Love and passion, cutting up the wasteland

There are no horses in this world.

They are not extinct, but there is no such creature at all.

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

Like Lu Meng, although he has ridden an iron ox.

But he never sat astride.

It is much more difficult to control.

Therefore, there has been no serious cavalry on this continent. Either in the more ancient times, there were mechanized transportation tools that did not require livestock, or in modern times, there is no domestication technology at all...

However, the paradox 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-cutting sword.

In the ancient times he was familiar with, this shape was actually the so-called Shangfang sword, a symbol of imperial power.

After evolution in later generations, it was also called the horse-cutting knife.

As the name shows, it is similar to the long scroll knife and belongs to the same anti-cavalry weapon. The handle and blade are also slender, which is convenient 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 tell."

It's fine if it's fast and strong.

In the end, it even came up with flying in the clouds.

In their mouths.

Horses are more like legendary creatures.

The positioning is somewhat similar to "dragon".

So in the eyes of others, Lu Meng, the Red King holding the Ming Blade·Zhanma Sword, is similar to a character holding a "Dragon Slaying Sword"...

Only he can perceive such a sense of disharmony.

Obviously, there has been no such creature since ancient times, and no one has seen it, but there are practical tools, idioms, and cultural relics accompanying it - this further confirms a guess of the player community.

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

Most of the creatures here are not native species. The lack of horses may be because the original colonists did not bring them at all - they have more convenient means of transportation.

Even,

The lack of existing firearms technology can also explain it.

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 could not understand... This led to a big gap after the destruction.

So how did they attack?

Lu Meng shook his head secretly.

This has not been determined yet.

For him, the more practical thing is: if he can find a way to point out the riding technology, whether it is the traditional impression of the cavalry, or the dragoons who move on the horse and then dismount to fight... It is a big breakthrough in mobility.

Taming the Bone Burial Wolf is one of his attempts.

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

Some of them are experts.

Both the progress and the future scale are promising.

On the other side.

The warriors of the North Wind Clan are cleaning up the wolf corpses all over the mountains.

Most of the Bone Burial Wolves fled in all directions, but they still left behind hundreds of corpses, which was a spectacular scene.

"Try it."

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

"Don't give it to me, I like fishy ones."

They were born as herdsmen, and they were nimble. With a sharp knife, the skin and flesh came off naturally.

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

They said they disliked it, but they were still very happy to eat it.

Especially since they had just recovered from their injuries, and they were chewing the meat of their former enemies.

After eating.

They did not take the remaining wolf meat away.

Instead, they piled it together.

Burned it.

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

Beaked beasts also feed on wolves.

Although they are huge in size, they run much faster than the burial ground wolves.

Carrying wolf meat with them is too heavy a burden; throwing it here will give away the possible beaked beasts for nothing.

And their real harvest this time.

Actually, it was the hundreds of wolf skins.

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

Even for a large tribe like the North Wind Clan.

It was not easy to collect so many furs at one time, and they were high-quality wolf skins.

Whether they were kept or used as trade goods, they were good.

Coincidentally, one of the main destinations for the furs in Shandi was the skinners who needed to guard against acid rain.

And the Skinning Town was also an important production site for leather armor.

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

These were clearly hundreds of sets of high-quality armor.

Although iron armor was good, it required too much weight for the armored person. During the period of rapid expansion, being able to popularize leather armor for soldiers as soon as possible was enough to raise the combat effectiveness to a higher level.

"Let's go," Lu Meng ordered, "We should not stay here for long."

It was a miracle that they could successfully stop the wolf pack with their combat effectiveness.

If they were to fight against the beaked beasts.

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

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

In the same elder period, if you don't commit suicide or starve to death, it is unlikely that you will die naturally... Lu Meng doesn't know how many years you will encounter a monster that has survived and grown in the wild.

The North Wind Warriors all agreed.

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 head that Lu Meng had beheaded before.

If it was still alive, it could bite off half of a person's chest and abdomen with its mouth wide open, but now only its sharp teeth can show its majesty in life.

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

But in the eyes of the North Wind Warriors.

He needs to show the achievements of the Red King in front of his tribe - even if such a small matter is actually insignificant to him.

The team set off northward.

The white tent that sheltered them was left behind. As Lu Meng said at the beginning, there was no need to dismantle it and waste time.

Neither the tent nor the camping bed inside.

It was worthless to him.

However, when others passed by the blood-stained white tent, they could not help but make a pious gesture and silently salute.

[Unknown]

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

...

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

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

"The tribe was attacked?"

These were obviously the things of the Beifeng clan. They were quite heavy, and only this clan could afford so many belongings.

But now they were discarded along the way.
