Chapter 541 Emergency Declaration

Ms. Fanti looked up at the elder, "Instead of building a useless last line of defense at the doorstep, it is better to concentrate all our strength on the strongest new fort and repel the old mountain dragon here."

The elder was silent for a moment, and his voice was like thunder.

"Okay."

"Assuming the source of defense equipment such as the dragon-striking spear and the transportation problem is solved, we only need to consider the installation of equipment and city gates, and the reinforcement of the walls of the new fort, how long will it take to complete it? Can it be completed within a month?" The guild director looked at the official and asked.

The official scratched his hair hard, "Impossible, you send the dragon-striking spears and artillery, and we also have to consider hoisting.

The number of large hoisting equipment is limited. It takes a whole month to hoist the city gate alone. The wall reinforcement is easy to say, and it can be carried out simultaneously by adding more people.

But the one month for hoisting the city gate and the ten days for installing defense equipment are fixed. At least forty days are needed, and this is still under the condition of working day and night without considering manpower and cost."

"Forty days." The elder frowned.

The old mountain dragon will arrive at Minagard in just one month, how can we gain these ten days.

"Send hunters to intercept it on the way?" Someone suggested.

"It doesn't make much sense." The elder shook his head slowly, "With the size of the old mountain dragon, hunters can hardly pose an effective threat to it without relying on the facilities of the fort, and it is difficult to even slow down its pace."

"Maybe it can be done this way."

Cambey spoke again: "Although the old fort is not strong enough, it is still a fortress that has successfully blocked the old mountain dragon several times.

If the dragon-striking spears over there are repaired quickly, they should be able to be used, right? Then arrange some artillery and heavy crossbows.

Build the first line of defense here to buy time for the installation of equipment in the new fort."

"The fort cannot block the old mountain dragon for ten days."

A guild leader retorted, "In past records, the blocking operations in front of the fort usually took one to two days. Either the fort was damaged or breached, or the old mountain dragon had given up and turned away."

"No, it might be possible."

Ms. Fanti said, "The distance between the old fort and the new fort is quite far. At the walking speed of the old mountain dragon, it would take about five or six days.

If we can severely injure the old mountain dragon in the old fort, at least make it inconvenient to move, it might slow down.

We will send hunters to block it along the way. In this way, we may be able to buy enough time before it reaches the new fort."

"Are you sure?" asked another guild leader.

Fan Ti smiled bitterly and shook his head, "There is no such thing as being sure or not. It's just to do everything you can and then wait for the results."

"That's right."

The elder paused and paused the huge old sword in his hand, "Issue an 'emergency declaration' to mobilize all the forces that can be mobilized. We must defend Minagard City in front of the old mountain dragon."

The pigeons and peregrine falcons at the guild headquarters scattered and flew to all parts of the world.

Countless airships were recruited, whether official or civilian.

They shuttled back and forth between major cities, transporting craftsman teams, weapons and equipment, construction materials, and the most important hunters to Minagard City in the northwest of the continent at a very fast speed.

A few days later, Gordon, who was slacking off in Berna Village, also received an emergency transfer order from the guild.

Not to mention that he was originally an "external aid", even many hunters belonging to the Dragon Calendar Institute were also dispatched.

Under the "emergency declaration", not only the upper hunters, but as long as you are a hunter, you must obey the guild's dispatch.

Excluding Gordon, a total of five hunters in the entire Berna Village received the dispatch order, two upper-level swordsmen, and the remaining three were four-star and five-star shooters.

There were no lower-level swordsmen because, regardless of the equipment level or their own strength, it was difficult for lower-level swordsmen to pose a threat to super-large ancient dragons like the Old Mountain Dragon.

The casualty rate would also be alarmingly high, and there was really no need to dispatch them to take risks.

Since the two upper-level hunters except Gordon had not yet returned to Berna Village, the hunters of the Dragon Calendar Institute would set off in a few days and fly directly to Minagard.

Gordon first boarded a cargo airship to East Doruma. He planned to go back to his master to inquire about some "inside information", then go to Ansir's house to get the epitaph sword, and then rush to Minagard.

Now the Old Mountain Dragon is still slowly crawling among the mountains, and the craftsmen are rushing to repair the two fortresses every minute and every second. As for the hunters, it is not time for them to fight desperately.

For human civilization, airships are a cross-era transportation technology. Even if the speed of a cargo airship is not fast, it only takes more than two days to fly from Berna Village to Dongdoruma.

For this, Gordon was complained by Pig Chop again.

Think about how we went to Berna Village!

Gordon did not feel the tense atmosphere he imagined when he came to Dongdoruma. On second thought, it was Minagard City, not Dongdoruma, that was threatened by the old mountain dragon.

For the residents of Dongdoruma, it was just a news story.

He went straight to the master's studio.

The master was not surprised to see Gordon running over.

Compared with Julius, who was so strict that he was a little rigid, his second apprentice's brain was obviously much more active.

"Master, is the situation in Minagard very critical?"

Gordon asked tentatively: "A small place like Berna Village has recruited three upper hunters. How many upper hunters will participate in the battle? Is the old mountain dragon so difficult?"

Gordon participated in three battles against ancient dragons in total. When fighting Lingshan Dragon, there was only Maridan as a high-level hunter. When fighting Qilin, there was only Yamos. Only when facing Lanlong, he and Hilda were the only ones. A top hunter joins the battle.

But Lao Shanlong.

The master poured a glass of water for the tired Gordon and Zhupa, and said with a smile: "That's because Longliyuan itself is special and has a large number of high-level hunters. How can you say that an ordinary village can have so many high-level hunters?"

Gordon thought about it. Not to mention small villages like Bokai Village, Jieyun Village was no smaller than Bernard Village, but it didn't even have a permanent high-ranking hunter.

The master craftsman continued: "The high-ranking hunters of Ryūliyuan have recently been busy collecting materials for their Dragon Consciousness Ship. This is something that can be slowed down a little, so the guild feels free to draw strength from them."

"That's it." Gordon suddenly realized.

"As far as I know, there are a total of nine high-level hunters participating in the battle against Laoshan Dragon this time. Two were sent by Ryuuriyuan, and three were sent by Todoruma. Well, you are included in Todoruma. In addition, there are four local people from Minagard."

"Nine people?! This is already a scary number!" Gordon exclaimed, "At that time, I was participating in the 'Banquet in the Great Desert', and only Maridan, a high-ranking hunter, participated in the battle!"

The smile on the master's face faded a little. He pondered for a moment and said: "The situation is different. Lockrak's 'Feast' mainly relies on the dragon-attacking boat and the sand boat group, as well as the experienced crew. The hunter is not the key.

In fact, Lao Shanlong mainly relied on the "stronghold" to repel the enemy, and this time, there were some problems in the stronghold."

After listening to the master explain the situation, Gordon finally understood why there were so many high-level hunters participating in the war.

After the old village was breached, the new village was not ready to be completed.

They can only stop Lao Shanlong.

Ps.

In fact, outside of the rules of the game, a heavy and flightless super giant ancient dragon like Laoshanlong should be the best to deal with. It can bury explosives hard, right?

Therefore, in this "realistic" adaptation, I will increase the difficulty of blocking Laoshanlong.
