Heart of Empire Chapter 215: Threats and opportunities (2 in 1)
On the tree of life, Faal used the power of natural magic and the branches of the tree of life to build a tree house. This tree house has only just been built, and it was originally intended to be used as Dane's residence and later the council hall of Aurinadu. So, up to now, after the tree house is built, Dane is still the first the one who came in, and no one came in before him.
The decoration style in the tree house is very elf-like. The two words, gorgeous and simple, which should be diametrically opposed, are well combined. The complex carving patterns are not complicated under the constraints of simple lines, and the shapes are beautiful. The simple objects or decorations are painted with elegant colors as if they were painted with one stroke. The interior color of the whole tree house is mainly in cyan, which is elegant and wonderful, and there is a certain solemn momentum contained in it.
This is the heritage of the elves, and their artistic achievements are unrivaled.
"Dane, are you satisfied with the layout of the council hall?" Fal'o claimed credit from the side, "This was designed by Esloor in a month, and nearly two hundred elves are in it. With the power of spells and the help of the tree of life, the construction was completed. Although it is not big now, we have reserved a lot of space. In the future, when manpower and material resources are abundant, and the tree of life grows stronger, we can continue to expand. I believe , in the future, one day our Aurinadu will be even greater than the palace of the Elf Queen in the Ilseth Forest!"
It can be heard that Fal'o's tone is quite arrogant. Unfortunately, Dane is not a very artistic person. But Dane felt comfortable being there, but that was all. The very artistic carved ivy chair placed at the top of this hall was supposed to sit an elegant and graceful queen, but Dane felt a special sense of disobedience when he sat on it.
He didn't feel it himself, he felt that sitting was quite comfortable.
Waving his hand, he said, "Go ahead and do your work first. After Tommy comes over, you two will come to me together. I'll stay here for a while now."
"Okay." The old druid bowed slightly, turned and left the hall.
After Faal left, Dane directly opened the game interface of Dynasty Heart.

The data displayed on the current lord's page is very different from before.
The gold coins have increased significantly, a full 100,000 more! The money can be said to have fallen from the sky. When Dane took control of the White Wolf Castle, he had the final say on the entire castle. Of course, the gold coins that Moreno had piled up in the warehouse belonged to him.
At that time, the mountains of gold coins he saw in the castle's underground warehouse almost dazzled Dane's eyes! That is really a mountain of gold. There are a total of 150,000 gold coins. This is the capital that Morno has accumulated over the years, and now it is all his.
Of course, it is absolutely impossible for Dane to eat alone. To win the castle, it has to be said that it relied largely on the support of Chapple, the officers and even ordinary soldiers in White Wolf Castle.
Since people support him, of course he has to return something. So, he directly took out 70,000 gold coins and distributed them very generously. Every soldier in White Wolf Fort
Getting their own rewards, the officers got even more rewards, and the three captains, Culin, Geb and Quincy, who followed Dane directly became rich.
Originally, Dane wanted to give Chapple a large sum of money, but Chapple declined and didn't take a dime.
Of course, the money cannot be paid all at once. Although that was fine, Dane decided to keep going. He increased the welfare of the soldiers and added a lot of rewards for military exploits. In addition to distributing part of the money directly, he also kept 20,000 gold coins as a budget for possible expenses in the future.
But even though he spent a lot, what was left in his hand made him a fortune directly. It has to be said that fighting is the fastest way to increase wealth. Such as grabbing Sombra, such as winning a city. These hundreds of thousands of gold coins are only Morno's private collection. Imagine if Dane led the army to capture the White Wolf Castle in an upright manner, and then let the soldiers under him plunder wantonly. How much money can he get if the sleazy Rotten Wolf Town robs him all over the place? I'm afraid I can't even count them!
The population and total military strength also increased dramatically. There are about 3,000 people in the White Wolf Fort and the dozen or so villages near the White Wolf Fort, including the soldiers. Rotten Wolf Town is also the core hub town in the southeast of Schindler, 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 is During the peak season, it can even reach more than 10,000.
And the skyrocketing total force 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 into the total force by the system .
Although the strength of more than 2,000 troops is much lower than that of Morneau's most powerful period, it is enough for Dane to become the second strongest in the southeast of Schindler from a mediocre mercenary leader. His strength on paper is slightly weaker than Ma Long's. After all, that guy has at least 3,000 men under his command, but Dane won't be cowardly if they really want to fight. There are nearly 500 fighters belonging to Auriel Nadu under him, but they are all elite teams!
The hundred Horror mercenaries are veterans who have survived hundreds of battles. They may be weaker than Morno's White Wolf Guard, but they must be stronger than ordinary regular troops. The number of sword dancers has soared to four squadrons, and it is the best light infantry team. A squadron of elite rangers, which is a long-range unit that Nancy Royal Court does not have many, has performed extremely well in the strategy of the Eastern Expedition.
In addition to the mages and priests who were not counted in the army, Dane dared to pat his chest and said that he brought nearly 500 people, enough to defeat twice as many enemies!
It is worth mentioning that the number of sword dancers under Dane will be doubled directly from the two squadrons, and of course they are newly recruited from the War Garden. At the beginning, when he was on the eastern wasteland, Dane predicted that the follow-up situation might be 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 quite impressive. With a sufficient price, the six-month training time originally required by the two squadrons was completed within two weeks. And the 120 elven sword dancers of these two squadrons also played a decisive role in the struggle for the White Wolf Castle. At that time, can Dane conjure soldiers? He doesn't have the ability to cast beans into soldiers!
At that time, the reason why he asked Easterlin and Cecilia to buy him 20 minutes was to buy time for the casting of the teleportation spell. The teleportation technique can be teleported with a force that does not exceed the hero's level multiplied by 100. At that time, he held back in the small building for ten minutes. After returning to Aurinadu, he immediately spent another ten minutes, and the troops who had already assembled in advance The good sword dancers brought together to the White Wolf Castle, and finally completed the counter-kill against Costa.
During that battle, not many soldiers died in battle, including not many people who died in White Wolf Fort. Except for the dozens of people that Costa threw into the small building one after another to die, when Dane came out with his troops, the soldiers of White Wolf Castle didn't last long before being scattered or surrendered. The total number of casualties on both sides was just over a hundred people, which is not too much for a military coup that seized an entire castle.
Take
After going down to White Wolf Castle, Dane's comprehensive strength has been greatly improved, and he has even directly crossed the threshold from mercenary to warlord. This is what he led his soldiers to fight desperately on the eastern wasteland. Although there are some notorious and insidious methods used in the process, who dares to say that he was clean when he started?
What's more, Dane doesn't care about these things at all. No one sees him as a good person, and he never thinks of himself as a good person. He felt that he was worthy of such a harvest.
In fact it is.
This is a world of laughing at the poor but not laughing at the prostitutes. Whoever wins is fair and aboveboard. Those who lose are idiots. Luckier, like Morneau, it is not bad to be a hero, but People are dead, there is a fart.
The power has leaped to a higher level in a short period of time, but Dane is not unaware of problems and hidden dangers. The growth of his power comes from the gains from inheriting the White Wolf Fort, but the White Wolf Fort has just been acquired, and many things need to be further slowly digested. The problem of White Wolf Fort is not big, Chapple is supporting him, the three captains are supporting him, and the middle and lower ranks of officers are basically welcome to his rule now, thanks to Dane's heroic rewards. attitude.
But it was Rotten Wolf Town that worried Dane. Rotten Wolf Town used to be Morno's territory, and the distance between White Wolf Fort and Rotten Wolf Town would take two hours on foot. The two are in a symbiotic relationship. White Wolf Fort needs the money and resources of Rotten Wolf Town, and Rotten Wolf Town also needs the military protection of White Wolf Fort. The mayor of Rotten Wolf Town, Fat Pig Barber is a big businessman supported by Moreno, and was entrusted to manage Rotten Wolf Town.
But Dane didn't like this guy very much. When Dane was still in the Horror Mercenary Corps, he spent many years in Rotten Wolf Town and heard a lot of bad things about this guy. Greedy, insidious and cunning, not a good person.
Of course, Dane didn't care much about these things. However, at today's announcement ceremony, Dane did not meet Barber. The fat man only sent a representative and brought some gifts, but he himself was not present.
It's an attitude, at least according to Dane. The boss at the top has been replaced. That guy occupies such an important position as the mayor of Rotten Wolf Town, and he doesn't even come to the scene in person?
Dane began to have concerns about Barber. However, even if he had no worries, this fat man was someone Dane would 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, it has almost no production. The dozen or so villages next to it are not very rich. How could it be possible to support an entire White Wolf Castle with these things? Without Rotten Wolf Town, the soldiers in White Wolf Fort would starve to death.
For such an important place to make money, Dane must give it to someone he completely trusts, so that he can rest assured. Perhaps, it is precisely because Barber understands this point that he knows that after Moreno's death and the change of the White Wolf Fort, no matter what he does, it is difficult for him to stay in this position, so he puts on Such an attitude.
However ~IndoMTL.com~ is precisely because of this, Dane decided that the matter in Rotten Wolf Town should be resolved quickly. It doesn't matter what Barber's attitude is, but what Dane is worried about is that this fat man will do something he doesn't want to see in Rotten Wolf Town, and that will be a big trouble.
People are also moved by Moore's influence in Shawan Port. The situation there is more complicated, and Ma Long is watching outside. If things go wrong, there will be big problems in the site of this port city, which has more development potential than Rotten Wolf Town.
The impact of Morneau's death is indeed nothing. All ghosts and ghosts jumped out at this time. Dane, this will be the first challenge he will face after becoming the new warlord of White Wolf Castle. Whether he can solve it perfectly will almost determine whether he can secure this position.
It was precisely because of these external threats that Dane felt a sense of urgency. Forging iron still needs to be hard, and his most solid foundation is still on the island of Comilla. He has to quickly develop Comilla's strength to a strong enough point, so that he can better deal with the wind and rain outside.
There is still some good news, Auriana is not far from being promoted to a third-level base. The population of 1,000 has been reached, and the difference is that only a few buildings have not been upgraded to the second-level level
. And this time when he comes back, the most important task is to get Auriana to level three first!
Today is still a two-in-one chapter.
I try to be as stable as 4 a day, more than enough. Originally, I wanted to add more updates on the 11th, but I didn't come to overtime to add more.
