The beginning of the game calendar is October 189.

Jiang Xu, Lu Shan, 100 NPC Xiliang Tieqi, as well as 100 NPC Qiang herdsmen from Lu's small village, 10 ox carts, and groups of steppe wolves, arrived at the 2,000 square kilometers of Daying grassland at the foot of the southern foot of Yanzhi Mountain in Zhangye County.

At this time, the Damaying grassland has taken on a new look after nearly a month of operation by the Xiaobai Alliance and the other five alliances.

There are no more NPCs in the grassland, and you can see a herd of level 30 bison and a level 20 herd of wild sheep grazing in the grassland everywhere - these are all beasts that the system automatically brushes out in the grassland, and due to the lack of natural enemies, more and more self-reproduce.

The ten royal horse farms in the pasture have all been used to raise war horses. However, because there are too few foals in the market and some alliances do not have enough funds, the number of horses raised is not much, and some military horse farms even only raise a few.

Zhan Xiaobai asked the players of the Xiaobai Chamber of Commerce to buy back ten level 30 high-grade stallions, two hundred level 30 high-grade mares, and one hundred level 0 foals from the Cherrigi tribe, and put them in the military horse farm to feed. The foal costs 2 copper coins per horse. A high-grade mare, the price of a horse is 40 copper coins, which is almost comparable to the price of a steed.

Even with the financial resources of the Little White Alliance, they don't dare to buy too much. And after buying this time, I don't buy it anymore, and I use these to reproduce naturally and expand the scale of breeding.

The foal grows from level 0 to level 30 adulthood, with a growth cycle of about one month, and will automatically grow level 1 in 1 day, and stop growing in level 30 when it reaches adulthood. Experience can only be gained by following the player's cavalry into battle.

Horses that reach adulthood need another two months before they are fertile. Mating at the beginning of the month, giving birth at the end of the month, can give birth to 1~2 foals at a time. So the breeding of horses expands, and there is a relatively long natural reproduction cycle. (Horses can only have fertility when they are raised in the horse farm or pasture, and they do not have the function of giving birth when they are used by the player.) ）

Zhan Xiaobai was idle, riding his mount, the Mustang King, around the military horse farm.

The horse farm, in fact, is a huge field surrounded by a fence, with a main house courtyard in the middle, and on the side are a field of yurt-like tents for herders, haystacks, and a large number of stables made of wood and hay.

When Zhan Xiaobai was strolling, he saw NPC herders skillfully breeding stallions and mares.

He suddenly had an idea of "evil". His Mustang King is a level 50 male BMW, I wonder if the Mustang King and mare can breed and give birth to a litter of BMW foals? If you could, it would be developed! A nest of small BMWs, that's more expensive than gold.

As soon as he thought of it, he immediately recruited the owner of this top royal military horse farm, the NPC Qiang general. Give him the king of wild horses and ask him to instruct the herdsmen to breed king horses and mares. The Qiang military generals immediately carried out their tasks with a look of awe, and specially sent three herdsmen to breed the wild horse king and more than ten mares that had not yet been mated. After two days, when the mare gives birth, she will be able to know the result.

When Zhan Xiaobai was waiting in boredom, Jiang Xu, Lu Shan and other NPCs arrived at the top royal military horse farm. The old hunter Lu Shan and the others followed Jiang Xu into the military horse farm, and when they saw Zhan Xiaobai, they quickly stepped forward and fell to the ground excitedly, choking and shouting: "Lord! ”

The hundred NPC Qiang herdsmen who followed Lu Shan also hurriedly fell to the ground, very awe-inspiring. Although they are unintelligent NPCs, they also know from Lu Shan's mouth that the lord of the village chief is a member of the five grades of the imperial court. The five-grade official authority is extremely strong deterrent to these ordinary NPCs.

Zhan Xiaobai was stunned when he saw a group of NPCs bowing down in front of him.

He immediately recognized that the leader was the old hunter Lu Shan, and he was very excited, and immediately stepped forward to help the old hunter Lu Shan up.

The old hunter Lu Shan was one of the most important members of his early NPC team in Xiaobai Village, and he once made great contributions to the rise of Xiaobai Village by attacking Hutou Mountain Cottage, teaching Xiaobai Village bow and arrow manufacturing skills, and taming war horses. Its merits are enough to be tied with several NPC backbones such as Li Asan, Tie Dabing, and Mu Dalu.

In the 183rd year of the game calendar, Lu Shan was arranged by him to build a village in the Xiqiang grassland to domesticate war horses, and now he is finally back.

Although Zhan Xiaobai thinks he is very sensible, he has deep feelings for these NPC ministers who made great contributions to Xiaobai Village in the early days. Give extremely high preferential treatment and refuse to be treated badly. Now the treatment of the backbone NPCs of Xiaobai Town is also surprisingly high in the entire game, which is enough to make ordinary players smack.

His eyes were slightly red, and he patted Lu Shan's shoulder and said, "Old Lu, I've made you suffer in Xiqiang." It's good to be back, it's good to be back! ”

The old hunter burst into tears and said: "The old man has been trapped in Xiqiang for several years, and he has failed to complete the mission of the lord, but he has always remembered the lord and is ashamed!" ”

Zhan Xiaobai was even more ashamed when he heard this, he sent Lu Shan to go deep into the Xiqiang Grassland to build a village to domesticate war horses, which in itself was a risky move with high profits and high risks, allowing Lu Shan to risk his life to stay alone in the West Sea. As an NPC, Lu Shan's life is only once in this game, and he can be reborn infinitely no more than the player.

Although the old hunter failed to bring back the war horse for Xiaobai Village in 183~189 for some reason, he was ashamed of Lu Shan in his heart.

Zhan Xiaobai hurriedly said: "It's okay, what I'm most worried about is the safety of Lu Lao, as long as you can come back safely." People are fine, nothing else matters. Moreover, we now have our own military horse farm, and we no longer have to take huge risks to raise horses in the Xiqiang grassland in the future. You've been on the road for most of the day, and you're tired, so go into the yard and rest. ”

He hurriedly ordered people to arrange for these NPC herdsmen to rest.

The old hunter wiped away his tears, remembered something, and said happily: "Lord, the old man has spent a year on the Xiqiang grassland, and he has specially found a few gifts for the lord. ”

Ten NPC herders hurriedly ran to pull the ten oxcart pens over.

The old hunter himself went over and uncovered the hides that were covering the corrals.

Inside the huge corral, there were ten huge wolves like calves, with gray-white fur, closed eyes, lazily curled up in a corner of the corral. It seems harmless, but with their physique that exceeds that of ordinary level 25 wild wolves by three ~ four times, and their three-inch-long sharp snow-white fangs, no one dares to doubt their ferocity and combat effectiveness.

More than 200 wolves, who were originally very active, suddenly fell silent on the ground, whimpering in a low voice.

Zhan Xiaobai was taken aback. What is this, the boss in the wolf? He could clearly feel a strong aura of the beast king, which was more threatening than the level 40 tiger and level 45 plateau snow leopard.

Lu Shan explained with awe: "My lord, these ten are rare level 50 wolf kings on Chiling Mountain, and only one wolf king can be found among nearly a thousand wild wolves in hundreds of wolf dens. The old man searched almost the entire Chiling, spent great strength, and even sacrificed more than a dozen villagers to capture more than 30 wolf kings. ”

Zhan Xiaobai gasped. The 50-level wolf king, as a boss-level beast, has doubled its defense, attack power, and blood value on the basis of the original level, and its combat power can almost be compared with the 70-level beast. I am afraid that the whole village of the Lu family will be dispatched to catch a wolf king. I really don't know how the old hunter had so much courage to capture the wolf king.

"More than thirty wolf kings? There are only ten of them, and the rest! ”

"Dead! More than half of the more than thirty wolf kings have been eliminated, and the remaining ten have become the most outstanding blood wolf kings among them, and they are being domesticated. It only takes a while for it to be domesticated. ”

"Blood wolf?!"

When Zhan Xiaobai heard this, he finally remembered. When they were in the West Sea, they used to put steppe wolves and wild horses together, survival of the fittest, and used them to select blood wolves that were proficient in dealing with horses, and domesticated them. But after a long time, I gradually forgot about it.

Lu Shan had obviously made a note of this, and had been working hard to pick the best blood wolf.

Lu Shan said a little proudly: "The old man is trapped and can't leave Xiqiang, and it is too easy to domesticate wild horses, so he can only take pleasure in domesticating blood wolves." After years of continuous experimentation, the old man has mastered a new skill: cultivating the 'Blood Wolf Rider'. ”

"'Blood Wolf Ride'?"

Zhan Xiaobai was surprised.

He once thought of using the Blood Wolf to assist in the battle, but the development of an independent class was beyond his expectations. Like swordsmen, swordsmen, archers, rattan armor soldiers, light cavalry, heavy cavalry, Xiliang iron cavalry...... and so on, all of which are regular classes with fixed names in the game. These arms could still be recruited directly from the barracks when Dong Zhuo did not issue the "Order to Abolish the Barracks" a month ago.

Players modify these classes, with a very low chance of a new class appearing.

The "Blood Wolf Rider" class, he can be sure, has never appeared in the game, otherwise it would have been thoroughly studied and hyped by those fanatical troop enthusiast players.

Those who master the skills of the military are all NPC generals, commanders, strategists and other war professions. Lu Shan is a mountain hunter class, and he has mastered the skill of "cultivating 'Blood Wolf Rider'", but he cannot use the "Blood Wolf Rider" class to fight.

Zhan Xiaobai was very interested, and hurriedly asked Lu Shan to continue.

Lu Shan said: "The 'Blood Wolf Cavalry' class belongs to one of the special arms 'Beast Soldiers'. This class consists of 1 soldier, 1 war horse, and 1~3 blood wolves. According to the configuration and combat effectiveness level, it can be subdivided into four levels of troops: beginner, middle, high, and super. Grade, which is directly related to configuration.

Beginner Blood Wolf Ride: Ordinary soldiers, ordinary war horses, and level 20 blood wolves, composed. Middle-grade blood wolf ride: Middle-grade soldiers, medium-grade war horses, and level 30 blood wolves, composition.

High-level Blood Wolf Ride: Composed of high-grade soldiers, high-grade war horses, and level 40 blood wolves. Super Rank Blood Wolf Rider: The best soldier, the best war horse, and the level 50 blood wolf king, composition.

Blood wolf riders of different grades have completely different powers. But ......"

Lu Shan said this with a little regret, "Although the old man captured the wolf king and domesticated them into the blood wolf king. However, there are only ordinary Qiang people in the Lu family's small village, which can be transformed into ordinary level 20 Qiang soldiers, so they can only control ordinary wolves at most, and they can't suppress the Blood Wolf King at all. Therefore, my Lu clan village has only formed ten 'beginner' blood wolf riders, and their power is relatively weak. ”

Zhan Xiaobai nodded, "What else?" ”

Lu Shan quickly introduced the specific conditions for the formation of the "Blood Wolf Ride". Formation conditions:

1. Soldiers, the better the soldiers, the better they can control the war horses and blood wolves.

2. War horses: War horses of different grades have different fierceness. The higher it is, the more intense it is, and the less likely it is to fear wolves.

Blood Wolf: A wild wolf that has been brutally eliminated for several rounds, with extremely good latent power, endurance, attack power, bloodthirstiness, and discipline. An adult level 20 blood wolf with an attack power of at least 15 or more.

3. Selection: War Horse, Blood Wolf. The two eliminate each other. After mutual elimination, they become high-quality blood wolf rides.

"Blood Wolf Rider" class characteristics:

1. Restraint troops: light cavalry, light infantry. Favorable terrain: dense grass, sparse pine forests, Gobi. Favorable weather: night, fog, snow. Restrained Class: None. Disadvantages: The blood wolf is too wild, and it is easy to fall into a state of rage and out of control.

2. War Effects.

Cause indiscriminate fear of nearby troops, and the probability of fear is related to the courage of the opponent's soldiers, and the timid soldiers fall into a state of daziness and cannot fight normally. Or even escape.

Cause indiscriminate chaos among nearby armies, and the probability of chaos is related to the morale of the opponent's soldiers, and the demoralized soldiers and mounts fall into a state of confusion and cannot fight normally. Or even escape. (Indistinguishable: Refers to the absence of a distinction between enemy and friendly forces.) ）

3. Supply needs: grain, grass, meat. Blood wolves consume large amounts of meat on a daily basis.

4. The blood wolf cavalry species, its leading generals should have the attribute of "beast affinity", which can give full play to the maximum combat effectiveness of the blood wolf cavalry. If it's "blood wolf affinity", then even better. (NPC generals who grew up with wolves, or NPC generals who grew up with wolves since childhood, have a very high chance of having the "Blood Wolf Affinity" attribute.) A type of "beastly affinity")

Zhan Xiaobai listened to the introduction of the old hunter Lu Shan, and had to sigh at the old hunter's "toughness", the blood wolf riding this type of troops, was actually studied so thoroughly by him.

Zhan Xiaobai began to think.

Since all barracks were abolished, NPC units were completely up to the players themselves, with farmers training soldiers, purchasing weapons and equipment to arm them and combine them into different classes. Like the level 70 Tiger Rider and the level 40 Xiliang Iron Rider, it is impossible to buy them from the system. If you have the ability, cultivate it yourself.

The "Blood Wolf Ride" drummed up by Lu Shan seems to be a very fierce type of troops.

Belch.....

The Blood Wolf King, with ten. A wolf king the size of a calf is estimated to be able to overturn a level 70 heavy cavalry. I don't know if they have male and female. If you let them mate with each other, they will raise a litter of wolf kings...... Hey. The grassland is short of wolf cubs to control the ecological balance.

The best war horse, with five military horse farms in hand, it must be easy to get. Even if it didn't, it could be replaced by a more sturdy horse. The alliance of players with the most war horses in the world, except for his Xiaobai Alliance, there is no other one who dares to call it the first.

The rest are the best soldiers, and I don't know what kind of NPC soldiers can be called the best soldiers. The two counties of Wuwei and Zhangye are so big, there are too many villages to count, and some excellent soldiers can always be dug up.

On the whole, it is still very promising to form a "super-level blood wolf horse" with extremely strong combat effectiveness.
