Chapter 215: Threats and Opportunities (2-in-1)
On the Tree of Life, Faro used the power of the Divine Magic of Nature and the branches of the Tree of Life itself to build a treehouse. This treehouse www.biquge.info has just been built, and it was originally intended to be used as Dain's residence, and later for the council hall of Orinadus, so until now, after the treehouse was built, Dane was the first to come in, and no one had ever come in before him.
The decoration style in the treehouse is very elfty, the two words ornate and simple, which should be diametrically opposed, are well combined, and the complex carved lines do not look complicated under the constraints of simple lines; Simple objects or ornaments with wonderful shapes are depicted in elegant colors as if they were painted with a single stroke; The interior color of the entire treehouse is mainly cyan, elegant and wonderful, and there is a certain solemn momentum contained in it.
This is the essence of the elves, and their artistic achievements are unmatched.
"Dane, you're pretty happy with the layout of the council room, right?" Falo invited on the side, "This was designed by Eslor for a month, nearly two hundred elves were built with the power of spells and with the help of the Tree of Life, although it is not big now, but we have reserved a lot of space, and in the future, if there are more manpower and material resources, and the Tree of Life will grow stronger, we can continue to expand." I believe that in the future, one day our Orinedu will be even greater than the Elven Empress's palace in the Ilsyth Forest! ”
You can hear that Faro's tone is quite proud. It's a pity that Dane is not a very artistic person. But Dane felt comfortable staying, but that was all. The very artistic carved rattan chair placed at the top of this hall was supposed to sit an elegant and graceful queen, and Dane had a special sense of disobedience when he sat on it.
He didn't feel it himself, he felt comfortable to sit on.
With a wave of his hand, he said, "You go get busy first, and when Tommy comes, you two will come to me together." I'll be here for a while. ”
"Okay." The old druid bowed slightly, turned and left the hall.
After Fallo left, Dane directly opened the game interface of "Dynasty Hearts".

……
The data displayed in the lord's board is very different from what it used to be.
The number of gold coins has increased dramatically, and it is 100,000 more! This money can be said to have fallen from the sky, when Dane took control of the White Wolf Castle, the entire castle was up to him, and the gold coins that Morno had piled up in the warehouse would of course belong to him.
At that time, the mountain of gold coins seen in the underground warehouse of the castle almost dazzled Dane's eyes! It was really a mountain of gold, counting down to 150,000 gold coins, which was the old book that Morno had saved for many years, and now, it was all his.
Of course, Dane could never eat alone. To take the castle, I have to say that to a large extent, it depends on the support of Chapur, as well as those officers and even ordinary soldiers in the White Wolf Castle.
Since people support him, of course he has to reciprocate. So, he directly took out 70,000 gold coins and divided them very generously. Every soldier in the White Wolf Castle received their own rewards, and the officers were rewarded even more, and the three captains who followed Dane were even more rich.
Originally, Dane wanted to give Chappell a large sum of money, but Chappelle refused and didn't take a dime.
Of course, this money cannot be sent all at once. That would have worked, but Dane decided that it would take a long time - he increased the welfare of his soldiers and added many rewards for his exploits. In addition to a portion of the money that was directly distributed, he also kept 20,000 gold coins as a budget for possible expenses in the future.
But even if he spent a lot, what was left in his hand still made him a fortune directly. It has to be said that fighting a war is the fastest way to increase wealth. For example, grabbing Sombra, such as taking a city. These hundreds of thousands of gold coins are just Morno's private collection, you can imagine how much money he can get if Dane led the army to capture the White Wolf Castle with an honest army, and then blackly let his soldiers plunder it and rob the White Wolf Castle and the rich Rotten Wolf Town? I'm afraid I can't count them!
The same data has skyrocketed in terms of population and total military strength. The White Wolf Fort and the dozen or so villages near the White Wolf Fort numbered almost 3,000 people, including the soldiers. Rotten Wolf Town is also the core hub town in the southeast of Sindelare, with a permanent population of 5,000, if you count the floating population of caravans and travelers who transit in Rotten Wolf Town all year round, the population of Rotten Wolf Town can even reach more than 10,000 in the peak season.
And the skyrocketing of the total strength is, of course, because after the White Wolf Castle belonged to him, the 1,500 white wolf soldiers left behind by Morno also belonged to him, and they were counted by the system into the total strength.
The strength of more than 2,000 people, although it is much worse than Morno's heyday, is enough to make Dane from an unpopular mercenary leader to the second most powerful force in the southeast of Sindelare-on paper is slightly worse than Malone, after all, that guy has at least more than 3,000 men under his command, but if it really wants to fight, Dane will not be intimidated. The nearly 500 warriors under his own command belonging to Orinedu are all elite troops!
A hundred dreaded mercenaries, it can be said that they are all veterans who have survived a hundred battles, and their strength may be worse than Morno's White Wolf Guard, but they must be stronger than ordinary regular troops. The number of sword dancers has skyrocketed to four squadrons, and they are one of the best light infantry teams. An elite ranger of a squadron, which is not much of a ranged unit in the Nancy royal court, is extremely prominent in the Eastern Crusade strategy.
Coupled with the mages and priests who were not counted in the army, Dane dared to pat his chest and say that he took these nearly five hundred people with him, which was enough to defeat twice as many enemies!
It is worth mentioning that the number of sword dancers under Dane will be directly doubled from the two squadrons, of course, newly recruited from the war courtyard. At the beginning, when he was on the Eastern Wasteland, Dane predicted that the follow-up situation might be more difficult, so he gritted his teeth and spent almost all the war points in his hand at that time to speed up the training of recruits in the War Garden.
The effect of the war module is still quite impressive, and at a sufficient cost, the six months of training that the two squadrons would have required were completed in two weeks. And the one hundred and twenty elven sword dancers of these two squadrons also played a decisive role in the struggle for the White Wolf Fort - otherwise, when he was bombarded by Costa with a cannon in Chapur's small building, Dane would not have been able to conjure up soldiers? He doesn't have the skills to sprinkle beans into soldiers!
The reason why he asked Easterling and Cecilia to help him buy twenty minutes was to buy time for the teleportation spell. Teleportation can be carried with no more than a hero level multiplied by a hundred troops, he was in the small building for ten minutes, and after returning to Orinedu, it immediately took another ten minutes to bring the sword dancers that had been assembled in advance to the White Wolf Castle, and finally completed the counterattack against Costa.
In that battle, not many soldiers died in battle, including not many people died in White Wolf Castle. Except for the dozens of people that Costa threw into the small building one after another to send to death, when Dane came out with his men and horses, the soldiers of White Wolf Fort did not hold out for too long before they were scattered or surrendered. The total number of dead and wounded on both sides is just over a hundred, which is not too many deaths for a military coup that captures an entire castle.
After taking the White Wolf Castle, Dane's current comprehensive strength has increased so much that he has even directly crossed the threshold from a mercenary to a warlord. This is what he brought with his soldiers in the Eastern Wasteland, although there are some insidious methods that are not obvious in the middle, but who dares to say that he was clean when he started?
What's more, Dane himself doesn't care about these at all, no one sees him as a good person, and he never thinks of himself as a good person. He felt that he deserved such a reward.
In fact, this is also true.
This is a world of laughing at the poor and not laughing at prostitutes, whoever wins is above board, and those who lose are stupid, and they are lucky, like Morno, it is good to be able to get the name of a hero, but everyone is dead, and there is a fart.
The forces have leapt a step forward in a short period of time, but Dane is not unaware of the problems and hidden dangers. The growth of his power comes from inheriting the harvest of the White Wolf Castle, but the White Wolf Castle has just arrived, and many things need to be further digested slowly. The problem of White Wolf Fort is not big, Chapur is supporting him, the three captains are supporting him, and the middle and lower rank officers are now basically welcoming his rule, under the generous reward of Dane.
But what worries Dane is Rotten Wolf Town. Rotten Wolf Town used to be Morno's territory, and the distance between White Wolf Fort and Rotten Wolf Town was a two-hour walk away. The two are in a symbiotic relationship, White Wolf Fort needs the support of money and resources from Rotten Wolf Town, and Rotten Wolf Town also needs the military protection of White Wolf Fort. The mayor of Rotten Wolf Town, Bobble the Fat Pig is a big merchant who has been single-handedly supported by Morno, and has been entrusted with the management of Rotten Wolf Town.
But this guy, Dane has never liked very much. When Dane was still in the Dire Ghost Mercenary Group, he had been in Rotten Wolf Town all the year round, and he had heard a lot of bad reputation from this guy. Greedy, insidious and cunning, not a good person.
Of course, these Danes didn't care much. However, at today's proclamation, Dane did not see Bobble. The fat man sent only one representative and sent some gifts, but he himself was not present.
It's an attitudinal performance, at least in Dane's opinion. The boss above has changed, and that guy occupies such an important position as the mayor of Rotten Wolf Town, and he didn't even come in person?
Dane had concerns about Bobble. However, even if there are no worries, this fat man is also a person that Dane will have to deal with in the future.
Rotten Wolf Town is too important, White Wolf Fort is a military castle, except for some blacksmith shops in the castle for soldiers, there is almost no production, and the dozen or so villages next to it are not very rich, how can they afford to raise an entire White Wolf Fort with these things? Without Rotten Wolf Town, the soldiers of White Wolf Fort would have starved to death.
Such an important place to make money, Dane must be handed over to someone he completely trusts to be able to rest assured. Perhaps, it is precisely because Barber understands this that he knows that after Morno died and the White Wolf Castle changed, no matter what he did, it was estimated that it would be difficult for him to continue to stay in this position, so he put on such an attitude.
However, it is precisely because of this that Dane decides that the matter of Rotten Wolf Town must be resolved quickly. It didn't matter what Bobble's attitude was, but Dane's fear was that the fat dead man would do something he didn't want to see in Rotten Wolf Town, and that would be a big problem.
Also in the minds of people is Molno's forces in Shawan Harbor, where the situation is even more complicated, and there is Ma Long eyeing him outside. If it is not done well, the territory of this port city with more development potential than Rotten Wolf Town will have big problems.
The impact of Morno's death is indeed not small, and all the ghosts and spirits have jumped out at this time. Dane's famous watch, this will be the first challenge he will face after becoming the new overseer of White Wolf Castle, whether he can solve it perfectly or not is almost destined whether he can sit in this position.
It was precisely because of these external threats that a sense of urgency rose in Dane's heart. Iron still needs to be hard, and his most solid foundation is still on the island of Komya. He had to hurry up and develop Komyrya's strength to the point where he could better cope with the storm outside.
There is still good news, Orinedu is not far from being promoted to a third-level base. The number of 1,000 people has been reached, and only a few buildings have not yet been upgraded to the level of the second level. And this time when he comes back, the most important task is to get Orina to the third level first!
