"But there are too many top-notch combat forces to fight against the Steel Dragon, and in terms of our level of understanding, I believe we are even better."
Dius gave the reason.
“What does it mean to be better?”
Eudora was puzzled.
"The Chief Hunter Team just recently tracked the Steel Dragon, right?"
Dius asked.
"This is correct."
"The top team has been tracking Steel Dragon for two years. Many intelligence details that have not been disclosed by the guild are in our hands. For example, does the team know what attribute Steel Dragon is weak at?"
Dius asked.
"I know this, it's a cat with a thunder attribute!"
Dilu answered quickly.
Dius immediately looked stunned.
If you want to detect the type of attributes that can effectively target monsters, you need to analyze the scale carapace samples.
In this way, tracking and collecting has become inevitable, but there is currently no report of the team tracking the Steel Dragon.
"I see, the team learned about it when they encountered the Steel Dragon by chance in the ancient city of Dragon Palace, so how to break the Steel Dragon's protective wind armor?"
"It's poisoned, meow! Once the steel dragon is poisoned, the protective wind armor can no longer be maintained."
Dilu answered again.
"The reason for attacking human city-states."
Dius looked at Dilu and lowered his voice to test.
"Of course it's for shedding, meow!"
As soon as Di Lu said these words, the three people in the top team looked a little strange.
They originally wanted to use their profound intelligence accumulation to make the chief hunter team retreat in the face of difficulties.
As a result, looking at it now, the other party knows just as much as he does.
"Let's talk it over and let Di Lu serve tea."
At Li Fan's suggestion, the three top team members had no choice but to sit down.
"The top team also has a battle to poison the steel dragon, right?"
Dius raised the tea cup and was about to drink it. When he heard Li Fan ask, he put the tea cup back on the table in frustration.
"Yes."
"The goal of the battle will definitely not be satisfied with repelling, but killing, right?"
"Um."
"But the Steel Dragon now may be very different from when you were tracking it."
"What's the meaning?"
"Although the Gulong Institute has not conducted in-depth research on this concept, I generally call it mutation."
Li Fan explained.
"Is it similar to a monster becoming ferocious?"
Dius asked.
"It's not clear yet, but this is a conscious choice made by Steel Dragon, and it is not imposed on it by the ecological environment, so I speculate that there should be a stronger improvement."
After Li Fan finished speaking, the three members of the top team all looked solemn.
"The top team must be very experienced in fighting monsters in the battle street, right?"
Li Fan asked a question.
"Yes, we have grown up here since we were young. We have witnessed the attack of Yanwangsaurus and participated in the battle with Styracosaurus."
Dius said with certainty.
"Since everyone has the same purpose and are afraid of constraining each other during the battle, it is better to divide the battlefield into two areas. The top team will be responsible for fighting in the battle street in the city. Once outside the city, we will be responsible."
Li Fan expressed his thoughts.
"Wait a minute, does it mean that since Steel Dragon has moved the area, the other team will have to be on standby?"
Dius felt that such a deployment was unreasonable.
It’s not like we just let it go just because we’re afraid of holding each other back.
"There are also Pavilion Mantis and Laoshan Long to guard against. We can't really let the president face them alone."
Li Fan talked about the key to deployment.
Dius immediately fell into deep thought.
Judging from the team's goal alone, it is of course aimed at the Steel Dragon.
But from an overall perspective, protecting Dongdoruma from invasion is the first priority.
"If the Steel Dragon escapes outside the city, are the chief hunter team confident that they can kill it?"
Dius asked seriously.
"No, I am only sure that I will never lose."
Li Fan said frankly.
Even if it were the Steel Dragon before it mutated, no one could guarantee that it would be killed.
Dius exchanged views with team members Hoover and Semika.
In the end, he agreed with Li Fan's proposal. As for the subsequent support tendency, the other party took the initiative to assist the president who faced Lao Shanlong alone.
Out of concern for Huihui, Li Fan felt that this choice was just what he wanted.
As for Zuda, they will definitely support this kind of tactical deployment that takes the overall situation into consideration. They can just declare it tomorrow.
After everything was finalized, Li Fan wanted to take the opportunity to investigate the legendary hunter.
"Dius, I have a question."
"Please say."
"What kind of person is that legendary hunter in the eyes of the top team?"
"Well, he is the smartest hunter I have ever seen. Not only does he know things like a god, but he can also make people feel enlightened by his casual insights."
Dius praised.
"Perception specifically refers to."
"Can not remember."
Dius smiled awkwardly, covering his forehead and said.
"All right."
"I remembered that he seems to be obsessed with the research related to fortune. For this reason, after he won the battle with the Celestial Dragon in the Forbidden Land, the great monk of Sinard Village gave him a protective stone refined with the alchemy of fortune.
As a reward."
"Isn't that protective stone very precious?"
Li Fan speculated.
"Yes, it is said that the Tianyun Alchemy can only be used when the Tianyu Dragon appears in the restricted area, and it also requires smelting many top-level protective stones at the same time."
Dius confirmed.
"I came here to study fortune. It's such a strange tendency. If I'm not wrong, you don't know where the legendary hunter is."
After a long period of investigation, Li Fan was too lazy to ask this question.
"Yes, the feeling disappeared very suddenly, and then the Hunter Brigade was disbanded. The receptionist Sophia could not accept this fact, so she did many investigations that went beyond the scope of her duties, and was finally fired from the guild."
Dius sighed.
"What kind of investigation is this?"
"Master! I've been looking for you in the guild for a long time, but I didn't expect you to be here."
Aiden walked quickly down the stairs.
"When can you be more stable? Let me introduce you, this is my apprentice Aiden."
Dius sighed and made introductions.
"I know these two! They are members of the top hunter team with the dual titles of Chief Hunter and Lie Yan. I have heard of your deeds for a long time, oh! This is the six-star hunting cat who has just been certified by the guild, right?"
Aiden said, picking up Dilu.
"Ah, you were recognized, meow. I hate you so much."
Dilu covered her face with her cat paws, a little shy.
"Aiden, put Dilu down quickly. The team's battle plan has changed. We need to rush back to the guild to study it."
Dius informed.
"Okay, master. Goodbye, everyone. I look forward to our future cooperation."
Watching the enthusiastic Aiden leave, the team immediately waved goodbye.
"I didn't think of such a good way to launch an attack by demarcating areas."
Eudora felt that the proposal was wonderful.
The battle street city defense configuration is indeed very powerful, but it does not fit with the team's fighting style at all. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are restraining each other.
The top team is different. Not only can they integrate easily, but it is no problem to lead and direct battles in street battles.
"Actually, there is still a problem that has not been solved."
Li Fan said slightly melancholy.
"besides?"
"If the frontal battle with Pavilion Mantis conflicts with the pursuit of Steel Dragon, we must give up one side."
Li Fan expressed his concerns.
Three monsters may attack at the same time. Of course, the guild's attitude cannot be to kill them, but to repel them as much as possible.
This conflicts with the team's goals.
"If this happens, the main thing is to protect Dongdoruma. This is not only the vital center of the world, but also my hometown. I believe that if my father is still alive, he will support my choice."
Eudora gives a choice.
"Well, then only the motive of the attack remains unclear."
This is what confuses Li Fan the most right now.
Among them, Laoshanlong will visit Dongdoruma every once in a while and try to pass through. Although the motivation is unclear, there is at least a certain pattern.
The steel dragon's is a bit strange. After all, the rust on the carapace is not serious enough to require molting, but it still makes sense.
As for Ge Mantis, Li Fan couldn't see any motive at all.
Even why the other party appears is a mystery.
The guild headquarters and surrounding buildings have entered a round-the-clock state of alert.
On the first day, the dragon leader who was guarding the headquarters took the Eternity to the mountain fortress outside the city where Laoshanlong must pass, and prepared for the attack.
The next day, all passenger rail cars in the city were stopped and entered the modification factory for modification. The original passenger carriages were replaced and large-caliber artillery was installed, turning them into rail gun cars.
On the third day, all the buildings on both sides of Battle Street were requisitioned by the guild, and the city defense facilities entered the debugging stage.
The association calls for earthquake damage prevention measures for buildings.
On the fourth day, the ban on airships rappelling in urban areas was lifted, and countless combat supplies were deployed around Battle Street.
At the same time, 18 shelters in the city were opened, and the East Doruma Airport lifted departure restrictions on all airships.
On the fifth day, except for the fast-moving hunter team, there were no residents on the streets in the city.
The Sky Comet Dragon landed at the deployment site of the Hexing Stone and absorbed a large amount of dragon attribute energy.
Zuda, who was overwhelmed with paperwork and reports on his desk, had not slept for three days.
He originally wanted to confirm the important progress in recent days and then take a short nap late at night.
But just as he was about to extinguish the oil lamp, he suddenly noticed that the flame on the wick was trembling slightly and very regularly.
Zuda came to the window, looked in the direction of the mountain walled city, sighed and said: "President, please stop it."
Five kilometers outside the southern city gate of East Doruma is the station location chosen by the team.
Di Lu looked at the water ripples in the G-level recovery potion bottle on the ground and picked it up to observe out of curiosity.
Since the location of Laoshanlong was reported back from the front, it was informed along the way by shouting and broadcasting from the airship.
The team learned the location earlier than in the city.
"Now that the Laoshan Dragon is approaching, according to the prophecy of the Dragon Worship Cult, the Steel Dragon will come soon."
Eudora said, adding two more firewood to the bonfire in front of her.
"Is your mother okay?"
Li Fan on the other side asked.
Eudora returned home once during the day today, originally to do earthquake damage prevention treatment for her house.
It turned out that her mother had not evacuated, and was even cleaning the yard comfortably. Eudora was quite troubled by this.
"It's not a big problem, it's just that she doesn't listen to advice at all. She doesn't believe that Dongdoruma will be captured by monsters. She believes that hunters can protect the safety of the city. She also complains that the attack of monsters affects her drying of meat."
Eudora said helplessly.
"Could it be because you never felt threatened?"
Li Fan speculated.
"No, I remember when I was a kid, the whole city was trembling when the Laoshan Dragon attacked. The guild headquarters at that time was much higher than it is now. Unfortunately, the southern city wall collapsed before the Laoshan Dragon could touch it. My mother and I hid in the
Holding each other in the shelter, it feels like the whole world may collapse at any time ""
Eudora recalled.
"Where's your dad?"
"He was eating dried meat carelessly beside him. He kept talking about how powerful the city's fire defense deployment was and how powerful the hunter team was. He said that he would be able to easily defeat the Laoshan dragon this time. My mother and I were blind.
worry."
Recalling that scene, the corners of Eudora's mouth couldn't help but curl up.
“What an unforgettable childhood memory.”
"In short, they are all willing to believe in hunters. This is probably the fundamental reason why I yearn to become a hunter."
Eudora stared at the bonfire and said.
Suddenly, Li Fan understood why children like Ultraman.
Through these days of in-depth understanding, Li Fan also understood the threatening nature of Lao Shanlong.
Generally speaking, the opponent will not launch a targeted attack on a single target.
But simply moving will pose a major threat to the buildings surrounding the passing area.
I was still curious before as to why the battles in the game were held in mountain fortresses, but now I have my doubts cleared up.
Because by the time Laoshan Longzhen arrived at the South Gate of East Doruma, at least one-third of the buildings in the city would have collapsed under the shock and turned into ruins.
If they were allowed to enter the city, even if the repulse was successful, the entire East Doruma would have ceased to exist.
That's why we build a line of defense in advance.
As for the advantage of the guild, it is that Laoshanlong's trajectory is very fixed.
City walls can be built in advance and blocked according to the mountainous terrain.
As the firepower layout and city defense system continue to upgrade, the battle to defeat the Laoshan Dragon will gradually become easier.
In the night when the earthquake was gradually increasing, no one in the team could sleep.
Li Fan left the camp and came to the bushes nearby. He naughtily crawled on the ground facing the little fool.
The two dragons stared intently at an oval-shaped giant egg with interlaced red and green markings on its surface.
Naughty wanted to get closer to observe, but the little fool pushed him away with his head.
Li Fan saw this and did not disturb him. After a moment, he sighed helplessly: "The little fool who just laid the eggs is not suitable to attack now, but you are the only one who can inject enough poison into the steel dragon."
He also thought about using other methods to poison the steel dragon, thereby weakening the control of the protective wind armor.
But the problem is that the poison-quenching knives, poison bullets and poison bottles in the game are simply impossible to implement on Steel Dragon.
The reason is that the steel dragon's carapace is so hard that it cannot shed its shell on its own without the help of external force.
Li Fan has also learned about melee slashing weapons.
Not only is the amount of venom also limited, but it is equally difficult to inject it through the steel dragon's carapace.
