Love and passion, cutting up the wasteland.

Chapter 499: Departure
There are no horses in this world.

It's not that they are extinct, but that such creatures have never existed.

The development of this land is, to some extent, similar to that of the American continent in the past. Although there are quite a lot of pack animals, they are either too large or small and medium-sized livestock such as goats. There is a lack of suitable mounts.

Like Lu Meng, although he has also ridden a iron ox.

But never astride.

It is much more difficult to control.

Therefore, there has never been a proper cavalry on this continent. Either in the ancient times, there were mechanized means of transportation that did not require livestock, or in modern times, there is no domestication technology at all...

However, the irony is that.

There is no such creature in the world, but the word "horse" still exists.

For example, Lu Meng’s inscribed blade, the Horse-Slaying Sword.

In the ancient times that he was familiar with, this shape was actually what was commonly known as the Imperial Sword, a symbol of imperial power.

After later evolution, it is also called saber.

As the name suggests, it is similar to a long scroll knife and is also an anti-cavalry weapon. The handle and blade are also slender, making it easy to hold.

"I once asked Cang Cui, Hamut and others what they thought a 'horse' was." Lu Meng recalled, "but the result was like a blind man touching an elephant. No one could explain it."

It's okay that he's just very fast and has a strong physique.

In the end, he even emerged riding on clouds and mist.

In their mouths.

The horse is more like a legendary creature.

The positioning is somewhat similar to "dragon".

From this perspective, in the eyes of others, Lu Meng, the Red King holding the inscribed blade, the Horse-Slaying Sword, is similar to a character holding the "Dragon-Slaying Sword"...

Only he could sense this sense of disharmony.

Obviously, this kind of creature has never existed since ancient times and no one has ever seen it, but it has practical tools, proverbs, and cultural relics accompanying it - this further confirms a guess made by the player community.

The world where "Swordsman" is located is a colonized planet.

Most of the creatures here are not native species, and the absence of horses may be because the original colonists did not bring them at all - they had more convenient means of transportation.

even,

The lack of existing firearms technology could explain this.

The ancients had already eliminated those gunpowder-fired weapons, but when the level of technology surpassed too much, even if there were relics, future generations would not be able to understand... This in turn led to a large gap after the destruction.

So how do they attack?
Lu Meng shook his head secretly.

This is not yet determined.

For him, the more practical thing is: if he can find a way to develop the riding technology, whether it is the traditional cavalry, or the dragoons who mount horses to move and then dismount to fight on foot... it will be a major breakthrough in mobility.

Taming the Boneyard Wolf was one of his attempts.

Unlike in the past, although the ability to suppress the wild Bonebury Wolves still relies on Lu Meng's animal recruitment module, the specific work of taming the animals can be handed over to the professional Shandi tribe.

Some of them are experts.

Both the progress and future scale are promising.

the other side.

The warriors of the North Wind Clan were cleaning up the wolf carcasses scattered all over the mountains.

Most of the Boneyard Wolves fled in all directions, but they still left behind hundreds of corpses, making for a spectacular scene.

"Try it."

"Tsk, the wolf meat is sour and smells fishy."

"Don't give it to me. I just like flirty ones."

Being herdsmen by birth, they were nimble and nimble, and with a single cut from their sharp knife the flesh would naturally fall off.

In less than half a day, they had cleaned up the wolf carcass and gathered together to have a barbecue feast of the whole wolf.

Although he said he disliked it, he still enjoyed eating it.

Especially when he had just recovered from a serious injury and was chewing on the flesh of his former enemy.

After eating.

They did not take the remaining wolf meat away, but piled it up.

burnt.

"The beaked beast is coming." Lu Meng looked at the black smoke rising straight up in the field, and the gradually charred corpses made crackling sounds.

Beaked beasts also feed on wolves.

Despite their huge size, they can run much faster than the Boneyard Wolves.

Carrying the wolf meat with them would be too heavy a burden; leaving it here would give it away to possible herds of beaked beasts.

And this is their real gain.

Actually it was those hundreds of wolf skins.

Almost every North Wind Warrior carried one or two brown-red animal skins.

Even a large tribe like the Beifeng Clan.

It is not easy to collect so much fur at one time, especially high-quality wolf fur.

It would be good whether to keep it or use it as a trade item.

Coincidentally, a major destination for Shandi fur is skinners who need to guard against acid rain.

And Bo Pi Town is also an important production base of leather armor.

Therefore, in Lu Meng's eyes, these furs are no longer furs.

These are clearly hundreds of sets of top-quality armor.

Although iron armor is good, it requires the wearer to bear too much weight. During the period of rapid expansion, being able to popularize leather armor to soldiers as soon as possible is enough to raise the combat effectiveness to a higher level.

"Let's go," Lu Meng ordered, "We shouldn't stay here for long."

It was a miracle that they could successfully stop the wolf pack with their fighting power.

If you want to face the beaked beast.

Even if they can really go into battle wrapped in medical straw mats, they will be eaten clean.

Moreover, the beaked beast has almost no natural enemies in nature.

During the same period of elderhood, if one does not commit suicide or starve to death, it is unlikely that one will die of natural causes... By then, Lu Meng does not know whether he will encounter a monster that has survived in the wild for many years.

The North Wind Warriors responded in unison.

As the commander, Bo Wei not only carried a wolf skin on his shoulder, but also held a huge wolf head in his hand.

It was the wolf leader that Lu Meng had killed before.

If it were still alive, it could open its mouth wide and bite off half of a person's chest or abdomen, but now one can only see a little of its majesty in life from its sharp teeth.

Carrying the wolf king's skull was not Lu Meng's instruction.

But in the eyes of the North Wind Warriors.

He felt the need to demonstrate the Red King's achievements in front of his people - even if such a small matter was insignificant to him.

The team set out north.

The white tent that sheltered them was left behind. Just as Lu Meng had said at the beginning, there was no need to dismantle it and it would be a waste of time.

Whether it is the tent or the camping bed inside.

It's worthless to him.

However, when others passed by the blood-stained white tent, they couldn't help but make pious gestures and pay silent respects.

【nameless】

The line of faint light that only Lu Meng could see gradually fell behind him.

……

Along the way, everyone saw the mess on the ground.

Scattered belongings, coins, jewelry, fur coats and even nanmu bed boards...

"The tribe was attacked?"

These are obviously the things of the North Wind Clan. They are quite heavy, and only this clan can afford to carry so many belongings.

But now it has been discarded along the way.
