"Hahahaha! So the two of you are a couple, a good thing!"

"Uh, thank you?"

"What's up, boy Gordon, have you seen that Amos guy since you chased Hayata? Over the years, that guy has been bragging about his precious apprentice!"

"I guess I haven't seen it yet?" Gordon automatically filtered the second half of the other party's sentences.

"Then go and see you! Remember to observe Amos's expression, write it down, and tell me when the time comes, hahahaha!"

「......」

Mr. Asa was a bold and talkative man, fitting well with the common man's stereotype of a hunter.

When talking about happiness, he always has to participate in a string of "hahahaha" in a few sentences, if it weren't for the bad timing at the moment, he would have taken Gordon Hayatta to the tavern for a few drinks.

Gordon was also a little confused about what this uncle thought.

Obviously a few hours ago it was still a heavy and serious appearance, but this danger is getting closer and closer, but it has become cheerful, and even jumped out?

It is estimated that he noticed the strange gaze in Gordon's eyes, and the smile on Asa's face narrowed slightly, but the corners of his mouth still had a smile, "It's not a good thing to be too tense before the big war."

Knowing some of the other party's thoughts, Hayatta sighed helplessly, "Mr. Asa, we're not nervous, we're past that stage."

"Ahh Aha, too." Asa scratched his bearded chin, "I saw that you weren't a few years older than our daughter, and I almost forgot that you were promoted to the top earlier.

It's like I'm nervous, hahaha."

The two could only laugh dryly.

"I was probably a little nervous, especially a few hours ago." Asa held his hand to the wall and looked out at the busy people in the setting sun.

"Our Metabetat is not on the path of the ancient dragons, and we have not been attacked by the ancient dragons a few times over the years.

That's a monster that has broken through two fortresses in a short period of time, and it's two... Haha, to be honest, I don't have much faith."

Gordon looked sideways at Asa and listened quietly.

"But now, I'm calm, the president is a decisive man, and the evacuation work of the citizens should be almost complete, and the people who can't stay in the shelter have also been arranged by the president to get on a boat and leave the port for refuge.

On this side of the city wall, we have made all the preparations we can, and there is nothing to worry about next, just fight for our lives."

Gordon's expression froze suddenly, his throat tightened, and his breathing felt a little unsmooth.

He turned his head to look to the east, in the direction of the coastline.

Mr. Asa's words made him aware of the possibility of being overlooked.

No, that can't be said to be a possibility, it's a high-probability event at all!

"What's wrong?"

Hayatta immediately noticed his strangeness, and Asa, who was babbling and sighing, looked at him.

"We've fallen into a misthinking......" Gordon's voice was a little astringent.

"What do you mean?"

Knowing that now was not the time to swallow, Gordon took a deep breath and said quickly, "Metabeta is built on the seafront, facing the sea to the east and the walls to the west.

The main purpose of the walls was to defend against monsters roaming through the mountains and forests of the west.

But raiding and migrating are two different things, so how can we assume that the mysterious monsters and mantis that destroyed the fortress would come from the west, towards the city walls?

The scholars of the Dragon Academy have previously analyzed that the mysterious monster should have flown over the Inland Sea to hide its whereabouts.

So, shouldn't it come from the sea?!"

Hayata's eyes widened, and Asa's face turned white.

Metabeta is a peaceful city with beautiful scenery and abundant seafood, and it is almost impossible to be attacked by monsters, but the number of emergency facilities such as shelters in the city is not particularly adequate.

But there were a lot of boats, fishing boats, merchant ships, yachts of the rich, and the port was prosperous.

Organize some citizens who are difficult to resettle to board ships and go to sea for evacuation,

It should have been a very clever idea.

If the opponent is Lao Shanlong and Crab, the safety of evacuating from the sea is far higher than hiding in the underground shelter in the city.

But if the monster comes from the sea......

The citizens who evacuated to the sea were as if they had packed themselves up and sent them to the monster.

"But, but the Pavilion Mantis should hate water, and it shouldn't come from the direction of the seashore?" Hayatta tried to suggest some optimistic possibilities.

"That's even worse, the Pavilion Mantis and the mysterious monster are not tied together, if the mysterious monster attacks from the sea to the east, the Pavilion Mantis will appear from the west and attack the city wall......

We're going to have to organize two fronts, or we're going to be flanked." Just imagining that scene made Gordon's scalp tingle.

"I'm going to inform the president!" Mr. Asa grabbed his helmet and ran down the wall, "You two hurry up and think of a way!"

"What can this come up with......" Gordon thrashed his forehead as the bad news gathered together, as if that would bring out a solution.

"Can all the gunpowder and flammable materials that have been piled up do anything?" Hayatta snapped, "The monsters haven't shown up yet, so maybe they'll have time to move those to the beach?"

"It's too late." Gordon looked up at the sunset that was about to completely set the horizon, and said impatiently: "It's too late, gunpowder is not a rice bag, you can only move it carefully, you can't get up quickly.

You also have to cross the city, and you may not be able to move it before dawn when you start moving now, and moving to half of it will only cause more trouble.

I can only think of a more direct way......

"What?! Anything goes!" The dwarf President Zara rushed up the city wall, so athletic that he didn't look like an old man in his sixties, and Asa behind him couldn't catch up with him.

Gordon Hayatta looked at him in amazement.

The old guy was wearing a set of dinosaur armor, the style of the armor was a little old, and there were obvious traces of repair after damage, but the overall maintenance state was not bad.

The sledgehammer Gordon behind him was unrecognizable, silver shining, but it looked like it was made of some kind of monster bone, and it didn't look ordinary.

"See what I'm doing?" President Jerra glared, "I just heard you talk about a more direct way, what is a more direct way?"

Gordon drew his attention away from President Jero's weapons and armor.

It's not surprising to think about.

The presidents of the hunter guilds everywhere are basically hunters, and most of them are experienced hunters with a fairly high level, otherwise it would not be so easy to subdue the group of rude and reckless men below.

Putting aside these unimportant things, Gordon sorted out his thoughts and said quickly: "There is no barrier on the seashore, and it is impossible to stop the monster over there, so evacuate the citizens who went to sea?"

[In view of the general environment,

"Arrangements have already been made, summoning the ships back at this time will only cause more chaos, I told the ships in the offshore waters to stay away as much as possible, as long as they are far enough away from Metabetat, it will be safer."

"Hmm." There was nothing wrong with this arrangement, and Gordon put the matter behind him and continued:

"My idea is that we still have to pull the battlefield to the side of the city wall, if that guy really comes from the sea, I have to find a way to attract it to the city wall, of course it is better to let it go outside the city."

Speaking of which, Gordon looked at the leader of the investigation team who came with him, "The dragon ship should be able to be used, cruising over the sea, and a mysterious monster appears, so try to attract it.

I know it's dangerous, but ......."

"We do our best." The leader of the survey team nodded, and ran to the scrolling ladder hanging from the dragon ship.

Following President Jerro, the high-ranking swordsman named DeWitt also made a suggestion, "I like trap tactics, and I have some experience in this area.

Consider luring with the smell of food, not that the mysterious monster will swallow it

Eat gunpowder?

We can keep burning the gunpowder and sulphur near the place where the gunpowder is hidden, so that it may follow the smell of the food."

Gordon nodded immediately, "That's a good idea!"

"Hugh—"

At this moment, a signal flare suddenly rose on the sea in the distance, which may have come from a ship in the near sea, and the crimson light was particularly conspicuous in the dark night that had already fallen.

On the city walls, by the docks, everyone looked in that direction.

Illuminated by the fading light of the flares, terrifying creatures that were too large to believe they could fly, waving their wings, emerged from the darkness.

The people huddled on the shore, huddled in the boat, looked up in a daze, they couldn't breathe, even their heartbeats were still, as if the whole world had fallen into absolute silence.

"Roar—"

Rays of breath swept across the crowded docks, and after a brief delay, the flames of the explosion stained the night sky.
