Chapter 556 Is It Too Late to Switch to Air Combat Now?

Gordon and the other swordsmen couldn't help with the debugging of the artillery. They continued to move forward, and the first wall of the old village soon appeared in front of them.

The specifications of this city wall are obviously smaller than the one seen last night, with a height of less than thirty meters, and there is only one dragon gun equipped inside the wall.

But that doesn't mean the wall is fragile.

In Gordon's opinion, the location of this city wall, which was the first to be attacked, was very good, even better than the second city wall that served as the final line of defense for the old stronghold.

This is a long and narrow pass, the narrowest point is only thirty meters wide, and Laoshanlong can only barely pass through it.

The city wall is set up here, not only using the least building materials, but the narrow but thicker trapezoidal wall can also ensure higher strength and is very reliable.

Therefore, the main warehouse that supplies the front section of the Battle Street and the field hospital that takes care of the wounded are also set up around this city wall.

Like the second city wall, this place is also busy, and at the same time, there are many hunters stationed here.

According to them, this construction site is more dangerous than the second city wall. Occasionally, there will be small monsters such as Pterosaurus, attracted by the noise of repairing the city wall.

Therefore, they must arrange for manpower to stand guard 24 hours a day to eliminate small monsters that may appear at any time to prevent them from harming the craftsmen.

After passing through the narrow city gate, the hunters entered the front part of the entire old village, the battle street that was more than five kilometers long.

"It feels like the density of the forts here is indeed much smaller." Gordon commented as he watched.

"Yeah, but there are a lot more heavy-duty bed crossbows." Xia Zuo looked up at the land bridge above his head, "There are several installed on each land bridge. They should be used to kill small monsters, such as Pterosaurus."

"I'll go to the land bridge and have a look!" Agaxi, who never spoke much, said hello and trotted up the simple stairs on the cliff.

Hayata didn't quite understand why this senior with a low sense of presence was so excited.

Kip, the ax wielder who is familiar with the latter, explained with a smile, "They like to find terrain in the air combat style, especially those who use insect sticks. There are all insect stick users who don't like to use their backs."

Hayata couldn't help but think of Maka, who had been slapped away several times by the Thunder Wolf Dragon, but still couldn't help but put her back on her back, and nodded in understanding.

With the mentality of being familiar with the facilities, everyone also followed the land bridge.

The land bridge deck was about 17 or 18 meters above the ground. Gordon looked down and felt that whether he would die if he jumped from this height was basically impossible without getting injured.

Agaxi was also in a bit of a dilemma. It was one thing to be good at aerial combat, but this height was a bit too high. Even she was not sure of landing safely.

"No, senior Xia Zuo, what is the approximate height of Laoshanlong's spine?" Gordon suddenly realized and turned around to ask Xia Zuo.

"According to data records, the height of the ridge in the crawling state is approximately fifteen meters."

"That's no wonder"

Agaxi was also stunned, "It turns out this is a very convenient design."

"If there is such a height difference, you can also consider jumping onto the back of the Laoshan Dragon with a bomb barrel and detonating it."

"Yes, Meow. Meow can specialize in making super big explosive bombs for dragons. Meow has been used against Lingshan Dragon before!"

Pork Chop, who had previously said he was going to wake up Panlan, appeared here with Evelin in his arms for some unknown reason.

Gordon's eyes became subtle.

Just as he was about to say something, a sharp horn sound suddenly sounded in the distance.

That was obviously some kind of emergency signal.

The hunters suddenly became serious, and rushed down the land bridge in three steps and two steps, running towards the direction where the horn sound came from.

They were running along the canyon, and there was a strange noise in front of them. The hunter's shouts were mixed with the sharp screams of the monsters, which were the sounds of battle.

The pace of the hunters quickened further.

At this time, the disadvantage of heavy weapons became apparent. Gordon and the ax wielder Chip were quickly left behind, while the others accelerated forward.

When they rushed through a corner, the scene of a fierce battle came into view.

They were several pterosaurs, taking turns swooping down to attack a hunter holding a sledgehammer.

The sledgehammer was heavy, and the strength of the sledgehammer user was not outstanding. He roared and swung the sledgehammer, but his opponent deftly dodged it every time.

Faced with repeated attacks by the Pterosaurs, they could only barely protect themselves.

Since Pterosaurs are good at flying and have the habit of hunting in groups, they rarely act alone. Among all small monsters, they can be said to be the most difficult to deal with.

Initially, Pteranodon was considered a member of the flying dragon species due to its "typical" body structure, and was nicknamed the "smallest flying dragon".

But later, with the development of anatomy and in-depth research, the paleontologists changed its biological classification.

Classify it into an extremely rare species - the snake dragon species.

Since then, novice hunters can no longer boast that they have hunted a wyvern by hunting a wyvern.

Seeing that the sledgehammer was in a tough fight, Xia Zuo, who was running at the front, activated his two blades, and the raging fighting spirit filled his body.

Become a ghost!

His speed suddenly increased and turned into an afterimage, shooting forward quickly.

Gordon, who was trying hard to catch up behind him, couldn't help but slow down. It was no longer his business.

This uncle with slightly white temples who wields two swords can be said to be the fastest among all the hunters he knows.

This position once belonged to Julius.

Indeed, Julius's strength is still on the rise, but at least for now, Xia Zuo's speed is faster than his.

When Xia Zuo turned on the demon humanization, Hayata and Evelyn, who were originally in the first queue, were instantly pulled away. The only person who could barely keep up with his pace was the insect stick master Agashi.

According to Gordon's visual observation, the stride of this senior with amazingly long legs was more than two meters per step, and the frequency of his steps was extremely fast. The whole person looked like he was flying close to the ground.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the two had approached the position less than ten meters away from the hammer master and the pterosaur war group.

The cruel but cautious pterosaurs sensed the danger and gave up the attack on the hammer master. They flapped their wings and began to rise into the air, and soon rose into the air four or five meters high.

For most swordsmen, this is an unattainable height.

But the two who rushed up were obviously not one of the "most".

Xia Zuo slightly adjusted the direction and rushed to the nearly vertical cliff on the side. He took advantage of the protruding rocks on the cliff and leaped up. Then he kicked the rock wall with his feet and flipped backwards to the middle of the pterosaurs that rose into the air.

He twisted his body and arms, and the sharp swords in his hands turned into a whirlwind of hard blades, cutting the two pterosaurs into pieces while blood was flying.

"Ji Ga!"

Because it flew higher, the pterosaur that narrowly escaped the disaster screamed and tried to flap its wings to continue to rise.

At this time, Ajiaxi had also rushed to the nearby area, and the insect stick in her hand spun, and the head of the stick pointed to the ground. The power of the charge turned into a thrust to lift her into the air under the prying of the insect stick, sending her into the air.

At this moment, she seemed to be free from the constraints of gravity, and leaped above the pterosaur. The sharp blade at the head of the stick easily pierced the back of the pterosaur, and the tip of the blade pierced through its chest.

"Ji——"

The pterosaur's roar paused, and its slender body turned into a corpse, twitching and nailed to the ground.

Agashi, who landed on the pterosaur's corpse, pulled out the insect-control stick, danced with the stick, shook off the dirty blood on the stick head, and carried it back.

In a blink of an eye, the three pterosaurs were killed.

Gordon, who witnessed all this from afar, stopped.

Well, is it too late for me to switch to air combat sword now?
