This is an answer full of conjecture, assumption and uncertainty.

But hunters are not judges or prosecutors, and they often rely more on "intuition" in judging things.

After a brief exchange, Gordon, Hayata, and even Anhill, who was the most calm and rational in the team, all agreed that Metabeta was the answer they were looking for.

"Set the course in the direction of Metabetat, sail as fast as you can, hopefully before the attack happens." Gordon said to the team leader:

"Also, is there a peregrine falcon on the dragon ship, I want to send an urgent message to the Great Elder."

"Huh... Huh?!

Is that the decision settled?" The leader of the investigation team glared, "Don't you need to verify it again?"

Coming from a scholar's background, he did not quite understand the Fauvist thinking of hunters, and in his opinion, or in the eyes of most scholars, this decision was too heavy.

"An attack could happen at any time, not that time." Gordon waved his hand, "All we can decide is our team and the movements of the Dragon's Ship.

The urgent letter to the Great Elder can only be said to be for reference only, and to be honest, even if the Great Elder agrees with our judgment, it will be too late for the headquarters to send reinforcements once and again this letter comes and goes."

"But ......"

The survey captain was about to say something, but was interrupted by Anhill again.

"Metabeta is the most likely location to be attacked by the current analysis, and even if the probability is only 1 in 3, 1 in 5, or even 1 in 10, we can only go there.

There are so many cities in the mainland, how to confirm it? If you guess right, you may be able to turn the tide of the battle, but if you guess wrong, it's better than hesitating and not being able to help."

The leader of the investigation team pursed his lips, his eyes becoming serious, "I understand, I will immediately arrange to adjust the course and sail at full speed.

There are still two peregrine falcons that can fly to East Doruma, but unfortunately they didn't bring the Peregrine Falcon from Metabetat, otherwise they could have been warned in advance.

However, at the speed of the dragon ship, it should be able to reach it in about twenty hours of high-speed cruising."

"It's okay, it's fast enough."

Gordon patted the boy on the shoulder, "We did everything we could, and we won't regret it no matter what the outcome is."

...

Under the arrangement of the leader of the investigation team, the dragon ship began to climb,

The burning rock-fired carbon was fed into the boiler in a steady stream, and the power propeller rotated at high speed, and the seemingly bulky aerial giant ship gradually picked up speed and headed for the night sky in the north.

The three of Gordon hurried to eat and rest.

When I woke up, it was the next morning, and in four or five hours, I would be able to reach the sky over Metabetat.

They began to hurry up and prepare.

There are two enemies you may face this time, the Pavilion Mantis, and the mysterious monster with black oil on its body.

The weakness attributes that can be determined by the former are thunder and water, which Anhill tried with a crossbow at that time.

Fire should also be effective, at least the kind of silk thread that can be cut with a knife, and it can be burned with a slight burn with a flame.

The dragon attribute has no effect at all, and the epitaph sword used by Gordon in the first encounter with the Pavilion Mantis has not been "activated" once.

The latter's body is unknown, its weaknesses are unknown, and it is impossible to prepare for it at all.

The only thing I know for sure is that the guy can start a fire, after all, the black oil is thick and flammable, and the ruins of the destroyed fortress are also burning with flames.

Gordon and the others couldn't help but sigh again at Hayata's luck.

The biggest weakness of the Black Erosion Dragon suit is fire, and the last time he fought against the Black Flame King, he was only burned by the embers, and he had quite serious burns.

And she just changed into the Purple Poison Ji suit two days ago, the armor of the two fire dragons, and needless to say, she knows how high the fire attribute resistance is.

Otherwise, in the face of flame attacks, it is really a headache.

In terms of weapons, Gordon chose the Absolute Rush Greatsword [Shenwei], this is the first time he has used this greatsword in actual combat.

Ceiling-level destructive power and exceptional sharpness make this greatsword capable of handling almost any situation.

Anhill also brought the fierce moment [Shiyu] as always, which is also a highly versatile heavy crossbow, which is very suitable for firing water-cooled bullets and normal bullets, which can be said to be Anhill's favorite.

Hayatta was in a quandary.

When she set sail from Bernard Village, she boarded the boat with six knives with the mentality that there was a dragon knowing the boat anyway, and she didn't bring it in vain......

At that time, in the face of Gordon's speechless eyes, she could only blush and explain, "That's how the sword envoy is."

In fact, she herself knows that this may not be accurate.

The attribute sword is just one of the choices, if you have a good enough physical sword, you can also calmly deal with any situation.

However, the Swift Dragon Blade she had used for many years, and the Night Knife [Moon Shadow] was a little outdated.

Of course, it can be used, but in terms of pure destructive power, this physical sword can no longer make up for the advantages brought by the "targeting attributes".

But it's still in Hayata's alternative.

After all, there are six swords, but there aren't that many options to choose from.

The dragon knife [Red Lotus] of the dragon attribute, the flying dragon knife [Sakura] of the poison attribute are excluded, the Nanban knife [Slash] which is slightly inferior in sharpness and power, and the ghost and god slashing knife are excluded.

The only ones left are the Night Knife [Moon Shadow] and the Fire-type Wyvern Knife [Black Yao] to choose from.

Choosing and choosing, she still brought the night knife [Moon Shadow], on the one hand, she is not familiar with the feel of [Black Yao], and on the other hand, the pavilion mantis may not be weak fire, and the mysterious monster must not be weak fire.

Just kidding, the monster that burned down two fortresses and swayed flammable and explosive black oil along the way will be weak? Nature is amazing, isn't it?

A few hours before arriving in Metabetat.

Hunters, cats and dogs spend their time checking equipment, checking props, counting crossbows, and polishing weapons.

On a sunny afternoon, the dragon ship finally arrived in the sky above Metabetat City, which had sailed at full speed for nearly a whole day and night.

Looking at the city defense, which was still intact, Gordon and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

Caught up.

......

The huge shadow cast by the dragon ship when it flew in flight frightened the soldiers stationed on the city wall, and some even rang the bell directly to sound the alarm.

Ever since the news of the attack on Giovardereo and the declaration of a state of emergency by the Guild, the city has been on edge.

After all, the last city that was attacked was not too far from them, and even with the most simple and direct thinking, this is one of the cities with the highest probability of being attacked in the whole continent.

As a result of this nervousness, the landing dragon ship was targeted by the heavy bed crossbow on the city wall.

In the harsh afternoon sun, the soldiers and hunters on the walls could not see what the shadows were.

If the leader of the investigation team hadn't reacted quickly enough to ring the fog bell on the deck in time, the bottom of the ship would have to be carved out by his own people.

There is no danger, and the alarm is lifted.

The ship still hasn't landed completely, after all, Metabetat has no special facilities for the ship to dock.

This time it came suddenly, and they had to hover in mid-air above the city walls, anchor the hull of the ship, and then rely on rope ladders and ziplines to go up and down.

The hunters and the Aru were used to this.

Only the gale can't get used to it, and as a dog, it's too hard for it to climb the rope ladder and slide the rope.
