Chapter 162 A new kind of air cavalry is born!

Raven paused for a moment and said:
"I just had an idea. I want to try it out with them. Let's lock them underground first."

"Ideas? What is Brother Raven going to do?"

“An immature idea.

While at Poincare, I saw the air cavalry in action.

Compared with land warriors, they are more fierce and powerful.

Dante is facing many crises and Lentini is at war. We must become stronger as soon as possible.

So I want to start an air cavalry regiment, but I don’t know what I’m going to do.”

"Air Cavalry Regiment? Do you want to tame these vultures? But it seems that no one has succeeded before."

“I know, but I still want to try.

In fact, the best flying horse is the War Falcon.

But because of this, they were almost wiped out by the major original countries.

Now the breeding of fighting falcons is in their hands, so I have no choice but to think of another way."

Over the next half month, Raven, Lanster and others made various attempts to tame the vulture.

But they all ended in failure.

No matter whether it was temptation, guidance, whipping, starvation, or even violent suppression, it was impossible to make the vulture recognize its master.

There's nothing we can do about it; their intelligence is simply too low.

During this period, Monroe thought of a method that was said to be a common taming technique used in the military, which was to endure it.

After feeding the mad vulture all at once, several people took turns to feed it, not allowing it to rest day or night.

It endured for seven days, and the mad vulture went from being violent at first to being on the verge of death, and seemed to be about to surrender.

However, when a look of joy appeared on Monroe's face, the mad vulture suddenly fell to the ground and died!

It was actually starved to death.

Everyone was dumbfounded. They tried two more and found the same problem. There was nothing they could do.

For a while, all the mercenaries in Lentini were studying how to tame the vulture.

These mercenaries are not idle people. Once they have a reason, they will come up with many tricks, but all of them end in failure.

In Mulan's courtyard.

"Yuexi, why do you always sigh recently?"

"Alas, it's all because of the mad eagle.

Brother Riven wanted to tame them as mounts, but failed after trying various methods.

Now he is in a bad mood, so of course I am not happy either.”

"A mad vulture? I heard from my grandfather that a mad vulture cannot be tamed."

"That may not be the case. Brother Raven is very capable."

“But no one has ever succeeded.”

"Hey! Brother Raven should be able to think of a solution. I'm leaving now."

"Are you leaving right after you got here?"

"Not in the mood."

"Okay then." Looking at Yue Xi's back, Mulan felt lost.

After this happened several times, Mulan's mood became extremely bad.

One day, he finally couldn't help but find his grandfather and told him what happened.

"Grandpa, can you help the Lord?"

"You actually want to help Yuexi, right?" The old man touched Mulan's head and smiled.

"Well... aren't they all the same?"

"Haha, whatever you say, then it's the same. Okay, let Yuexi take us to see the Lord tomorrow."

Today, Raven was reading a powerful book.

He was trying to find clues on how to tame the mad vulture, when Yue Xi came in with two people.

"Brother Raven, this is Grandpa Doyle and Mulan, they are my friends."

"Oh? Please take a seat, both of you."

This was the first time Yuexi brought a friend back, and Riven was secretly happy.

The little girl finally came out of the shadow of losing her parents.

“My Lord, I was originally the owner of a beast farm, but I fled here because of the alliance invasion.

I heard from Yue Xi that you are trying to tame the vulture?"

"That's true, but it didn't go smoothly."

"Yeah, just as I thought."

Doyle nodded.

"I have been raising wild animals all my life, and I can assure you that you cannot tame a vulture.

For example, can you make a crocodile in a river behave?

Even if they recognize their master one moment, they will forget the next moment because their intelligence is too low."

Raven was silent.

"I was thinking that you tamed the eagle to use it as a flying cavalry.

I didn't have a good idea at first. But a few months ago, I experienced a strange thing and I just got some inspiration. I wonder if the Lord would be willing to come to my residence to take a look."

"Is that it?"

At Doyle's residence, Raven saw a large bird that looked quite similar to a vulture, and it was Andrew.

The old man nodded, as if lost in reminiscence, and said:
"I have raised many beasts, including the mad vulture, and another beast called the silver falcon.

The silver falcon is similar in shape to the raptor, but its personality is much more docile.

I was once asked to train silver falcons as cavalry, but they were too docile to be used in battle."

Raven agreed. The bloodline of the Silver Falcon's descendants was very weak. Not only was its strength limited, but once it encountered a strong enemy, it would only know how to run away.

“The turning point happened a year ago.

Once I went out for something and left the farm to my nephew.

One day, a vulture destroyed the iron cage and rushed into the cage of the silver falcon.

Surprisingly, the vulture didn't kill the silver falcon, but... you know, they ended up living together.

My nephew was too cowardly to separate them, and he allowed the situation to continue."

The old man smiled bitterly and shook his head.

“When I came back, the silver falcon had already given birth to its cub, Andrew.

This incident shocked me.

The mad vulture and the silver falcon can actually give birth to offspring!
I have been raising beasts for decades, but this is the first time I have encountered such a thing."

“What shocked me even more was that the little fellow seemed to have combined the best qualities of the Crazy Vulture and the Silver Falcon.

Not only is he physically strong, he is also incredibly smart. Get down, and turn over."

Doyle gestured to Andrew.

The little guy did as he was told, and it was exactly right, which made Raven's eyes light up.

Seeing Raven's expression, Doyle smiled.

“Because Andrew was different, I only took him with me when I fled.

Don't you realize that it is the perfect flying cavalry, strong, smart, and can be trained in large numbers? "

Raven suddenly realized!

Yes, this kind of mount can be bred on a large scale by combining the Crazy Vulture and the Silver Falcon!
Both species of beasts are very numerous.

"Uncle Doyle, you really helped me a lot!"

The haze in Raven's heart was immediately swept away.

“I wonder if you can help me train this kind of flying cavalry?

Lentini is in urgent need of them now. If you have any needs, please let me know and I will definitely meet them. "

“Hehe, of course I would.

It is a great honor for me to have the opportunity to witness the birth of a new type of air cavalry.

I just hope you won’t make this secret public. I don’t want to cause too much impact on these two lives.”

"Okay, I promise you."

"Next, please catch some raging vultures and silver falcons, about twenty in number, and I will make the arrangements.

If everything goes well, you will have a team of air cavalry in two years."

Next, Raven opened up a large area in the underground space to raise the two species of beasts.

Doyle is indeed an expert in this area and has managed everything in perfect order.

Later, he even took care of the three Kalan birds.

Therefore, Doyle knew the existence of Dark Marrow.

For the old man who had been raising beastmen for his entire life, the existence of Dark Marrow made him ecstatic.

Seeing that everything was on the right track, Riven devoted himself to the production of the restored demon weapons.

The referee who promised Brother Owen has delivered.

Everything he makes now has to be auctioned off, and then he has to pay the mercenaries, and also prepare a batch of air cavalry equipment.

This is a huge expense.

Unlike land cavalry, the most important weapon of air cavalry is the armor-annihilating crossbow.

Unlike ordinary crossbows, the Armor-Annihilation Crossbow is made using a unique craftsmanship. It has powerful magic-breaking and armor-piercing capabilities, and has an extremely long range, making it the weapon of choice for air combat.

According to the market price, it costs hundreds of gold coins a bunch.

Another thing is armor.

Due to the importance and preciousness of air cavalry, their armor also needs to be the best, at least high-level chain armor.

In fact, the best is the Burning Armor, which can take into account both defense and lightness, but its cost is several times that of chain mail.

Not only that, the important parts of the flying cavalry must also be covered with armor, and a saddle is also indispensable.

Riven calculated that it would cost nearly a thousand gold coins to equip an elite air cavalryman!
This does not include the price of the flying cavalry.

Standing in front of the window, looking at the night outside, Raven sighed.

I don't know if the idea of ​​establishing air cavalry is correct.

This is truly a bottomless pit, but Lentini must become stronger as soon as possible.

"Knock, knock, knock!" There was a sudden knock on the door.

"Boss, open the door quickly, I found something!"
