Monster Hunt: Notes From a Hunter

Chapter 579 Blowing up the City Wall

The huge head of the old mountain dragon appeared on the top of the city wall, looking down at the people on the wall.

The hunters operating the artillery were stunned for a moment, and then desperately pushed and turned the red-hot barrel.

The gloomy-faced President Fanti picked up and unfolded the iron-blue heavy crossbow - the crab cannon placed aside.

The dragon-killing bullet in the heavy crossbow had been loaded for a long time. She pulled the trigger continuously, and the crossbow bullet accurately hit the chin of the old mountain dragon. The dragon attribute energy burst out one after another, causing it to look down.

Isabella also stepped forward and drew the big sword behind her.

Although she was over sixty years old, she was more of a combat commander and staff officer, rather than a front-line combat force, but at this moment, she couldn't care so much.

Wasn't the reason why she carried the heavy weapon for this moment?

However, at this moment, the old mountain dragon suddenly let out a painful roar.

The president was stunned for a moment, paused shooting, and stared at the top of the old mountain dragon's head.

Is there anyone there?

Gordon and the other man climbed up the carapace to the top of the old mountain dragon, threw a demon pill into their mouths, and then drew their weapons together.

Hayata swung his sword, activated the air blade, and then put the sword at his side, injecting all the sword energy into it.

Gordon swung his sword horizontally, and the beast soul possessed him!

As the sword energy and momentum continued to be injected, the scarlet sword energy spread on the cherry-colored scabbard in Hayata's hand, and then the blade was completely sheathed.

Kamui Iai!

"Hah!"

Hayata slid forward and took a big step forward, turned around and jumped, and the flying dragon sword [Sakura] slashed at the sharp corner at the tip of the old mountain dragon's nose.

Gordon, who had accumulated a little more time for the move, also completed the preparation for the real power slash at this time, and the epitaph sword followed closely and slashed down.

"Roar--!"

I don't know if it was because the horn that was disproportionate to its huge body was particularly sensitive, but the old mountain dragon's reaction was unexpectedly violent.

It shook its head vigorously.

Gordon and Hayata, who had completed the attack, seized the opportunity, jumped up and landed on the city wall.

After rolling on the ground and removing the excess impact, Gordon looked back.

The old mountain dragon was like a heavy punch on the nose, staggering, and was about to fall towards the city wall.

After a whole night of fierce fighting, this city wall, which was repaired in a hurry, was no longer strong. No one knew whether it could still withstand the pressure of the old mountain dragon.

At this moment, with a light "bang", the dragon-striking spear on the edge of the city wall started the mechanism and bounced up.

This was the signal that the loading was completed.

The president's eyes and hands were quick. She didn't have time to take the iron hammer for firing. She rushed over directly, swung the heavy crossbow and smashed it down heavily.

The high-speed rotating dragon-striking spear, amid the noise of countless sparks and mechanical friction, stabbed out, and pushed the old mountain dragon backwards in the splash of blood and flesh.

On the city wall, everyone cheered.

President Vanti's expression was a little strange. After exchanging a glance with Isabella, the two ran to the parapet and looked down.

Only one dragon-striking spear was fired, what about the other one?

"Hiss--Zi!"

The dragon-striking spear that failed to fire was still stuck inside the city wall. A large amount of high-pressure steam that had nowhere to vent was gushing out from the gap between the edges of the dragon-striking spear.

Inside the city wall, there were faint vibrations and rumbling sounds.

The president's expression became extremely ugly. She shouted hoarsely: "Everyone, find something to hold on to, and prepare for impact!"

Just a few seconds after she issued the reminder, a muffled "boom" exploded inside the city wall.

The entire city wall trembled violently, and more and more cracks spread on the wall, and some parts even began to collapse.

If the craftsmen had not used a lot of steel bars to strengthen the structure when repairing the city wall, the situation might have been worse.

The boiler room hidden deep inside the wall exploded, and hot steam flowed out through the cracks on the wall, and screams of pain from people burned by steam rang out one after another.

Even the platform on the top of the wall began to tilt, and the non-fixed heavy artillery rolled down the wall along the slope.

It was a mess.

At this time, the only good news was probably the state of the old mountain dragon.

The old mountain dragon, which was knocked over by the only remaining dragon-striking spear, could not get up for a while and could not immediately launch a new round of offensive against the wall.

Otherwise, with its size and strength, it would probably take less than a few minutes to dismantle this nearly half-destroyed wall.

President Fan Ti held the parapet wall with eight fingers, and her sharp nails even dug into the cracks of the bricks.

She didn't want to give up just like that.

The construction of the new fort has not been completed yet. If this wall is breached, the only way to force the old mountain dragon to slow down on the mountain road without any fortifications is to rely on the flesh and blood of the hunters.

"Organize a retreat."

A hand was placed on her shoulder, and Isabella, the deputy commander, said in a deep voice: "This city wall can no longer stop it. If we continue to hold on, it will only increase casualties."

Fanti knew that what Isabella said was true, and it was meaningless to continue hesitating.

She looked at a hunter behind her and squeezed out a sentence from between her teeth, "Send a signal, retreat."

The hunter nodded and blew the horn with all his strength.

On the city wall, when the unwilling hunters began to retreat, a small figure climbed up the city wall. It was Pork Chop who had finally climbed up along the zipline.

It landed on all fours and ran wildly to the president, "President meow! The city wall is about to fall, meow, but the city wall is leaning forward, meow!"

President Fan Ti, who was planning in his mind to personally lead a team of hunters to pursue Lao Shanlong after the city wall collapsed, frowned, "What do you mean?"

Pig Chop waved his little paw, "Rather than letting Laoshanlong destroy the city wall in vain, meow, why don't we take the initiative to blow up the city wall, meow!"

"Blow up?!"

"Blow it up, Meow!" Zhupa carried the last piece of dragon-killing carbon carried on his back to him, "You can use it to detonate the remaining gunpowder in the ammunition depot, Meow!"

Next to me, Isabella couldn't help but take a step forward, "You mean, use the blown-up city wall to crush Lao Shanlong to death?!"

"It's meow! If the time is right, it's possible!" Zhupa raised the high-density dragon-killing carbon, "Although I'm not very sure about it, I think I can give it a try, meow!"

Just as Isabella was about to tell Fan Ti that she thought this plan was worth a try, President Fan Ti had already picked up the pork chop, rushed to the edge of the city wall, grabbed the zipline with one hand, and jumped off.

"I'll take it to the ammunition depot!"

"Meow--"

Fan Ti's rappelling speed was frighteningly fast, and she almost started to slow down when she was about to approach the ground.

The pork chop she was holding in her hand was forced to experience the thrill of free falling directly from the forty-meter-high city wall.

After landing, Madam President did not put down the pork chop, but ran directly to the passage leading to the underground ammunition depot.

After receiving the order to retreat, the hunters who were running out of the passage saw the Madam President in a hurry and stepped aside to give way. Some asked if they needed help.

Fan Ti had no time to answer them and ran at full speed.

After twisting and turning, we arrived at the entrance of the ammunition depot built underground. There were also cracks on the wall here. Obviously, the foundation of the city wall was no longer reliable.

Fan Ti couldn't tell whether this was bad news or good news.

"This is it!"

The president lady who came to a thick metal door dropped the pork chop and pushed the door. Without pushing, she frowned, took a step back, and kicked forward hard.

"Bang!"

The metal door made a loud noise, and even gravel fell from the ceiling, but the door still failed to be kicked open.

"Wall, the wall is skewed and stuck, meow!" Pointing at the cracks in the wall, Pig Chop screamed.

"Back off."

President Fan Ti reminded him, and then he unfolded his heavy crossbow in the eyes of Zhupa who saw a ghost.

"This is the ammunition depot, meow!" Zhupa exclaimed, and almost rushed up, hugged Fanti's legs and begged her to calm down.

President Fan Ti didn't seem to hear it at all. After putting a loose magazine in the Zhai Crab cannon, he fired a burst of fire at the wall at the edge of the iron gate.

Debris splattered.

After emptying a magazine, Fan Ti kicked him again, and this time he finally succeeded in kicking open the door of the ammunition depot.

She picked up the pork chop with its neck hunched over its head again, and one person and one cat entered the ammunition depot.

The president’s lady pointed to the rows of powder barrels, her meaning was very clear.

Pig Chop didn't have time to worry about how to open the door. After placing the package of high-density dragon-killing carbon on the pile of gunpowder barrels, it began to connect the leads.

"It's set up meow!"

"ignition!"

"We have to run faster meow"

"hurry up!"
