Just being a dark elf in Warhammer

Chapter 757 608 Huhu and the Horse (Part 2)

At this moment, the big guy was eating happily, eating wildly and violently. He bit the meat with his sharp teeth and tore it hard. The meat was torn apart instantly, making a chilling tearing sound. As for the muscle fibers that should have been there...

Then, he raised his neck and threw the torn piece of meat into his mouth, chewing it with a crunching sound, but there was no sound of small bones being bitten, nor was there a picture of gravy splashing.

"What a wild guy." Liv muttered in a low voice.

"How are you guys?" Dakuus asked after seeing Ryan and Alyssa approaching.

Ryan has a mount that belongs to him alone, a cold lizard subspecies, a dilophosaurus blessed by Huangqi that can spray poison. He is unshakable and feeds it every day. The daily maintenance of the dilophosaurus is even more of a piece of cake. I don't know how Elmir, who has been away for a long time, will react when he sees him treating the dilophosaurus like this. The reason why Alyssa was not there just now was that she went to feed the dilophosaurus with him, and by the way, she had a little talk between the brothers and sisters.

Ryan raised his head to the big guy eating, and then spread his hands with the sound of the big guy chewing.

Darkius nodded, as if there was really no problem? He did not sense the big guy's confusion. Maybe the big guy didn't care about whether it was raw or cold? Whatever was available? It was fine as long as it was meat. When he was in Elsing Alvin, the ratmen and beastmen had eaten it.

Life is a process of constantly slapping faces, and the elves are the same, and the elves live longer, get hit more and louder.

Darkius is even more so as an elf.

Not all citizens of Night City know that what they call "meat" actually comes from protein farms. Whether it is the "beef" ramen in the Kabuki District market, the lamb kebabs in Westbrook, or the hamburgers in Heywood, they all come from farms.

Most "meat" products come from large-scale farmed insects, which are ground and made into something like meat called "paste". Afterwards, the products made of the paste were packed and shipped away, and then injected with various pigments and MSG, which became a rich and diverse product on the market. After all, if you want to make insects grow "like cows", the cost is still very low.

Pure technology and hard work.

Daquus refused at first, thinking that it was unnecessary, too difficult, and too risky.

When Celile, who came back from the Huangqi Temple, shared with him the daily food intake of the cold lizards of the Ebon Claw, and Kalyon shared with him the daily consumption of the giant beasts in the underground of the family castle, he carefully calculated and found that... the supply pressure was too great.

If it is fully rolled out, chicken, beef, mutton and fish are not enough for the Duruchi giant beasts. This is still the Duruchi giant beast. There are so many Duruchi, a large number of elf war horses and more than 20 red dragons. The lizardmen in the north also have giant beasts and need to be taken care of.

When he was in La Plata, he held a meeting and after some research, he found that it was really impossible to cultivate hydroponic meat using mammalian cells. Finally, it was decided that Master Wu would take the lead, and the Feibo Garden and the priests of Val would help. They would start with the insect breeding technology that the Lizardmen were proud of, and breed crickets and earthworms on a large scale.

Insects are an ideal source of protein because they take up less resources and reproduce quickly. After being improved, they are artificially bred in specially designed high-density facilities. The feeding system needs to be artificial, mainly to optimize the cleaning system.

Mature insects will be collected and initially cleaned and sterilized to remove surface dirt and possible pathogens. Then they are mechanically crushed into a paste, and the crushed paste is filtered and purified to extract pure protein and nutrients, and unnecessary impurities are removed as much as possible. Finally, the paste is put into a mold to make "meat blocks".

After this part, it stopped. After all, it is not on the elves' table. The paste has no blood, no muscle fiber, no bones, and even no taste... There is no seasoning, chemical additives, pigments, and MSG. It is not that hard work, and it needs to continue research and development and upgrade equipment and technology.

This is also the reason why he didn't do the obedience test last night, he was afraid that the elves would beat him up together. Others don't know, anyway, he must have an opinion on eating this kind of food at the banquet, a big and strong opinion.

He hasn't eaten it, but he can imagine what it tastes like. It feels like eating plastic, although he hasn't eaten plastic either. If it doesn't taste good, sprinkle some seasoning?

After the big guy finished eating, he found that there was indeed no problem. He jumped in and played with the big guy for a while. After a long time, he cleverly avoided the big guy's retention, waved to the big guy and left.

Then, several people gathered in a circle, staring at each other, and finally looked at Dacus in unison, waiting for him to speak.

"Do you want to add some... salt?" After seeing the look Dacus gave him, Ryan said tentatively.

"Did you eat just now?" Dacus looked at Ryan with a funny expression.

"No! I haven't even had breakfast!" Ryan shook his head and denied it firmly.

Darkus looked at the cart in the distance. He really didn't have the courage to eat it, even if it was just a small piece or a small strip. He didn't want to ruin his good mood for the day by tasting the porridge.

"Add some salt!"

Finally, Darkus made a decision.

The Lustrian giants are divided into carnivores and omnivores. The carnivores are represented by Tyrannosaurus and Cold Lizard, and the omnivores are represented by Triceratops and Ankylosaurus. The drukid behemoths are all carnivores. He is not worried about the Lustrian giant beasts for the time being. The lizardmen can handle them well and they haven't reached their peak yet. Mainly the Druchi behemoths and elf war horses.

He has no shortage of salt. The Great Salt Lake in Salta Province is there. In addition to providing the behemoth with essential nutrients, the goo needs to be preserved when transported from Ashriel to Naggaroth.

"After the festival is over, let Asriel's war horse try it too." Then he added.

The ancient horse originated from two places, one is the grassland of Ulthuan, which is now the Kingdom of Elion, and the other is the eastern grassland.

The Eastern Steppes, also known as the Great Steppes or the Endless Steppes, is a geographical area in the Far East of the known world. It consists of a series of plateaus, rocky protrusions, ridges and grasslands, covered with grassland and sparse forest, and has a cool and pleasant climate.

The prairie has cold winters, but the climate is warm enough to support the growth of trees and grasses. To the north lies the twisted wasteland of Chaos, and to the south lies a vast, uninhabitable desert. To the southeast, the steppe is adjacent to Cathay, and to the west, it is adjacent to the northeastern part of Kislev, which is the medieval version of the steppe highway.

Endless stretches of open grassland, occasionally dotted with stunted trees or black stone monuments erected to commemorate the deaths of great Chaos Warriors. Endless fighting takes place every day on the grassland. Thousands of nomadic warriors on horseback fight across the area. In order to continue the tribal vendetta for generations, the grassland is dyed bright red. This desolate and empty land contains everything from savage human tribes to green-skinned warlords. There is no day without bloodshed.

The origins of the horses used by Araby, Kislev, the Empire, Cathay and the Servants of Chaos can basically be traced back to the eastern steppes. This kind of horse is smaller in size, but has a stronger tolerance to harsh conditions such as hunger. Later, it passed through Housing feeding and selective breeding, let a hundred flowers bloom.

In the words of the Imperial guy: Bretonnians like to boast about their war horses, thinking that they are one of the best in the world, but the Empire's horses can definitely compete with them. The Empire's war horses are large and battle-tested, capable of charging into battle without panic while carrying heavily armored knights. This is certainly no accident, because such war horses are carefully bred for battlefields where flesh and blood and magic are everywhere.

As for the explosive code, it is still sour, or something else...

Bretonnia... The treatment of Bretonnian warhorses is extremely good, even higher than that of their relatives in Ulthuan, Naggaroth, Athel Loren and Lauren Loren. In Bretonnia, in terms of living standards, war horses are much higher than those of farmers. They are rated with the masters, and some are even higher than the masters. The best war horses in the royal stables enjoy more enjoyment than the masters who ride them. Good, but living a luxurious life also comes with some side effects.

However, this is nothing. The height, speed, and endurance that can continue to travel for weeks make the Bretonnian war horse so versatile. This does not include the extremely strong load capacity. The knight's weight, armor and plate vest all have weight. This is why the knight restricts exports.

Bretonnian war horses are still hybrid horses, but when it comes to elves, the elven war horses are even more outrageous.

The legends and history of elves are very particular. The fire dragons have their ancestor Dragunir, and the giant eagles also have their ancestor "King of Eagles" Tarien. When it comes to war horses, there is no reason why there is no such thing as "Father of Horses" Korhal Deere.

Elven war horses originated in the grasslands of Ulthuan, and although war horses can be seen in all the kingdoms on the island, the best horses still come from the grasslands of the Kingdom of Arion.

A crystal bridge across the Airil River in the southwest of Tal Airil is named "Khadir's Leap". The entire grassland has a pleasant climate, with warm summers and mild winters, and groups of horses gallop freely. Thanks to magic, this grassland is rich in pasture, making Erion's horse the fastest and most noble of all four-legged running creatures in the world.

In short, the Elf War Horse has all its advantages, so just brag about it. Noble, intelligent, swift, elegant and beautiful, its agility far exceeds that of horses used by other mortal races. After training, it is even faster, more agile and cunning. Their trust in their masters is so deep that they can charge into battle without fear from the knight, without any verbal instructions from the knight.

Gradually, the war horses bred in Ulthuan showed different talents. Cosqui's war horses can fight on the deck; Saffrey's war horses are considered arrogant and temperamental by other war horses. Their fur is soft and silky, and they have the ability to fight on the deck. Residual magic; Elion's warhorse leaves no trace as it travels, can find its way back to Elion anywhere in Ulthuan, and can communicate telepathically with its rider.

Not only Ulthuan, but war horses in other places also show different talents. The war horses of Athel Loren and Lauren Loren have woodland adaptability and can run in the woodland instead of running and hitting trees. Go up and stage a scene of waiting for the horse.

The war horse of Nagaros is a variant bred by Druch, and is called the dark horse. Its talent is cruelty and cold-blooded, and its expression is violent. It has very strong attack power and can bite and kick. In addition, when it comes to eating meat, you can eat whatever meat is available, whether it is raw or cold. The poor place in Nagaroth, especially the north, is difficult to see grass, let alone eat grass.

In terms of raising methods, all elf war horses are not raised in stables like humans. Elves tend to be raised in the form of herding, from Druchi to Aslay.

This is even more true in Asheril. Although there are no cows, sheep, or horses everywhere in Rosario Province, you can still see dark riders grazing after a while. In addition to grazing, dark riders are also responsible for guarding the coastline, filling the gaps of patrol boats, and preventing the Asur from stealing horses in the opposite direction, replicating what Duruchi did in the Kingdom of Elion.

The composition of Rosario's war horses is very complex. A large part of them is brought from Naggaroth; some are gradually brought from the hair of the King of Elion, and these hair war horses are also included in the investment cost.

In Kavalok in Athel Loren, Indra prepared to give Dakwus a war horse. She said that this was the best war horse in Kavalok and one of the direct descendants of Khadir, the "Father of Ten Thousand Horses". She wanted to give the war horse to Dakwus as a gift.

But Dakwus refused. He didn't ride a horse either. He was usually accompanied by a big guy. When necessary, he also had Splintwin, and when he was in Asheril, he had the god Ha. However, he asked Indra for a batch of high-quality black war horses and stallions.

It is hard to say what talents Asheril's war horses will show in a few years. Anyway, they eat meat now. In addition to meat and grass, war horses also eat salt, alfalfa, grains, beans and other concentrated feeds rich in energy and protein.

In his opinion, it is good for war horses to eat meat. It is not a bad thing, but a good thing. The digestive system of horses cannot effectively absorb the nutrients in grass like ruminants. Meat may be a good supplement. Elven war horses are against the sky, but they are not out of the category of horses. They should still eat. They must eat well during war and before war.

So, he decided to let the war horses try it first, cut the porridge into pieces and mix it with concentrated feed...

After Master Wu woke up, he thought about modifying the genes of war horses. Benchmarking the world next door, turning odd-toed ungulates into even-toed ungulates, they can effortlessly cross trenches, gallop at high speeds in complex terrain, are taller than ordinary horses, have almost no hair, no tail, no mane, only short manes that do not need to be taken care of.

But he finally gave up. He calculated that if the army maintained 800,000, there would be 130 legions, and 1 legion would need 2,400 war horses and pack horses. In addition to other departments, the Imperial Order Black Knights, the Navy, etc., Drucci's peak demand for war horses is 350,000, and he has to make a surplus of 50,000 to ensure replenishment.

Fortunately, the account is not calculated in this way, just like San Dezi has waves, just like the A and B of a certain island, the central and miscellaneous brands of a certain captain, in theory, the equipment configuration of fists and elites is the best, but... San Dezi has its own characteristics, and no extension is made.

However, the waves of San Dezi's infantry divisions can be used as a reference. Before swinging the sickle, the three-dimensionality of the first four waves of infantry divisions was very amazing. In the later period, several infantry divisions at the front of the wave still did not lose out in the fierce battle in Kurland, and achieved a very high exchange ratio.

It was not much different on the side of Duruchi. The large army formed in the early stage must be elite, the fist among fists, the main force of the decisive battle, and the later... the more... until the security division and the public security division. Specifically, he planned to discuss with Malekith after returning. No matter how he fought, he would be in charge of logistics. As long as he survived the King's Landing of Ulthuan, the elf society would not need so many horses by then.

"What are your plans for a while?" After the vague question, Dacuus asked casually. Seeing that everyone's eyes were looking at him again, he pointed in the direction of the pier, "Then let's go for a walk?"

After meeting with the Aisha believers in La Plata, the group set off in a mighty manner, just like they were really shopping, but their main purpose was to take the Enil and Aslai who came out of Lauren Loren and Athel Loren to stroll around and feel the different cultural atmosphere.

In fact, it was meaningless. Without disguise, they moved as if they were carrying a retreat halo. No one was seen wherever they went. The street clearing effect was off the charts. Except for the garrisons on rest, the garrisons on guard, and the service personnel, the other Duruchi had already run away and did not line up. Only a few who had already lined up did not run away, and they were trembling with respect.

Usually, everyone got along with each other, and it felt nothing, just like the cold lizards. Except for the extremely intelligent subspecies, the cold lizards looked at their own kind as if they were fools, and looked at the small bean sprouts on their backs as if they were fools. During the Duruchi civil war, my mind was full of questions, how did fools fight fools?

But what about an ordinary person or a soldier? Looking at a fully armed, armed to the teeth cold lizard knight in front of him holding a spear, riding a cold lizard covered with lizard armor and baring his teeth, what would that feel like.

Finally, after buying a lot of food, the group chose to stay under a relatively hidden shed and wait for the arrival of the afternoon game. (End of this chapter)
