Chapter 20: The Beginning
"Stocking large quantities of fish and shrimp in combat waters to lure targets out of the coast of Manhattan for food?"
Lu Mingfei looked at the plan that was about to start, and it was unbelievable.
"What are you going to do, dragon fishing? We already know that this is an extremely high-blooded dragon, so why use such an almost impossible method? ”
After receiving a common sense education in Kassel, even he knew not to underestimate the intelligence of dragons. Higher dragons are not only not inferior in intelligence to humans, but also have a much longer lifespan.
"The Academy can't afford to wait, and it's a huge risk to let him live around Manhattan for an extra day, and he has to try everything possible.
And the subject has been careful and restrained in eating, and we suspect that he is likely to be starving. ”
Schneider was not angry with the students' doubts. He also knew that there was a low chance that this decoy strategy would work, but the New York mission could not afford to delay.
"One group, drop the bait, and leave quickly when you're done."
Hundreds of tons of fresh fish and shrimp are poured into the seawater in batches from the low-temperature freezer and quickly rejuvenated.
The combat group was fully armed and on standby, and on the tugboat where the command group was located, the sonar was turned on at full power. It's best to plan well so that the dive team doesn't have to risk their lives to carry out underwater exploration operations.
Today is the special weather that the New York mission team has been waiting for for a long time. According to Norma's prediction, there are still 20 minutes to go, and the weather forecast near Manhattan will continue to rain, and the weather forecast of the weather station has been miscalculated. Extremely low visibility is a great opportunity to hunt dragons.
Ten minutes passed, and there was not the slightest movement in the bait area. The dragon may have been laughing at their hubris, too.
Schneider's eyes grew cold. If the bait doesn't work, a carpet search will have to be carried out, and the dragon will be blown out with underwater weapons, so that the unstable factors of the plan will explode.
"Dragon! Dragon! Dragon! ”
The roar of the observation team was heard over the intercom.
Norma observed the target's actions, which he had never done before with such boldness. He swam underwater at an incredible speed, a red dot on the sonar's display moving at breakneck speed toward the open sea. Thirty knots, no, still accelerating!
"That's not right! The target direction of action is not the bait sea, he is in the other direction! ”
Damn it...... Could it be that their temptation has alarmed the dragon? Whatever was in the direction he was heading, he wasn't running away.
The bait scheme has changed drastically, and a decision must be made immediately at this moment. Schneider barely hesitated, "The combat group immediately shifted, followed the target and began to act, keeping a distance, waiting for instructions!" ”
The combat team consists of squads of three to five people, carrying small clippers and carrying a large number of guns and high-powered alchemy items.
But the real big killer was stored on the tugboat of the command group, the "Lazarus". The alchemical warhead storm torpedo developed by the armament department in order to hunt the giant species, and this tug was loaded with two.
The Lazarus jerked its bow to align itself with the direction of its target's movements. The 12 clippers of the combat group escorted the escort on the left and right flanks.
"A pleasure boat was found in the target direction of action. The remaining distance is only 4 nautical miles! ”
Schneider's heart sank. Satellite images were brought up, and a medium-sized pleasure boat, the "Dawn", was displayed on the screen. The passengers on board were still enjoying the gentle sea breeze, unaware of the danger to their lives.
When Lu Mingfei saw the name of the ship, fear welled up like a tide.
Telephone, hurry up and answer the phone!
"Han Li, Han Li! What's the name of the ship you're on? ”
"Wait a minute, um, Dawn."
On the screen, the giant dragon shadow was rapidly approaching the Dawn, and Lu Mingfei's brain was blank. He had no way to save Han Li, so he could only let him hide in the cabin and get the life jacket in advance.
"Send a rescue helicopter as soon as possible." Schneider gave Norma instructions.
Everyone held their breath and couldn't bear to imagine the tragedy that was about to happen. The target dragon had moved from deep to shallow water, and the waves pushed by his massive body could be clearly seen on the surface.
Samson stopped his lunge in an instant, and the dragon's body, which was tens of meters long, dived directly below the Dawn, swimming quietly with the boat.
The members of the observation team felt that their hearts were being played with by their target. What is the goal, to travel?
"We've found the real purpose." An old, powerful voice came from the channel, Ange. The headmaster did not act together on the tugboat, but kept an eye on the progress of the mission from the shore.
"This giant species is just a dragon squire, and the monarch he guards is on that ship. Norma, help me bring up the list of all the passengers on the Dawn. ”
Most people hadn't been able to react to what was happening, and the headmaster had figured it out.
"Ming Fei, the equipment box specially provided by the academy for you, you can open it."
In the box is a large-caliber sniper rifle. In addition, there was only a slender bullet, a dark red translucent bullet with a blood-like sheen flowing and changing.
"I've seen your training results, you're top notch in shooting. Shoot the Philosopher's Stone bullet into the skull of a pure-blooded dragon, and even the dragon king will be poisoned to death.
You are the one who killed the Dragon King. ”
Lu Mingfei was taken aback. Han Li, he is on the same ship with a dragon king?
"Compare faces one by one, in order of danger." The list of passengers retrieved was screened one by one by Norma using the huge amount of information in the database.
The list is getting smaller and smaller, and the colors of the remaining names are gradually turning red. Eventually, only one person was left on the screen.
His birth information could not be retrieved, and there were many anomalous sightings of humans who appeared in China many years ago, and there were many anomalous sightings in their place of residence...... Behind his name, there is everything from words to photos, maps, and news clips.
Lu Mingfei looked at the crimson photo on the screen and fell into a stupor.
Han Li, even though he himself did not have a clear understanding of himself, Norma had already turned over his entire life course and discovered his abnormality based on a large amount of information.
The sniper rifle was loaded with Philosopher's Stone bullets and stuffed into Lu Mingfei's hand.
"Combat team, let's get moving!
Interfere with the Dawn's communications and strike the ship's dragon servants from a distance. Lure a Dragonlord-class target into firing range. ”
Schneider fully trusted Ange's judgment and immediately gave the order to attack.
The Dawn was surrounded far away by the clippers of the combat team, leaving one person in each group to control the boat, and the rest of the crew jumped into the sea with steel cables tied to their waists.
The "flagship" of the team leader Chu Zihang intercepted the Dawn, and the medium-sized ship was disguised as a coast guard. The Dawn stopped moving amid the loud horn of the coast guard ship.
The underwater combatants took on a strange weapon, a large sword crossbow provided by Olivia's alchemy workshop. In the murky waters, only an oppressive black shadow could be seen, but sonar imaging helped them lock onto their targets.
First round, salvo!
Rows of swords and crossbows sparked dozens of dazzling lights under the water, all of which hit the dragon servant.
Second round, salvo!
The half-melted projectile cracked Samson's scales in all directions, and his control over metal was far less than that of his own monarch, and he was powerless to stop such a rapid projectile.
After two salvos, the underwater personnel quickly got on board and evacuated, and underwater bombs were placed on the evacuation route.
"Christine, did you hear anything?"
Han Li heard a hallucinatory voice again, calling him back to his hometown.
Samson's low roar was heard in the sea, and the writhing huge dragon body scraped against the hull of the ship, causing a violent shaking. All the passengers were choked in the center of the roar, the Dawn swayed from side to side, and the visitors kept falling to the ground.
The Dawn swerved to the right, and the majestic creature finally revealed its true face.
Dragon!
Samson's bronze pillar-like dragon body set off huge waves and burst through the water, like a dark cyan dragon body poured out of metal, showing the power of the outcasts to the whole world.
A strong wind blew on the sea. Rainstorms are coming.
