Gordon and the others were not blind, so they naturally noticed that Mantis had stepped up its attacks on the city wall.
This seems to be some kind of venting behavior when the hunter is not encountered, but with the intelligence of Ge Mantis, it is obvious that he will not engage in such a meaningless behavior.
What is it going to do? Break through the city wall and enter the city?
No matter what the real purpose is, stop it anyway!
"Intensify the attack!" Gordon yelled.
Ancier changed his attack method and used continuous fire suppression to restrict Ge Mantis's movements.
Gordon charged in a straight line regardless, launching a desperate attack on the Mantis's relatively fragile head and thorax.
This method of attack is too risky. If you are not careful, you will be chopped into pieces by the blade arm. He would never do this when hunting alone, but now, he has companions to cover him.
Ancil's crossbow bullets repeatedly hit the sheath-like joints of the Mantis's arthropods. Although it could not directly penetrate the joints, the movements of the Mantis would be affected from time to time under frequent shooting.
Hayata's covering method is more direct.
In the state of courage, the air blade was highly concentrated, and her control of the limbs was also precise. She clearly felt that her sword skills had improved a lot.
She began to frequently use her favorite move - the defensive counterattack of Gangqi Blade Slash. (gp)
Silk thread attack, slashing, blade arm attack, deflection, swinging dragon gun. This deflection is a bit unrealistic, but if you are prepared in advance, you can also deflect it slightly to change the direction of the attack.
She even somewhat enjoyed this process of seeing and telling each other, and when the mantis was about to attack Gordon, she would take the initiative to cut in and stop the attack.
This made Gordon's attack plan much smoother.
Able to control mechanical behemoths with silk threads, Mantis is very good at multi-tasking, but being able to react does not mean that it can cope with it.
There was no better way, so it could only resist Ancier's shooting interference, rush left and right under the joint suppression of the two swordsmen, and continue to control the dragon gun to bombard the city wall.
This made Gordon increasingly uneasy.
If Pavilion Mantis had used the dragon gun as a defense, its situation would undoubtedly have been much better. However, it endured being slashed by the sword and having green blood splattered all over its body, but it still insisted on attacking the city wall with the dragon gun.
Could it be that after the city wall collapsed, it could immediately turn around?
Comeback and so on? !
Gordon turned his head sharply to look at the crumbling city wall.
There are crossbow cannons on the city walls, reinforced steel beams, dragon guns, and supporting power mechanisms in the walls.
"It's going to knock down the city walls and build a ruined city with ruins!" Gordon yelled, but there was no better way to stop it.
"boom!"
There was another explosion-like roar, and the dragon-shooting gun controlled by Ge Mantis blasted through the steel city gate. It continued to swing the silk thread and pulled hard.
Half of the metal city gate was forcefully pulled out of the city gate hole.
"Ji——!" The mantis chirped like a cheer.
More golden lines shot out and wrapped around the city gate.
Under the complex operation of its jointed limbs and blade arms, the heavy steel city gate seemed to be given life, flying to its side like a huge shield, protecting half of its body.
Seal the hunters' offensive line tightly.
They tried to go around, but under the control of Ge Mantis, this five-six-meter-high shield was far more flexible than they imagined, and they couldn't even see the opponent's movements.
With the "armor" in hand, Ge Mantis simply stopped attacking the hunters. While protecting itself with this giant shield, he controlled the dragon-shooting gun and bombarded the city wall with all his strength.
"Hold it! I'll find a way!" Anhir yelled.
He folded and put away the hot heavy crossbow, blew a whistle, and called back the strong wind that was jumping around the mantis but couldn't find a place to bite.
"Go up to the city wall!" Anhil shouted as he turned over and jumped onto the saddle.
"Woof!"
The gale's limbs, which were so thick that they didn't look like a dog, exploded with force, carrying Ansir and transformed into a white shadow, rushing towards the city wall.
When it was still several meters away from the city wall, it jumped up suddenly, dug its sharp claws into the gaps in the masonry of the city wall, and rushed upward.
This scene made the hunters on the city wall stunned.
Although the wall of the city wall was not completely vertical for stability during construction, was it really at an angle that allowed it to be run up? !
"Everyone retreat immediately! The city wall is about to collapse, and you can't do anything here! Go to the city to help with the rescue!" Ancier shouted at the low-star hunters who were arranged to stay and garrison.
This is a bit direct, but it is also true.
The Pavilion Mantis was not a particularly large monster. Several high-ranking hunters in Silverside struggled fiercely with it. The hunters who controlled the heavy crossbows and cannons were afraid of accidental damage and did not dare to fire.
Faced with Ancier's retreat order, the hunters hesitated.
"Why are you still standing there, why don't you leave quickly!"
Perhaps because of Ancil's status as a high-ranking hunter, or perhaps because his orders seemed too confident, the hunters finally chose to obey and evacuate quickly.
"boom!"
There was another roar and trembling, and the cracks had spread to the top of the city wall. It might not take long before this wall, which was far from meeting the standards of a fortress, would collapse.
Anhir didn't care about this and quickly came to the activation mechanism of the dragon gun.
The accumulation of steam has long been completed. This dragon-shooting gun was originally reserved for the mysterious ancient dragon, but now it is obvious that it can't wait any longer.
I just hope that the steam power mechanism inside the wall is not too seriously damaged and can still be started.
"Gordon!"
Holding the excitation hammer and ready to activate it, Anhil shouted towards the bottom of the city wall.
Glancing at the city wall, Gordon realized what Ancier was going to do and began to try to induce Ge Mantis to move. Hayata also cooperated through a guerrilla attack.
Ge Mantis' position was getting closer to the only dragon-shooting gun in the center of the city wall.
It's now!
Ancil slammed down the starting device.
Can't wait to see the result, jump on Gale's back and let it grab onto the city wall.
A rumbling mechanical roar came from inside the city wall.
Fortunately, the dragon-killing gun can still be activated normally, but with the vibration and operation of the machine, the cracked city wall becomes more shaky.
After a short delay of two or three seconds, the steam-driven dragon gun rotated at high speed and stabbed out with a bang.
This is a blow powerful enough to pierce through the Mantis.
However, the Mantis seemed to have been prepared, ignoring the hunters' entanglement and nimbly jumping back to dodge.
The dragon-killing spear that Ancil had high hopes for was stabbed in the air, and the internal connectors fell off. The steel spear head hung over there and did not retract into the wall.
"grumble--"
The mantis made a mocking cry.
Several more strands of worm threads were shot out and wrapped around the broken dragon gun. As the threads were stretched and pulled, the tip of the dragon gun was pulled out by Mantis and turned into its new weapon. .
Gordon's scalp was numb. Other monsters were getting weaker and weaker as they were beaten, but this guy was getting stronger and stronger.
But they had no particularly good way to stop it. They could only watch helplessly as the mantis swung its tail segment, and the two dragon-killing guns turned into afterimages along with the silk threads, and smashed against the city wall together.
"boom!"
The cracks on the already overwhelmed city wall continued to expand, and the city wall that had protected Metabetat for decades finally collapsed completely.
"Ji Ga——!"
The mantis screamed excitedly, and countless worm threads were thrown out like rain, wrapping around the steel beams, masonry, artillery, machinery, and other objects that could be used by it.
A mechanical behemoth that was completely different from the one in the impression rose from the ground.
The huge body is covered with spikes made of machinery and masonry fragments.
Hooked by golden silk threads, three pairs of legs are very conspicuous, consisting of steel beams, machinery, and large pieces of masonry. On the thickest pair of legs in the middle, there are two gleaming dragon-shooting guns hanging on the left and right, like Folded wing claws.
Under the highly recognizable triangular head, a crying face pattern is also drawn with golden thread.
This is the image of the mysterious ancient dragon.
(In order to avoid confusion for readers who have never played this game, here is nonsense, Ruicheng = mechanical behemoth, there are only two ways of saying it. In short, it is the Gundam built by Mantis Mantis using silk threads to manipulate various things)
