Chapter 1427 Air Light Cavalry (Additional updates, please subscribe)
He waved to the wyverns, and all of them landed on the ground.

As they fell, Gu Xi noticed something: when these two-legged flying dragons landed on the ground, they stretched out their large wings to the ground to support their bodies, while their small wings retracted to protect their abdomens.

Gu Xi walked around the wyverns and focused his attention on the larger one.

Gu Xi said a few words to his undead subordinates, and several undead quickly brought some iron blocks.

Gu Xi asked the undead to place them one by one on the back of the pterosaur.

Even with a 400kg weight on board, the larger wyverns can still easily take off on the spot and fly in the air with a fairly smooth motion.

This made Gu Xi understand the characteristics of these two-legged flying dragons.

"Take down all the iron blocks and take down the zombies."

Gu Xi ordered quickly.

What happened next also made Gu Xi satisfied.

Having a zombie sitting on its back would not have much impact on the wyvern. The oncoming wind could not blow the zombie off from the junction of the wyvern's neck and shoulders.

At the same time, this two-legged flying dragon has no idea of ​​rolling up and down. When flying, it mainly flies straight.

When ascending and descending, it relies on the pair of small wings on the abdomen.

The main thing is to emphasize the word "stable".

After letting the zombie fly for a circle, Gu Xi changed into the gladiator black guard wearing heavy armor.

If it weren't for the fact that troops like the Crimson Knights couldn't change their mounts at will, Gu Xi would even want to replace them.

After two or three experiments, Gu Xi had already recorded the corresponding data.

Larger pterosaurs can carry around 400 kilograms.

If the weight exceeds this, the wyvern can still fly, but it is basically unable to take off from the ground, accelerate in the air, etc.

At best, it can fly steadily at one speed.

If the weight exceeds one ton, the flying speed of the wyvern will be as slow as a normal person walking. If the weight increases a little more, to one and a half tons, the wyvern will not be able to fly at all.

Therefore, in order to ensure that the wyvern can fly freely, the weight of the cavalry on its back should not exceed 400 kilograms.

This weight actually just hit Gu Xi's bottom line.

When the wyvern came out, Gu Xi had thought about adding a layer of armor to it.

But after calculation, it was found that the increased defensive effect of leather armor was actually not that great. If a layer of iron armor was added, the weight would directly exceed 400 kilograms.

This made Gu Xi wonder how to arrange the cavalry there.

So this plan had to be abandoned directly.

But once we abandon the armor plan and only put one cavalryman on the back of the wyvern, it would be somewhat of a waste.

This way, Gu Xi won't be able to handle it.

After hearing about Gu Xi's situation, Princess Anna also came over with her men.

She circled around these flying dragons, and then came to Gu Xi endlessly.

"My lord, this is a very good mount."

"Yeah, but my train of thought stops here. What do you think?"

"That depends on what kind of flying unit you want."

Princess Anna's thinking was relatively simple. "The main roles of flying troops are: aerial scouts, aerial sneak attacks, aerial assaults, bombing, air-to-air, and transportation.

This large-sized wyvern can be made in any way, but none of them can be made perfectly. It all depends on what the adults need. "

"Aerial combat, air-to-air, one against three of the same level."

Gu Xi thought about it and made a decision immediately.

It’s not that Gu Xi doesn’t want other directions, but air-to-air is what Gu Xi lacks most right now.

The aerial scout Gu Xi has gargoyles, and the undead dragon troops can be used for air assaults and bombings. It would be a complete waste to use these wyverns for transportation.

And this two-legged dragon has no way to become invisible.

Then air-to-air combat naturally becomes Gu Xi's only choice.

"Then the next thing we need to consider is how to do air-to-air.

There were so many fear bats in the city before, and their appearance made you want to train air-to-air flying troops, which shows that you are dissatisfied with the air combat capabilities of the fear bats.

You are doing practical work outside, what are you dissatisfied with?

Is it the speed, or the agility, or something else?"

"How should I put it? There's a lack of coordination. When the fear bats fly into the sky and release their fear screams, they can still fight as a whole, but when the real fight starts, there's no coordination among them.

They are all fighting against themselves, and cannot catch up with the enemy. During a fight, they cannot advance or retreat in place, their teeth cannot attack well, and their bite force is insufficient.

This thing has problems everywhere. If I hadn't been so picky, I really wouldn't want so many fear bats."

Gu Xi immediately told the situation.

When Princess Anna heard this, she thought about it seriously and finally gave her own opinion.

"Well, now that you mention it, there are really a lot of questions.

But you can try to put some mechanical crossbows or something like that on the back of the fear bat. I remember that the puppets under Eve can do it.

Oh, by the way, we are talking about the wyvern.

According to what you said, the cavalry you want should be soldiers who can fight on the back of a wyvern, rather than just decorations riding on the back of a dragon.

When fighting in the air, either hold a spear and use the flying speed of a wyvern to charge forward.

Or you can hold an axe and jump in front of the enemy in the air to fight.

Either fly with a bow and arrow or other long-range weapons. Of course, I personally think that bows and arrows would be better.

Of these three types of troops, the sky-jump combat can be considered."

After listening to Princess Anna's words, Gu Xi thought about it seriously and found that these wyverns were really suitable for doing so.

The main feature of these wyverns is their stable flight. It can be said that they fly in the sky more steadily than ships sail on the sea.

If there are well-trained undead soldiers, jumping from one wyvern to another should not be a problem.

If the stability of the boarding jump in the air can be guaranteed, then it will become possible to quickly descend on the enemy's back from the sky.

The situation would definitely be better if these soldiers could also have a certain ability to glide short distances in the air.

An idea flashed through Gu Xi's mind, and his hands were not idle either. He quickly told Princess Anna about his idea.

"Yes, the undead have everything. If they don't work, we can transform them. If that doesn't work, we can train them. Our thinking falls into the category of close combat light cavalry. If you don't insist on being able to glide in the air, the skeleton soldiers in the city can do the job.

If there is a need for air gliding, a low-level vampire would be a suitable choice..."
