From Baron's Second Son to Dragon Rider

"This horse is Zhuifeng, a Shire horse with a strong bloodline."

"Its parents were introduced from the Shire region of the Emerald Kingdom. It is said that its ancestors were intermediate magical beasts, sawtooth hornbears, which originally occupied the central Shire region."

Sawtooth hornbears are intermediate magical beasts with gold attributes and are herd-living creatures. Their combat power is comparable to that of the Great Knight of humans. They are irritable and aggressive, but the pure-blooded sawtooth hornbears have been exterminated. Now only war horses with some sawtooth hornbear bloodline exist in the Shire region.

Zhuifeng has a slender figure, a strong posture, smooth fur, and a healthy luster. Every line outlines the perfect combination of strength and speed.

The horse has a slender neck and beautiful lines, as if proudly showing its nobility and elegance.

This is also the characteristic of war horses in the Shire region, with long bodies and long legs.

"Zhuifeng is the fastest horse in the stable at present. Its four hooves are longer than those of the war horses in the Principality. It is the favorite war horse of the Dragon Breath Knights."

Jack introduced Zhuifeng to Krober very enthusiastically, with a tone full of pride and expectation.

He knew that Zhuifeng had great potential and was eager to find an excellent rider so that Zhuifeng could give full play to its outstanding ability on the battlefield.

Krober listened carefully to Jack's introduction and observed Zhuifeng carefully.

He had to admit that Zhuifeng was indeed an outstanding war horse. Whether it was its size, coat color or temperament, it showed its uniqueness.

In comparison, the red blood colt he bought from Frank before was slightly inferior. The red blood colt only had a little blood of low-level magic beasts, which was far inferior to Zhuifeng, who had most of the blood of sawtooth wildebeests in his body.

But he had also placed high hopes on that horse and named it Yaoguang, hoping that it could accompany him to become famous on the battlefield.

Yaoguang's shoulder height is about 1.3 meters, while Zhuifeng's is almost 1.5 meters. It is very appropriate to describe Zhuifeng as a "tall horse". Such a tall and mighty horse will undoubtedly give people a sense of power and majesty.

Although Zhuifeng is indeed very attractive, Kroeber still has a little hesitation in his heart.

Now that he has come here, he is more inclined to choose more.

After all, choosing a warhorse that suits you is not easy, and it requires careful consideration.

Because it is not only about personal honor, but also about life and death.

Therefore, Kroeber will never make a decision easily about choosing a warhorse partner who will accompany him on the battlefield.

Jack has been in Jinbao for more than 20 years and has learned to read people's expressions. He saw that Kroeber was moved but still did not speak, so he understood that Kroeber wanted to see more other warhorses.

So Jack took Kroeber to choose other unowned warhorses in the stable.

After much selection, Krober found that Zhuifeng was the one that best met his requirements, so he did not hesitate and directly chose Zhuifeng as his mount.

After completing the handover procedures, Zhuifeng, who had the blood of most of the intermediate-level magical beast Sawtooth Horned Horse, was successfully assigned to Krober. As long as he served for a full year, the ownership of Zhuifeng would also belong to him. Now, Krober only had the right to use Zhuifeng, and the nominal owner was still Grand Duke Veronica.

Jack carefully handed over two sets of well-made and exquisitely crafted saddles and warhorse robes to Krober. These were one of the benefits enjoyed by the Dragon Breath Knights - horse equipment specially equipped for the members.

In fact, according to common sense, the Dragon Breath Knights to which Krober belonged were heavy armored knights. Their warhorses not only needed to be covered with gorgeous robes, but also had to be equipped with solid iron or fine steel warhorse plate armor on the inside to enhance defense and combat effectiveness.

However, since the Dragon Breath Knights had almost no substantial combat missions on weekdays, those heavy and expensive horse armors were really not cost-effective for them.

In addition, for Grand Duke Veronica, as long as the warhorse was wearing a robe, it would look the same whether it was equipped with plate armor inside.

Therefore, she finally decided to cancel the configuration of the warhorse plate armor.

However, even if he really had these excellent warhorse plate armors, Krober would never think of equipping them on Zhuifeng under normal circumstances.

The reason was that the plate armor that Krober wore on weekdays was already extremely heavy. If another layer of warhorse plate armor was added on top of it, Zhuifeng would probably not be able to bear such a huge load to complete a long-distance raid-style fierce battle.

This is actually the dilemma faced by most heavy cavalry: although they have strong explosive power and can burst out amazing lethality in a short period of time, their endurance is relatively insufficient, and they can often only act as arrows and launch a round of fierce attacks before they lose their strength.

Clothes make the man, and saddles make the horse.

This saying is absolutely true.

Zhuifeng was already quite majestic, but after being equipped with a saddle, it was even more advanced.

However, Krober did not put the gorgeous robe on Zhuifeng.

At the moment, there is no task to be entangled, and if equipped, it will only add unnecessary burden.

It would be more appropriate to let Zhuifeng wear this warhorse robe when he officially starts working tomorrow.

Krober stared at the heroic and spirited Zhuifeng in front of him, his eyes full of deep love.

For any knight, it is difficult to resist the temptation of such an extraordinary warhorse, and Krober is no exception.

He knew that having such an outstanding horse as a mount would not only help him become famous on the battlefield, but also be a symbol of status and honor.

After all, in such a large principality, the only wealthy Grand Duke Veronica could provide his knights with horses with intermediate magical beast blood for free.

Krober had never met a marquis, but from the two earl families he had met, the horses assigned to their knights were only horses with low-level magical beast blood, and the blood concentration was extremely low, and it would be good to have 3%.

Ahem, mainly red blood horses from the Crescent Mushroom family.

The concentration of the sawtooth horn horse blood in Zhuifeng's body was about 45%, and the stable supervisor Jack also tactfully reminded him that he could feed Zhuifeng more magical beast blood and flesh to increase its success rate in breaking through low-level magical beasts.

In fact, about 60% of the mounts in the Dragon Breath Knights are low-level magic beasts, and most members will choose to invest some resources to help their mounts break through and become low-level magic beasts.

After all, low-level magic beasts have the strength to compete with formal knights, which is also a great help for them.

Generally speaking, when ordinary beasts successfully advance to low-level magic beasts, they can also awaken a mysterious magic power just like humans awaken fighting spirit in their bodies.

This magical power enables magic beasts to have the ability to perform powerful skills similar to fighting skills.

As a descendant of the sawtooth hornbear, if it is lucky enough to be promoted to a low-level magic beast, it is very likely to grow a unique sharp horn made entirely of gold elements. There is no doubt that this unicorn is the core of the unique skill that the sawtooth hornbear is famous for.

Specifically, the sawtooth hornbear will first condense its golden fighting spirit on the unicorn on its forehead, and then sprint towards the enemy like an arrow from a string.

In this process, they will use their sharp sawtooth horns to pierce the opponent's body with great impact force, and inject the extremely sharp golden magic into the enemy's body, causing heavy blows and damage to the opponent.

However, the success rate of beasts transforming into low-level magic beasts is much more difficult than that of humans breaking through to formal knights. Humans have magic potions to help, but beasts can only rely on luck to break through. If they eat more magic-rich ingredients in normal times, they can also increase some of the possibilities.

It is said that in the early days of the establishment of the principality, an unknown marquis once took the action of feeding war horses with the family's magic potions, but after investing a large amount of resources, he found that the magic potions did not help the transformation of war horses much, and it was better to eat some magic-rich magic beast meat.

At that time, a scholar had studied it. He said that the way war horses absorb energy is different from that of humans. To be more specific, the way humans absorb energy is more delicate, while war horses are more rough.

After listening to Jack's instructions, Krober left Zhuifeng in the stable. He still had to meet the steward of the outer castle and would need to deal with him a lot in the future.
