, and each tabletop heavy crossbow was equipped with a hunter.
In the middle of the crevice, a massive iron fence closed tightly, keeping out all enemies who tried to invade the stormy sands.
"It is indeed a rare spectacle, and the wonders of nature cannot be explored even in a lifetime. Night Feather exclaimed.
"Well, that's right!hahaha!" Burton's beard kept shaking, but in his excitement, he let out a long sigh, "Unfortunately, maybe this is the last time I'll see this visual feast." ”
"Lord, please don't give up, my captain is still fighting, he is the strongest warrior in our village, I have full confidence in him. Of course, Night Feather understood what Burton meant, and said seriously.
"Haha, you're right, we can't give up yet, there are still our most elite fighters on the front line. Burton laughed in agreement, but he shook his head in his heart.
"After all, she is still a young girl, and she still doesn't understand that faith alone is not enough, and a few people alone cannot defeat Fengshan Dragon. ”
"Look at this. ”
Burton walked up to a cannon with Night Feather and patted the barrel of the cannon and said, "There is a shortage of iron ore in the desert, which we have retrieved from outside the border, and they have been fighting for this country for countless years. ”
"Click, click. ”
Ye Yu didn't speak, just silently stepped forward to check it, her movements were extremely skillful, like a craftsman's care.
Burton's eyes lit up.
"No problem, Lord Lord, I can guarantee that it will be able to vent fire without stopping in the battle in the near future. After the inspection, Night Feather stood up and said with a smile.
"Young man, you know the current situation, but I don't see a trace of panic in your eyes, can you tell me where your confidence comes from?" Burton looked at Night Feather with burning eyes.
"My captain, the Lord. Ye Yu said seriously: "When I was young, I was afraid of being reprimanded for not completing the tasks assigned by the instructor, so I chose to escape, but when I turned around, he grabbed me and said something to me that would last a lifetime. ”
"What is it?" asked Burton.
"There is no such thing as a sure thing in this world, anything can turn around before the result, persevere, don't give up, sometimes, miracles happen more by our hands. Night Feather said proudly.
"Well said!" Burton's eyes flashed, he shook his fist and said with a smile, "Maybe I should meet your captain." ”
"I'm sure you won't have to wait long. Night Feather bowed her head slightly.
"Yes! what a young man these days!" Burton chuckled.
"Let's go, there are other weapons that need to be checked. ”
"I'm doing it, I'm going to grow up. ”
The two of them walked along the boardwalk, carefully examining each cannon, but it wasn't long before footsteps came from behind them, and the blonde man named Manu came running briskly with the other two.
"I'm sorry, my lord. The first thing Manu said when he ran over was to apologize.
"What's wrong?" asked Burton.
"Let's go and see for yourself. Manu grimaced.
Burton frowned, as if he had guessed something, but did not speak, just strode forward, and the rest of the people hurriedly followed.
Laterite rock crevices - martial arts arena
"What are you doing here? I remember I gave orders!" Burton exclaimed with a gloomy face.
The martial arts arena was full of hunters, each of them fully armed, and their eyes were extremely determined.
"My lord, I beg your pardon, we can't evacuate here. ”
A big man standing at the front stepped forward and said angrily.
"Chris, did you incite them to stay?" Burton's face darkened.
"No, Lord, we stayed on of our own free will. ”
"Nobody forced us. ”
"We have to stay!"
The hunters shouted.
"Enough!"
Burton interrupted everyone with a loud shout, his eyes scanned everyone present, and said in a loud voice: "You may not understand the current situation, indeed, I ordered someone to block the news, but the paper can't contain the fire, you should have heard some rumors, right? That's right, the vanguard was attacked, the main force was destroyed by the Fengshan Dragon, and the laterite rock crevices!
"Wow!"
Everyone exclaimed when they heard this, they were just suspicious before, but they didn't expect it to be true.
"How about it, if you understand, do as I say, the trainee hunter and the hunter who was notified before can leave, and there is ......"
"Elder, I can't carry out your orders. Chris interrupted Burton suddenly.
"Are you disobeying?" Burton's eyes were about to erupt into flames, and his gaze frightened the apprentices into taking two steps back.
"If you have to say that, then my answer is, yes, I'm resisting your orders!" Chris was expressionless, but his tone was extremely determined!
"Manu, throw this kid out of here!"
"Your Excellency!"
Chris raised the long-handled giant axe in his hand and smashed it on the ground, green tendons covered his neck, and he roared with all the strength of his body: "Do you want us to live in the shadow of losing our dignity for the rest of our lives?!"
Burton's beard trembled angrily, and his eyes were glued to Chris, and he was about to explode!
"Behind the fissures of the laterite! Here is our home! The hunters exist to protect our home! In this time of crisis! I, Chris, will not back down!"
"Don't back down!" shouted the rest of the hunters in unison!
"Alas......"
Unexpectedly, Burton, who was originally angry and was about to explode, eased his expression and sighed heavily.
"Mlenk, you've just gotten married......"
Burton looked at a handsome young man and whispered.
"What are you afraid of? Didn't I follow him? I think he dared to run around!"
As soon as the boy was about to speak, a pretty little girl stepped forward with her waist crossed, raised her flute and struck it on Mrunk's helmet, causing the rest of the group to burst into laughter.
Burton chuckled, looked at a man again, and said, "Dirk, your father lost a leg when the Peak Dragon attacked eight years ago, and you have to take care of him. ”
"If you don't work, you will be careful, old man, I am still very good. ”
As soon as Burton's words fell, a lame old man walked out on crutches, first saluting Burton, and then turning around and scolding a fat man: "Dirk! You bastard boy listen to me! You Lao Tzu has been stationed on the red soil crevices all your life! Even if you die, you have to die here! If you kid dares to run, Lao Tzu will immediately light your fat body with a sky lantern!"
As soon as these words came out, the little fat man shrank back in fright, nodded again and again, and the eyes of the rest of the hunters looked at the old man with respect, as the old man said, he had dedicated his life here.
"Dina, what are you doing here, little girl? You've just come out of the training center, and you don't know what to mess with?" Burton said, looking at a little girl.
Who knew that the little pepper didn't care, and there were still words in his mouth: "Grandpa Burton! That's why I'm here, think about it, what hunter who has just come out of the training center has the opportunity to experience this kind of training?"
"Grown, you don't have to say any more. ”
Then Chris stepped forward and said respectfully, "We all understand your intentions, you are afraid that we will lose our lives here and cause our relatives to lose their families, but you have forgotten that we are hunters and exist to protect the village. ”
"Boom!"
Speaking of this, Chris held the heavy pestle of the giant axe on the ground and said firmly: "Stepping on the footprints left by our ancestors, we are walking on the road of memory, following the ancient teachings, I hereby swear that I am willing to protect our homeland with my life until the last drop of blood is shed!"
"May we protect our homeland with our lives until the last drop of blood is shed!"
All the hunters shouted in unison at this moment, and their eyes were burning ahead!
"You ......," Burton's eyes widened.
"Grow up!
At this moment, a hunter ran over, took a few deep breaths, straightened up and shouted: "Lord Grow!
"Don't panic. At this point, Burton calmed down.
"It's too late to leave now, and I'll ask one last question, are you afraid?" asked Burton.
"Inherit the will of our ancestors!
"Hmph! a young man who makes people love and hate!"
Burton chuckled lightly and suddenly shouted: "Everyone, according to the previous deployment, return to your posts! In the next battle, I will see every cannon venting its fire!"
"Yes!"
The hunters, who possessed extremely high quality, shouted in unison, and immediately dispersed, seemingly chaotic, but orderly, everyone was running, but no one bumped into each other.
"Night Feather, the hunter of Kasumi. Burton strode through the crowd.
"I'm right behind you, Lord. Night Feather's body shook and appeared behind Burton.
"You know the speed of the Fengshan Dragon, can your captain keep up with this level?" asked Burton.
"I promise you'll see him. Night Feather's tone was confident.
"Good!"
Burton stopped, looked at the Red Earth Continent above his head, and said in a loud voice: "Just let me see, the man who can chase the Fengshan Dragon!"
