Chapter 536: Encirclement
In just a few minutes, everyone changed into washed and dried clothes, and followed Botman to the main entrance of the town. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
At this moment, the originally open gate has been completely closed, a large number of mercenaries have gathered near the city wall to wait for the battle to begin, the watchtower is full of guards armed with bows and arrows and javelins, and the wooden fence is filled with burning torches every ten meters on average, even in the dark of night, you can still see what is happening outside.
In the darkness, a pair of eyes glowing with green light appeared, and from the huge silhouette of the body, it was vaguely discernible that they were the toucans that had attacked the convoy a few hours earlier.
However, this time there are a little more of them, and there are at least 100 of them at a glance.
What's even more interesting is that, unlike the previous reckless chase, these toucans in front of them seemed to be restrained by some kind of force, and did not rush to attack, but spread out in a fan shape, slowly approaching the town, and when they reached the effective killing radius of the bow and javelin, they would stop immediately.
"Ohβthat's not a good situation, Firebeak seems to be getting smarter......" Uncle Botman muttered to himself with a twinkle in his eyes.
"Who's Firebeak?" asked Lu Li, tugging at his collar, which was still a little wet.
Since it takes a long time to soak for deodorization, although the clothes have been roasted by the fire for a long time, they are still a little damp, and they feel very uncomfortable sticking to his body.
When the militiaman standing not far away heard this, he turned his head and explained with a serious face: "The firebeak is the most terrifying toucan around the town.
It is said that in its early years, it swallowed a fire elemental crystal dropped by an adventurer, and as a result, its body structure was mutated, not only was it three times larger than its kind, but it was able to spew hot magma from its mouth, and many caravans were killed and injured by its attacks.
As for the name Firebeak, it mainly comes from its iconic red mouth.
Remember, don't force yourself once you find the Fire Beak, it's no longer an ordinary beast, but the equivalent of a monster in a dungeon.
We once sent a commission to the guild, hoping that the adventurers could solve this big problem, but it was so smart that as soon as it detected the fluctuation of mana, it would immediately flee, so several groups of adventurers came in succession and failed to complete the task. β
"Funny ...... you know about running away?"
Hearing the origin of the fire beak, Lu Li instantly became interested, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.
Although he had heard a lot of rumors about mutated animals and plants in another world, he had never actually seen them, so he was full of curiosity.
If the monsters in the dungeon are compared to ghosts that have come back from the dead with the help of the power of the demon king, then these truly mutated animals and plants are equivalent to genetic mutations, and have very high research value.
Diodorus, who had a calm personality, obviously sensed Lu Li's thoughts, and hurriedly lowered his voice and asked, "Captain, are we going to join the battle too?"
"Meow meow?!No! Don't! Lily doesn't want to fight with those big birds that can fart anymore!" Meow Lori, who has sensitive ears, heard the conversation between the two and immediately shook her little head desperately, and her two big eyes showed deep fear.
"Hehe, don't be afraid, have you forgotten that we still have a lot of good things that can destroy the enemy from a distance?" Lu Li touched the girl's furry ears and comforted with confidence.
The reason why he was hit last time was mainly because he didn't know anything about toucans, otherwise with the ultra-long range and ferocious firepower of modern firearms, even if a thousand of them came, they would be torn to pieces by a network of machine guns from fifty meters away.
"Oh, yes, why didn't I think of that?" Meow Lori jumped up and ran straight towards the car parked not far away.
As a cat person, she hides quite a lot of violence in her body, especially likes to operate flamethrowers, machine guns and Vulcan cannons, jumping on the roof of the Humvee in the blink of an eye, and skillfully pressing the bullet chain into the newly replaced new domestic Type 89 12.7mm heavy machine gun.
Seeing that this warlike little creature was ready for battle, Agnes sighed helplessly and muttered, "Oh my God! I finally washed myself clean, and now I have to risk fighting those terrible toucans?"
"Okay, don't complain, get me in the car quickly. Diodorus nudged his sister slightly, then turned around and said, "Captain, I'll lead the team out to find the fire beak and drive it out of the darkness, and you will stay within the walls and strike a fatal blow." β
"Well, okay. Remember to be careful, don't get surrounded. β
With a brief admonition, Lu Li quickly removed the night vision device and NTW-20 anti-materiel sniper rifle from the car, climbed onto one of the observation decks, and prepared to shoot from a distance.
Diodorus didn't talk nonsense, he directly untied the leash, showed his adventure badge to the guard, and asked the other party to open the gate.
Out of trust in the strength of the silver adventurer, the guard did not dwell too much and happily agreed.
With the sound of a squeaky winch turning, the heavy gate was slowly pulled up, and the blinding lights of the Humvee were instantly lit, completely illuminating the scenery dozens of meters ahead.
With the heavy machine guns and Vulcan cannons fixed to the roof of the car aimed right in front of them, the toucans will immediately experience what a death harvest is when they dare to charge.
After all, they are not dungeon lords who can resist heavy machine gun sweeping, but real flesh and blood, and once they are hit by a large-caliber bullet, it is absolutely impossible to survive.
The toucans were visibly taken aback by the sudden appearance of the light, and there was a considerable commotion, and several of them were even eager to rush up to see what could emit such a dazzling light.
But before they could sell a few steps, a rapid cry suddenly came from the darkness: "Quack, quack, quack......"
"Oh no! everyone be careful! Firebeak is attacking!" an experienced old guard reminded loudly at the top of his voice.
"Hey, hey, come on, come more! Lao Tzujian is already hungry and thirsty!" Botman drew his broadsword, his eyes revealing a hint of madness and bloodlust.
In fact, it wasn't just him, almost every mercenary who was temporarily called up had a similar expression.
In addition, the mercenaries' weapons and equipment are obviously much better than those of the town's militia, at least more than half of the weapons are iron, but the militiamen are all bronze.
As the call became more and more rapid, the toucans finally couldn't hold back their appetite, and began to charge with their long legs, and their speed was so fast that they rushed through a distance of several hundred meters in just half a minute or so, and approached the open gate.
When the first toucan entered the range of the light, Diodorus, who was sitting in the passenger seat, calmly took a deep breath and gently spat out two words from his mouth: "Fire!"
