712. Heavy ballista

The new operational plan was implemented that night.

In the discussion between the Commander-in-Chief and Lan En, the weakening of the Molten Mountain Dragon was supposed to be as early as possible, and it would not stop for a moment.

In the final moments, use decisive force to beat the molten dragon to the head and hurt enough, so that its instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm overrides the instinct of death return (creatures go to a specific location before dying), and then prepare for a shift away from the leyline corridor.

Winder and Aiden returned three hours later, bringing him his gear as Lane had instructed.

"Click, click."

The sound of the mechanical leaf spring was crisp and pleasant, and Lan En's palm, which was two or three turns larger than the average person, was like the most skilled craftsman, checking and resetting a heavy ballista of all-steel structure.

[Flame Assault Crossbow].

Based on the standard [Iron Assault Crossbow] of the Investigation Mission, it is made with materials such as the Brute Jaw Dragon's flame bag, teeth, and scales.

Although in this world, the power and functionality of ranged weapons are largely due to warheads made from strange and diverse natural materials.

But this kind of firearm, which is more than 100 pounds in hand, thick and huge, still makes Lan En have a good impression as soon as he comes into contact with it.

Maybe it's because in [Memory Diving], those Space Marines from the Star Empire use ranged weapons similar to the style of heavy ballistas, right?

The Star Marines of the Emperor's Son are not only all swordsmanship, but they are also a little too silly on the interstellar battlefield. The combat scenarios that can be adapted to are too limited.

Not only is it not elegant, but it is also inefficient.

And their most commonly used blaster gun looks like a stupid black and coarse reckless weapon.

A thick caliber, a thick gun body, and a conventional warhead the size of an ordinary person's fist.

Anyway, if you shoot with unstrengthened muscles and bones and withstand recoil, then it is estimated that after a shot, the bones in the arm will be broken and not far from the need for amputation.

In this world, hunters have strong physical fitness, so that although the design ideas of industrial products are not very standardized.

But the gun thickens the barrel! Increase the charge! Special warhead to give!

What's wrong with heaviness? Afraid that the hunters won't be able to carry their backs? Isn't that originally called a 'heavy ballista'? Just add another shield to it as an emergency protection!

What's wrong with the design idea not being industrial and regular enough?

Hardtop performance with monster material!

What do you mean by world characteristics? (Lean)

In short, the two names of the barbarian jaw dragon who were still stunned in the star's stronghold by the anesthetic ball, Fierce Claw, although they didn't have time to study it, the material it was beaten down had already been used by Lan En.

Winder, Garfield, and Aiden stood to the side, watching Rann even have some pleasing firearm inspection processes.

"Oh, the craftsmanship of assembling, disassembling and maintaining is good." Winder said with his hands on his chest, pinching his chin in a tasty tone.

"I just don't know what it's like."

"Heavy ballista is such a thing, people who can dismantle and repair it may not necessarily use it to fight."

"And your hometown doesn't seem to have this kind of weapon, right?"

Facing Winder's teasing questioning, Lan En smiled slightly.

With a "click", the thick steel magazine was pressed into the body of the gun.

Then he hung it in a folded position on Lanne's lower back.

"Don't worry, man." Lan En patted the [Flame Assault Crossbow] hanging on his waist, "I'll let you see what the art of shooting is." ”

"Cut~" Winder pouted deliberately.

The hunters quickly gathered their gear and called out to the pterosaur to return to the molten dragon's back.

Following Lan's intelligence, they began to disperse, searching up and down the midline of the molten dragon's spine.

In addition to the two places where Lan En had already determined the location, they quickly found three more, for a total of five heat dissipation organs.

"You two get up."

In front of a gap in a basalt mountain wall, Lan Enpao pulled away Wende and Aiden, who were holding heavy ballistas and light ballistas.

"I just said that I would like you to see what the 'art of shooting' is, and that's it."

Wende is a bold artist, so he feels that people who are recognized by him can be as strong as himself, and emergencies are not a problem.

So naturally, he put away the heavy ballista and hung it on his waist.

However, Aiden's personality is more stable.

"Just you? Can't you get in time? When the molten mountain dragon is frightened, this guy will definitely quickly close the gap on his back. ”

But Aiden, who was worried, was actually not very resolute, after all, Lan En had behaved quite reliably since they worked together.

So he was also easily pulled out by Lan En.

Only the Demon Hunter remained, alone facing the gap in the back shell of the molten mountain dragon.

Again, it was a cavity hidden in the back shell, with an irregular, red-hot cone at the bottom.

Lan En stood still in front of the gap.

Then he unfolded the [Flame Assault Crossbow] from his lower waist, and under the gaze of the other two people and a cat, he inserted a special magazine into the position of the magazine.

"I'll go, you're not"

At this time, even Wende and Garfield, who were used to seeing strong winds and waves, couldn't help but slowly open their mouths.

The thing that Lan En stuffed into the magazine slot, they all knew about it, was called [Trap Dragon Bullet].

It is a special type of magazine for heavy ballistas.

But what really surprised them was Lan En's state at this time.

He lifted the [Flame Assault Crossbow] with one hand, surpassing the size of ordinary people, making this weapon that needs to be held in the hunter's arms after unfolding it is like a pistol that looks bloated and has grown a lot because of the addition of many accessories!

"Heβ€”He's not going to get down? Or did you not give him instructions when you taught him how to use a heavy crossbow? ”

The corners of Wind's mouth twitched as she asked Aiden.

He knew that Aiden had taught Lenn the hunter technique for a while.

But when he saw Aiden's expression, Winder understood that he was asking in vain.

[Trap Dragon Bullet] is a type of ammunition that requires a prostrate stance to counteract the recoil and prevent the body from being blown away, even with the hunter's physical fitness.

And now, Aiden's mouth is about as big as Winder's.

It's not that I remember when Lan En learned heavy crossbow with me, it was quite regular!

But it's already here, and it's too late to say anything.

The witcher was carrying a heavy ballista weighing a hundred pounds as if he were carrying a light rifle.

The corners of his mouth gradually hooked up a heartbroken smile.

And then the tongue of fire exploded!

"Bang Bang Bang !!"

That's right, the so-called [Trap Dragon Bullet] is to fire the oversized ammunition used by hunters at a machine-gun-like rate of fire!

Each round of ammunition was fired like a small cannonball, and the recoil blasted a circle of diffuse dust under Lanne's feet.

The muzzle of the gun, even on this not-so-dim active volcano, made Lan's face flicker and darken.

"I'll go!"

Winder, Garfield, and Aiden covered their ears almost at the same time almost as soon as Len fired.
