The timely delivery of repair materials made the large dockyard in full swing.

Gordon, Hayatta, and pork chops also came to help.

The soft and spacious bed in the King's Hunter's Lodge is indeed attractive, but for hunters who are accustomed to activity, it is not enjoyment, but torture to be forced to lie on the bed after waking up.

What no one would have imagined was that among the two people and one cat, the biggest role was not played by Gordon, who had the greatest strength and could lift heavy objects.

It's not Hayatta who learned to draw when he was a child, and can help draw drawings and draw new sail patterns.

Instead, he carried a pork chop with a hammer and a chisel.

In the process of researching the bomb, the little guy learned the skills of using all the common tools, and then under the guidance of the master craftsman, his hands-on ability was improved to the level of madness.

With the advantage of its small size, it can also burrow into the corners that human craftsmen can't enter, inspecting and repairing those subtle breaks and cracks.

Hands and feet are nimble and extremely efficient.

If it weren't for Gordon, who was the owner, staring at him, the captain of the ship with shiny eyes would have been unable to help but dig up the cat.

There is not much else in the Locklac Tourism Association, but the cute female Little Elu is full of pits and valleys, and the captain of the boat feels that it is a great advantage.

After a few days of intensive repairs, the Mineyama Maru was finally not as dilapidated as it looked before.

- At least the original broken areas have been patched with knotted wood planks.

But Gordon couldn't help but feel worried.

To be honest, when he first heard the term "dragon ship", he thought it would be a huge ship with high gunwales, thick armor, forty or fifty meters long, and dozens of guns.

Otherwise, how to be Gu Long's opponent?

For so many years, haven't the people of Lockrak thought about strengthening the Mineyama Maru in an all-round way?

Knowing of Gordon's concerns, the captain laughed loudly.

"Hahaha, that's because you don't know enough about this sea of sand, that's why you have this idea."

The captain of the ship came to the side of the Mineyama Maru and patted the low side of the ship, which could be climbed with bare hands, "The sea of sand is like the sea, but it is not the sea.

Don't really equate the sand boat and the Mineyama Maru with the big ships in the sea, although they look alike, they are actually completely different concepts.

If you have to look for something similar, well, a sled, yes, you can actually think of a sand boat as a sled with sails.

Have you ever seen a heavily armored and tall sled? Of course not, because the weight will make it unable to move. ”

He stroked the mysterious keel at the bottom of the Fengshan Pill that was full of the wind and frost of the times, but was still strong and intact, and continued:

"Not only us, but our predecessors have also tried to imitate the Mineyama Pill countless times, but they have never succeeded, and the main reason is this mysterious dragon bone.

It's light enough to support the hull of the Mineyama Maru several times that of an ordinary sand boat, and it's extremely sturdy enough to survive the repeated strikes of the Mineyama Dragon and the terrifying recoil of the Dragon Striker.

Other materials simply can't meet these two points at the same time, metal can't do it, ordinary large monster bones can't work, and knotted wood can't do it.

This also makes the number of sand dragon striking ships extremely limited, only one on our side of Locklac and Barubare. ”

"There are dragon striking boats in Barubare?"

Hayata, who was carefully drawing the sun coat of arms on the sails, asked curiously, "Will the Fengshan Dragon also attack the Barubare's side?" ”

The captain of the ship was silent for two seconds, "No, what they need to face over there may be even more tricky than Fengshan Dragon." ”

As if he didn't want to go any further into the issue, the captain changed the subject.

"Alright, the repair work of the dragon ship is nearing completion, and the outfitting of the sand boat is almost complete.

Starting tomorrow, we will enter the sand sea to test the performance of the ship and conduct combat drills, so that you novices know when to do something. ”

"Apart from me, Hayatta still has pork chops, are there any other newcomers this time?"

"yes."

The captain of the ship folded his arms and looked like a matter of course, "Almost every year, there will be casualties in the feast, and naturally, there will be new people to join."

But they've all been practicing with the sand boats for a long time, and the only real 'pure newcomers' are the two of you, oh of course, and the pork chops. ”

"Meow—"

"I'm a newcomer~!" Cessna came out of nowhere.

"Captain, why don't you explain the tactics and division of labor with Big Brother Gordon and Sister Hayatta first? How can you really explain it when you go out to practice?! ”

The captain of the ship scratched his chin with a curled beard, "It also makes sense, let's put the work on hand first, and I'll give you a rough explanation." ”

Gordon brought a few empty wooden crates, and the captain told them to sit down, while Cessna sat cross-legged on the ground.

The captain of the ship looked at her inexplicably: "What are you here to steal?" Didn't you already master what you should learn and what you should practice? ”

"I can add that too!" Cessna didn't deny the fact that she was lazy.

The captain of the ship did not bother to pay attention to her, took a stick, and began to write and draw on the ground covered with fine sand.

"Excluding the fishermen who followed the group to catch sand fish, and the support team responsible for emergency rescue, the number of ships directly involved in the battle against the Mineyama Dragon was thirteen, including the dragon-striking ship Mineyama Maru, and twelve sand boats.

The two sand boats are a small team, divided into six teams, to guard the dragon boats.

Each sand boat was manned by two crew members and two or three combatants, mainly experienced local hunters and members of the Fortress guerrillas.

Coupled with the crew of about 20 people on the dragon striking boat, the total number of combatants is more than 70 people.

Gordon Hayatta also has pork chops, you have been assigned to the dragon striking boat, and the cooperation and training of the various teams of the sand boat has been completed, so it is not appropriate to add you to it temporarily. ”

The two of them nodded in unison.

"The main weapon of the sand and dragon strikers is the heavy bed crossbow, one on each sand boat and two on the dragon striker.

This bed crossbow can fire powerful heavy ballistas, as well as restraint rounds, the former of which is attached to a sturdy rope that pulls the ship closer to the dragon and makes it easier for the combatant to rush onto the dragon's back.

In addition to this, the dragon strike ship is also equipped with two guns, a giant gong similar to the port of Tangia, and the most important killer weapon - the dragon strike gun. ”

"I like cannons so much, why can't you put cannons on the sand boats, boom! It will feel imposing. Cessna thought to herself.

The captain of the boat said helplessly: "The cannon is too heavy, the sand boat will not move, and the recoil may also shake the sand boat overturned, you better practice your crossbow accuracy." ”

"Do we need to practice handling these weapons too?" Gordon asked.

"Yes."

The captain's face became serious, "Although the heavy bed crossbows and artillery on the dragon striking ship have special operators, no one can guarantee that they will not have accidents in real battles.

Therefore, we require that every combatant who boards the dragon striking ship be able to skillfully handle these weapons so that they can take up their posts at any time when needed. ”

Ps.

In the cutscene CG, there are a lot of people on the dragon boat, and there are a lot of sand boats around, so it can't be like in the game, where the protagonist is alone on the ghost boat and the mountain dragon is single-handed

There's also a problem with the translation of "varistor bomb",Although I'm used to this translation.,It's not clear but it's very handsome.,But this comes from a mistake made by the original Chinese group.。

The varistor has the same sound as the heavy bed crossbow.,After the Chinese group found out when the machine was turned over for the first time,I think this messy translation is very handsome.,I used it.
