In the defensive positions north of Locklac, everyone's expressions were serious, even a little tragic.

More than an hour earlier, the news of the return of the sand boat had sent the Locklac assembly house into a brief panic.

Although the battle between the ship regiment and the Lingshan Dragon has not yet really decided on the results, everyone who hears the news can feel the difficulty of this battle.

The ammunition was exhausted, the mine mountain pill was seriously damaged, nearly half of the sand boat was damaged, the combat group cut the safety rope and boarded the dragon, and the fishing fleet joined the battle.

Either of these sounds like terrible bad news.

Or the guild leader's sentence "The boat group is fighting desperately at the moment, and the preparation time we have won is not wasted!" "It shook everyone's minds.

Without a forced summoning, the hunters in the city spontaneously entered the position.

Whether they are Locklac natives or not, they are all fighting for humanity at this time, and if the Sand Ship Regiment is really destroyed, they will be the last barrier for Locklac.

The strong man in charge of the Fortress guerrillas was loudly lecturing the guerrillas and archers who had completed the assembly.

"The most dangerous situation in the regulations has happened, you all know what to do, show your backbone, don't let the hunters next door see the joke!"

In front of the position, the guildmaster looked at the northern horizon and was silent.

A staff member walked over and asked in a low voice, "All the fighting forces in the city have gathered here, do you want to explain the situation to the citizens in the shelter and call for volunteers?" ”

The guild leader was silent for a moment and shook his head, "Don't use it yet, the opponent is an ancient dragon, and it is difficult for ordinary hunters to come in handy, and letting ordinary people go to the front line will cause more chaos."

There should be enough people to carry ammunition, you can help me pay attention to it later, if any chamber of commerce doesn't have any strength, there is no need to appear in Locklac again. ”

"Hey senior, you're really strict!"

The man, known as the "Wealthy Merchant", wore a suit of armor that was very characteristic of the ethnic groups of the Western Continent and came to the guild leader's side.

This is an armor made by the craftsmen of Shikikoku using the special ore on the body of the Mineyama dragon as a raw material.

Masterpiece [Yamato].

The guild leader glanced at the merchant slanted.

"Finally willing to show up? I'm also planning to nail a sign to the city gate post starting next year if I can't see anyone tonight.

'Shikoku merchants are forbidden to enter', and you don't even want to buy a piece of ore from Locklac in the future! ”

"Hahaha, how can it!"

The wealthy merchant laughed and laughed, "Didn't I introduce two excellent young people to come over before, we care too much about Locklac!" ”

The guild leader glared and said angrily, "Are you embarrassed to say it?" A weapon blueprint that you don't have, you send people all the way over, and you still want to take credit for yourself? ”

"You know everything?" The merchant smiled and didn't care.

"Pork Chop told me."

The guild leader snorted coldly, and just as he wanted to say something, he found a sand boat with a tattered sail in the distance, galloping towards him.

The guildmaster threw down the merchant and rushed forward.

The sand boat in front of the position slowed down, and Cessna jumped down from it, waving her hands, jumping and screaming.

"It worked! It's a success! The Lingshan Dragon has been repulsed! ”

The guild leader let out a sigh of relief, and hurriedly asked, "What do you say, how do you say it?" Are you sure Lingshan Dragon is gone? What about casualties? ”

"Knock back confirmed!"

Speaking of this, Cessna's expression became serious again, and she lowered her voice and said: "The casualties are very serious, more than sixty percent of the wounded, and the combat group is even more wounded, and the number of dead has not yet been determined.

Mineyama Maru, seven sand boats, two fishing boats lost their ability to navigate, and the regiment commander said that there was an urgent need for support from Locklac to participate in search and rescue, medical work. ”

"I'll arrange it right away!"

The guild leader called a few staff members loudly and quickly arranged the response team and rescue work.

The personnel are ready-made, and the response team will be able to leave soon.

Seeing that the guildmaster had arranged all this, Cessna was about to say something again, but when she saw the wealthy merchant coming over, she immediately closed her mouth vigilantly.

The guild leader dusted off the merchant like a fly, and asked with some concern, "What else happened?" ”

Cessna looked left and right and whispered, "What a good harvest!" Great harvest! Not to mention the catch of the fishing fleet, almost all of the amethyst behind the Lingshan Dragon has been taken down by us.

There are also various ores, scattered all over the combat area!

The head of the regiment asked me to tell you, hurry up and arrange for a trustworthy transportation team to come over and recover the crystals and ores overnight, so as not to let some people take advantage of it! ”

As she spoke, Cessna also glanced at the wealthy merchant from afar, and her meaning was self-evident.

Haoshang: "? ”

"Oh! By the way, the long teeth of the Lingshan Dragon were also taken down by the regiment commander and Gordon, twenty meters long! You may have to send a caravan to tow it back! ”

Cessna chirped, and the mustache grew to his eyebrows, and his sorrow at the news of the heavy casualties was diluted a lot.

"Arrange! It's all well arranged! ”

President Mustache waved his hand to summon the leader of the city's fortress guerrillas, "What, you can find a reason to say that the guild has a secret operation or something, and martial law will be imposed after dawn."

No one is allowed to leave the city unless they have my permission! Especially the merchants who have sand boats, keep an eye on me! ”

As he spoke, the mustache president also glanced at the wealthy merchant from afar.

The leader of the city's fortress guerrillas followed the leader's line of sight, squinted and remembered the appearance of the wealthy merchants, and nodded heavily.

Haoshang: "??? ”

After President Mustache had arranged all the matters, the merchant rubbed his hands and stepped forward.

"Ah~, senior, reveal it? Is it this year?"

"Yes!"

The mustache president did not hesitate to respond to the other party's speculation, and his eyes showed the shrewdness and cunning characteristic of a businessman.

"This year's big harvest, super big harvest! Lingshan Dragon knows, right? The subspecies of Fengshan Dragon, which is much more powerful than Fengshan Dragon, is an ultra-rare and ultra-mysterious existence.

Special crystals rich in mystical energy, various rare ores, and a twenty-meter-long ancient dragon tusk, so much that you can't eat it! ”

"Eat, of course!" The wealthy merchant rubbed his hands wildly, "The price is negotiable, please be sure to give priority to us!" ”

"Well, after all, the Lingshan Dragon is rare for a thousand years, don't talk about you, well, I mean the Shiguo behind you, even the Hunter Guild Headquarters, the Ancient Dragon Observation Bureau, and the Kingdom are all very greedy."

The corners of Haoshang's mouth twitched, and he began to take advantage of the situation?

"If you have any requirements, don't hesitate to mention them." The wealthy merchant gritted his teeth.

"The boat group is seriously damaged, the most important Fengshan pills are all broken into slag, the sand boats are all destroyed, and most of the fishing fleet is damaged, so it's not easy for me as the guild leader to do it."

Haoshang: "."

"The casualties of the crew are also very heavy, it's not like I'm fooling you, you can see it when the team returns later, all kinds of pensions, bonuses, and subsidies are all big holes." The guildmaster's expression was heavy.

Haoshang: "."

"But this time, the Gordon you introduced them has made a big contribution, and you can barely count it as a small contribution, but you can't treat others badly, otherwise the people in the boat group will not agree.

Well, before the formal negotiations begin, let me see how sincere you are, how 'generous' your reward is for them, and then decide how 'stingy' I will be when I sell your ore this year. ”

Haoshang: "."
