Chapter 869: Meet at Battle Street
The third day after the operational meeting.
The evacuation of East Doruma has been completed, whether it is a residential area, or a thriving trade street, and even the port of East Doruma, which is famous on the mainland, is silent.
Walking on the deserted street, an empty bamboo basket was blown by the wind and rolled in front of the hunters, Feng Ying stretched out his foot to step on it, muttering, "It's all become a ghost town." ”
Anhill glanced at her, "This means a complete evacuation, which is a good thing." ”
"The guild suddenly ordered us hunters who participated in the battle to enter the battle street to assemble, there should be news." Gordon turned his head and swung around, urging, "Let's go faster." ”
"Huh?! Is this the Halberd Dragon? So suddenly! Feng Ying subconsciously wanted to check the contents of the prop bag.
Knowing that Feng Ying had no experience in large-scale defense operations, Hayatta explained: "No, if the Giant Halberd Dragon attacks, then it will not send someone to notify the gathering, but directly sound the alarm.
If we gather, we should have confirmed the whereabouts of the Giant Halberd Dragon, so let's enter the battle street in advance and prepare for battle. ”
"I see." Feng Ying kicked the bamboo basket away, "Then what are we doing in such a hurry?" ”
Gordon bared his teeth at her, "It's easy to grab a better quality tent." ”
"That's the reason"
Passing through the residential area and the trading area at the foot of the hill, Gordon and the others entered Battle Street.
The so-called Battle Street is actually a particularly large urn city, covering an area of tens of thousands of square meters.
The structure of the wall here is very special, not a vertical wall, but a stepped type.
Each layer was nearly twenty meters high, and the total height of the three layers combined was more than fifty meters, and even a super giant ancient dragon like the old mountain dragon could not climb out of the urn city.
These tiered walls were lined with a large number of cannons and heavy bed crossbows, allowing hunters to launch three-dimensional attacks on attackers from all directions.
The dragon slaying cannon, which the master called "the weapon of decisive battle against the ancient dragon", was installed on the highest layer of the city wall.
This stepped wall costs several times more than a normal wall, and it is thanks to this impregnable battle street that Dongdoruma has been able to survive countless ancient dragon attacks.
The outer walls are the only exception.
This wall separating the battle street from the outside of the city is a traditional vertical structure, although it is also a fortress-level strong, ordinary monsters cannot break through at all, but it is a little weak in the face of the strong attack of the ancient dragon.
It was this wall that the Rusty Steel Dragon had broken.
Land monsters such as the old mountain dragon, if they don't tear down this wall, they are not even "qualified" to enter the battle street.
It is said that this design also has a deep meaning, after all, the purpose of Dondoruma to build a battle street is to fight off monsters, not to close the door to fight dogs and hunt ancient dragons.
The trapped beast with no way back is the most dangerous.
If the attacker is afraid, he can turn away at any time.
Those who know the history of Dondoruma know that the outer wall was rebuilt eight times, if not ten.
Gordon couldn't help but muttered to himself as he looked at the outer city wall, which had just been rebuilt with the overtime efforts of the craftsmen.
If the giant halberd dragon attacks, there is a chance that this wall will not be able to be protected, and it is really hard for them
"Big Brother Gordon! This way, this way! ”
Hearing someone shouting to him, Gordon turned his head to look, and the newcomer Aiden trotted all the way to them.
"The makeshift camp is over there, and the people are almost there!"
They followed Aiden to the so-called makeshift camp, in slightly better conditions than Gordon had imagined, at least not in the open air, but in some rooms built inside the walls of Battle Street.
There are also communal storage boxes, which are already stocked with various supplies and can be freely accessed once the battle begins.
Gordon glanced around the room and stopped looking.
The previous statement of grabbing the tent was just a joke with Feng Ying, and it was only a few days later, and he didn't care about the living environment, just enough to lie down.
With the exception of Anhil, who had unloaded a lot of ammunition boxes from Gale, and no one else had any luggage to put on, Gordon asked Aiden to take them to the place where the hunters gathered.
The guild tells them to come and gather, and there should be a group meeting or announcement.
As he expected, on the wall where the dragon cannon was erected, more than thirty hunters had already gathered there, and the number was still increasing.
Noticing that Master and Julius were there, Gordon made his way through the crowd and walked toward them.
"Ahem, here it is." The master craftsman smiled and nodded to Gordon, "The investigation team sent by the guild has confirmed the location of the giant halberd dragon and arranged for the hunting cats to take turns to monitor it.
Scholars from the Cologne Observatory judged that the next attack would happen soon. ”
Gordon nodded, he was not surprised by this result, otherwise what would they do together?
"Master, are you in charge of this defensive battle?"
"It's not a command, ahem."
Perhaps due to his recent hectic, the former legendary hunter has not been in good shape.
He leaned his back and coughed for a while before continuing: "I can only say that it is up to you to convey the general process and the real on-the-spot judgment." ”
"You're really, you're still running out like this, and you still think you're the nine-star hunter who singled out the ancient dragon back then?
Aren't there two great disciples? Still don't feel comfortable handing it over to them? Hilda approached with a frown.
Her words were a little harsh, but the master still smiled, "It's worthy of being an instructor for so many years, cough cough cough is really strict." ”
Hilda grinds her teeth.
The two of them were of the same era, Cambe, as her senior, had always been like this since she was young, and she was smiling when she scolded him.
After teasing Hilda, the master craftsman's expression became more serious, "Ahem. It just so happens that all three of you have arrived, so I'll tell you first.
As you know, against an opponent like the Halberd, the more hunters the better.
After discussion, the guild decided that the three of you will be the top hunters as the main force to stop the giant halberd dragon.
That is, the Silver Edge Hunting Group, the Pen Head Hunting Group, and the 'Training Camp Hunting Group'. ”
Hilda rolled her eyes, seemingly unhappy with the strange team name "Training Camp Hunting Group", but in a way, the team name was quite appropriate.
In addition to her, there are three people in this team, namely the six-star light crossbowman Gail, the six-star piper Ferdy, and the eight-star spear envoy Altman.
Gale and Ferdy are both good hunters who have come out of the Dondoruma Hunter Training Camp, and Altman, like Hilda, is an instructor at the Hunter Training Camp.
Different from fixed hunting groups such as Yinbian and Bitou, there are often hidden dangers in the teams that are improvised together, such as differences in action, disputes over command and so on.
The training camp team apparently did not have such a problem.
Ferdy's gentle and good man's flute made Ferdy needless to mention, and even Gail, an unruly and dirty fellow, was like a frightened Marutori in front of the two old instructors.
Don't dare to be disobedient.
At the call of their respective captains, three squads, eleven high-ranking hunters, and a sunny and cheerful boy who blended in, gathered around Master Cambay.
Feng Ying smiled very happily.
All right! It's finally not the one who got in!
However, smiling and laughing, her expression froze, and a stern gaze with a sense of scrutiny swept over her.
Feng Ying swallowed her saliva and secretly looked back at the sight.
Damn! Who is this gun maker next to Aunt Hilda? How can you be taller than Master Gordon?!
