Monster Hunt: Notes From a Hunter

Chapter 871 Gathering at Battle Street

The third day after the combat meeting.

East Doruma has been evacuated. Whether it is the residential area, the prosperous trade street, or even the famous East Doruma Port on the mainland, it is silent.

Walking on the deserted street, an empty bamboo basket was blown by the wind and rolled past the hunters. Feng Ying stepped on it and muttered, "It has become a ghost town."

An Xier glanced at her, "This means that the evacuation is complete, which is a good thing."

"The guild suddenly ordered us hunters to gather in the battle street. There must be news." Gordon turned his head and waved, urging, "Let's go faster."

"Huh?! Is the giant halberd dragon here? It's so sudden!" Feng Ying subconsciously wanted to check the items in the prop bag.

Hayata knew that Feng Ying had no experience in large-scale defense operations, so she explained: "No, if the giant halberd dragon attacks, we will not send people to notify the assembly, but directly sound the alarm.

If we assemble, it should be to confirm the whereabouts of the giant halberd dragon, so let us enter the battle street in advance to prepare for the battle."

"So that's it." Feng Ying kicked the bamboo basket away, "Then why are we in such a hurry?"

Gordon bared his teeth at her, "It's convenient to grab a better quality tent."

"That's the reason."

Passing through the residential area and the trade area at the foot of the mountain, Gordon and his team entered the battle street.

The so-called battle street is actually a particularly large-scale urn city, covering an area of ​​tens of thousands of square meters.

The wall structure here is very special. It is not a vertical wall, but a stepped one.

Each layer is nearly 20 meters high, and the total height of the three layers is more than 50 meters. Even a super-giant ancient dragon like Laoshan Dragon cannot climb out of the urn city.

A large number of artillery and heavy crossbows are installed on these layered walls, and hunters can launch three-dimensional attacks on attackers from all directions.

The dragon-killing cannon, which is called "the decisive weapon for ancient dragons" by the master, is installed on the highest layer of the wall.

The construction cost of this stepped wall is several times that of ordinary walls, and it is precisely because of this indestructible battle street that Dongduoluma can stand firm in countless attacks by ancient dragons.

The outer wall is the only exception.

This wall that separates the battle street from the outside of the city is a traditional vertical structure. Although it is also strong at the level of a fortress, ordinary monsters cannot break it at all, but it is slightly weak in the face of the ancient dragon's attack.

It was this wall that the Rusted Steel Dragon defeated.

If land monsters such as the Old Mountain Dragon do not push down this wall, they are not even "qualified" to enter the battle street.

It is said that this design also has a deep meaning. After all, the purpose of Dongduoluma to build a battle street is to repel monsters, not to close the door and hunt ancient dragons.

A trapped beast with no way out is the most dangerous.

If the attacker is afraid, he can turn around and leave at any time.

Those who know the history of East Doruma know that this outer wall has been rebuilt at least eight times.

Gordon looked at the outer wall that had just been rebuilt with the efforts of the craftsmen working overtime, and couldn't help but murmur in his heart.

If the giant halberd dragon attacks, this wall will most likely not be saved. They are really hard-working.

"Brother Gordon! This way!"

Hearing someone calling him, Gordon turned his head and saw Aiden, a new writer, trotting all the way to them.

"The temporary camp is over there, and almost everyone has arrived!"

They followed Aiden to the so-called temporary camp, which was slightly better than Gordon imagined. At least it was not open-air, but some rooms built inside the battle street wall.

There were also public storage boxes, which were full of various supplies and could be used freely after the battle began.

Gordon glanced at the room and no longer paid attention.

The previous talk about snatching tents was just a joke with Feng Ying. It would only be a few days anyway, so he didn't care about the living environment, as long as it was enough to lie down.

Except for An Xier who unloaded a lot of ammunition boxes from Lie Feng, the others didn't have much luggage to put, so Gordon asked Aiden to take them to the place where the hunters gathered.

The guild notified them to come and gather, and there should be a collective meeting or announcement.

As he expected, there were already more than 30 hunters gathered on the wall where the dragon-killing cannon was set up, and the number was still increasing.

Gordon noticed that the master and Julius were also there, so he walked through the crowd and walked towards them.

"Ahem, here we are." The master smiled and nodded to Gordon and the others, "The investigation team sent by the guild has confirmed the location of the giant halberd dragon and arranged hunting cats to take turns to monitor it.

The scholars of the Ancient Dragon Observatory judged that the next attack would happen soon."

Gordon nodded. He was not surprised by this result, otherwise why would they gather?

"Master, are you in charge of commanding this defense battle?"

"Not really, cough cough cough."

Perhaps because he has been busy recently, the former legendary hunter is not in good health.

He hunched his back and coughed for a long time before continuing: "I can only tell you the general process, cough cough, the real on-the-spot judgment still depends on you."

"You are really, you are so strong and still run out, and you still think you are the nine-star hunter who challenged the ancient dragon alone?

Don't you have two great disciples? Are you still worried about leaving it to them?" Hilda frowned and walked closer.

Her words were a bit harsh, but the master still smiled, "As expected of someone who has been an instructor for so many years, cough cough cough, so strict."

Hilda gritted her teeth.

They were from the same generation. As her senior, Cambe had always been like this since he was young, and he always smiled when he scolded him.

After teasing Hilda, the master's expression became more serious, "Ahem. It just so happens that your three teams have arrived. Let me talk to you first.

You also know that against an opponent like the giant halberd dragon, the more hunters the better.

After discussion, the guild decided that your three teams of top hunters would be the main force to stop the giant halberd dragon.

That is, the Silver Edge Hunting Group, the Pen Head Hunting Group, and the 'Training Camp Hunting Group'."

Hilda rolled her eyes, as if she was dissatisfied with the strange name of the "Training Camp Hunting Group", but from a certain perspective, this team name was quite appropriate.

In addition to her, there are three other people in this team, namely, six-star light crossbowman Gale, six-star hunting whistle user Fedi, and eight-star gunner Altman.

Gale and Fedi are both excellent hunters who came out of the East Doruma Hunter Training Camp. Altman, like Hilda, is an instructor of the Hunter Training Camp.

Unlike fixed hunting groups such as Silver Edge and Pen Head, temporary teams often have hidden dangers, such as differences in action and disputes over command.

The training camp team obviously does not have such troubles.

Needless to say, the hunting whistle user Fedi, who is a gentle and family-oriented man, is like a frightened bird in front of the two old instructors.

Dare not disobey.

Under the call of their respective captains, three teams, eleven upper-level hunters, plus a sunny and cheerful big boy who sneaked in, gathered around Master Cambe.

Feng Ying smiled very happily.

Great! Finally, it’s not the one who sneaked in!

However, as she was laughing, her expression froze, and a stern gaze with a sense of scrutiny swept over her.

Feng Ying swallowed her saliva and secretly looked back in the direction of that gaze.

Oh my god! Who is this gunner next to Aunt Hilda? How come he is taller than Master Gordon? !
