The two existing teams of Spartan heavy infantry in Rome City are all in the camp of the Cheetah Legion, and they are busy training the super long pikemen of the Cheetah Legion all day long.
In fact, according to Bai Feng's plan, he did not plan to transfer the two teams of Spartan heavy infantry from the Cheetah Legion, even if the training of the Cheetah Legion was completed in the future, Bai Feng decided to leave these two teams of Spartan heavy infantry in the Cheetah Legion.
A strictly trained army is at best a scaffolded army, and only after brutal actual combat tests can an army complete the transformation from an ordinary army to an elite division, and what the Cheetah Legion lacks is such actual combat.
When the city of Rome launched an attack on the other forces of the Acenian tribe, the Cheetah Legion of Gatus would become the main force in the field, and Bai Feng would personally shape the Cheetah Legion into one of the most powerful legions in the city of Rome and carry forward the Macedonian phalanx in this world!
Perhaps it is difficult for the armies of the civilized world to form an absolute advantage with the Macedonian phalanx, after all, the armies of the civilized world have the advantages of strict training, sophisticated equipment, and flexible tactics, which are all things that the barbarian armies do not have.
However, the barbarian army will never be the core force of the Roman city, and the Macedonian phalanx is not the strongest battle formation in the Roman city; Bai Feng really relies on the army recruited from the system, and the most powerful Roman legion in the Roman city is still able to defeat the Macedonian phalanx head-on!
This is a bit far, before the population of Rome City has not reached a certain level, Bai Feng's thoughts about the Roman legions are all illusory conjectures, without any practical value, it is better to find a way to improve the combat effectiveness of the barbarian legions.
The two teams of Spartan heavy infantry of the Cheetah Legion could not be used for the training of the Tasia Legion for the time being, and Bai Feng, who had nothing to do, had to run to the Temple of Apollo with a full six idols, and this time Bai Feng wanted to recruit not one or two teams of Spartan heavy infantry.
In any case, after all, the Macedonian phalanx was a battle formation created by the Macedonian kingdom, and the pikemen of the Macedonian faction may have more experience in this area, so Bai Feng decided not to recruit Spartan heavy infantry this time, but chose to recruit Macedonian pikemen.
Of course, the reason why Bai Feng went to the Temple of Apollo with the six idols was not to recruit a few teams of ordinary Macedonian pikemen with average combat effectiveness, what he wanted to recruit was the Macedonian royal pikemen and the Macedonian royal cavalry!
Needless to say, the Macedonian royal cavalry was the most powerful cavalry unit on the entire Greek peninsula, the cavalry of Alexander the Great's companion cavalry, and their combat effectiveness was the best among the heavy cavalry.
The purpose of Bai Feng's recruitment of the Macedonian royal cavalry was to train them in the cavalry units of the Cheetah Legion and the Tassia Legion, and it would be a bit nonsense to say that the cavalry of those two legions could reach the combat effectiveness of the cavalry of the companion cavalry, but at least it could not be the Greek cavalry.
If it is purely measured by the standard of Bai Feng, then the elite cavalry under Nelson, that is, the combat effectiveness of the Macedonian cavalry, is in vain to deal with any powerful enemy, but it is still possible to crush the Roman light cavalry.
As for the newly formed thousand-man cavalry of the Cheetah Legion and the Tassia Legion, their combat effectiveness is even worse than that of the Greek cavalry, which is known as the weakest cavalry, and they are basically infantry on war horses, and it is good not to fall off their horses.
The core of the Macedonian phalanx is the cooperation of the cavalry and the phalanx, Bai Feng tried every means to train the pikemen phalanx to be elite, without the cooperation of the powerful cavalry, it is still impossible to give full play to the strong combat effectiveness of the Macedonian phalanx, which is also an indisputable fact.
In desperation, Bai Feng decided to summon four teams of Macedonian royal cavalry at one time for the cavalry training of these two legions, and recruit four more teams of Macedonian royal pikemen for the training of the pikemen phalanx of the Tasya legion.
In order to improve the combat effectiveness of the Cheetah Legion and the Tasya Legion, Bai Feng also invested in it; the period of summoning troops in the temple attribute is once every three months, and this time Bai Feng wants to summon eight teams of troops, which will shorten the time by twenty-four months.
It is still unknown whether the power of faith obtained by the sacrifice of the six gods will be enough for the recruitment of these eight teams, and Bai Feng, who has made up his mind, can only grit his teeth and take the six gods to the temple first, and tell the high priest of Binglan his request.
High Priest Binglan was also shocked by Bai Feng's recent frequent summoning of troops, in her opinion, Bai Feng's way of using the power of faith should be the most wasteful of all methods, anyway, there is a summon every three months, why rush to summon now?
What's more, purposeful summoning costs twice as much faith power as random summoning, which means that what Bai Feng needs to shorten is not twenty-four months, but a terrifying forty-eight months!
The dumbfounded Bai Feng realized the difference between a random summon and a purposeful summon, but Bai Feng was not a person who gave up easily, even with the persuasion of the High Priest Binglan, he still decided to continue this summoning, and still had to summon eight teams of troops!
As the high priest of the temple, Bing Lan only had the right to suggest Bai Feng's decision, but not the right to decide, since Bai Feng was obsessed with carrying out this summoning to the end, what else could Bing Lan say? So, this summoning that consumed a lot of money began like this.
Class: Macedonian Royal Cavalry
Capacity: 108
Experience: Level 3
Recruitment/Maintenance Cost: Special Recruitment/240 Gold
Armament: heavy armor, spear
Characteristics: Can form a wedge formation, good morale, strong charge, good stamina
The attributes of the Macedonian royal cavalry are still good, and the experience level second only to the Germanic berserkers and the Spartan heavy infantry is also satisfactory to Bai Feng, and the only thing that makes Bai Feng dissatisfied is that the four teams of Macedonian royal cavalry actually consumed four statues!
At this time, the high priest of Binglan once again confessed to Bai Feng that if Bai Feng still wanted to continue to summon the remaining four teams of Macedonian royal pikemen, then he still needed to take two more idols to sacrifice, and it was impossible to summon four teams of troops with only two idols.
Although Bai Feng had long been prepared for heavy bleeding, the amount of bleeding was still beyond his worst estimate, using eight idols to summon four teams of Macedonian royal cavalry and four teams of Macedonian royal pikemen, Bai Feng felt a toothache when he thought about it!

Bai Feng, who didn't hit the south wall and didn't look back, still carried out this summoning, and four teams of Macedonian royal pikemen were still summoned;
