"Meow meow meow!"
Gordon suddenly sat up after being slapped on the face by the cat's claws.
It was still dark, and even the eastern horizon was pitch black.
Gordon looked around and was confused for a few seconds before he recalled that he slept on the top of the first city wall last night.
Laoshanlong is already very close to Jiuzhaigou, and the large group of serpentine dragons and velociraptors lingering around it will attack at any time.
Therefore, most hunters were like him, fully armed and wrapped in a blanket and slept on the city wall.
The tense atmosphere before the war kept many people awake.
In order to maintain their energy, they drank a medicinal soup with sleeping grass in it. Gordon, who had already had a good sleep quality, also drank a cup, and ended up falling into a somewhat dead sleep.
He patted his cheek hard to wake up his sleepy brain.
Gordon asked Pork Chop who woke him up, "Has Lao Shanlong arrived yet?"
"Looking at the signal from the hot air balloon, it's still going to be a while, but there are already small monsters coming, meow!" Pig Chop pointed to the sky.
Gordon squinted and could vaguely see some dark shadows lingering high in the sky.
It's a pterosaur.
He looked around again. Some blankets were scattered around. There were not many people on the city wall. Everyone seemed to have gotten up earlier than him.
Gordon turned over and jumped up, grabbed the epitaph sword that was leaning on his hand, carried it behind his back, and complained, "Why am I the only one who wakes up late? Why don't you ask me to get off..."
Pig Chop licked his paws, "Mr. Xia Zuo said, sleep more if you can, meow. Sporadic fighting has begun, but it's not time for us to appear yet."
"How can this be said!"
Gordon quickly walked to the stairs leading to the bottom of the city wall, running down in three steps and two steps, Pork Chop following closely behind.
Of course it understood Gordon's mood, otherwise it wouldn't have hurriedly patted Gordon awake.
In front of the city wall, they met Hayata who was walking this way.
"Senior Gordon, Pork Chop, you guys are awake!"
Hayata smiled and handed over a huge bread with large pieces of cheese and salty ham inside, "This is breakfast."
"Lazy Pig Chop, meow, eat it quickly, meow!" Pandan swung a stick and threw a big sausage into Pig Chop's face.
"So luxurious?" Gordon took the surprisingly large sandwich in slight surprise. The breakfast of the past few days had been wheat porridge.
"I don't know how long the battle will last, but I have to eat enough." Hayata handed over another package, "And these are supplies."
"Thank you very much."
Gordon took the sandwich in his mouth and checked the supplies.
Since he is fighting with his back to the fortress, he does not need to carry too many supplies with him, and the types of supplies are also relatively streamlined. In addition to standard emergency medicine and food, there are also less common vitality drinks.
This takes into account the needs of hunters for long-term operations.
What is rarer is that there is actually a wax-sealed pill in the package.
Gordon picked it up and sniffed it, and said in surprise: "Ancient secret medicine? The guild is spending so much money on it."
This is a high-grade pill that is more precious than the secret medicine. Not only does it have a better healing effect than ordinary secret medicine (it doesn't), it is also rich in nutrients and can support hunters in long-term operations.
The overall effect is equivalent to the secret medicine plus several pieces of carrying food, and the value is several times the former. It is a luxury item that high-level hunters rarely buy...
"This is only provided to high-level hunters." Hayata reminded in a low voice.
Gordon nodded, put a few supplies into the prop bag on his back, and then gnawed on the sandwich.
He ate very quickly and the huge sandwich quickly disappeared into his mouth.
Beating his choking chest, Gordon asked: "What's the situation over there on Battle Street now?"
Hayata glanced in the direction of Battle Street and said: "Not long after I was called up, Master and the others had already passed by. I heard that since midnight, small groups of velociraptors began to invade Battle Street, but the number was limited. It’s not much, so it shouldn’t be a problem.”
"Rumble--"
A dull explosion came from afar, and the echo echoed among the canyon cliffs for a long time.
"It's the sound of the bomb barrel, meow." Pig Chop tried his best to swallow the sausage in his mouth, and said with great certainty: "It's still the kind of thing that's been added with some ingredients, meow."
Ah Jin and the others said that they would not use explosive barrels before a large group of velociraptors came over. "
Gordon, who understood what Pork Chop meant, looked at Hayata.
Hayata immediately said: "I have no problem. The equipment has been checked many times and the props have just been replenished."
Gordon nodded, "That's good, let's go there now."
.....
The first half of Battle Street exudes a strong smell of blood, mixed with the smell of gunpowder smoke.
Gordon frowned involuntarily.
Although Ah Jin had said before that there were few monsters in the area near Jiuzhaigou, but would such a strong smell of blood really not attract monsters from further away?
Running all the way to the entrance of Battle Street, Gordon and Hayata slowed down.
Probably because of the explosion just now, many hunters gathered here. It is impossible to count them in detail. I estimate that there are about five or six.
Xia Zuo stood on a platform where the fort was placed, waving his hands slightly angrily, "Everyone go back to your posts, don't be surprised!
Unless you see a red emergency signal flare, don't rush over to it. Keep your position and forget about it? "
Gordon scratched his chin and said in his mind, we really forgot...
After all, hunters are not soldiers. Even if they are willing to obey orders, their discipline is not that strong.
The hunters who gathered around dispersed with stern expressions, leaving only the thirty or so people who were here originally.
The war is coming, everyone's hearts are tense, their nerves are a little nervous and sensitive, and they want to come and take a look when they hear the movement.
Gordon Hayata and the others did not leave. The duty of the upper-level hunters was to guard the entrance to Battle Street and wait for Lao Shanlong to arrive.
Seeing the two people coming, Xia Zuo nodded to them.
Gordon noticed that in addition to the group of "vanguards" responsible for killing small monsters, there were several elite shooters guarding the entrance to Battle Street.
If you think about it for a while, you can understand that the purpose of these shooters being arranged here is simply to cover the vanguard and shoot the pterosaurs attracted by the smell of blood.
These pterosaurs are very cunning and have been hovering high in the sky out of reach of arrows and crossbows. When they dive and attack, it is the best time to shoot them.
At this moment, a winged snake dragon pounced down under the cover of night.
Before it could get close to the ground, a fragmentation bomb accurately cut off the dragon wing on one side of it, and it fell wailing.
With a proud look on his face, Oshula put away the Thunder Wolf Dragon light crossbow that he had been aiming at for a long time, and said happily: "Hey, it's finally open!"
A Jin and others gave her a thumbs up, which made her even more proud.
Miles on the side waved his hand and slapped her on the back of the head, "Who told you to put away your weapon? Set up the crossbow alert, don't be lazy!"
"oh......"
After teaching Oshula a lesson, Miles said to Xia Zuo: "I'll leave this to you first. I'm going to inspect the battle positions of the artillery and heavy crossbows. Those brats are impetuous, so I don't trust them."
"Okay, please."
Gordon glanced around and found that all the high-ranking hunters had arrived, but instead of looking for them, he came to Ajin and asked in a low voice.
"So what happened just now, and explosive bombs were used?"
Ah Jin winked at him, "The bait worked well, attracting a group of red velociraptors. There are no such red guys in the Xiuret area. They probably came from the north with Lao Shanlong.
There was also the Red Velociraptor King leading us. We thought we could try out the effect of explosive barrels, so we ordered one, killing and injuring a dozen people, hehe. "
Gordon understood clearly after hearing this, that the red velociraptor, which has venom glands and can spray venom, is much more difficult to deal with than the blue velociraptor.
"The Red Velociraptor King was also killed?"
"That's not the case. The guy was very cautious and hid very far back. He wasn't even hurt at all."
Pork Chop on one side scratched his ears to hide his embarrassment.
What Ah Jin and the others said was indeed correct. If they had followed the centralized detonation tactics they and Yin Fulin had formulated before, the final result would have been mediocre.
"So, where is the red velociraptor king? Did he run away?" Gordon asked curiously.
Ah Jin grinned, a trace of sympathy appeared on his face, and he glanced at the bored upper-level hunters.
"No, he died, he died miserably..."
