After the furious effect ended, Dane, who had fallen into a state of inevitable weakness, continued to patrol the battlefield where the battle had ended. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

When reinforcements from Orinedu arrived, the battle was over in less than twenty minutes. When the battlefield was cleared, only one-tenth of the more than 200 faceless ones were able to escape, and all the rest died here. As for those hairless hyenas, none of them ran away. At his request, the heads of these monsters were all cut off. The mercenaries wanted to do this work willingly, and they all hated these monsters with no facial features and messy tentacles.

This is undoubtedly a big victory. Although, the mercenary team he led to guard the Ghost Knife Harbor at the beginning also had certain losses, the casualties of the two squads made him feel distressed, and the soldiers who came from Orinadus suffered much less losses. Three sword dancers were killed, and six mercenaries were killed. However, in the end, Dane was able to accomplish his intended goal: to win the battle with no more than thirty casualties.

There were a slight number of places over the limit, but that didn't affect Dane's mood. At such a price, it is quite valuable to solve the great problem of stepping into the island of Komya.

Dane yelled, "Let the brothers rest, eat something, replenish their strength, and set off in two hours." We're going to wipe out the nest of those disgusting monsters! ”

"Good!" Sentiment was high.

Although Dane had already made the decision to take advantage of the victory, an hour or two of rest was necessary. The third squadron, which was originally guarding the Ghost Knife Harbor, was quite tired in the successive battles, and even didn't eat a stable meal for a day. And the 1st Squadron and the 2nd Squadron from Orinedu, although they were only involved in the climactic part of the battle, were not an easy task when they came from a rapid march thirty kilometers away. What's more, Dane himself is suffering from the weakened state after the end of the rage,

While waiting for his weakness to pass, Dane sought out Lanstrow.

"Your Excellency." When Dane found him, this **** sword dancer instructor with tattoos on his upper body was cleaning up the blood stains on his two long knives full of elf-style style.

Dane casually found a slightly cleaner place next to him and sat down, the battlefield littered with blood and corpse stumps. He said, "You did so well in the battle just now, and I want to fight with you a little." ”

Lanstrow raised his head, looked at Dane, smiled and said, "Okay, when the war is over, we can try it when we have time." I also want to see, Dane, your knife skills. ”

The two of them, because of the 'elven tradition' before, were somewhat stumbling. Lanstrour was initially reluctant to train human and orc mercenaries as sword dancers, but was forced to comply.

But now, the change from 'Your Excellency' to his name proves that the distance between the two is not as far as it was at the beginning.

After a few small talks, Dane got down to business: "Didn't I hand over ninety mercenaries to you?" Why are there only three squads of sword dancers I see now? ”

Lanstrow shook his head and said, "The training of a sword dancer is not something that everyone can complete. Even if it is an adult and healthy elf, the elimination rate of training in three months will be about ten to twenty percent, let alone humans. Although these mercenaries you handed over to me have a certain foundation in martial arts, it is already very unexpected for me to have more than 30 out of 90 people pass the sword dancer test in half a month of rapid training. Moreover, there is one more point, as practice has proven, that a half-orc cannot become a sword dancer. None of the trained orcs were able to comprehend the elven secret method, which should be related to the racial barrier. And human warriors, after being trained, have a knockout rate of up to half. ”

Dane hadn't noticed this before, but now it seems that the mercenaries under his command who were sent to the war courtyard for training are indeed human beings who have successfully become sword dancers.

"And ......," Lanstrrow looked like he was about to speak.

Dane said: "Just say it bluntly, I don't like other people's hesitation the most." ”

Lanstrow nodded and said, "It seems that our resource reserves are not enough, and the training of sword dancers has consumed a lot. ”

"Huh?" Dane frowned, knowing the reason in Lanstrrow's subsequent explanation.

Of course, the training of sword dancers does not cost money, but the tattoos on the soldiers who have passed the training are not simple decorations. These tattoos can be said to be one of the sources of strength for sword dancers. It contains the secret method of the elves, which can greatly enhance the agility and flexibility of the person receiving the tattoo, and allows them to perform special sword dance tricks through the secret method of the elves. And to carve tattoos on their bodies, it costs money to carve.

Lanstrow is a sword dancer instructor, the one who has mastered the ability to portray sword dance tattoos, and of course he is himself. It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and the raw materials needed for the tattoo on the body of a squad of sword dancers cost one unit of gems and mercury.

The news made Dane's flesh grin in pain. His mind spun quickly, and he converted resources into gold coins in an instant.

Mercury and precious stones, when converted into one unit, are almost equal to two hundred gold coins. A small team, twelve people, would spend four hundred gold coins for tattooing, and the average person would have to pay nearly forty gold coins. In other words, a sword dancer is about equal to a soldier plus a set of weapons and four hundred gold coins to be armed, which is simply too expensive!

In Hindlaire, the price of a warlord arming a soldier was no more than ten gold coins. Even an elite warrior wearing metal armor is only about twenty gold coins. A light cavalry, even with men and horses, forty or fifty gold coins is about the same. And here in Dain, the unarmed sword dancer costs forty gold coins just for a tattoo, which is about the price of a light cavalry with men and horses, and then counting the labor cost and the elven long knife they hold in their hands, these are all money!

Looking at it whole, the cost of Dane to become a sword dancer is almost around fifty gold coins. Right now, the three squads of sword dancers sitting on the side resting were equivalent to spending him fifteen hundred gold coins, how could this make him not have a toothache?
