Gordon had never felt such a strong sense of powerlessness.

The moment the old mountain dragon fell, the confidence that emerged in everyone's hearts didn't last long.

Whether it was the chopping of knives and axes, crossbow shooting, artillery bombardment, or even the continuous use of two high-density dragon killing carbons, they failed to cause effective damage to the bones of the legs of the old mountain dragon.

Not to mention breaking it, not even a visible crack in the Dao has ever appeared.

Obviously, nearly half of the flesh and blood in the ankle area have been "bitten" by the artillery and dragon slaying carbon, and a large part of the leg bone is exposed, but it can still walk as usual.

The stride is smaller, the pace is slower, that's all.

It seems that after walking for a long time, my feet are a little sore, and the wound on the exposed bones is like a fake.

"Boss Xia Zuo, there is only the last dragon killing carbon left, do you want to use it?" Ted asked hesitantly as he glanced at the special stake pegs that Babaka had just sent him.

"Keep it for now."

Turning on the ghost humanization many times made Xia Zuo's footsteps a little heavy, he was no longer young, "The dragon slaying carbon can only explode the flesh and blood of the old mountain dragon, but it can't destroy the bones."

If you use the last one now, you won't have a noticeable effect, so save it for a more critical time. ”

"Okay." Ted nodded.

The frustration is spreading, but the attacks of the upper hunters never stop.

Their idea, or purpose, is clear.

Since there is no way to completely blow up the old mountain dragon by blasting.

Then the ant bites the elephant, accumulating damage little by little, expanding the wound and consuming its physical strength.

Don't let the wound heal, see how much blood you can flow!

"Whew!"

The green flare rises, which is a signal to retreat.

Only then did Gordon notice that they were approaching a corner.

It was here that I landed a few days ago when I came to Jiuqi by airboat.

A little further on, and after turning the corner, you will see the decisive battle square, and the second wall, the last line of defense of the old wall.

Looking at the retreat signal, Hayatta pursed her lips and clenched the hilt of her sword, as if she was very unwilling.

"Retreat first."

Amos glanced at her and put his knife into the sheath, "Continuing to fight with the old mountain dragon will only affect the play of the artillery on the city wall, don't be controlled by emotions." ”

Hayatta exhaled lightly, adjusted her breath, and slowly dissipated the boiling sword qi.

"Yes, I see."

The high-ranking hunters who had put away their weapons began to evacuate, and they quickly crossed the slow-paced old mountain dragon and entered the chamber one step ahead.

Maybe it was the previous battle that didn't go well, or maybe it was the scene when the first wall collapsed, which stimulated them.

The hunters went directly to rest, but climbed the city wall together.

Noticing President Van Yuan standing in the center of the wall, Xia Zuo and Amos were stunned for a moment, and then took it for granted.

As the elders of the Minagard Hunters' Lodge, they knew about some of the President's Ladies past.

Fan Yuan glanced at them, then continued to stare at the corner at the end of the decisive battle square, where heavy footsteps could be heard.

"What's the matter?"

Xia Zuo and the others had long been accustomed to the cold attitude and straightforward language style of the president, and after nodding to Isabella on the side, he began to report:

"The old mountain dragon's right hind leg is seriously injured, but its bone hardness is beyond expectations, and there is no way to kill the dragon with high density, so you can consider attacking its right leg when it stands up, maybe it will have a miraculous effect.

In addition, there are relatively deep wounds in the chest, side neck, and back, and the restraining bullet can play a role, and the effect should be good if the artillery is fired in a salvo. ”

Fan Yuan turned her head and listened carefully.

Most of this information had already been reported to her, but there were also a lot of key things she didn't know yet.

Gordon and the others greeted Isabella respectfully.

This one is slightly older than Miles and is also retired, an "old-timer" in every sense of the word.

Although he has not been promoted to the top position, the experience accumulated over the decades is not comparable to that of ordinary hunters, and he belongs to the highly respected existence in the Rice City Gathering, and he has the experience of participating in the repulsion of super giant ancient dragon-level monsters.

Therefore, he was invited out of the mountain early and appointed as the commander of this part of the operation.

Gordon, who had spent a considerable amount of time at the Minagarde assembly house, knew her, but it was the first time he had seen her in full armor.

This made Gordon feel novel, "Grandma Isabella, it turns out that you are also a great sword maker?" ”

Isabella's wrinkled eyes twitched fiercely, intent on teaching Gordon a lesson, but the distant sound of footsteps reminded her that now was not the time.

I had to say angrily: "What are you doing here, it's in the way, hurry up and eat and rest!" ”

Next to her, the president's lady, who had listened to Xia Zuo's report, first called two people, passed on a few instructions, and then looked at the hunters.

"I know you're tired, but I need half of you to stay with us tonight to guard the walls."

"President Fanyuan?!" Isabella turned her head to look at the president.

She was not sure of the latter's intention at that point.

Madam Guild's tone was flat, but her voice was fast, "I know that the upper hunters can play a small role in the defense of the city, but I didn't leave you to carry the cannonballs.

The hunter is a symbol of the strong, and I hope that someone can make some dangerous 'heroic' moves at the right time to boost morale. ”

"Heroic move?!" Ted and Henier's eyes lit up and they answered in unison.

As for the "dangerous" prefix, it was apparently selectively ignored by them.

"For example, when the old mountain dragon stood up and climbed the city wall, he jumped on the old mountain dragon and repelled it with a weapon, something like this." The President continued.

A few of them couldn't help but look at Chip, the axe-cutter, who had only been at the first wall this morning, and had been doing this for a while.

Sure enough, the heroic middle-aged strong man was the first to stand up, "Count me in!" ”

"I'll do it too!"

"And Uncle Ben!"

Ted and Hanieer shouted in unison again.

Xia Zuo waved them back, looked directly at the president Fan Yuan, and said, "I understand what you mean, when you fight hard for a long time and your momentum is low, this method is indeed useful.

I, Amos, Chip, stay, we have more experience, and we have more means of self-preservation, and Ferdy also stays, and his flute should have an effect. ”

"I'll stay too." Evelyn took the initiative, "My weapons are lightweight, and I can also provide support and first aid in critical moments. ”

"Well, that's okay." Xia Zuo nodded at her.

Gordon was stunned, the list of people who stayed behind on the city wall was basically ranked from top to bottom according to age

"That's it." The president agreed to Xia Zuo's arrangement.

Seeing that Gordon Ted and they still had something to say, the president said coldly, "Now is not the time for disputes, and I won't stop you from using you just because you're younger.

The people who are still in the chamber at this moment are neither old nor young, nor are they different in hunter rank, including me, all of them are combatants.

Go and rest now, and replace them at sunrise tomorrow morning, and don't blame me for using you too hard. ”

"Knock"

The sound of heavy footsteps grew closer and clearer.

A dark red shadow stepped out of the corner.

Gordon exchanged glances, turned around silently, and prepared to leave.

Xia Zuo stopped them at this time, and he smiled rarely, "I'm old, and my spirit is a little weak, you still have the vitality drink and strong pills on your body, stay for us." ”
