Chapter 151 Intercepting the Battle
As the rail car goes deeper into the mountains, the amplitude of the ground shaking gradually increases.

A large number of rocks fell from the top of the mountain, and the roof of the car was hit with a clanking sound.

After two hours of thrilling travel, a carload of people finally arrived safely.

At this time, the towering peaks on both sides have blocked most of the sky.

The terrain between the two mountains is spacious and flat, but because there is no sunlight, it is shrouded in a dark fog, making it look extremely depressing.

The female receptionist at the railway track saw a group of hunters visiting.

After a warm welcome with a wave of hands, we started to guide and introduce you while walking.

"I am the receptionist Naya. The expedition to the walled city is aimed at attacking the Laoshan Dragon. The newly established super large field stronghold, the residential area and the ammunition warehouse are all built in the mountain. The combat area consists of three parts: a connecting suspension bridge, an attack channel, and an blocking city wall. composition."

"Hunters who want to camp here must first adapt to the increasing ground shaking as the Laoshan Dragon approaches. During this period, you may experience fear, insomnia and other abnormal conditions. If the impact is serious, you can find the Walled City branch. , cancel the contract."

"In addition, you will find that all the passages here are built along the bottom of the mountain, and I have been leaning towards the mountain. Please be careful to hide!"

goooo~
Hear the rumble of rocks flying above.

Naya turned sideways very skillfully and pressed her back tightly against the mountain.

bang~ bang~
Several boulders fell down.

"This is why we have to march close to the mountain. As Lao Shanlong approaches the expedition city, the situation of the top boulders being shaken off will continue to intensify. The guild recommends that everyone wear a helmet every day even if they are not participating in combat to cover their faces. The best all-round protection. The general's crab helmet worn by the hunter is very standard."

Naya said as she walked.

The content includes that open flames are strictly prohibited in ammunition warehouses.

How to save yourself if a landslide occurs in your living area.

Storage of fire and explosive weapons.

Meal configuration, dining location, etc.

When the introduction was almost complete, Naya led the hunters into a passage opened in the mountain.

After walking for a moment in the dark passage illuminated only by torches on both sides, a guild hall carved out of the mountain appeared in front of everyone.

The hunters drank and chatted around the round table. Except that it was larger than other guild branch halls, there was no obvious difference.

"Formal combat training will start in four days. You can relax in the lobby first. When you want to enter the room to rest, just rely on the contract and collect the key at the counter. The training ground is set up on the top of the mountain, and the facilities are a bit rudimentary. I also want to Lead the next group of hunters here, goodbye everyone!"

After Naya finished speaking, she quickly ran out.

"It feels like a lot of hunters have been recruited for this battle."

Ni Shuang sat down and sighed.

"Perhaps the terrain of the mountain range is no longer suitable to intercept Lao Shanlong."

Li Ming looked at the map and made an inference.

To fight other monsters, you don't need to rely heavily on terrain to establish an advantage.

Laoshanlong is different. If fortifications are not deployed in suitable mountains in advance, the interception operation will have no chance of success.

"What will happen if the interception operation fails?"

Chuying asked curiously.

"If the expedition to the city fails and the guild's follow-up operations are ineffective, then Lao Shanlong will probably have a fight with Ge Mantis after arriving in East Doruma."

Li Ming speculated.

"Will Pavilion Mantis help humans defend the city-state?"

"Well, according to the monster's thinking, it is only guarding its lair, and the huge earthquake when Laoshanlong approaches will not only cause great harm to the city wall construction, but also pose a great threat to the market city it has worked so hard to build."

"If you have such a strong sense of territoriality, why do you share the same city with humans?"

Ni Shuang was puzzled.

"I really can't understand it. If there is a record of fighting with the dragon elder, or the experience of being defeated in battle, it can be understood as a fearful behavior. Maybe he was confused by the large buildings in the city-state."

Li Ming felt that this was the only explanation.

Currently, the only place that has the ability to build additional city walls is East Doruma.

Pavilion Mantis demolished a little bit, and the Hunter Guild built a little bit more.

In a sense, this is also a kind of balance.

If humans just move out, it looks fine in the short term.

But once the entire city-state is used up as consumables, Ge Mantis can only dig up ancient ruins to use as parts for the market city.

The problem is that there are a lot of scary monsters coexisting on this continent.

It is extremely unwise to drag the Xucheng to move long distances.

The team finished their meal and came to the counter to collect their keys.

Then follow the road signs in the mountain passage and arrive at the single-room stone house dug into the mountain.

Stone bed, small oil lamp, storage box, weapon rack.

Apart from that, there is nothing else in the stone house.

"It feels like a coffin."

Thinking of the risk of collapse, Li Ming decided to wear armor even if he was resting.

After laying it down and paying homage, the animal skin mattress was laid.

The stone house became quiet, and the sound of stepping on the ground became clearer.

The only good thing about it is that it doesn't need to be equipped with various types of fog ball detection warnings.

Four days passed quickly.

The 112 hunters who participated in the Laoshanlong attack for the first time gathered at the top of the mountain for special training.

Master the layout of mountain passages, transport and load artillery shells, drive and maintain slide cars, and lay rockfall traps
Various training programs are available.

However, the participants are at least three-star hunters, and their understanding speed is not too slow.

All the members of the ruthless team are four-star hunters, and they also need to practice additional activities such as back-mounted combat and placement of dragon bombs.

The three of them are all very talented. They basically mastered it completely within four days and ended the special training ahead of schedule.

In the evening, the receptionist at the guild hall received the latest information back from the front.

Update the information on the display board immediately.

I saw the information that Laoshanlong would arrive at the expedition city in four days.

The hunters who were recruited were looking forward to it, but also a little afraid.

The resident hunter's reaction was much more muted.

Not to mention fighting against Lao Shanlong, they also participated in the relocation of the city wall several times.

Whenever someone asks for advice, they usually only tell first-time hunters two things to keep in mind.

First, don't fall to the ground.

The second is to do everything possible to comply with Article [-].

After Li Ming understood the threat that Lao Shanlong could bring, he agreed very much.

There is no clear "enemy" in the eyes of Laoshan Long, and it will not attack a single hunter.

The only thing that can be regarded as an attack target is the city wall that blocks its progress.

But even so, the violent shocks caused when traveling are still too much for most hunters to deal with.

Once a hunter falls to the ground on his back, if he cannot get up immediately, it will be difficult to get up again.

Without obstruction, the hunter cannot stop its progress.

With the only chance of survival, it can only hope not to be trampled by the falling paws or scratched by the tail.

After Li Ming had dinner, he bid farewell to the other members of the team and walked up the stone steps to the stone house.

bang~ bang~
With a dull rumble, the fireworks from the torches on the rock wall began to tremble regularly.

"Ugh going crazy."

Li Ming took off his helmet and rubbed his eyes with thick dark circles.

The insomnia Naya mentioned during her introduction appeared in him.

He stood on the stone bed, picked up the sleep sprayer and sprayed his face several times.

After lying down, I tossed and turned. Although I was very sleepy, I just couldn't fall asleep peacefully.

Is it caused by the approaching Laoshanlong?
I’m not that scared either. This time it’s a large-scale joint hunting.Lao Shanlong's threat will not be directed at me alone.

And if the old man suddenly dies suddenly, I might just sit down and take off.

Even if the battle unfortunately fails, no one will come to criticize me.

But why am I so uneasy? What am I worried about?

At this time, there was a conversation outside the door.

"If we arrive in four days, it's two full days earlier than expected. Could it be that the observation information is wrong?"

"This kind of information will definitely not be wrong, and the intensity of the shock will not be deceptive. Maybe it is taking a shortcut. Anyway, as long as there are no mountains blocking it, it can take any path it wants."

"Could it be that Lao Shanlong is traveling faster?"

"Listening to the frequency of pedal shock, it seems to be a little bit."

Their voices faded away, as if they were just passing by the door.

Li Ming found that after hearing someone talking, his restless mentality suddenly calmed down.

I understand, it must be the impact of the closed stone house and the shock, so I just need to divert my attention.

Li Ming found the reason and woke up Midoduo.

One person and one cat started chatting.

When he was sleepy, Mido sang to help him sleep, and Li Ming fell asleep peacefully.

Four days later, early in the morning.

The back-mounting operation, which the ruthless team is mainly involved in, will probably start a day later when Lao Shanlong marches to the middle of the mountain range.

So I was sent to the mobilization entrance to support the artillery attack operation.

Twelve artillery carriages were already in place on the slide passages on both sides of the mountain.

A large number of spherical artillery ammunition are tied and fixed with ropes and stacked against the rock wall.

Bang!Bang!
After each shock, a plume of dust will fall from above simultaneously.

The team that was repairing the slide car was already covered in dust before they officially participated in the battle.

Boom!Boom!Boom!
Get ready for the gong to ring!
"Keep the rails open! Don't go near the edge of the road! Don't cause explosive explosions!"

After the instructor shouted, he started the slide car at the top of the queue and moved forward.

Clang!

A huge boulder fell and hit the railroad track ahead.

The hunters in the car acted together with the engineering troops to crush the boulders and remove them.

The distance between the rail-mounted artillery vehicles that resumed traffic gradually widened, forming the planned artillery bombardment array.

When Laoshanlong enters the passage between the two mountains, the rail car will follow it while shooting.

The most ideal situation is that each gun carriage can follow and fire until it reaches the wooden wall.

But based on past experience, one would be very lucky if one-third of the artillery trucks arrived successfully.

The rail car used by the team is located in the middle left.

Ni Shuang drove, Chu Ying opened fire, and Li Ming and the two cats were responsible for loading and transporting ammunition.

If they find a huge rock falling, they will help to defend it.

As for smaller stones, they will be directly crushed by the electric explosion field.

After the artillery array was fully deployed, everyone's attention was focused on the entrance to the mountain.

Boom!

The wooden horse-repelling fence turned into pieces and scattered.

A dark red horn came into view.

Then a huge dark red dragon head poked in.

The canines on the mouth of the dragon head are convex and staggered, and several sharp horns on the forehead are stacked backwards.

Boom!Boom!Boom!
"Head! Fire!"

The gong sounded and the instructor shouted instructions.

Bang!Bang!Bang!
All rail gun trucks opened fire.

The black spherical cannonball fell in a curve.

Fire emerged and smoke rose.

Laoshanlong's dragon head swayed slightly and passed through the black smoke without any hindrance.

The neck covered with thick carapace poked in, followed by two giant pillar-like front paws.

Bang!Bang!
Heavy shocks and rumbles began to reverberate through the mountains.

Before one sound fell, another one came up.

After the second round of loading was completed, the sound of artillery fire sounded.

Lao Shanlong still went his own way, completely ignoring the bombardment and continuing deep into the mountains.

After multiple rounds of shooting, the back and tail all entered.

The rail gun carriage array began to gradually move forward.

During the special training, the instructor warned everyone that because the Laoshanosaurus carapace was too thick, they should focus on bombarding them.

Only in this way can the subsequent deployment of the crossbow turret find the weak point and crush it, causing a penetrating wound to irritate Lao Shanlong.

However, in practice, the ruthless team found that this request was indeed a bit too idealistic.

It has to endure huge earthquakes almost every two seconds, and is constantly hit by boulders falling from the sky, not to mention that the artillery truck itself has to move forward.

It's hard enough to load and fire a gun correctly.

"Uh~~~ don't be shocked!"

Chuying, who spoke with a vibrato, could only take advantage of the gap between Laoshanlong's claws to take aim and shoot.

Clang!

A gun carriage on the opposite side was directly knocked over by a huge falling rock.

The four people who worked together were all equipped with flying insects or flying claws and escaped from the car immediately.

As for the slide car that fell to the ground, it was stepped on by Laoshanlong's front paws and disappeared like magic.

When he lifted his claws again, the sports car had been crushed into pieces and was evenly embedded in the soil.

No wonder only five-star hunters can participate in ground combat.
Li Ming was very sad when he saw this.

After the head-on battle lasted for three hours, half of the artillery carriages were destroyed midway.

The railway track passage on the right suffered a large-scale collapse, making it impossible for the artillery carriage to follow, and the initial engagement operation was terminated.

The team came to the mountain pass and took turns to rest.

Even though everyone was covered in dust and smoke, no one tried to clean it up.

Because the dust scattered by the shock here is no less than outside.

Li Ming released several lightning bugs to illuminate, raised his water bag and took a gulp of water.

"Is this a battle to intercept Laoshanlong? It feels like I'm carrying cannonballs all the time."

Midoduo leaned against the rock wall and felt very tired from the constant transport of shells.

"From a safety perspective, carrying artillery shells is already a good job."

Li Ming sighed.

"It seems that when fighting on the back, everyone must be more careful, otherwise if they fall off the back,"

Chuying recalled the crushed artillery carriage and couldn't help but become worried.

"Three brothers, it will be up to you when the time comes."

Li Ming patted the three Chen spiders stacked beside him.

Although the three members of the team all have flying insects, it is always right to set up an extra insurance policy.
