  It's not a griffin, indeed. Songtanni nodded: "Have to admit, back then my father and your lord had the same idea, giving up on using powerful flying beasts and switching to ordinary giant birds to carry airborne knights. My father had ten excellent elven archers under his command, their bodies extremely light, among them one already possessed the 'Divine Shooter' level."

  Goodness! Liu Zhen was shocked and stuck out his tongue. The people around him also let out a collective gasp.

  The pride of the Elf tribe is renowned, what reason would make these proud Elven archers willingly follow Lord Muryonio? Isn't this too absurd?

  There was even an elf who reached the level of "Master Marksman", a title similar to the "Divine Archer" in the human world, which is the highest honor for elven archers. The Master Marksman no longer uses ordinary arrows, but instead uses "Moon Blades", a type of three-edged hidden weapon that can change its flight trajectory in mid-air after being shot from the bowstring, dealing massive damage.

  "Don't be surprised, most of the followers under my father's command are not just Ba Mung warriors. They were companions he met while traveling across the continent. There are human mages and warriors, dwarf fighters, and elven archers. And my Silver Frost Swordsmanship was learned from Mr. Ranpad, one of the top ten sword saints on the continent of Aichner." Gatanee said calmly.

  Another sigh of emotion.

  Although I don't know what level of warrior a human Sword Saint is, it's probably much stronger than the Green Party's Knife Saints.

  "Muriniyo-sama is truly a legendary hero who has emerged from the Knights." Liu Zhen was deeply moved. The Master's appearance is handsome, with a strong family background and a noble status, and he also has a giant dragon-like undead bird as his magical pet, and many followers of various races. I'm ugly, powerless, and have no influence, and all my followers are even more miserable. There are prisoners, slaves, sailors, monks, and a group of musicians who play cultural music. After much difficulty, I finally got a dragon pet, but it was cursed to death, and now it's even more ridiculous that Guoguo is a life-bound body. After going through great difficulties to collect a fairy dragon, it was unexpectedly despised and bullied by its own magical pet.

  It's really infuriating, it's so infuriating that I'm going to die from anger. It's unreasonable. Liu Zhen said with a trembling heart.

  Helen, Jingyu and Evie also nodded vigorously. These two days they were fascinated by the knights brought back by Cui Yuanshan when he sent the monk team to Witherstone. Evie couldn't read the text in Baimon language. Jingyu and Helen took turns reading it out loud to her, those stories of white horse princes coming to kill dragons and save beautiful princesses made her blood boil with excitement.

  "Continuing on this topic, I'd like to know why Lord Murini didn't succeed." Liu Zhen shook his head at a few infatuated girls.

  "The weight of the centaur archers from House Maric is too much for the griffins to carry. The elves are a different matter, and we swans have an innate advantage with the 'Song of the Skies' when it comes to capturing griffins. But there's no way to make a two-hundred-plus-pound centaur archer any lighter, so in the end my father only formed a team of ten elven archers riding griffins. The thing is, the other ranged attackers, the dwarves, are too heavy as well," Gaultieri asked, looking at Pansy, "How much do you weigh?"

  "I'm much lighter than Korina. Only about 500 pounds, if I lose any more weight, I won't be able to throw the harpoon gun." Pan said with a bit of embarrassment.

  "Obis Letti! Don't drag me into this!" Corinna, the mammoth knight, was furious. What kind of joke is it to let a thousand-pound giant ride on a bird? Which bird can withstand that?"

  "The weight of a Kirin is at most one hundred pounds. Even then, they are thin and very suitable for being airborne warriors, and they can also use crossbows." Liu Zhenshen said.

  Kotomi and Tsugumi's faces showed a look of sudden realization.

  "A skilled archer indeed requires talent, but more importantly, time. I've seen the dwarves use crossbows to shoot down cloud sparrows with great accuracy, truly living up to their name as a tribe of divine marksmen. However, it's unfortunate that crossbows can only fire stone bolts, and using them in battle would be laughable to our enemies. If we were to use 'Molten Fury', it might be worth trying, but there are only about a hundred of those, and with the 40 young dwarves you've chosen, even if distributed evenly, that's only three per person." The fairy dragon sneered: "Dear Lord Pigg, I don't know why you transplanted the oldest 'Golden Acacia' to the Frosty Verdure, but what I want to say is, if you want your dwarven followers to have enough ammunition, it might take another 40 years to achieve that."

  "Considering the current level of alchemy technology, it's impossible to successfully create a fire lance. And the range of the musket is not very far either. Both have their own insurmountable flaws. I destroyed the design for the fire lance, not because I'm arrogant, but because I found another shortcut." Liu Zhen looked at Xian Nü Long with a gaze that seemed to mock her as if she were feeble-minded.

  "What shortcut?" The beautiful snake guide asked solemnly.

  This grandson often has some weird ideas popping up, this time hopefully won't disappoint himself.

  "Mentor, I'll answer your question later. First, let me give you a lesson. Who among you can tell me what is truly an attack?" Liu Zhen asked back.

  "Attack is just chopping down the opponent with a big knife!" Korina shouted, hugging her waist-long golden steel sword.

  The militiamen nodded in unison.

  O'Neill gave Corina a thumbs up and whispered: "Fool."

  "A true attack should be a spiritual and mental annihilation of the opponent, using the most elegant swordsmanship to crush their confidence from the inside out! Just like human paladins use blunt weapons yet can still defeat their opponents, an attack shouldn't just include physical destruction, but also encompass the spiritual aspect." Gatanie spoke eloquently from a knight's perspective, making it clear who was superior between professional temple knights and amateur knights. Senri, on the other hand, had a disdainful expression that said "You think you're worthy of discussing military tactics with me?"

  "What is called a true attack, is actually using the simplest way, through the shortest path, to knock out the opponent in the fastest way." Seeing that no one else spoke up, Liu Zhensheng slowly said: "This is what I have been emphasizing all along - one strike must kill!"

  "But in this world, there is no perfect martial art. Any attack will leave room for evasion." Kotani said.

  "The ancient power cannon is extremely perfect, as the saying goes, nothing can withstand it. If the wind system magic circle on the striking hammer can input the most complete magical power, the ancient power cannon will shoot bullets with lightning-like speed and accuracy due to its fixed rifling. Theoretically, this speed is far beyond what the human body's reaction ability can keep up with."

  Liu Zhen added: "Especially at close range against firearms, it's simply impossible to dodge. That day, I almost got shot by King Deko, but fortunately, the wind system magic power of this ancient cannon buried for thousands of years was insufficient. Plus, I had some precautions, which gave Guoguo time to cover me."

  "I admit that, but unfortunately, the ancient magic cannon can't be manufactured. Moreover, replenishing magic is also a big problem, what do you think can make up for it?" asked Xian Nv Long.

  "Slingshot."

  "Slingshot?"

  "The range of the slingshot can't exceed two hundred yards. Why don't we use large flying birds to carry our archers, and solve the problem of range? In aerial combat, if we launch a ground attack after descending from the air, the power of 'Molten Earth Fury' can be fully utilized through the slingshot and gravity. If it's an air battle, it's even simpler. We don't need to consider precise wind magic arrays or standardized gun barrels; we artificially shrink the combat radius to within two hundred yards and use this primitive slingshot. In my estimation, if the combat radius is within one hundred yards, relying on the swift firing speed of the slingshot, any opponent who doesn't have heavy armor will basically be beaten." Liu Zhen said.

  This remark thoroughly stunned Xian Nü Long.

  This completely abandoned the ingenious design principle of the ancient fire gun, using two earthy methods to blend together, and finally achieved the ultimate goal of the ancient fire gun, making Xian Nü Long reflect.

  The people around him all fell into deep thought.

  "All roads lead to Weishengpang, we can't just follow the footprints left by our predecessors." Liu Zhenshen smiled.

  "This idea is really clever." Even Song Tan Ni couldn't help but admit it.

  Apart from the deer people with slingshots, among the Bimon, only the Dougu tribe's dog-headed people's Tuo Suo and the Haigou Hong tribe's hedgehog people's Chui Bian Ci can ride flying birds to attack from a distance. These two weak and dependent tribes are absolutely no match for the resilience of the Diel tribe's deer people.

  "I've been wondering one thing, are you really a stupid pig or not?" Cui Peishan expressed her admiration in a subtle way.

  "Sorry, I'm going to trouble you again, my dear sir." The dragon fairy lifted her head and walked out of her thoughts, smiling and saying: "Respected sir, based on your hypothesis, I'd like to make a reasoning too. Have you ever thought about what if we encounter an aerial enemy? In the battle of Hegel, the eagle people's throwing spears were unable to counter the human aerial lion knights' crossbows, which is why they lost. Currently, the human nations on the Aegean continent have designed exquisite repeating crossbows that can continuously shoot out seven arrows. Setting aside the issue of the high price of these repeating crossbow tubes, I'd like to ask you, what if we encounter such a situation? How would your marten people's slingsmen respond?"

  "Our slings have large and spacious pouches, each can shoot up to three Mordrin's Fury at a time. In one breath, even our children can shoot twice in succession with the sling, the speed of the repeating crossbow can't keep up with us." Ado's forehead bulged with blue veins as he desperately defended his racial pride.

  No matter what racial god shooter, would not be willing to admit that machinery can surpass their skills. "But you don't have enough Moradin rage." The fairy dragon smiled. Liu Zhen shook off the Adou who wanted to retort.

  "Alright, I'll give in a bit more. Even assuming you have enough ammo, I'd like to tell you one thing - someone who has never soared through the skies can't possibly understand the thrill of flying. All of you here, although Miss Gatanee is a proud member of the Bod tribe, seem to have been deprived of your ability to fly by the war god you worship, don't you? Which means I'm probably the only one among all of you, aside from Borangsaha Fire Crane, who was born with the ability to fly?" The Dragon Fairy smiled.

  That's a fact. So everyone is nodding.

  "Want to know why I've always flown at low altitudes?" The fairy dragon elegantly led everyone's thoughts.

  Lian Guoguo and Kasha both nodded.

  "The vast blue sky is not as perfect as you imagine, soaring in the air, it looks like a wonderful thing, but what you don't know is that the higher you go into the sky, the more unbearable the wind is! The strong airflow will make you unable to open your eyes, and the cold air will make your body stiff and cold. In such harsh natural conditions, I'd like to ask you, can you still maintain your almost exaggerated shooting speed and accurate striking ability? Your body may be able to withstand the cold with thick clothing, but what about your eyes? The wind will make your eyes constantly tear up, and at that time, you'll be submerged in a sea of tears, making it difficult to see anything clearly. At this point, who's more powerful, the repeating crossbow or your bow?"

  "Awesome catapult." Adou is a honest man.

  "What aerial knights are left in the human nations besides a few Dragon Knights and the Griffin Holy Knights of the Saint Paulia Theocracy? You're just speculating." Avel said, her nose twitching.

  "The theory of interspecies restraint has always existed, Mermaid. Don't deliberately try to deny it. Do you know that humans are the most adept at learning and improving among all species? Why can they dominate the entire continent? Why did our proud dragon tribe also willingly become their mounts? It's because they can face their own weaknesses and learn from other species' strengths." The fairy dragon subtly belittled Bimeng: "Why can't Bimeng manufacture crossbows? Why can't other species do it either? Yet only human craftsmen have this skill. You can use large birds with no combat power as air forces, humans can do the same."

  "Your wisdom can illuminate the entire Aegean continent's starry sky." Liu Zhen said a cheesy but heartfelt phrase that expressed his emotions.

  The fairy dragon knew that the more she showed off her abilities, the less likely Old Liu would let her go, and he would definitely keep silent.

  The inherent pride of the dragon clan once again ruined the free road of the fairy dragon, and also made Old Liu's determination to die without letting go more determined.

  "Richard, which large bird are you preparing to use as a mount?" Cui Peishan's eyes sparkled with understanding. She had already figured out the secrets of Old Liu's treasures. That 800-year-old Golden Osmanthus tree, after being transplanted over, was specially placed in a cave and guarded by soldiers every day. Cui Peishan hadn't understood before, but now she suddenly guessed what he wanted to do.

  "Newton's giant bird." Liu Zhen was also amused: "I think I'm using Newton's giant bird"
