Gou is a dark elf in Warhammer

The big guy was enjoying his meal at the moment, and his eating was wild and rough. He bit the meat with his sharp teeth and tore it hard. The meat was torn apart instantly, making a terrifying tearing sound. As for the muscle fibers that should have been there...

Then he tilted his neck back and threw the large piece of meat into his mouth, chewing it with a crunching sound, but there was no sound of tiny bones being crushed, nor was there any scene of meat juice splashing.

"What a wild fellow," Liv muttered.

"How are things over there?" Daxus 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 spit poison. He feeds it every day and takes care of the dilophosaurus. He doesn't know how Elmir, who has been away for a long time, will react when he sees him treat the dilophosaurus like this. The reason why Alyssa was not there just now was to go with him to feed the dilophosaurus and have a little chat between the siblings.

Ryan raised his head towards the big guy who was eating, and then spread out his hands as the big guy chewed.

Dacus 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 was fine. As long as it was meat, the ratmen and beastmen had eaten it when they were in Elsing Alvin.

Life is a process of constantly getting slapped in the face. The same is true for elves, but elves live longer and get hit more and louder.

This is especially true for Dacus as an elf.

Not all citizens of Night City know that what they call "meat" actually comes from protein farms. Whether it's the "beef" ramen at 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 into a meat-like substance called "paste." The paste is then packaged and shipped away, and then injected with various coloring and flavoring to become the rich and diverse products on the market. After all, it is still very cheap to make insects grow "like cows."

Pure technology and hard work.

At first, Daxus refused, thinking it was unnecessary, too difficult and too risky.

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

If it is fully deployed, chicken, beef, mutton and fish will not be enough to compete with the Duruchi behemoths. And these are the Duruchi behemoths. There are still so many Duruchi, a large number of elven war horses and more than twenty red dragons. The lizardmen in the north also have behemoths and need to be taken care of as well.

When he was in La Plata, he held a meeting and after some research, he found that it was really impossible to use mammalian cells to cultivate hydroponic meat. In the end, it was decided that Master Wu would take the lead, and the Emerald Garden and the Val priests would help, starting with the insect breeding technology that the Lizardmen were proud of, and breeding 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 modified, they are artificially raised in specially designed high-density facilities. The feeding system needs to be artificial, mainly to optimize the cleaning system.

The mature insects are collected and initially cleaned and sterilized to remove dirt and possible pathogens on the surface. They are then mechanically crushed into a paste, which is then filtered and purified to extract pure protein and nutrients, removing as much unnecessary impurities as possible, and finally put into a mold to make the paste into "meat cubes".

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

This was also the reason why he didn't do the obedience test last night, he was afraid that the elves would unite and beat him up. Others didn't know, but he would definitely have a big, strong opinion if he ate this kind of food at the banquet.

He has never eaten it, but he can imagine what it tastes like. It feels like eating plastic, although he has never eaten plastic either. If it really has no taste, why not sprinkle some seasoning on it?

After the big guy finished eating and 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 attempts to keep him, waved to him and left.

Afterwards, several people gathered in a circle, staring at each other, and finally looked at Daxus in unison, waiting for his words.

"Do you want to add some...salt?" Ryan asked tentatively after seeing the look in Daxus's eyes.

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

"No! I haven't even had breakfast!" Ryan quickly shook his head, firmly denying it.

Daxus 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 just by tasting the porridge.

“Add some salt!”

Finally, Dacus made his decision.

The Lustrian behemoths are divided into carnivorous and omnivorous. The carnivorous ones are represented by Tyrannosaurus and Cold Lizard, and the omnivorous ones are represented by Triceratops and Ankylosaur. The Druki behemoths are all carnivorous. He is not worried about the Lustrian behemoths for the time being. The Lizardmen can handle it well. It has not reached its peak yet. The main concern is the Druki behemoths and the Elven Warhorses.

Salt, he has no shortage of it, the Great Salt Lake in Salta Province is there. In addition to providing the necessary nutrition for the behemoth, the salt from Asheril needs to be preserved in Naggaroth.

"After the festival is over, let Asheril's warhorse try it as well." He then added.

Ancient horses originated from two places, one is the grasslands of Ulthuan, which is now the Kingdom of Arion, and the other is the eastern grasslands.

The Eastern Steppe, also known as the Great Steppe or the Endless Steppe, is a geographical region in the far east of the known world. It consists of a series of plateaus, rocky prominences, ridges, and grasslands covered with grasses and sparse forests, with a cool and pleasant climate.

The Steppes have cold winters, but the climate is warm enough to support the growth of trees and grasses. It borders the twisting wastes of Chaos to the north, and the vast, uninhabitable desert to the south. To the southeast, the Steppes border Cathay, and to the west, northeastern Kislev, a medieval version of the Steppe Highway. Endless expanses of empty grassland are occasionally dotted with stunted trees or black stone tablets erected to commemorate the deaths of great Chaos warriors. The Steppes are the scene of endless fighting every day, as thousands of nomadic warriors on horseback crisscross the area, dyeing the grasslands bright red in order to continue generations of tribal feuds. This desolate and empty land contains everything from savage human tribes to greenskin warlords, and no day is without bloodshed.

The origins of the horses used by Araby, Kislev, the Empire, Cathay and the Chaos Servants can basically be traced back to the eastern steppes. These horses are smaller in size but have a stronger tolerance to harsh conditions such as hunger. They were then raised in stables and bred, and flourished.

To paraphrase the Imperials: Bretonnians like to boast about their warhorses, believing them to be among the finest in the world, but Imperial horses are certainly comparable. Imperial warhorses are large, battle-hardened, and can carry heavily armored knights without panic. This is no accident, of course, as such horses are carefully bred for battlefields of blood, flesh, and magic.

As for the explosion, or sourness, or something else...

Well, Bretonnia… Bretonnian warhorses are treated extremely well, even better than their relatives in Ulthuan, Naggaroth, Athel Loren, and Lauren Loren. In Bretonnia, the standard of living for warhorses is far higher than that of old peasants, and they are rated with the masters, and some are even higher than the masters. The best warhorses in the royal stables enjoy better treatment than the masters who ride them, but the luxurious life also brings some side effects.

However, this is not a problem. The height, speed, and endurance of being able to march for weeks make the Bretonnian warhorse so versatile. This is not to mention the extremely strong load-bearing capacity. The weight of the knight, armor, and plate armor are all heavy, which is why the knights restrict exports.

The Bretonnian warhorse is a mixed-blood horse, but when it comes to the elves, the elven warhorse is even more amazing.

The legends and history of the elves are very detailed. The fire dragons have their ancestor Dragnir, and the giant eagles also have their ancestor, the "King of Eagles" Talion. When it comes to war horses, there is no reason not to have the "Father of Ten Thousand Horses" Khaldir.

The Elven Warhorse originated from the grasslands of Ulthuan, and although Warhorses can be found in all the kingdoms of the isle, the finest horses are still bred in the grasslands of Arrion.

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

In short, elven war horses are full of advantages. Noble, intelligent, swift, elegant and beautiful, their agility far exceeds that of horses used by other mortal races, and after training, they are even faster, more flexible and cunning. Their deep trust in their masters allows them to charge into the battlefield fearlessly without the need for verbal instructions from the knights.

Gradually, the warhorses bred in Ulthuan showed different talents. Cosqui's horses could fight on deck; Saphire's horses were considered arrogant and temperamental by other horses. Their fur was soft and smooth and had residual magic; Arion's horses left no traces while moving, could find their way back to Arion from anywhere in Ulthuan, and could also communicate telepathically with their riders.

Not only in Ulthuan, 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 woods, instead of running and bumping into trees, playing a game of waiting for the right horse to come.

The war horses of Naggaroth are a variant bred by Druki, known as dark horses. Their innate ability is cruel and cold-blooded, and they are violent and have very strong attack power, biting and kicking. In addition, they eat meat, any kind of meat, whatever is available, whether it is raw or cold. In the broken place of Naggaroth, especially in the north, it is difficult to even see grass, let alone eat it.

In terms of feeding methods, all elven war horses are not kept in stables like humans. Elves prefer to feed them in the form of grazing, from Duruchi to Asrai.

This is even more true in Asheril. Although the Rosario Province is not full of cattle, sheep, and horses, you can still see dark riders herding after a while. In addition to herding, the dark riders are also responsible for guarding the coastline and filling the gaps of patrol boats to prevent the Asur from stealing horses in the opposite direction and replicating what Duruchi did in the Kingdom of Elion.

The composition of Rosario's war horses is very complex. A large part of them were brought from Naggaroth; another part was bought from King Arion, and these fur war horses were also included in the investment cost.

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

But Dacus refused. He didn't ride a horse either. He usually had the company of the big guy. When necessary, he also had Springtwin. 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 Asherel's war horses will show in a few years. Anyway, they eat meat for now. In addition to meat and grass, war horses also eat salt, alfalfa, grains, beans and other concentrated feed 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 absorb nutrients from grass as effectively as ruminants, so meat may be a good supplement. Elven war horses are against the will of heaven, but they are not out of the category of horses. They still need to eat, and they must eat well during war and before war.

Therefore, he decided to let the horses try it first, cutting the porridge into pieces and mixing it with concentrated feed...

After Master Wu woke up, he thought about genetically modifying the warhorse. To match the world next door, he changed the odd-toed ungulates into even-toed ungulates, which could effortlessly cross trenches and gallop at high speeds in complex terrain. They were taller than ordinary horses, had almost no hair, no tail, and no mane, only short manes that did not need to be taken care of.

But he finally gave up. He calculated that if the army was to maintain 130, there would have to be 1 legions. One legion would need 2400 war horses and pack horses. Adding other departments, the Imperial Black Knights, the navy and so on, Drucci's peak demand for war horses would be 35, and he would have to have a surplus of 5 to ensure replenishment.

Fortunately, the accounts are not calculated in this way. For example, Sandezi has waves, like A and B on 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... Sandezi has his own characteristics, and there is no extension.

However, we can learn from the waves of Sandezi's infantry divisions. Before the sickle was swung, the three-dimensional strength of the first four waves of infantry divisions was very amazing. In the late stage, several waves of infantry divisions at the front were still not at a disadvantage during the fierce battle in Courland, and achieved a very high exchange ratio.

It was not much different for Druki. The large army formed in the early stage must be elite, the fist among fists, the main force in the decisive battle. The further they went... the more... until the security division and the public security division. Specifically, he planned to discuss with Malekith after returning. He would not care how they fought, but he would be in charge of logistics. As long as they survived King's Landing Ulthuan, the elven society would not need so many horses by then.

"What are your plans?" Dacus asked casually after asking some vague questions. When he saw everyone's eyes were looking at him again, he pointed in the direction of the pier and said, "Let's go for a walk?"

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

In fact, it was meaningless. Without any disguise, they moved as if they were carrying a halo of retreat. Wherever they went, there was no one. The street clearing effect was extremely good. Except for the garrison troops on rest, the garrison troops on guard and the service personnel, the other Duruchi had disappeared long ago and did not line up. Only a very small number of those who had already lined up did not run away, and expressed their obedience tremblingly.

Normally, everyone gets along well with each other and doesn't feel anything, just like the cold lizards. Except for the extremely intelligent subspecies, the cold lizards look at their own kind as if they were fools, and they also look at the bean sprouts on their backs as if they were fools. During the Duruchi Civil War, his mind was full of questions: How could fools fight fools?

But what about an ordinary person or soldier? What would it feel like to see a fully armed, armed to the teeth cold lizard knight in front of him holding a spear, riding a cold lizard covered in lizard armor and grinning.

Finally, after buying a bunch of food, the group chose to stay under a relatively secluded shed, waiting for the afternoon game. (End of this chapter)
