Richard had just rested for a few days when the demon hunters reported to him that a group of lions had migrated in the middle of the Eagle Mountains.

Adult male griffins are fifth-order magical beasts, and female griffins are generally fourth-order.

The Lion Crane is a relatively rare flying monster, and its IQ is also higher than that of the Iron Wildebeest, because it can fly in the air, and the Lion Crane is often more difficult than the monster on the ground.

Although the lion has a fierce temperament, it is a magical beast that can communicate and be domesticated.

Because of the restraint of the Harpy, the price of an adult griffin without a magical contract is very high, often reaching more than 5,000 gold coins.

Near the Kingdom of Grant, only the Kingdom of Ryan controlled a group of lions. In order to maintain its advantage, the Kingdom of Lane will not sell to neighboring countries at all.

The Divine Radiance Empire occasionally sells griffins, but strictly controls the number, basically only selling male lions, not females. If you want to form a Lion Knights, you have to come up with at least about two million gold coins.

Moreover, such a Lion Knights is still a one-time army, and they can only continue to spend money to buy Lion Birds after the loss.

The external environment of the Grant Kingdom is very tense, and it has trained 300,000 central legions, and the annual financial revenue can only barely fill this hole, and it is simply unable to come up with a huge amount of money at one time to form a lion knight order.

Hearing that a group of lions had migrated to the vicinity, Richard's eyes lit up, and he decided to put aside other things and immediately mobilize people to capture them.

As a soldier in northern Xinjiang, every time he fights, he suffers from many harpies.

If a few griffins can be successfully captured and the contract is successful, Haaland's territory can also train a small team of griffon cavalry to suppress the reconnaissance strength of the harpy.

Suppressing the intelligence and reconnaissance of the Harpys is the key to winning the war.

Every general who fights with the orcs wants to gain an intelligence advantage and hide their strategic objectives. However, the orcs have harpy scouts, and the battlefield information of humans is almost unilaterally leaked to the orcs.

Because of this, it is difficult for the human army to figure out the direction of the orc's attack, so they can only use the most stupid way to divide their troops and defend it, using castles to consume the orcs, and the war is also very hard.

In order to capture the lion, Richard drew almost all the elite soldiers from the territory, formed a demon hunting team of more than 100 people, and once again entered the depths of the Eagle Mountains.

This year, Bonova and Ellijie successfully advanced to the mage, Connie failed to advance, plus a high-level apprentice advanced mage who transferred to the curse technique, and there are already ten official members of the Harland Mage Association.

Ten mages is enough to form a small mage group on the battlefield.

The army with the mage regiment can use all kinds of magical power on the battlefield, and often has the initiative on the battlefield, and when a dozen powerful greasy techniques, dense fog techniques, and spider web techniques are released, it will change the battlefield environment, and the impact on victory or defeat is very great.

The lethality of mages is weaker on the battlefield of thousands of people.

This time, in order to capture the lion, all ten magicians in the territory participated in the demon hunting team, and there were magicians involved, who could use various spell abilities to confuse the lion.

For example, when scouting information, magicians can use optical stealth.

When hiding themselves from being discovered by the Lionbirds, mid-level mages can also use group stealth. Low-level mages can also use psychedelic and foggy spells.

The lion crane can fly, even if it finds the lion's nest, it is also the lowest way to fight hard, the lion can fly, and there is a certain spell ability, and it is difficult to catch the lion bird by ordinary means.

Fighting against humans, flying monsters undoubtedly have the initiative on the battlefield. If the lion bird is bent on escaping, sometimes the legendary knight will stare dryly.

The best way to hunt Warcraft is always to set traps and use bait to catch them.

Compared to the vast majority of Warcraft, the advantage of humans is always intelligence. Relying on the power of wisdom and using various tools, even without extraordinary strength, humans can also hunt many magical beasts.

Before the wizarding era, ignorant humans also occupied the middle and upper layers of the food chain, by hunting some magical beasts, began to study the natural magic patterns on the monsters, and finally created the meditation method, and developed the wizarding civilization, which can build powerful floating cities, starfleets, and conquer the alien plane.

Relying on the power of intelligence, humanity has become the overlord of the Dawn Plane.

When it comes to hunting monsters, wisdom is the power that determines everything.

Through faint traces and clues, the demon hunters gradually approached the lion's lair.

Under the cover of magic, the scout carefully lurked and observed the movement of the lions, and after a day or two, he found that there were nineteen lions in the nest. Among them, there are thirteen adult lions and six juveniles.

The size of nineteen lions is already a relatively large population of lions, and if it were not for the abundance of products in the Eagle Mountains and the fact that there were enough animals nearby for lions to hunt, it would be difficult to form such a large population of lions.

Through observation, it was found that the female lions had laid seven or eight eggs, and most of the female lions were incubating their eggs in recent times, while the male lions were out hunting.

Seeing that the female griffin began to lay eggs, Richard was secretly happy in his heart, and immediately ordered to take out some fresh red blood grass and transplant it on the cliff about ten kilometers from the lion's nest.

Red Blood Grass can promote bloodline evolution, and it is very tempting for any magical beast.

Especially in the spawning period, the lion bird can enhance the blood strength of the offspring by swallowing the red blood grass.

Despite the high IQ of the lion, he still couldn't resist the temptation, and without finding any obvious traps, the male lion bird dug up the red blood grass and let the egg-laying female lion bird devour.

This time, Richard didn't do anything on the red blood grass, but after the female lion bird devoured the red blood grass, she needed to refine the power of the red blood grass immediately, and she couldn't move for a few hours.

In order to protect the female, the male does not dare to leave the nest.

In just a few hours, Richard was given the opportunity and time to capture the lion.

The lions' nests are built in natural caves on the cliffs, about 300 meters above the ground.

The cliffs are very steep and the rock walls are bare.

Even if you are a soldier who is good at climbing, it takes a long time to climb the cliff.

However, the demon hunting team are all professionals, have spell means, and their physical fitness is very outstanding.

Before capturing the lion, a lot of preparations were made.

Richard, Sophia, and Wendy are all mid-level magicians who can fly, and short-distance flying spells such as walking in the air.

Although the speed of human flight is slow, as long as the magic is strong, it can also fly to high places.

The three of Richard first unleashed their stealth spell, and then used their flying skills to fly to the top of the mountain, and fixed the rope on the top of the mountain, and before they were fully ready, they had already been discovered by the lion.

Seeing that the operation had been exposed, Richard nodded at Sophia and Wendy, and immediately launched a surprise attack on the lion's lair.

Richard was the first to strike, unleashing the Five Rings Mass Magic Death Cloud Technique.

Dead Cloud is a group attack magic that Richard has learned, which can release a large yellow-green cloud, which has a strong poison in the cloud, which can poison creatures within two points of constitution.

If the constitution exceeds two points, although it will not be directly poisoned, it will still be attacked by severe poison, and symptoms such as headache, cough, vomiting, and coma will occur.

Ordinary human soldiers basically do not have more than two points in physique. Use this spell to clean up miscellaneous soldiers, and the efficiency is very good.

The toxicity of the Death Cloud Technique can not only enter the body through breathing, but also poison from contact with the poison cloud. Holding your breath can reduce toxicity, but it can still be poisonous. The most suitable way to defend against this magic is enchantment spells.

The Lion Bird has inherited more than a dozen spells in its bloodline, but it does not use enchantment spells.

The female griffin has just devoured the red blood grass and is in the process of bloodline evolution, so she can't move for a short time.

Attacked by the Death Cloud Technique, all the female lions were poisoned.

The Lion Crane has a higher IQ and has developed a unique social structure and can also communicate in some short Warcraft language. After discovering that the female lion was in danger, the male lion bird did not choose to escape, but stayed by the female lion's side.

As a result of this choice, almost all the lions failed to escape.

Although the Lion's physique exceeds two points, it will also be more uncomfortable to be attacked by the Death Cloud Technique.

When the professionals at the bottom of the cliff climbed to the lair, the magicians released the spider web technique, and the warriors also threw out rope hooks, taking advantage of the numerical advantage, a group of more than a dozen people, everyone rushed up and caught all the lion birds that were not in a good state of poisoning.

Richard took out the magic slavery contract that had been prepared a long time ago, took the blood of the lion, Sophia arranged the magic array, and the two teamed up to successfully enslave the lion tribe and let all the lion birds sign the soul contract.

Although the Lion Crane has been contracted, it may take a long time to train the Lion Crane cavalry.

The Lion Crane is such a powerful magical beast that ordinary soldiers can't tame at all.

Riding on the back of the lion, you first need to get the recognition of the lion, and if you want the lion to be recognized, you not only need strong strength, but also need to get along for a long time.

A mature griffin cavalry, the lions are all cultivated from a young age, and after hatching, they live with human professionals, and gradually have a tacit understanding, so they will be willing to let human soldiers ride.

In order to facilitate communication with the lion and give full play to the lion's combat effectiveness, the lion rider also needs to understand the habits of the lion and learn the language of the lion.

Although the territory of Haaland captured the griffin, it still has to face many difficulties if it wants to establish a lion cavalry.

After returning to the territory with the Lion, Richard immediately dispatched more than 30 professionals to form the Lion Flying Squadron, and began to explore and learn the language of the Lion, try to communicate with the Lion, and start the training of the Lion Cavalry.

After returning to the territory, Richard immediately searched for a natural cave in the mountain and arranged a nest for the lion.

The lion is a natural lover and loves the feeling of being in the sky. If you don't fly for a long time, the lion will become irritable and aggressive.

This powerful flying monster doesn't like to stay in a cage very much. Even if Harland's territory uses magic items to control the soul of the lion through the enslavement magic contract, it will be difficult to change the character of the lion.

Therefore, the professionals of the Lion Crane Squadron can only temporarily live near the Lion Bird Cave and get along with the Lion Crane.

The griffin began to appear in the skies of Haaland's territory, and the news naturally could not be hidden from the hereditary nobles nearby.

In order to determine the truth of the news, many nobles appeared next to Haaland's territory to observe if any lions appeared.

The range of the lions is very large, and sometimes they will find the lions crossing the line, appearing over their territory, and occasionally hunting cattle and sheep, and many people have seen the lions with their own eyes.

After it was determined that the Haaland family had captured the Lionbird, the news spread faster and faster, reaching Nolan in less than a month.

Although the great nobles of the Grant Kingdom have contracted a few lions scattered, there is no large-scale lion knights.

Of the few nearby countries, only the Kingdom of Ryan has a Lion Knights of more than 300 people. Of course, the Kingdom of Grant also has a flying class, which is the Flying Golem Legion.

However, every time the flying golem is activated, a large amount of magic crystals need to be consumed, and the cost of refining the flying golem is very high, and the cost performance is not as good as that of the Lion Knights. The Grant Kingdom has only about eighty flying golems.

Eighty flying golems, placed on the 1,200-kilometer-long front line in northern Xinjiang, are simply not enough.

Upon hearing that the Haraland family had captured a flock of lions, King Roger immediately summoned the court officials.

"In the past few days, you should know the hottest news in the royal capital. Our Viscount Richard has captured a group of lions in the Eagle Mountains, is there a way for you to let Viscount Richard contribute the lions? ”

Before King Roger could finish speaking, the court baron Morris immediately replied: "Your Majesty, Viscount Richard has a very important position in the province of Geda, and he is a heavyweight nobleman, and forcing him to hand over the Lion Bird will cause a strong backlash from the Haaland family.

However, the aristocracy has always put interests first, and the royal family has the most resources. As long as the king is willing to give some, I think it can be exchanged with Viscount Richard. ”

King Roger nodded and said with a pleasant face, "What resources do you think can be exchanged?" ”

"The first is the breathing method, according to the information we have, the breathing method practiced by the army in the Haaland territory is mainly the silver wolf breathing method, and the second is the brute bull breathing method. These two breathing methods should not be complete, and we can provide a complete breathing method to exchange with the Haaland family.

The second is the potion resources, especially the Tenghui potion that consumes the most, and the Haaland family is relatively short.

The third is the magic crystal, there is a mage association in Haaland's territory, but there is no magic crystal mine in the territory, and the research and experiments of magicians are inseparable from the magic crystal.

Using these three regular resources, we can complement the Haraland family. Even if I can't get Viscount Richard to exchange all the Legions, I think there's a chance to exchange half. ”

Listening to Morris's eloquent talk, King Roger slapped the table and immediately said: "For the specific situation, I will discuss it with Viscount Richard in detail." I appoint you as a special envoy and give you full powers, you can decide for yourself below 300,000 gold coins, and all kinds of resources can be requisitioned from the three main army corps in Northern Xinjiang. My only requirement is that the population of the griffin is proportionate, and that it has the potential to be cultivated into a legion of griffins. ”
