Chapter 252: The Beginning of the Gluttonous Feast
"Start attacking!" The captain of the ship ordered loudly.
A hurried trumpet sounded.
More than a dozen heavy crossbow shells like short spears were fired, and the guns of the dragon ship also opened fire.
Specially using the ancient dragon as an imaginary enemy, the specially developed heavy bed crossbow and artillery are incredibly powerful, and even a super giant ancient dragon with thick skin and thick flesh like the Lingshan Dragon can't help but feel pain under such an attack.
"Roarβ"
The roar that shook the earth and the sky sounded again.
Gordon, who was standing at the bow of the boat, covered his ears tightly, like everyone else.
Even the "earplug" effect of the Fire Dragon suit is not completely immune to the roar of the Spirit Mountain Dragon.
It's not like a sound that can be produced by biological vocal cords at all, but is closer to the dull roar of natural disasters such as earthquakes, flash floods, and landslides.
Roaring too.
Gordon thought that the Lingshan Dragon would immediately launch a counterattack, but he didn't expect it to dive directly into the sea of sand with its head down.
The captain shouted: "Disperse! The sand boats continue to disperse! Everyone, hurry up! β
Before he could finish his words, a pair of fangs had already broken through the sand in front of the dragon ship.
Lingshan Dragon, who rushed out of the sand, lifted the bow of the dragon striking ship upwards with his chin, and the whole ship tilted almost more than forty degrees, and the crew and combatants who had not had time to find the grip were lifted out one after another.
Gordon, who was also overturned, slipped down the deck, but fortunately he stretched out his arm in time and grabbed the mast, so that he did not fall off the ship directly.
Seeing that Lingshan Dragon lowered his head slightly, he opened his huge mouth and was ready to directly bite the bow of Fengshan Maru.
Before he could stand up, Gordon stretched out his other arm, picked up the hammer hanging next to the mast, activated the mechanism according to the dragon spear in front of the mast, and smashed it hard.
"W-"
There was a roar of steel and steam hedging inside the hull, and the huge dragon lance in the bow of the ship, propelled by ultra-high-pressure steam, spun at high speed and stabbed out.
"Boom!"
With enough force to shatter the city wall, the dragon spear bombarded the dragon tooth on the left side of the Lingshan Dragon.
This blow did not seem to cause substantial damage to the Lingshan Dragon, but it successfully pushed the dragon striking ship away from under the Lingshan Dragon's huge mouth, and the hull of the ship fell heavily back into the sea of sand.
"Well done Gordon!"
The captain of the boat quickly flicked the rudder to help the dragon strike ship return to its sailing posture, while praising loudly.
Powered by high-pressure steam, the Dragon Strike Gun is slow to reload, and as a killer weapon against the Elder Dragon, it usually requires the command of the captain to activate it.
But in the case just now, don't care what instructions are not directed.
Gordon was able to activate the dragon spear in time to prevent the Lingshan Dragon from gnawing on the bow of the Fengshan Pill, which was already a great achievement.
Seeing that the dragon striking ship was under attack, the nearby sand boat frantically fired restraining bullets at the Lingshan Dragon.
This giant ballista warhead with a sharp barb can be firmly snapped into the monster's body, and it is extremely powerful.
At the same time, the end of its shaft is also connected to a sturdy rope, which can bind the sand boat to the Lingshan Dragon, so as to contain the latter's movements.
Lingshan Dragon's attention was temporarily towed away by the sand boat, and the dragon striking boat temporarily regained its safety.
The crew members who had just been lifted off the ship also took this opportunity to climb back to the Mineyama Maru with a safety rope hanging from their waists.
But not everyone will be able to climb back.
At the stern of the boat, someone is in charge of keeping an eye on the safety rope.
If someone falls into a coma when they fall into the sand or is seriously injured, they cut the safety rope to avoid secondary injury to the injured person by dragging for a long time.
The sand sea is not an ocean, there is no risk of drowning, and the fishing fleet that follows the sand boat group will rescue the injured and help them deal with their injuries.
In just the first wave of attacks, the dragon ship suffered heavy losses, losing nearly a third of its personnel.
The speed of the Lingshan Dragon's sneak raid was too fast, far above the ordinary Fengshan Dragon, and many crew members on the deck had no time to respond and stabilize their bodies, so they were thrown off the ship.
If it weren't for the soft sand, the casualty rate would have multiplied.
Glancing at the remaining personnel on the deck, the captain of the ship quickly ordered, "Hayata, fill in the position of the No. 1 gunner, go to two people, help control the mainsail!"
Maridan, be ready to hit the gong at any time! The Dragon Strike Gun is still on cool, and its next attack will be up to you! β
ββThe large gong that has been passed down since ancient times can emit special sound waves that are difficult for human ears to hear, and when it rings suddenly, it can well shake the mountain dragon and should also be effective for the Lingshan dragon.
"Damn, you see!"
Maridan shook the yellow sand in her hair and cursed.
She had just been lifted off the ship, but thanks to her sturdy equipment and the agility of a hunter, she was not injured.
But it's a shame!
The dragon striking ship quickly regrouped, and the roar of artillery and the clanging of heavy bed crossbow strings resounded.
The sand boats that were trying to control the Lingshan Dragon with restraint bullets had already been overturned several times.
The light hull of the ship became an advantage of the sand boat at this time.
As long as it is not completely shattered, or the occupants are seriously damaged.
Even if the hull of the ship capsizes, it is only necessary to disconnect the restraint rope in time to avoid dragging, and then straighten the hull to quickly return to the battle.
"The first and third teams will retreat first, and together with the five or six teams, they will attack from a distance, and the two or four teams will fire restraint bullets to attract the attention of the Lingshan Dragon."
The captain of the ship took the helm with one hand and the telescope in the other, and loudly commanded the sand fleet that was entangled with the Lingshan Dragon, and the trumpeter and standard-bearer constantly sent signals to convey orders.
"All weapons! Aim at the left abdomen of the Lingshan Dragon and concentrate your attack! β
Gordon, under Hayata's instructions, constantly adjusted the position of the cannonball, while the pork chop struggled to carry the cannonballs.
The wrist armor made of the extremely fire-resistant blue fire dragon skin helped him ignore the hot temperature of the cannon body, and as he continued to calibrate, the hit rate of the Hayatta gun became higher and higher.
Lingshan Dragon suffered pain and dived into the sea of sand.
A sand boat broke the bungee a little late, and the base of the heavy bed crossbow was ripped directly off the hull, and the hull was broken with a large hole, so it had no choice but to withdraw from the battle.
The Lingshan Dragon disappeared into the sand, which made everyone on the dragon striking boat suddenly nervous.
Maridan even directly raised her hammer [Big Tiger Pill], planning to use this thing to hit the gong for a while, but she was not used to using that "small" hammer.
However, Lingshan Dragon's target this time was not Mineyama Maru, but those sand boats.
It burst out of the sea of sand, and the Giant Tooth smashed a sand boat to pieces, and another sand boat was overturned by the sand waves it raised.
At the same time, a large number of sand fish swimming in the depths of the sand sea were also carried out of the sand by the sand waves and were swimming around.
A big guy about three meters long just landed on the dragon boat, and the narrow mouth full of sharp teeth opened and closed "click, click", which was very bluffing.
In the bounce, its giant tail swept away, staggering Hayata, who was busy firing cannons.
Although Hayatta was not injured, she was also quite annoyed, and drew her wyvern knife, ready to kill the annoying creature first.
But at this moment, a harpoon shot in, piercing the body of the sand fish with precision.
A sand fishing boat passed by the dragon slayer, and the harpooner on the side of the boat dragged the rope and dragged the still lively sand fish off the dragon squid.
"Hahahaha, these fat fish, just leave them to us to deal with!"
