Chapter 879: Mad Dragon
Although it was only the outer wall that separated the battle street from the outside world.
Although the walls had only recently been rebuilt, the cement had not yet reached its maximum strength.
But in any case, this is also a fortress-level city wall with a height of more than 30 meters and a thickness of several meters, and in terms of overall strength, it is far above the regular city wall of Metabetat!
It collapsed and destroyed with a breath of breath, a scene that no one had ever expected.
In the original tactical plan, this first wall should have lasted at least a few tens of minutes, but in fact, it didn't last even a minute.
The city wall was reduced to ruins, and the hunters responsible for controlling the artillery bed crossbows on the wall were naturally not spared.
In the battle street, panic and pessimism are spreading irrepressibly.
Since the participants were all elites, there was no situation where anyone fled from the combat position and turned around and ran, but I have to admit that the blow to morale from the scene in front of me was too serious.
Gordon took a deep breath, and the roar was audible to the entire Battle Street.
"Don't be afraid !!" He roared at the top of his throat, "Look at those wounds on its body! The blood kept flowing, it couldn't hold out for long, stick to its post, keep attacking until it fell! ”
The fact that "the monster has been seriously injured" gives hunters more immediate hope than bloody declarations such as "for honor" and "for the sake of Dondoruma".
The hunters, who had recovered from their panic, realized how serious the Halberdsaurus's injuries were.
The front claw, which was relatively slender compared to the wing claws, had been broken, and through the huge wounds on the giant halberd's chest, which were measured in "meters" in terms of width, the broken internal organs could even be seen wriggling.
The dark red dragon blood mixed with the black grease was flowing out all the time.
Such an injury is enough to kill any other creature, even the ancient dragon species with amazing vitality is difficult to bear.
The morale of the hunters, the confidence to repel and even kill the giant halberd dragon, is being restored at a speed that is visible to the naked eye.
Gordon didn't think he had the eloquence to ignite the will of the people in despair, and at this time, the fact that the giant halberd dragon was seriously injured was more effective than any passionate words.
"Well done."
Altman's appreciative words came through the heavy metal helmet, "I probably understand why everyone calls you 'brave'. ”
Gordon smiled dryly, "If you praise it, save it for later." ”
The halberd dragon waved its giant wings and landed with a bang.
It trampled on the ruins of the ramparts, and with a fierce roar, it shocked all the creatures present.
"Roaring ——!"
The three teams of high-ranking hunters did not attack immediately, and the batteries and heavy bed crossbows scattered all over the battle street did not fire immediately.
Battered and hungry, the giant halberd dragon ignored the existence of these inconspicuous creatures and began to dig through the ruins.
In the underground warehouses under the first city walls, huge quantities of gunpowder were stored.
All of them have been produced in recent days by various workshops and factories.
When the walls collapsed in the Dragon's Flame Breath and the Black Oil Explosion, the hunters' hearts rose to their throats, but fortunately, the underground warehouse was built deep and strong enough that the explosion did not occur.
The giant halberd dragon was clearly aiming at the pile of gunpowder, and the powerful winged claws capable of destroying the city walls were gouged down, and a huge pit was dug into the ruins and ground, revealing a large number of powder kegs hidden deep underground.
Unlike the Metabeta defense battle, the "adding" in the gunpowder this time is different.
Master Cambay decided that the timed detonation method was too uncontrollable, so he took the initiative to remove the delay fuse used to detonate the gunpowder.
Instead, there are massive scrap metal fragments, sharp rubble, experimental alchemical poisons, and everything else that could increase the power of the explosion and cause more serious damage to the dragon.
The halberd dragon ate happily, and seemed to enjoy the rust smell of the metal fragments.
The hunters breathed a sigh of relief.
It's time for the decoy plan to take effect, and while the swift destruction of the first rampart nearly disrupted the layout, things are back on track.
Before the tactical process was determined, some scholars suggested that with the intelligence of the ancient dragon species, it might be difficult to deceive the giant halberd dragon with the poison bait tactic used once in Metabetat.
However, others believe that the Halberdsaurus is different from most Elder Dragons who exhibit considerable intelligence.
Its voracious appetite, violent aggression, self-harm tendencies, and violent personality prove that it is a "mad dragon".
A madman is irrational.
This reason convinced the guild's higher-ups, and now it seems that the latter idea is indeed correct.
The halberd dragon may be able to realize the danger of swallowing the gunpowder.
But it doesn't care.
Its crazy and chaotic thoughts only "eat" and "destroy", and everything else, including its own life, does not matter.
"I don't think this guy looks like a dinosaur." Gordon spoke suddenly.
Watching the giant halberd dragon grasp with its winged claws, lick it with its tongue, and even poke its head directly into the underground warehouse, gnawing together with gunpowder and earth and stones, and eating frantically.
The high-ranking hunters who had hunted dinosaurs nodded their heads.
The sharp-eyed Anhill sighed, "Look at the wound on its abdomen, its digestive tract is even broken, but the hole is covered by those gelatinous black oils."
Now that the stomach is gradually full, the wound has been opened, and the gunpowder is leaking out, how did this guy survive until now? ”
Listening to Anhill's words, a haze rose in the hearts of the upper hunters.
The Halberd Dragon's injuries were severe, and even its internal organs were badly damaged, which was naturally good news for them.
But it is not good news that the former can still move freely and completely unaffected under such an injury.
The first wall failed to slow down the halberd dragon, and the warehouse of gunpowder kept it for a long time.
Dozens of hunters scattered throughout the Battle Street were almost motionless, watching as the Halberd Dragon fed on the gunpowder as the minutes passed slowly.
Suddenly, inside the Battle Street, from the top of the stepped ramparts, there was a shrill horn whistle of warning.
The sound of large gear sets and machinery running.
The length of the cannon body is more than ten meters, and the caliber has a decisive battle weapon of nearly one meter, and the gun mount of the dragon exterminator slowly rotates, aiming at the giant halberd dragon in the free eating.
Gordon turned his head to look, and actually found the figure of the master near the gun mount.
The huge amount of gunpowder piled up in the underground warehouse disappeared under the mouth of the giant halberd dragon.
There is no need to wait until the other party even licks the scum clean, the giant halberd dragon that eats with its stuffy head is the best target, and the master craftsman decisively decided to launch the dragon slayer cannon early.
The launch mechanism is activated.
On the body of the heavy cannon, a red and dazzling lightning shone brightly, which was the light of the powerful dragon attribute energy escaping.
The energy is stirring, and the barrel made of special alloys becomes red-hot.
With a loud bang, the shells burst out, and the barrels shrank back sharply to prevent the recoiled force from shattering the gun mounts.
The cannonball made of high-density dragon slayer carbon hit the giant halberd dragon head-on, and the cannonball almost diagonally passed through the chest, and the powerful kinetic energy tossed it to the ground.
"Boom!"
The golden-red burst of flames and high-intensity dragon attribute energy erupted together, turning into a huge mushroom cloud swirling with red lightning.
This is the true power of high-density dragon-killing carbon that can only be exerted with the dragon-killing cannon, and from a certain point of view, using high-density dragon-killing carbon as an explosive package is also a bit tyrannical.
"Boom Rumble ——!"
An even more violent explosion rang out.
The huge amount of gunpowder that had just been swallowed into the stomach by the giant halberd dragon was detonated together.
The scattered fragments blasted the giant halberd's abdomen to a thousand holes, and the smoke that exploded along with the shock wave enveloped the entire battle street.
Ps. I think the halberd dragon should have been blown up
and the dragon slayer cannon in the 4G setting (there is also a translation of the dragon cannon), whether it uses the dragon attribute as the energy drive, or the tube retreats, this technical power comes up all of a sudden
