Chapter 680: You're Welcome
After rushing out of the camp, the regimental commander and his party found that there were more Shadow Hunters on the ground than they had imagined. Although the supply depot was generally superior in numbers, nearly half of the shipwrights and logisticians who were not able to fight were outnumbered, and the unscrupulous station commanders who protected them and the tents became the biggest drag to retake the camp. Most of the people who could fight were pre-armed, and a limited number of hunters gathered around the tents, struggling to support the siege of two or three times as many poachers, and beware of the occasional arrow from the shadows and the spread of aerial combat.
So, even though the mysterious airship doesn't look like Ryan Yelu's standard, the ground resounded with excited exclamations when a huge flare, symbolizing the Hunters' Guild, rose from the lookout.
"It's a union ship!"
"The union has sent someone to help us!"
The shape of the boat was small, but its combat power should not be underestimated, and the six restrained arrows grabbed the side of the poaching ship without saying anything, and drove the two shadows away from the sky above the supply station. The gloom on the hunters' heads was cleared, but the poachers suddenly lost their umbrellas, and the two sides had their own agendas, and the rhythm of the battle in the camp even stopped for a moment.
The morale boost and the addition of the Manyun group were like two heart-saving elixirs, allowing the balance of the battle to temporarily stabilize and no longer tilt in favor of the poachers. Captain Qin listened attentively and was temporarily relieved, the girl straightened her chest again, and slammed her hammer towards the enemy in front of her.
"Ding ββ!" The attack was brutally blocked by a larger warhammer. The sledgehammer in Redbeard's hand, one side of the hammer head is a half-foot-long chisel nail that shines with cold light, and on the other side is a hideous beast head, the monster's teeth bulge out, and it clearly has a good attack power. On the side of the hunting suit of the female hammer's leg armor, the three silver scratches are their masterpiece, and the hunter's calf is still trembling slightly, with a faint pain with the force under his feet.
"So, I don't know if you're brave or stupid to fight me with half-baked hunting skills......," the poacher said, exerting force with his arms, and the hammer slammed into the huntress's chest without mercy.
Fighting against people is not in the subject of the training camp, Qin Shui is chaotic in his behavior, and he can only dodge in embarrassment with his sense of battle. The twin hammers occasionally exchanged blows, but they also retreated again and again because of the huge difference in strength, and in a moment they were attached to the huge moss-covered ashlar. Feeling the slightest coolness coming from behind, the little head giggled defiantly: "What kind of skill can you do here?" Look up, your ship is going to be finished! β
Being entangled by a child's family for so long was already unexpected by the poacher captain. The corners of his twitching mouth were hidden under the red mustache, and his heart was actually much more irritated than it looked. The girl's mind was far greater than her age, and the other party did not expect to defeat her, but tried to drag the battle in the corner of the camp, separating herself from her subordinates.
There were a few pounds and taels of those fools, and Redbeard knew best. Without their own command, their subordinates can never stabilize the chaos in the camp by slashing and killing indiscriminately. However, whenever she tried to get out of the way, the girl would go crazy and force herself to turn around and concentrate on coping. After repeated times, Redbeard had already held back the karmic fire in his stomach, and his emotions finally reached the brink of outburst at the moment when Bloodfang's airship was in distress.
"What is the order of the commander...... To hell with it! The poacher's arms flared, and the hammer slammed down head-on with the smell of blood and the whirring sound of the wind. Determined not to ignore the ban of the former head of the regiment before getting off the ship, he slaughtered the girl in front of him first, and then packed up the team to regain strength, and Redbeard's attack was even more fierce.
"Ding!" Commander Qin finally had no way to retreat, and his weapon and the poacher's hammer were in one place. The strong man bullied his body, straightened his arms, brutally pressed the weight of most of his body on the handle of the hammer, and gritted his teeth and said, "Give me death!" β
"Hey, if my weapon is still there......" The huntress' arms creaked in an overwhelmed manner, and the head of the beast on the hammer leaned towards her face with its bloody mouth wide open. There was a fierce light in the poacher's eyes, and when the female head of the group let out a breath in her chest, it was the end of Xiang Xiaoyu's death.
"Click-" Above the heads of the two people in the wrestling, a sudden sound of activity sounded. A humanoid shadow fell in the air in an instant, and a heavy weapon in the shape of a giant sword slashed between the two hammer hands with a scorching iron-like fire.
......The heavy sword landed on the poacher's hammer handle, but the sound of the intersection was not loud, but the evaporation of water falling and boiling oil, and a large stream of hot turbid vapor suddenly rose from the place where the blade and the hammer met. Redbeard was struck in the face by the smoke, and his eyes closed suddenly, only to feel that his hand was light, and then he looked at it, and the heavy hammer that had accompanied him for many years was only half of the hammer handle.
"Hell!" The Shadowhunter took a few steps back without thinking, and a cold sweat broke out from his back. The red heavy sword is extremely sharp, and I don't know what kind of mysterious technology it contains, if the same blow is cut on his body, Redbeard feels that he has no chance of being spared in a hunting suit.
The guy who suddenly broke into the battle circle bent his knees, unloading the momentum of the landing, and the scorching light on the heavy sword gradually dissipated, turning back to its original iron gray. It wasn't until the steam around him slowly subsided that Redbeard could see clearly that the mysterious visitor who had just struck a thunderous blow was actually a young man who was about the same age as the huntress. The hunter was dressed in black armor, and the two ornament beads on his helmet were like dragon's eyes, exuding a resemblance of brilliance, and the spine of the greatsword was hooked, and the heat and steam seemed to be generated there.
"Commander, how are you?" Lifting the mask of the helmet, Lu Xiu appeared in front of Qin Shuiyu with an anxious face.
"Luciu?" The little head was stunned for a moment, and then calmed down. The moment the dragonman attacked, the little regiment leader rolled to the side, not affected by the attack of the slashing axe, but was taken aback in every sense, "It's okay...... I'll talk about it when I'm done. The huntress flicked her sore arm a few times, "But you're here at the right time - the big guy over there is the leader, be careful not to let him run away!" β
No matter how much has to be said, the battle at hand is what matters most. The dragonman nodded heavily, and when he opened his eyes again, he had turned crimson: "Commander, go and help the others, I'll leave it to me here." β
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Don't look around, that kid has already descended, it's better to care about him than to care about yourself." The observer's voice came from the earpiece leading to the lookout, "You said you yourself would take care of his ship. β
"Rememberβ" The pilot curtly pulled his gaze back from the porthole, recalibrating the course that had been shaken off by the shelling. The union's boat was like a lump of iron, and even if the poaching boat tried its best to blow the stern tray, it did no real damage. On the contrary, the stern of the two wooden ships slammed together under the traction of the restraint bullet, and the guards at the impact were all peeled off, and the wooden structure in the bulkhead was clearly visible. The pilot watched all this, and muttered to himself towards the two half-crippled poaching boats: "If you raise a white flag like the rest of the fleet, everyone will be much more troubled." β
Seeing that there was nothing to be done, the guys who had ventured to jump ship had been observed on the two airships one after another, but the person in charge of the Blood Fang still had no intention of surrendering. The wooden boat immediately organized manpower to try to get rid of the restraint bullets inserted in the hull. A crossbow spear was cut off by Zigan, but the head of the spear had a grappling hook and barbs, and when it fell off, a large chunkhead was torn off, and the exposed compartment was a mess, and from time to time something was swept out by the air current.
"How can the restraint bullet of the union be so easy to deal with?" The driver chuckled, estimated the distance, put his hand on the lever that controlled the speed of the boat, and pushed the lever that had already been pushed to the bottom again, "It's almost there...... Captain, according to the rules, isn't it time to give these scumbags a signal to be surrendered? β
"What else will you receive?" The adjutant beside him pouted, "You see, their ship has begun to sink. β
Almost at the same time, the air tanks of the two wooden ships dried up at an astonishing rate. The airship, which was already a candle in the wind, lost its last support, and its hull sank, fluttering and falling downward. The wooden boat was falling faster and faster, and in a few breaths it pulled the cable that bound the bullet tightly.
Everyone in the command cabin looked up in unison, only to feel that the bow of the ship was lifted up by a strong force. The battleship in mid-air carried two wooden ships of equal weight, like a clumsy farmer picking up an overly heavy strap, and involuntarily fell backwards.
Knowing that the ship's weapons could not shake the union's ironclad warship, the Shadow Hunter launched a ruthless attack, and actually released the gas in the gas chamber by itself, and dragged the union hunter on the other side of the cable with the weight of his own ship. Looking at this posture, they both crashed with wooden boats, and they also had to pull the union's warship to be buried together.
"Cut the cable, cut the cable! They did it themselves! "It's hard to imagine how ruthless and determined the poachers on the wooden boat must have been to make such a decision to burn in such a short period of time. The driver exclaimed, and a fine layer of goosebumps appeared when his arms landed, "The ship is sinking!" β
"No way!" A categorical voice came from the lookout, "I haven't left the camp yet, and if I let go now, I don't know how many people will be affected!" β
"Hell......" A layer of fine sweat suddenly appeared on the pilot's forehead, and the weight of the airship suddenly increased several times, and he seemed to be able to hear the wailing of the power furnace from the command cabin. The whole command platform tilted over, and the things on the platform crackled and fell towards the deck, and if the imbalance of the airship exceeded the critical point, even the hunter ancestors could not save it.
"Fight!" The young hunter gritted his teeth and flipped a few levers in quick succession. The valve in the bow of the ship was abruptly opened, and a large stream of gas was ejected outward. Losing some of its lift, the bow of the airship sank, temporarily halting its tendency to lean back.
Maintaining equilibrium by deflate is tantamount to quenching thirst by drinking a donkey, and the air chamber is less than a fifth empty, and the battleship is already uncontrollably planted downward. The boat staggered like a drunken old man out of the range of the supply camp, but could not go fast anyway.
"...... in time," the adjutant beside him said anxiously. If you continue like this, you won't be able to completely break away from the camp before you crash headlong into the huge ashlar beneath your feet.
"If it doesn't work, it has to work!" When the time came, the young driver calmed down, and his hands holding the steering wheel no longer trembled. Seeing the airship rushing towards the moss-covered boulder, he roared angrily and slammed the steering wheel to the left, turning off the port side of the auxiliary propeller. The port side of the boat sank, and the whole hull tilted to one side, making a frightening bend in mid-air.
The cable connecting the three ships was arm-thick, but it was still overwhelmed by the huge force, and several strands broke one after another. However, the strong inertia allowed the two wooden boats to be successfully swung sideways, and the swings generally flew away from the camp.
"Cut the cable!"
Without an order, the people in the weapons compartment knew what they had to do. The aft of the ship buzzed, and the five cables were like five silver pit vipers, flung away from the ironclad airship. Without the union's airship as a fulcrum, two small wooden boats rolled in the air, throwing out countless contents of the cabin and screaming poachers. Driven by inertia, the wooden boat drew two almost parallel parabolas, crossed the huge square rock behind the camp, and crashed into the dense forest behind the rock mass.
Finally getting rid of the two heavy burdens behind it, the body of the Union warship was light, and the dive momentum was narrowly stopped, and the air tank returned to its original position like a tumbler, and the bottom of the ship swept across against the top of the boulder, scraping off a thick layer of moss, and slowly climbing up.
The sky-high flames suddenly rose from the other end of the hunting grounds, completely destroying the last of the confidence of the Shadow Hunters in the camp who were still resisting, and the frightened poachers had no intention of fighting anymore, shouting "The ship is destroyed!" He threw out the smoke and flashbangs that were left on his body, and there was a burst of light and shadow in the camp.
I don't know who led the way, but the poachers who could still move forced back from their opponents in front of them, gathered together spontaneously, and fled lifeless in the direction of the camp gate. Although the depths of the Emerald Tower's hunting grounds are treacherous, there is always a much better chance of survival than being sent to trial by the Knights. However, the Shadow Hunter at the front had just stepped out of the camp gate with one foot, only to see a black streamer sink into the dirt in front of the camp, and with a roar, the earth splashed more than two meters high, and the falling earth fell head-on on the poacher's stunned face.
"Lay down your arms!" The voice came from the landing pad next to the battalion, and the sound box on the patrol ship was loud, but the human voice would be distorted into a sharp and sharp birdsong in it, "Whoever dares to move one more step will not be so polite to the next shell!" β
