Chapter 823: Chapter 823 Sky Cavalry Training
Since there is no dissatisfaction with the pricing, then there should be no dissatisfaction with other aspects either.
In the following days, everyone began to pay money to reserve armor. Zhao Guang had no choice; having just developed the armor, he had yet to begin its manufacturing. Moreover, producing such a large number of armors simultaneously was impossible for his territory.
For this reason, Zhao Guang could only provide measurements and have factories on Earth produce them.
Even if someone guessed the situation, there was nothing they could do, as Zhao Guang would never admit to it.
It’s uncertain if the Beastman would express some grievances since the Bimong Armor sold to them was priced higher.
Of course, the thickness of Bimong Armor cannot be compared with that of Floating Fish Armor. If one were to truly compare total defensive power, they are not on the same level; such thick armor would be a burden for the Floating Fish.
The Floating Fish is not simply put on armor; it also requires carrying a lot of arrows and other weapons.
These people did not leave, wanting to stay for observation. However, during training, they were not allowed to enter; how could a military stronghold allow them to come and go freely?
But if they only wanted to watch from afar, no one would bother them.
In the training center, those observing the armed Floating Fish grew immensely excited.
However, once the contract process began, many felt disheartened. Originally, they had a mission to bring back the training methods, but now it seems useless to do so.
They couldn’t replicate just that single contract.
They had already heard that this contract was a Bloodline Rune studied by Zhao Guang, directly inscribed onto the Floating Fish’s Bloodline. Unfortunately, the contract attached to the Bloodline Rune was incomplete, making capturing and breeding ineffective.
This contract was divided into three parts: one inside the Floating Fish, one for themselves to use.
Another part was shockingly found in the crystal plate held by Jeana, usable only by her and a few others. Without this crystal plate for final completion, the contract remains incomplete, even if signed, it could break at any time.
Upon seeing the training methods, they became even more frustrated.
Because the training methods were completely based on the contract. Through the contract, they could learn a simple Magic to communicate with the Floating Fish, very straightforward and user-friendly.
It could only provide simple commands, and the range was not far, but sufficient for the Knights.
The Floating Fish were not very intelligent, but they executed commands with decent accuracy.
Upon a slight experiment, they understood that this training is indeed very easy.
Then, they moved onto the Floating Fish; their armor and the Floating Fish’s armor had clips that could fasten them securely to the Floating Fish.
The Floating Fish flew steadily, but during battle, this might not always be maintained. There would be rapid movements or rolls periodically, and without securing them, the Knights would fall.
Similarly, equipment for arrows also had special clasps to ensure the Weapons did not fall off.
But they quickly found out, for convenience in shooting, they all stood.
“I see, the back of the Floating Fish is flat, so we can stand.”
They were not fools; they immediately understood. The back of a Griffin or Flying Dragon didn’t have such space to allow standing, forcing one to ride, an action that hinders the use of bows and arrows.
Either by reducing the size of the bow and arrow or using throwing Weapons like Javelins.
Recently, sniper rifles have become popular. Of course, for the strong, sniper rifles were not as effective as traditional Weapons.
Standing posture made using sniper rifles or bows and arrows extremely easy. For those at intermediate warrior or intermediate Elemental Archer level or above, bows and arrows were much more effective in sky combat than sniper rifles.
Soon, they began low-altitude flights, then experimented with various commands.
“The speed of this training is too fast; forget about two months, it could be completed in less than a month.”
When taking a break to communicate, someone couldn’t help but say.
Others agreed, saying, “Perhaps the two months are mainly for us Knights to adapt. After all, fighting in the air is completely different from fighting on the ground.”
He could sense that sometimes his instincts were painfully uncomfortable.
In aerial combat versus ground combat, many habits had to be adjusted to bring out one’s fullest strength.
Upon making eye contact, they immediately understood; if they adapted quickly on their own, the training time could be eliminated, only needing a few battles to fully adjust.
This effect far surpassed the slave contract or pet contract.
After all, the slave contract cannot directly facilitate communication, and while the pet contract can, the communication is limited, mostly requiring dialogue — unnecessary for the simple-minded Floating Fish.
After a sigh, everyone grew excited, knowing they had become Floating Fish Knights.
Then, Jeana suddenly spoke up: “Look, there is an even simpler combat method, achievable without training.” Everyone turned to the direction Jeana was pointing.
In the air, a squadron of Floating Fish Knights flew over, but they did not use conventional attacks.
In the high altitude, a large box behind the Knights opened, revealing round objects inside. These objects were subsequently hurled downward.
Upon landing, the objects exploded, blasting a large area into oblivion.
“What, what is this?”
“Our newly designed simple bombs, they explode upon certain impacts, not very costly,” made with gunpowder with little relation to Magic, using only a triggering Array, so the price isn’t high.
However, if used on a large scale, it would be costly due to the number involved.
The bombing effect made everyone swallow hard; it was truly terrifying.
“If this were used to attack a city, the city might be instantly destroyed.”
“Not so easily, a strong Fortress City surely has anti-air defenses.” Though they said so, everyone knew most cities weren’t large Fortress Cities.
