Chapter 858 The Queen's New City

Gordon and the others were not blind, so they naturally noticed that Mantis had stepped up its attacks on the city wall.

This seems to be some kind of venting behavior when the hunter is not encountered, but with the intelligence of Ge Mantis, it is obvious that he will not engage in such a meaningless behavior.

What is it going to do? Break through the city wall and enter the city?

No matter what the real purpose is, stop it anyway!

"Intensify the attack!" Gordon yelled.

Ancier changed his attack method and used continuous fire suppression to restrict Ge Mantis's movements.

Gordon charged in a straight line regardless, launching a desperate attack on the Mantis's relatively fragile head and thorax.

This method of attack is too risky. If you are not careful, you will be chopped into pieces by the blade arm. He would never do this when hunting alone, but now, he has companions to cover him.

Ancil's crossbow bullets repeatedly hit the sheath-like joints of the Mantis's arthropods. Although it could not directly penetrate the joints, the movements of the Mantis would be affected from time to time under frequent shooting.

Hayata's covering method is more direct.

In the state of courage, the air blade was highly concentrated, and her control of the limbs was also precise. She clearly felt that her sword skills had improved a lot.

She began to frequently use her favorite move - the defensive counterattack of Gangqi Blade Slash. (gp)

Silk thread attack, slashing, blade arm attack, deflection, and swung dragon gun. This deflection is a bit unrealistic, but if you are prepared in advance, you can also deflect it slightly to change the direction of the attack.

She even somewhat enjoyed this process of seeing and telling each other, and when Mantis was about to attack Gordon, she would take the initiative to cut in and stop the attack.

This made Gordon's attack plan much smoother.

Able to control the mechanical behemoth with silk threads, Mantis is very good at multi-tasking, but being able to react doesn't mean it can handle it.

There was no better way, so it could only resist Ancier's shooting interference, rush left and right under the joint suppression of the two swordsmen, and continue to control the dragon gun to bombard the city wall.

This made Gordon increasingly uneasy.

If Pavilion Mantis had used the dragon gun as a defense, its situation would undoubtedly have been much better. However, it endured being slashed by the sword and had green blood all over its body, but it still insisted on attacking the city wall with the dragon gun.

Could it be that after the city wall collapsed, it could immediately turn around?

Comeback and so on? !

Gordon turned his head sharply to look at the crumbling city wall.

There are crossbow cannons on the city walls, reinforced steel beams, dragon guns, and supporting power mechanisms in the walls.

"It's going to knock down the city wall and build a ruined city with ruins!" Gordon yelled, but there was no better way to stop it.

"boom!"

There was another explosion-like roar, and the dragon-shooting gun controlled by Ge Mantis blasted through the steel city gate. It continued to swing the silk thread and pulled hard.

Half of the metal city gate was forcefully pulled out of the city gate hole.

"Chi--!" The mantis chirped like a cheer.

More golden threads shot out and wrapped around the city gate.

Under the complex operation of its jointed limbs and blade arms, the heavy steel city gate seemed to be given life, flying to its side like a huge shield, protecting half of its body.

Seal the hunters' offensive line tightly.

They tried to go around, but under the control of Ge Mantis, this five-six-meter-high shield was far more flexible than they imagined, and they couldn't even see the opponent's movements.

With the "armor" in hand, Ge Mantis simply stopped attacking the hunters. While protecting itself with this giant shield, he controlled the dragon-shooting gun and bombarded the city wall with all his strength.

"Hold it! I'll find a way!" Anhir yelled.

He folded and put away the hot heavy crossbow, blew a whistle, and called back the strong wind that was jumping around the mantis but couldn't find a place to bite.

"Go up to the city wall!" Anhir shouted as he turned over and jumped onto the saddle.

"Woof!"

The strong wind's limbs, which were too thick to look like a dog, exploded with force, carrying Ansir and transformed into a white shadow, rushing towards the city wall.

When it was still several meters away from the city wall, it jumped up suddenly, dug its sharp claws into the gaps in the masonry of the city wall, and rushed upward.

This scene made the hunters on the city wall stunned.

Although the walls of the city wall were not completely vertical for stability during construction, was it really at an angle that allowed people to run up? !

"Everyone retreat immediately! The city wall is about to collapse, and you can't do anything here! Go to the city to help with the rescue!" Ancier shouted at the low-star hunters who were arranged to stay and garrison.

This is a bit direct, but it is also true.

The Pavilion Mantis was not a particularly large monster. Several high-ranking hunters on the silver side struggled fiercely with it. The hunters who controlled heavy crossbows and artillery were afraid of accidental injury and did not dare to fire.

Faced with Ancier's retreat order, the hunters hesitated.

"Why are you still standing there, why don't you leave quickly!"

Perhaps it was because of Ancil's status as a high-ranking hunter, or perhaps because his orders seemed too confident, but the hunters finally chose to obey and evacuate quickly.

"boom!"

There was another roar and trembling, and the cracks had spread to the top of the city wall. Perhaps it would not be long before this wall, which was far from meeting the standards of a fortress, would collapse.

Anhir didn't care about this and quickly came to the activation mechanism of the dragon gun.

The accumulation of steam has been completed long ago. This dragon-striking spear was originally reserved for the mysterious ancient dragon, but now it is obviously impatient.

I just hope that the steam-powered mechanism in the wall is not too seriously damaged and can still be started.

"Gordon!"

Holding the trigger hammer, Anshil, who was ready to start, shouted at the bottom of the city wall.

Gordon glanced at the city wall and realized what Anshil was going to do. He began to try to induce the movement of the mantis, and Hayata also cooperated through guerrilla-style attacks.

The position of the mantis was getting closer and closer to the only dragon-striking spear in the center of the city wall.

Now!

Anshil smashed the starting device hard.

Can't wait to see the result, jump on the back of Liefeng and let it hold on to the city wall.

A rumbling mechanical roar came from the inside of the city wall.

Fortunately, the dragon-striking spear can still start normally, but with the vibration and operation of the machinery, the cracked city wall became more shaky.

After a short delay of two or three seconds, the dragon-striking spear driven by steam rotated at high speed and stabbed out with a bang.

This was a powerful blow that could pierce through the mantis.

However, the mantis seemed to have been prepared, ignoring the hunters' entanglement and flexibly jumping back to dodge.

The dragon-striking spear that Ansel had high hopes for stabbed in the air, and the internal connecting parts also fell off, and the steel-made spear head hung there, not retracted into the wall.

"Ji——"

The mantis made a mocking sound.

Several more strands of insect silk shot out and wrapped around the broken dragon-striking spear. As the silk thread was stretched straight and pulled, the spear head of the dragon-striking spear was also pulled out by the mantis and turned into its new weapon.

Gordon's scalp was a little numb. Other monsters became weaker as they were beaten, but this guy became stronger as he was beaten.

But they didn't have any particularly good way to stop it. They could only watch the mantis swing its tail section, and the two dragon-striking spears turned into afterimages as the silk thread pulled, and smashed into the city wall together.

"Boom!"

The cracks on the wall, which had long been overloaded, continued to expand. The wall that had protected Metabetat for decades finally collapsed completely.

"Jijia--!"

The mantis screamed excitedly, and countless silk threads were thrown out like rain, entangled with the steel beams, bricks, artillery, machinery, and other objects that might be used by it.

The mechanical behemoth, which was completely different from the impression, rose from the ground.

The huge body was covered with sharp thorns composed of machinery and brick fragments.

Under the golden silk thread, the three pairs of legs composed of steel beams, machinery, and large pieces of brick were very conspicuous. On the thickest pair of legs in the middle, the two cold dragon-striking spears were mounted on the left and right, like folded wing claws.

Under the highly recognizable triangular head, a crying face pattern was drawn with golden silk thread.

This is the image of the mysterious ancient dragon.

(In order to avoid confusion for readers who have not played this game, here is a nonsense sentence, Xucheng = mechanical behemoth, just two ways of saying it. In short, it is a Gundam built by Mantis using silk threads to control various things)
