I am a god in another world

With this base, he can turn it into a small air fortress that combines offense and defense, and directly carry out various air harassment and attacks on the enemy. It is definitely a disaster for those forces that lack defense capabilities.

Not to mention bows and arrows, even the power of crossbows is quite limited.

Even if it is a special ability to penetrate the protective arrows, there is still a thick layer of inflatable skin waiting here.

There is no need to say more about the ability to swallow whole. This is based on the biological structure of the cloud ray itself. It is one of its three major attack methods, the most powerful and the most difficult to use.

Even Gavin, who has combat armor to protect his body, is not interested in going around in its throat.

That is definitely not a good experience.

This kind of attack is not as simple as the damage shown in the data. In a place where there are teeth and muscles on all sides, the whole person is like being tied up, like being in a biological meat grinder.

Blood and flesh were everywhere. If the mouth and nose were blocked by mistake, it would become a suffocation attack, not to mention the horrible smell.

There are indeed fierce men who were swallowed by a huge monster like the cloud ray and then fought their way out alive, but only one in ten thousand succeeded. Most of them became food in the opponent's stomach and finally turned into a pile of poop.

In Gavin's hands, this can only be used as a means of feeding for this cloud ray in the future. Not to mention this ability, even the possibility of using the tail hammer is very small.

Armed cloud ray and wild cloud ray will be completely two concepts. The combat effectiveness of the cloud ray itself is secondary, and the attack is carried out by the weapons and troops that arm it.

In Gavin's view, the ability to float is the most valuable and potential of the cloud ray.

This ability makes the cloud ray fly very steadily. Standing on its back before was no more shaky than standing on a three-masted warship.

When the armed platform is installed on its back or hung on its abdomen, there will be no worry of capsizing.

Speed ​​is indeed the biggest shortcoming of this flying method.

But don't forget that this is only the cloud ray itself. When arming it, how could Gavin not consider this aspect of improvement?

After reading the detailed introduction of the floating ability, at least two directions emerged in Gavin's mind.

One is to install masts and sails on the cloud ray like a sailboat, fully utilize the power of the wind, and then match it with several spellcasters who are good at controlling the wind, continuously provide wind power, and naturally greatly increase the flight speed.

The other is the jet booster on the fighter.

It is not easy to click on the technology tree of this kind of high-tech equipment. After all, just the fuel alone is a headache.

There is oil in Furen, called black oil, but the application rate is extremely low. All intelligent creatures call it poisonous oil. The smoke from burning is poisonous. It is rarely used in daily life. Occasionally, it is used as a incendiary bomb in some wars.

Not to mention that oil extraction requires a lot of technology trees, those natural gods will never allow this industry to be developed on a large scale, and they cannot fail to foresee the pollution caused by large-scale use of oil.

Gavin's current thinking has changed. He no longer simply uses the thinking mode of the Earth or Faerun, but fully combines the two.

The Earth provides ideas, and Faerun's native magic finds solutions.

The same is true for jet boosters.

If magic is used to point to this kind of technology, there are many ideas.

For example, the most common mage method is to bind those powerful wind elements and let them provide endless wind power.

This one is ready-made in Faerun. The airship of the Mage Kingdom Halrua uses this method.

Another example is the black technology of the goblins. Vic has never stopped researching the barrel device. The power source problem is also the first problem he solved. He has now found a breakthrough in a weird direction.

He is running wildly towards the road of black technology.

However, that thing uses the power of the shadow, which is not only corrosive to organisms, but also the most puzzling thing is stability.

If there were any other possibilities, Gavin would not pin his hopes on this.

There is another direction that belongs to Gavin alone - the power of roads.

If a road statue is set on the back of the cloud ray, as long as someone offers a sufficiently pious prayer to it, the speed of the cloud ray will be greatly improved.

This is just the initial use. Just like this priesthood, there is still a huge room for exploration.

As mentioned before, it is useless to just build luxurious and convenient roads.

The update of transportation tools is also crucial. Only convenient transportation can further stimulate the development of transportation and long-distance trade.

The explosive development of logistics and e-commerce like the earth is unimaginable in a short time. After all, it has been accumulated for hundreds of years before all walks of life broke out.

There is one thing in Faerun that cannot catch up with the earth in hundreds of years - the number of humans.

Gavin only needs to do one thing, and the medium-level divine power cannot escape - use a huge road network to connect the large and small cities of Faerun.

In short, even if it is not for the cloud ray, Gavin will focus on exploring the ability of the power of roads to improve the speed of movement.

The initial movement speed of the cloud ray was not ideal, but its carrying capacity was definitely top-notch, as Gavin had just experienced.

Based on the strength attribute value, Gavin quickly calculated the theoretical load-bearing capacity of the cloud ray.

Light load is less than 50 tons, medium load is 50-100 tons, and heavy load is 100-150 tons.

Light load means that it has no effect on the creature itself and can sprint at full speed.

Medium load can have a certain impact on the creature, but it is not too serious. It can fly quickly, but there is no way to sprint at full speed.

Heavy load means that it will cause a serious load on the creature. It can only move at the basic speed, cannot run fast, and cannot sprint. It is easy to enter a state of fatigue.

The above value is the value after double blessing of divine power. Other creatures with the same 43 points of strength are half less.

But based on Gavin's previous personal experience, the load-bearing capacity of the cloud ray is definitely much higher than this theoretical data.

After all, this theoretical data is collected from human data and compared and calculated. It is applicable to most humanoid creatures, even those that are shrunk or enlarged.

But it is not very accurate for those animals and beasts, and it is usually higher than the theoretical data.

If it is placed on those magical beasts, especially the rare and unique magical monsters, there are often serious deviations and it can only be used as a reference.

This is the case with the cloud ray. After all, it does not fly, but uses its own unique structure to float.

The load-bearing capacity is not only related to strength, but also to body size. The larger the body size, the more cloud ray energy contained in the body, and the greater the weight it can bear.

In terms of body size, this cloud ray is definitely the top one, close to the super giant peak, at least more than 35 meters from head to tail, and the wings are the same size.

Previously, Gavin pushed the war predator to more than 200 tons, and the cloud ray reacted.

In other words, the maximum load of the cloud ray is at least 300 tons. Don't forget that there is also the Wu Liu super-state complete body, and its weight is not low.

The floating characteristics of the cloud ray make it not too obvious to distinguish between light and heavy loads. After all, it is the cloud ray energy that maintains floating, and no additional consumption is required. It is nothing more than more movement resistance caused by the large amount.

Even if it is calculated at 300 tons, the carrying capacity of a cloud ray can match that of 50 tower-type chariots of the Conqueror Army, and can carry a heavily armed heavy infantry corps (2,000 people) - the premise is that the armed platform made by the cloud ray can accommodate so many people at one time.

Its role is not limited to heavy bombers, but can also be used as an air strike transport aircraft, which does not require parachuting. The cloud ray does not need an airport. It only takes less than a minute to land from a height of 10,000 meters.

And this is not the limit. When it comes to arming, how could Gavin not consider using magic to enhance its ability in this aspect?

Not to mention the color camouflage ability, which is a built-in stealth ability. Before there is a corresponding radar or special magic, the possibility of discovering it in the sky with the naked eye alone is greatly reduced.

Although this cloud ray has no wisdom, it is the most practical in terms of ability selection, such as the power instead of spirit and multiple control.

Without the enhancement of these two special abilities, the telekinesis ability of the cloud ray would not be so strong. At best, it would be amazing if it could lift something weighing a hundred kilograms.

Its unique ability to attack the mind should also be another use of force instead of spirit. After all, there are many large creatures, but few can use the body as a fortress for their souls.

The control weight of one and a half tons and the control distance of more than 150 meters are equivalent to letting the cloud ray carry a small crane to assist in many tasks that are inconvenient for manpower.

After reading the properties of the cloud ray, Gavin made up his mind to increase the search for wild cloud rays and master as many of these strategic weapons as possible before it makes a shocking appearance.

"Success?" Seeing the joy that Gavin couldn't hide on his face, Sanoba couldn't help but ask hurriedly.

"Success." Gavin took off the bracelet that was a little different and threw it directly to Sanoba, saying, "Next, treat her well, just like treating family members. Her value is higher than I expected."

Gavin himself has the ability to communicate with animals and plants, and it doesn't matter whether he has this cloud ray command bracelet or not.

After all, this kind of magic is only a subtle influence, not a direct control, and the cloud ray's own memory is not affected.

"Don't worry, I will assign a team of dragon blood kobolds to serve it specifically, and definitely make it inseparable from us." Although Sanoba did not have a clear concept of the strategic value of the cloud ray.

But she believed in Gavin. Since he spent a lot of energy on this matter, the result must be extraordinary, just like he did in the past.

"I still have a promise to fulfill. You stay here and continue to treat it to increase the feelings of both sides." Gavin threw the work of treating the cloud ray to Sanoba.

The cloud ray has another fatal flaw, that is, the floating speed is too slow. After all, it is not really flying, but inflating itself-inflating the cloud ray gas that is lighter than air.

It is easy to expel the energy of the cloud ray, but it takes time to generate it.

It is not a big deal in daily life, but in wartime, once it lands, it will easily become a live target for long-range attacks from the ground. Therefore, it is necessary to be cautious when using airborne tactics. It is best to choose those hilltops for airdrops. There is no need to land completely. If you encounter danger, you can just fly away.

…

"Quick, quick, quick, quick... We are about to reach the foot of the mountain. After we get off the mountain, we will run separately. If one escapes, we will get our money back. If two escape, we will make a profit. If all three escape, we will be rich..."

"Remember, go directly into the dense forest, and after running a distance, use the shadow cloak to hide. Don't, don't go along the Conqueror's Road. The other party is the Conqueror. This road is full of his spies. We may be discovered as soon as we set foot on this road."

"After being caught, don't try to resist. Hand over the cloud ray egg obediently to save your life. Those who escape should not go to any of our previous contact points to prevent being traced. Hide for two years and wait until the storm is over. Those who are caught can only blame their bad luck."

After the three thieves put the cloud ray egg into the life-sustaining dimension bag, they jumped directly from the Giant Peak without stopping for a moment.

Of course, they were not desperate, but they had prepared their escape equipment. After falling for a while, their limbs immediately spread out in a big letter shape, and a thin layer of leather wings spread out between their ribs and legs. It was a glider suit.

As they glided in the air at high speed, they quickly discussed strategies.

Now their focus was no longer on the victim, the cloud ray, but on the owner of the flying dragon group, the strong man who was suspected to be the conqueror.

The other party was likely to come for the cloud ray's eggs with the same purpose as them.

Their current behavior was equivalent to snatching food from the tiger's mouth.

But there was no such thing as spitting out the meat in the mouth.

As for the risk?

As a thief, which day is not dancing with risk? Which action is not walking on a tightrope?

If they did not have enough gambling, how could they dare to aim at the cloud ray and think of hitting its eggs with their strength that had just entered the extraordinary.

As the thieves say, the best thieves in the world are not those who are strong, but those who have not been caught.

"I underestimated you a little bit. You even put on gliding suits. Can I ask where did you buy your gliding suits? Why haven't I seen them in the market before?"

The fourth voice sounded beside the three thieves, and a pair of huge dragon wings spread out, gliding with them.

The three thieves felt their foreheads buzzing, and they couldn't help but curse in their hearts.

When did the other party catch up? How did they do it?

They were very confident in their gliding speed, which was quite amazing with the help of falling and wind speed.

Moreover, their route was not fixed, but completely determined by the ups and downs of the mountain. It was more difficult to intercept and difficult to predict.

But it was an indisputable fact that the other party was right beside them.

The half-elf thief in the lead shouted: "Go separately."

After saying that, he turned to one side and left the team directly, preparing to go directly over the ridge and enter the other side.

The other two thieves understood and flew in different directions.

Their tactics were simple. There were three of them, but only one pursuer.

No matter which one the other party chased, the chances of the other two escaping would increase significantly, and the one who was targeted could only consider himself unlucky.

"Without my permission, you can't go anywhere, come back."

They were quick-witted and their tactics were brilliant.

But the opponents they faced were not ordinary people, and their methods were beyond their imagination.

Before they glided far, they felt an invisible big hand in the air pulling them, and easily adjusted their direction.

Gliding is different from flying. They have no power source. Even if the membrane under their arms is shaped like a leather wing, they dare not flap it easily, otherwise they will fall from the air.

They only dare to glide by slightly adjusting their posture, affecting the shape of the membrane, and using external forces.

This naturally makes them susceptible to external forces. This traction and dragging force does not need to be too large to easily control their direction.

This is not even a psychic ability, it is the hand of the entry-level magician of the wizard, the kind that many powerful wizards can use at will.

After trying several times in a row and failing to get rid of this control, the half-elf thief decisively begged for mercy: "Master Conqueror, we are willing to return the cloud ray egg, and please forgive our reckless behavior. After all, before this, we didn't know that you also targeted the cloud ray."

This person is a character, proficient in the principle of stopping losses in time. It is better to take the initiative to admit his mistakes and return the cloud ray eggs than to be captured and stripped of everything.

As long as their lives and equipment are still there, at most even if this mission fails, they can make other plans and come back.

"Oh? How did you recognize my identity?" Gavin asked curiously.

"Your War Reaver, a war hammer that can become so huge, is probably the only one in the whole of Faerun." The half-elf thief answered truthfully.

"I see. Thank you for your help. We'll talk about the rest after we land." Gavin did not make any substantive promises.

"Okay." The half-elf thief responded readily, and at the same time said to his two companions, "Don't mess around. Obey the orders of the conqueror. He is not a cruel person and will not harm us because of our innocent mistakes."

It's better to say that he was trying to put a hat on Gavin and find a way out for himself than to persuade his companions.

Because things have developed to this point, they can only pin their hopes on the other party's thoughts.

"Understood." The other two thieves responded.

It is not known whether the influence of this half-elf thief among them is enough, or whether the flying dragons that have been chasing like a flock of birds have enough deterrent power.

The three thieves then cooperated with Gavin to glide and land in a mountain stream.
