In fact, Dane was quite contemptuous of the so-called 'tradition of elves'.
Of course, if the so-called tradition is useful, it should be adhered to, and Dane will respect it. But now, the so-called elf tradition in Lancelot's mouth has become a stumbling block for him. And what he has to do is to kick this stumbling block away without hesitation!
So, just listen to him say: "That's a bad habit."
Dane's words made Lancelot's face turn cold. But Dane ignored his face, smiled, and continued: "This is not any elf country you have been in before, this is the new Aurinadu, and I am the master of Aurinadu. The elf I have always respected the traditional traditions, but outdated and outdated habits must be corrected. I hope you can understand what I said, Lancelot."
Lancelot said, "Do I have the right to refuse?"
Dane shook his head and said, "You didn't, it's an order. As long as you are still living in Oriento, then my order is equivalent to the habit of elves, do you understand?"
Lancelot was very helpless. He said: "If it is an order, I will obey it. However, I want to warn you, Your Excellency, that breaking the tradition of elves is disrespectful to the gods and will lead to punishment."
"Haha." Dane said with a big laugh, "I will repent until the day when the god's punishment comes. Now, I need an army."
"As you wish." In the end, Lancelot could only give in, and he assured Dane that it would take two weeks to train as a sword dancer based on the level of martial arts he had seen of Shaco and others—that is, Half a month's time. But the success rate cannot be guaranteed, that is to say, not every trained mercenary can become a sword dancer.
It's not that Lancelot is embarrassing Dane. In fact, this is a common problem of the elf army. Due to the low fertility rate of the elves themselves, the population is not large, but their racial characteristics, whether in martial arts or spells, have very good talents. Apart from slight disadvantages in strength and physique, it can be said to be almost a perfect race. In order to deal with this reality, the elves' army had to take the elite route.
For elves, there is no problem with the elite route. Take the training of sword dancers as an example. Most adult elves with good health and sound limbs can become qualified sword dancers after a period of training. Of course, the elimination rate is also there, but it is not high. However, humans and orcs... then no one can guarantee.
On this kind of objective issue, Dane did not embarrass Lancelot, and he was not really unreasonable.
Calling a messenger, Dane was going to call the horror mercenaries in Ghost Knife Port. In addition to some necessary defensive forces, he hoped that the soldiers of the Dread Ghost Mercenary Group could be trained by the elves as much as possible, which would be of great benefit to the improvement of the combat effectiveness of his troops.
After bidding farewell to Lancelot and leaving the War Garden, Dane came to the Ancient War Tree again. He didn't forget that among the two buildings he built, this ancient war tree can also be used to train troops.
Among the Ancient War Trees, there is no instructor like Lancelot in the War Garden. The one who is responsible for training the elf sentinels is none other than the Ancient War Tree itself!
Yes, this is an ancient tree with its own life and wisdom.
"Hello, master of Aurinadu, the most sincere friend of our forest race. You can call me Osengari, as you can see, I am an ancient tree of war."
Standing in front of Dane was a huge tree man. It seemed to be an oak tree, with only dark green leaves on the crown, which was very dense. On the vigorous bark, a strong old man's face emerged on it.
Dane explained his reason for coming to this ancient war tree, but what he got was disappointment.
Osengari regrettably told him that the sentinel troops are different from the sword dancer troops. Members of the sentinel troops have specific elf race requirements, because the sentinels must master some supernatural abilities. This ability includes stealth bonuses at night and special archery abilities. These cannot be obtained through simple training, but must be specially blessed. It can complete the blessing by itself, but only when the elf accepts such a blessing can it have the basic ability of the sentinel.
There's nothing Dane can do about it. It seems that the characteristics of the sentinel force determine that this force can only be composed of pure elves. This fact made him feel a little depressed. Right now, the elves in Aurinaidu only have five or six people. Of course, it is impossible for Druid Faro to come to participate in sentry training. And the few elves who planted trees with him have now become his assistants, and they are not suitable for being pulled over to be trained as sentries. Dane wants to have his own sentinel unit, it seems that he will have to wait for a while, until the population of Aurinadu is full.
However, having said that, the ancient war trees that have been built are not useless at this stage.
On the one hand, as a treant, Osengari, the ancient tree of war, can be moved. This means that he can move from the land of the tree of life that has been transformed to the wasteland, and then take root, subtly transforming the land attributes. Although the speed of transformation is not as fast as the Tree of Life, or even the Moonwell, it is useful anyway, and Osengari himself is very willing to do so. He has long been unhappy with the desolate land around the Tree of Life.
Of course, Dane wouldn't let him do that, it was pure overkill. A good old war tree, even if it can't be used to train sentry troops for the time being, it won't be used for farming work. If Osengari, with the word "war" in his prefix, is brought to the battlefield, how powerful will his combat power be with his huge body
With the intention of making the best use of everything, Dane dispatched the first mission to Osengari: pull up the roots from where they took root, and head towards Ghost Knife Port.
That's right, what Dane wanted was to get Osengary to Ghost Knife Port, and use it as the mainstay of Ghost Knife Port's first line of defense! No matter how powerful those faceless people are, no matter how powerful their tentacles are, can they still compare with the huge ancient war tree weighing tens of tons
Moreover, throwing Osengary to Ghost Knife Port can transform some land, so why not do it
