Chapter 1042 You Caught up with a Ghost!

"The above is the basic usage of the catapult. Next, we will practice freely. We have prepared several pictures in advance. You can take turns to try them out for training.

Later, a craftsman will come to help you measure your arm length, weight and other data. A few days later, the catapults adjusted specifically will be distributed.

After completing the first stage of training, we will start teaching about "flying."

On the front deck, Evelyn, who was traveling with the ship as a temporary instructor, pointed to the catapults on the table and said to the hunters in front of her.

She had a subtle sense of déjà vu in her heart. More than four years ago, when the special investigation team was on the ship to the New World, Mr. Mecca told them almost the same thing.

The difference is that the number of members of the fifth group is almost ten times that of the special investigation team.

There are more than 30 elite hunters, with the "recommendation group" composed of three young upper-level hunters as the core, and hundreds of craftsmen, scholars, and logistics teams.

It can be said that the number of members of the fifth investigation team is more than all the previous groups combined. Their arrival will completely solve the problem of insufficient manpower in the New World Investigation Team.

Gene hung a pair of projectors on his left arm and began to try, while Feng Ying and Aiden came to Evelyn with a smile.

They had all worked together in the battle against the giant horned dragon, so they were quite familiar with each other.

Aiden, who was good at communication, spoke first, "Sister Evelyn, long time no see! How are Little Finn and Uncle Ferdie?"

Feng Ying next to him couldn't help but complain in her heart: What kind of messed up generation is this?

Speaking of family, Evelyn, who usually doesn't have much expression, smiled, "They are all fine, how about Julius and the others? There were so many things to do this time that I didn't have time to meet with old friends."

"Master is still so cold-faced. Senior Nadia originally wanted to come to the New World to take a look, but she couldn't leave because of her duties, so she had to stay in the Old World with Master and the others." Aiden scratched the red hair on his head.

"I have a problem too! I have a problem too!" Feng Ying pushed Aiden aside with her shoulder, "We received a letter more than a year ago saying that Anshil and Sister Gale had a child?

Can those two get together? Where's the master! Where's the master and Sister Hayata?!"

Feeling helpless about Feng Ying's "word choice" style, Evelyn looked at her with a slight reproach and said, "Fufu's birth was quite unexpected.

As for Gordon and the others, it seems that they have no plans to raise the next generation. Maybe they want to wait until all this is over."

"Tsk tsk tsk tsk!" Feng Ying smiled slyly. She was already imagining how to tease the seniors.

When he heard the name of Gordon Hayata, Gene also came over.

He grew up in the wild and often gave people a sense of arrogance and exaggeration, but that was just an appearance. Hunters who had worked with him knew that he was actually a tough and terrifying guy.

But if you want to say that he was arrogant, he was indeed arrogant. He was a person who refused to obey others, and there were very few people who could gain his respect.

Gordon and Hayata, who were considered his guides, were naturally included.

"By the way, Brother Gordon was already an eight-star hunter before he went to the New World, right? Has he been promoted to nine stars now?" Gene's question was simple and direct.

Evelyn glanced at the tall young man in front of her.

Since the guild expanded the hunter team and launched a plan to vigorously train newcomers seven or eight years ago, a large number of geniuses have emerged in the Old World in recent years.

The three people in front of her are the best among them.

She didn't know Gene, but she had read Gene's information.

The former resident hunter of Pokai Village in the Vlassia region showed amazing talent very early. After successfully participating in the crusade against the "Black God" Tyrannosaurus last year, he was promoted to seven stars. He was only 23 years old at this time.

This promotion speed is no worse than those of the Silver Edge.

After a moment of silence, Evelyn answered Gene's question: "No, the conditions for promotion to nine stars are not as simple as hunting a powerful monster. Eight stars is already the pinnacle of the hunter level in the conventional sense.

But in my personal opinion, Gordon, who is now entering his peak period, is not weaker than those predecessors who are respected as 'masters'."

Gene, who selectively ignored the second half of the sentence, clenched his fists, "Catch up!"

Feng Ying on the side rolled her eyes at him like a salted fish, "You catch up with a ghost, you can't even beat me, and you are even earlier than Master Gordon!"

At the same time, in the Ancient Tree Forest.

Gordon put down the telescope, "Confirmed that a brute jaw dragon is located 20 kilometers northwest of the ancient giant tree, and there is a sufficient safe distance from the base, so there is no need to hunt."

Zhu Chop took a small notebook to record Gordon's words.

Gordon grabbed the vines and slid down from the big tree where he observed the brute jaw dragon. After landing, he held his fingers and whistled sharply.

Pig Chop skillfully jumped onto his back and held on.

A particularly sturdy acid pterosaur swooped down and took them out of the forest.

Dozens of minutes later, they returned to the Star Base.

He bought a few fresh fish from the Detters who were carrying the catch and threw them to the acid pterosaur as a reward. After sending it away, Gordon stretched his body.

"Today's task is very simple, you can go home early!"

Pig Chop looked at him sideways, "I think you need to find a fixed editor partner meow."

"Don't you have one?"

"What pig talk are you talking about? I'm just a cat meow!" Pig Chop looked a little angry.

After several years of practice, the two-person action mode of hunter and editor has proven its convenience and high efficiency.

Unless it is a hunting operation that requires the participation of multiple hunters, most investigative tasks are carried out by one hunter and one editor.

The two high-ranking teams, Silver Bian and Jiujiu, are quite special. Most of the time, they act as a group and are responsible for eliminating some high-risk targets, such as the Explosive Scale Dragon.

But there are times when they investigate alone. For example, today, there is no need to send out a whole team of high-ranking hunters to investigate the movements of the Cephalosaurus.

Therefore, most of the high-ranking hunters in the Special Investigation Team have found regular partners.

For example, Aziz and Lin (a lonely fish investigator) who are passionate about fish surveys, Hayata often cooperates with Herta, and Gale catches grubs.

Anhill's situation is quite special. Under the arrangement of the Commander-in-Chief, he rarely performs single-person investigation missions and spends most of his time promoting the formation of a special team.

This plan originally originated from Gale's original suggestion. Yes, it was the Qimian clan-style suggestion that "everyone has a rocket launcher, and the ancient dragon has to kneel when he sees it."

This outrageous proposal was, of course, not adopted, but it partly inspired another of Ancier’s ideas.

The fire suppression effect of mortar-type diffusion bombs has been recognized by everyone, but this thing is destined to be unable to cooperate with the swordsmen.

So Ancil asked whether it was possible to form a team composed entirely of heavy crossbowmen.

It is not a fixed team like Yinbian, but when necessary, these heavy crossbowmen are gathered together and jointly use diffusion bombs to form extremely powerful fire suppression through concentrated fire.

The commander-in-chief attaches great importance to this plan.

After evaluation, an attack team composed of four skilled heavy crossbowmen has a suppression capability that is not inferior to four fixed artillery pieces when concentrated use of spread bombs.

Under certain circumstances, such as when a super-giant ancient dragon attacks, such a "diffusion team" may play an extremely critical role.

However, there are two problems that need to be solved urgently. One is the shortage of manpower. The investigation team currently has only two heavy crossbowmen, Anhir, and a middle-aged shooter in his forties from the fourth phase team.

This problem should be solved smoothly after the arrival of the fifth phase of the team.

Another problem is weapons.

Not all heavy crossbows can mortar diffusion bombs, and there are even fewer heavy crossbows that can fire lv3 diffusion bombs.

The current alternative is a heavy crossbow made from Thieving Dragon materials - the Tooth Dragon Heavy Ballista.

The advantage of this type of heavy crossbow is that it is low-cost to build, easy to buy, and has good power. The disadvantage is that it can only launch lv2 diffusion bombs and cannot fire the most powerful lv3.

In recent days, Anhir has been worried about this.

Ps.

I would like to emphasize that militarized hunting teams are used under certain special circumstances. For example, when the Molten Dragon attacks, or when fighting against the Huilong, the heavy crossbowmen temporarily gather together to jointly suppress it. It does not mean that An Xi I left Silverside and formed a new team.
