None of us really know our father, but we all have some kind of speculation or some kind of trust. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
- Menander (Greek New Comedy Poet)
Logically speaking, the current military buildings of Rome City are only four blacksmith shops, town barracks, stables, and training grounds.
But Bai Feng didn't dare to make his own decisions easily, because this Roman city is not the Roman city in the game, this is a real city, and every building in this city has its own special role, and Bai Feng must understand the role of these buildings through Yue'er.
Sure enough, after Yue'er heard Bai Feng say this, she didn't speak for the time being, but fell into deep thought; Bai Feng just waited quietly, and after the slightly frowning brow disappeared on Yue'er's face, Bai Feng knew that Yue'er already had the answer!
"Bai Feng, I think that after the blacksmith shop and the town barracks are built, the next thing we should consider building is the wooden wall, and I think the wooden wall is more useful to the city of Rome than the stables and training grounds where soldiers can be recruited.
For in the event of the outbreak of war, the enemy attacking us is the power of the Esthenic tribe, and its large army is likely to form an absolute numerical superiority over us, and it is necessary to improve the defense of our Roman city just in case.
After all, the combat effectiveness of the mercenary warriors is not guaranteed, and the number of troops in our Roman city is limited, so we can only build more valuable blacksmith shops and town barracks as much as possible before we have a choice.
Now that we have time to take the initiative, we should consider the bigger picture more comprehensively, and build wooden walls to strengthen the defense of the city of Rome, which is undoubtedly extremely useful, and wait until the wooden walls are built, and then we should build other buildings. ”
"Okay, then let's build a wooden wall first!" Bai Feng immediately clicked on the building column in the attribute table of Rome City, and chose a wooden wall that would take 800 gold and twenty days to build, and at this moment, Bai Feng saw the diplomat in the recruitment column again.
After the Doge's Palace was built last time, Bai Feng found that there was an extra diplomat available for recruitment in the recruitment column of Rome City, but Bai Feng didn't think that recruiting diplomats at this time would have any effect on Rome City, so he didn't care.
Now that he saw the diplomat in the recruitment column again, he had another idea in his heart: since the real city of Rome has changed drastically from the city of Rome in the game, does that mean that this diplomat also has new value?
In the game, the role of the diplomat is nothing more than to negotiate, and the purpose of negotiation is to buy rebels, make allies, gain trade rights, etc., and the most valuable part of this is probably to buy off the family members and armies of other factions.
However, this kind of game should be impossible in reality, at least there is no need to recruit special diplomats to deal with these things, especially since the recruitment price of a diplomat is as high as 250 gold, which is more expensive than recruiting a team of town militia!
"Yue'er, what did you say the diplomat that Rome City could recruit was for? Is it really just a diplomacy?" After thinking of this, Bai Feng naturally wanted to ask Yue'er with the doubts in his heart.
"No! the diplomats here are just using a name for the city of Rome to make you more familiar, and their actual name is the caster. Yue'er's natural answer made Bai Feng a little confused.
"Caster, what's that?"
"A spellcaster is a professional who uses spells to attack enemies, and if you use the language of this world, you should be called a magician, and a magician with the strength of a magician at least an intermediate level. ”
Well, Bai Feng never dreamed that the diplomats who appeared after the construction of the Governor's Palace would be the legendary magicians;
Either way, this news is good news for Bai Feng and the city of Rome, but Bai Feng doesn't have the extra money to recruit more magicians now, and after clicking to build the wooden wall, the city of Rome has only 585 gold left in the treasury.
At the end of the month, there are still generals, tribunes, tax collectors, and patrols to pay, and Bai Feng can't spend the treasury funds of Rome cleanly, and the recruitment of magicians has to be temporarily postponed to next month.
At this time, there were still more than twenty days before the end of May, Bai Feng could only wait for the time to pass while watching the wooden wall be built little by little;
Now the Tasya tribe has more than 12,000 warriors, and when Gatus and Licinius conquer the other three tribes, they don't need to send so many troops at once, and the logistics brought by too many troops are not something that the Tasya tribe can afford, which means that more troops must be left in the Tasya tribe.
With the completion of the construction of the blacksmith shop in Rome City, the warehouses in Rome City already have sophisticated weapons and equipment that can be used to arm 3,000 mercenaries, so Bai Feng plans to immediately start forming a real elite mercenary force in Rome City.
Five hundred archers, five hundred elite warriors, and two thousand pikemen, the selection of these three thousand warriors was not a difficult task for the Tassia tribe, but it was no easy task to train these three thousand free barbarian warriors into a disciplined mercenary force in the city of Rome.
At this time, it has been almost half a month since the patrol cavalry of the Essini tribe was defeated, and the time that Rome City can use to train mercenary troops is only a month and a half at most, and Bai Feng must hurry up in this regard.
Gamilios's loyalty to Bai Feng and the city of Rome is undoubted, on the day he received Bai Feng's order, he carefully selected 3,000 warriors from the more than 7,000 warriors left behind in the Tasya tribe to send to the city of Rome, among which the 500 warriors who joined the mercenaries of the city of Rome before the Tassia tribe were all among these 3,000 warriors, which can be regarded as a manifestation of Gamilios doing his best to help the city of Rome.
On the day that he got these 3,000 barbarian warriors, Bai Feng distributed all the sophisticated weapons and equipment in the warehouse of Rome City to them; under the premise that Licinius, the only general, was not in Rome City, Bai Feng had to temporarily appoint the brothers Leng Gundam and Leng Gaofei, the leaders of the Temple Warriors, as the instructors of the 3,000 Barbarian Warriors, while the 300 Temple Warriors served as the assistants of the two commanders.
