On the defensive position in the north of Lockak City, everyone's expressions were serious, even a little tragic.
More than an hour ago, the news brought back by the sand boat caused the Lockrack Assembly Hall to fall into a brief panic.
Although the battle between the fleet and the Lingshan Dragon has not yet been decided, everyone who heard the news can feel the difficulty of this battle.
The ammunition was exhausted, the Mineyama Maru was seriously damaged, and nearly half of the sand boat was destroyed. The battle group cut the safety rope to board the dragon, and the fishing fleet joined the battle.
Each of these sounds like terrible news.
It was the guild leader's words, "The fleet is fighting desperately right now, and the preparation time bought for us is not wasted!" shocked everyone back to their senses.
Without any forced summons, the hunters in the city spontaneously entered the position.
Regardless of whether they are locals of Lockark or not, they are fighting for humanity at this time. If the Sand Ship Group is really destroyed, they will be Lockark's last barrier.
The strong man in charge of the fortress guerrillas was loudly lecturing the members of the guerrillas and archers who had completed their assembly.
"The most dangerous situation in the regulations has happened. You all know what to do. Show your backbone and don't let the hunters next door see the joke!"
In front of the position, the guild leader looked at the northern horizon and remained silent.
A staff member came over and asked in a low voice: "All the fighting forces in the city have gathered here. Do you want to explain the situation to the citizens in the shelter and call in volunteers?"
The guild leader was silent for a moment and shook his head, "No need for now. The opponent is an ancient dragon. It is difficult for ordinary hunters to be useful. Letting ordinary people go to the front line will only cause more chaos.
There should be enough manpower to carry ammunition. You can help me pay attention to it later. If any chamber of commerce does not contribute at all, there is no need to appear in Lockrak. "
"Hey senior, you are really strict!"
The man known as the "rich merchant" came to the guild leader wearing a suit of armor that was very characteristic of the Western Continent's ethnic groups.
This is an armor carefully crafted by Shikikuni craftsmen using special minerals found on the Mineyama Dragon.
The masterpiece [Yamato].
The guild leader gave the wealthy merchant a sideways look.
"Finally willing to show up? I'm still planning to nail a sign on the city gate pillar starting next year if I can't see you tonight.
'Shiguo merchants are not allowed to enter', you won't even be able to buy a piece of ore from Lockark in the future! "
"Hahaha how can that not happen!"
The wealthy businessman laughed and said, "Didn't I introduce two outstanding young people to come over before? We care about Lockak too much!"
The guild leader stared and said angrily: "You still have the nerve to say that? You sent someone all the way here for a missing weapon blueprint, and you still want to take credit for it?"
"You know everything?" The wealthy businessman smiled and didn't care.
"Pork Chops told me."
The guild leader snorted coldly, and just as he was about to say something else, he noticed a sand boat with a tattered hull speeding towards him in the distance.
The guild leader dropped the wealthy merchant and rushed forward.
The sand boat arriving in front of the position gradually slowed down, and Cessna jumped down from it, waving her hands, jumping and screaming.
"Success! Success! The Lingshan Dragon has been defeated!"
The guild let out a long breath and quickly asked: "How to say, how to say? Is it confirmed that Lingshan Dragon has left? What are the casualties?"
"Repulse confirmed!"
At this point, Cessna's expression became serious again, and she lowered her voice and said: "The casualties are heavy, more than 60% of the injured, everyone in the battle group is injured, and the number of dead has not yet been determined.
In the Mineyama Maru, seven sand boats and two fishing boats lost their navigation ability. The leader said that there was an urgent need for Lockrack to send support to participate in search and rescue and medical work. "
"I'll arrange it immediately!"
The guild leader loudly called several staff members to quickly arrange the response team and rescue work.
The personnel are all ready, and the response team will be ready to go soon.
Seeing that the guild leader had arranged all this, Cessna was about to say something, but when she saw the wealthy businessman approaching, she immediately shut her mouth vigilantly.
The guild leader drove away the wealthy businessman like a fly, and asked worriedly: "What else happened?"
Cessna looked around and reported in a low voice: "What a great harvest! What a great harvest! Not to mention the catch of the fishing fleet, we have taken down almost all the amethysts from the back of the Lingshan Dragon.
There are also various ores scattered everywhere in the combat area!
The leader asked me to tell you to quickly arrange for a trustworthy transportation team to recover the crystals and ores overnight. Don't let some people take advantage! "
As she said that, Cessna glanced at the wealthy businessman from afar, and her meaning was self-evident.
Rich businessman: "?"
"Oh! By the way, the leader and Gordon also removed one of Lingshan Dragon's tusks. It's twenty meters long! We may have to send a camel team to drag it back!"
Cessna was chirping, and President Mustache was very happy to hear it. The sadness after learning about the heavy casualties was also diluted a lot.
"Arrangement! Everything is easy to arrange!"
President Mustache waved his hand to summon the leader of the fortress guerrillas, "What, just find any reason and say that the guild has secret operations or something, and there will be a one-day martial law after dawn.
No one is allowed to leave the city without my permission! Especially those merchants with sand boats, keep an eye on me carefully! "
As he said that, President Mustache also glanced at the wealthy businessman from afar.
The leader of the city guerrillas followed the president's line of sight, squinted his eyes to remember the appearance of the wealthy businessman, and nodded heavily.
Rich businessman: "???"
After President Mustache had arranged all the matters, the wealthy businessman walked forward rubbing his hands.
"Ah~, senior, can you tell me? Is it this year?"
"right!"
President Mustache responded to the other party's guess without hesitation, with the shrewdness and cunning unique to a businessman appearing in his eyes.
"This year's harvest will be a bumper harvest, a super bumper harvest! Do you know Lingshan Dragon? The Fengshan Dragon subspecies is a super rare and super mysterious existence that is much more powerful than the Fengshan Dragon.
Special crystals rich in mysterious energy, various rare minerals, and a twenty-meter-long ancient dragon tusk are all more than you can eat! "
"You can eat it, of course you can!" The wealthy businessman rubbed his hands frantically, "The price is negotiable, so please give us priority!"
"Well, after all, Lingshan dragons are rare to see in a thousand years. Don't talk about you, um, I mean Shiguo behind you. Even the Hunter Guild Headquarters, the Ancient Dragon Observation Bureau, and the kingdom are all very greedy."
The corner of the wealthy businessman's mouth twitched, now he started to take advantage of the situation?
"If you have any requests, feel free to ask." The wealthy businessman gritted his teeth and said.
"The fleet was seriously damaged. The most important Fengshan Pill was shattered into pieces, all the sand boats were destroyed, and most of the fishing fleet was damaged. It's hard for me, the guild leader, to handle it."
Rich businessman: "."
"The casualties among the crew were also very heavy. I'm not fooling you. You will see when the relief team returns later. There are big holes in various pensions, bonuses, and subsidies." The guild leader said with a heavy expression.
Rich businessman: "."
"But this time, Gordon and the others you introduced have done a great job. I guess you have done a small job, but you can't treat them badly, otherwise no one in the crew will agree.
Well, before formal negotiations begin, let me first see how sincere you are and how generous your rewards are to them, and then decide how stingy I am when I sell you ore this year. "
Rich businessman: "."
