A sense of superiority is nothing more than an inferiority complex to walk in an upside-down posture.

After about half an hour had passed, Bai Feng, who had finally put down the things in his hand, raised his head again and asked Vipsani, "Vipsani, how do the 2.3 million barbarian people in the eighteen towns under the rule of our Roman City recognize our Roman City now?"

"The Governor, the Commander of the Garrison Headquarters a year ago, would lead his two thousand elite soldiers to the newly built towns of the former Virther tribe every once in a while, and now, even if there were no garrisons in the towns, it would not affect anything. ”

Vepsani's serious description made a smile appear on Bai Feng's face, and he said in a relaxed tone: "In this way, the barbarian people under the rule of our Roman City still have a good degree of identification with our Roman City, at least they have no intention of rebellion. ”

"It's not just that there is no rebellion. Vipsani, who knew the situation of each town well, said with a smile on his face: "As long as you give an order from the governor, hundreds of thousands of barbarians in the eighteen towns can become the most loyal and fearless warriors under your command at any time!"

"In the end, all the people are soldiers, and there are as many soldiers as there are young and strong. Bai Feng said with emotion: "If the young and strong of the Heavenly Dragon Empire also have such combat power, why have they been repeatedly invaded by the Orc Empire in the east and the grassland tribes in the north?"

"Governor, each nation has its own peculiarities that no other nation can learn from or imitate. In this regard, Wipsani explained with a smile: "The Terrans are strong in learning and creating, and combat is just one of their many secondary strengths. ”

"In my opinion, the reason why the Terran army can compete with the armies of the barbarians, orcs, and steppe tribes is not their own combat effectiveness, but the sophisticated weapons and equipment they have created with the characteristics they have created, which is the key to their victory. ”

"I believe in tactical innovation and flexibility rather than the creation and upgrading of weapons and equipment. Bai Feng, who couldn't deny Vipsani's statement, said calmly: "The reason why the human race can become the hegemon of the continent is not by force, but by wisdom. ”

"The Governor is wise!" and after a slap in the face, Vipsani continued the topic earlier: "With the increase in grain production and economic prosperity in various towns, those barbarian people have become die-hard supporters of our Roman city. ”

"Hello die-hard supporters, isn't this what we have worked hard to plan and build towns for them and help them improve their living environment?" Bai Feng said happily: "Only when more and more barbarian people support us, can our strength become stronger and stronger!"

Speaking of this, Bai Feng suddenly changed his words and asked Vipsani and Luquis, "What is the situation on the Essini Kingdom's side, why did the size of their personal guard army suddenly increase to 25,000 soldiers, is there something going on?"

Vipsani and Luquis, who looked at each other, didn't quite understand why Bai Feng had talked about the towns under the rule of Rome and mentioned the kingdom of Aceni, but Vipsani still replied in 1510:

"Governor, the cooperation between our Governor's Office and the Essini Kingdom is mainly economic, in addition to exchanging a large amount of grain for the specialties of the Essini Kingdom every month, the people's trade is also very frequent, which greatly promotes the development of the Essini Kingdom. ”

After Vipsani's words, Luquis picked up and continued: "Governor, according to the report of our garrison in the kingdom of Aceni, the reason why the Legion of the Estheni Kingdom has expanded is because Queen Boudicca intends to send two legions under our command. ”

"Send two legions to our command?" Bai Feng, who was moved, frowned slightly: "It's the first legion of Narbador and the second legion of Assam, why did Queen Boudicca hand over these two legions to us for command, and the garrison reported them?"

"It is true that Queen Boudicca wants to send us these two legions, and she does not specify why. Luquis explained: "The reason why Queen Boudicca did not report to the Doge's Palace was because she knew that you were not in Rome. ”

Bai Feng, whose face sank like water, said in a deep voice: "Isn't it possible that if I am not in the city of Rome, she can make decisions on this kind of thing?"

"Governor, Queen Boudicca is not in charge of this matter. Knowing that Bai Feng was already angry, Lu Quis said calmly: "The reason why she didn't officially report to the Governor's Mansion is because she wants to wait for you to come back before reporting this matter to you personally." ”

"Up to now, the armies of the Aceni Kingdom are still all stationed in their capital city, and even the expanded personal legions have not left a single step without permission, even if the Aceni Kingdom is regaining its strength, they are still under our control. ”

Luquis, who was still speaking for Queen Boudicca and the Aceni Kingdom in the first half of the sentence, was expressing his stance to Bai Feng in the second half of the sentence; indeed, with the strong military strength of the Roman city, the Aceni Kingdom, with a total population of only more than 500,000, could indeed not make any waves.

In fact, the reason why Bai Feng reacted so strongly just now was mainly because he had an inexplicable relationship between himself and Queen Boudicca, and it was this relationship that made Bai Feng particularly disgusted by Queen Boudicca's doing anything beyond the thunder pool.

There is no doubt that a woman who knows how to advance and retreat can win the heart of a man, and a woman who likes to use men, intentionally or unintentionally, will only lose the heart of a man in the end, because the more powerful and ambitious a man is, the more he cannot stand this kind of use.

Sitting on the Roman city system and hundreds of thousands of elite troops, is Bai Feng a man with power ambitions, needless to say? Therefore, he doesn't want Queen Boudicca to do anything arrogant, and he doesn't want to see the people under his command, even Queen Boudicca's arrogance.

Fortunately, Luquis's answer dispelled Bai Feng's worries, and Queen Boudicca's performance did not disappoint Bai Feng after all;

"Vipsani, you have officially sent an order to Queen Boudicca early tomorrow morning in the name of the Doge's Palace, so that the First and Second Legions of the Aceni Kingdom will rush to Rome within half a month to assemble and participate in our next battle to the north. ”

"No!" Vipsani agreed without objection.

"Luquis, how is the formation of the Sixth and Seventh Legions going, and how long will it take to form combat effectiveness?"

"Marcus's Sixth Legion was formed earlier, and the three Longbow Wings were all fully formed, and the four Roman Wings were only half formed, and Luculus's Seventh Legion was formed late, and the three Longbow Wings were not yet fully formed. ”

"Haven't the three longbow wings of the Seventh Legion reached full strength?" Bai Feng, who was slightly disappointed, ordered Luquis: "Within half a month, we must ensure that the three longbow wings of the Seventh Legion reach full strength!"

"No!" Luquis's execution of the order naturally went without saying.

"In addition, a complete combat brigade will be drawn from each of the five Roman legions that are fully staffed, and readjusted to supplement the Sixth and Seventh Legions;

"No!"
