Chapter 795: Chapter 795 Discussion of the Flying Army
Plays, huh? Quite interesting. I rember being able to get engrossed in them as a child when watching with my family.
In an era devoid of television, internet, or various entertainnt forms, even those crazy arts could draw people’s attention, let alone these genuine artistic expressions.
I imagine by the ti the Temple cos to its senses, even they might have so people whose thoughts have been transford.
I really want to see the Temple’s reaction at that ti, but it’ll require waiting a while.
Plus, by then, it might not be so easy for the Temple to find trouble with . After all, once an art culture has spread, it can no longer be tightly controlled in one’s hands.
It wouldn’t be surprising if others started creating works in this form by then.
After all, there are so many minstrels around; I’ve sowhat provided them with a new working model.
All I need to do is guide them, and then the early stories will all be unfriendly towards the Temple. Moreover, this thod is very secretive; even those creating the stories might not fully understand their own thoughts.
Enough of that, let’s not worry about these things for now. Zhao Guang had been to the Silver Tower and gathered people by the ti he ca back.
Coscola wasn’t there because he was still figuring out how to command and coordinate the Hard-haired Pigs.
“Alright, this eting is primarily to discuss matters concerning the Flying Army.”
“The Flying Army? That’s great, it really matches well with us,” Guna imdiately jumped in, raising her hand. Once the Shooter Corps is ford, being able to fly or not is entirely different.
In fact, even for other countries’ flying armies, their main attack mode isn’t close combat.
It’s either dropping things from the sky or hurling javelins and such at the enemy while midair.
Real close combat, where opponents fight each other with lee weapons, isn’t common and is very risky. One mishap, and not only the enemy but also oneself could fall down, leading to mutual destruction.
How can one engage in close combat without ranged attacks, especially when a knight is also not as agile?
The kind of scenario where one fights in the air using a lance or even a sword is almost nonexistent in reality.
But archers are different; they naturally sync well with flying mounts.
“That’s right, it’s ant for you,” Zhao Guang looked around, very satisfied, seeing that none had major objections to establishing the Flying Army.
“So, these are the suitable spots I could find for flying mounts.”
Zhao Guang took out so Silver Tower missions—of course, the specifics of these missions were not for them to see, but the targets recorded in these missions were no issue.
These creatures have always been plentiful; the toughest part is their taming, that’s all.
Fortunately, the Silver Tower has thods of taming these creatures. It’s just that these thods aren’t affordable for everyone, and those mages who can afford them aren’t much interested in these creatures anyway.
“Use Flying Dragons,” Sephidya was the first to raise her hand.
“Flying Dragons would indeed be excellent; they’re among the top choices for flying mounts, but it seems their numbers are rather limited,” Xi Fei said hesitantly, and in truth, flying dragons suited them very well.
Because Sephidya herself is a true giant dragon, and with a giant dragon at hand, taming flying dragons becos much easier.
Giant dragons are the supre leaders of all sub-dragons—just a roar, and all sub-dragons comply obediently.
Zhao Guang also nodded and said, “The numbers are indeed low; starting a formal, complete flying army with them will not be easy.” Finding flying dragons is tough, even in the Silver Tower, they are scarce.
Besides, flying dragons are also valuable targets and experintal subjects for mages.
Usually, if such a target surfaces, the interested mages capture them imdiately.
This ti Zhao Guang was just lucky to spot one. Otherwise, he would have definitely missed it as other mages would have taken the mission. Of course, whether to complete the mission or not was still undecided.
Mages could abandon missions, as long as it wasn’t too frequent and didn’t attract higher-ups’ attention.
“Let’s use griffins instead; they are nurous and commonly used as mounts in flying troops, reputedly very easy to ta.
Griffins are inherently suitable mounts; their size just fits for riding, and they don’t require additional equipnt—just mount them directly.
But upon hearing Jeana’s suggestion, Xi Fei spoke again, “That might not be suitable either, because griffins also eat at, and it would be difficult for our territory to afford such a large number of griffins.”
Zhao Guang also recalled that his territory was indeed always in a state of food shortage.
It might not seem so from the outside, but that’s because he had been buying a large amount of grain to sustain it. In reality, the food issue in his domain had always been very tight, primarily because his territory was still underdeveloped.
Had the developnt been ongoing for a couple more years, his domain wouldn’t face such issues, and self-sufficiency wouldn’t be a problem.
Especially the livestock industry—although he had been striving to develop it, it wasn’t feasible to buy them in bulk like grain. Hence, for the most part, he had to rely on breeding within his own territory.
No matter how much Zhao Guang tried to control it, the breeding rate couldn’t catch up given the substantial population growth in his territory.
The current breeding scale ant that resolving the at problem could only ease gradually over the years. Even with bulk purchases from outside, it would likely take one to two years to sort out.
At the current scale of farming, unless the people’s at consumption was cut in half or even more,
supplying at for a thousand-strong Griffin Army, let alone a thousand, even five hundred was unaffordable. And this did not even consider the Earth Dragons, these creatures also ate at.
“I see, let’s discuss it another ti then,” Jeana said with a flick of her tongue in acknowledgnt.
“Let’s use this, Floating Fish are pretty good, and they are omnivores—they eat everything, as easy to rear as five pigs. The key is they fly very steadily and can carry a lot of weight.”
Suddenly, Guna pointed at a target that Zhao Guang hadn’t noticed before.
“Floating Fish? That exists?” Zhao Guang hadn’t paid close attention when sweeping all the flying magic beast missions. It turned out that such an odd creature was among them.
It looks like a fish but has absolutely no relation to fish species, hunted only because it tastes good.
