Viola didn't feel the pain for a while, so she slowly turned her head away.
Behind them stood a petite hunter with gray hair and gray eyes, a rapier and a revolver hanging at her waist.
"Ma'am, are you okay?"
A melodious, clear voice, like that of a nightingale, rang out. Alice, still shaken, stared at the petite and adorable 'hunter' before her, her mind blank for a long time.
"Thank you so much for saving us."
"Thank you, big sister."
The child's smile prompted Elena to smile back, but before she could speak, a rough and boisterous voice came from the room she had just entered.
"Speed up! Immediately set up a defensive perimeter around this building!"
"Those in the recommendation group, come with me and push the front line out!"
A thunderous voice echoed in the Otton Chapel, and then the survivors present watched as about thirty people ran out of the small room, which was less than 30 square meters.
Most of them carried various huge and exaggerated weapons on their backs, and wore heavy armor made of various biological scales or metal.
The one who made that sound was a tall, imposing, and wild-looking blond man, who was also the only one who wasn't carrying a weapon.
However, looking at his strong physique, his intimidating presence is undeniable whether he carries a weapon or not.
"Commander, the doctor that Researcher Melo mentioned wants to see you."
"Wait a moment, I'll be right there."
After finishing speaking, the Grand Master came to Alene's side, first giving Alice and Carol a friendly smile, then said to Alene:
"Little bird, your companion will be here soon. I don't know your behavior patterns. If you need any help, just let me know."
Although Elena had some reservations about the title of Grand Master, she still nodded.
Upon seeing this, the Grand Master left with the hunter who had delivered the message.
Immediately afterwards, the companion that the commander had mentioned also came out of that room.
"Elena, we're here."
Leading the group was the third captain of the deep-sea hunters, followed by several other deep-sea hunters.
Because Agor had been completely destroyed, the few remaining hunters chose to join Rhodes Island.
"Ulpian, wait for me a moment."
After speaking, Elena turned around and went to Alice, who was still sobbing softly, and took two candies out of her pocket and put them in Alice's hand.
"Big sister, are you and Brother Zhou Si partners?"
Carol peeked half her head out from behind her mother, looking at Elena with some curiosity.
"Yes."
Hearing that guy's name again after so long, Elena's lips unconsciously curled up slightly.
"Don't worry, we'll drive the wild beasts away."
After Elena finished speaking, she patted Alice and Carol on the head, and then left the church with the deep-sea hunters.
"Let's go find Skadi first."
As they left the church, Elena spoke to the deep-sea hunters.
"no problem."
Ulbian nodded, and the other hunters had no objections either.
Elene was personally appointed by the Doctor to be the head of Rhodes Island's branch in the Forbidden Lands.
As agents of the branch, it was only natural for them to follow Elena's instructions.
After Zhou Si installed the portal, Rhodes Island quickly reached a strategic cooperation agreement with the Hunter Guild.
The two sides have carried out close cooperation in many aspects such as technology and materials, and the Forbidden Lands Survey Team, which was the first to benefit, has already started using various supplies sent by Rhodes Island.
The most obvious change is that all the tents they used to live in have been dismantled, and the entire cavern has been transformed into an extremely modern military base thanks to the efforts of Rhodes Island's engineering department.
After becoming the person in charge, Elene will most likely be stationed in the Forbidden Land, and the deep-sea hunters who are now homeless have made the same choice.
Rather than getting involved in the love-hate entanglements of various factions in Terra, the Deepsea Hunters would prefer to come to a new world.
Surprisingly, the most active one among them was Ghost Shark?
According to her, she was very interested in the weapon Zhou Si used at the time, and if given the opportunity, she would like to become a glorious shield-axe hero.
But putting all that aside for now, it was Elini who volunteered to come and support Zhou Si this time.
The Forbidden Lands Investigation Team was far less manpower than the New World team, but even so, Lord Fabius originally planned to send hunters from the Bird Team and the Star Team to support Zhou Si.
After all, Zhou Si was also part of their Forbidden Land Investigation Team, and they would never abandon their comrade.
But after Elene learned of this, she took the initiative to suggest to Fabius that they should go to provide support this time.
The reason for persuading Fabius was quite simple.
They can handle fighting in the New World, but they can't get involved in the investigation missions in the Forbidden Lands right now.
If you don't want their mission progress to stagnate or even regress, then hand over the support work to them.
Elene's reasoning clearly convinced Fabius.
And so, they participated in this support operation as unofficial members of the Forbidden Lands Investigation Team.
Elene and the hunters quickly found Skadi in the courtyard outside the church, where she was directing Hai Si and the hunters to build fortifications.
The arrival of her companions made her very happy.
But before the deep-sea hunters could catch up, deafening artillery fire erupted from the direction of the line formed by the survey team's hunters not far away.
"It seems your reunion will have to wait until later."
Elena drew her gun and sword from her waist and pointed them at the battlefield not far away.
The deep-sea hunters also took up their weapons.
Even though the battlefield has shifted from water to land, they remain the most outstanding hunters.
Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Real Military Hunt
The flames of war have engulfed the entire church town, and swarms of beasts have surrounded the area.
Wild beasts are everywhere – on the streets, on buildings, and in the shadows – including many that were originally bosses in the game.
And their numbers account for almost 30% of the beast tide.
This apocalyptic scene then descended upon the town of Yharnam.
Even the most powerful and experienced church hunters would likely feel despair in the face of such a beast tide.
This was Eileen the crow hunter's initial idea.
But with the sudden appearance of those hunters from out of town, Eileen's thoughts were completely changed.
The sound of running in unison, and the orderly allocation of tasks.
More than hunters, they are a well-trained army, and on top of that, they possess combat and teamwork abilities that are unmatched by ordinary people.
The hunters, wielding giant hammers, demolished the buildings that were in their way. Under the frozen gaze of the original homeowner, the villa collapsed with a crash, becoming a 'natural' cover for the hunters.
The spear hunters and musket hunters, wielding heavy shields, acted as the front line, holding the fort and bearing the brunt of the beast horde's charge.
The attacks of countless beasts seemed so weak and powerless in the face of those large shields of various shapes. They stood at the front until the defensive offensive behind them was gradually completed.
"Long rifle squad, retreat! Gun rifle squad, retreat in coordination in 10 seconds."
"Heavy crossbow squad, load the mechanical dragon bullets!"
Aiden's voice rang out repeatedly in the middle of the position. As a member of the recommended group, Aiden's combat power may not be as exaggerated as that of Azure Star, but he is not just a mere accessory.
As a properly trained hunter, Aiden can be considered a well-rounded, all-around warrior. He believes he is much more suitable for this kind of defensive battle with a small scale of engagement than Azure Star.
Aiden and the heavy crossbow hunters around him then loaded their heavy crossbows with mechanical dragon bullets and aimed the cannons at the direction of the beast tide.
"Fire!"
A high-pitched roar echoed across the position, and the muzzles of the heavy crossbows whirred incessantly.
Countless mechanical dragon projectiles erupted, and a dense barrage of bullets rained down on the horde of beasts.
Clearly, the beast horde was helpless against this steel torrent. Their sturdy bodies, comparable to city walls, were as fragile as paper in front of the guild's specially made mechanical dragon bullets.
Under the barrage of mechanical dragon bullets, a gap appeared in the beast tide directly in front of the entire church town.
While the cannon barrel was overheating and being loaded, the hunters in the front row advanced again.
In this highly militarized cyclical tactic, the beast tide attacking from the front was driven back in defeat.
Eileen, the crow hunter behind them, was stunned. She looked at the musket hanging at her waist and then at the heavy crossbows in the hunters' hands.
I couldn't help but start to doubt the meaning of life.
But what remains more of a mystery is where this group of ruthless people came from.
......
Compared to the almost one-sided massacres on the front lines, the rear lines were even more bloody and brutal.
The beast horde and the sea creatures were completely intertwined, and the battlefield had become a meat grinder.
"Competing with large groups in terms of quantity?"
Isamara, who was controlling Skadi's body, almost burst out laughing. She had never heard such a funny joke in her life.
Previously, it was fine because there wasn't enough time to convert them, but now that Isamara is protected by the Deep Sea Hunters, she can focus her attention on controlling the division and assimilation of the Sealing cells.
Those fallen monsters will become nourishment for a large number of creatures, and then become their new brethren.
However, protecting newborns in the Deep Sea Hunters is still somewhat of a hellish experience.
Meanwhile, the number of Sealings gradually increased, and the Deepsea Hunters didn't even need to go to the battlefield themselves. They only needed to stand behind the Sealings and prevent others from killing Isamara.
"Captain, something's strange."
"indeed."
As the fight progressed, Skadi noticed that something was wrong with these beasts.
The plant tendrils and flower buds on them were one thing, but Zhou Si had been sending clues about the Vaal Hazak back to the guild, so they could roughly deduce the origin of those plants.
but...
"Isn't the number of these wild beasts a bit too exaggerated?"
Skadi quickly realized something was wrong.
It should be noted that these beasts were theoretically transformed from the local villagers of Yharnam.
But on the battlefield right in front of them, the number of dead beasts was almost equal to the entire population of Yharnam.
But the beast tide showed no sign of abating; countless wild beasts continued their relentless charge toward the church, fearless of death.
Such an unusual situation naturally attracted the attention of the guild hunters.
In the makeshift meeting room in the church, the Grand Master listened to the hunter's report and nodded.
"You go out first."
"Gentlemen, what are your thoughts on the current situation?"
The group leader looked at the remaining people in the conference room.
"We know very little about dreams and about Yharnam, so it's best not to act rashly for now."
"Moreover, Zhou Si and the others haven't returned yet, so we can't be sure whether what we're about to do will affect them."
Alini calmly analyzed that her ideas were rather conservative, and that rushing forward would most likely result in a disastrous outcome.
Moreover, given the current situation, it is almost impossible for the beast horde to break through the defensive line jointly established by the hunters and the sea creatures.
"In conclusion, I think holding onto the church town is a good option."
"That makes sense. Does anyone else have any thoughts?"
No one else in the meeting room raised any objections. Their current plan was to hold their ground and wait for Zhou Si and Cang Lanxing to return.
