Chapter 852 Attack From the Sea

"Hahaha! So you two are a couple, great news!"

"Uh, thank you?"

"How is it, Gordon boy, have you met Amos after catching up with Hayata? Over the years, that guy has been bragging about his beloved apprentice!"

"It seems like, haven't met him yet?" Gordon automatically filtered out the second half of the other party's sentence.

"Then go and meet him soon! Remember to observe Amos's expression, write it down, and tell me when the time comes, hahaha!"

"."

Mr. Asa is a bold and talkative person, which fits the stereotype of hunters that ordinary people have.

When they are happy, they always have to say "hahaha" in a few sentences. If the timing is not really bad, he would have dragged Gordon Hayata to the tavern for a few drinks.

Gordon is also a little confused about what this uncle is thinking.

He looked heavy and serious a few hours ago, but he became cheerful and even jumped up when the danger is getting closer?

Probably because he noticed the strange look in Gordon's eyes, Asa's smile was slightly restrained, but there was still a smile on his lips, "It's not a good thing to be too tense before a war."

Hayata, who understood some of the other party's thoughts, sighed helplessly, "Mr. Asa, we are not nervous, we have passed that stage."

"Ah ha ha, that's right." Asa scratched his unshaven chin, "You are not much older than our daughter, I almost forgot that you have been promoted to a higher position.

Just think of it as me being nervous, hahaha."

The two could only laugh dryly in response.

"I may be a little nervous, especially a few hours ago." Asa held the parapet with his hand and looked at the busy people in the afterglow of the sunset.

"Our Metabetat is not on the migration path of the ancient dragons. We have not suffered many attacks from the ancient dragons in all these years since it was built.

That was a monster that broke through two fortresses in a short period of time, and two haha, to be honest, I don't have much confidence."

Gordon turned his head to look at Asa and listened quietly.

"But now, I have calmed down. The president is a decisive person. The evacuation of citizens should be almost done. Those who can't stay in the shelter have also been arranged by the president to board the ship and leave the port for evacuation.

We have made all the preparations we can on the city wall. There is nothing to worry about next. Just fight for your life."

Gordon's expression suddenly froze, his throat tightened, and his breathing felt a little unsmooth.

He turned his head sharply to the east, in the direction of the coastline.

Mr. Asa's words made him realize a possibility that was overlooked.

No, that can no longer be called a possibility, it is simply a high probability event!

"What's wrong?"

Hayata immediately noticed his abnormality, and Asa, who was nagging and sighing, also looked over.

"We are trapped in a misconception of thinking." Gordon's voice was a little hoarse.

"What do you mean?"

Knowing that this was not the time to hesitate, Gordon took a deep breath and said quickly: "Metabetat was built on the coast, facing the sea in the east and the city wall in the west.

The main purpose of building the city wall is to defend against monsters that roam in the western mountains and forests.

But attack and migration are two different things. Why do we believe that the mysterious monster that destroyed the fortress and the mantis will come from the west and rush to the city wall?

Scholars from the Dragon Calendar Institute have previously analyzed that the mysterious monster should be flying over the inland sea to hide its whereabouts.

Then, shouldn't it come from the sea?!"

Hayata's eyes widened, and Asa's face turned pale.

Metabetat has beautiful scenery and abundant seafood. It is a peaceful city that is almost not attacked by monsters. The number of emergency facilities such as shelters in the city is not particularly sufficient.

But there are many ships here, fishing boats, merchant ships, yachts of the rich, and the port is also prosperous.

Organizing some citizens who are difficult to accommodate to board ships and evacuate to the sea should have been a very smart idea.

If the opponent is an old mountain dragon or a crab, the safety of evacuating to the sea is much higher than hiding in the underground shelter in the city.

But if the monster comes from the sea.

Then these citizens who evacuate to the sea are just like packing themselves up and sending themselves to the monster.

"But, but the mantis should hate water, it shouldn't come from the direction of the seaside?" Hayata tried to put forward some optimistic possibilities.

"That would be even worse. The mantis and the mysterious monster are not tied together. If the mysterious monster attacks from the sea in the east, the mantis will appear from the west and attack the city wall.

We will have to organize two fronts, or we will be attacked from both sides." Just imagining that scene, Gordon felt his scalp tingling.

"I'll notify the president!" Mr. Asa grabbed his helmet and ran down the city wall, "You two should think of a solution quickly!"

"What solution can be thought of?" The bad news was concentrated together, and Gordon beat his forehead, as if he could beat out a solution in this way.

"What use can those piled up gunpowder and flammable materials have?" Hayata said anxiously: "The monsters haven't appeared yet, maybe we can still move them to the seaside in time?"

"It's too late." Gordon looked up at the setting sun that was about to completely fall below the horizon, and said impatiently: "It's too late. Gunpowder is not a bag of rice. It can only be moved carefully and can't be moved quickly.

We have to cross the city. If we start moving now, we may not be able to move it before dawn. Moving halfway and then the monster attacks will only cause more trouble.

We can only think of more direct ways"

"What method?! Any method is fine!" The short and stocky President Zhe Luo rushed up the city wall, and his agility was so strong that he didn't look like an old man in his sixties. Asa behind him couldn't catch up with him.

Gordon Hayata looked at him in astonishment.

The old man was wearing a set of Tyrannosaurus armor. The style of the armor was a bit old, and there were obvious signs of repair after damage, but the overall maintenance was pretty good.

Gordon couldn't recognize the sledgehammer on his back. It was silver and seemed to be made of some monster bones. It looked unusual.

"What are you looking at me for?" President Zhe Luo stared, "I just heard you say a more direct method, what is a more direct method?"

Gordon withdrew his attention from President Zhe Luo's weapons and armor.

It's not surprising to think about it.

The presidents of hunter guilds in various places are basically hunters, and most of them are experienced hunters with quite high levels. Otherwise, it would not be so easy to subdue the group of rude and reckless people below.

Putting aside these unimportant things, Gordon sorted out his thoughts and said quickly: "There is no barrier on the seashore, it is impossible to stop the monster there. What about evacuating the citizens who went out to sea?"

"I have sent people to arrange it. Recalling the ships at this time will only cause more chaos. I will let the ships near the coast stay away as much as possible. As long as they are far enough away from Metabetat, they will be safer."

"Yeah." There is nothing wrong with this arrangement. Gordon put this matter behind his mind and continued:

"My idea is to pull the battlefield to the city wall. If that guy really comes from the sea, we have to find a way to attract it to the vicinity of the city wall. Of course, it would be better to let it go outside the city."

Speaking of this, Gordon looked at the captain of the investigation team who followed him, "The Dragon Knowledge Ship should be useful. It should cruise over the sea. If a mysterious monster appears, try to attract it.

I know it is dangerous to do this, but"

"We will try our best." The captain of the investigation team nodded and ran to the ladder hanging from the Dragon Knowledge Ship.

Following President Zhe Luo, the upper-level one-handed swordsman named Dewitt also made a suggestion, "I like trap tactics, and I have some experience in this area.

You can consider using the smell of food to lure it. Isn't it said that the mysterious monster will eat gunpowder?

We can continue to burn gunpowder and sulfur near the place where the gunpowder is hidden, so that it may follow the smell of food."

Gordon nodded immediately, "This is a good idea!"

"Swish--"

At this moment, a flare suddenly rose on the sea in the distance. This may come from a boat near the coast. The red light is particularly conspicuous in the dark night that has already fallen.

On the city wall and the dock, everyone looked in that direction.

Under the gradually fading light of the flare, a terrifying creature that is so huge that it is hard to believe that it can actually fly, waving its huge wings, emerged from the darkness.

The people crowded on the shore and crowded on the boat looked up blankly. They couldn't breathe, and even their heartbeats stopped, as if the whole world had fallen into absolute silence.

"Roar——"

The ray-like breath swept across the crowded dock, and after a brief delay, the flames of the explosion dyed the night sky red.
