    Because they didn't know what kind of trouble the scattered raiding teams would bring to them, after counting the loot, the players hurriedly hit the road again without waiting for a rest.  The next thought in their minds was to rush to the sphere of influence controlled by the local nobles as soon as possible, so that the people under the Cruze royal family could avoid possible revenge.  But unlike in the past when the sun was about to completely set, this time Barrett tightened the reins and stopped when the setting sun was still floating on the horizon like half a salted egg yolk.  He turned over and dismounted and immediately said to the cat-man monk: "Lalu! Come with me to harvest some hay nearby. You can't go hungry with these new treasures." "Speaking of feed, we didn't just start from  Did you seize some of the loot? Why are you going to harvest hay temporarily like this?" Rielli obviously didn't want Lalu to do that kind of rough work.  Barrett, who had already taken out his dagger, looked at the full pockets on the saddle, and then smiled: "In order to bring more goods, we didn't carry much feed with us. If something unexpected happens, just  I'm afraid it won't be possible to reach Upper Valley Town with them. "Isn't it just hay? There are so many around here. Do you need to harvest it by yourself?"  Said somewhat unclearly.  After turning his head to look at the real masters in the team, Barrett scratched his forehead: "Now I need to emphasize that the horses we just snatched are specialized military horses. Their requirements for feed are similar to those of the previously rented horses.  It¡¯s not quite the same. Noodles and I are going to collect some hay now, just to save some feed for later.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t think that horses only eat grass. Even those horses that pull goods need to be supplemented with concentrate every once in a while.  A supplement, let alone a specialized war horse.  Of course, if it is not used, it will be tied up in the stable all day long.  You can still make peace by eating weeds.  But once you start running, you have to use the best materials.  Generally speaking, this kind of war horse only needs to exercise for more than 1 hour a day. Even if it is mainly trotting and cantering, the diet must contain about 15% of concentrate to maintain the horse's normal condition.  As the horse's exercise intensity increases.  If there is a short-distance obstacle course running or walking for more than one and a half hours, about 30% of the refined materials must be put on the agenda.  For cross-country long-distance races like the ones players are currently doing, it is not an exaggeration to say that concentrate can account for about fifty percent of the daily diet.  Of course, if you don¡¯t raise them like this, you may not see any obvious difference within 1 or 2 days.  But it will seriously damage the health of the war horse.  It won¡¯t be that easy to get it back in the future. For example, the horses that were rented before are, after all, other people¡¯s property, so naturally the players won¡¯t take it too seriously.  But these three war horses are the player's own property, and the animals that add up to nearly a thousand gold coins are not careless!  Of course, it is not that the carriage and horse dealerships that specialize in rental business have not considered this issue.  Their tenants are all specially selected and cultivated. Of course, the types that are resistant to green feed will inevitably have to be sacrificed in other aspects.  There are obvious examples of this in reality. The Mongolian horse has great vitality and can use rough materials, but its short size and lack of explosive power are very obvious.  Although several Arabian horses cannot be fed ordinary pasture alone, they are also taller and more explosive.  Barrett, who turned around and started working, used the replacement ring to remove the armor.  Holding a dagger, he bent down to mow the grass.  From time to time I could feel the pain from the bruise on my abdomen.  However, Barrett himself is not incapable of dealing with this level of pain.  He didn't want Clematis to talk much, and he didn't even frown at this time.  Looking back at the Catman Monk, everyone will find that this person is really suitable for the current job.  After all, the prototype of the 'Scorpion Scythe' is a sickle, and Lalu's use of it to harvest hay is naturally much more efficient than the dagger in Barrett's hand.  What's more, compared to the tall Barrett, it is easier for the petite cat to touch the fallen hay.  When the sun was about to completely set, both of them came back with a bundle of hay.  Barrett then packed the hay in a large linen bag, and then poured in an equal amount of captured feed.  Then he took out the endless grain bag and poured it inside.  Then it shook evenly before the pocket was completely opened.  For the three army horses to eat.  "Fortunately, these three beasts are not specially trained pure-blood war horses. Otherwise, it would not be easy to serve them." After completing all this, Barrett could finally breathe a sigh of relief.  According to his experience, the types of war horses in front of him were.  Relying on such feed is enough for the time being.  After getting the loot in ¡®Shangxi Valley Town¡¯, I should be able to continue going north by buying some feed.  You must know that in this fantasy world, raising mounts is never an easy task.  For example, the griffin sky is so beautiful in the sky.?, just preparing palatable horsemeat for griffins is enough to drag a small territory into financial ruin.  The war horses are also divided into three, six or nine grades.  For example, in addition to fine feed, the elite cavalry horses also need beans, meat, and eggs.  That thing is not only delicious.  And eat more than people.  And what the players just captured can be said to be the lowest level war horse.  Don¡¯t think that war horses are only vegetarian. Adding a small amount of meat to horse food is a common practice for all armies.  For many horse breeds, getting some grain, some fodder and some minced meat can only be regarded as making do.  From this point of view, the trophies collected by Barrett this time.  In fact, it can be considered easy to serve.  Of course, what is more fortunate is that the food produced by the Endless Grain Bag is wheat food with added salt. The taste of this thing is so bad that Barrett would never go back and touch it in normal times.  But in front of him, it became a life-saving straw. Although the portion was insufficient, it was enough for the horse as a supplementary food.  In addition, there is a lot of food and meat among the trophies just captured, so as long as there is no high-intensity fighting, the problem should be solved.  If it's really not enough, Clematis' food-making technique might be able to sustain it for a few days.  After completing his work, Barrett took out the endless drink cup, then raised his head and poured it into his mouth.  But then Anvil twitched his nose and shouted: "Is this ale? Barrett, give me a sip." Upon hearing this, Barrett immediately handed the drink cup in his hand to the dwarf.  At this time, Clematis on the side said as if he had woken up from a dream: "I have already realized that the player's thing can actually provide ale." "It's not just you, I didn't expect it to have that function.  ." At this time, Rielle also looked at the water glass in Anvil's hand with some contemplation.  After drinking all the liquid in the quilt, Anvil wiped his mouth with his hand: "Such a good thing. Barrett, why didn't you take it out before." "I was using it a few days ago!  It¡¯s just that I didn¡¯t drink at that time.¡± When Barrett said this, he immediately felt the eyes of Clematis and Rielli.  Then he explained with both hands: "Okay, okay, okay, I didn't think at that time that it could still be a wine shop!" Claudia looked at Barrett and Noodles who had been busy for so long.  , expressed this emotion: "I really didn't expect these three guys to be so difficult to serve. I will be miserable in the future." "Otherwise, how can we say that the troops and horses have not used food and grass first! There is no perfect logistics system, war horses and so on.  The effect will be greatly reduced." Barrett immediately understood that he couldn't just sigh, "But as long as we take care of these guys, we will make a lot of money when we return to Bolum.  There is still money to be made. " "But if you want to sell a specially trained military horse at a good price, it depends on your ability, Barrett." Clematis also started to tease at this time.  "If I were to handle it, I'm afraid the profit would have to be greatly reduced." The anvil, which was shaking the water glass, suddenly said: "Then it will only be possible if these three horses complete the journey completely.  ! In the event of a battle, who of you can ensure that those horses are not injured, otherwise we will not have horse meat to eat tonight." In the previous battle with the raiding team, Rielli's fireball technique was not only effective.  Just after clearing away the marauders, two horses were also furious on the spot.  Players who haven't had much fresh meat for a long time will naturally not let go of such a good source of fresh meat.  Of course, due to the current weight of the players, the amount of meat obtained is actually not large.  "Anvil, you are such a crow-mouthed person, please stop saying a few words!" Rielle couldn't help but yell.  At the same time, Noodles, who was the most active person when cutting horse meat, also called out: "Barrett, let's make a fire and barbecue! During this period, I ate dry food every day. My mouth almost faded out of a bird. I thought I could be in the stream  Panzhen had a good meal. Who knew something like that would happen? "But living in the wilderness, I'm afraid of attracting those damn pursuers," Barrett said without certainty.  Claudia then added to her jealousy: "Barrett, just tell me! If those guys really wanted to chase us, they should have stabbed us in the back when we clashed with the raiding team.  How can we wait for now?" After hearing this, Barrett immediately turned his attention to the remaining companions.  Although they did not speak directly, Barrett also knew what these people were thinking from their eyes.  He then waved his arm: "Forget it! Since you all want to eat barbecue, let's eat barbecue! Now hurry up and collect fuel, so as not to complain about me when there is no fire." "Just go! I'll go right now  "As soon as I heard there were delicious noodles, I was so excited."The best thing is that it is faster than anyone else.  Barrett on the side took out a piece of horse meat wrapped in linen.  Start using a dagger to cut it into thin strips along the grain of the meat.  Then he rolled the strip of meat on the iron rod originally used to set up the trap.  The meat of horse meat is tender and has less fat.  It has a unique flavor and rich nutritional value. Of course, many people don¡¯t like horse meat because of its special taste.  At the same time, because foam will be produced during cooking or frying and a foul smell will emit, roasting is a relatively suitable method.  When the red bonfire rises, the thin strips of meat on the iron rod make a "squeaking" sound with the little fat they have.  Noodles and Claudia's eyes were fixed on the splash of oil.  Granular salt and pepper are ground into powder between Barrett's three fingers, then sprinkled evenly over the meat like sand flowing through an hourglass.  Along with the rising smoke, a strong aroma of meat mixed with spices immediately filled the players' nostrils.  Barrett has done his job.  He handed the barbecue, which had several layers of linen wrapped at the end, to Noodles: "The big meal I owed you before, this is the interest paid in advance." "Thank you very much!" After carefully taking the iron rod, Noodles took it out.  There is a silver dagger that I don't use often. If I pick the meat into my mouth from it and eat it directly with my mouth, I will probably get burned by the hot iron rod.  Barrett on the side took out a piece of horse meat wrapped in linen.  Start using a dagger to cut it into thin strips along the grain of the meat.  Then he rolled the strip of meat on the iron rod originally used to set up the trap.  The meat of horse meat is fresh and tender, has less fat, and contains a unique flavor and rich nutritional value.

If he ate it directly with his mouth, he would probably be burned by the hot iron rod.  (To be continued.) PS: Will be added later.  Thanks to the three big monthly votes of "Mou of Crying Blood", "Clear Night Starry Sky" and "True. Dragon's Fierce Flame".  At the same time, I would like to thank "One Inch Ash 007" and "Shentan Feibiao" for their rewards.
