Religion makes people believe in God, not as its object, but as its end. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

- Thomas Aquinas (medieval scholastic philosopher and theologian)

Fortunately, with the current scale of the two trading fleets in Rome City and the demand for water transportation in Rome City, Bai Feng does not need to spend precious treasury funds to build transport ships and merchant ships in a short period of time;

After determining the special role of the shipbuilding workshop, Bai Feng, who was not in a hurry to return to Rome, also took a transport ship to the east bank of the Cangluo River to inspect the transportation of grain and grass and the construction of roads on the east bank.

Returning to Rome before nightfall, Bai Feng returned to the governor's palace and had a hasty dinner, and began to wonder whether he should take out the idol again to sacrifice, which was not only related to the speed of the development of the city of Rome, but also determined the focus of the next construction of the city of Rome.

The building under construction in Rome at this time is the market, and after the market is completed, Bai Feng plans to build a shooting range first, and the construction cycle of the market and the shooting range is forty days, and the construction time is too slow, which will seriously restrict the progress of the special training of the Roman army.

Whether it was the Governor's Guard under Peris, or the two Macedonian phalanx legions of Gamilios and Gatus, these armies that were about to be or had already undergone large-scale special training had a large number of longbowmen and needed to build a shooting range for special training as soon as possible.

In addition, with the rapid increase in the population of the city of Rome, the public health problem has become more and more serious, and the Romans are known for their love of bathing, but the city of Rome does not even have large public baths.

Had it not been for the important role played by the sewers built during the period of the big towns, the city of Rome, which had grown in population, would have become a stinking city, and even then the construction of public baths would have been imminent.

Considering the current situation of the city of Rome, Bai Feng felt that it was necessary for him to sacrifice the statues of the gods with small reserves again to promote the development of the city of Rome, otherwise, it would be too slow to rely on the gradual development of the city itself.

After a night of thinking, Bai Feng decided to take out four of the twenty-four gods in Rome City's existing reserve of gods and sacrifice them, because the high priest of Binglan had already handed over the affairs of the temple to those new sacrifices, so Bai Feng didn't need to do anything deliberately.

The next morning, after briefly dealing with some military affairs in the city of Rome, Bai Feng took his retinue and the four statues of the gods to the direction where the Great Temple of Apollo was located, and this sacrifice would be the first time that Bai Feng had sacrificed without the High Priest of Binglan.

It turns out that after the Great Temple of Apollo did not have the high priest of Binglan, the flesh-and-blood high priest, the other sacrifices were completely like cold robots, and their expressionless faces made their own beauty lose their vitality and agility.

A routine conversation made Bai Feng have no good impression of this beautiful sacrifice who was in charge of the sacrifice, and the four statues containing the power of faith, in addition to the market, shooting range, and public bath in an instant, there was still a small half of the remaining for Bai Feng to use.

For this small half of the power of faith, Bai Feng, who had planned it for a long time, naturally couldn't waste it, he first used these power of faith to add five thousand people to the city of Rome, and then summoned two teams of special troops, and it was the random summoning of the most economical power of faith.

In this way, the power of faith obtained from the sacrifice of the four gods this time was also exhausted, and the completion of the three buildings and the increase in the population of 5,000 were immediately visible to Bai Feng from the attribute table of Rome City, and the two special troops needed to be seen by him with his own eyes.

Class: Ironclad Cavalry

Capacity: 108

Experience: Level 4

Recruitment/Maintenance Cost: Special Recruitment/140 Gold

Armament: Full set of armor, iron spear, iron warhorse

Characteristics: Can form a wedge formation, good morale, strong charge

The familiar attribute bar and the familiar silver ironclad cavalry made Bai Feng, who was in an ordinary mood, suddenly light up the moment he walked out of the temple, and the two teams of Seleucid ironclad cavalry summoned last time made Bai Feng, who had always liked heavy cavalry, happy for several days.

This summon is still two teams of Seleucid ironclad cavalry with strong combat effectiveness, which makes Bai Feng, who intends to form a heavy cavalry unit in his heart, how can he not be happy?!

Bai Feng, who was accustomed to being moody, quickly restrained the smile on his face, and asked Maxi, the commander of the Guards Battalion, to take the two teams of ironclad cavalry to the camp of the Guards Battalion.

The Guards Battalion, led by Maxi and Darnell, had completely replaced the Doge's Guard and became Bai Feng's own Guard, and all the other special armies summoned by the Temple belonged to the Guards Battalion, except for the four Roman Youth Armies at the beginning of the city.

The current guard battalion has a total of four Roman youth troops, one team of Cretan archers, one team of Parthian archers, four teams of Macedonian royal cavalry, plus the two new teams of Seleucid ironclad cavalry summoned today, and also has four teams of Seleucid ironclad cavalry.

In addition, there were three undivided troops, namely twenty Germanic berserkers, seventy-four Spartan hoplites, and eighty Macedonian royal pikemen, all of whom together constituted the personal guard battalion that served as Bai Feng's own guard.

After the construction of the shooting range and the public bath, Bai Feng immediately included the Sifang Avenue in the construction queue, so that the three buildings cost another 6,400 gold in treasury funds, but fortunately, the construction time of the Sifang Avenue was only one month.

After the shooting range is officially built, Bai Feng can arrange the Longbow Wing and Crossbow Brigade of the Governor's Guard into the shooting range for special training, and the Longbow Wing attached to the legions of Gamilios and Gatus and Gatus will also enter the shooting range for special training.

As for whether the Longbow Wing in Bazel's Tiger Legion should be included in the special training sequence, this is a question worth thinking about Bai Feng; after all, the Tiger Legion already has two elite infantry wings and two infantry wings for special training in the urban military camp.

And Captain Bazel himself was only heavily loyal to Bai Feng, far less loyal than Captain Bronno, which was the most tricky thing for Bai Feng, and after careful consideration, Bai Feng still decided to let the Longbow Wing of the Tiger Legion join the special training.

The 2,500 men of the Doge's Guard, plus the 4,096 men of the Tasia Legion and the Cheetah Legion, plus the 4,000 men of the Tiger Legion, make up the special training sequence of the range this month.

After the soldiers of the various legions who had conducted the special training entered the shooting range, Bai Feng began to focus on improving the loyalty of the various legion commanders, and among all the legion commanders, Bazel became the target of Bai Feng's key promotion.

Visiting the Tiger Legion barracks for three days in a row was only the first step for Bai Feng, and his second plan was to focus on improving the living standards of the people of the former Bazel tribe, and buy Bazel's heart by giving preferential treatment to the members of the Bazel family.

After a month's hard work, the captains of all legions in Rome City have improved their loyalty considerably, and the only thing that has not changed is Upton, whose loyalty is not high.
