"Chapter 112: Seeing the Last Side"
If you criticize others, you don't have time to give love.

Early the morning of the second day after the battle, Yamashita Yoki was still busy with the families of the fallen soldiers that he had not finished pacifying, Natsukawa Heigong had already led 20,000 rested soldiers out of the camp to the east, and Nishimura Jun was distributing weapons and equipment to the 15,000 soldiers who were about to go on the expedition.
Yesterday's battle was not only the first battle after the founding of the Lucy Kingdom, but also the battle in which they gained Bai Feng's initial trust; Bai Feng would not be stingy with the army worthy of his trust, and he had 20,000 sets of relatively sophisticated weapons and equipment as soon as he struck.
The weapons and equipment that Bai Feng handed over to Naoki Yoshikawa and others before to arm the rebels were all weapons and equipment used by the barbarian warriors who were captured by Roman City, and the quality of those weapons and equipment, no matter how well preserved, could not be described as excellent.
It's just that compared to the improvised weapons and equipment used by the rebel soldiers, the reserve weapons and equipment in Rome City are still stronger, but compared to the weapons and equipment that Bai Feng took out this time, the gap between the two is very large.
These 20,000 sets of weapons and equipment composed of long swords, leather armor, and round shields are not trophies captured in Rome, but weapons and equipment made by Roman swordsmiths, blacksmiths, tailors and other professionals, and the quality is not much better than that of systematic weapons and equipment.
Of such a sophisticated 20,000 sets of weapons and equipment, 15,000 sets of Bai Feng were used for the 15,000 soldiers of the Lucy Expeditionary Legion under the command of Nishimura Jun, and the other 5,000 sets were left by Bai Feng to Yamashita Yangxi for him to change the clothes of his 5,000 personal guards.
Because the color of the Luxi tribe was yellow, the newly established Lucy Kingdom also used yellow as the color of the kingdom, and even the Lucy Expeditionary Corps, which had just changed its name, chose yellow as the color of their military uniforms and flags.
Looking at the soldiers of the Lucy Expeditionary Legion who were changing their costumes, he had never liked the yellow Bai Feng very much, and he always felt that there was a trace of inexplicable awkwardness in his heart; fortunately, it was not the first time he had experienced this kind of thing, and he didn't say anything.
In terms of the color of the military uniform, the barbarians are more than a star and a half worse than the Tianlong Empire; under Bai Feng alone, there are gray military uniforms of the city defense army, white military uniforms of the standing army, dark red military uniforms of the Yulin Legion, fiery red military uniforms of the Fire Legion, and so on.
In addition, there are also the purple uniforms of the Imperial Thunder Legion, the blue uniforms of the Imperial Storm Legion, and the golden uniforms of the Imperial Praetorian Guard.
That's it, not counting the various colors of military uniforms used by the private armies of various wealthy families in the territory of the Heavenly Dragon Empire; it is no exaggeration to say that if all the armies of the Heavenly Dragon Empire are gathered together, then there will be so many military uniforms of various colors that Bai Feng is dazzled!
Compared with the Celestial Dragon Empire, which has a variety of military colors, the current situation of Rome City is quite good; at least, Rome's own descendant army has always used the standard black military uniform, and the military uniform colors of the vassal army's army have also achieved internal unity.
For example, Queen Boudicca's Aceni Kingdom, whether it is the Guards and the Third Legion left behind in the kingdom, or the First Legion and the Second Legion transferred to the command of the city of Rome, the soldiers of these legions wear military uniforms of standard green uniforms.
After the adjustment of the army number, the 15,000 soldiers led by Nishimura Jun who followed the Roman army on the expedition were officially called the Lucy Expeditionary Legion, and the 50,000 soldiers who remained in the Lucy Kingdom were divided into four legions, namely the Guards Legion directly under Yoki Yamashita, the First Legion of Natsukawa Heiko, the Second Legion of Vered, and the Third Legion of Valc.
Among them, Yamashita Yoki's personal guard regiment had 5,000 elite soldiers and 5,000 ordinary soldiers, Xia Chuan Heigong's first army had 20,000 soldiers, and the remaining second army and third army had 10,000 soldiers each.
Promoted to Legion Commander by Yoki Yamashita of Lucy, Wiled and Valk were not shogunate spies or ninja generals, but natives of the noble warriors of southern Luxi, and their loyalty to Yoki Yamashita allowed them to become the new nobles of the kingdom.
For this kind of internal affairs in the Lucy Kingdom, as long as Yamashita Yangxi thinks that it is okay and will not affect the development of Roman City, Bai Feng will not interfere with it;
After about two hours of watching the Lucy Expeditionary Corps change their clothes, a wing commander of the Spartan Legion came to report to Bai Feng that the captured enemy commander who was guarded by the Spartan Legion was now sober and hoped to meet the people in charge behind the rebels.
Since Gregory can use the fresh adjective 'the person in charge behind the rebels', it means that his understanding of the situation is still relatively clear, and for this kind of clear-headed barbarian general, Bai Feng naturally won't mind meeting with the other party and having a good chat.
When Bai Feng came to the vicinity of the barracks with Bai Yi and four other personal guards and general guards, the soldiers of the First, Second, and Seventh Army Corps, who were cleaning the battlefield outside the city, stopped their movements one after another and saluted Bai Feng hundreds of meters away to show their respect.
Such a scene is just a small detail that is commonplace for the generals of Rome, but for Gregory, who also saw this scene, it was like a thunderclap in the clear sky, shattering the glimmer of hope in his heart.
Bai Feng, who strode into the military tent, saw Gregory with a somewhat lost expression at a glance, but François behind Gregory looked expressionless, as if Bai Wu, who was guarding them in the military tent, owed him millions of gold coins.
"Governor!" As soon as Bai Feng entered the military tent, Bai Wu and the elite soldiers of the Spartan Legion bowed in unison.
Bai Feng, who was a little not angry and arrogant, opened his mouth and ordered: "Bai Wu stays, and everyone else retreats first." ”
"No!" the soldiers of the Spartan Legion, who had been forbidden, turned sideways in unison, and walked straight out.
After the soldiers of the Spartan Legion left, Bai Feng walked up to the lifeless Gregory under the slightly nervous gaze of François, and asked him, "You are General Gregory, one of the three famous generals of the Luxi Tribe?"
"I'm Gregory. Gregory's face was full of bitterness and said: "In front of the governor of Rome, you don't dare to call yourself a famous general." ”
Gregory's words made Bai Feng suddenly curious, and he said with surprise: "Do you know the existence of Roman City?"
"I didn't know it, but now I do. Gregory, who had the direct character of a barbarian, said truthfully: "Last night François didn't sleep all night, and heard your people talk about the city of Rome repeatedly, and when I woke up today, he told me everything he had heard. ”
"I see!" Bai Feng, who nodded in default, suddenly turned his head and ordered: "Bai Wu, you go and relay what General Gregory just said to Leonidas, and tell him, forget it this time, I don't want this kind of thing to have a next time." ”
"No!" Bai Wu turned to leave.
