However, what Li Ran did not expect was that such an arrangement caused a strong counterattack from the group of tomahawk birds, and they gathered more than thousands of people to attack the planting area. In addition to causing damage to nearly 30% of the crops in the territory, they also caused casualties of more than 200 elves archers and a large number of gargoyles.

Looking at the old village chief Molga reporting the information, Li Ran couldn't help but frown, thinking for a long time and asked, "How did you deal with these tomahawk birds here before?"

Seeing the lord getting angry, the old village chief Molga hurriedly said: "Maybe our territory is small, it has never attracted their attention. Although it is sometimes attacked by them, most of them are just passing by, and at most it only loses dozens of cattle and sheep. This has never happened."

After listening to the old village chief Molga, Li Ran thought for a long time but still had no good idea. At this time, Zhang Debiao, who was beside him, suddenly said: "My hometown is in the countryside. Whenever spring and summer change, crops will be harmed by birds. People habitually weave some grass people to scare them. But if the birds come in a certain area very frequently, there must be a large number of suitable nests nearby. Although the birds at home are different from the tomahawk birds that are about the same height as giants in the third world, I think their habits should be similar. Can we find out whether there are their nests nearby and then directly take them over?"

When Li Ran woke up the dreamer, he couldn't help but pat his head at this time. He had a headache and a headache. He was really stupid. Although these tomahawk birds occupied air supremacy, he could just find their nests and force them to fight head-on.

He nodded at Zhang Debiao. Li Ran hurriedly handed over these things to the scout leader Histan, and ordered him to lead more than a dozen horned eagles left in the territory to find the nests of these battle axe birds as soon as possible.

Sure enough, after being attacked by several rounds of sneak attacks by the tomahawk bird, the scout leader Heistan reported that he had found the lair of these guys, which was located on a mountain in the Leicester Mountains, and was actually not far from the elves territory.

After knowing that the number of these battle axe birds was more than 2,000, Li Ran couldn't help but nodded and finally understood why they could dispatch more than 1,000 last time. At the same time, they quickly decided on the candidates to fight.

The next morning, after the territory gate opened, the first ones were the King of the Touching Spirit Beetle and its more than 2,000 people, and after that, thousands of gargoyles and more than 1,000 elves archers. As for the ground troops, Li Ran brought more than 2,000 high-level tungsten warriors and 500 mantis warriors.

This is a war without suspense. Although the three tomahawk bird nests are on dangerous peaks that cannot be reached by the ground troops, they are also panicked when they see Li Ran’s army arrive. In addition, thousands of gargoyles rushed straight to each other’s nest. Beetle King behind him slowly floated over with his subordinates. In order to protect the immature young birds in the nest, these tomahawk birds were forced to meet the enemy, but were deliberately beaten and deceived by both.

Faced with the attacks of the elf archer, the high-level war bear on the ground and the mantis warrior. Although these battle axe birds were not weak, they were quickly defeated. With the appearance of three green dragons, their leader, a top-level battle axe bird with red all over the body, quickly chose to surrender. More than a thousand battle axe birds and hundreds of young birds in their nest became Li Ran's captives.

After the priest rescued, Li Ran thought about it and changed his way to the elf territory. After spending some time to subdue all the tomahawk birds, Li Ran directly placed the tomahawk bird's nest in the elf territory. After leaving behind all the young birds and their families, he took away nearly 800 mature tomahawk birds.

What no one expected was that after seeing these mature battle axe birds, the residents of the territory revealed good news to Li Ran. In addition to being tamed, these huge birds can be properly fed from childhood and when they reach the advanced standards, they can be trained to become combat mounts. After bringing a special saddle, they can carry soldiers with no more than half of their weight to fight.

A mature tomahawk bird weighs about 200 kilograms. By feeding special food, their weight can be increased to 250 to 300 kilograms when they mature, which means they can carry no more than 150 kilograms of soldiers. Although heavy guys like the Taurus are definitely not good, there are many suitable types of troops.

After carefully asking if they wanted to cultivate them into food and saddles needed for war cyclists, Li Ran thought about it and asked Zhang Juan to rush to Edoron City to ask about the prices of the food and special saddles to cultivate them.

A few hours later, Zhang Juan came to the company's restaurant and found Li Ran, Xia Houben and others who were having a meal.

Because there were many people eating at noon, everyone had to wait until everyone finished their meal and came to the lounge to find a private room. Then Li Ran asked.

Seeing Li Ran asking, Zhang Juan nodded and replied, "Brother Ran, I have found out that if you want to cultivate the tomahawk bird and become a war rider, in addition to hiring special personnel, the food you want to feed is about 3 gold coins per kilogram. It takes a year to go from a young bird to an adult bird, of which about 1,000 kilograms of such food, and saddles need to be ordered at a special place in the Craftsman Hall, the price is about 500 gold coins."

"This is too expensive. Not only does it require hiring people to feed them, but it also takes a year. Besides, it costs 3,000 gold coins to eat and 500 gold coins to buy saddles. At the current price, it will be enough to buy several high-level soldiers in one trip. This is not worth it." Sun Jianye, who was just in time for dinner, couldn't help but say in surprise.

Seeing that all the teammates were a little surprised, Zhang Juan hurriedly said, "I asked several animal trainers to confirm it, and I also found several specialized foods to compare prices. Maybe it is because of this reason, so there are not many people who really train the Tomahawk birds into war riders. Even the only craftsman who can make this kind of saddle is very surprised why I inquired so carefully."

At this time, even Zhou Xun also said, "This is indeed a bit too high. I heard that the current high-level griffins are only 1,500 gold coins in the auction house. Although this thing is not easy to buy, the price is here. The mature battle axe bird is about the same as the griffins at most. Not only does it require people to be fed, but it also requires people to train. The price is actually two or three times that of griffins. This is indeed a bit outrageous. No wonder no one is willing to train them."

"Yes, it's better to buy finished griffins just because you have that money. Those guys are famous kings of air combat and can also be trained to become griffins knights in the future," Sun Jianye echoed.
