Astartes of the Bear School Chapter 730

Chapter 730 712. Heavy ballistae

 Making a prompt decision, the new combat plan was implemented that night.

In the discussion between the Commander-in-Chief and Lan En, the weakening of the Molten Dragon was originally done as early as possible and without stopping.

For the last moment, use decisive force to beat the Lava Dragon all over its head and hit it painfully enough, so that its instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages will overwhelm its instinct to return to death (the creature goes to a specific location before death), and then it will The route turned away from the Leyline Corridor to prepare.

Wend and Aiden returned three hours later, bringing Lan En his equipment along the way.

 “Click click click.”

The sound of the mechanical leaf spring was clear and sweet. Lan En's palm, which was two or three times larger than ordinary people, was like the most skilled craftsman, checking and resetting a heavy ballista with an all-steel structure.

　　【Fire Assault Crossbow】.

It is based on the standard [Iron Assault Crossbow] of the investigation team, and is made of the fire bag, teeth, scales and other materials of the Barbarian Dragon.

 Although in this world, the power and functionality of long-range weapons are largely due to warheads made from strange and diverse natural materials.

However, this kind of thick and huge firearm, which weighed more than 100 kilograms, still made Lan En have a good impression the first time he came into contact with it.

Perhaps it's because in [Memory Diving], the long-range weapons used by those Space Marines from the Star Empire are similar to heavy ballistae, right?

The Space Marines of the Emperor's Children don't just use swordsmanship, which would be too stupid on the interstellar battlefield. The combat scenarios it can adapt to are also too limited.

 Not only is it inelegant, it's also inefficient.

 The bolter they most commonly use looks like a stupid, black and thick weapon.

 It has a thick caliber, a thick gun body, and a conventional warhead as big as an ordinary person's fist.

Anyway, if you use unstrengthened muscles and bones to shoot and withstand the recoil, then it is estimated that the bones in the arm of a normal person will be shattered to the point of requiring amputation after one shot.

 In this world, hunters have strong physical qualities, so although they are not very standardized in the design ideas of industrial products.

 But the gun has a thicker barrel! Increase the charge! Give me a special warhead!

 What happened to the heaviness? Are you afraid that the hunters won't be able to carry it? Isn't this originally called a 'heavy ballista'? Just add a shield to it as an emergency protection!

 What's wrong with the design ideas that aren't industrialized or organized enough?

Use monster materials to boost performance!

 What are world characteristics? (lean back)

In short, the second name of the barbarian jaw dragon - Fierce Claw, who was still stunned by the anesthesia ball in the star stronghold, had not had time to study it, but the materials it had knocked down had already been used by Lan En.

Wend, Garfield and Aiden stood aside, watching Lan En's even somewhat enjoyable firearms inspection process.

“Oh, my skills in assembly, disassembly, and maintenance are quite good.” Wen De crossed his arms and pinched his chin and said in an appreciative tone.

 “I just don't know what it's like to actually use it.”

“It's something like a heavy ballista. People who can dismantle and repair it may not be able to use it for shooting.”

“And it seems like your hometown doesn't have this kind of weapon, right?”

Facing Wen De's teasing questioning, Lan En smiled slightly.

 With a "click", the thick steel magazine was pressed into the main body of the gun.

 Then it was hung on Lan En's lower back in a folded position.

"Don't worry, man." Lan En patted the [Fire Assault Crossbow] hanging on his waist, "I'll show you what the art of shooting is in a moment."

 “Tch~” Wende curled his lips deliberately.

 The hunters quickly packed up their equipment, called the Pterosaur, and returned to the back of the Lava Dragon.

According to Lan En's intelligence, they began to spread out and search up and down the center line of the Lava Dragon's spine.

In addition to the two places that Lan En had already determined, they quickly found three more, for a total of five heat dissipation organs.

 “You two drive together.”

In front of a gap in the basalt mountain wall, Lan pulled up Wende and Aiden who started to lift the heavy ballistae and the light ballistae.

“I just said that I would show you what the 'art of shooting' is, and now is the time.”

 Wen De is a brave person who is good at art, so he feels that the people he recognizes can be as strong as himself, and emergencies are not a problem.

 So he naturally put away the heavy ballista and hung it on his waist. Aiden has a more stable character.

"You're the only one fighting? Is it too late? Once the Laoshan Dragon is shocked, this guy will definitely close the gap in his back quickly."

But worried Aiden is actually not very firm in his attitude. After all, Lan En has been very reliable since they worked together.

 So he was easily pulled away by Lan En.

Only the demon hunter was left, facing the gap in the molten dragon's back shell alone.

This is another cavity hidden in the back shell, with an irregular pointed cone at the bottom that emits a hot red light.

 Lan En stood still in front of the gap.

He then unfolded the [Fire Assault Crossbow] from his lower back, and under the watchful eyes of the other two people and a cat, he inserted a special magazine into the magazine position.

 “I'll go, aren't you?”

At this time, even Wind and Garfield, who were used to seeing strong winds and waves, couldn't help but slowly open their mouths.

They all knew the thing that Lan En stuffed into the magazine slot, it was called [Mechanical Dragon Bullet].

It is a special magazine for the heavy ballista.

 But what really surprised them was Lan En's state at this time.

He raised the [Fire Assault Crossbow] with one hand. His extraordinary size made this weapon, which needs to be held in the arms of a hunter after unfolding, look like a weapon with many accessories installed in his hand. A bloated, overgrown pistol!

“He, he's not going to lie down? Or did you mean that you didn't give him any instructions when you taught him how to use the heavy crossbow?”

Wend's mouth twitched as he asked Aiden.

 He knew quite well that Aiden had taught Lan En the hunting skills for a period of time.

 But when he saw Aiden's expression, Wende realized that his question was in vain.

　　【Mechanical Dragon Bullet】is a kind of ammunition that even with the physical quality of hunters, they need to shoot from a prostrate posture in order to offset the recoil and prevent the body from being blown away.

Now, Aiden's mouth is about as wide as Wende's.

I remember when Lan En learned the heavy crossbow from me, it was very polite!

 But the matter has come to this, and it is too late to say anything.

The demon hunter was holding this heavy ballista weighing a hundred kilograms like a light rifle.

 The corner of his mouth gradually evoked a heart-rending smile.

 Then the flames exploded!

 “Bang bang bang!!”

That's right, the so-called [Machine Dragon Bullet] is to shoot the super-standard ammunition used by hunters at a rate of fire like a machine gun!

Each round of ammunition was fired like a small cannonball, and the recoil blasted a circle of spreading dust at Lan En's feet.

 The muzzle fire, even on this active volcano, which was not too dark, made Lan En's face appear to flicker.

"I go!"

Wend, Garfield and Aiden covered their ears almost at the same time as Lan En fired.
