The larger the creature, the bulkier it tends to be.

Ailu Cat fell and rolled and got up, while Lingshan Dragon fell, and it might take two minutes just to turn over.

There was no doubt that this was the best chance to climb the dragon, but the captain of the ship did not allow the fighters on the Mineyama Maru to immediately launch a third ascent.

The Mineyama Maru has a huge hull, and once it loses speed, it is easy to fall into a crisis like before.

It will take a long time for the dragon lance to reload, and the big gong will sound immediately, but the continuous use of the gong will cause the dragon to adapt to that sound wave, which will cause it to fail.

At present, Fengshan Pill lacks the power of self-preservation.

Therefore, the captain of the ship decided to give up this opportunity to climb the dragon and let the mine mountain maru regain high speed.

He took back the rudder and said to the trumpeter and standard-bearer who were in charge of the order next to him: "Inform the sand boats, let them choose whether to board the dragon according to their own position, do not fall in love, and once the Lingshan dragon recovers its posture, retreat immediately." ”

Then he raised his voice again and ordered the crew on deck: "Full sails, adjust the direction of the sails, let's increase the speed first!" ”

"Yes!"

"Those who have spare hands should go to the arsenal and move out the remaining crossbows and shells, save them now, and let them come in handy!"

The whole ship was mobilized, and as the sails were constantly adjusted, the mineyama maru, which was close to stagnation, was gradually accelerating.

Maridan came to the captain's side, her arms folded, and there was a hint of worry in her eyes, which was very different from the bold and confident appearance she had just appeared in front of everyone.

"The crystal behind the Lingshan Dragon has been destroyed by more than half of us, does this really work? The Ancient Dragon Observatory isn't sure. ”

"Well, the scholars of the Ancient Dragon Observatory are just guessing." The captain of the ship looked at the Lingshan Dragon in the distance, who was struggling to turn over.

"If what you've done before is useless, you'll have to start a backup plan."

"Is there a backup plan now?"

"It's always been there."

The captain of the ship glanced at Maridan, "The backup plan is that Mineyamamaru uses the last ammunition to forcibly attract the attention of the Lingshan Dragon and do everything he can to hold it down.

The remnants of the sand boats immediately gave a signal to warn Locklac.

After the Mineyama Maru and the Sand Boat Regiment were finished, the rest of the battle was taken over by the Fortress guerrillas, the Fortress archers, and the hunters in the city who remained behind in Locklac. ”

"Do you use human life?"

"Yes."

There was silence between the two, and this sense of powerlessness that had exhausted everything but was still helpless was frustrating.

"Whew~!" Maridan exhaled hard.

She tightened the strap of the sledgehammer behind her, "Then you can't give up easily, for the sake of everyone in the city.

Feel relieved! Even if the ammunition is exhausted, the old lady and those combatants can still come in handy, there are a lot of young people with backbone in the ship, hehehehe! ”

A smile also appeared on the captain's face, "Before that, I'll give it a hard blow with a dragon lance!" ”

"Oooh-" There was a sudden exclamation from the deck.

The captain and Maridan hurriedly looked up.

Before they could ask, a young crew member laughed and cheered, "It's down!" If it falls down again before it can get up, it must be tired! ”

The two glanced at each other when they heard this, and the heaviness in their eyes instantly dissipated, and their desperate determination was replaced by a fighting spirit.

"Aha! The old man and lady of the Gulong Observatory are still a little useful, so they really guessed it! Maridan laughed loudly, and the tiger striped scars and tattoos on her face seemed to come to life.

The captain of the boat directly turned the rudder wheel, and returned to the high-speed dragon striking ship, and the course changed sharply, pointing directly at the Lingshan dragon who struggled to get up.

"Inform the sand boats, let the combatants who let them board the dragon to retreat, start a movement war, and empty all ammunition against the purple crystal cluster behind the Lingshan Dragon!"

"Oh!!"

Gordon returned to the bed crossbow he was responsible for with a large bundle of heavy crossbows.

Rubbing his hands together, he began to wind the bed crossbow.

To be honest, he was eager to try attacking the Lingshan Dragon's left tooth again, after the initial dragon lance blast, the later ballista bursts, and the explosion of the dragon bomb just now.

Although the tooth is not broken, it should be almost gone.

But now is not the time for "I can do it", and repelling the Lingshan Dragon is the first priority.

In comparison, the personal glory of smashing the dragon's teeth is insignificant.

"Fire!"

The combatants on the other side of the sand boat have withdrawn.

The captain of the ship gave an order, and the artillery and heavy bed crossbows that had been silent for a long time on the dragon striking ship once again let out a piercing roar and clanging sound.

Cannonballs and heavy crossbow shells rained down on the back of the Lingshan Dragon.

Since there was not much ammunition left, everyone consciously locked the crosshair on the part where the crystal clusters were still dense.

The Lingshan Dragon roared, and under the continuous attacks, it regained its posture with difficulty, and it half-burrowed into the sand, swinging its long fin-like tail, and slowly swam around.

"Keep your distance!" The captain of the boat gave the order while carefully controlling the dragon striking boat.

He knew very well that the slow speed of the Spirit Mountain Dragon was just a visual effect brought about by its extremely large size.

Once this guy swims, his speed will not be slower than that of the dragon boat and the sand boat, and maybe even faster.

But now, it seems to be a little different.

Obviously, the Lingshan Dragon had already swung its body and swam in the sea of sand, but its speed had never been able to increase to the previous level, and it could only keep pace with the dragon striking boat.

If the wind is right, the dragon boat can even slowly pull away.

This result was heartening to the captain's heart.

It seems that Lingshan Dragon is indeed tired!

"Commander, many sand boats responded that they had run out of crossbows, and they asked for another dragon climb." The crew member in charge of the observation came to report.

"How much ammunition is left?" The captain of the ship asked in a loud voice.

"There are only a few shells left, and they will run out soon!"

"There is still about a tenth of the heavy ballista left!"

The captain of the ship thought for a moment, "the artillery emptied the ammunition, and the heavy bed crossbows stopped firing." ”

He turned to the herald and said, "Let the sand boats wait a little longer, and when the cannon ceases, we will board the dragon with them." ”

"Wouldn't it be too risky?" An older crew member asked.

"It's almost at its limit, and it will take about half an hour to reload the dragon lance, so we'll fight for this half an hour for the mechanical group!"

There is another sentence that he hid in his heart and didn't say.

The reason why the last bit of crossbow ammunition was left was just in case.

In case the boat group exhausted all means, the Lingshan Dragon still did not retreat.

The Dragon Slayer will attack the Spirit Mountain Dragon's sore spot with this last bit of heavy ballista, provoking it and maneuvering with it, buying Locklac as much time as possible to prepare.

Next to the gun mount.

"This is the last shell!" The pork chop with a black and gray face put a huge cannonball into the breech of the cannon.

Having fallen off the boat several times, Hayatta, who was also disheveled and embarrassed, nodded.

She pushed the gun lock, took careful aim, and fired the last shell.

The cannonball drew an arc and landed accurately on the top of Lingshan Dragon's head, the red lotus exploded, the crystal clusters splashed everywhere, and Lingshan Dragon roared and shook its head.

"Woo-"

The long horn sounded, which was the characteristic signal of the last dragon climb.

The combatants involved in the dragon climb looked at each other, took out their knives one after another, and cut the safety rope around their waists.
