"As you said, I've sold off all the dragons I got in the battle the other day. Here's what I got for it."

Thank you, old man. ...... I knew it would be a pretty good price. Selling the beast..."

That's right. The most popular of all the beasts is the mounted dragon. They are powerful and strong enough not to get hurt easily. Many merchants are in business because they want to buy a mounted dragon someday.

"I see. But isn't it a bit of a stretch to use them as legs for an army?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Why not?　Well, it's not surprising since you destroyed the Uruk cavalry in no time at all, but a cavalry is usually a symbol of fear. Just the thought of that many cavalrymen attacking is enough to scare me.

"Hmmm. Well, I don't deny that they are strong. But it doesn't mean that magic is completely impenetrable, and moreover, there are too many different kinds of horsemen in the cavalry. There is no uniformity."

　I will tell the old man what I felt when I fought the cavalry of Uruk.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I think that building an army with cavalry is a natural result of the will to build a strong army.

　Since I have also built such an army using Valkyries, I am sure that the concept is a good one.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But this was only possible because of the existence of Valkyries.

　However, I thought that the cavalry of Uruk might have some subtle difficulties to use.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This is because there are in fact many different kinds of mounted dragons.

　Some of them are like lizards that walk on two legs, but have different shapes, and some of them have two legs when they stand, but four legs when they run, or vice versa.

　I think that this is due to the way in which the messenger animals were obtained.

　After all, in order to raise a beast of burden, the eggs of the beast of burden must be raised by human hands.

　The same person will produce the same conjugate, but all others will have different conjugates.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In other words, it is very difficult to unite all the legions with the same conjugate.

　My Valkyrie, which can use the magic of "magic infusion," is completely different from the other messengers in this respect.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If you leave it to Valkyrie, you can keep adding more and more of the same conjugates.

　If you are going to use Valkyries as cavalry, it is definitely better to unify the type of the messenger beasts.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Because the running speed of the different kinds of the messengers is inevitably different.

　Some are fast, some are slow, and you have to march according to the slower one.

　In fact, when I surrounded the enemy cavalry with a wall, there was chaos.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When I changed my running course to avoid crashing into the suddenly formed wall, the difference in foot speed caused the group to form a traffic jam, stretching vertically.

　I was waiting there and was targeted by me, so it could be said that the situation was so one-sided.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I think it would be better to unify the types of the beast if it is possible.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then, I also thought that it would be better to unify all the other kinds of beasts except for Valkyries.

　The reason why Valkyrie originally learned the [magic power injection] is because of my naming it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In other words, I thought that it would be a good idea if I named the desired mounted dragon and let it hatch the eggs of the messenger beast with the magic given to it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, I did not carry out this idea.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The reason is that I felt that there is a problem with the food that the mounted dragons eat.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It seems that all of the enemy cavalrymen we seized seemed to eat meat as their staple food.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I am amazed that they could keep securing enough meat to feed so many of them on a regular basis.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If I had such meat, I would eat it myself.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Valkyries are food-savvy in this respect.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Valkyries are able to harvest in just a few days from the soil improved fields, and their staple food is hutka, so even though there are many of them, it doesn't hurt their pocketbooks too much.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I was proud of myself for thinking that Valkyries are the best messenger beasts.

"I see. It is true that a Valkyrie is better than a mounted dragon when it comes to food. The land of Uruk is what makes the cavalry corps what it is.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... Yeah?　What do you mean, old man? The land of Uruk?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"An. Well, there are mountains on the east side of Uruk territory. There are a lot of goats there.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Goats. Are they domesticated?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

No, we don't raise them as livestock. They live in the mountains by themselves. There are quite a few of them. They'd make good food for a mounted dragon.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hmm. You have goats. I like them. They can eat meat and get milk, right?　Also, I wonder if a goat can get cashmere or something. I'd like to have some. Can you get some, old man?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Huh?　You want a goat?　Boy, you know what a goat is?　They use magic, goats."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　What?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I thought goats were the ones I knew.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I heard that goats are sometimes thought of as demons, but can goats here really do magic?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But come to think of it, even the big boars living in the forest can use the magic of "hardening".

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Maybe it's not so strange.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I was once again made aware of the wonders of this world.
