Chapter 103 The gryphon received
the trade mission from the Windrunner family and the Wildhammer dwarves, and the handover of the gryphon was successfully completed.
Then, we consulted on the details of the training of griffons and exchanged knowledge on animal taming techniques.
There are considerable differences in the beast-taming techniques mastered by elves and dwarves.
After mutual confirmation and discussion, both parties have achieved effective improvements in animal training skills.
Even if there is no gryphon, just the knowledge gained in animal taming is already very valuable!
Several core members of the Windrunner family happily returned to Quel'Thalas through the Elf Gate with their newly acquired gryphon pets.
The core part of the border level is an Elven Gate in the shape of a circular arch with vine patterns carved on its surface.
This elven gate is very ancient.
When the high elves completely defeated the forest trolls, they built this Elven Gate to establish the boundary of Quel'Thalas.
When humans gradually rose and expanded here, a trade hub was born.
Incoming goods are checked outside the door, and outgoing goods are checked inside the door, and then the entrance to the Elf Gate is opened for passage.
The opening and closing of the Elf Gate is accomplished by a magic ornament.
When the Elf Gate is closed, the energy of the magic barrier will connect with it to form an extremely solid whole.
Before the magic barrier is destroyed, the closed Elf Gate is invincible.
Of course, considering that the magic barrier was easily broken by Gul'dan, it would be a bit inappropriate to say he is invincible.
When the core members of the Windrunner family were preparing to leave, the rangers who were watching were booing and making sure to watch the gryphon test flight.
Powerful flying monsters like griffons are very rare except among the Wildhammer dwarves.
The rangers are very concerned about these four griffins that already belong to their side.
Compared to the Dragon Eagle, which can't even withstand weapons and armor, and whose passengers must be thin, the Griffin is definitely a crushing level.
When the Wildhammer dwarves sent the griffins over just now, they were wearing mail armor, with shields on their backs and war hammers hanging on their waists.
After looking at their fragile Dragon Eagle, the rangers immediately felt disgusted.
They were really looking forward to a powerful flying monster like the gryphon!
Lelessa looked at the rangers' enthusiastic and expectant eyes.
Although she was a little uneasy, she gritted her teeth and decided to give it a try.
Of course, the main thing was that Herad gave her a magic ornament with a slow fall spell.
If it does fall, it will not be life-threatening.
After communicating with the griffon through animal taming skills, she sat on the griffin's saddle smoothly.
First, she commanded the griffon to run around on the ground for two times. After feeling that there was no problem, Liresa decided to let the griffin fly.
The gryphon, who was in great shape, lived up to expectations.
First it takes a short run, then it flaps its huge wings and takes off into the air.
After flying several times in the sky, it landed smoothly on the ground.
Seeing that the test flight was successfully completed, the onlookers cheered.
It would be strange for them not to be excited when they think that they can own a gryphon within ten years or even less.
Herard was also very happy to see this scene.
You can fly smoothly the first time you get started. It seems that rangers who have mastered the art of taming animals are indeed suitable for riding griffins.
If it can be formed into an organized and equipped ranger unit, this will greatly improve the combat effectiveness!
And with the high elves having gryphons, they finally no longer have to envy the night elves for having hippogryphs.
The high elf version of the Gryphon Knight is definitely more powerful than the Hippogryph Knight!
After the four griffons showed around the main town, they began to serve delicious food and drinks in Fengxing Village.
In addition to being the fiefdom of the Windrunner family, it is also ideal for cultivating resources.
Fengxing Village is close to the west coast and has a well-developed offshore fishery.
There is also a large area of hills nearby, which is the largest pasture in Quel'Thalas.
Griffons like to hunt their own food, so being close to a pasture is undoubtedly the most suitable.
As for the loss of herdsmen, this does not need to be considered.
Because the livestock raised there are the assets of the Windrunner family.
Being eaten by a gryphon every few days is nothing.
However, it is necessary to establish a larger grazing scale.
After all, the current scale of grazing is planned based on the consumption of high elves.
Of course, this must be increased according to the number of griffins, and cannot be achieved in one step.
That would destroy the ecological environment of the pasture. Herard considered the changes that would need to be made to the ranch after the introduction of the griffons.
Then he began to think about his reward for the Wildhammer dwarves.
Their gryphons were already in place first.
Then the aerial bomb production line promised to them must be sent over as soon as possible.
Herard drove the magic rocket and made a trip in person, sending a few dwarfs and goblin engineers there first.
Although a lot of equipment has to be transported by sea.
The prototype of the production line in the early stage can be set up in advance.
Many supporting basic production facilities also need to be improved.
For example, the backward steelmaking facilities of more than two hundred years ago are still there.
In fact, the advantages of the Wildhammer dwarves are quite good!
They have a large number of shamans.
A large number of shamans joined forces to cast spells, summoning small pools of magma in the core area of the dungeon.
used to meet their metal smelting needs.
Small magma pools are only one-quarter the size of the medium-sized magma pools in Ironforge.
But such a small magma pool is enough.
A free steel-making furnace that never goes out, is there anything better than this?
Of course, compared with the foundry facilities of Chenfeng Arsenal, the gap is still very obvious!
The huge arcane energy provided by the Sunwell is also free to use.
The large arcane furnace in the foundry is capable of smelting rare minerals in large quantities.
The Dalaran mage looked at his small arcane furnace, cursed and walked away.
There are gaps everywhere, and there is nothing we can do about it!
On the terrace of the Tower of Windrunner, Herard imagined the arcane puppet warhorse in his mind.
The conversation between Lilas and his playmates suddenly triggered his inspiration.
These idle elf boys were watching griffins fishing.
The sight of the griffin swooping down to catch the big fish and then flying easily excited these elf teenagers.
"Wow, griffins are so cool!"
"When I get a griffon, I will definitely sell the chocobo."
"Of course! Who needs to run if they can fly?"
They just said it as a matter of course.
But why run when you can fly does sound reasonable.
How can a gryphon fly around like this while riding a horse on the ground?
Let’s put the speed difference aside for now.
Encountering rivers and canyons gives ground units a headache.
If you encounter a swamp and move forward in a muddy pond, it will definitely taste very sour!
If you don't do it well, you'll get stuck in it and never get out.
Let the Arcane Puppet ride an Arcane Puppet War Horse, obviously he is full and has nothing to do.
Herard decided to get the magic levitation technology, and then get a flying module to install on the arcane puppet.
When used to scare orcs, a flying ghost knight also makes sense.
Magical levitation technology is very common in games.
For example, the Lich King's aerial fortress Naxxramas, and Dalaran that flew up after the third destruction.
Many of the Blood Elf buildings are also suspended in the air.
However, no relevant technology has been found in reality.
Perhaps at this time, this technology has not yet appeared.
After all, the opening CG of the game makes it very clear.
Four years have passed since the Alliance and the Horde fought side by side to resist the invasion of the Burning Legion.
So at least twenty-four years after the Dark Portal opened.
With a time difference of nearly twenty years, it is no surprise that magical levitation technology was developed.
