Chapter 1320: Chapter 706: Shanoba’s Strategic Intelligence_3
“Cloud Manta!” As soon as Gaven heard the na, a distinctive image of a colossal creature imdiately appeared in his mind.
This creature is one of Felen’s most majestic flying beings. Upon reaching adulthood, they possess a body size larger than that of the Ancient Golden Dragon, starting at a minimum of twenty ters.
If it doesn’t dive down for a hunt, from the ground, it looks like a cloud floating in the sky. Coupled with its resemblance to a ray fish swimming in the ocean, it has earned its na.
Upon reaching adulthood, they are invincible in the air, apart from adult Giant Dragons. Rocs, Gryphons, Pegasi, Spiketail Lions, and other large aerial beasts all fall prey to them.
Most of the ti, they target herds of beasts on the ground as their prey. Due to their colossal body, their speed is exceptionally slow, making it impossible for them to chase aerial creatures unless those creatures court disaster themselves.
This super-giant Magic Beast is a perfect match with Dragon’s Breath Tremor Bombs, capable of transforming into an aerial bombing platform for devastating ground attacks.
“Excellent, excellent, excellent!” Gaven excitedly hugged Shanoba and spun her around several tis, saying, “You will send soone to track this Cloud Manta and gather all its details—whether it’s solitary or part of a family or clan. I’ll handle devising the combat strategy to capture and control it.”
This rare Magic Beast is extrely scarce in Felen, often encountered by chance rather than sought.
Since it has been encountered, it cannot be let go.
“Furthermore, I’ve discovered a Flying Dragon Clan in the Troll Mountains. I plan to attempt using my Flying Dragon Transformation ability to subdue them and make them serve us.
However, there’s a strong Flying Dragon King among them. Whenever I appear, it leads the Flying Dragon flock to chase and drive away. This matter will require the Lord’s assistance.”
Shanoba had completely opened her governor and conception vessels in Colossus City, fully understanding her precise positioning.
Regarding ground combat capabilities, no matter how much the Gnolls develop, they can never surpass the Hobgoblins of Blood Gorge City.
Even in areas where Gnolls excel, like auxiliary abilities, they hold no advantage compared to the Dragon Oak Territory.
Aerial troops were a significant gap in Gaven’s forces, so she focused directly in this direction.
Recently, she had been relentlessly excavating the potential of Gnolls in aerial combat, while also striving to explore wild resources related to this. Flying Dragons were undoubtedly her best target.
“Then gather all of their intelligence as well. Next ti, during the battle against the Cloud Manta, we’ll also deal with them.” Gaven did not act impulsively and drag Shanoba to provoke the Flying Dragons.
Killing and capturing are completely different concepts, requiring specialized strategies and thods for capture.
Even after the capture, it’s rely the beginning. The ultimate goal is to ta them and make them serve him.
However, whether it’s Cloud Mantas or Flying Dragons, both are inherently unyielding creatures.
Especially the latter, known for their fiery tempers, often surpassing even Colored Dragons. After all, Dragons are high-intelligence beings; even evil Dragons can be negotiated with.
Flying Dragons, however, exist sowhere between intelligent creatures and wild beasts.
Call them beasts, and they exhibit the cunning and arrogance of intelligent beings.
Call them intelligent beings, and they display the reckless aggression of beasts, easily fooled by tricks.
Although Felen has Flying Dragon mounts, their numbers are exceptionally rare and usually trained from eggs or hatchlings, requiring imnse effort and bloodshed.
Neither Gaven nor Shanoba intended to spend over a decade nurturing and taming Flying Dragons. Instead, they planned to target fully grown ones directly.
When conventional thods fail, then Magic cos into play.
If Magic proves ineffective, they will turn to Special Abilities.
Currently, they had nurous options, including the Dragon Oak Mother Tree. Let’s not forget how Gaven controlled the young Red Dragon Roderick and the Black Dragoness Shanoba.
It seems Shanoba was indeed thinking of such thods, prompting her to target the Flying Dragon flock.
“To welco the Lord’s arrival, we’ve specially prepared a collective Ascending Dragon Ritual. Would you like to join in as well?” Shanoba extended an invitation.
“Just proceed as you ordinarily do. If needed, I will naturally join in.” Gaven didn’t hide the Ascending Dragon Ritual in Colossus City from Mayor Jin Bao and Giharin Clan Leader.
On the contrary, he directly invited them to the highest point in Colossus City to witness the grand event firsthand. After all, this was the best opportunity to showcase his strength.
Especially for Giharin, greater strength ant tighter bonds and increased potential for collaboration.
“Ascending Dragon Ritual?” Giharin’s heavily creased face revealed deep confusion. “Gnolls have such customs?”
Dwarves are disproportionately more likely to encounter Gnolls compared to average folks, as their living territories significantly overlap.
Although Gnolls do not harbor innate animosity towards Dwarves like their hatred for Gnos, the relationship between the two is far from pleasant.
Dwarves hold deep prejudices against Gnolls because many abandoned Dwarf cities have been occupied by the little creatures.
As a result, their understanding of Gnolls is far superior to that of common people.
“This is unique to Colossus City. Soon, you’ll witness the one-of-a-kind Dragon Bark Dance.” Mayor Jin Bao’s expression showed a mix of emotions he could no longer hide. Clearly, he had seen this spectacle more than once, and each ti, it left him deeply astounded.
He had personally witnessed the growth of Colossus City, and looking back now, it felt almost unbelievable.
Compared to Goblins, the number of Gnolls was relatively small. Even for Gnos, whose territories overlap heavily with Gnolls, the chance of encountering one was slim.
But here in Colossus City, Gnolls arrived in an endless stream, with new faces appearing daily.
When Gnolls realized their safety was guaranteed along the Conqueror Path, it beca a River of Gnoll. All surrounding Gnolls converged here, surged forward, and Colossus City beca their destination.
At this rate, the Gnolls in the surrounding mountains would all move here. Breaking the ten-thousand mark within just a few years seed entirely feasible.
Even ten thousand rats would be a terrifying existence, let alone ten thousand Gnolls. This place would beco Felen’s largest Gnoll city.
For Gnos, who were naturally despised by Gnolls, navigating such a city would undoubtedly be an unpleasant experience.
Shanoba could barely suppress the Gnolls from attacking them but couldn’t entirely change their inherent hostility, as this ca from their God of the Race.
“Begin!” Gaven nodded toward Shanoba beside him.
