Seeing that the reactions given by the slaves were very positive, of course Danis felt very happy because this was a good thing.
Moreover, Danis' intention from the start was to free these slaves from their status, but he only wanted to shape their character and personality.
Where to get something they need to fight for and sacrifice what they have.
So that then there will be no bad behavior where the slave will feel like they are taking something for granted and given to them.
The other side of him also knew that not all slaves would respond positively, there were definitely some of them who also had doubts about the promise Danis made.
However, Danis doesn't really think this is important because in the end, when they arrive on the island of his territory, they will see what kind of life Danis had promised.
