"This horse is Chasing Wind, a Shire horse with a rich bloodline."
"Both its parents were imported from the Shire region of the Emerald Kingdom. It's said that its ancestors were mid-level magical beasts, the Sawtooth Wildebeest, which originally inhabited the central Shire region."
Sawtooth hornbear, a mid-level magical beast, is of golden nature and is a social creature. Its combat power is comparable to that of a human knight. It has a violent and aggressive personality. However, the pure-blooded Sawtooth hornbear has been exterminated. Now, only war horses with some Sawtooth hornbear bloodline exist in the Shire region.
Zhuifeng has a slender figure, a strong body, and silky fur that shines with a healthy luster. Every line of his body outlines the perfect combination of strength and speed.
The horse's neck is long and graceful, as if proudly showing its nobility and elegance.
This is also the characteristic of war horses in the Shire region, with long bodies and long legs.
"Wind Chaser is currently the fastest horse in the stable. Its hooves are even longer than those of the Principality's native warhorses. It is the favorite of the Dragon Breath Knights."
Jack enthusiastically introduced Zhuifeng to Kroeber, his tone full of pride and anticipation.
He knew full well that Zhuifeng had great potential and was eager to find an outstanding rider so that Zhuifeng could fully display his outstanding abilities on the battlefield.
Kroeber listened carefully to Jack's introduction and observed Zhuifeng carefully.
He had to admit that Zhuifeng was indeed an outstanding warhorse. Whether it was its size, coat color or temperament, it showed its uniqueness.
In comparison, the red-blood colt he had bought from Frank before was slightly inferior. The red-blood colt only had a little bit of the blood of a low-level magical beast, and was far inferior to Zhuifeng, who had most of the blood of a saw-toothed wildebeest in his body.
But he also had high hopes for that horse and named it Yaoguang, hoping that it would accompany him to gain fame on the battlefield.
Yaoguang stood about 1.3 meters tall at the shoulder, while Zhuifeng was almost 1.5 meters tall. The term "tall and majestic" perfectly describes Zhuifeng. Such tall and mighty steeds undoubtedly convey a sense of power and majesty.
Although chasing the wind was indeed exciting, Kroeber still had a hint of hesitation in his heart.
Now that he is here, he would rather choose more.
After all, choosing a warhorse that suits you is not an easy task and requires careful consideration.
Because this is not only about personal honor, but also about life and death.
Therefore, Krober would never make a decision lightly when it comes to choosing a warhorse partner who would accompany him on the battlefield.
Jack had been in King Castle for more than 20 years and had long learned to read people's expressions. Seeing that Krober was interested but still didn't speak, he understood that Krober wanted to see more of the other war horses.
So Jack took Krober to pick out other ownerless war horses in the stable.
After choosing and choosing, Krober found that Zhuifeng was the one that best met his requirements, so he didn't hesitate much and directly chose Zhuifeng as his mount.
After completing the handover procedures, Zhuifeng, who possessed most of the bloodline of the intermediate-level magical beast Sawtooth Wildebeest, was successfully assigned to Krober. As long as he served for a full year, the ownership of Zhuifeng would also belong to him. But now, Krober only had the right to use Zhuifeng, and the nominal owner was still Grand Duchess Veronica.
Jack carefully handed two sets of well-made and exquisitely crafted saddles and warhorse robes to Krober. These were one of the benefits enjoyed by the Dragon Breath Knights - horse equipment specially equipped for the members.
In fact, according to common sense, the Dragon's Breath Knights to which Krober belongs are a heavily armored knight order. Their warhorses not only need to be covered with gorgeous robes, but also have to be equipped with solid iron or fine steel horse plate armor on the inside to enhance their defense and combat effectiveness.
However, since the Dragon's Breath Knights usually have almost no substantial combat missions, those heavy and expensive horse plate armors are really not cost-effective for them.
Furthermore, for Grand Duchess Veronica, as long as the warhorse was covered with a robe, it would look the same whether it was equipped with plate armor inside or not.
Therefore, she finally decided to cancel the configuration of warhorse plate armor.
However, even if he really had these sophisticated horse plate armors, Krober would usually never think of equipping them on Zhuifeng.
The reason is simple. The plate armor that Krober wears on a daily basis is already extremely heavy. If a layer of horse plate armor is added on top of it, Zhuifeng will probably not be able to bear such a huge load to complete a long-distance raid-style fierce battle.
This is actually the dilemma faced by most heavy cavalry: although they have strong explosive power and can burst out amazing lethality in a short period of time, their endurance is relatively insufficient, and they can often only act as the spearhead and launch a round of fierce attack before they run out of energy.
Clothes make the man, and saddles make the horse.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with this statement.
The original Zhuifeng was already quite majestic, but after being equipped with a saddle, it was taken to a higher level.
However, the gorgeous robe was not put on Zhuifeng by Krobe.
I have no missions to accomplish at the moment, so if I equip myself with it, it would only add unnecessary burden.
It would be more appropriate to wait until tomorrow when I officially start working and then let Zhuifeng wear this warhorse robe.
Krober gazed at the heroic and spirited Chasing Wind in front of him, his eyes filled with deep admiration.
For any knight, it is difficult to resist the temptation of such an outstanding warhorse, and Krober is no exception.
He knew very well that owning such an outstanding horse as his mount would not only help him become famous on the battlefield, but also be a symbol of status and honor.
