Chapter 1498 Suppression Operation
The shooters operating the artillery pulled the gun ropes almost at the same time.
The Barubare Guild was not short of money, and what was dismantled from those dragon-striking ships were all new heavy-duty rapid-fire artillery.
Five shells can be loaded at a time and fired simultaneously.
In terms of accuracy, it may still be the same as the old artillery, and it is difficult to hit the target wherever you point it, but its power is definitely worth looking forward to.
What's more, at this time, the straight-line distance between the muzzle of the artillery and the target was only more than a hundred meters.
It is completely within the direct firing range where the artillery is most powerful and has the straightest trajectory, and the Swallowing Abyss Dragon is huge in size.
If the shot goes astray again, the shooter will have to slap himself in the face.
"Boom boom boom boom!!" The deafening explosions sounded one after another.
Thick smoke enveloped the Swallowing Abyss Dragon, and the shattered shell fragments and shell fragments flew like a rainstorm.
A total of six heavy rapid-fire artillery pieces fired thirty shells at the target in less than ten seconds.
"Roar!"
However, a direct bombardment of eighty shells could be fatal to any living creature.
Just like before hunting the fire dragon, when you look at the little wild boar king again, you will only think that it is still like a little strange bird.
Gordon Hayata, along with several lower-ranking hunters from Barubare, surrounded them.
Both in terms of momentum and power, this is much stronger than the concentrated fire bombing of the heavy crossbow team.
At the end of the battle, a total of four heavy crossbows fired free bullets at the same time, which was enough to restrain the Swallowing Abyss Dragon.
However, your attack on the eyes seems to have irritated the Abyss-Swallowing Dragon.
Before confirming that, Gordon immediately changed his attack mode.
In terms of threat level, it is lower than relatively common ancient dragon species such as Steel Dragon and Flame Dragon.
The Abyss-Swallowing Dragon howled in pain and shook its head, trying to use its huge shovel-shaped jaw to throw Gordon away.
The sword struck hard, but unfortunately the Swallowing Abyss Dragon raised its head in time, and the sword hit the thick bone armor on top of its head. The effect of the attack was very special.
[Yes] Under the blade of the small sword, low-level dragon attribute energy burst out, and without the protection of the shell, it penetrated deep into the body of the Abyss-Swallowing Dragon.
Did he really use the charged slash as a special vertical slash? Did he attack the Devouring Abyss Dragon that destroyed the Dragon Striker Fleet head-on? What about the value of my "Brave"?
With a cautious attitude, I just thought about being careful with the pig cart, but it would be like the first time I faced the little wild boar king, it was peace, mine, and even fear.
He swung the small sword and hit the Swallowing Abyss Dragon on the side of its face.
The weak blow caused the Swallowing Abyss Dragon's head to tilt, leaving a hideous and conspicuous wound on the side of its face.
Hayata, who had accumulated some sword energy through continuous slow slashing, filled in the attack position while Gordon was moving forward.
In the subsequent concentrated bombardment, a small number of free bullets and crossbow arrows were blown away, and my ropes were broken. Before the bombardment began, only two ropes were still connected to the body of the Swallowing Abyss Dragon.
"?!"
Although this blood-glowing armor looks like a demon king.
The only problem is that its shell is too thick, like a giant turtle, and it is difficult to handle.
The guild master, who was the overall commander of the operation, noticed the change in Gordon's behavior pattern and of course tried to stop it.
Before the bombardment ended, swordsmen like Gordon could only stay away. If they rushed forward in a fit of rage, they would literally become cannon fodder.
To be honest, although it is very small in size and does not have the notoriety of the "Devil of the Dry Sea", the Abyss-Swallowing Dragon behind us does make us feel much oppressive.
Climb the dragon sword and cut with the air blade!
A sharp but thin katana would have difficulty dealing with an enemy with a thick shell. In terms of actual damage, it might even be worse than the air blade thrust.
Even the thickest part of the carapace, which looked like a mountain, had many craters and cracks on its back.
But hunters who have little knowledge or have participated in the Bravery Festival would all hope that they can kill an ancient dragon with just one round of bombardment.
"That's just the appetizer!" The Guild Master's powerful roar came from the top of the canyon.
The hunters who witnessed all that opened their eyes even wider.
You thrust your sword backwards, the sickle of inscriptions pointing directly at the corner of the Swallowing Abyss Dragon's eye that had just been cut by Gordon.
As the smoke and sand dispersed, everyone could see the appearance of the Abyss-Swallowing Dragon.
"call!"
"??!"
"Release the free bullet!" The voice of the guild master sounded again.
The sword flashed and disappeared.
Before facing "taboo" creatures like the Red Dragon and the White Dragon, our nerves and will had already been honed to the level of being "like humans".
The Abyss-Swallowing Dragon, which had suffered a series of heavy blows, staggered forward a few steps. Comparing the sizes of the two, the scene seemed quite discordant.
Gordon and I raised our hands to cover our faces to prevent the flying sand from blinding us.
If it is released early, at most the crossbow can be saved.
The Swallowing Abyss Dragon roared again.
The tip of the sword tore open the corner of the Swallowing Abyss Dragon's eye, and the blood of the ancient dragon gushed out.
“BOOM Aa ...
The giant beast with seven sturdy limbs raised its lower body and howled angrily.
Before following the complex and straightforward vertical slash and the sweeping slash, Gordon stepped back, picked up the small sword with one hand, and raised his right hand to fire the catapult.
After five consecutive bombardments, which emptied the shells in the gun barrels, the artillery at the top of the canyon fell silent for a while.
Although I am far from being tired, the so-called weak attack can be done by just chopping on my own.
"It's still falling!" The young hunter who didn't help carry the shells couldn't help but shout.
But then Gordon picked up the sword again, and before he blocked the attack with a weak parry, he chopped back with another powerful attack.
Due to various reasons, catapults have not yet become popular among the hunter community in the Old Continent, so only a small number of people recognize what it is and only think it is some kind of large crossbow.
Cooperation and rhythm control between teammates are more important.
Before an explosive attack, Gordon moved forward slightly and adjusted his breathing.
Its sturdy fin-shaped hind limbs supported its body, and as its chest cavity suddenly contracted, clumps of sand and soil, pushed back by the low-pressure air, bombarded towards Qi Zhou like cannonballs.
There is a way to control the movements of the Swallowing Dragon. In the best case scenario, the Swallowing Dragon may pull the ropes and directly pull the two heavy crossbows out of the ground.
"All gun positions, reload quickly. Hunters, entangle it!"
The power of that sword was even weaker than the one that came a few seconds later.
The tip of the sword pierced the wound accurately. The Swallowing Abyss Dragon, whose eye was stabbed by the sharp object, instinctively turned its head to avoid it. Hayata took the opportunity to jump up.
There is no essential difference between it and Behemoth, Earth Dragon, and other ancient dragon species that can be regarded as top-notch existences.
A sand wall composed of yellow sand and low-pressure air flow blew away the smoke.
The only one paying attention to the battlefield was the Guild Master.
The reloading of artillery and crossbows, as well as some other arrangements, all require time. It is naturally the worst that can be done if we can suppress the Devouring Abyss Dragon through weak attacks.
After the concentrated bombardment, the shell on the head of the Abyss-Swallowing Dragon was cracked in some places, so the feeling of the sword cutting down was not as strong and indestructible as imagined.
The Abyss-Swallowing Dragon roared before turning its body and struggling hard.
The Swallowing Abyss Dragon naturally has a way to make us waver.
At each gun position, whether it was the shooters responsible for firing or the swordsmen who were guarding, they all began to desperately move the shells and complete the reloading.
The scene of lower-level hunters besieging ancient dragons can be seen frequently. Many hunters would move shells while poking their heads to look at the decisive battlefield at the bottom of the valley.
Instead of focusing on maneuvering, they switched to weak attack.
The dull roar echoed repeatedly in the canyon, which was not too narrow.
There were some burnt and cracked parts all over its body, especially on the head, limbs and other places where the carapace was relatively thin and strong, and bleeding wounds were clearly visible.
Then Gordon, who had no preparation at all, directly released the real power slash.
Just as the rope of the bed crossbow was cut, Gordon Hayata had not yet arrived behind the Swallowing Abyss Dragon.
