As for these forcibly matured wyverns, whose lifespans had been drastically consumed—
In someone else's hands, the cost might have been a little too high. After all, although wyverns could only grow to the Gold tier,
a wyvern could maintain Gold-tier combat strength for at least a century. Having that lifespan cut by two-thirds all at once was far too wasteful.
But for Plains City, this would have no impact whatsoever.
Because even if all these wyverns died, they could still be of use to Huo Ling.
Their corpses would become undead, retaining considerable combat strength all the same.
On the backs of these wyverns sat complete sets of specialized cavalry saddles.
Knights rode atop these wyverns. Their strength was quite formidable; every one of them possessed Gold-tier combat power.
Unlike dragon riders who rode true dragons, wyverns and their riders together could produce an effect where one plus one was greater than two.
Even adult wyverns were much smaller than true dragons.
An ordinary adult wyvern was only around seven meters long, and at least a small half of that length was its tail.
A wyvern's tail carried venom, the nature of which depended on its father.
Wyverns rarely awakened abilities that allowed them to cast spells. The vast majority fought by relying on their dragon maws to bite and tear.

But wyverns were very stupid, which made them prone to injury in battle. Sometimes, they were even foolish enough to challenge enemies far stronger than themselves.
Such wyverns wasted much of their combat strength when fighting alone.
But once knights were added to these wyverns, things became entirely
