Elden: Ring of Calamity

Chapter 274 Giant Wolf Knight
"You mean the giant wolf our family bred?"

Lani tilted her head slightly and said: "You should also know that they are all descendants of the red wolf in Ladagan. There are less than 300 of them in total, and they are used as mounts for members of the royal family and high-ranking nobles. ”

"Less than three hundred?" Lucia was stunned when she heard this and couldn't help but rub her forehead.

Although the Kaliya Dynasty is unparalleled in the field of magic and is quite unique in the creation and application of various magical artifacts, their sensitivity and strategic sense on certain key issues are really hard to describe.
According to the historical records of the border area, the red wolf in Radagan has been following him since he was a boy. Although there are rumors that it is a heterogeneous individual of the dire wolf, Lucia is very convinced that the size, strength, intelligence and even the The innate level of magic is beyond the scope of conventional creatures.

As the "half body" of the Eternal Queen Malika, and one of the alternative vessels designated by the Supreme Will to replace Malika, Radagon obviously cannot be inferior to the Queen in all aspects of configuration. From this, he speculated, That red wolf was most likely the product of competition with the "Black Sword" Malikis.

Of course, for now, Radagan's own strength is not comparable to that of the Queen, and the red wolf naturally cannot be compared with the "black wolf". But if one day Radagan really replaces Malika as the container of the magic ring, then the The situation is uncertain.

Therefore, no matter what, that red wolf is now the top bloodline of wolf creatures in the entire border area, and its descendants are the top strategic resources unique to the Kaliya royal family.

According to Lani, those giant wolves are born with extremely high intelligence and loyalty. As long as they undergo a certain degree of training, they can master several basic pyroxene magics.

Just imagine what level of combat effectiveness an elite knight group of more than 5,000 people can exert if they are fully equipped with mounts of this level?

Putting aside the heroic combat power, at least the current main knights of the three major dynasties - the Rodel Knights, the Kaliya Royal Knights and the Storm Knights are by no means opponents in a showdown of the same scale.

But it was such an exclusive and monopolized out-of-print strategic resource that was suddenly turned into a pet by the royal family of Calia to show their status. Lucia almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.

However, this is probably a common problem among the Kaliya royal family. Let’s not mention the Full Moon Queen who is still ill. Although the three brothers and sisters Latan, Rakad and Lani are leading in their respective fields, they are all There is a slight lack of strategic vision at the macro level.

In the original timeline, Lani devoted most of her life to getting rid of the control of Two-Finger Beta, and had no intention of conquering the world. This is understandable - but Lakad and Latarn are a little unreasonable.

The former and the Volcano Serpent took advantage of each other, and finally lost themselves. The latter sits on the richest continent of Galid in the border area except Yatan. However, the Red Lion Knights under his command have always been among the direct troops of the demigods in terms of weapons and equipment. The poorest warriors can only rely on their refined martial arts and willpower to compete with the well-equipped knights.

From this perspective, Latan may be an outstanding general with great personal charm, and a perfect hero with wisdom, force and morality, but he is still not a good enough leader.

As long as one of these three was successful, it would not have allowed the evil-minded academy to take advantage of the situation after the Broken War. After putting the queen under house arrest, they joined forces with the Cuckoo Knights to march into Star-Moon City, almost bringing disaster to Calia.

Seeing Lucia's expression of hatred, Lani glared at him, puffed up her face and said, "What, you think you're too young?"

"It is indeed too few." Lucia had no intention of joking at this time and sighed, "With the current financial resources of the royal family, they should raise at least 30,000 wolves, and at the same time, they must train more than 15,000 wolves to coordinate with the giant wolves. The magic knight is the right one.”

The idea of ​​​​training a large number of wolf knights was not his sudden idea, but there were too many things that he had to worry about in the past three years, and the trusting relationship with Kallia did not develop to what it is today overnight. In the early years, there was no respect for Kaliya at all There is no room for comment on Asia’s internal affairs. But now the situation is different. Lucia has established a deep enough friendship with the Kaliya royal family and the Kaliya knights represented by Chief Mugram. After meeting Queen Lenara this time, the deal has been truly finalized. and Lani's future partnership.

Whether it was to establish an elite force capable of wiping out Gemel, or for the strategic security of the Western Continent in the coming decades, it was necessary for him to start influencing the domestic layout of Carlia.

Seeing Lucia's solemn attitude, in just a few seconds, Lani's mind turned to countless aspects. In a sense, this Princess of the Moon has always been the center of the three demigods of Calia. The most delicate being.

It's just that for the past many years, she has been living in the shadow of Beta, and she had to devote most of her intelligence to magic research with limited freedom.

After Beta Fu was executed, she once gained the long-lost freedom and happiness, and with Lucia by her side, she didn't want to think too much most of the time, and just listened to Lucia's arrangements for everything.

However, when Lucia clicked on this level, Lani immediately understood the hidden truth behind it.

"Has the situation become so serious?" There was a hint of darkness in her eyes, and she sighed softly: "I always feel like I have just stepped out of the sea to take a breath, and I am about to be swept into a new storm. It's really That’s bad enough.”

"It is indeed difficult to predict the future situation with certainty. Although things in the college appear to be very troublesome on the surface, they are basically just two factions fighting for power. It is not difficult to solve. The real complex problems are between Rodel and the North. Since the chaos It’s always good to take advantage of the short period of calm to accumulate more strength.”

Another thing that he couldn't put into words was that recently he felt more and more clearly that with the addition of him as a variable, the situation was increasingly heading towards a path that was completely different from the memory of his previous life.

He could not predict what Queen Malika would do after she regarded him as an "ally". On the other hand, the war in the north, which involved a group of new party military nobles and the Samir clan, always exuded a sense of uncertainty. A strange taste.

It was as if there was a blurry black shadow standing silently on the outside, quietly controlling every step of the situation, and already well prepared for the entry of external forces from the three dynasties.

But in today's border area, apart from Wu Hai, whom they knew almost nothing about, who else had the ability to launch such a grand game of chess?
Seeing Lani's somewhat depressed expression as she accompanied him, Lucia shook her head, gently held her in her arms, touched her dark red hair, and said, "Don't think so much about this. I just want to ask you about the general situation first, and then I will write a letter to discuss it in detail with your mother. "

"Giant Wolf Knights really need to be trained as soon as possible. If Kallia has no experience in training cavalry troops to charge in large groups, the Ancient Dragon Dynasty can send a group of high-level Storm Knights to assist. In addition, I also have to get a group from you. The brood wolf took it to Karen and used it as a mount reserve for the Gemir pioneering army.”

"Yes." Lani huddled in his arms and nodded muffled. After a moment, she raised her clear eyes to look at him and said, "Then what can I do?"

Lucia pondered for a long time and said softly: "Marlenia's side - Michaela is eighty-nine percent ready. In three months at most, we will start to completely seal the corruption for her."
