Chapter 42 Hunting the Deep Sea Crocodile Dragon Part 2
In the early morning four days later, seventeen small boats, old and new, were calmly gearing up on Opal and the estuary. Each boat had two brass swordfish in front of it as auxiliary power. The small boats passed the bugbears.
With the modification, the hull of the boat is longer and narrower.
Each of the sixteen small boats is equipped with a marine scout and four fully armed hunters or archers. These eighty attendants and vassals account for one-third of Adrian's fighting force.
Strength, and is the elite force among them.
All the special elite troops except bugbears and those following the voyage of the Sun Vine were dispatched. When Adrian looked at his most elite servants and vassals, his face did not show any sign of "strong soldiers, strong horses, and good training" of his armed forces.
Feeling complacent about the "normal", he suddenly wondered, if something unexpected happened during this battle to hunt the deep-sea crocodile dragon, how long would it take for him to regain such a scale and level of combat effectiveness.
Shaking his head, Adrian pushed this terrible speculation out of his mind. It will definitely go well. Well, it will definitely go well. He is the genius lord Adrian who is "attracted by the three supreme gods". Not to mention
The protagonist's aura must be extremely lucky.
"You are my most elite warriors. You are well-trained and well-armed. It is my honor to be your lord, but you must remember that each of you is my most important asset, so I believe you must
If you can complete this sea hunt, go ahead and bring the Deep Sea Crocodile back safely."
"Don't worry, Lord. Your tactics have been carefully considered and discussed by us and the two Green Tower Knights. With the help of a few secret weapons, we will definitely be able to complete the task assigned by you. Well, the worst result
However, we can only bring you the body of the Deep Sea Crocodile Dragon. We will not allow such a thing to happen, and we will let you hold a banquet for us."
Ralph rarely said such absolute words. He was always cautious. This time he saw the solemn look on Adrian's face. As a symbol of faith and spirituality in the territory, Adrian's solemnity would undoubtedly be contagious to others.
Therefore, as the actual commander of this hunt, Ralph must stand up to boost morale at this time. He knows that an overly solemn mood will affect the effectiveness of the servants and vassals, which is not conducive to the subsequent hunt.
Secondly, he was very confident in the tactics proposed by Adrian. With the help of the brass swordfish, the boat was very fast. Even if there was an accident, it could rely on its dexterity to support the other Green Tower Knights riding their giant boats.
When the dragon companions arrive, there will definitely not be a lot of battle damage, Ralph is confident.
Adrian heard what Ralph said and waved his hand: "Let's go, I will be here waiting for all of you to come back intact. Chef Baggins is already preparing for the evening banquet. Ralph, don't let me
Disappointed. Also, please bring all my soldiers back safely and intact."
Adrian's words of "please" surprised Ralph, but after a moment, the surprise turned into a complicated emotion that filled his chest. He saluted Adrian with his hands on his chest.
The other attendants and vassals were also moved by Adrian's words. For them, who could see their own ceilings from birth, there had never been a high-level elf who cared so much about their lives, and there had never been a high-level elf noble who cared so much about their lives.
They are so friendly, and there is even a word like "wealth" to describe them. This may be the sorrow of the lower class. The slightest light spread by the upper class inadvertently can become the glory of their lives.
No one spoke, and no one spoke any heroic words to Adrian. They were all silent at this moment, turning themselves into parts of Adrian's war machine, filled with emotion and honor, and went to tear apart Adrian's body.
Crush all prey and enemies.
With the help of the Brass Swordfish, coupled with the assistance of ocean currents, and under the guidance of the ocean scouts, it only took Ralph and his party three hours to arrive at the sea area near the trench where the deep-sea crocodiles were sleeping.
, Ralph ordered the boat to stop, everyone began to check their weapons and equipment, and then all the attendants and vassals on the small boats made a standby gesture to Ralph's command boat.
Ralph nodded to Bull and Pabu Pabu. Bull jumped into the water and dived into the deep sea with Pabu Pabu. Ralph suddenly became a little anxious. This was not the first time he personally directed a hunt, but
This is my first time hunting in the sea, and this is not a hunting environment that hunters and archers are good at.
Fortunately, Bull and Papbu emerged from the water quickly. Bull said: "The trench is directly below two or three kilometers in front of us. The deep-sea crocodiles are still sleeping and there is no sign of waking up."
Nothing unusual was found, Mr. Ralph."
Ralph nodded and said: "Let's start setting up, remember to be quick, and be sure not to disturb the Deep Sea Crocodile Dragon in advance."
Bull nodded, waved to the other boats, and then took a hollow glass ball from the boat. The glass ball was as big as a basketball. Inside were five magic crystal shells fixed in the center by strings.
, there is also a rope tied outside the glass ball, and a stone the same size as a basketball is tied to the other end of the rope.
This is Orn's masterpiece. Adrian calls it a deep sea bomb. The glass ball is hollow, and its thickness has been tested and calculated. When the stone sinks to a certain depth with the glass ball, the strong seawater pressure will burst it.
The glass ball, and then either the pressure of the seawater or the impact of the glass ball fragments will detonate the magic crystal cannon. The final violent explosion will be enough to wake up the sleeping deep-sea crocodile dragons, and they will rush out of the sea in anger.
Following Bull's actions, all the ocean scouts jumped into the sea, and then each took a glass ball similar to Bull's and swam to the sea ahead with Bull.
Pabu Pabu and several other sea hounds did not follow the ocean scouts. They now serve as the leaders of the Brass Swordfish, leading them to disperse to different sea areas to form hunting formations, and there are also
After the hunt begins, guide the Brass Swordfish into action.
Bull reached the top of the trench, turned around and looked at the other sixteen marine scouts, and found that all his men had dispersed to the predetermined positions, and the small boats behind him had also spread out to form a maritime skirmisher line, so Bull went deep into the trench.
Taking a deep breath, he released his hand holding the deep-sea bomb, and the stone slowly sank to the bottom of the sea with the glass ball. Ten seconds later, six more ocean scouts released the deep-sea bombs in their hands.
After another ten seconds, the last ten marine scouts also released depth charges.
Then Bull and his men quickly swam behind the skirmisher line, boarded the boat, grabbed his harpoon, and stared at the sea in front of him warily.
At this time, the hunters and archers were also ready. They took out five long arrows, held one of them in their hands, inserted the other four on the side of the boat, and then opened a hard arrow on their waists.
He held his leather bag and stared warily at the sea in front of him.
One minute later, an undetectable explosion was heard, and ten seconds later, a faint but dense explosion was heard. Bull jumped into the sea again, and after observing carefully for a while, he put his head out of the sea.
Said to Ralph: "Here we come."
Ralph shouted the order: "Get ready."
So all the archers and hunters put the long arrows in their hands into the hard leather bags on their waists, and seemed to carefully smear something on the arrow clusters. After a second, all the long arrows were aligned.
String the bow.
Ralph also put a long arrow on the bowstring, but unlike the archers and hunters, the archers and hunters aimed at the sea in front of them, while Ralph aimed at the sky, and the arrow in his hand was
A message arrow. At this time, Aragund and Abram are dozens of kilometers away in the sky. They and their dragon companions cannot get too close, otherwise the dragon's natural intimidation to the dragon
, the deep-sea crocodile dragon must not dare to sacrifice the water.
This was Adrian's last resort for this hunt. He bribed his father and Abram with 20 kilograms of tea each, and asked them to move today's patrol route two kilometers toward the open sea.
One hundred kilometers.
Another undetectable explosion sounded, which seemed to be mixed with some kind of roar of pain and anger, "Get ready, everyone is free to fire, the sea hounds pay attention to guiding the brass swordfish..."
Ralph gave the order loudly, but before he finished speaking, several huge bodies rushed out of the sea, carrying the turbulent waves and rushing towards the skirmish line of the small boat.
This time, there was no need for Ralph to give orders. The hunters and archers immediately shot their long arrows, then quickly pulled out a long arrow from the side of the ship and put the arrow cluster into the hard leather bag on their waist again.
Inside, and then shoot the long arrow out again.
"Disperse! Everyone disperse!"
Before the hunters and archers fired the third long arrow, Ralph gave the order at the top of his lungs. The speed of the abyssal crocodiles was a bit too fast, and they approached the skirmish line almost in the blink of an eye. Ralph
The husband immediately ordered everyone to disperse.
However, the arrows of the previous two wavelengths also hit the deep-sea crocodile dragons at this time. The deep-sea crocodile dragons, who were already stunned by the anger of getting up, did not avoid the long arrows shot in the face. The archers and the hunters had superb shooting skills.
None of the long arrows missed. Although some of them hit the hard scales, some of them still penetrated along the gaps between the scales.
Compared to the huge body of the deep-sea crocodile dragon, a long arrow does not seem to have any effect, but what is strange is that the deep-sea crocodile dragons seemed to suddenly suffer great pain, and they even gave up attacking the small boat.
The troops charged forward and rolled painfully on the sea, while also letting out huge screams.
